Ivan is a stalker who got hired by Bowen. Bowen wanted mc gone, Ivan wanted to keep mc to himself= win - win situation for both.
Last we heard about the lawsuit, it was in the process. Qian Mo(the lawyer), seemed to have the advantage in the hearing, so the boss who wanted to scam mc tried to bribe him, but was rejected. I don't remember it being mentioned again, but it's safe to assumr that they already won/are going to win.
The dinner was Qian Mo's apology for being a dick. He went behind MC's back to talk with Bowen and then got pissed and ignored MC for a long time, when MC said that Qian Mo should appreciate Bowen's attention. Qian Mo wanted to win MC back, so he wanted to have a romantic dinner with him. Too bad MC got kidnapped in the meantime ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's not a spoiler if we are discussing current or past storylines. That's what this comment section is for. If you have not read the available story yet on this site, then don't read the comments that are - as common sense dictates - filled with information about the current storyline.
God, do I love people who spoiler themselves and then find someone to blame.
....pages are missing yeah? Who is ivan? Is he really just a rando stalker with no connection to anyone?? What happened with the lawsuit? Did he actually lose? When he said the dinner was payment for his loss? Aagghhh
