From Sidekick to Bigshot

Upon hearing this, the lawyer replied: “Your company has been selling jewelry pieces to the general public. However, you’re selling designs that have already been used by another company. There are records of this.”

After saying that, the lawyer opened a file bag and took out a document. In the document, the company that was filing a lawsuit had already designed the jewelry pieces many days ago. The designs had been uploaded onto the Internet. These designs were identical to the ones Wen Ruo and Cai Qinyue sold in the past two days.

Upon seeing this, Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue were in disbelief. They refused to believe in the so-called evidence in front of them.

And thus, Cai Qinyue said: “Are you jealous of my daughter? You’re intentionally setting her up? You can forge this so-called evidence!”

Wen Cheng said: “Yeah, this is impossible! It’s absolutely impossible! There must be some misunderstanding here!”

“Well, if she’s being set up, then you can discuss it when the trial starts,” the lawyer said expressionlessly.

Cai Qinyue was furious as she yelled: “Just wait! Once the court declares that my daughter is innocent, I’m going to sue you for slander and defamation!”

Then, Cai Qinyue drove the lawyer out of her house.

Both Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue were filled with anger.

In the evening, when Wen Ruo returned home from work, she saw her parents sitting in the living room. They had serious expressions on their faces.

“Father, mother, what happened?”

“Wen Ruo, you’re finally home,” Cai Qinyue said as she got up from the sofa. “Do you know what happened today? We received a letter from the court. In addition, a lawyer came to our house. He wants to sue our company. Apparently, he claims that we stole their designs.”

“What?” Wen Ruo said. Upon hearing Cai Qinyue’s words, Wen Ruo instinctively tensed up.

How could this happen?

Could it be…

No, it’s impossible. Those designs were from thirty years ago. It was impossible for anyone to know about them.

Even if it was Wen Nuan, she would not have any evidence in her hands.

As she thought about this, Wen Ruo relaxed again.

“Mother, is there some mistake in here?” Wen Ruo asked.

“Yes, there’s definitely a mistake! Someone is probably jealous of you! They’re setting you up!”

“Mother, take it easy. Someone is just probably trying to set me up. Let me take a look at the letter from the court.”

Cai Qinyue handed the letter over to Wen Ruo.

Once Wen Ruo took a look at the letter, she said: “This jewelry company isn’t even well known. Are they trying to scam us or something?”

Upon hearing this, Wen Cheng angrily slapped the table: “I’d say so! How dare they! Don’t worry, I will hire the best lawyer for you. I will not let you be wrongly accused!”

Cai Qinyue also reassured Wen Ruo: “Don’t worry. Your father and I will protect you! We won’t let anyone bully you.”

Wen Ruo:” Father, mother, thank you.”

Then, Wen Cheng said to Wen Ruo: “As of now, we need to find problems in their evidence. If we find those things, we can prove your innocence.”

“Okay, I will go and check their so-called evidence first.”

And thus, Wen Ruo went online to look through sources. To her horror, she discovered that the other company had indeed released similar or identical jewelry pieces more than a week ago.

If the finished product came out a week ago, then the design would have been created even earlier than that.

How could that be?

The designs clearly belonged to…

Wen Ruo’s face gradually turned from red to white. Her original composure and calmness dissipated.

Wen Cheng asked with concern: “How are you going? Did you find anything?”

However, the expression on Wen Ruo’s face was incredibly ugly.

Upon seeing this, Cai Qinyue said: “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything? It’s okay if you didn’t manage to find anything. We will go and hire someone to help you.”
