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

22nd floor of Kairong Law Firm.

Lu Jingshi interrupted Fang Tian's business report, picked up the car keys on the table, and got up.

"I have something to do right now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Fang Tian bit her lower lip; she had just heard Qian Xianxian's voice on the receiver.

"Ah Shi, are you going to find Jiang Wan?"

Lu Jingshi glanced at her, said nothing, and walked out from in front of the table.

"Ah Shi, Jiang Wan isn't worth it! She's a liar!"

One sentence froze Lu Jingshi in his tracks. He turned around, his gaze cold and unfathomable.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Tian took out her phone and pulled up a few photos: "Do you remember these photos?"

The photo of Gu Yang accompanying Jiang Wan to the hospital showed a chaotic scene, and he didn't pursue the matter further.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Tian swiped left a few times and handed it over again.

"These are the test results from those hospitals. Ah Shi, your English isn't bad, you should be able to understand them, right?"

Lu Jingshi's gaze casually fell on the screen, and a dozen seconds later, he suddenly snatched Fang Tian's phone away.

Zoom in on the image and keep scrolling.

"That's not all."

Fang Tian took back her phone, tapped it twice, and held it up.

"Jiang Wan took a month's leave. The so-called personal matter was to consult about pregnancy at Anzhou Maternity Hospital. Gu Yang was by her side the whole time."

Under the high-definition surveillance, Gu Yang and Jiang Wan's faces were clearly visible!

Lu Jingshi stood there, like a statue, only his trembling fingers revealing the turmoil in his heart.

"Ah Shi, the relationship between Jiang Wan and Gu Yang is not just a simple friendship. Jiang Wan must have another purpose in returning to China. Ah Shi, you must not be fooled by her again."

Lu Jingshi took a deep breath, said nothing, and turned to walk out of the office.

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the Park Hyatt Hotel.

A Maybach came to an abrupt stop at the entrance, and the door was opened before the doorman could approach.

Lu Jingshi strode out of the car and tossed the car keys to him.

He quickly entered, pressed the elevator button, and went up to the 24th floor.

Qian Xianxian was already waiting at the elevator entrance. When she saw Lu Jing, she led him to the room door.

"Brother Lu, I've been watching from here the whole time. They're still inside."

Lu Jingshi raised his hand to knock on the door, but hesitated at the moment of lowering it.

Qian Xianxian panicked: "If you're too scared, I'll do it."

Her raised arm was stopped, and she looked at Lu Jingshi speechlessly.

"Brother Lu, it'll be too late if we wait any longer."

Lu Jingshi remained silent, his gaze fixed on the door before him, as if opening it meant giving up another possibility.

His hesitation made his figure appear somewhat stiff.

The sound of high heels came from inside the door, gradually approaching the entrance.

Qian Xianxian glared at Lu Jingshi with exasperation, then quickly left him and slipped into the nearby emergency exit.

Jiang Wan, who had changed into new clothes, insisted on transferring the money for the clothes to Gu Yang.

Looking at the balance in her bank account in the text message, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you still feeling unwell?"

Seeing that she kept scratching her arms and neck, Gu Yang couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Wan was also helpless; she was allergic to peaches, but the hotel's shower gel was white peach-flavored.

Although she rinsed it off immediately the moment she smelled it, her sensitive skin still itched uncontrollably.

"Should we go to the hospital?"

Jiang Wan nodded: "No need, I'll just buy two pills at the pharmacy on the way and I'll be fine. Don't worry."

In the past, she had allergies, and one allergy pill was enough to resolve them.

A phone rang, and Jiang Wan took her cell phone out of her bag. It was Wang Yiran calling.

"Excuse me, Gu Yang, I need to take this call."

Gu Yang nodded and walked to the elevator first.

Jiang Wan, holding her phone, walked into the fire escape.

"Hey, Lao Wang, what's up?"

Her voice echoed in the empty space.

After seeing Yu Qing today, she was in a bad mood, so she went to find Wang Yiran and hugged her, unable to help but tell her everything about her relationship with Lu Jingshi.

At that moment, I heard her exclaim "Fuck!" repeatedly.

She spent the whole afternoon pondering it, but still couldn't grasp it.

Jiang Wan listened to her finish speaking with a wry smile, then lowered her voice.

"Let's leave it at that. I don't need Lu Jingshi to compensate me for anything, and we won't rekindle our old relationship."

Even if she had harbored delusions in the past, Yu Qing did not hesitate to tear off her self-deception.

She clearly told herself that there were thousands of miles between her and Lu Jingshi.

He was an upper-class man who could stir up trouble with a wave of his hand, while I was just a lower-class person with a family that couldn't be brought into the open.

Occasional encounters have already used up all the luck she has in her life.

But Yu Qing didn't believe her and still thought she could easily manipulate her and force her to leave, just like before.

"She still thinks I'm as easy to bully as I was five years ago, so I simply asked her for 2500 million to buy her son's freedom."

Wang Yiran burst into laughter on the other end of the phone.

She could imagine how interesting Yu Qing's expression would be when she heard Jiang Wan being so angry with her.

"Alright. I have other things to do here, let's talk when we meet."

Jiang Wan smiled, hung up the phone, and turned to leave through the emergency exit.

A dead end on the stairs on the 23rd floor.

Qian Xianxian raised her eyes and stole a glance at Lu Jingshi.

His features were sharp and his face was expressionless, but the oppressive atmosphere around him was so low that Qian Xianxian couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Downstairs at the hotel, Jiang Wan and Gu Yang were waiting for the doorman to drive over.

I glanced casually to the side and suddenly spotted a luxury car that looked somewhat familiar.

A black Maybach with license plate ending in 29... I really think it's Lu Jingshi's car.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively turned around.

Lu Jingshi and Qian Xianxian were walking out of the hotel side by side...

Upon seeing Jiang Wan, Qian Xianxian scratched her head awkwardly.

Lu Jingshi's gaze lingered on Jiang Wan's flushed neck for a moment.

His eyes grew increasingly deep.

Jiang Wan guiltily brushed her long hair aside, trying to cover up the scratches that could be misunderstood.

Gu Yang, on the other hand, didn't seem embarrassed at all and extended his hand proactively: "Mr. Lu, it's been a long time. You're here with friends too?"

Lu Jingshi ignored him, put his arm around Qian Xianxian's waist, and pulled her closer to himself.

Almost instantly, Qian Xianxian pressed herself against him.

"Sorry, Xianxian and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

Lu Jingshi, with his arm around Qian Xianxian, walked past the two of them.

A sudden pang of sorrow gripped Jiang Wan's heart. Her throat tightened, her emotions caught in her throat, and even blinking felt heavy and bitter.

Gu Yang felt somewhat embarrassed and withdrew his hand, which had been hanging in the air.

"This young Mr. Lu has a really strange temper."

The black Maybach drove past them, but Lu Jingshi didn't even glance at it.

However, Qian Xianxian, who was standing next to him, waved her hand vigorously at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan felt a bitter taste in her mouth and lowered her eyes.

She cursed herself for being spineless, even though she knew there was no possibility of anything between them anymore.

Why does my heart ache so much when he ignores me...?
