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

When Jiang Wan returned to the lobby, Xiao Du and the others were already passed out in the booths.

Only Wang Yiran remained steadfast, constantly looking around at the people coming and going.

When she returned, Wang Yiran got up to greet her and led her to the corridor.

"How's it going? Did you pry it open?"

Jiang Wan shook her head in frustration: "She said she just hates me, no one taught her that. Old Wang, do you think there's really something wrong with this case?"

Wang Yiran disagreed.

"What problems could there be? She signed the contract, she reviewed everything. She can't just turn her back on us after the divorce, can she?"

In reality, there are quite a few people like this, but Jiang Wan always felt that Zhang Mei seemed to have hidden something back then.

"Old Wang, could you go to the station tomorrow and check Zhang Mei's case file for me? See if there's anything I've missed?"

Wang Yiran agreed without hesitation, only then remembering Lu Jingshi.

"When I answered the phone just now, he asked me where I was. I really didn't expect him to come here."

She tugged at Jiang Wan's arm, her eyes blazing with gossip.

"Jiang Wan, I think Lu Jingshi is acting a little strange towards you. Is there still a chance for you two?"

Jiang Wan tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to force a smile, but she couldn't manage it, and in the end she could only lower her eyes.

Wang Yiran had no idea what had happened between them, nor did she know that Lu Jingshi and Fang Tian had already been living together.

He and Lu Jingshi, whether in the past or now, can never be together again.

She sniffed and jokingly patted Wang Yiran on the shoulder.

"Old Wang, let me put it this way, you and I are more likely to be together than he is."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Wan felt a chill run down her spine.

She turned her head and saw Lu Jingshi standing not far away, his gaze heavy and devoid of warmth.

"Old classmate, are you going back already?" Wang Yiran awkwardly tried to smooth things over. "We're also finishing up now. Let me call you a car."

"Need not."

Lu Jingshi coldly uttered two words, walked past the two of them, and stopped after a few steps.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Jiang Wan immediately realized that he was talking to her.

"Oh, come on, Lao Wang, tell everyone not to waste the wine, I'm leaving now."

Save where you should, spend where you should; it's foolish not to use a car you own.

Remembering the money she had just spent that evening, Jiang Wan followed Lu Jingshi without hesitation, jogging to keep up with his pace.

After exiting the nightclub, Jiang Wan looked around for a long time but didn't see any cars coming.

"Is Lao Yang asleep? Why don't you give him a call?"

Lu Jingshi's beautiful peach blossom eyes were tinged with a hint of a smile, but unfortunately, it was a mocking smile.

"Who told me I drove here?"

"...So you invited me?"

"Didn't I just tell you? I didn't bring any money."

He hailed a car with a flourish, sat in the back seat with a flourish, and closed the door with a flourish.

The meaning is obvious!

After getting out of the car, Jiang Wan paid the fare, and the two walked together towards the residential area.

"Why didn't you bring any money with you when you went out?"

"In a hurry to catch them in the act of adultery."

Jiang Wan choked. They had no relationship to begin with, so why were they being accused of adultery?

"Director Lu, it's the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone, getting out of the same car and entering the same residential area. Don't you think we're the ones having an affair?"

"I'm willing to suffer a loss."

Lu Jingshi's words seemed to be laced with poison, which angered Jiang Wan so much that she turned her head away and ignored him.

He secretly vented his anger by stepping on his shadow.

Lu Jingshi looked childish, but just as she was about to step on it, he suddenly took a few steps to the side, causing her to miss.

Then, I listened with satisfaction to the sound of her gritting her teeth behind me...

Under the streetlights, their shadows stretched longer and longer, occasionally overlapping, making them look ambiguous and intimate.

Suddenly, a curvaceous, alluring figure appeared in my line of sight.

Jiang Wan looked up and saw Fang Tian standing not far away watching them.

Unlike her usual flamboyant and domineering self, she looked resentful, like a wife who had caught her husband cheating.

"Why did you all come back together? Ah Shi, where did you go? Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Jingshi licked his lips unhappily: "Fang Tian, ​​you're meddling too much."

Having said that, he strode past her and entered the building's lobby.

Jiang Wan stood there awkwardly.

"Director Fang, you're still up so late?"

"Miss Jiang, don't you also like to go out this late? Where did you go?"

Fang Tian's questioning made Jiang Wan feel uncomfortable, but she still patiently spoke up.

"I was suspended from my post for once, so I had a meal with my former colleagues and ran into Director Lu by chance."

She smiled kindly and prepared to enter the hall.

A pair of beautiful arms blocked my view, carrying a faint scent of ocean flowers.

It smelled exactly like Lu Jingshi.

"Miss Jiang, don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Jiang Wan looked at her eye to eye, her gaze open and honest.

Although she felt she had no obligation to explain to Fang Tian, ​​since she hadn't provoked Lu Jingshi on her own initiative.

But as a woman herself, she felt a pang of sympathy for her current state.

"Director Fang, I'm telling the truth. I was dealing with some personal matters when I ran into Director Lu."

"I'm asking," Fang Tian persisted, "why did you come back with him?"

Jiang Wan pursed her lips: "My new rented apartment is in this building, on the 18th floor."

Fang Tian's eyes widened slightly. The 18th floor, right downstairs from A Shi?

"Director Fang, if you're still worried, you can check with the property management. May I go up now?"

Fang Tian stepped aside with a blank expression.

They entered the elevator together, and Jiang Wan noticed that Fang Tian pressed the button for the 19th floor.

She felt a pang of sadness and rushed down to the 18th floor.

The sound of a door closing upstairs traveled into the house through the emergency exit.

Jiang Wan irritably kicked off her shoes, threw herself onto the sofa, and forced herself not to let her mind wander into random thoughts.

The phone started playing music during a video call, so she took out her phone and answered it.

The next moment, a heartwarming, hairy face appeared on the screen.

Jiang Wan immediately sat up: "Baby, Mommy misses you."

Gu Yang's face slowly peeked out from behind Summer's head.

"Wanwan, I'm off tomorrow, I'll send Summer over to you."

Summer was given to Gu Yang back then, and Jiang Wan never thought of shamelessly asking for it back.

But unexpectedly, a few days ago Gu Yang took the initiative to offer to return Summer to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan's depressed mood eased considerably, and she thanked him repeatedly.

"Since you're going to thank me, how about you accompany me to a charity gala tomorrow night?"

"I just got back to China and I don't have a female companion. Wanwan, please help me."

Jiang Wan disliked that kind of occasion and wanted to refuse.

But seeing Summer's adorable face and thinking of Gu Yang's loyalty, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"good……"

Gu Yang happily clapped his hands while pinching the dog's paw.

"Great! I'll have someone deliver the dress to your house tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wan saw a WeChat message that Lu Jingshi had sent while the line was busy.

"Keep your voice down, it's so noisy."

Jiang Wan looked up at the 5-meter-high ceiling above her and rolled her eyes.

baffling!
