Before, the warnings they had given Tang Yi were still vivid in her mind. Tang Yi tried her best to remain calm.
She reassured herself that this was Yan Cheng, and with Fu Yan Ting's protection, she would be fine. Those people would all be dealt with by Fu Yan Ting.
Just as the judge announced that the case was concluded, the defendant had lost, and must compensate the plaintiff for their losses.
However, Yan Xi had money, beauty, and… Fu Yan Ting.
It could be said she lacked nothing, so when the defendant offered Yan Xi a sum of money as compensation, Yan Xi refused.
Yan Xi asked them to apologize to her online.
Although these people were unwilling, they had no better option at the moment.
As everyone was preparing to leave the courtroom, Fu Yan Ting suddenly spoke, "Wait a moment."
Everyone was puzzled. The lawsuit was over, the defendant had conceded and would apologize to Yan Xi and compensate her losses. What else could Fu Yan Ting be dissatisfied with?
Under everyone's confused gazes, Fu Yan Ting slowly stood up, surveyed the room, and then spoke softly, "These people were murmuring below, saying all sorts of things about the discord between my wife and me. Now, I am formally suing them for personal defamation."
Fu Yan Ting was not usually petty; he was very generous and passionate about charity. For some reason today, he was determined not to let these people off the hook.
These people were invited by the defendant, and they had only acted according to the defendant's requests. How could they end up in such trouble?
No one had experienced this before. They looked at each other, filled with anxiety, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Fu Yan Ting, however, paid no mind to their thoughts. He paused, then spoke again, "I want Lawyer Zheng to represent me."
Zheng Ze Min, standing nearby, visibly displeased.
He had taken on Yan Xi's case because of their established friendship.
But what was Fu Yan Ting to him?
Even though it was Fu Yan Ting's territory in Yan Cheng and everyone vied to flatter him, Zheng Ze Min was not swayed.
Zheng Ze Min had very high standards when taking on a case. His first requirement was that he must find the client agreeable.
Zheng Ze Min could still recall Fu Yan Ting flaunting his wealth in front of him and showing affection to teachers and principals at school with Yan Xi.
At that time, Zheng Ze Min felt like a transparent figure, with no sense of presence at all.
Now, Fu Yan Ting actually wanted him to be his lawyer.
Just as Zheng Ze Min was about to refuse, he met Fu Yan Ting's gaze and could no longer utter the words of refusal.
Because Fu Yan Ting's eyes told Zheng Ze Min that he was doing all of this for Yan Xi.
In the end, Zheng Ze Min could only resignedly accept the case.
After everyone had left the courtroom, Tang Yi walked up to Fu Yan Ting. She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Mr. Fu, in order to help Miss Yan clear her name, I have offended people. They definitely won't let me off. You previously said you would protect my safety. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
"You haven't found a job after graduating from university, have you? Are you interested in joining Fu Corporation?"
Fu Yan Ting's words had undoubtedly made arrangements for Tang Yi's future. Tang Yi had initially only been worried that Fu Yan Ting would go back on his word and abandon her after she helped Yan Xi.
However, Tang Yi never expected Fu Yan Ting to be so reliable.
If she had known, she wouldn't have helped those people frame Yan Xi.
Seeing that Tang Yi did not respond, Fu Yan Ting asked in a low voice, "You're not willing?"
"I am willing, I am willing."
Zheng Ze Min curled his lips dismissively. It was just a job, was she that eager?
Saying "I am willing" like that, if people didn't know better, they would think she was offering to marry him.
Tang Yi, seemingly oblivious to Zheng Ze Min's disdain, turned to him and asked, "Brother Zheng, are you also a lawyer at Fu Corporation? Can we become colleagues?"
"I have no connection with Fu Corporation and will never be an employee there. So, the difficulty of becoming colleagues with you is as high as reaching the stars."
Tang Yi had initially intended to build a good relationship with Zheng Ze Min first, so that she wouldn't be lonely and pitiful after joining the company.
Moreover, she was a good cook. If they were colleagues, she could bring two lunches to work.
However, Zheng Ze Min seemed not to like her.
Tang Yi, being quite naive, felt a pang of disappointment at this thought.
Although Tang Yi's fleeting disappointment was barely perceptible, Fu Yan Ting caught it.
Fu Yan Ting raised an eyebrow and immediately said, "Although you can't be colleagues, if you are proactive enough, you can develop other relationships."
Zheng Ze Min froze slightly, then recalled Fu Yan Ting's words from a few days ago about helping him arrange a marriage.
His expression turned extremely grim.
He said faintly, "Boring."
With that, he turned and left.
Tang Yi, on the other hand, had no idea what had happened.
She turned to look at Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi, and asked in confusion, "Mr. Fu, why is he angry? Did I say something wrong?"
Fu Yan Ting replied, "He's not angry. He's shy."
Yan Xi also felt that Tang Yi and Zheng Ze Min were quite a good match.
Although Tang Yi had posted those photos online under her name, making Yan Xi feel utterly humiliated.
However, Tang Yi's nature was not bad, and she had eventually honestly come forward to explain things clearly.
For this reason alone, Yan Xi couldn't bring herself to dislike her.
Although Tang Yi was quite naive and often didn't grasp the deeper meanings of words, Fu Yan Ting's statement was so direct that Tang Yi understood it.
Tang Yi's face instantly flushed red.
Seeing Tang Yi's shy expression rather than anger, Yan Xi immediately knew that Tang Yi harbored feelings for Zheng Ze Min.
At least, she had a favorable impression of him.
As long as one party had a favorable impression, it meant fifty percent of the success, and these two had a chance.
And although Zheng Ze Min spoke harshly and left without looking back, Yan Xi, having been classmates with him for several years, knew him well.
Zheng Ze Min was not eloquent and was rather introverted.
Therefore, he had been moved just now but didn't know how to express his feelings, so he used anger to conceal himself.
Fu Yan Ting took Yan Xi home. This time, Yan Xi did not act coy or keep meticulous accounts with Fu Yan Ting.
After this incident, Yan Xi deeply realized that no matter how much she evaded or deceived herself, she could not change the fact that she loved Fu Yan Ting.
Even without the tie of a child, she had already become a mother.
Therefore, despite the regret, it was not the entirety of Yan Xi's life.
