The Liu family, Helian Yu listened to Helian Yi talk about what happened on Madam Gu’s birthday banquet.

Helian Yi drank a large glass of water, preparing for his closing statement.

"So, I will act as the plaintiff’s defense attorney and bring a lawsuit against the defendant. The Gu family wants the sentence to be as heavy as possible."

To Helian Yi, this was a minor task. He despised child traffickers the most, since the nature of swapping children was even more heinous. Driven by justice, Helian Yi would not show mercy.

Moreover, due to the involvement of the Gu family and Gu Xianning, this case was bound to attract national attention. If handled well, Spring River Law Firm could gain immense fame from it, achieving two goals at once, why not?

Helian Yu remained silent for a long time. Helian Yi glanced at her: "Sister, what are you thinking?"

Helian Yu pressed her lips together: "I really did not expect that the celebrity Rong Xianning would be a child of the Gu family, and Gu Bichen turned out to be a fake."

Helian Yi sighed: "Who wouldn’t be surprised? It’s like a bolt from the blue, everyone is disoriented. I’m still somewhat bewildered myself."

Helian Yu, however, was thinking about something else: "Is the marriage contract between the Gu family and Shen You’an true?"

"It should be true. Gu Bichen mentioned it personally at the birthday banquet and even showed a token. Shen You’an admitted it, but she doesn’t acknowledge Gu Bichen as a person. She’s quite formidable and won’t be bound by the marriage contract."

Helian Yu squinted: "But what if it’s Rong Xianning? Would she acknowledge it?"

Helian Yi chuckled: "Sister, you’re asking a question you already know the answer to."

He also surfed the internet, and the Anning couple was trending intensely. He even watched a fan-made video with millions of shares and likes — no kidding, they’re quite a ship, and he’s already secretly shipping them.

Helian Yu looked worried, "What should we do about this?"

Helian Yi saw through his sister’s thoughts immediately: "You can’t rush things, especially with the attitude you had before. It’s generous enough that she hasn’t cut ties with Runxi yet."

"That’s because I didn’t know her lineage before, but now things are different..."

Helian Yi sighed: "Sister, you mustn’t let Shen You’an and Runxi know your thoughts. They’re people who can’t tolerate any sand in their eyes, the result might be counterproductive."

Helian Yu replied somewhat impatiently: "It’s not your place to scold me."

"Sister, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."

"Wait a minute." Helian Yu stopped him.

"The Yu Fusheng case won’t implicate me, right?"

"As long as you cooperate with the police investigation and answer their questions as usual, you’ll be fine. Although you’ve been close to the Yu family, you’re indeed smart enough not to become their murderous tool. You’ll be alright."

Helian Yu asked further: "I heard Yu Fusheng was caught while laundering money in Qingzhou, connected to the high-level of Tianlu Bank. I can’t believe someone like him was caught so easily, do you have any insider information?"

Helian Yi raised his eyebrows, gazing at his sister’s eager eyes, smiling and shaking his head.

"What you think was easy might be a carefully set trap by the other side for a long time, Yu Fusheng didn’t lose unjustly."

Helian Yu thought for a bit, uncertainly said: "Shen You’an?"

Helian Yi only smiled silently, saying no more.

After a while, Helian Yi left. As a prominent lawyer, he was indeed very busy; His sister called him, insisting on meeting him, so he postponed a meeting to come over.

When Helian Yi left, Helian Yu sat alone for a long time.

Thinking about her previous actions against Shen You’an, recalling the outcomes of the Yu family and Yu Fusheng, she broke into a cold sweat.

By evening, Liu Runxi came home from school.

At dinner, Helian Yu kept placing dishes in his bowl: "Eat more, look at how much you’ve lost weight."

Only growing taller without gaining weight, looking so thin it hurt her heart.

Liu Runxi put down his chopsticks: "I’m full."

Got up and left the dining room.

Helian Yu looked at the mountain of food accumulated in the small bowl, her brows furrowed.

After the meal, she carried a cup of hot milk and knocked on Liu Runxi’s room door.

"Come in."

A cold voice from the teenager came out.

Helian Yu opened the door and went in, the teenager sat at the desk, buried in a sea of questions, the dim haze outlined his slender side shadow, indifferent and focused.

Helian Yu instinctively softened her footsteps, walked over, and placed the milk by his hand.

Liu Runxi did not look up at her, as if he considered her air, or maybe the challenge in his hand was really too absorbing.

Helian Yu glanced around, Xixi was indeed a very neat person, the desk and bookshelf were tidily arranged, and he was very privacy-conscious, never allowing the maid to clean his room.
