046
The second major case Jiang Yujin has handled since starting his career is about Lu's Pharmaceutical Group being falsely accused of selling counterfeit drugs.
His only son was familiar with him, and An Shi's father specially entrusted him with the task. He won the battle, which further enhanced his reputation in the industry.
Jiang Yujin has a clean background, but he lacks an opportunity to make a name for himself and do someone a favor.
Jiang Yujin called to confirm.
"Brother Jiang, I've been scammed by a pig butchering scam! Help!" Tong Luanshi cried out as soon as the call was answered, seemingly unaware of the trouble at home. He was very distressed about the current situation.
The business trip his family sent him on was a complete scam, a blind date arranged by his family.
The omega he went on a blind date with was the team leader's twin sister, and the twins even had remarkably similar pheromones.
Lu Anshi even suspected that they were taking turns working to torment him, a poor, lowly office worker.
"Weren't you on a business trip with the stunning female team leader out of town?" Lu Anshi's phone call came as a surprise after a month apart.
Lu Anshi's head was throbbing with pain. Although he was a beta, he was rich and loved to have fun. He had seen countless betas and omegas, and this was the first time he had misjudged someone. "What? She's not an omega! I've been with the team for so long and I only just realized that the team leader is an alpha. Brother Jiang, let me tell you, she has such a gentle and kind appearance. If I hadn't run into her... Ouch, that hurts so much. I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I'll wait for me to come back."
Lu Anshi over there must have run into someone, because the phone suddenly went dead.
Jiang Yujin and the people from the Lu family had arranged to meet in the afternoon to meet and sign the contract.
After talking for two hours, it was four o'clock when they left the Lu family's place. Thinking about the cat, Jiang Yujin drove back to Liang Dongmo's apartment.
Liang Dongmo didn't get back until 5 o'clock, which took about an hour.
"Where did you go this afternoon?" Liang Dongmo frowned. "I went to the law firm to look for you, but you weren't there. I asked the receptionist and they said you left a long time ago." He didn't even call or leave a message, making her happily go to the law firm after get off work only to find him empty-handed.
After that incident, she never installed any more surveillance cameras, and was often anxious because she didn't know Jiang Yujin's whereabouts.
When Liang Dongmo returned, he saw Jiang Yujin playing with the cat, oblivious to everything else, being incredibly affectionate. Seeing this, Liang Dongmo regretted continuing to keep that fat cat.
It's heartless of them to be comfortable without trying to please the person who spent the money.
"I came back early after get off work. I left early today because I signed a new contract this afternoon. I'll be very busy afterward." The cat in his arms loved Jiang Yujin's petting and ignored its other owner, who preferred to give him the silent treatment.
"Oh." Liang Dongmo wasn't surprised by the answer at all. It was already very good that Jiang Yujin remembered to come back after being busy for a month. But she got carried away and insisted on competing with the cat, so she sat down next to Jiang Yujin and asked, "Xiaojin, is there anything different about me today compared to usual?"
"You're wearing the perfume I gave you." Upon closer inspection, one could tell that Jiang Yujin's birthday gift to Liang Dongmo was a custom-made perfume, similar in scent to her pheromones.
The sofa the two were sitting on sank slightly, and a few cat hairs stuck to his clothes. Liang Dongmo, with his sharp eyes, picked them off and threw them into the trash can.
"Don't hug the cat, you'll get itchy from all the cat hair." She doesn't shed, but the cat does, so why does Jiang Yujin prefer the cat?
"It's okay, shedding is normal at Christmas, isn't it?" Jiang Yujin hugged the cat, freeing one hand to play on his phone. He'd recently become obsessed with the WeChat game "Jump Jump." He could only play for a short time at a time, controlling a piece to jump onto different shaped objects. Jumping to the center added two points, and consecutive jumps to the center added up to twelve. Staying on special objects for a few more seconds added twenty or thirty points. He always died if he wasn't careful; he had to be completely focused. He used his free time to play to pass the time. Jiang Yujin's highest score was 302, refreshed every Monday, and there weren't many people playing on his list.
Jiang Yujin jumped a few times and died again. He said irritably, "Why did you touch me?" As soon as Liang Dongmo moved his hand, the jumping chess piece did not land safely on the next object and twisted and fell down.
Liang Dongmo did it on purpose, didn't he? He's starting all over again.
Jiang Yujin was so engrossed in playing on his phone that Liang Dongmo couldn't help but say sarcastically, "You use me and then ignore me. I've done so many favors for you outside, how am I going to pay them all back?" Getting favors involves many connections, and owing favors is easy. Money is easy to repay, but favors are not so easy to repay.
"Where do you get so many favors?" In Jiang Yujin's memory, Liang Dongmo was just someone with a little money who owned a company. "My law firm needs your share of the profits." It was indeed hard work for him to investigate the evidence.
Liang Dongmo is secretive and not as innocent and harmless as he appears on the surface. He knew this three years ago.
“Attorney Jiang, I’m just doing your job. It’s one thing to be unpaid and without any official status, but you insisted on giving me the firm’s profit share. I’m doing this willingly, yet you still treat me with such coldness. How unfair is that?” Liang Dongmo didn’t care about the small profit share from his firm. Once it entered his account, it was like a drop of water in a vast ocean. He couldn’t even see that little bit of money.
Jiang Yujin couldn't understand what Liang Dongmo was up to, calling him by his full name and "Attorney Jiang" all at once.
"What are you doing, Liang Dongmo?" Jiang Yujin's phone was taken from his hand, and Liang Dongmo seemed to have magically hidden it somewhere.
"You've been so busy playing on your phone that you haven't even given me a proper look since I got back." Liang Dongmo stood there, practically dried out from the heat.
"You tricked me into coming here for a week during the Chinese New Year, and you have the nerve to say I don't care about you?" Jiang Yujin didn't throw a tantrum over this, but Liang Dongmo indirectly implied that he had neglected her.
During the Chinese New Year, Liang Dongmo was in his susceptible period, and Jiang Yujin stayed home for a whole week, so much so that not a single part of her body was visible to the public. After her susceptible period ended, she went out wrapped up tightly and rested at home for a week before returning to work at the law firm.
I need to make time to visit the graves next month, and I also need to go back to Fengtian Town. I'm too busy to go back.
“I just thought, a month has passed, where are there so many cases to take on? Take a few more days off and spend time with me, and give your law firm a break too.”
Liang Dongmo could easily tell him to shut down his business without even trying; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Someone called; the sound came from under his feet. The phone was still vibrating. Jiang Yujin reached under the sofa and sure enough, the phone was there.
"What are you doing hiding your phone underneath? Liang Dongmo, my people need to eat, I'm their boss, and I can't pay their wages—" You're going to support me?
Jiang Yujin swallowed the second half of his sentence. He decided it was better to let Liang Dongmo support him than to rely on him. Earning his own money was far better; his previous thinking was too naive. He wanted to live off others, and even if things got tough, he had Liang Dongmo, his parents, and his brothers. He didn't want to work hard. While abroad, Xie Rongyu gave him a fixed allowance, which he initially spent lavishly and quickly ran out of. Not wanting to tell Xie Rongyu, he took part-time jobs near the school until late, lying that he was out with classmates. He only started working for Liu Jiaren after passing the certification exam, sitting and listening in.
"If you stay here instead of leaving, I'll pay their salaries."
Liang Dongmo doesn't lack this money.
Her words made it sound as if Jiang Yujin had sold himself to Liang Dongmo.
"Then forget it." What's the point of Jiang Yujin being just a pretty face? "From now on, don't worry about my law firm's affairs. I won't find it troublesome anymore; I'll investigate myself."
I won't let you owe anyone favors anymore.
"I didn't say I wouldn't help you, I just don't like you being out in public." You go out in public every day dressed properly to go to work, but when you come back, you're covered in other people's pheromones.
Liang Dongmo couldn't bear to let Jiang Yujin investigate, as it would increase her workload and mean she wouldn't see him for several more months, which was not what she wanted.
A lawyer should investigate the truth of the matter himself, verify whether the client's words are true, and conduct his own investigation before submitting the evidence to the court.
"Mind your own business." As the argument continued, Jiang Yujin's voice softened, and drowsiness overcame him, making it hard to keep his eyes open. "I want to stay the night."
I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep.
Liang Dongmo brought him pajamas. "Go take a shower before you sleep. Put your dirty clothes in the washing machine. I bought you some new ones in the closet. Wear those tomorrow."
The woman hugged the drowsy Jiang Yujin and gently shooed the cat off his arms. "Don't fall asleep here. Aren't you going to take a bath?"
Liang Dongmo pinched his face hard, and Jiang Yujin became a little more awake. Before he could react, he lost his footing and let Liang Dongmo pick him up and carry him around the mischievous cat to the bathroom.
When Jiang Yujin came into contact with the hot water, he was fully awake. He was lying naked in the bathtub, with a layer of white bubbles on the surface of the water, which covered the view below.
Liang Dongmo stared at him intently from the edge of the bathtub, without the slightest embarrassment.
Whether it was because the water was too hot or because of Jiang Yujin himself, he felt his face burning. He rarely felt sober enough to face Liang Dongmo like this, even though they had already had many firsts together.
"I've seen it, I can wash it myself, get out." The words came out with a hint of anger and embarrassment.
Jiang Yujin still can't stand having someone next to her when she takes a shower, no matter how many times it has happened.
The omega smelled the alpha's pheromones, and after speaking, buried her face under the bubble, only revealing a pair of resentful eyes.
It would be best if it could be blocked.
Using pheromones to delay things is absolutely unacceptable; I have something to do tomorrow.
This caught Liang Dongmo's eye.
She helped me take off my clothes. I have very fair skin. I sat down in the bathtub with my legs bent, and fine foam was being rubbed into my hair.
Very well-behaved, very cute.
Liang Dongmo knew, of course, that Jiang Yujin was thin-skinned and that if he teased her any further, she would ignore him for days.
"Call me when you're done washing, don't soak for too long. I'll only give you 20 minutes, if you're not out by then I'll come in and help you wash."
Jiang Yujin likes to take baths, and sometimes he forgets the time and falls asleep in the bathtub. Liang Dongmo is afraid that he will faint if he soaks in the bathroom for too long.
After Liang Dongmo left, Jiang Yujin felt relieved enough to take a bath. The water from the bathtub splashed onto the bathroom floor, making it slippery. Jiang Yujin quickly dried herself off, put on her pajamas, and left the bathroom.
"I'll dry my hair myself, you go take a shower." Stopping Liang Dongmo from taking any further action, he picked up the hairdryer and dried his hair himself.
