Xiaoxiao's smartwatch is on speakerphone.
Jiang Tingzhou overheard Xu Wan's conversation with Ke Shanshan.
After Xiaoxiao went to sleep that night, Xu Wan went to the 37th floor to apply medicine to the man.
She was sitting on the bench at the foot of the bed in the bedroom, having just applied medicine with a cotton swab, when the man grabbed her wrist. "I'm leaving on Saturday. Are you going to have dinner with Yuan Shuxin and the others on Friday?"
Xu Wan then realized that she should indeed have reserved Friday night for Jiang Tingzhou.
Xu Wan moved her hand slightly, wiping the man's still slightly red and swollen wound with the cotton swab. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about this, since I have some time these days, where are you doing your rehabilitation? I'll come and see you, okay?"
“No need,” Jiang Tingzhou immediately refused.
"You're not planning to disappear after the surgery, are you?"
Xu Wan became somewhat wary.
She was genuinely afraid of waking up one day and suddenly not being able to contact the man.
Jiang Tingzhou lowered his hand, turned slightly to look at the woman who was applying ointment to his arm wound, and said in a deep voice, "No, it won't happen."
“Then I need your surgery address and the location for your rehabilitation. I’ll go there if I have time, otherwise…” Xu Wan paused slightly, looked at the man, and thought for a moment before saying, “Otherwise I’ll delete your number from Xiaoxiao’s smartwatch, and then tell her that her father is dead and find her a new father.”
To express her stance, she deliberately poked the man's wound with the cotton swab in her hand with a little force.
Logically, there should have been pain, but the man didn't even flinch.
He simply reached out and put his arm around the woman's waist. "I can tell you," he said, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "You'd better let me know before you come. I don't want you to see me looking too disheveled."
Xu Wan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Tingzhou took the cotton swab from the woman's hand, pulled her onto his lap, and said, "No need for the medicine, let's chat."
He's leaving on Saturday.
We met again two months later.
Jiang Tingzhou secretly hoped to leave with Xu Wan. With his financial resources, he could easily settle Xu Wan and Xiao Xiao in the vicinity of the hospital.
Not doing so would mean that even if the surgery is successful, his recovery process might be quite difficult at the beginning.
He didn't want Xu Wan and Xiao Xiao to see this.
He hoped that when they met again, he would be standing in front of them as a man whose body was about to recover, a husband and father who could give them enough security.
"What should we talk about?" Xu Wan pondered for a moment. "How about we talk about the law firm? I've been thinking about it recently, and with my current abilities, opening a law firm would indeed be very challenging, but I'd be willing to give it a try."
"Okay, wait for me to come back, and we'll do it together."
Xu Wan didn't really take the man's words seriously.
She knew very well that when Jiang Tingzhou returned to China, it would be time to take back everything she had lost.
He not only reclaimed Tianwei Group, but he also certainly won't let Jiang De'an off easily.
However, Xu Wan didn't care about any of that, as long as the man came back.
She nodded repeatedly. "Well... I'm having dinner with Attorney Yuan on Friday. Should I tell them about my plan to open a law firm?"
"Go ahead and tell me, but don't mention who the other partner is for now."
"I'm not stupid!" Xu Wan couldn't help but protest. "If I told Attorney Yuan that the other partner was Jiang Xuanzhou, he would definitely think that I've had mental problems after being widowed for four years, and he would probably call an ambulance to take me to the hospital right there at the dinner!"
"It's my fault," the man said indulgently.
Xu Wan said seriously, "I will tell him that I have a few suitable candidates for the other partner. We are still in communication and have not made a final decision yet."
Jiang Tingzhou had realized that his wife had matured rapidly in the past few years and no longer needed his help.
He simply leaned in and kissed her, saying, "Tell me when the dinner party is almost over on Friday, and I'll come pick you up."
-
The dinner is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday at a reservation-only restaurant in the northern part of the city.
Ke Shanshan informed Xu Wan in advance of the guest list for tonight's dinner party, which included the two partners, Yuan Shuxin and Zhou Yu.
In addition, Su Qiong, Pei Zhao and others also participated.
In any case, Yuan Shuxin, Zhou Yu, and Su Qiong are all his seniors.
Out of respect for her seniors, Xu Wan arrived at the restaurant 40 minutes early.
Lu Wei left after dropping her off.
Xu Wan walked into the restaurant alone. When she entered the main hall, she saw a man standing at the cashier, giving instructions to the staff.
As she entered, the man turned his head and looked at her with a hint of surprise on his face, "Xu...Xu Wan."
What a coincidence, Gu Qing is also here for a social gathering tonight.
