Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.
Chapter 91 Prying Open His Mouth
Lu Guokun parked his car in the underground garage. After getting out, he gave the driver a few instructions, and the driver agreed and left.
Shen Qing stepped out at the opportune moment.
"Old Lu."
Lu Guokun turned around and saw Shen Qing wearing a slightly oversized white dress. Her face was even paler than the dress, and her eyes looked at him with a fragile and helpless expression.
He swallowed back his rebuke, feeling a pang of guilt and tenderness in his heart.
"Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be working at the branch office?"
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll miss you. I came to see you. I wanted to go upstairs just now, but they wouldn't let me."
Shen Qing lowered her head, a small section of her fair neck peeking out through her black hair, giving her a delicate and unique look.
"Old Lu, I've met with Lin Huan and told her that your blood pressure has been unstable for the past two years and that you need to check it every morning."
"I had some more of your favorite tea sent over. It's on the lower shelf of the cabinet in the west corner of the office. You can't drink strong tea, it will make your heart race. I've already told you exactly how to brew it and what time to drink it."
"Old Lu, I know you won't care about me anymore if there are other people around you, but you're the only person I've ever loved in my life. You're my first man, I..."
With a mix of genuine emotion and acting, Shen Qing covered her face, unable to continue.
Lu Guokun sighed, somewhat moved, and walked over to pull her to a blind spot in the surveillance footage.
"Shen Qing, you are too foolish and too scheming. Lin Huan has been with me for eight years, and not only has she not let a word of it get out, but she has also gained Yu Qing's deep trust. That's real ability."
"Yu Qing is half of Lu's family, and she has made great contributions to the company's success. I would never do anything that would damage Lu's family's image for any woman."
"Considering the years you've spent with me and the damage to your health you've done, I'll talk to the branch office and increase your salary by 30% based on your original position. I'll also provide you with an apartment and a living allowance of 10 yuan."
"Old Lu!" Shen Qing threw herself into his arms. "I can't bear to part with you."
Lu Guokun hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted her: "Alright, I'm going upstairs now, you can go back."
He pushed Shen Qing aside and strode towards the elevator.
Just moments ago, Shen Qing was filled with emotion and reluctance, but now her face was filled with hatred as she stared intently at Lu Guokun's departing figure.
She was a beautiful young woman, but he and Yu Qing ruined her chance to become a mother.
You think you can just kick her out of here with this little bit of stuff?
I don't think about it!
On the other side of the ocean.
Following the information provided by Alena, Jiang Wan and Lu Jingshi arrived at the agreed-upon location ahead of schedule.
Jiang Wan had already posted a preview of the live broadcast on social media the night before.
The moment the live stream was opened, tens of thousands of people flooded in.
Jiang Wan had been giving them the silent treatment for many days, closing comments, blocking private messages, and making it impossible for them to see her. They had been holding back their anger for a long time.
But as soon as the broadcast started, Jiang Wan gave them a fierce warning: "No spamming! Record me for evidence!"
Jiang Wan recognized the devilish in-laws as soon as she walked into the office on the 28th floor.
They were looking down, checking the contract line by line, occasionally asking Alena questions.
The man looked up and saw two people enter. He glared at them unhappily.
"Chinese?"
Jiang Wan nodded, and the man had an "I knew it" look on his face.
"Chinese people have the worst manners. They came in before I had finished my business. I hate Chinese people the most."
Jiang Wan glanced at the live stream room quietly. Those who were just criticizing her were now filled with question marks.
They then greeted each other's parents and ancestors in a friendly manner.
"Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, it's nice to see you again." Jiang Wan naturally sat down opposite the two.
The man squinted at her for a long time before asking, "Who are you? What are you trying to do, get close to me?"
The woman suddenly pointed at Jiang Wan and shouted, "I remember now, you're from that... law firm?"
Jiang Wan laughed. These two people didn't even know her identity, yet they dared to spread rumors about her online and post fake contracts. She didn't believe that no one had authorized them.
The man sat up straight, warily: "What are you doing here? Did you get wet too?"
"I came specifically for the two of you."
Jiang Wan took out the contract from the Gu family from her bag and pushed it over: "Mr. Jiang has 600 million yuan in outstanding payments to Gu's Group, but due to a legal dispute, the goods have not been delivered."
"How did you know?" The man snatched the contract. "Are you Gu's lawyer? Return the payment to me immediately. If it weren't for Gu's, why would we have taken out a loan?"
"I was commissioned by the Gu family, but before we discuss this matter, I need to understand your traffic accident case in China."
Jiang Wan paused, then changed the subject: "Do you know that the little girl has passed away?"
An awkward expression flashed across the woman's face. Just as she was about to speak, her husband gave her a push.
The man tapped the table nonchalantly, a roguish smile on his face.
"What does it matter to us whether she lives or dies? She won't pay compensation, so my lawyer told me to use some methods. Who knew you Chinese people would be so enthusiastic? I just posted it online and people are already helping me."
"I didn't ask them to post it on her school forum, nor did I attack or insult her. If you're asking about this, sorry, you've come to the wrong person. The things you Chinese netizens did should be the ones who suffer the consequences."
Jiang Wan was already furious when she heard him repeatedly referring to "you Chinese people".
Hearing his utterly shameless excuses, she wished she could strangle him immediately.
"Mr. Jiang, your engagement contract lists Jiang Wan as your lawyer. May I ask where you signed the contract with Jiang Wan?"
"What does this have to do with anything? I don't need to tell you. Gu family, give me my money back right now!"
The man stood up abruptly and shouted at Jiang Wan.
Lu Jingshi immediately stood up, blocking Jiang Wan's way, and spoke coldly.
"I am Lu Jingshi, the director of Kairong. You just said that the lawyer asked you to use methods? Is that the lawyer Jiang Wan you mentioned?"
Jiang Wan pretended to tidy her clothes and glanced at the screen again.
"Something's not right. He seems... to not know Jiang Wan. Do you think that's possible?"
"Yes, they don't even recognize their own lawyer. This... seems really suspicious."
"This shameless man actually insulted us. Does he have an account? I'm going to go and verbally abuse him."
Jiang Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and rolled her eyes at her phone.
"Jiang Wan... seems to be... glaring at me!"
"I told you Attorney Jiang was innocent, but you wouldn't believe me. You deserve to be glared at! But... is the director of Kairong really that handsome?!"
"You've finally discovered my brother! Lu Jingshi is a handsome, professional, and top-notch industry leader!"
The man stared at Lu Jingshi for a long time: "Lu Jingshi? Oh, I know. You signed the first contract."
Lu Jingshi and Jiang Wan exchanged a glance, then immediately asked, "The first contract? What does that mean?"
The man completely lost his patience and tried to walk away.
Alena spoke up promptly: "Mr. Jiang, your loan is currently stuck due to domestic litigation. If you can explain that there is no risk, it will be approved quickly."
The woman tugged at her husband's arm.
"Just say it. We haven't done anything wrong. The shop is under renovation and we're spending money every day. Just explain it clearly and that's it."
The man sat down, looked at Jiang Wan, and said, "It was all Jiang Wan who taught me. If you want to find someone, go find her."
