"Hmm," Zuzi took a sip of the peach blossom wine Bao Gucheng brought and answered confidently, "It’s Xiao Yu."

The wine had a strong peach blossom flavor, but it didn’t really taste like alcohol, Xiao Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiusha’s mind exploded: "How can these people speak about him like that? He is a man of integrity, works diligently, and doesn’t charge for helping the poor with their lawsuits. His office is filled with banners from grateful clients; he would never defend a villain for money..."

"Miss Gu believes in him too much." Bao Gucheng said lightly, as he refilled her and Zuzi’s glasses. He had specifically found someone to brew a low-alcohol peach blossom wine, not worrying about the ladies getting tipsy.

Just as Bao Gucheng finished speaking. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The door to the private room was pushed open from outside: "Bao Gucheng, what are you defaming me about while I’m not around!"

"Brother!" Gu Qiusha couldn’t help but stand up.

Gu Yuzhi walked in with a stern expression and only softened a bit when his gaze met Gu Qiusha’s worried eyes: "Sha Sha, I’m fine. Victory and defeat are common in warfare. No one can guarantee winning every lawsuit. As long as I have a clear conscience, I don’t care about the gossip outside."

Gu Qiusha nodded and quickly served him some desserts, and organized a few dishes that had been kept warm in the kitchen: "Brother, eat first, then let’s talk."

Gu Yuzhi looked at the food but really had no appetite, even considering his sister’s thoughtful effort; forcing a taste of the dessert, he found it hard to swallow.

Zuzi certainly had a way with words.

He hadn’t eaten before, and now he truly couldn’t swallow anything.

Especially with this scheming wolf beside him stirring things up—

Bao Gucheng, with a calm demeanor, poured more wine and said, "If Lawyer Gu truly has a clear conscience, could you tell Miss Gu who the high-caliber opposing lawyer was in your case?"

Gu Yuzhi’s expression changed slightly: "That has nothing to do with the opposition."

The people present were piqued with curiosity: "Oh, which lawyer managed to overturn Professor Gu’s case? The news earlier didn’t seem to mention a name, just the surname, what was it..."

Bao Gucheng grinned faintly: "Does it truly have nothing to do?"

Gu Yuzhi: "Bao Gucheng, what do you mean!"

Bao Gucheng: "Nothing much, only that interestingly, the lawyer who defeated you was said to have the surname Shangguan..."

"Could it be Shangguan Wanwan?" Gu Qiusha’s mind suddenly conjured up the name of this distant cousin.

The surname Shangguan is rare, and someone who returned from abroad as a legal professional—it couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it?

Having the name exposed, Gu Yuzhi reluctantly nodded: "It’s Cousin Wan." But immediately shot a fierce look at Bao Gucheng, "So what if it’s her, this was handled professionally, she only won because she had new evidence..."

Bao Gucheng interrupted him: "We’re not interested in the reasons, we just know that this Cousin Wan you speak of was intended as a good match for you by the old man?"

"Bao Gucheng!" Gu Yuzhi, at the end of his patience, was almost about to slam the table.

Bao Gucheng slowly curved his lips, seemingly inadvertently saying, "Why is Lawyer Gu so anxious? I just suddenly thought, if your Cousin Wan also came to this gathering today, based on ’respect for seniors,’ where do you plan to have her sit?"

Gu Yuzhi: "..."

This scheming wolf of a man, Bao Gucheng, had been waiting for him to fall into this trap all along.

Previously, he had insisted on using the excuse of ’seniority’ to separate Bao Gucheng and Zuzi’s seats. Bao Gucheng was displeased about it, and now intentionally used Shangguan Wanwan to taunt him—was he planning to seat Sha Sha and Wan Wan on either side of him ’according to seniority’?

Such a vindictive man!
