Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.
Chapter 1 Oh no, the sugar daddy is my ex-boyfriend!
When Jiang Wan arrived at the private room, the atmosphere was already at its peak.
A group of people were wildly twisting their waists, making a fuss around a man and a woman in the middle.
"kiss!"
"kiss!"
The man had his back to the door, so his face was not visible.
But his straight and well-proportioned back also suggests that he is no ordinary person.
The woman swaying her hips to the music in front of him was a stunning beauty.
She has striking and elegant features, and a shapely figure.
Even Jiang Wan couldn't help but glance at it several times.
She glanced around and found Wang Yiran, who had drunk herself into oblivion, tucked away in the corner of the sofa.
She took out some water from her bag and gave Wang Yiran a few sips.
"Weren't you here to discuss business? How did you get so drunk?"
Wang Yiran opened her sleepy, drunken eyes, saw Jiang Wan, and immediately grabbed her wrist.
"You're here? Did you bring the contract?"
"I brought it, but how can you sign it when you're this drunk?"
Wang Yiran didn't answer. Instead, she took her hand, stood up, pushed through the crowd, and shoved her inside.
"Jiang Wan, look, look who our client is!"
The man in the center of the crowd slowly turned around, and the moment he saw Jiang Wan, his face immediately darkened.
The beautiful woman in his arms also stopped dancing and turned her head to look at him.
"You are... Jiang Wan, right? I've seen you in A Shi's graduation photo."
Lu Jingshi curled his lips in disdain and looked away from Jiang Wan's face.
It's like looking at an object that you find repulsive.
"Who sent her?"
Jiang Wan's heart ached involuntarily.
Unfortunately, Wang Yiran was oblivious and kept rambling on.
"It's me, it's me. Jiang Wan is now a senior partner in our firm. I'm here to deliver the contract to me."
"Jiang Wan, you didn't expect this, did you? The director of the Kairong Law Firm that we want to affiliate with is actually Lu Jingshi! With your old relationship, this should be easy, right? Quick, show us our contract."
Jiang Wan smiled bitterly.
Simple?
In her opinion, if they encountered Lu Jingshi, all the hard work of the entire institute would probably be in vain.
The law firm she and Wang Yiran founded has just been established.
They recruited mostly young lawyers who had recently graduated and had little experience.
Such a team is really not very competitive in the legal profession in Haicheng.
In an effort to enhance her own reputation, Wang Yiran went to great lengths to finally establish connections with Kai Rong Law Firm, the largest law firm in Jiangxi Province.
They want to use their shell company to set up a branch office in Haicheng.
In preparation for tonight's dinner, Wang Yiran took four hangover pills beforehand.
He seemed to be willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness.
But who knew that the director of Kai Rong Law Firm would be Lu Jingshi.
Wang Yiran was unaware that she and Lu Jingshi had already moved on.
Not only that, Lu Jingshi also hated her to the core.
Want to affiliate with Kairong Exchange?
That's absolutely unbelievable!
"How can we discuss a contract when you're this drunk? Let me take you home first."
Jiang Wan tried to pull Wang Yiran away, but was stopped by the woman next to Lu Jingshi.
"Hello, I'm Fang Tian, a partner at Kairong, and also A Shi's personal senior assistant."
She pointed at Wang Yiran.
"Xiao Wang drank quite a bit today, and it might be difficult for you to take her home by yourself. It's almost time to close up here anyway, so let us take you home."
Jiang Wan hesitated for three seconds before agreeing.
It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.
It would cost at least fifty yuan to get to Wang Yiran's house from here.
If there are no taxis available and you have to take a ride-hailing service, the price will at least double.
The law firm's current financial situation doesn't allow her to be stubborn.
Every little bit helps.
Lu Jingshi frowned, clearly not happy about it.
But Fang Tian wouldn't allow him to refuse.
"Ms. Jiang, let's go get the car first, see you in a bit."
Lu Jingshi opened his mouth but said nothing, letting Fang Tian pull him out of the private room.
Jiang Wan held the contract in one hand and helped Wang Yiran downstairs with the other.
As soon as she stood still, a Mercedes pulled up beside her.
The car window rolled down, revealing Fang Tian's elegant and beautiful face in the passenger seat.
"Miss Jiang, please get in the car."
Jiang Wan subconsciously looked at Lu Jingshi in the driver's seat.
He was looking down, carefully adjusting Fang Tian's seatbelt.
Jiang Wan lowered her eyes, concealing the bitterness in them, and pushed Wang Yiran into the back seat.
He then sat down as well.
Along the way, Fang Tian and Lu Jingshi talked about all sorts of things.
From current affairs to hot topics, and even gossip from within the institute.
Fang Tian was in high spirits and very lively.
Lu Jingshi responded to every question, his tone showing no impatience whatsoever.
Jiang Wan felt a tightness in her chest and habitually rolled down the window to look at the river view.
But all I could see was darkness.
She almost forgot that the passenger seat was no longer her designated seat.
From this vantage point, you can't see the lights of Haicheng's countless homes; you can only see the riverside city wall.
"Jiang Wan, are we here yet? I feel like I'm spinning, ugh..."
Wang Yiran, who was standing next to her, gagged.
Jiang Wan immediately felt a chill run down her spine, quickly got up, and pried a bag out of the side of the trunk and stuffed it into her hand.
"Spit in here! This car seat cover is incredibly hard to wash. If you dare spit in my car, I'll never forgive you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wan sensed that something was wrong.
Quiet.
An eerie stillness.
Wang Yiran stopped vomiting, blinked her eyes, and hesitated to speak.
Fang Tian turned her head and looked at the bag in Jiang Wan's hand, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Ms. Jiang, how did you know that Ah Shi has a habit of putting garbage bags in the trunk?"
Jiang Wan subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.
Lu Jingshi remained expressionless, staring straight ahead, showing no intention of speaking.
"Well... many drivers have this habit, I was just guessing, I didn't expect there really was one in the car."
Fang Tian said "Oh," turned away, and stopped talking.
The car, which had four people, was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
When they arrived at Wang Yiran's building, Jiang Wan dragged her out of the car.
I had just closed the door and stood still when I turned around to thank them.
Lu Jingshi stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.
Seeing Wang Yiran completely drunk, Jiang Wan was worried about leaving her home alone.
It seems I'll have to make do at her place for the night.
I gave Wang Yiran some hangover medicine, and then helped her change into her pajamas and wash her face.
Jiang Wan was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her fingers.
Just as she was about to go to the second bedroom to sleep, Wang Yiran suddenly grabbed the strap of her pajamas.
"Jiang Wan, why are you and Lu Jingshi acting so strangely? Didn't everyone say you two broke up amicably? Why does he look so resentful?"
Jiang Wan's eyes were ashen.
How could he not resent it?
He must have hated himself to death for being abandoned by his lover at the brink of life and death.
Wang Yiran sighed and patted her head.
"Never mind, so many years have passed."
"Cheer up, come with me somewhere in a few days. Men need to fight."
Jiang Wan thought that Wang Yiran had seen through the truth and would no longer waste her time on Lu Jingshi.
A few days later, when the car stopped downstairs at the Kairong Law Firm, Jiang Wan was still stunned.
"You haven't given up yet?"
Wang Yiran smiled confidently.
"Let's try again. I have confidence in your plan. I'll come over in a bit, and you can help me fill in any gaps."
