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

Jiang Wan doesn't remember how she got back to the hotel.

By the time she realized it, she was already sitting on the floor of the room.

My throat felt so blocked, like it was stuffed with a wad of water-soaked cotton. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't even utter a sob.

It felt like a sudden bolt from the blue, or perhaps it was a subconscious feeling that this was how it should be.

Two thoughts swirled in her mind, making her feel nauseous, and she lay on the ground retching.

Jiang Wan clutched her chest, lay back on the floor, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This world is insane!

For decades, the villagers have cursed and scorned the mother, and ByteDance has also endured dozens of disdainful looks and criticisms.

In the end, Jiang Yunsheng and Zhang Haiyun had a son eight years ago.

Then what about all those insults and beatings Zhang Haiyun inflicted when he was emotionally charged over the years?

Who exactly is the "husband" she's referring to when she says she "seduced someone else's husband"?

"Wanwan!"

Someone was banging on the door from outside, each bang more urgent than the last.

Jiang Wan's consciousness became increasingly unclear.

so tired.

I wish I could sleep forever and never wake up.

…………

The last day of each month is the family gathering day designated by Lu Guokun.

It wasn't time to leave work yet, but Fang Tian was already waiting outside Lu Jingshi's office.

Qian Xianxian peeked out from the doorway.

"Brother Lu, don't forget later, I've already made an appointment."

Lu Jingshi didn't look up, but gave a soft "hmm".

"Ah Shi, you're going home for dinner today. It's the date we set, and your aunt has already started preparing."

Fang Tian couldn't help but remind her.

"Ever since that incident, your aunt's mental state hasn't been very good, and you haven't been back to visit her in a long time."

Lu Jingshi remained expressionless, quickly signed his name on a document, and then spoke.

"I will go."

Then he looked up and pointed to Qian Xianxian outside the door.

"You'll come with me in a bit, and you'll lead the way."

Fang Tian grew increasingly anxious: "Qian Xianxian, what are you going to do? The director's time isn't for your nonsense."

"After get off work is my private time, and you have no right to know what I do, Director Fang."

Qian Xianxian shrugged: "Brother Lu, I'll wait for you in the underground parking garage."

Half an hour later, Fang Tian watched resentfully as Lu Jingshi drove Qian Xianxian away from the underground parking garage.

Qian Xianxian looked away and turned to ask, "Brother Lu, is Fang Tian your fiancée?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Jingshi glanced at Qian Xianxian in the back seat through the rearview mirror, his brows furrowed.

"That's good." Qian Xianxian was overjoyed to receive a definite answer. "Let's go pick up Summer first."

Today is the day Summer gets her injection.

Although Lu Jingshi is now in charge of Summer, he has never kept pets, so he still needs Qian Xianxian's help with things like vaccinations and checkups.

"Did you tell Jiang Wan that Summer got her injection today?"

"I said so."

"Then... remember to take a picture later."

In the pet clinic, Lu Jingshi held Summer's head tightly, while the young doctor secretly glanced at the man in front of him while giving him an injection.

This was truly the first time she had ever met a man like this.

He was so handsome that everyone's eyes were drawn to him the moment he entered the store.

He was dressed in a designer suit, tall and slender, with delicate and handsome features, and most importantly, he was so kind-hearted.

Everything was so perfect that it seemed as if Nuwa had created it specifically for her.

"Sir, your dog will have a reaction period of a few days after receiving the vaccine. I'll add you on WeChat so you can contact me anytime if any problems arise."

Alarm bells rang in Qian Xianxian's mind, and she immediately jumped over, having previously kept her distance.

"Our boss won't add anyone else, add me instead."

The doctor removed the IV and glanced at her: "We only contact the dog owner."

"Then he's not the dog owner, so you have even less reason to add him."

Lu Jingshi felt a slight stirring in his heart, took out his phone and sent a message to that familiar profile picture.

"I took Summer to get her vaccinations today. The vet said they'd contact the dog owner with any follow-up issues. Do you need my phone number?"

The other side replied very quickly.

"Huh? Why are you in charge? Wasn't Xianxian supposed to be taking care of the dog for me?"

The moment the message arrived, Lu Jingshi's lips curled up in a subconscious smile, but he quickly suppressed it halfway up.

"Qian Xianxian, have you sent the photos to Jiangwan Daily?"

Qian Xianxian nodded very naturally: "It's made money."

Lu Jingshi sneered and picked up Summer: "Liar, you don't need to worry about Summer anymore."

He turned to the doctor and said, "Scan my WeChat QR code."

Inside the Linwan Villa, Yu Qing was directing the servants to bring out the last soup.

Lu Jingshi's Maybach just happened to drive into the yard.

Fang Tian, ​​who was watching the news with Lu Guokun, was delighted and stood up to greet him.

"Ah Shi, you're back? I told your parents you'd be back after working a little overtime. Perfect timing, go wash your hands and have some dinner."

Her gaze slid over his collar, and she gently sniffed him as her nose drew near.

There was nothing unusual, except for a...disinfectant smell.

Lu Jingshi didn't notice her movements, opened the back door, and let Summer out.

Summer, suddenly free, excitedly dashed out, startling Fang Tian so much that her face paled.

"Summer, come back."

The dog obediently returned to Lu Jingshi's side, gently nuzzling his shoes with its head.

"Ah Shi, where did you pick up this dirty dog?" Fang Tian patted her chest, still shaken. "Your aunt won't allow it in, you'd better..."

Lu Jingshi naturally pushed her away and swaggered in, leading Summer through the door.

"You're finally back, I need to spend more time with you..."

Lu Guokun stopped talking when he saw the dog beside him. "Where did this mongrel come from?"

Yu Qing also noticed the commotion. Her gaze lingered on Summer for a moment before she spoke calmly.

"Alright, everyone, sit down and get ready to eat."

At the dinner table, Lu Guokun said he was going on a business trip abroad for a month and asked Yu Qing to get him a high-limit credit card.

Fang Tian's expression remained unchanged, but she kept glancing at Yu Qing.

It's likely that the business trip was just a pretense, and that he was really just trying to appease Shen Qing.

"Okay," Yu Qing said without looking up, "When were the plane tickets booked? When did the company buy them?"

"It's taking off the day after tomorrow. The secretary's office bought it this noon."

"Oh, I'm free that day too, I'll go with you. Sweetie, help me look at the plane tickets now."

Fang Tian agreed and took out her phone, but Lu Guokun snatched it away from her.
