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

At that time, Lu Jingshi was at a crucial moment in the opening and listing of his firm, and he was extremely busy.

I spend about twenty days a month traveling for work.

After Jiang Wan realized that something was wrong with her body, she didn't tell him rashly. She waited for the hospital's test results to come out before telling him, so as not to be disappointed.

However, Yu Qing knew about it before Lu Jingshi.

This is Lu Jingshi's mother, whom I've only ever seen in the news.

That day, she had just returned from the detention center. In the visiting room, Zhang Haiyun's words made her feel desperate and helpless.

"300 million. If it's less than a penny, I won't issue a letter of understanding. Your father will have to pay with his life."

"If your dad's gone, see if your grandma can still live? You little bitch, don't think you can forgive me so easily. This is what your mother owes me in this lifetime, and it's time for her to pay it back."

"I'll give you a month. If you can't raise 300 million, you're on your own."

Grandma cried so hard she fainted several times, and when she woke up she kept calling her son's name.

She could only cry freely when she returned to the home that belonged to her and Lu Jingshi every night.

But one day, she opened the door and saw a beautiful woman with an indifferent expression.

My clothes were scattered all over the floor, and my painstakingly prepared thesis was torn into pieces like waste paper and scattered on the ground.

The only intact piece of paper... was an ultrasound report on the table.

Jiang Wan rushed over, grabbed the form, and stuffed it into her bag.

She stared numbly at the mess on the ground; the days of running around and setbacks had left her unable to muster any anger.

She squatted down and picked up the scraps of paper one by one.

After picking up the last piece, she broke down emotionally, collapsed to the ground, covered her face, and cried helplessly and desperately.

"Auntie, breaking into someone's room is illegal, and damaging someone else's property is even more of a crime."

Yu Qing gave her a condescending look: "Destroying other people's things is a crime, so doesn't that mean your mother, who specializes in destroying other people's families, deserved to die?"

Jiang Wan suddenly raised her head.

"Before I came here, I thoroughly examined you from head to toe. You come from a poor family, your family is filthy, and your bloodline is lowly. Do you even deserve to give birth to a child of the Lu family?"

"Abort the child, break up with Ah Shi. You two are from different worlds, don't drag him down with you."

"A mother who seduces men her whole life, a useless, murderous father, Jiang Wan, how can I believe that such a stinking ditch could produce a delicate flower like you? I've seen plenty of people like you when I was young."

Her eyes were cold, a sneer played on her lips, and her face was full of disdain and mockery, as if she were watching an insignificant farce.

Jiang Wan pressed the back of her hand against her eyes, wiped away her tears, tilted her head back, and forced the heat in her eyes back.

"Auntie, Lu Jingshi definitely won't fall for your act, that's why you came to me, right?"

She slowly stood up.

"I want to hear Lu Jingshi tell me he wants to break up with me. Please leave now, or I'll call the police and your son will know you came to see me today."

"You definitely don't want him to know, right?"

Yu Qing narrowed her eyes, her lips pressed tightly together, gave a cold snort, and left with her entourage.

What happened next was completely unexpected by Jiang Wan.

Because someone had died in the old house, no one dared to buy it; it was listed with a real estate agency for a month without any interest.

The prosecutor's office came to communicate with her, hoping that her family could obtain a letter of understanding, which would be helpful in sentencing.

Zhang Haiyun actually hired a well-known lawyer from within the province.

The other party was adamant, and despite multiple rounds of negotiation, they agreed to pay every penny.

When Grandma heard that she might be sentenced to death, she became so agitated that she suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, and the surgery would cost a lot of money.

When she couldn't hold on any longer, she would call Lu Jingshi.

But his phone was either unreachable, or he would answer and then quickly hang up after saying "I'm socializing."

In that month or so, she lost a full twenty pounds.

Years of savings were spent like water, and the hospital issued an ultimatum: if the patient didn't pay and have the surgery, they would be discharged.

Looking at his grandmother on the hospital bed, her eyes cloudy and her life hanging by a thread, pleading with him to save Jiang Yunsheng.

She sat on the hospital rooftop until dawn.

No one knows how many times Jiang Wan mustered up the courage to completely break free during that night of wandering and stopping, only to grit her teeth and force herself to return from the edge of the rooftop.

But after daybreak, she went to the Lu Group on her own initiative.

Yu Qing was not surprised at all by her arrival.

When she heard about the demand for 300 million, she just smiled and shook her head.

"Jiang Wan, have you been watching too much TV? 300 million to buy your breakup? Rich people aren't stupid. As long as I keep you on hold and let the other party put pressure on you, you won't be able to hold on."

Jiang Wan looked at her desperately: "Then what do you want?"

Yu Qing stared at her intently and took out a medical examination report from the drawer.

"You know that Ah-Shi inherited his father's family's kidney disease, right?"

Jiang Wan nodded. She had always known and had been accompanying him during his daily treatments. He was doing very well at the moment.

"I contacted Ah-Shi's private doctor. We've been waiting for a donor for the past few years. I need you to get a match. If it's successful, you can donate to Ah-Shi."

Jiang Wan's eyes widened suddenly.

"After the surgery, the 300 million will be deposited into the account immediately. I will also have my lawyer negotiate a lower price for that woman. By then, not only will we have the compensation money, but we will also have the money for your grandmother's surgery and be able to support you in finding a job abroad and settling down."

"I'm going abroad?"

Yu Qing remained noncommittal, patiently watching her.

The office was well-cooled, but Jiang Wan felt a sticky heat suffocating her throat, leaving her feeling weak and suffocated.

The hospital's payment reminder popped up at just the right time. Jiang Wanqiang suppressed the excruciating pain in her heart and took a deep breath.

"I agree."

What followed was incredibly smooth; she and Lu Jingshi became a couple.

She underwent two surgeries in just five days.

Before the anesthesia began for the final surgery, she sent Lu Jingshi that breakup text message.

After I woke up, my uncle called to say that my grandmother's surgery had gone smoothly.

With Zhang Haiyun receiving the money and writing a letter of understanding, Jiang Yunsheng will most likely receive a suspended sentence.

One piece of good news after another flooded into her ears, but her heart ached terribly, more so than the wound on her waist.

The next day, Yu Qing sent someone to deliver her departure plane ticket.

And so, penniless and wounded, she went abroad...

"Hey, why are you still crying? Didn't they fail?"

Qian Xianxian's words completely pulled Jiang Wan out of her memories.

She sat up, took out her phone, and went to the bathroom to call Wang Yiran.

Half an hour later, Lu Jingshi sent Fang Tian away and came to knock on the door.

"Brother Lu, you came to see me? Are we going to have dinner together? I need to change my clothes."

"Let's go together, where's Jiang Wan?"

"Sister Jiang Wan has already left. Oh, right, she said she'd give this back to you."

Qian Xianxian brought over a bag and handed it to him.

Lu Jingshi opened it and found a set of luxury brand sportswear, a designer dress, and several pieces of jewelry.

I bought these for her myself in the last couple of days.

Lu Jingshi's nerves tensed instantly: "When did she leave?"

"It's been half an hour."
