Chapter 234: You
Slowly stirring the coffee in her cup,
Sister Li Na wore a professional smile,
patiently listened to all of Chen Yiyang's demands,
waited until Chen Yiyang finally grew thirsty from talking and picked up the coffee to drink like water,
then Sister Li Na stopped her motion,
and politely looked at Chen Yiyang and said: "Mr. Chen, I understand your demands largely."
"You want us to help you regain custody of your daughter, is that right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Chen Yiyang nodded: "Also, I want to completely strip my ex-wife Luo Nian of visitation rights—she must never see my daughter again."
"Understood."
Sister Li Na smiled: "I understand your demands. I'll relay them to other lawyers at the firm to see if they're willing to take your case."
"Other lawyers?"
Chen Yiyang frowned: "Why not you handle my case?"
"Mr. Chen."
A flicker of disdain passed through Sister Li Na's eyes,
then she continued politely: "Mr. Chen, I am Luo Bin's administrative assistant, responsible for assisting Luo Bin with administrative and related matters."
"Therefore, I cannot handle your case—because, no, I am not a lawyer."
"Then have Luo Bin handle it!"
"Mr. Chen, I mean no disrespect, but Luo Bin rarely takes on divorce cases, and Luo Bin's consultation fees and personal service charges are quite high."
"So you mean Luo Bin is expensive?"
Chen Yiyang raised an eyebrow: "A bit more expensive doesn't matter—I have money."
"Really?"
Sister Li Na's smile carried a hint of disbelief: "Luo Bin's consultation fee starts at two thousand per hour minimum; personal service fees for a single case start at one hundred thousand."
"Additionally, our law firm charges corresponding administrative service fees, investigation and evidence-gathering fees, and other related costs—I don't know if you can accept that…"
After hearing Sister Li Na's words,
Chen Yiyang couldn't help but inhale sharply in his mind,
I just want custody of my daughter, and the cost is this high?! Minimum one hundred thousand, not even counting consultation fees…
Still,
Chen Yiyang had earned some money over the years,
one hundred thousand, a few hundred thousand,
he could still afford it.
Most importantly,
he had already made bold claims in front of the beautiful assistant Sister Li Na,
so he had to keep up the act,
so,
Chen Yiyang nodded directly: "Fine, money isn't an issue—I want Luo Bin as my lawyer, and I want custody of my daughter."
"Alright then."
Sister Li Na nodded,
then stood up,
smiling and extending her right hand toward Chen Yiyang: "Then please come to our firm next Monday at ten in the morning. I'll introduce you to Luo Bin, and you can discuss the details of cooperation after you meet."
"Alright, thank you."
Chen Yiyang immediately grasped Sister Li Na's hand,
deliberately brushing his fingertip across her knuckles,
then asked with a smile: "Sister Li Na, are you free today? May I invite you to lunch?"
"I'm sorry."
Sister Li Na withdrew her hand, still smiling politely: "I have many tasks today and simply cannot spare the time."
"Then how about we exchange contact information? I'll ask you out when you're free?"
"Still no, Mr. Chen. Our firm has a rule: except for cooperating lawyers, no other staff may exchange private contact information with clients—any violation results in dismissal."

"I don't think you'd want to make things difficult for me, do you?"
"Then… alright."
Chen Yiyang turned away, slightly disappointed,
had taken only a few steps,
then turned back to look at Sister Li Na: "Sister Li Na, see you Monday."
"Alright, bye."
Sister Li Na waved with a smile, watching Chen Yiyang leave,
and only after Chen Yiyang had fully departed the law firm,
did Sister Li Na walk to the front desk and say: "Mr. Chen will return on Monday—appointment at ten a. m., for Luo Bin."
"Understood, Sister Li Na."
The front desk girl quickly made the entry.
Only then did he turn to Sister Li Na and give her a thumbs-up: "Sister Li Na, you're still the best; with just a few words, you managed to calm that person down."
"Oh, they're all guests."
Sister Li Na smiled slightly, yet her gaze held a certain depth of meaning: "Well, they're all men..."
Three cars,
Nine people,
All traveling together along the outer ring road leading out of the Imperial Capital,
Originally,
Song Qian had planned to take the children to visit places like the Mountain Resort,
But who would have known,
That as soon as Song Qian finished saying she wanted to go out for fun,
Qiao Yingzi, Lin Miaomiao, Hearing Sang Zhi, and the others simply went crazy,
Directly vetoing the proposals put forward by Song Qian, Li Ping, Auntie Pei Yin, and the others,
