After Tang Lu got into the car, she looked into the man's eyes through the car window and felt a chill run down her spine.
She asked Xu Wan, "Xu Wan, when can we get a divorce?"
Jiang Tingzhou was driving. Xu Wan turned to Tang Lu and said apologetically, "In the current divorce case, as long as he doesn't agree to the divorce, it's very difficult to get a divorce in the first instance. And you can only appeal again in six months, so you need to be prepared for a long battle."
Tang Lu's expression froze for a few seconds, revealing a hint of despair. "But he beat me like this, I'm almost dead, and the court still won't let us get a divorce? Another six months? What if my parents won't let me go back to live here? Are they going to wait until I'm beaten to death before they'll let us get a divorce?"
"Tang Lu, I..."
"Divorce decisions in China have always been handled with great care, and I hope you can understand."
Jiang Tingzhou interrupted Xu Wan and explained the situation on her behalf.
Tang Lu opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words and said, "I understand. In any case, let's wait for the court hearing."
Jiang Tingzhou drove to Tang Lu's parents' house.
After Tang Lu got out of the car, there were only the two of them in the car.
Jiang Tingzhou held Xu Wan's hand and said, "Your uncle's case is about to go to trial. I'm almost ready. There are still a few details I'd like to ask you about. If you don't want to recall them, I won't ask."
"You can ask me, it's okay."
Xu Wan knew that, as the person involved, she should cooperate with her lawyer.
Jiang Tingzhou placed his hand on the woman's stomach, "I'm worried that if you get pregnant, I don't want our baby to hear these things."
Xu Wan's cheeks flushed red: "You think getting pregnant is too simple. Many of our clients who come for consultations can't get pregnant for various reasons, and some can't even conceive even though everything is normal."
"If that's the case, I'll get a medical checkup."
Jiang Tingzhou spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Xu Wan was slightly surprised, "Why?"
The man laughed and said, "Because I'm older and often have to socialize, you're so young, you definitely won't have any problems."
Xu Wan has been at Tianyuan for so long. Among the clients who come to her for divorce counseling because they cannot get pregnant, many of them are women who have undergone various tests and taken various medications, but the men firmly believe that there is no problem and are unwilling to undergo tests.
People like Jiang Tingzhou, who are willing to get checked out on their own initiative, are really rare.
Xu Wan said, "No, if I'm not pregnant, then it must be that the baby wants us to have more time to ourselves."

Tianyuan Law Firm pays salaries on the 10th of each month.
After receiving her salary, Xu Wan planned to buy Jiang Tingzhou a birthday present as her first task.
Jiang Tingzhou happened to be away on a business trip these past two days, so she didn't need to hide the fact that she went to buy a gift after get off work.
It was a Wednesday.
Five minutes before the end of the workday, Xu Wanzheng's salary arrived in her account. She took a moment to check on her phone how many shopping malls in Beicheng had the Longines brand.
Su Qiong walked over, tapped on her desk, and asked, "Your case goes to trial next week, right?"
"Um."
Are you going to appear in court?
"Yes."
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Qiong asked the question she wanted to ask: "Would you mind if I sat in on the class?"
She had previously mentioned wanting to attend the hearing of this case.
Not only because Xu Wan was the plaintiff, but more importantly, she wanted to see how Jiang Tingzhou would handle the lawsuit.
As a company president, Su Qiong didn't think Jiang Tingzhou was particularly good at litigation. Why would he take on such an important case himself instead of entrusting it to a professional lawyer?
This is so bizarre.
Even if what Xu Wan's uncle and Liu Xing did will definitely result in a prison sentence, a good lawyer can find different angles and potentially get them a heavier sentence.
Su Ziyu always said that Jiang Tingzhou was a cautious person.
This decision doesn't seem to have been made with sufficient care.
Su Qiong then confirmed with Xu Wan: "Did Jiang Tingzhou really tell you that he would personally handle this case? I suggest you ask him. Don't be stubborn. There's a big difference between non-litigation and criminal litigation. Let professionals handle professional matters."
