Le Kun’s daughter-in-law is Ou Yang Xuan Xuan (Jayley Woo) is being falsely accused of embezzling company funds. To help her out, Le Kun forks out a large amount of his savings to hire a good lawyer and this lawyer turns out to be none other than Wen Jie. Wen Jie manages to win the case but requests a huge amount of payment for his work. To pay for the hefty sum, Le Ning gives up her studying plans and uses her savings to pay off some of the fees.
