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

Seeing that Jiang Wan's expression was not good, Lu Jingshi thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Praying to gods and Buddhas is just psychological suggestion. Everything depends on human effort, so there's no need to take these words too seriously."

Jiang Wan forced a smile, trying to make conversation: "There's an old Taoist priest inside, he seems like a master. Why don't you go ask him about your marriage prospects with Director Fang?"

Lu Jingshi's calm expression instantly darkened, and he let out a few cold laughs.

"What's it to you? Attorney Jiang, are you so interested in my personal life because you want to offer yourself up?"

He turned and left, but after a few steps he saw Jiang Wan still standing there, and couldn't help but shout at her.

"What are you still standing there for? Idiot, take the cable car down the mountain while there are fewer people."

Jiang Wan and Lu Jingshi secretly took the cable car down the mountain. After informing the organizers at the foot of the mountain, they returned to the hotel.

Jiang Wan had just woken up after a nice beauty nap when someone knocked on the door.

She opened the door with a yawn, and Lu Jingshi walked in carrying a paper bag, which he threw on the bed.

"Put it on, and it'll accompany me to a family dinner tonight."

"Family gathering, who's there? Your parents?"

Lu Jingshi looked at her like she was an idiot, a smirk playing on his lips: "What? You want 600 million this time?"

Jiang Wan's eyes darkened, and she lowered them.

"Do you remember Professor Qian? He settled here after he retired, and I would visit him every time I went on a business trip."

Professor Qian?

Jiang Wan's class teacher during her university years was very kind to her and Lu Jingshi when they were students.

After Lu Jingshi graduated, during the early stages of his business, Professor Qian used his connections to help him a great deal.

She smoothed her hair and said, "Why didn't you call me sooner? We could have gone to buy a gift."

Lu Jingshi tapped his phone with a half-smile.

"Look at how many phone calls I've made! Even hibernating pigs can't sleep as long as you. By the time I get to you, it'll be too late."

"you!"

Jiang Wan glared at him angrily, thinking it was all his fault for having a brain fart and insisting on climbing that mountain.

She pushed him out, saying, "I need to take a shower and change my clothes. You go out."

She pushed him out of the room, and before closing the door, Jiang Wan spoke again: "And... pigs don't hibernate!"

The door slammed shut right in front of me.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Jingshi's lips.

With his hands in his pockets, he whistled softly and went back to his room.

An hour later, in the lobby of a high-end residential complex in the city center.

Jiang Wan awkwardly tugged at her skirt, her movements stiff and comical.

"You have lice?"

"No, it's just that I haven't seen Professor Qian for many years, so I feel a little awkward."

Lu Jingshi quickly looked her up and down.

A white halter-neck mini skirt fell just above her knees, her long hair was neatly styled up, and her delicate collarbones were revealed.

Her beauty was non-threatening; her large, round almond-shaped eyes were so clear they could reflect a person's image, and her movements carried an air of charming naivety.

A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, then he slightly turned his gaze away.

"No need to say more, just follow me."

In Jiang Wan's memory, Professor Qian had always been a gentle and refined middle-aged man. However, she never expected that when she saw him again five years later, he would have a full head of white hair and deep frown lines on his forehead, which were very obvious even without expression.

"Professor Qian." Jiang Wan's voice choked up after saying just three words.

Professor Qian smiled and pulled them to sit down: "I heard from A-Shi that you came back from abroad, and you said yesterday that you wanted to come and see me. I've been looking forward to it all night."

Lu Jingshi poured him a glass of water: "It's been a few months since you last came. How are you? Xianxian... how are you?"

Professor Qian's face darkened slightly: "I'm still the same as always, Xianxian... her, sigh."

Fairy?

Professor Qian's daughter, I remember her as a cute junior high school student with big eyes.

Jiang Wan liked this polite little girl very much and always followed her and Lu Jingshi, sweetly calling her Sister Jiang Wan.

"What's wrong with Xianxian?" Jiang Wan asked, puzzled.

"bite."

The door lock automatically detected the presence of a sensor, and before anyone entered, there was a strong smell of research.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but cough softly.

"Hmm? Old man, we have guests?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a girl wearing sky-high heels and a miniskirt stepped into the living room. Her face was covered in heavy makeup, making it almost impossible to see her original appearance.

A row of rings pierced her exposed navel.

His leather jacket was covered with studs, and he had a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers.

"Brother! What brings you here?"

When the girl saw Lu Jing, she exclaimed in surprise and casually threw the cigarette in her hand into the fish tank next to her, which made Jiang Wan frown.

Professor Qian got up, grumbling, and went to retrieve the cigarette butts.

The girl didn't care at all; her eyes were only on Lu Jingshi.

"Brother, did you know it's my birthday today, and that's why you came to celebrate?"

Lu Jingshi's eyes flickered, and he pointed to the shopping bag on the corner of the sofa.

"A gift for you."

Actually, he didn't know Xianxian's birthday. He just brought a gift for his daughter every time he visited Professor Qian. He never expected that today he would accidentally bring her such a gift.

"Wow, Chanel! Thank you, brother, isn't it beautiful?"

Xianxian swung her new bag from shoulder to shoulder, her eyes darting around as if she had just noticed Jiang Wan standing to the side.

"Who are you?"

"I am Jiang Wan."

Xianxian suddenly realized, and coldly replied, "Oh, so you're my brother's ex-girlfriend from college. What are you doing here?"

Professor Qian turned around and slapped her on the head.

"You're so rude! Is this how I taught you? Look at yourself, what kind of person are you dressed like this? You're going back to Australia to study tomorrow."

"Professor Qian." Jiang Wan quickly stopped his hand from falling again. "Xianxian... is still young, don't hit her."

"I'm not going back." Xianxian casually tossed her long hair. "Unless... you give me 100,000 every month."

"One hundred thousand? What do you take me for? I gave you money and you used it to buy... Xianxian, you're ruined, you know that?"

"You country bumpkin, and you're supposed to be a lawyer? You should keep up with international standards. That stuff is legal abroad. I can't be bothered to talk to you. Brother, I'm going in to make a call."

The girl turned around gracefully, passed by Jiang Wan, and gave her a disapproving look.

"Dead green tea."

Lu Jingshi, who was standing beside her, immediately stood up, his voice icy: "Xianxian, apologize!"

The girl scrutinized him carefully for a few seconds, then reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and didn't reply.

What shocked Jiang Wan even more than her attitude was that the originally smart and well-behaved girl had turned out like this!

Professor Qian looked helplessly at the closed bedroom door.

"Jiang Wan, I'm sorry to have troubled you. This child studied abroad for two years and has turned out like this. I can't do anything about it anymore."

He looked at Lu Jingshi: "Ashi, your teacher has a favor to ask of you."

Lu Jingshi quickly sat up straight: "Professor, please speak."

"I don't think this child has much hope of going to school. Could you... let him train at your institute and take the certification exam a couple of years later?"

Lu Jingshi hesitated for a long time, looking at Professor Qian's full head of silver hair and the deep pleading in his eyes.

Ultimately, I couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay, I promise you."
