Jiang Tingzhou didn't chase after Xu Wan. Instead, he went to the parking lot across the street and got into the back seat of a black Rolls-Royce.
The assistant, who was driving, saw the red marriage certificate in Jiang Tingzhou's hand in the rearview mirror and asked cautiously, "Mr. Jiang, did you really register your marriage with Ms. Xu? What happened back then..."
"Alright, she probably doesn't remember anymore, so let's not mention it." Jiang Tingzhou flipped open the marriage certificate, glanced at the woman's youthful face in the photo, and instructed, "Buy a house near her law firm, make sure it's well-furnished, and set up a study inside. Also buy a car, two or three hundred thousand will do."

Xu worked overtime until 10 p.m. for three consecutive days, rushing to catch the last subway home.
"Xu Wan!" As soon as Xu Wan entered the house, she was blocked at the door by her uncle Xu Jiashan. "Why are you back so late again? Liu Xing came to the house and waited for you until after nine o'clock. His mother urged him three times, so he had no choice but to go back."
Liu Xing is the son of Xu Jiashan's friend. He is 34 years old this year. Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, Xu Jiashan has been trying to bring them together.
Last month, she overheard Xu Jiashan saying that he was planning to accept the Liu family's betrothal gifts first, which is why he was in a hurry to find someone to marry.
Xu Wan put her bag on the sofa by the door. "Uncle, I've already registered my marriage with my boyfriend."
"What did you say?" Xu Jiashan's expression turned ferocious for a second, but he immediately spoke in a kind tone, "You're joking with your uncle, right? Where did you get a boyfriend from?"
"real."
Xu Wan picked up her bag and took out the marriage certificate she had received a few days ago.
Xu Jiashan snatched the marriage certificate away, glanced at it, and threw it at Xu Wan's face, cursing, "Xu Wan, have you no shame? Tell me where you found this wild man, he's 31! If you're so desperate for a man, why don't you marry Liu Xing? He's only in his thirties too!"
"No matter what you say, I'm already married. You should return the betrothal gifts you accepted from the Liu family as soon as possible, lest someone sue you."
Xu Wan bent down, picked up the marriage certificate, and walked into the house.
Grandma was already asleep at this time, and she didn't want to argue with Xu Jiashan and disturb her.
"Yes, the bride price!" Xu Jiashan grabbed Xu Wan's arm. "Where's the bride price? You didn't pocket it all, did you? How many years has your mother been locked up? She's been eating and living at our house all these years. Try not giving her any money!"
"What's wrong? Is Wanwan back?"
Grandma's voice came from the bedroom.
I still woke her up.
"Okay, Grandma, you should go to sleep." After answering her grandmother, Xu Wan turned to look at Xu Jiashan, whose face was contorted with anger, and whispered, "Uncle, you know best who has been a freeloader at home all these years and who has been paying you. If you insist on making trouble for me, what you've done is enough for me to send you to jail too."
Xu Jiashan gritted his teeth in anger, but had no choice but to let go of Xu Wan's hand.
Xu Wan knew that Xu Jiashan would not give up so easily, so she should still ask Jiang Tingzhou to come to her house.
She only remembered when she took out her phone...
She left in a hurry on Monday and forgot to get Jiang Tingzhou's phone number!
Even worse, she didn't even know who his company was.
Xu Wan's drowsiness dissipated considerably, and after thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a feasible method.
The matchmaking party was recommended to her by her lawyer, Su Qiong. Su Qiong should know the party organizers and might be able to find the list of attendees.
Even if there is no contact information, the name of Jiang Tingzhou's company should be listed above.

The following day, a case that Xu Wan was in charge of went to court at 2 p.m.
She had been an intern at the law firm for a year, assisting lawyer Su Qiong with tasks such as writing legal documents and organizing case files and evidence.
Although this case this afternoon was a small one, it was the first case she had handled independently since joining the law firm, and it was very important to her.
Xu Wan was busy all morning, and it wasn't until after lunch that she had time to go to Su Qiong's office to see her.
After the two finished discussing the lawsuit that afternoon, Xu Wan cautiously asked, "Sister Su, do you have the list of people for the blind date party on Saturday? I'd like to... find someone."
Su Qiong asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you have your eye on a handsome guy but were too shy to ask for his contact information?"
