Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.
Chapter 18, Demonstration 2
In the director's office of a sanatorium in the north of the city.
Jiang Wangang proposed to take his grandmother to live with him, but was met with strong opposition from the hospital director.
"After two years of systematic treatment, the old lady's condition has stabilized considerably, but you must be aware that this disease is irreversible. All we can do is slow down the progression of the disease as much as possible."
"Patients need a safe, stable, and familiar environment to reduce anxiety. They also need dedicated caregivers who pay attention to their physical and mental health."
"Ms. Jiang, if you can't do these things, I suggest you don't change the status quo."
Jiang Wan looked solemn.
During the years she was abroad, her grandmother was taken care of by her uncle's family, and she would send living expenses to her every month.
Every time they contacted each other, her uncle would tell her that her grandmother was in good health and had sharp hearing and eyesight.
But after returning to China, she discovered that her grandmother suffered from severe Alzheimer's disease.
It was so bad that he forgot about her!
She had a big argument with her uncle and brought her grandmother to Haicheng, sending her to this nursing home.
I stayed there for two years.
The doctors here are very professional. My grandmother's condition has indeed stabilized a lot in the past two years, and she can even think of me occasionally.
Therefore, she had no doubt that the dean's words were truly for her and her grandmother's good.
"Okay, Dean, I trust you. Grandma will continue to stay here, and I will transfer the fees on schedule. But there's one condition: no one but me can visit Grandma."

"Don't worry, your uncle hasn't come back since you kicked him out last year."
"It's not just my uncle."
Ever since she met that woman in Haicheng Prison, she had felt uneasy.
She wouldn't allow anyone to disturb her hard-won peace of life.
And we will absolutely not allow anyone to drag her back to hell.
Although the dean was somewhat puzzled, he still nodded in agreement.
"Perfect timing! This afternoon is the courtyard's fun sports activity, and your grandmother is one of the main participants. Let's go check it out together."
Jiang Wan chose this sanatorium not only because of the professionalism and patience of the director and medical staff.
More importantly, they don't treat the people who live here as useless people who can't do anything.
On the contrary, they frequently organize various activities to exercise both the body and mind.
The sports meet was held at the sports field behind the main building.
The event has already begun, and people are gathered in circles around the field.
There were also many young men and women, almost all of whom were holding cameras.
"Dean, have the volunteers arrived?"
"They weren't volunteers; it was a charitable company that sponsored our event and brought along quite a few reporters and media."
The dean quickened his pace and led Jiang Wan through the crowd.
A microphone stands in the center of the venue.
A refined and handsome middle-aged man is waving to the cameras around him.
"Mr. Lu, it is truly an honor for us that you not only sponsor our sanatorium's activities but also take time out of your busy schedule to come in person."
"Dean Zhang, please don't say that. We business people can't just focus on making money. Besides making economic contributions, we also have the responsibility to give back to society."
"After all, caring for the elderly is caring for us tomorrow. As long as Director Zhang doesn't mind that there are so many of us and that we're bothering everyone, that's fine."
The man had a handsome face and a smile on his lips, but upon closer inspection, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
His eyes, as they moved, couldn't hide their sharpness and aloofness.
Lu Guokun is the CEO of the Lu Group.
He truly is a shrewd and resourceful person who has navigated the business world for many years.
Jiang Wan subconsciously looked behind him.
Sure enough, there was a figure in black on the sidelines, wearing a black shirt and black trousers, which made him look tall and slender.
The parasol overhead cast a shadow, obscuring half of his face.
Half light, half darkness, plus an aura of icy coldness emanating from him.
He looked exactly like a damp, gloomy male ghost who was afraid of the light.
She lowered her gaze, found her grandmother in the opposite line, and stood behind her.
An elderly woman with white hair but looking very energetic twisted her body and turned to look at Jiang Wan.
His bewildered expression resembled that of an innocent child.
Who are you?
Jiang Wan knelt down and smoothed the stray hairs that had been ruffled by the wind.
"Grandma, I'm your granddaughter, haven't you forgotten?"
"Granddaughter? I don't have a granddaughter. I only have Xiao Wanwan. What's a granddaughter?"
Jiang Wan held her hand and sniffed, her nose stinging.
"Grandma, I'm Wanwan! When you go on stage later, I'll cheer you on, okay?"
"Late...late?"
The old lady continued to look at her.
After a moment, as if he had finally remembered, he grasped her hand in return and nodded happily.
In the center of the arena, Lu Guokun had already finished his speech.
The dean and several elderly representatives went on stage to present him with flowers, including his grandmother.
Reporters with their long lenses and microphones surrounded the group, taking pictures from every angle.
Then I turned to the venue and the crowd, took a few random photos, and started packing up my equipment to leave.
Lu Guokun stepped down from the stage and walked towards his son.
An assistant immediately stepped forward to hold up a parasol and a small fan.
"Select a few more photos from earlier. We need to use them on the group's website and various platforms. Notify the publicity department to spend some money to promote them on each platform, and finally get them on some trending search results."
The assistant quickly tucked the small fan under his arm, took out paper and pen, and carefully wrote it down.
Lu Guokun was very satisfied with his son's performance today.
"That's more like it. Which family doesn't fight like father and son? The Lu family will be yours sooner or later. You can't rely on me alone."
Lu Jingshi remained expressionless and did not respond.
Lu Guokun knew his son's temperament well, so he said no more.
"Alright, we've taken the photos, let's go."
Lu Jingshi didn't move: "You go first."
Following his gaze, Lu Guokun turned around and glanced at the field.
Suddenly, he had a sudden realization and patted his son on the shoulder approvingly.
"Good, you should consider the whole picture when doing things and not give others a chance to criticize you. Good, you've made progress."
The large crowd left with Lu Guokun.
The sports field was immediately half empty.
Jiang Wan's eyes remained fixed on the grandmother participating in the event, cheering her on.
"Alright, let's move on to the second activity: three-legged race, to improve your physical coordination."
The old people looked at each other, not knowing what a three-legged race was.
"Let's find someone to demonstrate."
Dean Zhang looked around and finally settled his gaze on Jiang Wan.
"Perfect timing, Miss Jiang...would you mind demonstrating?"
Jiang Wan quickly shook her head, saying it was a joke; she'd always had a bad sense of balance.
She's always the one who drags everyone down when we play this game in PE class.
They always fall to the ground and are dragged like dead dogs to the finish line.
Just like with these patients, Dean Zhang encouraged her in a low voice.
"No need to rush, just demonstrate the movements, thank you both."
Two of you?
Jiang Wan was confused until a clear male voice came from behind her, and then she realized why Dean Zhang had spoken to the two of them.
"I do."
Jiang Wan turned her head and saw that Lu Jingshi hadn't left with Lu Guokun.
She didn't even know when they were standing behind her.
The parasol in the assistant's hand also cast a shadow in front of him.
She didn't even notice.
"Alright, then please invite Miss Jiang and Mr. Lu to come up on stage."
Jiang Wan reluctantly went on stage.
While the referee was squatting down to tie the two women's legs, she couldn't help but mutter a complaint in a low voice.
"What are you doing? I don't know how at all."
"It's okay, I'll do it."
Jiang Wan's expression froze instantly. Those words... they sounded very familiar...
"Gentlemen, you're too far apart; the rope could easily slip off."
The referee looked up and gestured for the two to move closer.
Jiang Wan took a few small steps.
"Closer."
Jiang Wan tilted her shoulder slightly.
"It's still not enough."
Suddenly, a pair of hands gripped her slender waist, and with a slight pull, Jiang Wan leaned against Lu Jingshi's chest.
From the side, the two look like they are tightly embracing each other.
Moreover, he showed no intention of letting go.
"Alright, stop being coy, it's all for the sake of the elderly."
