Episode 20 recap: New issues have arisen in the case of Mengting.
Cheng Yao and everyone drank a lot of alcohol together, and at this moment, the atmosphere was very cheerful. After getting drunk, Cheng Yao publicly expressed her gratitude and mentioned how happy she was to work with everyone. Qian Heng was speechless, and Cheng Yao directly spilled beer on Qian Heng. Helpless, Qian Heng had to go back to the room to deal with it.
Wu Jun was still gossiping with everyone about a classmate who pursued Qian Heng in the past. Qian Heng even directly rejected the person. Cheng Yao, in a daze, asked Wu Jun if Qian Heng had any childhood traumas, otherwise, why would she be so difficult to handle? Wu Jun was earnestly explaining to Cheng Yao when Qian Heng, having changed clothes, quickly called Wu Jun aside. Although it's unknown what they said, seeing them getting close, Qian Heng felt a twinge of jealousy, thinking that Cheng Yao should only be that intimate with Qian Heng.
That night, Qian Heng lay on the bed thinking about Cheng Yao giving her a gift. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yao made such bold remarks. Just at that moment, as Qian Heng laid on the bed, she felt like she saw Cheng Yao sitting next to her, saying she wanted to have a child with her. Qian Heng felt a bit embarrassed, but as she turned over, she suddenly woke up from the dream. It turned out that everything that happened was just a dream.
Qian Heng lay back in bed, preparing to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. On the other hand, Cheng Yao woke up groggily and went to get water. Suddenly, she remembered her drunken state and thought that it was all over, considering she had lost control of herself the day before. Qian Heng woke up and initially wanted to message Cheng Yao saying she wouldn't go to the law firm, but then she remembered the birthday gift Cheng Yao gave her. In the end, she decided to go. Wu Jun quickly noticed the dark circles under Qian Heng's eyes.
Cheng Yao was late for work, and the other employees went to attend a lecture on love. Initially, Qian Heng didn't want Cheng Yao to go, but Cheng Yao still went because she felt uncomfortable facing Qian Heng alone and feared being fired by her.
During the meeting, Qian Heng deliberately asked Cheng Yao's opinion, but Cheng Yao's response was unsatisfactory to Qian Heng. In the end, Qian Heng abruptly ended the lecture, and the teacher worried it was due to their poor presentation. Qian Heng felt frustrated when Cheng Yao confessed her feelings but didn't take any further action. He was quite puzzled and went online to inquire, wanting to know the reason.
Some netizens responded to him and even encouraged him to take the initiative. However, just at that moment, Cheng Yao came in and startled Qian Heng, who quickly closed the laptop. Cheng Yao wanted to find a restaurant to have dinner with Qian Heng, but the purpose was only to discuss the case, leaving Qian Heng feeling a bit disappointed.
In the evening, Cheng Yao had dinner with her sister, and it was apparent that her sister had something on her mind. Later, Cheng Xi mentioned that Deng Ming had been harassing her, so she reluctantly chose to attend the gathering. Cheng Xi also advised her sister not to tell Wu Jun about the plan to move, as she herself wasn't ready to enter a new relationship.
Cheng Yao agreed to her sister's request, and soon Wu Jun came over to inquire about Cheng Xi. Cheng Yao could tell that Wu Jun genuinely liked her sister, so she spoke honestly. Wu Jun felt a bit disappointed in his heart.
Later at night, Cheng Yao received a message from Qian Heng. Qian Heng was frustrated because Cheng Yao hadn't taken any further action recently. Cheng Yao was currently assisting with Mengting's lawsuit. It seemed that Qian Heng's boyfriend had already been involved in an affair, and it was discovered that their marriage certificates were fake because he wasn't present when Mengting went to receive the marriage certificate.
They still owned a property together that they had purchased. Now the other party wanted to take it all for themselves and even managed to get Qian Heng to sign a loan agreement without realizing it. However, Qian Heng was unable to repay the loan. Upon realizing this, Mengting became extremely anxious. The only thing Cheng Yao could do was to stabilize Mengting's emotions. After returning to the law firm, Cheng Yao reported the situation to Qian Heng. Qian Heng only uttered one sentence, but Cheng Yao suddenly thought of a breakthrough in the case. She hurriedly went to find Mengting.
In fact, if Mengting intentionally lost the case, the court would enforce the property division, and the money she invested in buying the house would be allocated to her. Even if they were to sell the house, they would still make a substantial profit. Mengting was very happy and determined to prepare for the judicial examination and become a lawyer like Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao posted pictures of the meal she cooked on her social media, and Qian Heng, who was eating takeout, saw it, which made her feel even more upset.
