Thinking about Lin Yu's situation, Xu Wan felt that Jiang Tingzhou's behavior was completely understandable.
As the two walked toward the mall, Jiang Tingzhou told Xu Wan about Ji Tong's family situation.
Ji Tong comes from a family of lawyers; both her parents are lawyers and her family owns a law firm. She also has an aunt who is a judge. She attended an ordinary university for her undergraduate degree and took the postgraduate entrance exam twice before finally being admitted to China University of Political Science and Law. After graduation, she did not follow her parents' wishes to become a lawyer but instead joined Tianwei Legal Department.
After saying these basic things, Jiang Tingzhou said, "Judging from her experience, she has no blemishes and is very suitable to be your friend."
Xu Wan couldn't help but complain: "You're giving me the feeling that I'll have to vet you before I can make any friends."
"No, it's just that we've suddenly become close, so I might investigate." Jiang Tingzhou squeezed the woman's hand tightly. "I don't mean anything by it, it's just that I have a lot of enemies, and I'm afraid it will implicate you."
Xu Wan took the man's arm and said with a smile, "Then go ahead and investigate. Besides, I'm not afraid of being implicated by you."
The two walked into the mall together.
She browsed from the first floor to the third floor, then returned to the first floor. Finally, in a luxury store, she chose a star chart rose bracelet, priced at just over 10,000 yuan, which was within Xu Wan's acceptable range and wouldn't put too much burden on Ji Tong.

On Ji Tong's birthday, as previously mentioned, Ji Tong asked for leave during his lunch break and left.
When he got off work, Jiang Tingzhou first took Xu Wan home to change her clothes before taking her to a restaurant.
Ji Tong's birthday party was held in a relatively niche private club in Beicheng, which could only accommodate a few tables of guests. However, the venue was very large, and each private room had a sofa and a wine cabinet in addition to a dining table.
There is also a swimming pool downstairs.
However, it was winter, and when Xu went there in the evening, he saw that the swimming pool was covered with something, clearly prohibiting people from going into the water.
Jiang Tingzhou escorted Xu Wan to the door, glanced at the situation inside, and said, "Call me when you're done, and I'll come pick you up."
After saying goodbye to the man, Xu Wan went up to the second floor according to the private room number Ji Tong had given her.
The clubhouse is designed in an unconventional way; if you come at night, it feels like you're wandering through a maze.
After taking a few steps around, Xu Wan happened to run into someone. As if seeing a savior, she ran over and said, "Hello, excuse me, how do I get this Bodhisattva Man private room... Lin Yu?"
Xu Wan had just given the name of the private room when she realized that the person she had asked for directions was actually Lin Yu!
"Lawyer sister? Are you coming to eat too?"
Lin Yu was clearly pleased to see Xu Wan.
He was dressed differently today than usual; he wore a dark sweater, which made him look more composed.
But that smile while speaking reveals his true nature.
"Yes, it's a friend's birthday," Xu Wan admitted.
“Is this the Bodhisattva Man private room? I think I just saw it. I’ll take you there.” Lin Yu said as they walked. “A classmate of mine just signed a contract with a big game company last week and invited us to dinner here. It’s my first time here too, and I’ve been wandering around and can’t find the door.”
Xu Wan followed behind Lin Yu, glancing at the boy's face every now and then.
Lin Yu appeared very natural, but Xu Wan vaguely recalled Cheng Xue's words.
Although the club had a unique design and wasn't very large, Lin Yu quickly led Xu Wan to the private room. Just as they arrived at the door, it was opened from the inside.
Ji Tong, dressed up carefully, stood at the door. When she saw Xu Wan, she noticed Lin Yu behind her and said with a smile, "Oh, who is this family member? I've never seen her before."
Before Xu Wan could speak, Lin Yu said first, "My name is Lin Yu, and I'm the lawyer's client. Is it your birthday? Happy birthday."
"Thank you." Ji Tong reached out and pulled Xu Wan inside. "You're always the most punctual. They're all notoriously late, and only a few of them showed up, leaving me, the birthday girl, to wait for them!"
Xu Wan looked inside and saw that there were only two or three other people besides them, and the cold dishes on the table were almost all served.
Lin Yu waved from the doorway: "Lawyer sister, birthday sister, I'm going back now. Have fun!"
Ji Tong watched Lin Yu's light and quick retreating figure and shook his head repeatedly: "This kind of person is unreliable. You absolutely must not be blinded by this young heartthrob and dump our President Jiang!"
