Jiang Tingzhou's expression was solemn.
As the only child in the Jiang family, Jiang Tingzhou received education as an heir from a young age. His life was filled with courses such as foreign languages, martial arts, self-defense, and negotiation. However, he always loved law.
Despite his family's repeated objections, he still studied law in college and briefly practiced as a lawyer for a few years under the name Jiang Xuanzhou.
He was undefeated in court during those years and remains a legend in the legal field to this day.
His first court appearance as a lawyer was as a public interest lawyer for a defendant.
The defendant's name is Xu Pingrong.
A wife who had long suffered domestic violence killed her husband in an attempt to protect her daughter.
The protected daughter was Xu Wan.
Xu Wan was unaware of the truth. After she finished speaking, fearing that the man would continue to press her for answers, she quickly said, "I just wrote this sentence down because it left a deep impression on me. I didn't mean anything else."
"Is it memorable?" Jiang Tingzhou repeated.
"I'm sorry, I don't really want to talk about this person."
In order to prevent the conversation from continuing, Xu Wan had no choice but to forcibly end it.
She slipped the note into the side of the diary and put it back on the bookshelf.
During the two days they spent together, Xu Wan gave Jiang Tingzhou the impression of being gentle and kind, like a docile, obedient, and mild-mannered little white rabbit.
This was the first time she had shown any other emotion.
It's all because of her.
Jiang Tingzhou smiled wryly: It seems that his behavior back then really made the young girl dislike him, otherwise she wouldn't have held a grudge for so long.
Impressive?
The young girl just didn't want to say anything too harsh.
If she knew he was Jiang Xuanzhou, she would definitely drag him to get a divorce tomorrow.
Jiang Tingzhou's initial intention in agreeing to the marriage was out of a desire to make amends.
But just a few days after getting married, he felt reluctant to get a divorce.
After putting down her diary, Xu Wan saw that Jiang Tingzhou was still standing there, so she had to find a new topic. "By the way, my junior high school classmate is having some problems in her marriage. I'm going back to my hometown this weekend to see if there's anything I can do to help her."
"I'm free this weekend, can I take you there?"
"No need, no need," Xu Wan quickly refused. "I can take the bus back, it only takes less than two hours. I'll only be gone for two days. I have some things to take care of on Monday morning, and I'll be back by noon."
Xu Wan dared not let Jiang Tingzhou escort her.
It's not just because I'm afraid of bothering him.
More importantly, Yinyi Town is a very small place, and the whole town knows about her parents' case.
Her classmates all knew that her mother was a murderer.
Once I went there, I couldn't hide my mother's affair from her anymore.
Jiang Tingzhou also compromised: "Then I'll find a car to take you there. You can stay there for the next couple of days, and when you come back, he'll take you back."
"Need not……"
"Then I'll take you."
Xu Wan couldn't persuade Jiang Tingzhou otherwise, and finally agreed: "Then you should find a car to take me."
-
Yu Shuangshuang and her husband agreed to meet at 11:00 AM.
When Xu Wan arrived in Yinyi Town by car, it was already past 10:30.
After the two met, they had no time to waste and rushed to the agreed-upon coffee shop.
"here."
As soon as they entered, one of the only two customers in the store stood up and waved to them.
After walking over, Yu Shuang introduced Xu Wan, "This is my husband, Xie Ning."
Xu Wan looked Xie Ning up and down. The man was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. He had fair skin, slightly curly hair dyed chestnut brown, and regular features with a high nose bridge. Apart from some acne on his face, he was quite handsome.
However, the way his eyes and brows conveyed a sense of unease.
It's probably true that your appearance reflects your inner state.
"Hello, my name is Xu Wan, and I am Yu Shuangshuang's lawyer." Xu Wan introduced herself in a businesslike manner.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man sitting next to Xie Ning looked her up and down and suddenly said, "Oh, I thought this beautiful lady looked familiar. Oh, she's an old classmate?"
"This is my friend Zuo Changdong," Xie Ning introduced, then asked, "Do you know him?"
“Of course I know her. Everyone in our school knows Xu Wan.” Zuo Changdong stood up from the sofa, pulled Xie Ning back, and said in a loud voice, “You’d better be careful. Her mother is a murderer, and she killed her father!”
