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

Chapter 30 Suspicion

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qiang felt a chill run down his spine.

He looked back and saw that the window was open and the wind had picked up.

"Xiaoyang, I have something to do today. You two go on your date first. We'll have your girlfriend come home for dinner another day so your old man can see her."

Jiang Wan and Gu Yang stood outside the door, in a blind spot, and couldn't see what was happening inside.

Jiang Wan heard that the eldest son of the Gu family had misunderstood and wanted to explain.

Gu Yang tugged at her sleeve, shook his head, and looked at her pleadingly.

Jiang Wan's words of explanation were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

She forced a standard smile: "Okay, Brother Gu, see you another day, we're off now."

Before I could even move, I heard a sarcastic remark coming from inside the private room.

"Attorney Jiang really has many identities."

Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Jingshi is actually here!

Gu Qiang was confused until he heard Jiang Wan peek out and call out "Director" before he realized what was going on.

"Your sister-in-law knows President Lu? That's even better, they're all relatives, come in quickly."

Sister-in-law? Relative?

Jiang Wan smiled bitterly. No matter what Young Master Gu wanted from Lu Jingshi, he was destined to be disappointed today.

She sat down on the futon, and a cup of bright red tea was handed to her.

"Sister-in-law, have a taste."

The words "younger brother and sister-in-law" seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, his tone undulating and subtle, yet anyone could hear the mockery in his voice.

Jiang Wan instantly relaxed. It wasn't her who said those words. What kind of man is he if he only lets her bully him?

She picked up her teacup and said softly, "Thank you, Director Lu."

Jiang Wan didn't drink it, but instead turned and handed it to Gu Yang.

"You've been talking for so long, are you thirsty? Here, moisten your throat."

Gu Yang rolled his eyes, took the drink, and sipped it in one gulp.

The next moment, a teapot was placed in front of him with a "duang".

"Young Master Gu, are you thirsty? Drink some more."

Shen Juan awkwardly dug out a four-room-one-hall structure on the ground.

"Um... Gu Qiang, don't girls like to drink herbal tea? It's your first time meeting your sister-in-law, aren't you going to offer her some hospitality?"

"Yes, yes, you guys chat first, I'll go ask them to prepare some herbal tea for ladies."

Gu Qiang went out.

Shen Juan glanced at his watch and exaggeratedly clutched his stomach.

"Oh dear, it's already noon, I'm so hungry. Young Master Gu, let's go check the lunch menu. Ah Shi is a picky eater and has many dietary restrictions."

Gu Yang didn't want to go, but Shen Juan still dragged him out.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Wan was forcefully pushed down onto the smooth, clean floor.

The next second, a sharp, sucking pain came from my neck.

"No way! Lu Jingshi, are you out of your mind?!"

Jiang Wan angrily pushed him away, sat up, and used her phone screen as a mirror to look at herself.

A small strawberry was clearly visible behind the ear.

"You're crazy! You're an exhibitionist! What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Wan used her hair to adjust the angle and cover herself, barely managing to conceal it.

Lu Jingshi's face darkened as she berated him: "Did you enjoy it, sister-in-law?"

"No!" Jiang Wan snapped irritably. "Are you a dog? This is a public place. How can I face people like this in public?"

Lu Jingshi immediately grasped the key point: "If it doesn't work outside, how about at home?"

"None of those will work!"

Jiang Wan put down her phone, rolled her eyes at him, and gulped down the black tea in her teacup.

Feeling unsatisfied after finishing his drink, he reached for Lu Jingshi's cup and downed it in one gulp, then gave him a defiant sidelong glance.

Lu Jingshi said nothing, stared at her for a while, then picked up the teapot and refilled both cups.

Boring.

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes in triumph.

"By the way, Zhang Mei's matter has been resolved. Is Director Lu still planning to suspend me?"

"I never said you were suspended."

"That's what Fang Tian said."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Then what have I been all this time...?"

Lu Jingshi leisurely sipped his tea.

"Of course... it counts as you skipping work."

Jiang Wan never knew that the once serious academic genius could become so shameless.

Footsteps sounded at the door, and she quickly distanced herself from Lu Jingshi.

After finishing her meal with unease, Jiang Wan made an excuse to leave.

Before they even left the resort area, Lu Jingshi's car caught up with them.

"Come up."

Jiang Wan refused; she wanted to go to the urban village in the North District and didn't want Lu Jingshi to know too much.

"If you have something to say, then you can go down the mountain on your own."

Jiang Wan then sat down.

Lu Jingshi said, "Make preparations for the publicity event at Haicheng Prison tomorrow."

"Huh? Aren't I only in charge of the plan?"

Lu Jingshi glanced at her: "Are you expect me to do this kind of small task by myself? You and Xiao Wu will be in charge of tomorrow's presentation."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and remained silent.

If she appears at the event, she will inevitably see that person.

She thought that over the years, some things had faded with time, but the appearance of that mother and son reminded her of those humiliating past events.

Moreover, when I returned to China two years ago to visit the prison, the mother and son had just moved from Anzhou to Haicheng two years prior.

All of this was so coincidental, it was as if someone had specifically notified us.

These things weighed heavily on her heart, like a huge, immovable rock.

She looked ahead blankly, unsure of what to do next.

At the bend, a Bentley came up from the bottom of the mountain and passed them.

The consecutive license plates that signified status and wealth caught Jiang Wan's eye a few more times.

Lu Jingshi glanced at it quickly, stepped on the gas, and the car sped through the corner.

As the Bentley disappeared from sight, Jiang Wan turned back and sighed with envy.

"What difference does it make if one more rich person like me in this world?"

Lu Jingshi seemed not to hear, his tightly pursed lips betraying his inner turmoil...

Inside the Bentley, the driver immediately recognized his young master.

"Madam, the young master has come down the mountain."

Yu Qing, sitting upright in the back seat, looked over.

It really is his son's Maybach.

She wanted to roll down the window, but at the moment the vehicles passed each other, she suddenly saw a girl sitting in the passenger seat of the Maybach.

This is not Fang Tian's signature curly hair.

Those eyebrows, those features, they look just like someone else.

Five years ago, she personally pushed that girl away from her son. People from such a filthy family were not worthy of stepping into the gates of the Lu family.

I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I suddenly changed my mind and reduced the amount from 500 million to 300 million, and the girl agreed immediately.

At that moment, she didn't know whether to be angry or relieved.

Therefore, she made an even more outrageous demand...

"lady."

The driver's shouts brought Yu Qing back to her senses.

"Madam, tonight is the young master's birthday."

Yu Qing hummed in agreement, took out her phone, and dialed a number...

"Sweetie, it's Shih's birthday tonight, come over for dinner!"

Even after hanging up the phone, she was still unsettled and patted the driver's seat.

"Old Chen, do you still remember Ah Shi's girlfriend from five years ago?"

"I remember, I was the one who took her to the airport back then."

The girl had just come off the operating table when, under the wife's pressure, she was forced to leave for a foreign country.

Not only that, they also had to endure the young master's accusations and hatred.
