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...
"You also graduated from China University of Political Science and Law?" Xu Wan asked, slightly surprised.
"What do you think?" Jiang Tingzhou asked.
Xu Wan spoke frankly: "I thought you must have graduated from a Chinese university or a prestigious foreign university."
“No, I decided to pursue a career in law a long time ago, and my goal for university has always been East China University of Political Science and Law,” Jiang Tingzhou replied.
Unlike other majors, law is not about which school is more prestigious; it's more about the background of the student.
It emphasizes four colleges and five departments.
The most outstanding of these schools is China University of Political Science and Law, which is also the dream school for law students.
Xu Wan lowered her head and whispered, "After my mother's accident, my goal has always been East China University of Political Science and Law."
After her mother was convicted, she didn't understand why her mother was guilty, so she decided to study law herself, become a lawyer, and find out the reasons behind it.
Jiang Tingzhou paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "By the way, are you planning to go to the school anniversary celebration?"
"I... I'll probably go. Actually, I was busy working during college and didn't get to know my classmates very well. But we'll probably all be in the same industry in the future, so it's good to keep in touch."
Xu Wan spoke the truth.
"Yes, I should be attending the school anniversary celebration as well. If it's convenient, we can go together."
Jiang Tingzhou was invited by the school to attend the anniversary celebration and will also speak on stage as an outstanding alumnus.
Xu Wan assumed that Jiang Tingzhou was also going to the class reunion, so she readily agreed.
Jiang Tingzhou received a call from his assistant, confirming that he would be going on a business trip to Nancheng that afternoon.
He escorted Xu Wan to the law firm entrance, rummaged through his bag for a while, and handed her a business card: "My cousin Gong Yanli is a fashion designer. This is her studio address. If you need clothes for the school anniversary celebration, you can go there to choose one."
Xu Wan accepted the business card.
Jiang Tingzhou added, "She just returned to China not long ago, and her studio has just opened. If you'd like, you can go and support her."
Xu Wan carefully looked at the address on the business card and agreed, "Okay, I will go."
In her mind, Gong Yanli's cousin should be just starting out in her career, and she should support her.
-
Jiang Tingzhou, Su Ziyu, and Gong Yanli arranged to have dinner together on Thursday.
Xu Wan called ahead to confirm the opening hours of Gong Yanli's cousin's studio, and left work half an hour early on Thursday, planning to take the subway to Gong Yanli's cousin's studio.
As she passed by the subway station, she noticed that a shop next to the station that had been up for sale was starting renovations today. Judging from the sign, it should be a flower shop.
Xu Wan quickly found Gong Yanli's cousin's studio according to the address.
It is a three-story detached house in the south of the city.
It looked deserted and quiet; the trees in the small garden by the entrance hadn't grown properly yet, so it was obvious that they had just moved in not long ago.
As soon as Xu Wan walked in, a woman with curly hair and heavy makeup approached her and said warmly, "Are you Mrs. Jiang?"
Mrs. Jiang.
Hearing this address, Xu Wan was still a little uncomfortable and just nodded slightly.
“I’m Gong Yanli’s younger sister, Bai Xing. You’re younger than me, right? Just call me Sister Xing.” Bai Xing asked someone to help Xu Wan with her bag and led her upstairs. “I just returned to China and haven’t done much promotion here. Whichever set you like, I’ll give it to you as a bonus. Consider it promotion for me.”
"No need, I'll just pay the normal amount."
Xu Wan gazed at the white star in front of her.
The woman was about 1.7 meters tall. She was wearing a tight-fitting tank top and skinny jeans, which perfectly showcased her curves.
Xu Wan stammered, "You have a really good figure."
"Thank you." Bai Xing smiled broadly, took Xu Wan's arm and said, "I've heard people say I dress indecently every day since I came back to China. I'm so tired of it. This is the first time someone has complimented me on my figure. You have good taste. I like you."
Gong Yanli had told Bai Xing about Xu Wan and Jiang Tingzhou's situation in advance.
Shirahoshi didn't understand at all.
She looked at Xu Wan's face and asked curiously, "What does your husband do again?"
