Chapter 401: Learn from your Daughter

ss all the popular stars.Lu Yaoyao meaningfully said, “Oh… truth” Thinking to herself, "As expected, love makes one see beauty in everything."Lu Kuo couldn't hear anything else from Gu Ruanruan excep...When getting off the bus, Shu Xiaohua hugged her father and acted coquettishly: "Although I like Uncle Yi very much, I love my father the most. Besides my mother, I love my father the most. My mother is first, my father is second, Uncle Yi is third, Aunt UA is fourth, and Grandma and Grandpa are fifth."

Zuo Yu'an's heart melted instantly. His precious daughter was truly an angel, even stronger than her mother.

"Learn a thing or two from your daughter," he said, glancing at Shu Tinglan.

Shutinglan smiled. She truly couldn't learn Shu Xiaohua's sweet-talking ways. She wondered who she took after. Both Zhuo Jia's parents and Zhuo Yu'an were straightforward people, and Shutinglan, including her own parents, weren't good at speaking sweetly either. Only Shu Xiaohua was different, perhaps a genetic mutation.

Back home, Zhuo Yu'an was playing with the children. She went to her study alone to work overtime and sort out the case for Hong'er company. Suddenly, she remembered the old Ding riding a motorcycle on the street when she got off work. After thinking about it, she gave Old Ding a call.

The phone rang twice before being answered, and Lao Ding's hearty voice came through.

“Sister-in-law How do you have time to call me” Old Ding still called her sister-in-law out of habit.

"Well, I saw you at the Wenchang Road intersection today, but you were riding too fast and I didn't have time to say hello. How are you doing lately"

Lao Ding was silent for a moment, then replied.

“Sister-in-law, to be honest with you, I've been having some upsetting things lately. That's why I came to Wuchang Road today.”

"What's up"

"Isn't this a competition at the club We agreed that the first-place winner would get 100,000 yuan in prize money. Now the organizers are refusing to pay up! I went there to demand an explanation. Big sister-in-law, let me tell you, these people are taking advantage of my absence. They think because I'm not around, they can bully us!"

"What did the other party say" Shu Tinglan asked.

“He wouldn't say anything, just being a bully and refusing to admit it. Now that the competition is over, they got the sponsorship and publicity they wanted, but they won't give us the money. We have no recourse.” Lao Ding could only accept his bad luck. He had encountered this kind of situation occasionally before, but with Yi Muyang backing them up, nobody in the circle dared to offend him. As soon as he appeared, they wouldn't dare to withhold prize money.

Is there a lawyer present

"Hire a lawyer It's not worth it. That amount of money isn't enough to pay a lawyer, and I don't want to make things so difficult in the circle." Lao Ding hadn't dealt with lawyers much before and thought it was too much trouble. After going home today, he just wanted to let it go.

"Lawyer fees aren't as expensive as you think, and besides, if you swallow your anger this time, next time other organizers will see that you're easy to bully and won't give you a prize. Send me the opponent's information and the materials related to this competition, I'll take a look first." Shu Tinglan's mind flashed back to when he was with Yi Muyang at Lao Ding's house in the suburbs. He had removed his prosthetic leg and was bouncing excitedly up to the table.

Although Lao Ding didn't say anything, seemingly carefree, Shu Tinglan knew his struggles. Being older and with only a few years left in his career, he had no other means of survival besides competition. Recovering and securing a pension wasn't easy.

Lao Ding could hear that she meant to help him, and he was deeply touched.

“Thank you, sister-in-law. I knew my brother wouldn't make a mistake about people.”

"Please give me the other party's information as soon as possible, the more detailed the better. I'll go over it tonight and talk to you about it specifically tomorrow."

"No need, no need. I'll go to your law firm tomorrow. Anyway, I'm free these days."

"Okay, I'll give you the address later."

Shu Tinglan hung up the phone and sent the address to Lao Ding on WeChat. She had originally called to ask if he had any news about Ding Zhi or Yi Mu Yang, but unexpectedly, she could help him out. If Yi Mu Yang was there, he would definitely help Lao Ding without hesitation. Since he wasn't, she did it for him.

Zuo Yu'an entered the study and saw her staring blankly at her phone.

“Who did you just call”

"A friend of mine, Lao Ding, I'll introduce you to him another day."

"Okay."

The study door wasn't closed. He could vaguely hear it just now, it should be Yi Muyang's friend.

Shutinglan was feeling a bit negative at the moment. Lao Ding's prosthetic leg kept swinging back and forth in front of her, prompting her to sigh: "Everyone is trying to live their lives, but life doesn't treat everyone fairly."

"So melancholic"

"Well, this friend is a close friend of Yi Muyang. He's a very free-spirited and generous person."

"Could you please tell me"

"OK."

Lao Ding's case, she should be able to handle it herself, it's not yet time for him to make a move.

The next day, Lao Ding came to Lushan Law Firm as promised. Standing at the front desk, his image and temperament seemed out of place. He was holding a black helmet in his hand. He was tall and burly, wearing a black leather jacket on top, jeans on the bottom, and Martin boots. He looked like a motorcycle model. Although his features were a bit rough, his overall demeanor was still good.

The front desk girl occasionally glanced up at him.

"Are you looking for Lawyer Shu"

"Yes."

"Do you have plans"

"It's been a while."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The front desk had informed Shu Tinglan, and Lao Ding sat a little awkwardly on the sofa in the reception area. When he saw Shu Tinglan hurrying down from upstairs, he suddenly stood up and smiled, "Sister-in-law, this way."

Lao Ding felt sentimental, my sister-in-law is still the best looking. Although I saw many female lawyers coming in and out just now, they were fashionable and beautiful, but none of them could compare to my sister-in-law's natural beauty. Only my brother Yi has the best eyesight.

This "sister-in-law" successfully charmed the receptionist again. Yesterday, the CEO of Zhuo Yuan Technology personally came to the law firm to pick her up, and everyone was curious about Lawyer Shu's love life. Now, suddenly, there's someone calling her "sister-in-law," and it's obvious that she's not Zhuo's brother.

Shu Tinglan ignored the strange looks from the crowd and, seeing Lao Ding, she was very happy inside.

"Come, let's go to the conference room."

"Well, sister-in-law, your workplace is really nice." He was showering her with compliments behind her back, towering over Shu Tinglan by a significant margin. Twice her size, he was following behind her with utmost deference, creating a rather incongruous scene.

When they arrived at the meeting room, they exchanged pleasantries. Lao Ding sighed and said, "I wonder how my friend Yi is doing lately"

Has he been in touch with you

"No, people from the club in the city said they hadn't seen him for a long time either."

Shu Tinglan nodded, his heart couldn't help but worry more about Yi Muyang's safety. But at the moment, there was nothing he could do. He calmed himself down and started to tell Lao Ding about his case.

"The organizer of this competition has a bad track record, they were exposed by players before. How could you still participate"

Old Ding scratched his head and said a little awkwardly, “I was also hoping for the best. It’s not entirely bad; it usually pays out bonuses most of the time.”

Lao Ding has been a little short on money recently, so he's participating in every competition he can. With the large prize amount this time, he was very interested.said cheerfully: "Teacher Gu's boyfriend is so thoughtful, every dish is made according to your tastes."Ruann had not yet spoken, but the students behind her loudly thanked him: "Thank you, senior."Th...
