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

In the past, whenever Lu Jingshi returned from a business trip, he would bring back nothing but a suitcase full of documents and files.

She even playfully asked him to prepare a gift for her.

But he always found it troublesome, didn't know how to choose, and just handed her the bank card directly.

"Honey, I really don't know how to pick out gifts for girls, and I don't have time to go shopping. Just buy whatever you like, okay?"

But now?

He not only remembered to travel thousands of miles to bring gifts for Fang Tian.

She chose women's jewelry, which takes the most time and effort.

"Miss Jiang? Do you think it matches?"

Fang Tian was still waiting for her reply.

Jiang Wan clenched her sleeves and forced a smile.

"They match perfectly, they complement each other beautifully."

Meanwhile, in Wang Yiran's office.

Lu Jingshi frowned as he flipped through the documents in his hand.

"Is this the person you chose?"

Wang Yiran's heart tightened.

"Old classmate, you suddenly suggested sending someone to be stationed at your place. I've gone through all the lawyers' files in the firm."

She pointed to the three people in the document.

"These three individuals are all graduates of prestigious universities, with outstanding academic performance during their studies, having received international scholarships multiple times, and possessing strong professional skills."

Lu Jingshi chuckled and shook his head.

"Old Wang, have you forgotten? What Kairong has no shortage of is top students."

"ha?"

Wang Yiran was at a loss for words. She went through everyone in the institute in her mind again, but couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

Lu Jingshi didn't urge her, and casually picked up the couple's photo on the table.

In the photo, Jiang Wan and Wang Yiran are wearing hiking gear and smiling brightly at the camera.

"The photos are nice."

A sudden flash of insight struck Wang Yiran, and everything became clear.

"You wouldn't...want Jiang Wan, would you?"

......

On the day of the unveiling ceremony.

Several influential media outlets from within the province were present at the scene.

The ceremony began with each partner taking turns on stage.

Wang Yiran stood up and beckoned Jiang Wan to go upstairs together.

But as soon as she stood up, Fang Tian shoved a camera at her without saying a word.

"Ms. Jiang, you'll be in charge of the news photos for the official WeChat account. Is that alright?"

Jiang Wan looked at the camera in her hand and curled the corners of her lips.

"no problem."

Under the flashing lights, Lu Jingshi stood in the center position.

Fang Tian, ​​dressed in an elegant dress, stood close to him.

The two whispered to each other from time to time, just like an intimate couple.

The media beside her were broadcasting live, and Jiang Wan glanced at them.

The public chat was constantly scrolling with comments from netizens.

"Handsome man and beautiful woman, the only couple in my legal profession."

"They're such a perfect match! This high-ranking official romance has become a reality, but unfortunately, the official WeChat account has announced that they're forcibly breaking them up."

"No! Does anyone know who Jiang Wan is? Can you please get out of the way and stop taking my product apart!"

Jiang Wan's eyes darkened slightly, and her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by something.

I almost dropped the camera in my hand.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to go to Kairong.

But who could have imagined that on the eve of the listing, Lu Jingshi would suddenly propose that she and Fang Tian exchange hostages.

Wang Yiran told her to think it over and not to force herself.

But how could she refuse?

Old Wang helped me during my most difficult time and invited me to return to China to start a business together.

She didn't want to see her in a difficult position.

Besides, Lu Jingshi only asked me to go to his side for revenge.

How could they willingly agree to be replaced by someone else?

After the ceremony, there was a reception dinner.

It was still Yuejianglou, the most luxurious banquet hall.

The lights were dazzling, and glasses clinked.

Wang Yiran and Xiao Du, each holding a wine glass in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, were socializing all over the place.

Jiang Wan, holding a glass of juice, chatted with a few junior lawyers from the firm in a corner.

"Sister Wan, Director Lu seems quite difficult to deal with. Please take good care of yourself after you go to Kairong."

"Yes, Sister Wan, in all these years, apart from Fang Tian, ​​no other assistant has been able to work for Director Lu for a full six months."

"My college roommate works at Kairong. I heard that... Director Lu and Fang Tian's relationship is common knowledge in the institute, it's just a matter of time before it's made public."

"Oh my god, is this for real?"

"Insider information, guaranteed authentic."

Everyone's eyes gleamed with gossip.

The person who started the disturbance should say more.

Jiang Wan silently took a sip of her juice, then couldn't help turning her head away.

In the center of the meeting room, Lu Jingshi was listening to Fang Tian speak.

His expression was focused and serious.

He didn't know what Fang Tian said, but he shook his head with a mixture of indulgence and helplessness, and walked towards the elevator.

Fang Tian pouted her red lips and stomped her foot angrily at his retreating figure.

Her demeanor was both charming and naive.

Jiang Wan's eyes darkened, and she tried to look away.

But Fang Tian noticed this.

Jiang Wan was caught red-handed, so he could only awkwardly raise his glass to her.

Fang Tian curled her red lips, walked over, and put her arm around her shoulder.

"I'm really worried about this. Guo, the editor-in-chief of Guangming.com, can drink too much. Xiao Wang and his team are no match for him."

Jiang Wan followed her gaze.

At the main table in the distance, Wang Yiran and Xiao Du leaned on each other to barely sit up straight.

Both of them had flushed faces and empty eyes.

Meanwhile, the short, stout, balding man opposite him remained calm and composed, as steady as a mountain.

"Guangming.com owns several local platforms with impressive daily active users. If we can ride this wave, we can benefit from better promotional resources in the future..."

Fang Tian took the juice from Jiang Wan's hand and handed her a large wine dispenser.

"Miss Jiang has a huge capacity for alcohol; we're counting on you this time."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Wan over.

When "Mediterranean" saw Jiang Wan, his eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up.

"Editor-in-Chief Guo, you're still as sharp as ever. We all concede defeat."

Fang Tian gave him a playful glare, which made "Mediterranean" burst into laughter.

"Director Fang, you flatter me. This beautiful lady is...."

"This is my savior. She's known for her high alcohol tolerance. Editor-in-Chief Guo, you'll have a worthy opponent tonight."

Fang Tian smiled and gave Jiang Wan a push.

"Jiangwan, why don't you quickly offer a toast to Editor-in-Chief Guo?"

Jiang Wan stumbled a few steps after being pushed by her.

"Mediterranean" immediately reached out and helped her up.

The scalding palm rubbed against Jiang Wan's elbow a couple of times.

The sticky, burning sensation made her scalp tingle instantly, and she quickly pulled her arm back.

The smile on "Mediterranean" faded slightly as he slowly sat down.

Wang Yiran hiccuped as she swayed as she got up.

"Editor-in-Chief Guo, I'm fine, I can still drink, I... I'll toast you."

Editor-in-Chief Guo glanced at Jiang Wan indifferently, without making a move.

Fang Tian clicked her tongue and waved for someone to help Wang Yiran and Xiao Du away.

Then he picked up the wine glass in front of Editor-in-Chief Guo and handed it to Jiang Wan.

"Oh my, Editor-in-Chief Guo, I'm so naive! This is the first time I've met someone as important as you, I'm completely overjoyed. Jiang Wan, aren't you going to offer a toast to Editor-in-Chief Guo?"

"When Editor-in-Chief Guo is in a good mood, he just gives us a trending topic spot. It means that Xiao Wang and the others didn't drink for nothing, and our ceremony today wasn't a waste."

"Hurry up, Jiang Wan?"

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and slowly bent down.

"Editor-in-Chief Guo, I was in a hurry just now and neglected my duties. This is a toast to you."

Editor-in-Chief Guo has not made a move yet.

Fang Tian's eyes darted around, and she smiled, trying to smooth things over: "Editor-in-Chief Guo, are you waiting for a beauty to feed you?"

She winked at Jiang Wan.

"Jiang Wan, hurry up!"

Jiang Wan glanced at her.

Then, urged on by her, he put down his wine glass, picked up his own glass of juice, and slowly straightened up.

"Excuse me, Director Fang, I have other matters to attend to at the institute, so I'll have to take my leave now."

Editor-in-Chief Guo's expression immediately turned cold.

"Director Fang, is this your attitude? Are your subordinates so ignorant of the rules?"

Fang Tian's complexion was also not good, and her delicate eyebrows were furrowed.

"Jiang Wan, you..."

"Why are you all gathered here?"

Lu Jingshi's voice came from behind him.

Before Jiang Wan could turn her head, he pushed her aside.

A pair of cold eyes swept over everyone before landing on Jiang Wan.
