Chapter 10 "Actually, it's not that close."
One second after she clicked the like button, Fu Jinnian immediately sent an invitation for a video call, which scared Wen Yu.
She pressed the hang-up button in a panic.
Although Wen Yu didn't know why she felt guilty.
Then, she decisively deleted the post on her Moments.
Just when she thought the matter was over, a call came from an unfamiliar number. Wen Yu answered the call without thinking much.
A voice as mellow as wine floated into her ears, "Hello, why don't you answer the phone?"
Wen Yu:......
"Who are you...?"
Wen Yu tried to pretend to faint, but she didn't expect the man on the other end of the phone to not give her a chance.
"Why, did anyone else video call you just now?"
Wen Yu was silent for a while, then smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Fu, it turned out to be you just now. I didn't give you any notes."
The other end chuckled slowly, "Okay, hanging up, connecting to the video."
Wen Yu was a little confused. Why did Fu Jinnian insist on video calling her?
In her mind, his image of self-discipline and propriety was slightly discounted.
Even if they knew each other before, it would be a bit abrupt to make a video call.
One minute after the call was disconnected, the man called again requesting a video call. Wen Yu silently clicked the answer button, but turned off her own camera.
The man's cold and handsome face appeared on the screen, and she was so scared that she quickly moved the phone away.
Maybe it was night time, Fu Jinnian was not wearing glasses, his deep eyes were fixed on the screen, as if he could see into people's hearts.
Wen Yu's heartbeat was pounding, and she called out dryly, "Master Fu."
"Well," the man said, his expression calm and emotionless. "Need a lawyer? I can recommend one to you."
"I turned on the video because my lawyer was right next to me."
Everything makes so much sense.
Wen Yu felt annoyed at her pettiness because another smiling face soon appeared on the screen.
"Hi, hello, I'm a partner at Keying Law Firm, my last name is Fei."
Fu Jinnian added calmly, "You can call him Fei Lu or Fei Fei."
"Get lost! Try calling baboon again."
Fu Jin scoffed, "Why are you so anxious? Don't you think it's kind to hear me call you by your name?"
Wen Yu looked at the man who she thought was aloof and taciturn. Now he was joking with his friends and seemed to have a little more life in him.
Changing people's names randomly is Fu Jinnian's personal hobby.
Because calling her Wenwen sounded unpleasant, Fu Jinnian changed her name to Nuannuan, which means warm nuan.
She smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Lawyer Fei, I have an infringement case that I'd like to consult you about."
In just one minute while the two of them were arguing, Wen Yu had already found out all the information about Fei Mingze, one of the partners of Keying Law Firm.
Lawyer Fei has a 100% winning rate in lawsuits. His resume is so dazzling that Wen Yu subconsciously wants to grasp this connection.
Fei Mingze immediately put away his aggressive behavior and cleared his throat: "Ms. Wen, please speak."
Wen Yu pursed her lips and said, "Lawyer Fei, three months ago, I used my spare time to apply for a personal patent. I wanted to give it to my fiancé as a dowry."
"But for some reason, we are planning to cancel the engagement. I want to get my dowry back. I wonder if you are confident of winning this lawsuit?"
Fei Mingze looked surprised. "Excuse me, who is your fiancé?"
"Sheng Yu'an of Sheng Group is also Mr. Fu's nephew."
Fei Mingze: ...
Good job!
He turned his head to look at the man off-screen, raised his left eyebrow, and seemed to ask, "Are you sure you want me to take this case?"
Fu Jinnian raised his thin lips lightly, "Well, actually it's not that close."
Wen Yu: “…”
Fei Mingze: “…”
The man shrugged. "Isn't it? Sheng Yu'an is my cousin's child. We're not that close."
Fei Mingze understood that Fu Jinnian wanted to help the girl surnamed Wen to sue his own nephew!
"Ms. Wen, the situation you describe does have potential for prosecution. However, there are a few key points I need to explain. From a patent perspective, it depends on whether you are applying in the name of an organization or an individual. Furthermore, if you used the resources and team of your fiancé's company during the development of the patent, or if you were engaged in research and development solely for your job, these could be considered unit patents."
"If none of the above applies, and your fiancé's company..."
Fu Jinnian suddenly interrupted, "It's my ex-fiancé."
Wen Yu didn't expect Mr. Fu to be so serious. He is indeed her ex-fiancé!
"Well," Fei Mingze suppressed his urge to gossip about Fu Jinnian and continued, "And your ex-fiancé's company used your patent to make a huge profit, so we can sue to protect our rights. Even if that's not feasible, we can still sue to protect our rights by claiming that the dowry and betrothal gifts should be returned after the marriage is broken off."
After listening to the lawyer's introduction, Wen Yu's mood eased a little.
"Lawyer Fei, how long will this lawsuit take? I need money urgently..."
Fei Mingze glanced at the man next to him and said, "The litigation process is not short. We can go through the legal process as soon as possible after meeting at the law firm tomorrow. Because your fiancé's company is a listed company, they may not want to get into a lawsuit. I can mediate with their company on your behalf. The mediation process will be much faster."
Wen Yu thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Lawyer Fei. What's your phone number? Can we add each other on WeChat later? If you have any specific questions, I'd like to discuss them with you in person."
Fei Mingze lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Of course."
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his instep. He grimaced and said, "Fu Jinnian, why did you step on me?"
The man curled his lips lightly, "Oh, sorry, I just stepped on it accidentally."
Fu Jinnian took back his phone and said, "I'll send you his WeChat ID later."
He walked to the balcony, and after taking advantage of someone, he threw Fei Mingze aside.
Fu Jinnian leaned on the terrace, the cool breeze blowing his hair across his forehead. "Nuannuan, do you want to break off your engagement with Sheng Yu'an?"
Wen Yu nodded slightly, "Well, we want to cancel the engagement. Mr. Fu, will you intervene in the case?"
Fu Jinnian's face, which had been gentle just now, suddenly became cold and hard. "Am I the kind of person who helps my relatives but not others?"
Wen Yu didn't know.
They were not familiar with each other and she did not know him well.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for introducing Lawyer Fei to me. I'd also like to ask Mr. Fu to send me Lawyer Fei's WeChat address later."
Wen Yu thanked him politely, and Fu Jin responded with a nod, ending today's video call.
After hanging up, Wen Yu realized that her palms were sweaty.
-
He walked back to the living room with straight long legs.
"Hey," Fei Mingze glanced at the man with a gloomy expression, "What's going on?"
"Are you sure you're asking me to help your niece-in-law sue your own nephew?"
Fu Jinnian frowned impatiently, "Is he the kind of person who is unreasonable and only protects his shortcomings?"
