"That day at the law firm, there was her, and a very beautiful female lawyer. That lawyer greeted us, she..."

The man pointed at Jiang Wan.

"They insist on stopping us, saying it's inappropriate to sue a young girl for such a large sum of money. What's inappropriate about me exercising my legal rights?"

Jiang Wan didn't respond, gesturing for him to continue.

"I remember there were two names on the contract, and yours was one of them." The man then pointed to Lu Jingshi.

The woman nodded in agreement: "Yes, but the next day you said the contract terms were not suitable and needed to be re-signed."

"Is this the new contract you posted online? Why are you going around saying Jiang Wan is the lawyer representing us when the signature is blank?"

"The person who delivered the contract told us that, and also said that Attorney Jiang taught us how to deal with these poor and shameless people."

Jiang Wan's hand, which was resting on the table, began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Was the pretty female lawyer the one who delivered the new contracts to you?"

Jiang Wan could feel Lu Jingshi beside her tense up suddenly after hearing those words, as if he was very nervous.

"No, it was a man. He said he was sent by Attorney Jiang."

Lu Jingshi took out his phone and found the most complete group photo of 100 people in Kairong.

"Look, is it in here?"

Just as the man was about to take it, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced down at it and immediately pushed Lu Jingshi's hand away.

"I'm not watching anymore, go find Jiang Wan, she's the one who taught us."

Jiang Wan took a deep breath and spoke again: "I am Jiang Wan, so you don't know me at all. You only met me once at the police station, and then you spread rumors online."

She pointed at the man's phone: "Who sent you that message? Was it telling you to shut up?"

The man pulled the woman to her feet, ready to leave.

"This has nothing to do with you, please move aside."

Jiang Wan sneered: "It has nothing to do with me, but now it has to do with you."

She took out her phone and pulled up a case acceptance notice sent to her by Lin Yue's mother.

"You are suspected of instigating cyberbullying that resulted in death, a particularly serious offense, and the case has been accepted by the Chinese authorities."

"Furthermore, I have stopped broadcasting your statement online today, and I will personally file a criminal lawsuit against you for defamation."

"Although you keep saying you don't acknowledge that you are Chinese, according to the evidence I found at the immigration office, you have not obtained American citizenship at all. Legally, you are still Chinese and subject to Chinese law."

Jiang Wan smiled, delivering a fatal blow to the increasingly panicked hearts of her in-laws.

"You think you're safe just because our country doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US? Your status is illegal, and you'll most likely be deported."

The two men, their faces pale, quickly left.

Jiang Wan then took out her live-streaming phone and placed it on the table.

"Wow, Attorney Jiang was so cool just now!"

"Is it too late to call me 'husband' now? Husband, I was wrong. I raised my voice too loudly to you before."

"Okay, now I have a husband (Brother Lu) and a wife (Lawyer Jiang) in Kairong."

Jiang Wan quietly looked at these cheerful comments, as if the previous negative comments had nothing to do with them.

They seem to have forgotten that they once drove a young girl to her death.

She opened her mouth: "Tomorrow is Lin Yue's birthday."

Then the live stream ended.

Alena came over and hugged her: "Jiang Wan, now I know why someone can't forget you. You're so wonderful."

She whispered in Jiang Wan's ear, "Eric has told me everything about you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

Jiang Wan turned her head and looked at her gratefully.

Alena smiled, cupped her face, and gave her a big kiss on the lips.

Jiang Wan was startled, and Lu Jingshi pulled her into his arms.

"Zhao Baobao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Baobao?

Alena panicked immediately and shouted, "What are you yelling about? I should have changed my name a long time ago! My name is Zhao Meina!"

Lu Jingshi glared at her, then put his arm around Jiang Wan and stood up.

"A perfectly normal person goes crazy after coming here."

As Jiang Wan stepped out of the office building, her phone received a flood of WeChat messages.

The first one was posted by Wang Yiran.

"Holy crap, Attorney Jiang is dazzling in LA, so incredibly cool, baby!"

Gu Yang, A Zhen, and Eric also sent messages of praise.

The most unexpected response came from Qian Xianxian: "Hmph, you've got some skills."

Recalling the message she sent her that day, Jiang Wan felt conflicted. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "I won't let you off the hook even if you praise me."

Lu Jingshi chuckled lightly: "I've booked a restaurant for tonight, shall we celebrate?"

Jiang Wan nodded. She had been on edge for over a week and had never been able to relax. Now she could finally have a proper meal and a good night's sleep.

RH Ocean Grill is hailed as the most beautiful restaurant in Southern California, featuring a retro-luxurious rooftop garden.

Jiang Wan and Lu Jingshi had seen it online a long time ago.

But they were both too busy back then. Lu Jingshi was busy starting his business and traveling for work, while Jiang Wan was busy taking care of him.

He had promised her that after they got married, he would take her to all the places she liked.

Now, as she and Lu Jingshi stood downstairs at this restaurant, Jiang Wan felt as if everything was somewhat unreal.

The seats were booked in advance; they were Jiang Wan's preferred window seats.

Just as the California sun was setting, orange sunlight streamed through the glass ceiling, bathing the entire restaurant in a soft, orange glow.

Lu Jingshi across from her was also in a daze. Jiang Wan felt uneasy, afraid that she would suddenly wake up.

"Lu Jingshi, I want to drink, the most expensive kind of wine."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

.........

Useless, you were tricked out of it so quickly.

She swiped her phone, found "Zhao Kai," and dialed the number. The other end answered almost instantly.

"Was it done cleanly?"

Zhao Kai's voice came through the phone: "Don't worry, we didn't show up, and the person who delivered the documents went to Southeast Asia a long time ago."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Tian was completely relieved.

She casually opened a social media app, habitually found Lu Jingshi, and clicked on it.

I thought it would be another familiar blank space.

But then I suddenly realized that he had posted a photo three minutes earlier.

The sea, bathed in orange light, is breathtakingly beautiful.

But Fang Tian keenly spotted a woman with long black hair and a smiling face in the reflection of the transparent glass.

Jiang Wan!
