"Wait a minute, Auntie, let me write things down first before we talk about personal matters."
Xu Wan focused on her work.
Xu Pingshan sighed, knowing she could only wait.
After Xu Wan finished recording what needed to be recorded, she looked up and asked, "Auntie, what did you ask me just now?"
Xu Pingshan repeated the question she had just asked.
Xu Wan thought about it carefully before answering: "It should be, and it seems to be quite large, but I haven't asked him what it does specifically. When I married him, I was just worried that my uncle would accept other people's dowry without my knowledge, so he didn't say anything and I didn't ask either."
During this time, Xu Wan also discovered that Jiang Tingzhou was not only a lawyer, but his family must also be very wealthy.
Otherwise, An Yunya wouldn't care about him so much.
However, Xu Wan herself didn't care about any of these things.
“…” Xu Pingshan paused for a moment, “Actually, I was having dinner with a friend yesterday and saw An Yunya. My friend said that An Yunya and Jiang Tingzhou are engaged, so I asked her about it, afraid that you might be deceived.”
Since Xu Wan didn't know, she chose not to reveal Jiang Tingzhou's identity for the time being.
Xu Wan's expression didn't change at all after hearing this.
She stood up, walked over and sat down next to Xu Pingshan, took Xu Pingshan's arm, and said affectionately, "Thank you for worrying about me, Auntie. Jiang Tingzhou told me everything about An Yunya. Their two families have business dealings, so it's impossible for them to break off relations. Besides, Jiang Tingzhou and I are legally married. He treats me very well, and I trust him completely."
“By the way, when you were about five years old, your sister brought you to Beicheng to work as a live-in nanny for a wealthy family. Do you remember?” Xu Pingshan asked again.
Xu Wan tilted her head and thought seriously for a long time before gently shaking her head: "I seem to have a vague impression, but I can't remember it very clearly."
Xu Pingshan could tell that Xu Wan was living a very happy life.
She didn't want to disrupt her current happy life because of her speculations, so she chose to remain silent.
In the afternoon, while Xu Wan was busy drafting the divorce agreement, her phone rang.
She glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar landline number.
Because she works in the legal profession, Xu Wan answers every phone call.
"Hello, this is lawyer Xu Wan."
Xu Wan considered him a client and naturally adopted a professional attitude.
No one answered the phone immediately.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
Xu Wan asked again.
There was a silence of about ten seconds on the other end of the phone before a voice finally spoke: "Wanwan, this is your mother."
When the familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, Xu Wan's eyes instantly filled with tears!
Prison inmates are allowed to call their families, usually about twice a month.
Ever since Xu Wan got a cell phone number when she went to university, she registered her number with the prison's family phone number.
However, over all these years, Xu Pingrong has never called her even once.
This is the first time.
"Mom, Mom," Xu Wan asked, fighting back tears, "How have you been in prison lately?"
"Well, Wanwan, Mom just wanted to tell you that the latest sentence reduction announcement has ended, and my sentence has been reduced by another four months. After this reduction, I should be able to get out of prison next month."
Xu Pingrong's voice was hoarse.
Having spent ten years in prison, her release should have been an exciting event, but precisely because of the long time she had been there, her voice was devoid of emotion.
"Really?" Xu Wan gripped the phone tightly, trying to suppress her excitement. "Then I'll come pick you up next month. My husband and I have already decorated your room. It has a balcony and good lighting. Once we're done, we'll live together and never be apart again!"
Xu Wan never expected that her mother's first phone call would bring such good news!
Xu Pingrong was unaware of Jiang Tingzhou's attitude and worried that his daughter was acting on her own.
Instead of answering Xu Wan's question, she asked, "Wanwan, you're about three months pregnant, right? How have you been feeling lately? Is your morning sickness severe?"
