Episode 31 recap: Liang Yi Ran destroyed important evidence against Cheng Yao.
When Cheng Yao came back, he thought Qian Heng had already left, but he didn't expect Qian Heng to have prepared a cake and gifts. Cheng Yao was deeply moved and thanked Qian Heng for everything he had prepared. Unexpectedly, Qian Heng had bought the couple necklace that Cheng Yao didn't have time to buy, and he was wearing it around his neck. Cheng Yao was very touched when he saw it.
At first, Cheng Yao felt a bit disappointed, but he didn't expect Qian Heng to surprise him. Cheng Yao still slept with Qian Heng that night, but when he woke up the next morning, he found that Qian Heng had already left for a business trip. Next to him was the carefully prepared doll Cheng Yao had made. During the time Qian Heng was away, the doll kept him company.
Cheng Yao took a photo and sent it to Qian Heng. Qian Heng also called Liang Yi Ran, hoping that she would treat Cheng Yao well and give him some training. Liang Yi Ran, of course, purposely asked Qian Heng to bring her a lipstick, but she had her own ulterior motives. It wasn't the lipstick she lacked, but she wanted to make Cheng Yao jealous.
After this period of time, Liang Yi Ran handed over an independent case to Cheng Yao. In fact, it was a very difficult case, and Liang Yi Ran intentionally wanted to train Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao went to the other party's house to gather information, and she even took out some of her supposedly valuable items and had Cheng Yao write them down truthfully.
Cheng Yao diligently recorded everything she said. Later, the two went to a café. The aunt they met there was also a very difficult person to deal with, and she even ordered a bunch of things when they went out for coffee. She also asked Cheng Yao to help with some lawyer fees in advance. The aunt always talked about random things, and Cheng Yao was very speechless.
After returning, they started to submit reimbursement forms. Guo Ying brought desserts, and during Qian Heng's absence, Guo Ying would take care of Cheng Yao whenever she had free time. On the other hand, Qian Heng's work was going smoothly, and both parties in the negotiation were satisfied. In the evening, Qian Heng called Cheng Yao, and because she mentioned wanting to see the sea, Qian Heng specially went to the seaside to show it to her.
Cheng Yao was still working overtime at the law firm until late. The next morning, Cheng Yao handed over the organized documents to Liang Yi Ran. Liang Yi Ran originally thought it would be difficult for Cheng Yao, but she didn't expect that Cheng Yao had completed everything perfectly.
Qian Heng sent a message asking about it, and Liang Yi Ran truthfully said that Cheng Yao did a great job.
After Cheng Yao left work, unexpectedly Liang Yi Ran casually opened her drawer and threw away the most important IOU (promissory note).
The next morning, when Auntie found out, she was extremely angry and scolded Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao didn't expect to lose the item and subsequently wrote a commitment letter to Auntie, stating that if the court couldn't rule in her favor for the money, Cheng Yao would personally compensate Auntie.
In court, Auntie got into an argument with her ex-husband. Auntie's emotions were in turmoil, and she was eventually escorted out of the courtroom by court police. After her emotions calmed down, she returned to the courtroom. Cheng Yao comforted Auntie and presented bank transfer records. Although the loan agreement was temporarily missing, Cheng Yao had obtained records of the bank transfers, which served as strong evidence.
The judge acknowledged it, and it must be said that Cheng Yao did a remarkable job by submitting crucial evidence at the last moment, helping Auntie win the lawsuit. Nevertheless, Auntie wasn't entirely pleased. When Cheng Yao left, she bumped into her senior brother, Li Cheng Xuan, and they complained about Qian Heng, but Cheng Yao remained silent.
Li Cheng Xuan praised Cheng Yao's impressive win in the industry. However, at that moment, Auntie suddenly arrived at the law firm and berated Cheng Yao, calling her a heartless lawyer. Auntie demanded not only to have her legal fees waived but also to be compensated for emotional distress by Cheng Yao.
Auntie threw eggs at Cheng Yao, and right at that moment, Liang Yi Ran arrived. Guo Ying quickly called Wu Jun for help. Liang Yi Ran superficially took the blame upon herself but actually smeared Cheng Yao's reputation. Cheng Yao felt helpless.
Now she became an even more despised target. Cheng Yao openly stated that Liang Yi Ran mishandled the matter, and she even said that the loss of evidence was inexplicable, so a proper investigation should be conducted. Liang Yi Ran deliberately whispered to colleagues that Cheng Yao was just a figurehead, and they all joined in agreement. Now all the blame was directed at Cheng Yao.
Wu Jun saw through Liang Yi Ran's ulterior motives and warned her that they initially hired her based on her work, but now they considered it a mistake.
