Su Ziyu organized a dinner party tonight and notified Jiang Tingzhou well in advance.
Jiang Tingzhou turned down a dinner invitation on Monday because of Xu Wan, and was scolded by Su Ziyu for "valuing women over friends".
After Xu Wan returned home alone, Jiang Tingzhou went to Su Ziyu's gathering.
When Xu Wan made the call, Su Ziyu's first round of drinks was almost over. As was customary, everyone would find a club to continue drinking.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tingzhou asked, "Ziyu, what kind of car do you drive?"
"Huh? My car was sent for maintenance, so I just drove one from the garage today."
Su Ziyu reached into his pocket and placed a Maserati car key on the table.
This car was bought by Su Ziyu nine years ago when she first joined the company, using the bonus she received for her first deal. It has great sentimental value, which is why she has kept it all this time.
Jiang Tingzhou put the Rolls-Royce car key from his pocket on the table, took Su Ziyu's car key, and said, "Xu Wan has some things to take care of at home, so I'll switch cars with you for a bit."
"Okay, my car is parked in a corner, it's a bit hard to find, I'll take you there."
Su Ziyu and Jiang Tingzhou were on good terms, so Su Ziyu didn't stand on ceremony with him.
The two walked out of the private room together, and Su Ziyu said, "Brother Jiang, how long are you going to keep pretending to be poor? This can't be kept secret forever, it'll be exposed sooner or later."
"Let's wait and see. She's dissatisfied with her mother's verdict back then, and she also has a lot of complaints about me, her lawyer. If she knew that I was the one who was wrong back then, she'd probably go for a divorce tomorrow."
When Jiang Tingzhou talked about this, his expression revealed a hint of bitterness.
"How can this be blamed on you? You lawyers did everything you were supposed to do. In the end, it's just a matter of seeing how the judge rules."
Su Ziyu didn't understand at all.
“If I were Xu Wan, I might also feel that my mother was innocent,” Jiang Tingzhou said. “And if I had been more mature back then, perhaps her mother would have been sentenced to a shorter term.”
Su Ziyu carefully examined Jiang Tingzhou and said in a teasing tone, "I can tell, you married her because you felt guilty, right? If she knew, she would divorce you too."
Jiang Tingzhou remained silent.
Su Ziyu was right. Based on the background checks and documents from the lawsuit years ago, he felt great sympathy for Xu Wan, the young girl.
After the lawsuit was adjudicated, he anonymously funded Xu Wan's education.
The reason he proposed marriage to Xu Wan at the blind date party that day was out of a feeling similar to sympathy.
but.
This feeling seems to be quietly changing in the short two weeks since the wedding.

Jiang Tingzhou drove Su Ziyu's car to Liu Yingjun's building and ran upstairs without delay.
He knocked on the door once, and someone opened it.
The person who opened the door was a man in his forties, and you could tell from his eyebrows and eyes that he was probably a member of the Xu family.
"Are you Xu Wan's husband?"
Xu Jiashan opened the door and looked Jiang Tingzhou up and down. Although his expression was still somewhat displeased, his eyes betrayed his surprise.
He never expected that Xu Wan's husband would be such a handsome and talented man!
However, when Xu Pingrong was in court, he felt ashamed and only cooperated with the initial two investigations, never going to the investigations again.
He had met the lawyers who had just started representing Xu Pingrong, but he had never met Jiang Tingzhou.
Jiang Tingzhou glanced into the room and immediately understood the situation, asking directly, "How is Grandma?"
"Jiang Tingzhou, could you come in and help my grandma?"
Xu Wan called from inside the house.
Jiang Tingzhou glanced at Xu Jiashan, who was blocking the doorway, grabbed his wrist with one hand, lifted his arm, and strode into the room.
Xu Jiashan was furious, but he held back for the time being because of Jiang Tingzhou's outstanding appearance and demeanor.
Jiang Tingzhou walked to the sofa, first inquired about Liu Yingjun's condition, then half-squatted down and carried the old woman downstairs.
Xu Jiashan originally didn't want to go.
But he wanted to see what kind of car Jiang Tingzhou was driving, so he followed him down.
After going downstairs, his eyes lit up when he saw the million-dollar Maserati parked below. "This, this is your car?"
His voice was so excited that he even stuttered a little.
