"I got back at 9:30, didn't I?" Xu Wan quickly pulled the pillow over. "Just lie down and don't move. Just tell me what you need and I'll do it."
Xu Wan knew how Jiang Tingzhou had been injured.
She felt incredibly guilty.
But the man lacked nothing, and there was nothing she could do to help him; she could only do what she could.
Jiang Tingzhou listened to her and lay back down on the bed. Then, holding the woman's hand, he said earnestly, "What I need is for you to stay here, somewhere I can see you at any time, so I can feel at ease."
The man has very large hands.
The warmth was transferred to her from her palm.
Xu Wan blushed slightly, "Don't worry, I'll stay here tonight and not go anywhere else."
Jiang Tingzhou moved his arm slightly. "Why are you so far away from me? Sit a little closer to me. I'm injured right now, so I can't bully you. Besides, you're pregnant, and I'll endure it for the first three months, so you don't need to be afraid."
Xu Wan's face immediately turned even redder.
To ease the awkwardness, she quickly said, "By the way, we met Jinqi's mother at the mall today."
"What a coincidence?"
“I also think it’s a coincidence, but we just happened to meet.” Xu Wan lowered her head, revealing a sad expression. “But Jinqi’s mother denied her identity at the time. Later, when Tang Lu took her in to play, she asked me to meet her at the coffee shop and made it clear that she had started a new life and would not acknowledge Jinqi.”
Jiang Tingzhou's expression was serious: "This doesn't make sense. Are you sure you met Jinqi's real mother? Or a fraud?"
"I'm sure."
Xu Wan knew why Jiang Tingzhou thought that way.
She held the man's hand and said earnestly, "Jinqi's mother clearly comes from a well-off family. After escaping back to Beicheng, she went abroad to study and has now married a wonderful husband. This is the life she should have lived. She did nothing wrong; she has simply returned to a normal life. If she were to acknowledge Jinqi, she might live in that past for the rest of her life..."
Jiang Tingzhou frowned slightly, looking at Xu Wan with a probing gaze. He was about to say something, but hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did she say whether she was willing to identify the mistakes Liu Liqiang made?"
“She was willing, and I told her we have the best criminal lawyers who can at least get Liu Liqiang sentenced to ten or more years, or even twenty years.”
Xu Wan relayed what she had said before.
Jiang Tingzhou looked at her but didn't say anything immediately.
Xu Wan knew that men were smart; some things didn't need to be said outright. With just a few words, they could guess what was going on.
She looked at the man in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Jiang Tingzhou, I already know what you've been hiding from me. I... before I proposed to you, I really only thought you were an ordinary legal professional, which is why I proposed to you."
"Wanwan..."
"Let me finish speaking first." Xu Wan refused Jiang Tingzhou's interruption, afraid that she wouldn't have the courage to continue. "I know my situation very well. I have no father, my mother is in prison, I only have a bachelor's degree, I'm nothing in this industry, I have no car, no house, no savings, and what about you?"
"..."
“You told me you had a car but no house. Maybe you weren’t lying, but your family is very wealthy. You can buy houses worth tens of millions of dollars without hesitation. You’re also a legendary lawyer in the legal field. We’re not just mismatched in terms of social status, I wouldn’t even dare to dream of being with someone like that. I was already pregnant when I found out about this. At that moment, I really regretted getting pregnant…”
Xu Wan looked at the man before her and finally spoke her mind, "I know I'm not good enough for the renowned lawyer Jiang Xuanzhou. I should give up my title as Jiang Xuanzhou's wife to someone more deserving, but... right now, my heart and soul are filled with you. I can't accept losing you, so I want to be a little selfish and continue being Mrs. Jiang..."
