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

When Jiang Wan came out, the party had just ended.

Luxury cars were parked outside, but she couldn't find Gu Yang anywhere.

"Miss Jiang," Fang Tian said, lifting her skirt and walking over with great charm.

"I just saw the second young master of the Gu family being called away by his older brother. If you're alone, Ah Shi and I can take you home."

"No need, I can call a car myself."

Fang Tian gave a slight smirk and turned around, saying, "Then please do as you please."

Jiang Wan looked at her smooth, beautiful back and finally couldn't resist calling out to her.

"Director Fang, Zhang Mei will withdraw the complaint from the Justice Bureau tomorrow. I'll be returning to Kairong the day after tomorrow."

Fang Tian shrugged casually: "Withdraw the report? That's great. As for returning to Kairong, that depends on A-Shi's arrangements; I can't agree to that for now."

"I'm not asking for your permission, I'm just letting you know. Director Fang, see you the day after tomorrow."

Just now, when Fang Tian heard that Zhang Mei wanted to withdraw her report, her expression didn't change much.

But I could see it clearly: her hands were clenched tightly together at her sides, as if she was trying to maintain her composure.

Zhang Mei's case is inextricably linked to her.

Since she has already declared war, I am not someone to be molded from dough.

The phone rang in her handbag, and Jiang Wan answered it.

"Miss Jiang, there's been some progress on the matter you were investigating."

.........

The next day, it was the same teahouse in the eastern suburbs.

Jiang Wan looked at the clues she had found, and her blood instantly turned to ice.

"Ms. Jiang, that family moved to Haicheng two years ago and now lives in an urban village in the North District. The woman usually washes dishes at a restaurant, drives a night shift, and helps people move on weekends."

"Doing so much work?"

"The neighbor said her husband and his mistress were murdered together, and she was left to raise her son alone. To make matters worse, her son contracted a strange disease, and despite spending a lot of money, he couldn't be cured."

Jiang Wan recalled the sick mother and son that the host had introduced at last night's charity gala.

If the coincidences are so perfectly aligned, then they must be the truth.

Grandma's mirror really fell into this woman's hands, and she even dared to try and auction it off!

Send me the exact address.

Jiang Wan got up and left after the paparazzi had been gone for a while.

In the other sea-view private room, the melodious sound of the guqin filled the air, and the aroma of tea permeated the room.

A professional tea master pours the clear tea into teacups and serves them to the guests one by one.

"Ah Shi, try the Gu family's fine tea. If you hadn't come today, Gu Qiang wouldn't have been willing to bring it out."

After taking off his white coat, Shen Juan wore a dark green shirt and black casual pants, with a pair of soft-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, giving him a rather refined and scholarly appearance.

The eldest son of the Gu family, hearing his nonsense, quickly stepped forward to explain.

"You have such a sharp tongue. When has the best tea ever been served to you? It's only because Mr. Lu is usually too busy to bother you."

Shen Juan pouted, "Now that I've introduced you to Ah Shi, how will you thank me?"

"I'll buy all your tea this year, how about it?"

Shen Juan perked up and immediately got up.

"Really? Then I won't hold back."

He remembered that the shop had a tea with an exorbitant price tag that had made the news recently.

He decided then and there that he would make Gu Qiang bleed money whenever he had the chance.

I didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly.

He pushed open the door and went out: "I want to taste what this exorbitantly priced tea tastes like."

Lu Jingshi lowered his head and sipped his tea. Gu Qiang immediately refilled his cup after he finished drinking.

"Mr. Gu, you're too kind."

"I've always wanted to get to know Mr. Lu, but I've heard that you're passionate about law and your law firm is very busy, so I haven't had a chance to meet you."

Gu Qiang and Gu Yang are full brothers, sharing the same mother and bearing a striking resemblance.

The difference was that Gu Qiang's face showed a hint of composure and shrewdness.

"I saw Mr. Lu talking to my younger brother at the charity gala yesterday, and that's when I found out that the rascal actually knows Mr. Lu."

Lu Jingshi put down his teacup and asked, "Did Second Young Master Gu study abroad?"

Gu Qiang waved his hand dismissively: "Useless bullshit art. He's been in America for a few years."

"Why did you suddenly return to China? Have you found someone you like?"

Gu Qiang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"It was because he was so focused on that lousy painting that the old man got impatient and called him back. He planned to train for two years and then find someone from a similar family background to settle down with."

Lu Jingshi lowered his head and blew on the tea foam in his cup, speaking as if casually.

"Didn't you even ask him if he had a girl he liked?"

"Why didn't I ask? But this kid keeps denying it. Forget it, I'm not going to talk about him anymore, he's just annoying."

Gu Qiang naturally shifted the topic to Lu Jingshi.

"I heard that the Lu family has a plot of land in the Linhewan area of ​​the North District that they plan to develop? We'd like to build a three-story food court, and we're wondering what Mr. Lu's thoughts are on that..."

The land that Gu Qiang mentioned is across the river from Kairong.

The Lu family also applied for a cross-river bridge project. If completed, this place will inevitably become a new economic center in the northern district, thanks to the Lu family's reputation.

Whoever gets there first gains the advantage, and whoever gains the advantage can capture the first wave of people and...wealth.

Lu Jingshi remained silent, lost in thought.

Gu Qiang didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only keep refilling the tea.

Inside the hall, Shen Juanxin packed up some exorbitantly priced tea leaves with great satisfaction.

On the way back to the private room, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Jiang Wan, that heartless woman.

Perhaps sensing the gaze, Jiang Wan turned her head and met Shen Juan's eyes.

"Dr. Shen."

Shen Juan gave a slight smirk as a greeting, then walked away without looking back.

Over the years, everyone has witnessed Fang Tian's feelings for A Shi, and their relationship will naturally progress sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan suddenly returned, and it seems that A Shi still has feelings for her.

Recalling Fang Tian's feigned strength yet inability to hide her swollen eyes at last week's gathering, he felt a pang of resentment towards A Shi for the first time.

Five years ago, he was nearly killed by that woman. He finally recovered and is now rich, famous, and prestigious.

Yet he still wanted to fall into that woman's trap again. Even if it wasn't to stand up for Fang Tian, ​​as Ah Shi's good brother, he couldn't allow Ah Shi to get hurt again.

He returned to the private room and closed the door behind him.

"What happened?"

Lu Jingshi noticed that his expression was strange, as if he was trying to hide something.

"It's nothing, Ah Shi, this time Gu Qiang has really suffered a huge loss."

He handed a bottle of tea to Lu Jingshi, and was about to say something when he heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door.

"Gu Yang, are you here?"

Gu Yang's voice also betrayed surprise: "Jiang Wan."

The teaspoon trembled, spilling the soup. Lu Jingshi looked up and raised his voice.

"Young Master Gu."

Gu Qiang immediately got up and opened the door to the tea room.

Standing next to Gu Yang, who was dressed in a white casual outfit, was Jiang Wan, who was wearing a white dress.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful; they are a feast for the eyes.

Gu Qiang's eyes lit up.

"Xiaoyang, is this your girlfriend?"
