"Help me? Those two words coming out of your mouth make me sick!" said Ling Yiran.
The people around them were professional lawyers, not idiots. How could they not sense something when they heard this? Immediately, the way they looked at Guan Lili changed. It was certain that Guan Lili's reputation was ruined.
Guan Lili had wanted to embarrass Ling Yiran today so that she could vent her mortified feelings after meeting Ling Yiran during her medical examination at the hospital.
Who would have thought that the person being embarrassed now was herself?
At once, without thinking, she picked up a cup of tea in front of her and threw it at Ling Yiran.
Ling Yiran managed to avoid getting splashed on her face as she already had her defenses up and stepped back in time, but the upper half of her clothes was not spared.
As the weather was hot, Ling Yiran wore nothing more than a white shirt. It was now wet from the tea and her undergarment beneath was visible.
Guan Lili's colleagues did not expect her to do that all of a sudden. Some of them let out an immediate exclamation.
While Ling Yiran made a conscious effort to cover her chest, a thin suit jacket covered her body in the next moment.
"Put it on!" A voice rang in her ear.
Ling Yiran was stunned. This voice was... She turned her head, and the indifferent, delicate face caught her eye.
It was Gu Lichen!
There was even a sharp glimmer in his phoenix eyes.
Guan Lili's face went red. "It's... It's..." She wanted to insist that she was careless, but the words seemed stuck in her throat as she looked into his cold phoenix eyes.
The boss looked around, then asked the others, "Tell me, what's going on?"
A colleague, who was also in the general room and had joined the firm around the same time as Ling Yiran, gave a rough account of what happened.
At the mention of Guan Lili asking Ling Yiran to give details of her case to the rookies, Gu Lichen's eyes flickered slightly. His eyes turned to Ling Yiran's slightly pale cheeks.
She stood a little awkwardly while draped in his suit. Her pale face and even her lips looked a little bloodless, making her almond-shaped eyes appear startlingly black in comparison.
