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

The host was stunned for ten seconds before impatiently banging the gavel on the deal.

"It's still President Lu who showed us true kindness and love. We will definitely convey President Lu's goodwill to that poor mother and child."

Fang Tian blinked, her eyes filled with shock, as if confirming what was happening before her.

"Ah Shi, why did you make a bid?"

Can't he see that the other person is about to lose control?

Lu Jingshi ignored her, took the pen handed to him by the hostess, and was about to sign to confirm.

Suddenly, a pair of clean, white hands reached out and snatched the pen from his hand.

"Don't sign, come with me."

Jiang Wan took out the confirmation letter and returned it to the hostess, then pulled Lu Jingshi out of the public eye.

Discussions had already begun inside the meeting room.

The gazes cast upon Fang Tian contained doubt, sympathy, and disdain.

Only Fu Manhua showed no surprise, and even seemed to be inquisitive with a hint of gossip.

Outside the venue, Jiang Wan told Lu Jingshi the whole story, only concealing the identity of the thief.

"I want to meet this mother and child quietly to see what's going on."

The situation was chaotic at the time, and she was forced to go abroad. Her grandmother was taken away by her uncle, and the mirror is likely still in that family's hands.

The thought that they had ruined her life and would then live a life of luxury with what they had forcibly taken from her was unbearable.

She absolutely will not allow it!

Lu Jingshi remained expressionless throughout, only speaking coldly after she finished speaking.

"What does this have to do with me? You don't actually think I took this for you, do you?"

Jiang Wan was speechless, her face flushed, but she didn't want to admit to him that she really thought so.

"I'm just reminding Director Lu that if the stolen goods are forcibly auctioned off, the complicated procedures afterward are a minor issue, but if any negative news comes out, Kairong will definitely be affected."

Lu Jingshi's eyes were icy cold: "You're threatening me with Kai Rong?"

Jiang Wan remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Good, very good!"

Lu Jingshi laughed in exasperation.

When other men said they would take pictures for her, she would get excited and touch their hands and gaze at them affectionately, as if she wanted to give herself to them.

He helped her out of kindness, but she used Kai Rong to threaten him!

Jiang Wan couldn't tell him the truth, so she could only soften her voice and beg him.

"Director Lu, this matter is very important to me, please."

Her voice was already soft, and now she deliberately lowered her tone, her sweet voice sounding like a small brush going into her throat, scratching it up and down.

Lu Jingshi neither agreed nor disagreed, and changed the subject.

"Aren't you going to look for Zhang Mei's ex-husband? He's in Fu Manhua's VIP lounge. I can stall him for 30 minutes at most."

Jiang Wan thanked him and walked quickly toward the VIP lounge.

The VIP lounge is reserved for VIPs who donate exhibits; Fu Manhua's lounge is the third one on the second floor.

The door was ajar, and faint sounds of arguing could be heard coming from inside.

"How did you find your way here? This isn't a place for you. Get out of here."

"If you can come, why can't I? Are you afraid of being seen and it affecting your future?"

"Say what you will, we're divorced now, what I do is none of your business."

"You lied to me about divorce. I never wanted a divorce. It's all your fault and that bitch Jiang Wan's fault..."

The door was kicked open forcefully, and Jiang Wan rushed in with a cold face, grabbing Zhang Mei by the collar.

Then he swung his arm and slapped her with all his might.

With a sharp, loud thud, Zhang Mei was knocked back, her teeth hitting the corner of her mouth and drawing blood.

"Jiang Wan? You bitch, you dare hit me, I..."

Jiang Wan slapped her again, this time symmetrically.

"I'll fucking kill you, you ruined my home..."

Jiang Wan turned her head and casually grabbed the handbag on the table, smashing it over her head.

Even my gloomy mood from today has dissipated quite a bit.

Zhang Mei was furious.

"Shi Lei, you coward, are you just going to stand by and watch others beat me up?"

Shi Lei stared at Jiang Wan's dazzling haute couture gown, remaining standing still.

Apart from Zhang Mei, who sneaked in disguised as a cleaner, everyone else who could come to this event had powerful connections.

If he offends the wrong person, it's one thing to cause trouble for himself, but if he harms Sister Hua, his life will be over.

"Zhang Mei, you spewed filth and slandered Lawyer Jiang yourself, so you deserve to be beaten."

Jiang Wan got tired of hitting her, pulled up a chair and sat down, staring intently at Zhang Mei.

"Zhang Mei, I've put up with you for so long. You falsely accused me first, then insulted me. Have I been too soft-hearted, too lenient with you, making you forget what I do for a living?"

She took out her phone and opened the photo album.

The video she had just recorded outside the door was played.

In the video, Zhang Mei verbally abuses her ex-husband while simultaneously rummaging through Fu Manhua's Hermes bag left in the lounge.

He took out a pair of diamond earrings and stuffed them into his pocket.

Shi Lei stepped forward to stop her, but she shoved him hard, causing him to fall onto the sofa.

After that, she pulled out a wad of RMB from Fu Manhua's wallet and stuffed it into her own pocket.

"Do you know what this is? Theft? No, Shi Lei was pushed down while trying to stop you, which has now turned into burglary. Zhang Mei, do you need me to explain the eight most serious crimes under Chinese criminal law to you?"

Zhang Mei's face turned pale instantly.

She instinctively reached out, trying to snatch the phone.

Shi Lei reacted quickly and caught her in his arms.

Jiang Wan glanced at him in surprise. This man was indeed capable of serving a top-tier rich woman like Fu Manhua so well.

Wow, you're quick-witted.

If Zhang Mei manages to seize and destroy this evidence, this woman will continue to harass him endlessly.

Only by finding something to hold against Zhang Mei can he completely get rid of her.

Jiang Wan pointed to the surveillance camera above her head.

"You think you can get away with just stealing my phone? Don't be naive. If I call the police now, you'll be out in eight to ten years. But by then you'll be almost fifty. What will you be able to do when you get out?"

Zhang Mei gave up struggling, covered her face, and began to cry softly.

Jiang Wan remained completely unmoved.

She did sympathize with Zhang Mei, but what was the result?

"Shi Lei, tell me, why did you two get divorced in the first place?"

Shi Lei scratched his head and told him everything.

"At that time, I met a woman from Hong Kong. She really admired me and gave me 5 yuan a month to eat, drink, play, and sleep with her."

"But the good times didn't last long. When she found out I was married, she said she didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to break up with me..."

"Zhang Mei couldn't bear to part with the 5 yuan, so she came up with the idea of ​​divorce. At first, I really disagreed, but she kept pestering me and arguing with me. I couldn't help but hit her. I didn't expect her to file a lawsuit directly."

"After the divorce, I..."

Jiang Wan chimed in, "Do you feel more likable without the constraints of your current status?"

Shi Lei did not deny it: "But I have always given her living expenses. It was she who made exorbitant demands, asking for a car, a house, and money."

Jiang Wan had a pretty good idea of ​​what would happen next.

The sham divorce turned into an irreversible real divorce, and Shi Lei repeatedly rejected Zhang Mei's pleas for reconciliation.

This is why Zhang Mei turned her anger towards him.

"We agreed on a fake divorce, but he changed his mind. Our family fell apart, and I'm left to work odd jobs everywhere. How can I not hate you?"

"It's all your fault! Why didn't you try to stop me back then?"

Jiang Wan was speechless. Zhang Mei's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and she wanted to blame others for her pain and regret.

A typical antisocial personality, there's no point in saying more. She took out the voice recorder from her pocket and pressed the end button.

"Zhang Mei, I've recorded everything you said. I'll give you two choices."

"First, go to the judicial bureau to withdraw the report against me, and publish an apology to me in the newspaper or on your WeChat Moments."

"Secondly, this recording and the video from earlier will be available at the police station tonight."

Choose.
