Tang's mother carefully examined the business card in her hand twice, then looked up and asked Tang's father, "Who is this lawyer Xu's husband? Has our daughter told you?"
"No," Tang's father was still angry. "Attorney Xu was definitely helping our daughter. Look at what you just said. It would be strange if her husband wasn't heartbroken!"
"What's wrong with me not wanting my daughter to get a divorce? She's only 23. If she gets divorced after only one year of marriage, what will outsiders think?"
"Why do you care what outsiders think? She's your daughter. Don't you feel bad when her husband beats her?"
"What if Zhou Kun changes it?"
"Are you gambling on this 'what if' scenario?" Mr. Tang was furious with Mrs. Tang. "I just don't understand. It's a fact that our daughter was beaten, and it's also a fact that he hit her with his car. You still expect someone like that to change for the better?"
While Tang Lu's parents were arguing, Jiang Tingzhou had already walked up to Xu Wan.
Xu Wan was still cooperating with the police in giving a statement.
Jiang Tingzhou listened for a while and realized that the situation was even more dangerous than Lü Wei had described.
He originally thought that Lu Wei hit Zhou Kun with his car just to stop him from hitting Tang Lu, but he didn't expect it was to stop Zhou Kun from hitting Xu Wan!
Jiang Tingzhou stood aside and listened to Xu Wan finish giving her statement before accompanying her to the car.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Tingzhou asked her, "Where do you want to go?"
When it was just the two of them, Xu Wan finally showed signs of exhaustion, leaning back in the passenger seat and saying, "I want to go home and rest."
Jiang Tingzhou drove the car home.
Xu Wan was in a heavy mood and didn't say much the whole way.
As soon as Xu Wan opened the door and took off her shoes, the man behind her picked her up in his arms.
"ah!"
Xu Wan was startled and quickly hugged the man's neck, "W-what's wrong?"
Jiang Tingzhou walked a few steps to the sofa, carefully placed the woman on it, and then bent over slightly to hug her tightly. "Wanwan, you almost got hurt again. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
The man held her tightly, and Xu Wan managed to lift her head with great difficulty, explaining softly, "I thought Lü Wei had already told you..."
“I hung up the phone when he said Zhou Kun hit someone with his car. I thought he only hit Tang Lu, but I didn’t expect…” Jiang Tingzhou hugged Xu Wan tightly again, “I didn’t expect she would dare to hit you too!”
Xu Wan recalled what happened before Zhou Kun was knocked unconscious and said, "At that time, he seemed to say that if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been humiliated at Tianwei..."
Jiang Tingzhou's face darkened.
He didn't want to hide it from Xu Wan, so he said directly, "I saw Zhou Kun say in a trending video that day that if he felt he was underappreciated, as long as he could meet with the senior executives of Tianwei Investment and talk about his project, he would definitely be taken seriously. So I gave him that opportunity."
"When did this happen? And then what?"
Xu Wan hadn't expected this to happen.
“It’s on Tuesday.” Jiang Tingzhou showed a disdainful expression. “It’s nothing but arrogance. The project they proposed had a more complete proposal several years ago, and other companies invested in it but it didn’t succeed.”
Xu Wan then realized, "So... he doesn't think it's his problem, but thinks you're deliberately making fun of him?"
Jiang Tingzhou looked terrible. "I just wanted to give him a chance. Men are often willing to abandon their wives when they think they are going to succeed. Unfortunately, he is not up to par. What he has brought out is not worth anything. I never thought that it would implicate you."
Xu Wan could sense that Jiang Tingzhou was truly remorseful.
She knew this had nothing to do with men; it was just that Zhou Kun was too extreme in his actions.
To prevent Jiang Tingzhou from dwelling on this matter, she rested her head on the man's shoulder and asked him, "According to you, if one day you give up being a lawyer to go into business and become a billionaire, and meet many girls who are much better than me in every way, would you... want to divorce me?"
Xu Wan asked this question with a smile, but her tone was serious.
