Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.
Is Chapter 37 just enough?
Shen Juan immediately agreed: "I'll have two portions each of bluefin tuna belly, goldeneye snapper, white bream, and sea bream, and four purple sea urchins. That should be enough. I'll eat less tonight."
Lu Jingshi listened and nodded. After he finished speaking, he added, "Che Hai replaced it with peony shrimp for me, but the rest is the same as his."
Jiang Wan listened in silence, then held out her hand: "I don't need the errand fee, just give me the money for the meal."
Shen Juan shrugged: "I was beaten up by him as soon as I came out of the pool. The police came and took me away. I didn't take my phone or wallet with me. Go ask him for them. I'm the victim."
Lu Jingshi wasn't much better off. He patted his entire body and finally took off his watch and handed it to Jiang Wan.
"Give this to them, and I'll send someone to pick it up tomorrow."
Jiang Wan didn't move, and Shen Juan got anxious: "Don't be ignorant, this is a C brand diamond watch, it's more than enough to buy that store."
Jiang Wan was too lazy to explain to the two young masters, so she left them with a "wait" and walked across the street.
He returned shortly afterward, carrying two bowls of instant noodles.
Shen Juan's hand froze in mid-air: "Did you hear me wrong? I want Japanese food, not instant noodles."
Jiang Wan placed the noodles on the edge of the flowerbed behind her: "Eat it or don't, it's all I can afford. After you two young masters finish eating, you can each go home, okay?"
"Didn't I already give you the watch?"
"If you went there dressed in designer clothes and drove a luxury car, and said you didn't have any money, the shopkeeper would have seen you off even if you didn't pawn your watch. Now, people will just think I'm a conman."
Lu Jingshi didn't say anything more, picked up the bowl of noodles and took a bite.
Shen Juan rubbed his stomach, then picked up the glass and took a big slurp, before shaking his head in disgust.
"It still doesn't taste as good as I remember; it just tastes like seasoning."
Jiang Wan ignored him and took out her phone: "Dr. Shen, what's your driver's number? I'll have him come pick you up."
"No...cough...cough," Shen Juan choked on a mouthful of noodles and quickly put down the bowl. "Please don't."
Lu Jingshi's expression was somewhat gloating: "He wouldn't dare let the Shen family know, otherwise his older brother would get him resigned and sent to Australia tomorrow."
Shen Juan lowered his eyes, offering no rebuttal, a look of desolation flashing across his face.
Jiang Wan knew the world inside wealthy families was a murky place, so she didn't ask any more questions: "Then I'll call you a car, it's on me."
"Young Master Shen doesn't want others to see him like this, so call Old Yang."
Lu Jingshi ate two more bites, put the lid back on, and walked towards the trash can.
Taking the opportunity, Jiang Wan nudged Shen Juan's arm: "You still haven't told me how you knew...that information about me?"
Shen Juan quickly shoveled down a few mouthfuls of noodles, gesturing in the direction of Lu Jingshi, mumbling something unintelligible.
Jiang Wan knew he was pretending to be stupid, and asked again, "Then why were you fighting? Was it really because of those big-breasted hot girls?"
At this point, Shen Juan perked up, putting down his instant noodles: "Why didn't you want him back then? I told you he was a quick fix, and he wouldn't admit it!"
Jiang Wan's face flushed instantly as images of their past love flooded her mind, making her face burn. But what shocked her even more was that Lu Jingshi had actually fought over this!
Does he care that much about this?
Jiang Wan didn't want to discuss such private matters with others, but he also vaguely felt that it wasn't good for him to be misunderstood like this.
After stammering for a while, he managed to squeeze out, "He... is fine, enough... to use."
"Enough? Hahahaha."
Shen Juan was taken aback at first, but after realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and laugh.
He laughed until his stomach hurt. He never expected that the heir to the prestigious Lu Group and the leading figure in the legal profession in Jiang Province would be merely "good enough" in his woman's eyes.
When Lu Jingshi returned after throwing out the trash, he saw Shen Juan staring at him and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's wrong with you?"
Do you want to know her opinion of you?
As Shen Juan spoke, his gaze slowly moved to Lu Jingshi's lower body. Seeing that Lu Jingshi's expression had become visibly tense, Shen Juan seized the opportunity to make a request, "Apologize to me and give me your new golf club, and I'll tell you."
"Are you taking advantage of his misfortune?" Jiang Wan grabbed Lu Jingshi's tattered sleeve. "Don't give it to him."
Before Shen Juan could say anything more, Old Yang's car had already stopped by the roadside, and he ran over, waving to the group.
The three got into the car and first took Shen Juan back to the villa before the two of them went home together.
They remained silent the whole way until they entered the elevator, where Lu Jingshi's tall figure encircled her in a corner.
Jiang Wan glanced guiltily at the camera and tried to push him away, but the more she pushed, the more he moved forward, soon blocking her way and making her unable to move.
"You still haven't told me how you evaluate me?"
Jiang Wan's eyes darted around, glancing at the numbers on the elevator panel every now and then.
1-2-3…
Why is the elevator so slow today?
Lu Jingshi noticed her little movement, lowered his head and buried his face in the crook of her neck, his slightly cool lips pressed against her skin, slid a few times, and then bit her earlobe.
Jiang Wan's legs went weak, and she clung tightly to her arm with both hands.
He did it on purpose; he knew perfectly well that every time he did this, he would go limp.
"There are surveillance cameras, Lu Jingshi, you... have you no shame?"
"Still cursing? Are you going to talk or not?"
He gently tightened his teeth, feeling the person in his arms shudder, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
They are still so easily defeated.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, please step back a little."
Lu Jingshi looked up, giving her a little distance: "Speak."
Jiang Wan licked her lips and glanced at the numbers on the panel again.
"I said you... are enough."
Lu Jingshi was struck dumb: "..."
The elevator doors opened just then, and Jiang Wan seized the opportunity to shove him aside and run out quickly.
"Jiang Wan!"
The elevator doors closed rapidly, carrying Lu Jingshi and his final roar as it ascended.
Jiang Wan didn't know why he was angry. In her opinion, "good enough" was the highest praise a man could receive.
She opened the door, and Summer jumped up and pounced on her.
Jiang Wan caught it in one go: "Are you hungry? Mom is late, so I'll feed you right away."
Summer seemed to understand, nuzzling her face and making coquettish whimpering sounds.
Jiang Wan took two deep breaths.
Dogs are better; they won't get angry for no reason, nor will they suddenly ask you: "Human, how am I?"
On the nineteenth floor, Lu Jingshi stepped out of the elevator with a livid face.
Before the facial recognition system could respond, the door was opened from the inside.
"Ah-Shi, you're back?"
Fang Tian's charming smile froze on her face the moment she saw Lu Jingshi.
"What happened? Are you injured? Did you call the police?"
Lu Jingshi impatiently shook off her hand: "It's nothing, I got into a fight."
"A fight? Again, because of Jiang Wan?"
Last time, he was injured because of Jiang Wan, but he wouldn't tell me. It was only when Shen Juan let it slip that I found out.
Remembering that Jiang Wan said before leaving get off work that he was going to the police station to bail someone out, could it be A Shi?
Lu Jingshi was already furious, and his face darkened even more when he heard Jiang Wan's name.
"Who said it was because of her? Who does she think she is?"
