Ning Lang smiled slightly and explained, "The first floor sells herbal tea, and the second floor serves as staff dormitories."
"Fine!" Yuan Heng waved his hand dismissively. "We're practically family, why would we need to rent?"
Ning Lang nodded calmly and said, "Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly."
The man chuckled wickedly, "You can cover all three meals a day, and the cost of the meals will offset the rent. How about that?"
“No way,” Ning Lang said. “One thing is one thing, two things are two things. I can’t let you suffer, and you can’t take advantage of me. No matter how good our relationship is, we should still keep things clear.”
The prices of the food at her restaurant varied, while his apartment building was close to the city center, a prime location where every inch of land was precious, and the rent was definitely not low.
Whether she or he benefited, she didn't want the money to be unclear.
"Okay." Yuan Heng pouted and muttered, "Luckily, it's not like we just met, or I would have thought you were going to cut ties with your best friend!"
"How could that be!" Ning Lang mimicked his tone, "Are we family?"
Yuan Heng laughed heartily.
Ning Lang couldn't help but remind her, "You need to hurry up and go for your follow-up appointment with Dean Shan these next couple of days. She's probably waiting for you every day."
Forehead?!
Yuan Heng immediately stopped smiling, and the topic was changed very abruptly.
"I've been very busy these past few days. Oh! We've arrived at the vehicle management center! There are a lot of cars here, so please get out and wait for me inside. I'll come find you after I park."
Ning Lang glanced at him with amusement and said, "I'll go to the hospital with you."
Yuan Heng sighed, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and seemed to have finally made the most difficult decision.
"……All right."
Ning Lang patted his shoulder and squeezed it hard.
Yuan Heng understood her encouragement, forced a wry smile, and then buried his head in his hands.
...
After finishing with the license plate matter, Ning Lang went straight to the law firm.
Her lawyer, Liu Yingying, was already waiting on the first floor, busy with two assistants packing up materials.
Ning Lang smiled and nodded: "Hello, Sister Ying."
Liu Yingying hurriedly handed the materials in her hand to her assistant and warmly greeted them.
"Ah Lang, we've been waiting for you! Come, come, sit down and let's chat. Xiao Chen, two cups of tea! Quickly!"
The two had studied in country N together and met at a hometown association.
Liu Yingying was not particularly attractive; she was tall and thin, with a strong, assertive presence. She was eight years older than Ning Lang and majored in law.
Ning Lang chuckled: "Sister Ying, no need to trouble yourself. I wonder if you have a chance of winning the case I told you about last night?"
Knowing that she was a very decisive person, Liu Yingying quickly picked up the file folder next to her.
"After I answered your call, I immediately started investigating the information. I think we have a good chance of winning because Mr. Sheng's recorded will specifically stated that the 'Sheng Mansion' was a gift to you. Are you sure the original words in the recording were 'gift' and not 'inheritance'?"
“I’ve heard it once, it is indeed ‘sending’,” Ning Lang nodded.
Liu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and took the tea from her assistant, handing it to Ning Lang.
“Your memory is excellent. If you’re sure it was a ‘gift,’ then it must be a gift. In that case, our chances of winning are secured. At that time, you were still married. If it was to be inherited by you, Sheng Xuan, as your legal husband, would be considered marital property. According to the laws of our country Z, if the donor specifies that the gift is only given to one spouse, then it is considered the property of that spouse.”
Ning Lang nodded and said, "Then please handle this case as quickly as possible."
"Just ask, and I'll do my best!" Liu Yingying said.
Ning Lang stood up gracefully and said in a gentle voice, "Sister Ying, we'll keep in touch. Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't mention it!" Liu Yingying said warmly with a smile, "I'll take you there."
The two chatted as they walked out.
Liu Yingying lowered her voice: "I will try to keep this case low-key..."
“No need.” Ning Lang smiled slightly. “Divorced women are legally fighting for their rightful interests. There’s nothing to hide. They should do what they’re supposed to do.”
Liu Yingying stared in surprise.
Ning Lang waved her hand, her tall and elegant figure turned to the side, and quickly left.
