The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.
Chapter 89 Obtaining the Will
"Hello, Attorney Zhuo."
Jiang Nan greeted Zhuo Yu with a smile.
Zhuo Yu raised his eyelids and his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Nan's cold and beautiful face.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, my surname is Jiang."
Jiang Nan reached out his hand to him.
Zhuo Yu was dressed in a suit and tie, with his hair neatly slicked back and wearing silver-rimmed glasses.
Although she is over forty years old, she looks gentle and elegant.
The woman opposite me was a mature woman in her early thirties.
Big waves, bright red lips.
He seemed confident, but also looked at Jiang Nan with a scrutinizing hostility.
"How come Attorney Zhuo has so many female admirers? He just goes out for a meal and he runs into so many beautiful women."
"That's what the woman with the big waves said sarcastically."
Jiang Nan smiled politely at her, "Madam, you've misunderstood. I have a case I'd like to ask Attorney Zhuo for help with."
"Attorney Zhuo was just too busy and we couldn't make an appointment. I didn't expect to run into him here."
Jiang Nan's words prompted Zhuo Yu to respond naturally, "I see. I'm sorry, this is my private time. If Miss Jiang doesn't mind, could we exchange contact information?"
Jiang Nan curled the corners of his lips, leaned closer, and lowered his voice to say, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient, otherwise the evidence that Attorney Zhuo interfered with witnesses and won that murder case will be exposed."
Zhuo Yu's expression changed drastically.
Jiang Nan straightened up, her bright smile still playing on her red lips. "Attorney Zhuo, can we talk now?"
Zhuo Yu suppressed his anger, apologized to his female companion, and walked out with Jiang Nan.
"You're threatening me?"
Upon emerging, Zhuo Yu's face was filled with barely concealed anger.
"Who are you? What do you want? Who sent you?"
Zhuo Yu's vigilance only boosted Jiang Nan's confidence.
The more afraid he became.
The greater the chance of the representative getting the will back.
"Don't worry, Lawyer Zhuo, I'm just here to make a deal with you."
Jiang Nan stared intently at him, continuing to observe and probe.
In less than two months, it will be her wedding with Xiao Ziqian.
If you can get the will before then.
That way, she'll have more security when she proposes annulment.
In addition to the DNA test results.
As long as Xiao Beixun acknowledges the child in her womb, she will gain status through the child.
Her plan has a greater chance of success.
Zhuo Yu narrowed his wary eyes. "What kind of deal?"
Jiang Nan clenched her fist and stared into his eyes for a few seconds.
I'm going all in.
"I want the will that Wen Ziyuan made with you fourteen years ago."
Wen Ziyuan.
Her mother's name.
Fourteen years ago, she and her father were a well-known medical professor couple.
Especially the achievements in drugs specifically for rare diseases.
It was a glorious achievement created by both parents.
Zhuo Yu's pupils dilated in shock: "You, you are!"
He was shocked. "You just said your surname is Jiang...you're Jiang Nan?"
Zhuo Yu knew Jiang Nan.
But he didn't know what Jiang Nan looked like.
I tried to find her five years ago, but failed...
A flicker of excitement crossed Jiang Nan's eyes; he really did recognize him.
"That's right."
Now that things have come to this, she has no way out.
This information is enough to ruin Zhuo Yu's career and all the glory he has built over the years.
She bet that Zhuo Yu would be afraid.
Zhuo Yu narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint in them. "The fact that Miss Jiang came to see me means that President Wen is unaware of this matter?"
Jiang Nan was startled, but maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
"Lawyer Zhuo should be a smart man. If you have things you don't want others to know, then naturally I do too."
Zhuo Yu smiled knowingly. "It seems Miss Jiang knows quite a bit, but if President Wen finds out and displeases him, it won't do you any good, will it?"
Since things have come to this point...
There's no point in Jiang Nan pretending anymore.
She remained calm, her cold gaze fixed on him. "Lawyer Zhuo only needs to consider whether he still wants the glory he has now."
"Whether you want to continue to go along with the corrupt practices, or... let everything be destroyed, the choice is yours."
Zhuo Yu's expression turned angry. "Are you threatening me?"
No wonder he's a top-notch lawyer who handles lawsuits year after year.
His aura was calm and unhurried.
Just looking into Jiang Nan's eyes made her feel uneasy.
But she had no way out.
Once you become afraid, you're headed for death.
Having reached this point, she could only keep pushing forward.
Jiang Nan calmed himself down, a smile playing on his lips as he reiterated, "Attorney Zhuo is overthinking it. It's just a deal with you."
"I believe Attorney Zhuo is a smart man. He must have considered who he should leave his will to, and who would benefit him the most."
Jiang Nan took a step closer.
His eyes were sharp and cold, showing no trace of the naivety of a recent college graduate; instead, they exuded an aura of composure.
"If we reach an agreement, the current cooperation will continue as before, and I will forgive and forget about past transgressions, how about it?"
Zhuo Yu's expression changed slightly.
She lowered her head, pushed up her glasses, and smiled, "Truly worthy of being the Jiang family's heirloom, you certainly have the spirit of your parents."
"But no matter how well you put it, I need time to consider it."
"one day!"
"I hope to hear Zhuo Lu's reply by this time tomorrow," Jiang Nan said with a determined look in his eyes.
Zhuo Yu looked at her intently for a few moments.
Coming to her senses, she realized that Jiang Nan was quite courageous.
"OK."
He twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around, and entered the restaurant.
The next second, his face darkened.
pity……
He's overestimating himself!
Jiang Nan didn't know how she got back to the car.
Sitting in the passenger seat, she felt her heart pounding so hard it was about to jump out of her chest.
She picked up the soda water on the control panel and could feel her hands trembling slightly.
He drank several large gulps of water in a row.
Jiang Nan finally calmed down.
I wouldn't say I'm afraid.
This was the first time I'd ever encountered this kind of negotiation, and I was dealing with a seasoned lawyer no less.
I'm afraid the talks will fall apart.
Zhuo Yu, that old fox, is not so easy to deal with.
Jiang Nan then called Qin Huan, "Keep an eye on Zhuo Yu's every move. If he meets with Wen Jizong, be sure to tell me immediately."
Coming to see Zhuo Yu was inherently a risky undertaking.
If negotiations fail.
Then, all the pretense during this period will be destroyed, and you will be exposed to the light of day.
The Wen family, those cold-blooded beasts, might just kill her that very night.
"Old Jiang, you've revealed your hand?"
"Um."
There was a brief silence on Qin Huan's end.
"Okay, I've bribed the people around him. They'll tell me everything they do, so don't worry."
Jiang Nan took a deep breath. "Thank you."
So...
I'll wait until tomorrow!
Zhuo Yu returned to the restaurant.
He didn't stay with his female companion for long before leaving the restaurant and quickly heading to a club.
Along the way, a black luxury Rolls-Royce followed his car the whole time.
Rock, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to ask the distinguished figure in the back:
"Third Master, this Zhuo Yu is ruthless and capable of anything. What are we doing following him?"
"Rock, you're talking too much nonsense now."
Xiao Beixun's sharp gaze swept over them.
Rock was startled and immediately fell silent.
Third Master was gloomy and indifferent to everything.
People outside say that Third Master is cold and aloof.
Over the years, all Luo Ke had ever seen was his tenderness and patience towards Ji Yishu, whom he had raised.
Besides.
It seems to be Jiang Nan, who appeared in the last two months...
On the way, Zhuo Yu called Wen Jizong, "President Wen, there's been a problem here, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
Wen Jizong was puzzled.
You could tell that Zhuo Yu's tone was off.
Zhuo Yu's face darkened. "It's hard to explain over the phone about your sister's will. I'll wait for you at the usual place."
Wen Jizong's expression changed drastically.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately left the chairman's office and headed to the clubhouse.
Zhuo Yu sat inside the private room.
Holding a glass of red wine, he glanced at his watch every now and then.
He looked restless and suddenly gulped down a mouthful of red wine.
He thought Wen Jizong was too slow, so he took out his phone to call and urge him on.
Bang!
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure walked in from outside.
Backlit, it's impossible to see what they look like.
Yet the aura emanating from him sent a chill down his spine, and a sense of familiarity arose in his heart.
It immediately reminded him of someone—
Xiao Beixun?
Zhuo Yu stared blankly as the figure approached him, his usually confident and composed face now widening involuntarily.
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhuo Yu was filled with astonishment. "Third...Third Master..."
Jiang Nan saw that it was still early, so he went back to the company to get the documents.
After taking it, she prepared to go downstairs.
But Xiao Ziqian suddenly appeared and blocked him at the office door.
"Nan Nan, are you deliberately avoiding me now?"
Xiao Ziqian looked at her with a hurt expression, "You're not answering your phone or replying to WeChat messages. Nan Nan, I'm very worried about you right now."
Jiang Nan took two steps back to create some distance between them.
"I'm just spending more time at work now, and I'm not clinging to you anymore, and you can't stand it?"
She curled her lips into a faint, mocking smile. "Before, when I was idle and did nothing, and asked you to keep me company, didn't you tell me that work was important and asked me to understand?"
"What, now you can't understand me anymore?"
Jiang Nan glanced at him indifferently, her eyes filled with a coldness.
Xiao Ziqian was speechless, unable to respond.
He frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Girls don't need to work too hard. Besides, you just need to be a good young lady, and I'll do the hard work."
"Seeing you working so hard now breaks my heart, really, Nan Nan."
Xiao Ziqian reached out, wanting to pull her.
Her face was full of heartache and tenderness, just like when she didn't know the truth.
Gentle and elegant, considerate and caring.
Jiang Nan quickly stepped back to avoid his touch.
A fleeting look of disgust crossed his face. "Xiao Ziqian, I don't want to be a piece of trash."
Xiao Ziqian was taken aback.
He had just seen Jiang Nan seem to dislike him, but when he looked again...
Jiang Nan before me remained aloof and elegant, as proud and haughty as ever.
He's been so busy lately, his eyesight is failing him.
"Nan Nan, I just feel sorry for you..."
Xiao Ziqian was about to say something when he was interrupted by a phone ringing.
It was Qin Huan calling.
When Jiang Nan saw the incoming call, it was like seeing a lifeline.
"I promised to go back and have dinner with Qin Huan, so I'm leaving now."
Jiang Nan made an excuse, answered the call, and immediately left without waiting for him.
Xiao Ziqian watched her retreating figure, feeling inexplicably uneasy, as if he were losing something important...
Jiang Nan entered the elevator.
At the same time, Qin Huan's anxious voice came, "It's bad, Nan Nan! Zhuo Yu just finished meeting with you and immediately went to find Wen Jizong. It's estimated that your investigation of the will has been exposed."
Qin Huan's voice was like a thunderclap.
Jiang Nan's face turned deathly pale, and he fell into a deathly silence.
"Nan Nan, are you alright?"
Qin Huan asked worriedly, then said, "I bribed Zhuo Yu's assistant. We can still make it there in time."
"Should we go?"
Jiang Nan clenched her fists so tightly that her nails seemed to dig into her palms, and the pain made her barely able to keep her calm.
She took a deep breath to finally steady herself and said in a hoarse voice, "Go!"
in case……
Zhuo Yu told Wen Jizong what had happened that day.
She wouldn't mind coming clean.
A fight to the death!
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the club."
Qin Huan hung up the phone.
Jiang Nan tried his best to remain calm. After getting his car, he sped straight to the club.
"Nan Nan..."
When Qin Huan saw her approaching, he immediately went to greet her, "Wen Jizong hasn't arrived yet, and Zhuo Yu is still upstairs. Let's go up."
Jiang Nan frowned in confusion.
It's been so long and it still hasn't arrived?
But she couldn't care less about that.
Jiang Nan and Qin Huan immediately entered the club and headed straight for the VIP room.
The two came to the door and looked at each other.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything as you instructed. Call the police immediately if anything happens, and I'll also send Zhuo Yu's incriminating evidence to the police," Qin Huan encouraged.
Jiang Nan nodded, raised his hands, pushed open the door to the private room, and walked inside.
Qin Huan followed beside her.
The two went inside together.
When Jiang Nan saw the man's noble and tall figure inside, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly.
What is he doing here?
