No one can control their emotions, especially since her forced separation from Fu Nanxiao was all because she loved him.

What he did after returning to China was indeed disheartening, but my love for him is etched in my bones.

Having suppressed her feelings before, seeing Li Luyao's appearance now makes her even more hesitant to express her love for Fu Nanxiao.

Li Luyao grabbed her hand and asked, "Lai Lai, you won't go back to him, will you? You're only doing this for the child. We'll go back to China after Xi Xi recovers."

Jiang Yilai cautiously probed, "If that's the case, will you give up your hatred for him?"

Li Luyao's face stiffened, and he looked at her with extreme displeasure, his eyes becoming sharp, which made Jiang Yilai very uneasy.

"You still want me to let him go? Even if he wasn't the mastermind, he was still a participant and therefore guilty."

Jiang Yilai didn't know how to persuade him, but she could sense the helplessness Fu Nanxiao had felt back then.

“I hope you will reinvestigate this matter. There may be many things you don’t know. The Fu family’s situation back then was very tumultuous. You’ll find out once you investigate.”

"No matter what you say, you just want me to let him go."

Jiang Yilai murmured, "Lu Yao, I know you'll be unhappy saying this, but I'm not letting you go against him because I'm helping you."

Li Luyao's face darkened further. "Because I can't beat him."

“He’s the most powerful right now, and he knows you’re trying to get rid of him. Do you think he’ll let you off the hook? Once he makes a move, you…you’ll have very little chance to fight back.”

Jiang Yilai had already put it very tactfully, hoping he would understand her good intentions, out of concern for his self-esteem.

Li Luyao nodded with a wry smile and sighed, "You really have a lot to worry about."

"Lu Yao..."

"I'm fine. You have a lot going on at your law firm, go ahead and get busy."

Jiang Yilai nodded, understanding his feelings.

"I'll be going now. Contact me if you need anything; I'm always available."

He was the one who helped me out of the darkness back then, and now I can't just let him go.

Li Luyao didn't respond from behind the curtain, so she had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Jiang Yilai left, Li Luyao went berserk, smashing things in the living room. He hated himself for not being a match for Fu Nanxiao and for not being able to win Jiang Yilai's heart.

He couldn't just give up like that. He was determined to take it all, whether it was from the Fu family or Jiang Yilai.

Even if he were to perish, he could never escape unscathed.

Jiang Yilai arrived at the law firm in a daze, and Zhang Yue showed her the cases she had taken on that day.

"Director Jiang, two companies have come to request legal aid today. Here are the relevant documents. Please take a look. If there are no problems, we will send someone to coordinate with them."

Jiang Yilai nodded, took the document and examined it carefully. After a moment, she put it down and asked, "Is there any news from Ji Xueer?"

She was still waiting for Ji Xueer to withdraw the lawsuit on her own initiative. As long as Li Luyao spoke up, she would definitely cancel the lawsuit immediately.

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "The director seems to be particularly concerned about this case. In fact, they are not afraid even if they go to court. No matter who from the law firm takes the case, they will definitely win."

Jiang Yilai shook her head. What she wanted wasn't to win, but for the matter to be brought to a standstill.

This was originally Li Luyao's method of revenge, and innocent people should not be dragged into it.

“There are many reasons for this that you are not aware of. Contact her agent and tell them that they have no chance of winning, so they must withdraw the lawsuit no matter what.”
