==============
The lawyer Ye Chengxing had arranged to meet surnamed Jiang and was highly capable, having handled many high-profile cases, earning her a significant reputation in her circle.
However, this Lawyer Jiang took on cases on a whim. Some cases, despite being offered substantial sums, she would decline, while others with little to no compensation, she would take up voluntarily. It was utterly unpredictable.
After learning that the appointed lawyer was this particular individual, Ye Chengxing wasn't sure if she would take on Li Jia's case.
Surprisingly, after a brief conversation and reviewing the contract documents and audio recordings, the capricious Lawyer Jiang confidently accepted the case.
It went so smoothly that Ye Chengxing couldn't believe it.
Observing the deep expression in Jiang Lubi's eyes, Ye Chengxing vaguely understood the standard of her whimsicality—it was guided by conscience.
Because everything progressed swiftly and smoothly, the consultation ended earlier than Ye Chengxing had anticipated.
Exiting the law firm, she took a deep breath and exhaled, feeling a lightness in her body.
Ye Chengxing stretched her neck and shoulders, then checked her phone for the time. Upon opening it, she noticed an unread message from Li Jia, informing her that the afternoon tutoring session had concluded and that she was planning to pick out some books and exam materials.
Ye Chengxing noticed the timestamp, realizing the message was sent about ten minutes ago.
She thought to herself, "I've been remiss; how could I forget about this?"
Ye Chengxing typed: "I was busy and didn't check my phone just now. Have you left already? Where are you? Wait there, I'll come pick you up."
After sending the message, Ye Chengxing paused for two seconds, feeling like she had forgotten something. She opened Li Jia's contact page again.
The layout and functions of the phone in this world were different from what Ye Chengxing was used to, but eventually, she found the transfer function. After inputting a series of numbers, she selected the "No recipient confirmation needed" option and transferred the money.
With Li Jia not responding yet, Ye Chengxing decided to wait in the car until she heard back.
Unbeknownst to Ye Chengxing, shortly after she left, Li Jia also entered the same law firm.
Wearing a hat and mask, the Omega concealed her gaze under the brim.
The advantage of starting over was immense, allowing her to prepare for many things in advance.
The lawyer she had arranged to meet today also surnamed Jiang, had a notable reputation in her previous life, not only for her professional skills but also for her integrity and unwavering sense of justice—making her the best choice for Li Jia's legal battle.
After all... If Li Jia wanted to terminate her contract with Star Flash Entertainment, other lawyers might not guarantee success, but given Jiang Lubi's character, she would definitely take the case and fight hard.
At that moment, Li Jia's phone beeped as she saw Ye Chengxing's reply. Her gaze paused momentarily upon reading "I'll come pick you up" and seeing the unusually large amount of the transfer.
However, she closed the screen without showing any emotion.
Since she wasn't really here to buy books or exams, she decided to wait until after the meeting to respond.
Putting away her phone, Li Jia entered Jiang Lubi's office.
After a brief exchange, Jiang Lubi looked at her with a slightly perplexed expression.
"You're Li Jia?"
Hearing this question, Li Jia furrowed her brows slightly. Lawyer Jiang shouldn't know her. Before she could speak, Jiang Lubi continued, "Your sister just met with me about this case."
The words froze on Li Jia's lips as she lifted her eyes, stunned. "You said my sister came... It was Ye Chengxing?"
"Yes, just a few minutes ago," Jiang Lubi replied.
After Jiang Lubi said this, Li Jia didn't hear anything else clearly. She calmly made an excuse to leave the law firm, but inside, she was overwhelmed.
Her mind echoed with those words:
"Your sister just met with me about this case."
