Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

It's still the city hospital.

Shen Juan watched as Lu Jingshi carried the unfaithful woman out of the ambulance, and the veins on his forehead throbbed violently twice.

"Dr. Shen, it's nice to see you again."

Jiang Wan took the initiative to greet him.

Shen Juan merely curled the corners of his mouth slightly before quickly closing it again.

Jiang Wan wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Dr. Shen seemed less enthusiastic this time than last time.

Shen Juan asked her a few simple questions and instructed her to stay and observe overnight.

She wanted to say something more, but Lu Jingshi dismissed her with a look.

Half an hour later, Wang Yiran and Xiao Du arrived at the hospital.

Wang Yiran's nose was red, clearly she had been crying.

Xiao Du's eyes kept glancing at Lu Jingshi, who was leaning against the window.

The resentment was obvious.

Wang Yiran cleared her throat, successfully drawing Lu Jingshi's attention to her.

"Speak your mind."

"Old classmate, look at Jiang Wan, she's only been with you for less than a month, and she's already caused you so much trouble. Is she... your nemesis?"

She looked very serious, as if she really was thinking of Lu Jingshi.

"Or... you can send her back? I'll pick out another one for you with a lucky birth chart."

Lu Jingshi listened to her with a half-smile, and then actually nodded in agreement.

Jiang Wan immediately sat up straight, looking on incredulous: "Really? You agreed?"

"However, before you leave, there are some accounts that need to be settled."

Lu Jingshi took out his phone and opened the calculator.

"A security system that is forcibly broken through will be full of loopholes and has a very high risk of leaks. It is equivalent to being scrapped. This security system cost 300 million yuan to purchase and has been in use for less than a year. Even if you give us a 30% depreciation fee, we still need to compensate you 210 million yuan."

"The GLS63 was damaged while saving you, so its value has decreased by 40%, let's say it's worth 120 million."

"The others won't count, considering we're... old acquaintances."

Jiang Wan blinked, turned around and took Wang Yiran's hand.

"Old Wang, actually I think you can still learn something from Director Lu."

Lu Jingshi's lips curled into a disdainful smile, as if to say, "I knew it."

He noticed the figure at the doorway out of the corner of his eye, composed himself, and walked out.

Wang Yiran and Xiao Du accompanied Jiang Wan until the IV drip was finished, and then the nurse came to remove the needle.

Seeing that it was getting late and they had work to do the next day, Jiang Wan saw them off to the elevator.

On the way back, I suddenly heard Lu Jingshi's voice faintly coming from the stairwell.

She hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but as she turned around, she unexpectedly heard her own name.

Jiang Wan pressed the elevator button, went down one floor, and then quietly pushed open the emergency exit door.

The conversation upstairs was very clear.

"Ah Shi, what exactly is your relationship with Jiang Wan?"

Jiang Wan was a little surprised that Fang Tian had come to the hospital with her.

Lu Jingshi answered quickly: "Don't you know? It's about our past relationship."

"But you don't look like an ex at all right now. Do you... still like her?"

Jiang Wan's heart jumped instantly. She covered her chest with her left hand and dared not breathe.

"How could that be?" Lu Jingshi denied it outright, his voice full of sarcasm. "You underestimate me. I, Lu Jingshi, never go back to an ex, especially not her."

"She has several papers that are almost finished and ready to be published. If you want to become a senior colleague, you'll need her to be listed as an author."

"Furthermore, she and Wang Yiran are in the same boat, and she also has shares in the branch office. Keeping her at Kairong means that no matter what happens to the branch office in the future, it will be under Kairong's control."

Fang Tian's sorrow turned to joy; all the grievances and bitterness of the night vanished.

She leaned gently against Lu Jingshi's chest.

"No matter what, Shi, I will always be by your side."

Lu Jingshi didn't move, his gaze following the stairwell to the white figure by the fire door downstairs.

I wonder if Jiang Wan will feel heartbroken upon hearing these words.

Should!

The thought that she would rather go to Gu Yang than bow down to him when she was in danger made her very sad.

A nameless rage welled up inside him, threatening to erupt.

Downstairs, Jiang Wan leaned against the door and slowly loosened her tightly clenched hands.

In fact, she never had any expectation of rekindling their old flame.

Anyone who can't forget their ex-girlfriend after she dumped them like trash is either a saint or a masochist.

Unfortunately, Lu Jingshi is neither.

If it weren't for Wang Yiran and her colleagues with dreams, she would have preferred to stay as far away from Lu Jingshi as possible.

Jiang Wan calmly returned to her private hospital room, sent a message to Gu Yang, and thanked him.

Then lie down peacefully.

Because of what happened today, Lu Jingshi specially gave her a day off tomorrow.

She had just made an appointment with several real estate agents to view apartments, and after that, she could openly meet her summer.

It's time to visit Grandma at the nursing home.

Jiang Wan mentally planned out the things she needed to do, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier...

…………

Haicheng is located on the eastern coast, and a natural river divides the city into north and south sections.

The southern district has a developed economy, and many wealthy people live here, so housing prices are not low.

Therefore, when Jiang Wan was choosing a house, she immediately ruled out the South District.

I only selected two sets in the North District.

The first apartment is in a newly developed community with a low occupancy rate, but it is quiet and has good greenery.

The real estate agent led her up to the 15th floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Jiang Wan covered her mouth and nose.

On both sides of the corridor directly opposite the elevator, each of the two households has installed a row of open shoe racks.

The sweltering air, mixed with the sour stench of rotten shoes, made Jiang Wan gag.

The house she wanted to see was the one right in the middle.

This means that if she rents it, she will be "welcomed" by these two rows of shoe racks every time she comes and goes.

She didn't even wait until the real estate agent produced the key.

He dry heaved and ran down the fire escape stairs.

The real estate agent followed closely behind, and the two of them only dared to breathe deeply after running down the street.

"Sister, I'm so sorry, but when I came last time, they hadn't put up this shoe rack yet. It's really inconsiderate of them."

Jiang Wan waved her hand, saying it wasn't her fault.

She casually posted a rant on her WeChat Moments, then put her phone away.

"Let's go to the next one."

The second place is located at the southernmost part of the North District, across the river from the South District, and the price is 1000 yuan higher.

The community has complete facilities and is close to the subway station, with a commute time of half an hour.

The house is on the second floor; it's not big, but it's big enough for her to live in alone.

She became more and more satisfied with it.

Until the curtains in the master bedroom were drawn back and the window was opened.

"What's Daddy's dad called? Daddy's dad is called Grandpa..."

"What's my mother's name...?"

Jiang Wan's vision went black.

There's a kindergarten downstairs!

This means that, apart from winter and summer vacations and weekends, these children are her most punctual alarm clock.

She looked up at the sky and sighed, "Isn't there a house in this world that is big, cheap, quiet, and close to the institute?"

The real estate agent looked rather displeased when she saw that the agent was still not satisfied.

My phone suddenly rang in my pocket.

Jiang Wan took it out and glanced at it; it was Xiao Wu.

"Attorney Jiang, I have a friend who got married and moved to another city. She has an empty apartment that she wants to rent out. It's in the neighborhood right across from our office."

"Fully furnished, move-in ready, all utilities included, even the bedding is new, rent is 2000, payable monthly."

"Jiang Lu, can you come over now?"

Jiang Wan took a deep breath.

"Xiao Wu, kneel down and hold her back right now! I'll call a taxi and come right away!"
