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

"What are you doing here?"

Before Jiang Wan could answer, Fang Tian walked over and naturally straightened Lu Jingshi's tie.

"Jiang Wanlai, could you please say hello to Editor-in-Chief Guo? Is everything settled?"

Lu Jingshi did not answer her, but continued to look at Jiang Wan.

"You're really good at scheming, never missing an opportunity. What, thinking of changing careers?"

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, a look of helplessness in her eyes.

In his mind, he was someone who had already been sentenced to death.

No matter what you do, he sees it as having ulterior motives.

Editor-in-Chief Guo's eyes darted around twice, and he got up, intending to "play the hero and save the damsel in distress."

"Young people want to improve, that's only natural, Director Lu, calm down. Xiao Jiang, right? Let's add each other on WeChat, we can talk about it later."

"She doesn't have a cell phone!"

"I don't have WeChat!"

Lu Jingshi and Jiang Wan spoke in unison.

They then exchanged a glance, before quickly turning their faces away.

Fang Tian's expression darkened slightly as she looked at the two of them thoughtfully.

Lu Jingshi coughed lightly and took out his phone.

"Editor-in-Chief Guo, why don't you add me? I happen to have a dinner with Director Fang in a few days, and I would appreciate it if you could join me."

Editor-in-Chief Guo blinked: "You mean... Director Fang from the Radio and Television Bureau?"

"Indeed, Director Fang and the Lu family are old acquaintances. He just sent someone to deliver a flower basket, and I went out to make a phone call to express my gratitude. By the way, your station's General Manager Feng will also be attending, and Editor-in-Chief Guo will certainly do us the honor of attending."

Editor-in-Chief Guo, who had been somewhat displeased just moments before, immediately changed his tune.

With a broad smile, he took out his phone and scanned Lu Jingshi's WeChat QR code.

"Of course, of course. With Director Lu's invitation, how could I possibly refuse?"

Lu Jingshi nodded with a smile.

"In my private room, there are two boxes of top-quality pre-Qingming Longjing tea. Fang Tian, ​​would you like to take Editor-in-Chief Guo to try them?"

Editor-in-Chief Guo nodded repeatedly and happily followed Fang Tian to the private room.

Jiang Wan licked her lips as she looked at Lu Jingshi, whose face was not looking good.

"Thank you for earlier."

Even though Lu Jingshi is known for his sharp tongue, he was the one who actually helped out of that predicament this time.

"You're overthinking it. I just don't want your temper to offend people and implicate the institute."

Lu Jingshi took out a medicine box from his pocket, pinched out two pills and threw them into his mouth.

He looked around, took the juice from Jiang Wan's hand, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

He then casually tossed the cup onto the table.

The tumbling juice glass collided with the bowls and plates, making a crisp, fragile tinkling sound.

A mocking, disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Jiang Wan, you still love to be delusional."

......

Kairong's law firm building is located in a bustling area in the center of Haicheng City.

The glass curtain wall reflects the orange sunlight of the rising sun.

The light shone on the faces of people hurrying along the road.

Downstairs at Kairong Building, Jiang Wan rotated her slightly swollen ankle and looked up at her watch.

Today is her first day reporting to Kairong.

Last night before going to bed, Lu Jingshi suddenly sent her a WeChat message, asking her to wait for him downstairs at the law firm at 7:30.

It takes her an hour and a half to commute from where she lives.

Therefore, she got up at five o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, more than forty minutes had passed, but Lu Jingshi was still nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Wan wrapped her cardigan tighter around herself, yawning repeatedly.

When they reached the sixth one, Lu Jingshi's black Mercedes-Benz finally appeared at the intersection.

The car came to a steady stop in front of Jiang Wan.

Lu Jingshi wore a champagne-colored silk shirt paired with well-tailored, flowing trousers.

It accentuated his tall, elegant figure, making him appear exceptionally noble.

Just as Jiang Wan was about to step forward and speak, the passenger door was pushed open.

The radiant Fang Tian walked down gracefully.

She wore a dress in the same color as Lu Jingshi's shirt, which accentuated her shapely figure.

Her walk is graceful and charming.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Jiang, we're late. We spent too much time choosing clothes this morning, and Ah Shi didn't even remind me. I'm really sorry."

She apologized, but there wasn't a trace of remorse on her face.

His tone was flat, as if he were discussing today's weather.

Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat as she recalled the gossip her colleagues had been having about Lu Jingshi and Fang Tian at the party.

It seems their relationship is far more complex than the gossip suggests.

They...it seems they're living together.

She subconsciously looked at Lu Jingshi, as if hoping he would say something.

Lu Jingshi remained calm, and his occasional glances were devoid of any warmth.

It was as if they were looking at an insignificant object.

Jiang Wan's heart sank, and she suddenly understood.

At the banquet a few days ago, I made Fang Tian lose face in front of Editor-in-Chief Guo.

Although Lu Jingshi smoothed things over, Fang Tian was probably very unhappy.

This morning's show of force was probably his way of getting revenge for Fang Tian.

Jiang Wan forced a smile and said softly, "It's okay, I just arrived too."

"That's good. The restaurant is on the 14th floor. Let me tell you about Ah Shi's current eating habits, after all... his tastes have changed a long time ago."

Jiang Wan gave a faint "hmm" and followed behind the two.

Lu Jingshi glanced at her quickly, taking advantage of the opportunity to turn around as he got on the elevator.

His gaze fell on her ankle, and he frowned imperceptibly.

Kairong truly deserves its reputation as the leading law firm in Jiangxi Province.

Not only does it occupy an entire building, but it also has an employee cafeteria.

The food is plentiful, with both Chinese and Western options available.

At this moment, there were already quite a few cattle and horses in the restaurant that had arrived at 8 a.m.

As the three entered, people kept coming over to greet Lu Jingshi.

Jiang Wan grabbed two slices of rye bread and a cup of coffee, wanting to get away from them.

But as soon as he turned around, Lu Jingshi's gaze swept over him coolly.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit opposite the two of them.

Fang Tian skillfully picked up an egg and began to peel it.

"Ms. Jiang, the assistant to the director at Kairong is not only responsible for work-related matters, but also has to take care of all the big and small things that the director does every day."

"For example, Ah Shi now only eats Chinese food, doesn't drink coffee, and certainly doesn't eat these dry breads."

Jiang Wan was somewhat surprised.

In the past, when Lu Jingshi was busy, he would keep going with bread and black coffee.

I've reminded him countless times to eat well and take care of his health, but he always just gives perfunctory replies.

They just do whatever they can when they're not around.

Unexpectedly, he now listens to Fang Tian so much.

"I remember."

Lu Jingshi glanced at Jiang Wan's plate, feeling somewhat annoyed.

"Attorney Jiang has been abroad for several years, surely you can't even get used to Chinese food anymore?"

Jiang Wan frowned slightly.

What is he looking for this time?

I simply pretended not to hear and looked down to stir my coffee.

"Could it be that the Chinese chefs at Kai Rong are not up to Attorney Jiang's standards?"

"Oh, I forgot, Attorney Jiang is an elite returnee from overseas. He developed a discerning palate after spending several years abroad, so he's naturally particular about food."

"But Attorney Jiang, don't forget, this is China, not your dazzling and confusing foreign country. You should change these habits as soon as possible."

Jiang Wan bit her lower lip speechlessly.

When will he ever stop?
