When Gu's father and Cao Yating saw Jiang Tingzhou arrive, they were so frightened that they quickly stood up straight.
They never expected that Jiang Tingzhou would actually come here!
Jiang Tingzhou took two steps forward, extended his right hand to Gu's father, and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Xuanzhou, a senior partner at Tianyuan Law Firm. My real name is Jiang Tingzhou. You should also know that I am the husband of this lawyer Xu."
"Yes, yes, I know."
Mr. Gu nodded vigorously.
Even outside the president's office on the top floor of Tianwei Group, and even though Jiang Tingzhou was wearing gold-rimmed glasses that partially concealed the fierceness in his dark eyes, Gu's father could still feel a powerful sense of oppression.
The receptionist closed the door and left.
Jiang Tingzhou pulled up the chair closest to Xu Wan and sat down, saying, "You guys continue, don't worry about me. I was just worried that you would think my wife is easy to bully. She just happened to be here today, so I came to support her."
Gu's father glared at Cao Yating.
The next second, Cao Yating bent her knees and knelt directly in front of Xu Wan: "Attorney Xu, I'm sorry. I'm the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. I thought your family was just an ordinary family before, so I spoke without thinking and hurt you. I know that nothing I say now can make up for the harm I caused you back then, but I truly feel that I was wrong now, and I hope you can forgive me."
Gu's father and Cao Yating had already discussed the matter of kneeling.
He also said that he couldn't mention Jiang Tingzhou's identity in front of Xu Wan.
Cao Yating certainly didn't want to kneel down to Xu Wan. The two of them thought Xu Wan was an easy target, and that as long as they came over to apologize, Xu Wan would definitely forgive them because they were their elders.
Jiang Tingzhou's sudden appearance disrupted the two's plans.
"you……"
Xu Wan was stunned. She took a step forward, wanting to help Cao Yating up, but Jiang Tingzhou grabbed her arm.
The man said coldly, "You've only been kneeling for a few seconds, and you already expect forgiveness?"
"..."
Cao Yating was dumbfounded.
Xu Wan just said that there are surveillance cameras here. She is, after all, the wife of the CEO of Gu's Group. She has completely lost face.
To avoid offending Jiang Tingzhou, Gu's father quickly said, "Kneel down, or you won't learn your lesson!"
Cao Yating knew that she was helping her husband by doing this, and if she offended Jiang Tingzhou, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But back then, when she went to Xu Wan's house to cause trouble, Gu's father gave his approval.
Now he's making her kneel alone, and he's not even speaking up for her.
Cao Yating felt increasingly aggrieved.
Xu Wan stood there for less than half a minute, but she couldn't bear to watch any longer. She reached out and took Cao Yating's arm, saying, "Forget it, it's all in the past."
Gu's father glanced at Jiang Tingzhou's stern face and said, "Let her kneel for a while longer."
Xu Wan gently shook her head, "No need, I forgive you, don't kneel."
Cao Yating didn't dare to get up, but instead raised her head.
When he looked up, his eyes met Xu Wan's beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Cao Yating had never really looked at Xu Wan before. Only today, at such close range, did she notice that Xu Wan had a standard oval face with delicate features. In particular, her eyes were like a clear mountain spring, revealing a kindness and clarity rarely seen in her circle.
In that one glance, Cao Yating seemed to suddenly understand her son.
Seeing that Cao Yating didn't move, Xu Wan said again, "Auntie, get up. It's all over now. I understand how you feel. You were just protecting your son. After all, the kind of wife a man marries can determine the rest of his life. I've always understood why you don't accept me."
"I……"
Cao Yating listened to the girl's gentle voice and felt a pang of regret.
"Get up. Today is my husband's first day at the law firm. There are many colleagues waiting for him outside. You should leave now. I will also have this surveillance footage deleted. I just hope that when you see my grandmother in the neighborhood in the future, you will be polite to her."
Xu Wan's voice was gentle, neither humble nor arrogant.
Cao Yating stood up, looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, and finally said from the bottom of her heart, "I'm sorry."
When Gu's father saw his wife stand up, he looked nervously at Jiang Tingzhou.
At this moment, the man's gaze calmly fell on Xu Wan, a slight smile playing on his lips, seemingly showing no anger.
After listening to Xu Wan's words, he said to the Gu couple, "My wife is the one who makes the decisions in our family. She said she forgives you, so you can leave now."
