Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

I... I'll give it to you.

These words were like a high-voltage current, instantly burning out Chen Ye's CPU.

He stood frozen in place, his hand gripping the bedroom doorknob, suspended in mid-air.

【Hold……】

What kind of inappropriate and offensive language is this?

"Paying for someone's affections? What era are we living in? Do you think I'm the kind of person who takes advantage of others in their vulnerable state?"

As soon as one thought pops into your head, another thought takes it down.

No, that's what I used to do...

He looked at the girl behind him, who had her head bowed low and was trembling all over.

She gave up.

She gambled with her only, and last, dignity.

Let's bet on whether he'll take on this hot potato.

Chen Ye's Adam's apple bobbed, and his throat felt dry.

He loosened the doorknob.

He turned around and walked back into the living room.

I walked to the bar, poured myself a full glass of ice water, and gulped it down in one go.

The cold liquid suppressed the rage and alcohol burning in his heart.

This also brought him to his complete waking up.

He put down the cup with a soft "bang".

The sound was particularly jarring in the quiet apartment.

Wen Yi's body trembled again.

Chen Ye still didn't look at her, but just turned his back to her, looking at the dark night outside the window.

A long time passed.

He only managed to utter one sentence.

"Let's talk about it after you win your father's case."

This statement is neither too light nor too heavy.

You can't hear any joy or anger in his voice, nor can you detect any emotion at all.

After saying that, he walked straight back to his bedroom without lingering.

"Bang."

The bedroom door was gently closed.

The two worlds were completely separated.

Outside the door, there was both despair and hope in Wenyi.

Inside the door, Chen Ye was in a state of chaos and struggle.

He threw himself heavily onto the bed and covered his head with the blanket.

bother.

This is so damn annoying.

All he wants is to make money, pick up girls, and live a life of debauchery.

Make up for all the things you didn't get to enjoy in your past life.

But fate had other plans to prevent him from having his wish.

The case in Qinghu Village was like this, and now Wen Yi is doing the same thing.

One mess after another kept piling up on him.

I'm not some living saint!

Chen Ye cursed inwardly and turned over.

But in his mind, the original owner's instinctive legal knowledge began to surface uncontrollably.

A case from seven years ago.

It involves the authorities.

Evidence is missing.

Appeal period...

A series of technical terms and legal dilemmas.

His mind automatically arranged and combined various combinations, analyzing the difficulty of the case.

The conclusion is that it's a dead end.

A complete and utter dead end.

Chen Ye slept very restlessly that night.

Early the next morning.

Chen Ye walked out of the bedroom with dark circles under his eyes.

The hangover and his frustration left him in a low mood.

I spotted the figure on the sofa at a glance.

Wen Yi was still wearing the same white dress she wore yesterday.

The hem of her skirt was covered in dust and wrinkled.

She just huddled in the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees, sitting there motionless.

Hearing the door open, she abruptly looked up.

Her small face was full of fatigue and haggardness.

His eyes were red and swollen, and covered with blood vessels.

It looks like he didn't sleep all night.

What a stubborn guy.

It's just one sentence, why is it taking this long?

Chen Ye mentally complained, then walked to the restroom with a blank expression.

The sound of rushing water filled the air.

I washed my face with cold water and looked up at the handsome yet unfamiliar man in the mirror.

He has the appearance of a refined scoundrel, but those eyes hidden behind his glasses...

Yet he possessed an undeniable air of roguishness.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

Coming out of the bathroom, he looked at Wen Yi, who was still sitting blankly on the sofa, and spoke impatiently.

"What are you still sitting there for?"

Startled by his shout, Wen Yi stood up in a panic.

She thought Chen Ye was going to kick her out.

"I...I'll leave right away..."

Chen Ye's head ached even more when he saw her looking like she was about to cry.

Go wash your face.

He pointed in the direction of the restroom.

"What's the matter? Go to the law firm later."

After saying that, he walked to the dressing room on his own to change his clothes.

Wen Yi stood there, stunned.

Go...go where the law says?

Does this mean he... agreed?

An overwhelming sense of ecstasy struck her instantly.

She couldn't believe her ears and stared blankly at Chen Ye's retreating figure.

His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Tears welled up uncontrollably once again.

But this time, they were tears of joy.

She realized what was happening and immediately rushed into the bathroom.

She came out again soon.

Although the redness and swelling on her face hadn't subsided, she looked much more energetic.

Chen Ye had already changed into a sharp suit.

He transformed back into the impeccably dressed, top-notch lawyer.

He glanced at Wen Yi, said nothing, and walked straight to the door.

"Keep up."

"Oh... okay!"

Wen Yi quickly followed.

The two walked out of the apartment, one after the other.

The elevator slowly descended from the top floor.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward in the cramped space.

Wen Yi wanted to thank him several times, but looking at Chen Ye's cold profile, she swallowed her words.

"Which school do you attend?"

Chen Ye suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Huh?" Wen Yi was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant.

"At...Xincheng University of Political Science and Law."

What year are you in?

"Junior year..."

[A law and political science university...and a top student.]

It's a pity that we got caught up in this mess.

Chen Ye kept quiet, lost in thought.

The elevator dinged as it arrived on the first floor.

The door slowly opened.

Chen Ye was about to step out when he suddenly stopped.

A tall, aloof figure appeared at the elevator entrance without any warning.

The white Chanel suit accentuated her elegant demeanor, making her resemble a lotus atop a snow-capped mountain.

It was Su Qingying.

Her appearance instantly chilled the air in the elevator to freezing point.

Su Qingying clearly didn't expect to run into Chen Ye here.

When she saw Chen Ye, and the woman behind him wearing a wrinkled dress.

When a young girl with a flustered and uneasy expression.

Something flashed across her perpetually aloof face.

Time: Early morning.

Location: Chen Ye's private apartment.

Characters: a lone man and a lone woman.

Everything is self-evident.

A faint smile curved at the corners of Su Qingying's lips.

She was mocking herself.

Why are you still angry when you're already divorced?

Who he brings home, how many he brings home, what does it have to do with me?

Chen Ye was stunned.

I felt a cold sweat break out on my back instantly.

He wanted to explain.

But looking at Su Qingying's cold and aloof demeanor, which kept everyone at arm's length...

He felt that any explanation would be weak and ineffective, and might even make him seem ridiculous.

Take a deep breath and force yourself to calm down.

He simply spoke softly.

"You've come here for something?"

Su Qingying did not answer immediately.

She walked past Chen Ye, went to another elevator, and pressed the up button.

Then, she turned around and looked at him coldly from a distance.

"What, Chen Ye, have you forgotten?"

"The divorce agreement states that I received one of the two apartments in this building."

Chen Ye's mind went blank for a moment.

He remembered.

The divorce agreement included three apartments registered under the original owner's name.

He kept one set for himself and gave two sets to Su Qingying.

Damn it, these two apartments are actually in the same building!

One is upstairs from him, and the other is downstairs from him!

This is practically like having surveillance cameras installed right outside your own house!

Although Su Qingying's expression remained cold.

But Chen Ye still managed to catch it.

The moment she saw herself standing next to Wen Yi.

Her flawless face twitched very slightly.

A strange sense of irritation welled up inside me.

He didn't want to stay here anymore.

"This is my client."

He hurriedly left those words behind.

Then he grabbed Wen Yi's arm, who was still standing there in a daze, and quickly walked out of the building.

Behind me, that cold gaze felt like a thorn in my side.

Stepping out of the apartment building, the cold wind outside made Chen Ye feel alive again.

Wen Yi was pulled along by him, staggering as she followed.

She asked softly, "Attorney Chen...did I...make that lady misunderstand?"

Chen Ye paused in his steps.

"My ex-wife."

Wen Yi watched his retreating figure, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

The two arrived at Juncheng Law Firm.

It was still early, and there weren't many people in the law firm.

Chen Ye took Wen Yi directly to the office of the public welfare department.

Anran and several young lawyers from her department have arrived and are organizing the documents.

Everyone was somewhat surprised to see Chen Ye bring in a strange girl.

Good morning, teacher.

An Ran was the first to react and greeted them with a smile.

But when she saw the girl behind Chen Ye, the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Wen Yi?!"

An Ran's exclamation drew everyone's attention.

"What are you doing here? And with... Attorney Chen?"

Chen Ye was also taken aback.

[Holy crap, how do you even know them? Is Xincheng a village?]

Wen Yi was also surprised to see An Ran, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Anran...Senior..."

Chen Ye coughed, breaking the eerie atmosphere.

He pointed to Wen Yi and introduced her to the people in the office:

"This is Wen Yi, a client I brought with me today."

He paused, then added.

"Our public interest department has taken on her case."

These words silenced the entire office.

Chen Ye ignored everyone's surprise.

He pulled up a chair, sat down, and faced Wen Yi.

"Alright, now get to your business."

Tell them everything exactly as it happened.

Wen Yi nodded.

She glanced at An Ran, then at Chen Ye.

Hope and determination rekindled in those swollen, red eyes.

She took a deep breath, as if summoning all the courage she had in her life.

She spoke slowly in front of everyone.

He uttered a statement that shocked the entire audience.

Seven years ago, my father, Wen Guodong, the deputy director of the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau, was investigating a case involving two perpetrators...
