Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 171 Five Years and Wedding Dress

The matte gray Mercedes-Benz G63 slowly drove into the B1 floor of the Spring Eye sub-tower. After Miao Ying stopped the car at the door of the reception room of the dedicated garage, Chen Mei, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately stepped forward to help Zhou Wang open the car door.

"Mr. Zhou, welcome home!"

At the same time, two rows of property staff behind her bowed to Zhou Wang in unison.

One of the pretty girls in uniform even ran up and gave Zhou Wang a bouquet of flowers covered with dew.

"What's going on?" Zhou Wang, holding the flowers, was a little surprised.

"You've been gone for a week, so this is the proper welcome ceremony." Chen Mei smiled, "The bouquet I sent you was picked from the terrace on the 71st floor. I hope you don't mind."

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "How could I dislike my own things? I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thank you."

"Miss Jiang is already waiting for you upstairs."

After Chen Mei bowed slightly again, she led the way.

Zhou Wang nodded. He had already seen the brand new black Panamera in the garage... Jiang Qingkui did not buy the most common white color, which was a bit beyond Zhou Wang's expectation.

After waiting for a while for Miao Ying who came jogging over, Zhou Wang walked into the elevator with the property staff lining up to see him off.

They took the exclusive elevator to the 70th floor. After the elevator door opened, Chen Mei made a please gesture and stopped. Miao Ying noticed something and stopped too.

Zhou Wang didn't pay any attention and walked all the way inside. When he came to the western restaurant following the sound, he was stunned.

Jiang Qingkui, dressed in a professional outfit and a thin black silk suit, was already waiting at the restaurant entrance. Her pretty face with light makeup was incredibly beautiful under the light of the chandelier. Even though the two of them had begun to become familiar with each other, Zhou Wang still lost his mind for a moment.

Besides her, there were three other people in the restaurant.

One is a bearded chef and his assistant busy at the dining table, and the other is a strange woman in a formal dress holding a violin.

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Qingkui, this is..."

"Mr. Zhou, you must have had a hard journey. This is the dinner I prepared for you to relieve your fatigue. I hope you will be satisfied."

Jiang Qingkui smiled slightly and explained softly.

"A relaxing dinner?" Zhou Wang laughed. "Interesting... What do you want to eat?"

“Kyoto Wagyu from the Land of Sakura.”

Jiang Qingkui led Zhou Wang to the dining table and first introduced the bearded chef who was obviously a foreigner, "Mr. Aaron, the head chef of the Western restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and his assistant."

After the two chefs bowed slightly to Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang looked at the three pieces of beef on the table with interest, which were being tormented in the hands of the young assistant:
"Is this the legendary Sakura Country Wagyu?"

In modern society, beef has gradually become the mainstream meat. There are many famous types of beef in the world, and Wagyu from the Land of Sakura is undoubtedly the best among them.

Although Zhou Wang had never eaten it, he had heard of it.

It is said that these Wagyu cattle not only grow up in a fairyland-like pasture, but also listen to music and bathe in hot spring water every day. They have all kinds of high-end treatments, and live better than many people...

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, if you take a closer look, you should be able to find that there are some differences between these three pieces of beef." Jiang Qingkui said with a smile.

"It does seem to be a bit... although the quality seems to be very good." Zhou Wang took a closer look and then nodded.

"These three pieces of beef come from the three most representative top-grade Wagyu beef in the Land of Sakura: Omi beef, Matsusaka beef and Kobe beef."

Jiang Qingkui explained: "Because I'm not sure which one you would like to eat, I asked them to prepare both at the chef's suggestion."

"Of course I've never eaten any of them, so I really want to try them all. Qingkui, you know me very well!"

Zhou Wang smiled and praised: "This arrangement is very good."

Jiang Qingkui smiled slightly and introduced the woman next to him, "Julie, the violinist from Hong Kong, will perform live music to liven up your dinner."

The woman nodded at Zhou Wang and smiled elegantly.

Zhou Wang smiled back and looked at Jiang Qingkui with an inexplicable gaze, "Qingkui, your arrangements are too detailed. I even feel a little flattered..."

“Are you questioning my ability to adapt and learn?”

Faced with Zhou Wang's slightly teasing words, Jiang Qingkui just smiled faintly and replied in a teasing tone.

As he spoke, Jiang Qingkui walked to the long dining table and pulled out a chair for Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang didn't say anything more, but seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that after going to Jingcheng, Jiang Qingkui's attitude towards him has changed subtly. Anyway, it must not be just because she has studied relevant courses...

For some things, the most important thing is to have the intention.

"You should also sit down and eat together."

Seeing Jiang Qingkui still standing, Zhou Wang said casually.

"it is good."

Jiang Qingkui did not refuse. He smiled and walked to the side, picked up the decanted red wine and poured a glass for Zhou Wang.

"Good Wagyu beef should be paired with wine. This bottle of wine from Cote d'Ivoire in Burgundy, France, was also recommended by the chef. There is a very famous village there. You should have heard of it, Vosne-Romanée..."

“Romanee-Conti?”

The legendary king of red wine, who is on the same level as Lafite, of course Zhou Wang knew about it.

After all, this is written in many novels. Currently, it costs about 200,000 yuan per bottle...

"That's right, but the bottle I'm opening for you is not Chateau-Conti. It's from another exclusive estate of the Chateau-Conti family, called Treading Snow."

"How much is this wine?" Zhou Wang asked curiously.

"28888."

"Where's the beef?"

Hearing the number Jiang Qingkui reported, Zhou Wang clicked his tongue and asked another question.

"That depends on how much you eat. The price is 8,000 yuan per kilogram."

Jiang Qingkui replied with a faint smile.

It's really a luxury. One kilogram of beef costs an average person two months' salary...

As for the bottle of red wine costing more than 20,000 yuan, it was actually within Zhou Wang's expectations. After all, it was not the first or second time that he had been "sucked away". It would be a low grade to care about these things while enjoying himself.

Besides, it’s hard to say that the beef is not the main portion. There are three people here, so service charge must be paid.

"By the way, Miao Ying..." After Jiang Qingkui sat down beside him, Zhou Wang remembered something.

"She has some too. Sister Mei will deliver it to her room later."

As soon as Zhou Wang opened his mouth, Jiang Qingkui knew what he wanted to ask and answered him.

Zhou Wang nodded. At this time, the beef on the iron plate had been fried and was served to the table by the chef after being served along with some simple seasonal vegetables.

After Zhou Wang's signal, the woman holding the violin also began to play.

She had only uttered a few syllables when Zhou Wang was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qingkui thought Zhou Wang felt something was wrong, so he asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, I just think it's a coincidence..."

Zhou Wang smiled and waved his hand.

"Ok?"

Jiang Qingkui was a little confused, and Zhou Wang didn't explain.

What a coincidence, because the first piece the violinist played was the "Canon" he played last night...

But speaking of it, the song "Canon" is really magical. Sad people can hear sadness from it, and happy people can feel joy from it. It is very suitable for various scenarios.

He took a sip of the wine first to moisten his appetite. It tasted pretty good. It was definitely better than the Yunnan dry red wine that cost dozens of yuan a bottle in the supermarket. But Zhou Wang couldn't taste the taste even if he drank more.

The main purpose of drinking is to remove the bad breath in the mouth. In fact, Jiang Qingkui also suggested that Zhou Wang brush his teeth, but Zhou Wang was too lazy to do it...

Cut off a piece of beef, and there are only two simple dipping sauces:

A dish of salt and a dish of soy sauce.

This is also what Jiang Qingkui said, the higher quality the beef, the more you should eat its original flavor. Too much dipping sauce will ruin the taste.

So Zhou Wang, who usually loves spicy food, chose not to dip it in anything and just put it in his mouth.

Compared to 70-81 kilograms of beef, the biggest difference is... tenderness.

Very tender.

And juicy.

If you chew it carefully, you can taste a faint milky aroma.

In short, it's like chewing Xuanmai, so smooth that you can't stop...

As the elegant violin played, Zhou Wang briefly transformed himself into an upper-class man and ate one piece after another until the plate was empty, and he still felt a little unsatisfied.

But it was just the taste buds; in reality, he was already very full.

During the process, Jiang Qingkui didn't eat much. Most of the time, he just rested his chin on his hand, looking at Zhou Wang with a smile, or thoughtfully handed him a napkin during a break.

Incredibly gentle.

"To be honest, Qingkui, I'm a little...uncomfortable with you being like this."

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Wang leaned back on the custom-made Minotti dining chair worth five thousand yuan, wiped his mouth, and still felt a little uneasy.

"This is what I should do as your secretary."

Jiang Qingkui just smiled.

"You're not really using me as a test subject for 'child psychology', are you?"

Zhou Wang was suspicious.

"How could that be? You are my boss." Jiang Qingkui smiled unchanged, "It is my job to provide you with meticulous and proper service."

“It would be nice if the service could be upgraded someday…”

Zhou Wang glanced at the other person's pair of sexy legs wrapped in black stockings and muttered something.

Jiang Qingkui obviously heard it. She glanced at Zhou Wang and crossed her long legs. From Zhou Wang's perspective, an indescribable shadow passed by him in a trance. Then Jiang Qingkui smiled softly and said:

"Maybe I'll figure it out someday, you can look forward to it."

Damn it?

Zhou Wang glanced sideways, and a little yearning really arose in his heart...

Then he realized that something was wrong. Wasn't he being fooled?

Damn, why are men so easy to manipulate...

However, Zhou Wang was not particularly surprised by Jiang Qingkui's subtle changes. After all, there were traces to follow.

First of all, in terms of loyalty, Jiang Qingkui, who initially had only 70 points of loyalty, has now increased to 78 points.

Secondly, Zhou Wang had already given Jiang Qingkui the course link attached to the resume. Given the other party's intelligence, he would definitely absorb the relevant professional knowledge very quickly.

For example, today's dinner arrangement with a slight sense of design can be regarded as one of the stage learning results.

Her basic personality has not changed, but she is trying to get along with Zhou Wang in a way that makes him more comfortable, including responding to his jokes with a hint of color, which can be considered one of her changes.

After the chef and the violinist left, Chen Mei came over to clean up the table. At this time, Jiang Qingkui restrained his smile, took out his shorthand notebook and started talking about business:

"Mr. Zhou, your current schedule is as follows. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, you will go to Mingcheng Intermediate Court to listen to a case..."

"The day after tomorrow, you will go to the Mingcheng branch of the No. 77 Supercar Club. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series you ordered has arrived, and you need to go and inspect it..."

"On the 11th, we will set off for Hangzhou, but..."

When he said this, Jiang Qingkui paused.

"What is the problem?"

Zhou Wang, who had his eyes slightly closed, opened his eyes and said in surprise.

"Wuyou Night" starts on the 17th, but Zhou Wang definitely cannot go on that date. Firstly, he needs to go to the headquarters of Wuyou Media to handle the job performance procedures, and the system also has a "job gift package" waiting for him there.

Secondly, it was because Zhou Wang still lacked a relatively formal set of clothes.

He had bought formal clothes from LV before, but those were more casual styles, and the style of this kind of ready-to-wear clothes was not high-end enough. At least for this annual ceremony where Zhou Wang appeared as a shareholder, it was not up to standard...

I might end up wearing the same clothes as some internet celebrity, how embarrassing that would be...

Speaking of this, Zhou Wang felt like complaining.

Employees under him, such as Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenxi, all had decent haute couture dresses in advance because of the intervention of the system. Although they were not completely haute couture, but just tailor-made based on semi-finished products, they were at least enough for most occasions.

On the contrary, Zhou Wang, the boss, currently does not have any formal wear that can be considered high-end luxury.

To this end, Jiang Qingkui specially contacted Brioni's brand store in Hangzhou in advance, hoping to help Zhou Wang prepare a suitable dress by paying extra money to speed up the work.

BRIONI, a luxury menswear brand from Rome, Italy, has a high status in the custom-made market and is one of the top luxury menswear brands, on par with Armani and Zegna.

This brand is worn by Hollywood stars including former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the actor who plays 007.

There really is no clothing customization store of the corresponding level in Mingcheng, so the only way to solve this problem is to fly to Hangzhou a few days in advance.

Judging from Jiang Qingkui's tone now, it seems that something went wrong somewhere.

"Today, the manager of Brioni Hangzhou store called me to apologize. Mr. Fabio, the senior tailor of the brand who had been contacted, may not be able to come from Italy in time due to changes in his schedule..."

"Has the itinerary changed?" Zhou Wang frowned. "I remember you told me before that the deposit had been paid, right?"

"Yes, the deposit has been returned."

Jiang Qingkui nodded and reported softly: "The plan that the Brioni store manager has given me is to prepare a set of formal clothes for you to wear temporarily based on your height, weight and other basic data. As for the formal handmade customization, we will wait until the tailor of Fabio has time to come to China..."

“It’s kind of funny.”

Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows, "Is this fiat currency Euro so awesome? Does it require me to coordinate his time?"

"If you mean his position in the industry, then that's fine. I guess the reason he changed his schedule was to serve the more important clients in his eyes..."

"It doesn't matter what the reason is. Just pass it, Briony."

Zhou Wang shook his head. "What's the backup plan?"

He believed that since Jiang Qingkui mentioned it, there must be other solutions, so he asked directly.

"With lower requirements, there are still many options."

Jiang Qingkui quickly replied, "It's a bit too late to make a custom-made, handmade formal suit from a top luxury brand, plus the time it takes to make an appointment and take measurements. But if you choose to make a custom-made semi-finished suit, most brands are willing to provide you with the most thoughtful service."

"For example, the person in charge of Hermès in Mingcheng area said that if you need it, he can even arrange for a designer and a tailor to come to your home and provide a satisfactory solution for your clothing selection this time." Jiang Qingkui's last sentence has already explained her inclination. Zhou Wang nodded after understanding it.

"Okay, then contact Hermes."

In terms of the men's custom-made clothing track alone, Hermès is slightly inferior to Brioni, but in terms of comprehensive strength, Hermès is bound to beat Brioni. A set of Hermès semi-haute couture is not lower than Zhou Wang's level.

There is a reason why Hermes is so warm to Zhou Wang.

Originally, Zhou Wang was just an entry-level member of Hermès. After all, he had only purchased a few sets of clothes and a bag before, and barely reached the VIP threshold of one million a year.

Hermès' shopping guides provided door-to-door service at that time, mainly because they saw Zhou Wang's consumption potential.

His address is enough to explain everything.

But after the third round of action started, the system intervened strongly, and the dresses, bags and work clothes prepared for Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenxi were all Hermès.

This also led to Zhou Wang's status in Hermès rising sharply. The continuous expedited orders sent from the headquarters have already raised his internal rating to the forefront of VIC.

The consumption threshold of VIC is 10 million per year, but with the influence of the system, Zhou Wang’s internal status in the brand has gone far beyond this.

It was only August, but Zhou Wang's personal mailbox had already received VIP invitations to all important Hermès events for the coming year, including various fashion shows around the world, internal evaluation meetings, and VIC feedback events.

If he has time later, Zhou Wang would still be happy to go to those relatively private fashion shows.

It’s just that Zhou Wang doesn’t have the energy to pay attention to this aspect for the time being.

"it is good."

After Jiang Qingkui wrote it down, the matter was temporarily resolved. She then asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"

"There is one thing."

When Jiang Qingkui heard that Zhou Wang really had something to tell him, he leaned forward and immediately became focused.

"You and Xu Wenxi should cooperate and figure out the procedures. I want to set up a charity fund... Oh, by the way, where's Xu Wenxi? Hasn't she come back yet?"

Zhou Wang was halfway through his speech when he suddenly remembered that he had missed his assistant.

And given Xu Wenxi's personality, there was no way she would not come to greet him if he came back.

"She said that you were busy when she called you today so she couldn't get through. So she told me that she might need to take two more days off because she hadn't dealt with things at home yet... Of course, if you don't approve, I'll tell her."

"Dealing with family matters?"

Zhou Wang frowned, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "It's no problem to approve the leave, but Qingkui, can you help me find out what kind of problem she encountered..."

"Okay, I'll figure it out and report back to you."

"Well, let me continue. Let's set up a charity fund. The first phase of investment will be around 80 million. You should draw up a plan first, and then we can discuss it..."

Even if he donated 10 million to Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School, there would still be a lot of Zhou Wang's 100 million special donation fund left. Instead of doing it here and there, it would be better to set up a special fund to operate it.

Donating to others is not always so reassuring. Although there is a system of invisible supervision, we should try to make every penny go to where it should go...

That's why Zhou Wang came up with this idea.

After Jiang Qingkui agreed, Zhou Wang stretched and stood up, planning to take a bath first.

I didn't have time to clean up last night, but there are still a lot of traces left on his body. It's still a bit uncomfortable to think about it...

But Zhou Wang took two steps and saw Jiang Qingkui still standing there. Noticing that he was hesitant to speak, Zhou Wang asked in surprise, "What else?"

"It's just... I want to discuss something with you. If you don't regret it... I've already brought the suitcase."

When Jiang Qingkui said this, he lowered his head slightly, unnaturally for the first time tonight.

Zhou Wang was stunned at first, then he realized what Jiang Qingkui meant. She wanted to move in...

This was equivalent to sending out another signal that she was indeed not as wary of Zhou Wang as she was at the beginning.

"What did I think it was?"

Zhou Wang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Of course, you can pick any of the vacant guest rooms on the first or second floor. Ask Sister Mei to help you arrange it. I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, Zhou Wang turned and left.

Jiang Qingkui, who was standing there, was slightly stunned.

She originally thought that after she made such a request, given Zhou Wang's personality, he would probably tease her a few words...

It was because he had made such mental preparation that Jiang Qingkui felt a little embarrassed.

Who would have thought that Zhou Wang would be so calm, as if he didn't think it was a big deal...

Inexplicably, Jiang Qingkui felt a little lost.

But the problem remained. She still didn't know what she was missing...

At this time, Chen Mei, who had finished packing, came over and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, your luggage should be in the car. I'll ask someone to bring it up for you."

"Okay...wait, I'll go with you."

Jiang Qingkui responded subconsciously at first, then realized something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him.

"Uh, Miss Jiang, you just wait here..."

"No, um, I want to take a walk..."

Faced with Chen Mei's confusion, Jiang Qingkui could only make up an excuse.

She couldn't just say that there was a bag in her trunk full of her toys and it wasn't appropriate for others to touch it...

The main reason is that Jiang Qingkui is still unsure whether she has zipped up the bag properly...

……

The next morning, Zhou Wang got up on time at eight o'clock, went to the gym first, put on a blindfold and lifted the weights for a while.

He had been a bit neglectful during this time at home, and the muscle lines that had begun to take shape had become a little loose, but fortunately it was not a big problem, and with the help of the tape he could recover in two or three days.

After exercising and eating the breakfast carefully prepared by Chen Mei, Zhou Wang went down to the basement by himself without Miao Ying, took out the key of the Bentley Continental GT, and got into this relatively rarely used two-door coupe.

The advantage of having someone to take care of the garage is that all the vehicles parked here are extremely clean no matter what time it is.

As far as Zhou Wang knew, the guy at the service desk would come to clean it several times a day when he had nothing to do. For this reason, Zhou Wang didn't care that he took a lot of photos with his car and posted them on WeChat Moments to show off...

Anyway, there are so many bitches in this world, Zhou Wang can’t bump into them all by himself.

It's not bad to have someone do a little decoration for you.

After getting up this morning, Zhou Wang took a look at his [Reputation Value] and found that it had exceeded 8,000.

In addition to the 5,000 points brought by the official briefing of Jingcheng, the market has increased by more than 1,000 points from last night to today.

If he saves up more, he can exchange it for the advanced [Universal Resume].

Driving a Jet Stream Blue Continental GT, Zhou Wang followed the navigation all the way to Mingcheng Intermediate Court.

After parking the car, Zhou Wang followed the staff's instructions to the trial waiting room. He immediately saw Jiang Mo sitting quietly on a bench.

Today she was wearing a clean white long dress, which was simple and elegant yet revealed a hint of nobility. It was quite different from her previous style, and Zhou Wang was stunned.

But then, what emerged in Zhou Wang's heart was a surge of longing.

Even when he met Su Yajing, Zhou Wang had never had such a strong feeling.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Wang stood there for several seconds before he managed to suppress his rising emotions. He walked over with a smile and first greeted Wang Hongying and Gao Zhenbang who were standing next to her.

"Professor Wang, Lawyer Gao, we meet again..."

Seeing Zhou Wang, Wang Hongying and Gao Zhenbang both stood up. Wang Hongying held Zhou Wang's hand and complained with a smile:

"Zhou Wang, I finally see you again. The teacher has been waiting for you to come to dinner at home, and has been waiting for you for a long time..."

Because of her relationship with Jiang Mo, Wang Hongying's attitude towards Zhou Wang can naturally become closer, and Gao Zhenbang has to appear much more formal.

"Mr. Zhou, this should be the first time we meet, but for me, it can be regarded as a long-standing spiritual friendship with you."

Gao Zhenbang said with a smile.

"Professor Wang, Lawyer Gao, I'm sorry, I've been really busy recently and only returned to Mingcheng yesterday..."

After the last time, Wang Hongying called him many times, repeatedly inviting Zhou Wang to visit her home in the name of the couple. However, Zhou Wang really didn't have much time, so he explained it with some apology at this time.

"I know you're busy. Jiang Mo said she couldn't even see you. How could the teacher really blame you?"

Wang Hongying smiled and said, "You talk to Jiang Mo first. We need to sort out the materials. We can talk about anything after the trial is over."

Zhou Wang nodded, and at this moment, a hand reached out and gently grabbed Zhou Wang's fingers.

Zhou Wang turned around and looked at Jiang Mo, who had stood beside him at some point. She didn't have much expression, but there seemed to be mist in her eyes.

Zhou Wang didn't know why, but he could understand all the emotions in her eyes at a glance.

Missing, worrying, uneasy, looking forward to...

Zhou Wang felt a little distressed for some reason, so he hugged her gently. After thinking about it, he couldn't help it. Zhou Wang didn't bother to care about the fist-sized camera in the corner, and kissed the corner of Jiang Mo's lips gently again.

"It's okay. Don't you still believe in Professor Wang's ability?"

Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Besides, judging from what you usually share with me, there is still hope for a sentence reduction."

"Um……"

Jiang Mo nodded slightly, and after Zhou Wang pulled her to sit down, she leaned her head on Zhou Wang's shoulder. Although her expression didn't change much, her eyes were obviously much calmer.

"I miss you."

After a moment, a voice so low that it was almost inaudible reached Zhou Wang's ears.

Zhou Wang was startled, then he tightened his arms around Jiang Mo's waist, and after a long while he replied, "Me too..."

……

The second trial of Jiang Yunfei's case was not open to the public.

Theoretically, Zhou Wang was not even qualified to sit in on the class.

But Professor Wang gave him the status of an assistant, so he could also go in.

As for why Wang Hongying is the best choice among the defense lawyers in the second instance, the reason is actually not complicated.

In addition to Wang Hongying's own strong abilities, her influence in the legal community is also enhanced by invisible factors...

For example, one of the two judges in the second instance collegial panel was once Wang Hongying's schoolmate, and the other one did not know her on the surface, but in fact, their mentor was a roommate from the same dormitory...

In addition, there may be a former student of Wang Hongying hidden in the prosecution...

Zhou Wang listened to what Gao Zhenbang said in a low voice, because the man looked familiar to him.

It doesn't mean that having these connections will allow you to bend the law for personal gain, but there will always be a little convenience.

……

The trial lasted a long time, starting at nine o'clock and ending at nearly twelve o'clock.

In this serious judicial process, Wang Hongying fully demonstrated her ability as a criminal defense expert. On the one hand, she overturned the determination of some of the evidence, and on the other hand, she produced letters of forgiveness from almost all the victims in court.

Behind the letter of understanding there is naturally sufficient financial support.

After seeking Zhou Wang's consent, Jiang Mo will take out a total of nearly 8 million to compensate all the victims...

Jiang Mo could fully support her spending needs with the money she wanted, and it was her own money, so Zhou Wang naturally had no objection.

After the trial, given that the facts of the case were clear and there was only a dispute over sentencing, the collegial panel chose to pronounce the verdict in court.

At 2 pm, after a short recess, the collegial panel announced the final result:

The final verdict of Jiang Yunfei's case was changed from 13 years' imprisonment in the first instance to 8 years' imprisonment...

When she heard the result, Jiang Mo, who had been enduring all this time, trembled and buried her head in Zhou Wang's arms. The tears that had been accumulating since who knows when finally burst out.

"Woooooooo..."

This was the first time Zhou Wang heard Jiang Mo cry. Her tears in the past were always silent, but they were heartbreaking. This time she made a sound, but it was mostly relief and joy...

……

Two hours later, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Wang accompanied Jiang Mo to a detention center in Mingcheng.

This was the last meeting opportunity before Jiang Yunfei was sent to prison for execution.

Through the glass window, Zhou Wang saw Jiang Yunfei for the second time today, but unlike the time in the court when he was far away, this time, they were face to face.

When Zhou Wang accompanied Jiang Mo into the room, Jiang Yunfei, who had been waiting there for a long time, almost couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush to the window, but under the gaze of the bailiff, he endured it.

Jiang Yunfei, whose hair was completely white, did not look like he was in his forties or fifties. Instead, he looked more like an old man who was about to die. Only Jiang Mo could see that compared to the last time they met, there was obviously something more in Jiang Yunfei's eyes...

In addition to the surprise and joy, the slightly excited Jiang Yunfei was obviously still confused. After all, he had already accepted his fate, but who knew that the second trial would actually reduce his sentence by five years...

That’s five years. You know how these five years have been for me… bah. Anyway, five years is enough to change a lot of things.

It can even be said that, at certain moments, these erased five years were the hope that supported him in his efforts to survive.

"Dad, this is Zhou Wang."

Jiang Mo seemed to know what Jiang Yunfei wanted to ask. She pointed at Zhou Wang and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

It was a brightness that Zhou Wangdu had never seen before. It blossomed on Jiang Mo, who was like a fragrant orchid in a deep valley. Mixed with the dripping tears, it made the two men separated by a window lose their minds for a moment.

Before Jiang Yunfei could say anything, Jiang Mo took out a small red flower from somewhere and gently pinned it on the chest of her white dress.

Zhou Wang was stunned.

No wonder he always felt that the style of this white dress was different. When Jiang Mo finished adding the flower decoration, he was shocked to realize that -

It turns out that this is the most simple wedding dress.

At this time, Jiang Mo had already taken Zhou Wang's hand and introduced Zhou Wang to Jiang Yunfei again in a very solemn manner:

"He is my boyfriend, my husband, and will be... the meaning of my life from now on."
