Chen Cheng smiled. "Family? Abandoning your wife and daughter when you were young, only to remember you have family when you're old?"

The corner of Robin's mouth twitched; this Mr. Chen was even more of a cynical youth than he was.

Chen Cheng added, "Besides, whether Li Na is actually Li Weizheng's daughter is still up for debate."

Robin's gaze sharpened. "What do you mean by 그게 무슨 뜻입니까?"

Chen Cheng looked in Li Weizheng's direction and gave a light chuckle. "With a guy like Li Weizheng, could he really produce a girl as striking as Li Na?"

"You mean Li Na isn't Li Weizheng's daughter?"

Chen Cheng shook his head. "I didn't say that."

The original plot had hinted that Li Na might not be Li Weizheng's daughter, but rather the child of Li Na's mother and another man; however, this had never been verified.

Seeing Li Weizheng in person today, Chen Cheng felt that the rumors circulating among the neighbors actually held some degree of credibility.

Robin frowned. "Mr. Chen seems very concerned about this matter."

Chen Cheng glanced at him; he was doubting his motives.

The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked straight at him. "Li Na is my assistant and will be the director of my secretarial office in the future. Naturally, I have to be concerned."

"Aren't you worried about affecting True Sincerity's reputation?"

Chen Cheng smiled. "True Sincerity's reputation doesn't need to be protected by sacrificing employees."

"If Lawyer Robin is quite free, you'd better think carefully about how to negotiate the case I gave you."

Robin revealed a smile, and his hanging heart finally settled down.

What he was most worried about wasn't actually Li Weizheng, but rather True Sincerity.

He was worried that Chen Cheng would directly fire Li Na for the sake of reputation or to reduce unnecessary trouble.

Although this might lead Li Na back to the law firm, the process wasn't what he wanted.

"Mr. Chen is very confident."

"An old man who can't make it on his own and a lawyer who leeches off human tragedies for traffic—together, they're just a tiny nuisance. What's there to worry about?" Chen Cheng said dismissively.

Robin looked at Chen Cheng with a smile on his face. "Mr. Chen is an interesting person."

Chen Cheng glanced at him, intending to provoke him on purpose. "Li Na said the same thing."

The corner of Robin's mouth twitched instantly, and he began to change the subject.

"What is Mr. Chen's relationship with Miss Qiao Jingjing?"

He explained further, "It's not that I want to pry into your privacy, Mr. Chen, but if we enter negotiations, the other party might use your relationship to make a fuss and increase their bargaining chips."

"I'll have someone send a message. Unless they're prepared for mutual destruction, they won't have the guts."

"Also, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"Jingjing and I were high school classmates; she was even my desk mate."

Robin was stunned; it was exactly as he had thought.

A hero's rage for a beauty, spending a fortune.

According to his estimation, to complete the settlement, the liquidated damages would likely be between one or two small targets.

In the entertainment industry, that was absolutely an astronomical price.

Chen Cheng looked at Robin and suddenly narrowed his eyes. He could think of using both the carrot and the stick on his end.

Then Robin...

"Did you send someone to Li Na's hometown?"

Robin looked at Chen Cheng in surprise. "Did Mr. Chen send someone?"

"Answer my question first." Chen Cheng gave him an annoyed look.

Robin shook his head. "Not yet. I originally came to talk to Li Weizheng first before making further plans."

"I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be here."

After saying that, Robin asked in return, "So Mr. Chen sent someone?"

Chen Cheng didn't answer his question but instead frowned.

In this matter, the combination of soft and hard tactics didn't seem perfect enough; he had neglected the possibility of going to court.

"Send a lawyer to Li Na's hometown to collect some witness testimony. It's best to find witnesses willing to appear in court."

Hmm?

Robin glanced at Chen Cheng and quickly understood what he meant—striking first to gain the upper hand.

"I'll arrange it right away."

A moment later, Zou Yu walked over.

Her expression wasn't very good.

Chen Cheng frowned. "The talk failed?"

Zou Yu was fuming. She took a deep breath before saying, "There's a troublemaker there. Whenever I talk about one thing, he drags it off to something else."

"Now the old man not only demands that Li Na fulfill her support obligations and take care of him until he dies in Shanghai, but he also wants Li Na to publicly apologize to him for the events of the past few days."

"Heh~ quite a lot of demands," Chen Cheng sneered, then turned to introduce Zou Yu. "This is Lawyer Robin."

Zou Yu nodded. "I know him. Lawyer Robin from Quanjing Law Firm." She smiled and reached out to Robin. "Hello, Lawyer Robin, I am Zou Yu."

Robin stood up politely and lightly shook Zou Yu's hand. "Hello, Lawyer Zou."

Seeing the two finish their greetings, Chen Cheng beckoned to Zou Yu. "Come sit down. Tell Lawyer Robin about the process in detail while you're at it."

"Lawyer Robin is also very concerned about Li Na."

Zou Yu raised an eyebrow at Robin, then at Chen Cheng, feeling like the two were secretly competing.

She curled her lip, not bothering to care, and plopped down next to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng naturally raised his hand and rested it on Zou Yu's waist.

Robin's pupils constricted as he saw their intimate behavior.

Noticing his gossiping gaze, Chen Cheng gave an "Oh~" and said, "Lawyer Zou is also my girlfriend."

Robin's eyes widened instantly. This was his girlfriend? Then what was the deal with that female star?

However, Robin quickly retracted his playful gaze and sat back in his chair.

Zou Yu briefly discussed the process of the conversation just now.

After listening, Robin took his leave; he still insisted on going to talk to Li Weizheng.

Chen Cheng just chuckled and didn't stop him.

He left with Zou Yu.

Robin was indeed somewhat similar to his brother, but he was still far behind Old Tan.

Chen Cheng didn't need to wonder what Tan Zongming's feelings for Andy were, because Old Tan was very measured in his interactions with Andy.

But Robin was different; he couldn't grasp that sense of propriety.

He flirted with Li Na on one hand, yet didn't really want to be with her on the other.

Meanwhile, he was still thinking about Lan Hong, who had dumped him to climb the social ladder.

So many years had passed, and Lan Hong had long since belonged to someone else, yet he was still thinking of her.

Even his computer password was Lan Hong's birthday.

Now it was perfect; Li Na had resigned, allowing Chen Cheng to seize this opening.

A simp, a simp, simping until he has nothing left in the end.

Oh, no, he has a new assistant now.

In the evening, Chen Cheng had Gao Yue book two rooms near the company.

Li Na stayed in one, while Chen Cheng and Zou Yu stayed in the other.

Li Na knew about their relationship, and Zou Yu wasn't embarrassed either.

Chen Cheng experienced the wildness of Little Zou in leather.

She was wearing a biker-style outfit today, and Chen Cheng couldn't bear to have her take it off.

Zou Yu was like a veteran biker, driving a motorcycle and racing wildly through the wilderness.

Howling freely, flying, and shouting with open arms.

Of course, most of the time, it was Chen Cheng who was honing his motorcycle...

Motorcycle driving skills.
