The next day, Xu Yanshu went there based on the information provided by Shengyi. It was located on the edge of the commercial street, quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle, and very suitable for office work.

The price was also reasonable, so Xu Yanshu immediately paid the deposit.

Jiang Zhengyu, who had been silent all along, reached out and patted Xu Yanshu on the shoulder, and said with great interest, "Boss, you definitely won't lose money renting this to us. My friend will soon become the most famous rising star in the business world, and then this place of yours will become a golden shop."

"Really? Then I wish Mr. Xu all the best in advance." The boss was a straightforward person and immediately said something auspicious upon hearing this.

Who would boast like that?

Xu Yanshu glanced at Jiang Zhengyu with a wry smile. This absurd interruption was far too out of character for a lawyer.

After saying goodbye to the boss, Xu Yanshu thought she would take this opportunity to familiarize herself with the surroundings, so she decided to walk with Jiang Zhengyu.

"That's good, you've finally taken the first step in a long journey."

"But I must remind you that although the building materials industry has a large profit margin, there are already several building materials companies in Chengdu. It won't be easy for you to make a name for yourself!"

“Isn’t that what starting a business is all about? It’s destined to be something that can’t be achieved overnight,” Xu Yanshu shrugged nonchalantly, then sighed as if with emotion, “No matter what, I’m fighting for myself now.”

Jiang Zhengyu raised his eyebrows slightly. What he said was true.

"By now, Xie Junyang should have received his initial sentence."

When this topic was brought up, a hint of gloom appeared between Xu Yanshu's brows. He nodded slightly, "Yes, Chairman Huang has been keeping an eye on things. There shouldn't be any problems."

"I'll probably stay for a few days after I get back, and then I'll find some time to go see him."

He had already foreseen what kind of punishment Xie Junyang would receive, but he was actually not satisfied. Unfortunately, neither he nor He Shu had any actual evidence that Xie Junyang was involved in the murder case.

Seeing his friend's demeanor visibly become depressed, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but regret bringing up the topic.

Starting a business is inherently a stressful endeavor, especially for someone like Yan Shu in his current situation. He should try to avoid being distracted by other factors.

Thinking back to the topic his uncle had mentioned that day, Jiang Zhengyu was about to say something when the person next to him suddenly rushed forward.

Xu Yanshu reached out and supported Shen Wei, who was about to faint. He noticed that her symptoms were low blood sugar and took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to her.

Are you alright?

"Thank you, young man," Shen Wei said, regaining her composure and looking up at the person in front of her with gratitude. "I'm fine, it's just that I haven't been resting well these past few days, so I have a bit of low blood sugar."

For the past six months, she has been experiencing symptoms of nightmares. These past few days, with her husband and Xiao Hao away from home, her sleep quality has been particularly poor.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanshu noticed the bruises under the other person's eyes, and the pathological pallor on her well-maintained face, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Health is no small matter; you'd better go to the hospital for a checkup."

Well, they're practically becoming a pair of chivalrous heroes.

Jiang Zhengyu chuckled inwardly, and when he looked up at Shen Wei sitting on the bench, he felt that she looked somewhat familiar... but he couldn't quite place her in the picture.

At this moment, Shen Wei looked at Xu Yanshu and felt a strange sense of familiarity. She blurted out unconsciously, "Young man, haven't we met somewhere before?"

"Probably not, because I've been in Kyoto the whole time."

Shen Wei belatedly realized that her words were somewhat presumptuous, so she smiled apologetically at the person and said, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake again."

While saying this, she couldn't help but stare at Xu Yanshu.

If this is truly the first time we've met, why does this person feel so familiar...?

Although he wasn't angry about it, the scrutiny made Xu Yanshu feel somewhat uncomfortable, so he immediately made an excuse and left.

Jiang Zhengyu followed Xu Yanshu at a leisurely pace, unsure whether to mention it to him. He hadn't expected such a coincidence.

It wasn't until the two of them got into the taxi one after the other that Xu Yanshu noticed something was wrong with Jiang Zhengyu. He frowned in confusion.

"Zhengyu, what's wrong?"

"The person you just saved must be Zhou Shengyu's wife."

That is, your biological mother, Jiang Zhengyu did not actually say these words out loud at the end.

Mrs. Zhou has always kept a low profile and rarely appears in public. He had only seen her twice before, at charity galas, which is why, although she looked somewhat familiar, he couldn't quite place her.

What a coincidence?

Xu Yanshu's smile faded slightly, and he looked unnatural for a moment. He didn't say anything and turned to look out the window.

Xu Zhenhua never married. Apart from occasionally asking his grandmother about his mother when he was young, he had no concept of a mother in his previous life.

An unexpected image of Shen Wei's sickly face flashed before his eyes, and Xu Yanshu frowned uncomfortably.

Isn't the Zhou family a top-tier business family? With such a comfortable life, how come the person is still so sickly? He couldn't help but take his anger out on the man named Zhou Shengyu.

Jiang Zhengyu originally wanted to reveal all the information he knew, but seeing Xu Yanshu's reluctance, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
