Jiang Tingzhou first truthfully stated that he had a social engagement that evening, and then said, "But I will come to pick you up after your dinner party."
Xu Wan refused, "Won't that interfere with your social engagement? I can go back by myself."
Jiang Tingzhou reached out and squeezed the woman's wrist. "Don't worry, I can manage both."
Xu Pingshan, sitting in the back row, kept sighing, "Oh my, my niece's husband is truly a man of exceptional quality. You two should have a baby soon, and I'll help you take care of it."
Jiang Tingzhou was driving and couldn't turn his head, so he looked at Xu Pingshan's face through the rearview mirror and said, "Thank you in advance, Auntie."
Xu Wan calls Xu Pingshan "Auntie," and he calls her that too.
Xu Pingshan beamed with joy, "I always keep my word, and I'm just waiting for your good news."
"Yes, we'll try our best."
Jiang Tingzhou's expression remained normal as he spoke.
Xu Wan, standing to the side, had already blushed.
Jiang Tingzhou first took Xu Pingshan home, and then went back to the company with Xu Wan.
On her way to the company, Xu Wan couldn't help but ask, "About Lin Yu..."
"He borrowed money to speculate on Bitcoin, lost it all, and then got taken advantage of by someone." After giving a brief explanation, Jiang Tingzhou said, "That's all I can tell you. Leave the rest to me. Don't worry, no one will die. I'll just teach him a small lesson. The important thing is who took advantage of him."
"Those who exploit him..."
"Wanwan." Before Xu Wan could finish speaking, Jiang Tingzhou said, "We're going to sue the An family. This time, I will make the An family pay the price for what happened back then."
The man's words were tantamount to telling her the answer to the problem.
Xu Wan nodded, "Okay."

In the evening, Xu Wan went directly to Xu Pingshan's house after get off work.
When she arrived, she found that Xu Pingshan's house looked like it had been renovated. The interior design had changed, and almost all the furniture had been replaced with cream-colored pieces, which looked warm and soft.
Ma Xiaolin, who was watching TV in the living room, saw her come in and quickly jumped over, "Sister! You're finally here."
As Xu Wan changed her shoes, she said, "I just got off work."
After changing her shoes, Ma Xiaolin pulled her inside, saying, "Look, what do you think of our new furniture? My mom and I picked it all out together!"
The living room used to have a stuffy leather sofa, but now it's been replaced with a white sofa that looks like a cloud.
She hesitated to sit down, first touching it with her hand to make sure it was hard before sitting on it.
"Isn't this sofa beautiful? I've been looking at it for so long. Ma Jun was the one who decided on all the previous decorations for our house. They were tacky, expensive, and ugly. This time, we chose one that my mom and I both like. It's a way of celebrating that we've gotten rid of that jerk!"
Ma Xiaolin was also sitting on the sofa.
Xu Wan glanced at the kitchen.
The kitchen is semi-open; through the glass sliding door, you can see Xu Pingrong, Xu Pingshan, and the nanny all busy in the kitchen.
Xu Wan felt it wasn't good for her to be idle, so she said, "I'll go check on the kitchen."
She was about to get up when Ma Xiaolin stopped her, saying, "Don't go to the kitchen. My kitchen is so small, it can't fit so many people."
Ma Xiaolin chatted with Xu Wan.
One minute they'd ask about the legal profession, the next they'd ask about Jiang Tingzhou.
About an hour later, Xu Pingshan came out to invite everyone to eat.
The family sat together at the table, and Xu Pingshan took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet. "This is the best wine in my wine cabinet. It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan a bottle. I've always been reluctant to drink it before, but I'll drink it today to celebrate my new life!"
"Okay! I want to drink too!"
Ma Xiaolin was the first to raise her hand.
Xu Pingshan took the cup away from her, saying, "You can't, you're still a minor."
"Mom! Don't be stingy, we drink at our class reunions too!" Ma Xiaolin reached out and grabbed the wine glass in protest.
Seeing that Xu Pingshan was hesitant, Xu Wan advised, "Why don't you let Xiaolin have a little drink? Maybe after drinking some good wine, she won't be interested in the bad stuff when she goes out."
“Sister is right!” Ma Xiaolin agreed, then realized something, “Sister, are you talking about wine? I feel like there’s something more to what you’re saying.”
Xu Pingshan understood. "Your sister was implying something. When you look for a boyfriend in the future, you should follow your brother-in-law's standards. I don't expect you to find someone as good as your brother-in-law, but he can't be too far off either."
"Mom, if you want me to stay with you for the rest of your life, just say so. You don't have to beat around the bush like this."
Ma Xiaolin's words made everyone laugh.
Xu Pingshan took the glass of red wine in front of Xu Wan, intending to pour it for her, but Xu Wan quickly shook her head: "Auntie, Tingzhou and I are planning to have a baby, so we won't be drinking anytime soon."
