He Wenqian spoke again, and no one noticed the conversation between Su Qiong and Xu Wan.
Xu Wan gently shook her head: "I haven't seen it."
"Never seen him before?" Su Qiong rested her chin on her hand. "I'm actually quite curious about this Jiang Xuanzhou. As his name suggests, he's been talked about in an incredibly mysterious way, like some kind of master. But to me, he's just an ordinary person with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth."
“He was my mother’s lawyer during the final appeal of her case. The first two lawyers came to me, but he didn’t,” Xu Wan said softly, her eyes lowered. “At the time, I felt he was irresponsible, but now I think he probably wanted to protect me and didn’t want me to recall those things and be hurt emotionally again.”
Su Qiong blinked: "If you put it that way, he seems much more humane."
Xu Wan did not actually witness her parents' case back then.
When her father found out that the money was for her to pay for a spring outing, he knocked her unconscious in a few blows.
When she woke up again, her mother had already killed her father.
She didn't know exactly what happened in between.
Perhaps for this reason, Jiang Tingzhou never came to ask her about it again.
As Xu Wan reminisced about the past, her phone chimed with a WeChat message.
This message came from Jiang Tingzhou.
The two of them added each other on WeChat a few days ago.
Jiang Tingzhou's WeChat account is very simple, containing only the letter "J". He hasn't opened his Moments feature yet, and there's no entry point for it.
J: [I've arrived in Beicheng, just got off the plane. You're having a get-together today, right? Where is it? When does it end? I'll come pick you up.]
Xu Wan felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the man's message.
Her parents' unhappy marriage had already made her hopeless about marriage.
During their marriage, everything Jiang Tingzhou did made her feel like the lucky one.
Xu Wan replied: 【It's not certain yet. You go home first, I'll just take a taxi home myself.】
Jiang Tingzhou just got back from his business trip; he must be exhausted.
She didn't want him to suffer.
J: [It's okay, just tell me the address, I'll go back and change my clothes before I head over. It'll take about an hour. I'll wait for you when I get there.]
Xu Wan replied with a single word, "Okay," in the message box.
She had just sent the message when Su Qiong next to her made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound.
"You're texting your husband, aren't you? Look how sweet you are. I don't even need to check the messages; just looking at your face makes me feel like I'm eating dog food." Su Qiong put a piece of vegetable on Xu Wan's plate. "Eating too much sugar can cause internal heat. Eat some vegetables to cool down."
Xu Wan blushed.
Su Qiong asked, "Is your husband coming to pick you up later?"
Xu Wan: "Yes, he went on a business trip a few days ago. He just got off the plane, went home to change his clothes, and came over."
Su Qiong's heart was racing, but she dared not show it on her face. She calmly said, "My brother said before that your husband is not very romantic, which is why he is still single in his thirties. He seems to be a completely different person from the one you described."
What surprised Su Qiong was not Jiang Tingzhou's favoritism towards Xu Wan.
More importantly, it's because Jiang Tingzhou, as the boss of Tianwei Group with a net worth of hundreds of billions, could still treat Xu Wan like this.
Su Qiong had seen too many playboys who had a bit of money and liked to toy with girls' feelings; someone like Jiang Tingzhou was a rare find.
"What? Cousin, your husband is coming to pick you up later?"
The table was quite large, but Dong Yuanyuan's ears seemed to have some kind of device installed, allowing her to hear Su Qiong and Xu Wan's conversation.
Su Qiong immediately became angry and her face fell: "What kind of bad habit is this of yours, eavesdropping on our conversation?"
"Oh, no, I just happened to hear it."
Dong Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed.
Her attention was focused on Pei Zhao, but Pei Zhao kept looking at Xu Wan, and she accidentally overheard their conversation.
The main reason for saying this was to make Pei Zhao give up on Xu Wan.
Whether Xu Wan is married or not, her alluring face will always attract men's attention!
The dinner party lasted until 9:30 pm.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they left the private room together.
Su Qiong and Xu Wan walked together, and Pei Zhao followed.
He asked cautiously, "Attorney Su, is it true that Attorney Jiang might become a partner at Tianyuan?"
Su Qiong shrugged. "I have indeed heard that, but I don't know if it will actually happen."
