Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
Aunt Ling, whom Gong Yanli mentioned, is Jiang Tingzhou's mother.
She was also Aunt Lingya, whom Xu Wan knew.
Due to a series of coincidences, Jiang Tingzhou was unaware that Xu Wan knew Ling Ya.
Jiang Tingzhou's expression was serious, and he said coldly, "We'll talk about it later. Didn't they say the first three months are the danger period? I'll tell her after that period is over."
Su Ziyu shrugged. "I don't understand. What's the point of hiding this? If you told any woman in the world that you're a billionaire CEO, they would all go crazy for you, without exception."
"If your mother killed your abusive, alcoholic, and gambling father to protect you, and served thirteen years in prison for it, and someone told you that no matter the reason, she killed someone and she deserved to go to jail, what would you think? Would you forgive him just because he's a billionaire?"
Jiang Tingzhou looked at Su Ziyu and calmly stated the fact.
Su Ziyu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
He couldn't say for sure about matters concerning his parents either.
As the three of them stood together chatting, the nurse accompanied Xu Wan, who had just finished her examination, over.
"Mr. Jiang, your wife and baby are both very healthy. I have already explained the follow-up precautions to Mrs. Jiang, and the necessary medications have been prescribed. As long as she takes the medication every day and comes for regular check-ups, we will write down the specific check-up schedule when we register her at around eight weeks."
The nurse respectfully explained the situation to Jiang Tingzhou.
After listening, Jiang Tingzhou pulled Xu Wan aside and said, "Are you tired? Let's get a hospital room and rest for a bit?"
Xu Wan paused for a few seconds, then immediately said, "I'm not tired. It's been less than half an hour, how could I be tired?"
Jiang Tingzhou said, "But we need to be more careful from now on."
Su Ziyu shook his head with a "tsk tsk" sound and said to Gong Yanli beside him, "Brother, do you have a dental clinic? I suddenly feel a toothache."
Gong Yanli rolled her eyes at him: "My advice is to remove whichever one hurts, or remove them all if you're not sure."
"Hey, you two have fiancées and wives, why don't you sympathize with me, a single guy!" Su Ziyu complained in a low voice. "What kind of older brothers are you? You don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young."
Gong Yanli ignored him and said to Xu Wan, "Attorney Xu, you can come to our hospital if you need anything in the future. It's not just for pregnancy check-ups. You can also come if you feel unwell. We have professional doctors on duty 24 hours a day and will treat you as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Dr. Gong."
Xu Wan felt fortunate to have married Jiang Tingzhou, as everything that seemed difficult to others became incredibly convenient.
But a part of her heart always felt uneasy because of that bouquet of flowers and that card.
Was Jiang Tingzhou really the one who lied to her?
But Xu Wan didn't think she had anything worth deceiving Jiang Tingzhou about.
-
on Monday.
Since Xu Wan bought a car, she has basically been driving herself to work.
But today Jiang Tingzhou insisted on seeing her off.
“If I need anything, I’ll have Lü Wei take you. In any case, during your pregnancy, you just need to be able to get around by car.”
It's rare for Jiang Tingzhou to take such a tough stance on something.
Xu Wan couldn't persuade him otherwise and had no choice but to agree.
When she arrived at the office, Lingya had already delivered the flowers for the week.
There were several beautiful bunches of purplish-red hydrangeas, each one blooming very fully. Just looking at them in the vase was enough to lift one's spirits.
Xu Wan didn't have much time to appreciate the flowers; she immediately began organizing the evidence for Tang Lu's lawsuit.
Tang Lu's husband still refuses to divorce her and apologizes to her every day in front of her house.
However, this time Tang Lu was adamant about getting a divorce.
Xu Wan was busy until noon. She went downstairs intending to just buy a quick lunch when someone called her from a short distance away.
"Xu Wan".
Xu Wan looked in the direction of the sound and saw An Yunya get out of a black car, walk up to her in high heels, and smile, "Attorney Xu, do you have a moment? I'd like to have a brief chat with you."
"Sorry, I have to go to work right away."
Xu Wan immediately refused.
She and An Yunya were not familiar with each other, but she always felt that An Yunya had ill intentions.
An Yunya smiled and said, "Perfect timing, I also need to catch a flight, it won't take up much of your time."
Xu Wan hesitated.
Seeing her hesitation, An Yunya added, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I just felt sorry for you being kept in the dark and wanted to tell you some of the truth."
