Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.
Chapter 78 They're treating me like their dad.
Under Jiang Wan's gaze, Qian Xianxian spoke again hesitantly.
"Sister Jiang Wan, don't you have a spare bedroom? Could you rent it to me?"
Jiang Wan frowned, but before she could refuse, Qian Xianxian spoke again.
"I can pay the rent. You give me your monthly rent payment records, and I'll split the cost in half, okay?"
Jiang Wan shook her head: "Your current place isn't far from the institute, and you don't have to pay a penny, so why do you still need to rent a house?"
Qian Xianxian pointed upstairs: "Being close to the water tower makes it easier to get the moonlight. I want to be closer to Brother Lu."
Jiang Wan's eyes crinkled into a smile. Qian Xianxian thought she had agreed and was about to pull her upstairs with her.
Jiang Wan pointed to the other side of the road and spoke again.
"There's a real estate agency there; they have a lot of listings for apartments in this complex. You can go see them yourself tomorrow. I don't like living with other people."
"No, I want to rent from you; you live closer."
Jiang Wan composed herself and looked at her seriously.
"Qian Xianxian, just because I treat you like a child and don't hold it against you, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Let me tell you, I'm in a really bad mood lately, so don't mess with me. Who do you think you are? You think I have to give you whatever you want?"
"If you want to act recklessly, go home and find your dad. I'm not your father, and I have no reason to indulge you. Get out of my way."
This was the first time Qian Xianxian had ever heard Jiang Wan say such harsh words.
I was momentarily stunned and forgot to refute him.
Jiang Wan pushed aside the woman blocking her way and walked towards the gate of the residential area.
It took Qian Xianxian a while to react. Furious, she turned around and shouted at Jiang Wan's back.
"Who do you think you are? You've been used and abused, you've had several abortions, what are you pretending to be, this innocent little lotus flower?"
Jiang Wan suddenly stopped and slowly turned around.
How did you know?
Seeing that she was getting anxious, Qian Xianxian couldn't help but feel smug.
"You've broken down, haven't you? So it was all true after all. You're not good enough for Brother Lu at all."
Jiang Wan looked at her and suddenly remembered!
When she came back with Lu Jingshi last time, Qian Xianxian appeared on the 18th floor suspiciously.
She said she was there to walk her dog.
But Summer had already been taken over by Lu Jingshi, who indicated that he no longer needed her.
Moreover... after I got back that day, I felt like the items in my suitcase had changed a bit.
"That day... you sneaked into my house and went through my things, didn't you?"
Qian Xianxian's face stiffened, and she immediately denied it: "Stop talking nonsense, I didn't."
"It's fine if you don't admit it, the property management has surveillance cameras, and... you didn't know, did you?"
Jiang Wan stared intently into her eyes.
"My smart door lock has a hidden camera that can not only check every unlocking record within the past year, but also take photos."
"Once I get the evidence, you'll be charged with burglary and spreading private information. Qian Xianxian, you're going to jail!"
After she finished speaking, she gave Qian Xianxian a pitying look, then turned and went upstairs.
Qian Xianxian's face turned deathly pale instantly, her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, and she was enveloped by immense fear and panic.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and, with trembling fingers, dialed Fang Tian's number.
"Jiang Wan found out, and she's going to sue me!"
The voice on the other end was languid: "Oh, I see."
"You know? What kind of attitude is this? Don't forget, I was instigated by you."
Qian Xianxian was furious and turned on speakerphone.
The voice from the other end came through clearly: "Qian Xianxian, what are you saying? I don't understand. You're also an intern at a law firm, don't you know that everything requires evidence? I'm busy, I don't have time to mess around with you."
The phone call was abruptly ended.
Qian Xianxian was both angry and anxious, her heart pounding wildly!
Yes, she also has transfer receipts and chat logs!
She quickly opened WeChat, found Fang Tian, but discovered that the registered phone number was different.
Moreover, apart from the photos she sent and the money transfers made by the other party, the other party hardly said a word in the entire chat history!
She opened the transfer page again, copied the card number, and discovered that the payer was not Fang Tian herself!
In other words, aside from those few verbal agreements in the office.
She has no written evidence to prove that Fang Tian instigated it!
Qian Xianxian was completely devastated. She hated Fang Tian's cunning and regretted her stupidity and impulsiveness just now!
If she goes to jail, her life will be ruined, and Brother Lu will definitely never look at her again!
After thinking about it for a long time, Qian Xianxian finally decided to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.
If Jiang Wan really wants to sue, then she should deny taking any photos or videos, since she doesn't believe there are surveillance cameras in Jiang Wan's room anyway.
If she's just giving me a warning and doesn't intend to sue, then I'll pretend nothing happened.
She calmed down a little, looked up, and stared resentfully at the lit window on the 18th floor.
…………
In the cemetery on the western outskirts of Haicheng.
Jiang Wan, dressed in black, gently placed a bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of a tombstone.
The photo on the tombstone is of an excessively young girl with vivid features and an innocent smile.
The tombstone was new, shiny and clean, and must have been carefully wiped clean.
The flowers and fruits on the ground were also very fresh.
"Lin Yue, it's me, Jiang Wan. I've come to see you."
"You may not know me, or you may have hated me without knowing it, but I'm sorry we meet in this way."
Yesterday, Xiao Wu messaged her that Lin Yue's body had been cremated.
His ashes were buried in this cemetery in the western suburbs.
She sat down gently in front of Lin Yue's grave, peeled an orange and placed it on the ground.
"I've seen your Weibo posts. You love eating oranges. Go ahead and try some. I've tasted them, and they're very sweet."
Jiang Wan sniffed.
"Now you must have seen the truth, right? You must know I'm innocent, but unfortunately you can't come to testify for me."
"Although I didn't do anything to hurt you, I still want to say sorry. If I had been more assertive and my opposition had been stronger, would the outcome have been different?"
Wang Yiran always says that she likes to impose responsibilities on herself, but Jiang Wan always feels heartache whenever she thinks of Lin Yue.
Such a young and beautiful life, gone just like that.
It was even treated as a major social news story, causing a great deal of discussion and unrest.
"Take a good rest. I'll come see you again after I prove my innocence. Don't you love Japanese food? I'll treat you to that restaurant I've always been reluctant to go to."
She sat quietly for a while longer, watching the sun sink below the western horizon.
Jiang Wan got up and patted the dirt off her clothes.
"I'm leaving. If you have any clues, remember to send them to me in a dream."
After Jiang Wan left, a figure emerged from behind a large tree not far from the tombstone.
She slowly moved to the front of the grave, her calloused old hands gently stroking the photograph.
"My Yueyue, even your mother doesn't know what your favorite food is."
"Don't worry, Mom will never give up on getting justice for you."
She turned her head, her gaze falling on the figure that had become so distant and somewhat blurry.
A complex and conflicted look appeared in his eyes.
