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

The room fell silent instantly.

Jiang Wan tried to get out of bed, but Lu Jingshi held her down.

He opened the door, and a unique scent of Fang Tian's perfume immediately wafted in.

"Ah Shi, how could you stay in a hotel like this? There's no private elevator, it's so inconvenient."

Fang Tian immediately expressed her concern.

"You cancelled the hotel reservation and the plane tickets. My aunt and I are really worried."

Fang Tian's voice and the sound of the suitcase wheels turning grew closer and closer until they abruptly stopped.

Jiang Wan, supporting her still weak body, stood up from the bed.

"Director Fang."

Fang Tian's gaze fell on the messy bed and Jiang Wanhong's unusually red lips.

Then, turning his head as if to confirm, he looked at Lu Jingshi and, unsurprisingly, saw the red mark on the corner of his mouth.

The smile on her face vanished completely, leaving only a chilling coldness in her eyes.

"Jiang Wan, what... are you doing?"

Jiang Wan felt a little guilty, but didn't want Fang Tian to misunderstand further: "Director Fang, it's not what you think. We didn't do anything... out of line."

"Something out of line? Then tell me, what do you mean by something not out of line?"

Fang Tian's eyes were like knives, as if she wanted to gouge Jiang Wan out.

"Fang Tian, ​​I don't need to explain to you. Please leave."

Lu Jingshi stood in front of Jiang Wan, coldly looking at Fang Tian, ​​"It's none of your business what I do."

Fang Tian felt a churning in her chest, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

"You don't need me to take care of you? When I first met you, this woman had nearly killed you. I was the one who willingly stayed by your side to take care of you and help you, right up until now."

"And this woman? She abandoned you on the operating table for money, and now she's back to seduce you for money, and you're still falling for her. Have you forgotten how she humiliated you back then?"

"Ah Shi, you have no idea how crazy this woman is abroad. She kept saying she didn't know any American doctor Eric, but afterwards she warned Eric not to leak patient privacy."

"But Jiang Wan, nothing stays hidden forever. I thought this was your privacy and had nothing to do with me, but you shouldn't be so shameless. Ah Shi, look at these photos."

She bit her chin, pulled up a set of photos on her phone, and held them in front of Lu Jingshi.

The photo shows Jiang Wan walking out of the gate of a foreign hospital, captured by the security camera at the entrance.

The time spans from winter to summer, and there are three photos in total.

In the photos, Jiang Wan is seen clutching her lower abdomen in pain.

In one of the photos, Gu Yang is holding her tightly around the waist as they hail a taxi at the hospital entrance.

"Jiang Wan, as far as I know, the hospital you came to is a well-known obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the US. You and Gu Yang... what are you doing there?"

Jiang Wan's face turned deathly pale instantly, her heart pounded like thunder, and each pound made her throat ache.

She didn't expect Fang Tian to have found this out.

Lu Jingshi's gaze shifted to Jiang Wan's deathly pale face...

His lips were pressed tightly together, and his brows and eyes betrayed a hint of irritation and a barely perceptible tension.

I hope she can explain something.

"Jiang Wan..."

"I'm sorry, Director Lu, Director Fang, this is my personal privacy, and you have no right to ask me to disclose it."

Lu Jingshi's heart sank lower and lower. He tried his best to control his emotions, but the more he tried, the more chaotic things became.

Fang Tian curled her lips into a smile: "Miss Jiang, you're overthinking it. I don't care how chaotic things were abroad. I just hope you'll let Ah Shi go and find someone else. Aren't you with Gu Yang..."

She paused her tactics for a moment, and could clearly see Lu Jingshi's brows furrowed tightly, and the veins on his forehead throbbing.

This is enough.

Jiang Wan ignored him and simply looked at Lu Jingshi quietly.

The latter seemed unaffected, remaining silent with unfocused eyes.

Jiang Wan waited for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

Her lips curled up, but the smile looked as if it were being pulled down by an invisible thread, making it extremely unsightly.

She's really despicable.

Even though he repeatedly mocked her for being delusional, she would still rush towards him without hesitation if he just beckoned with his finger.

Now, his silence has completely shattered her self-deception.

They've already ended things.

And there will never be a next time.

"Director Fang, I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds, but please believe me, we didn't sleep."

She lifted her shirt, revealing herself naked to Fang Tian.

His body was clean and white, without any trace of lovemaking.

"Jiang Wan, what are you doing?"

Lu Jingshi, who had just been lost in thought, instantly snapped back to reality, his gaze towards her dark and unfathomable.

Humiliation and injustice brought tears to Jiang Wan's eyes instantly, but she forced herself not to shed a tear here.

She slowly put down her clothes, picked up her bag and phone from the coffee table, and walked out without looking back.

Inside room 1808.

Qian Xianxian was fast asleep when she heard the noise and slowly got up.

"Hmm... why are you back?"

"Was it you who alerted me and saved me last night?"

Qian Xianxian nodded: "Those two bastards were no good back in school. I had to kick them out after sleeping with them once, and I can't believe they're still so worthless all these years."

"You too, why were you so close to them yesterday? Luckily I'm smart, otherwise you would have been eaten alive."

Jiang Wan threw herself onto the bed and closed her eyes.

All the events from five years ago flooded her like a burst dam, engulfing her completely.

That summer, an unexpected phone call interrupted her as she typed a text message.

Startled, she dropped the ultrasound report in her hand and hurriedly turned and went to the hospital entrance.

The house was already in complete chaos, filled with cries, sirens, and curses. With each step closer, it felt like getting one step closer to hell.

But she could only step inside.

In the courtyard, four or five policemen were pinning Jiang Yunsheng to the ground.

Grandma's face was ashen as she stared blankly at the wide-open warehouse door, from which blood flowed and pooled in the yard.

The strong smell of blood made people gag.

Jiang Wan took heavy steps, almost shuffling to the door, when a policewoman stopped her in time.

She only had time to see two pairs of terrified, ashen eyes.

One of them is my mother.

Before she could fully react, a woman grabbed her hair and started tearing at it wildly.

She recognized that voice all too well, and Jiang Wan instinctively covered her head.

"You little beast, your father killed my man, who will earn money for my son and me? Why don't you die with that bitch of a mother?"

"If you had died earlier, none of this would have happened."

"You slut who seduces men, I'll beat you to death."

Jiang Wan never resisted despite being beaten and scolded countless times throughout her life.

This time, however, she covered her head and squatted down, carefully protecting her lower abdomen.

Because she just found out she's pregnant.

Her child with Lu Jingshi.
