Chapter 69 "When are you getting a divorce?"
Jiang Zheng's case was meticulously investigated, and it was eventually proven that the seriously injured victim had been bribed and was suspected of being deliberately framed. He was only sentenced to one year in prison.
That year, Wenxi visited him once or twice a month regularly, and that's how they became familiar with each other.
After Jiang Zheng was released from prison, his relationship with his father gradually improved, and he opened a bar not far from Zhongda to make a living.
Jiang Zheng drifts through life, but he has a wide network of connections.
Knowing that Wenxi was involved in non-litigation work, he used his father's resources to bring in cases for Wenxi everywhere.
Wenxi has always kept public and private matters separate, and she has never treated him unfairly. She signed an agreement with him, and he will receive whatever amount is due.
This year, Wenxi turned to litigation. Jiang Zheng's bar is a mixed bag, where you can see all sorts of people and things.
This provided Wenxi with a steady stream of cases, and the two continued their collaboration.
When the topic of gifts came up, Wenxi thought of the apology gift she wanted to give to Shang Chen.
She surveyed Jiang Zheng's bar area, her gaze settling on the wall behind the bar.
Jiang Zheng is a cup collector.
The young master is not short of money. He flies all over the country every year, and his secret stash of money goes to these things.
Wenxi glanced at it: "Can you sell me two cups?"
Jiang Zheng: "What's it for?"
"For my husband."
"Not for sale!"
Jiang Zheng refused without even thinking.
Wenxi: "Never mind then, I'll go look around somewhere else."
Jiang Zheng thought about how she had gone out in this freezing weather just to pick out a gift for the old man in her family, and gritted her teeth and said, "Just this once."
Bai Wei looked at him in surprise, "Young Master Jiang, aren't these cups your precious treasures?"
Back then, some people got drunk and caused trouble at the bar, breaking several of Jiang Zheng's glasses in the fight. Jiang Zheng immediately had them taken to the police station and then asked Wen Xi to file a lawsuit, refusing to settle the matter privately.
Bai Wei joked at the time that even if his own father were beaten, he might not be this angry.
Now, they actually agreed to let Wen Lu take it and give it away?
Jiang Zheng gave Bai Wei a cold look. "Would you die if you didn't say something?"
Bai Wei honestly replied, "If I don't let gossips talk, I'll suffocate."
Jiang Zheng: "..."
While Wenxi was choosing a cup, Jiang Zheng made a sarcastic remark from the side: "What good things did that old man do in his past life to be able to arrange a marriage between you since childhood?"
Wenxi: "Maybe... his family's ancestral graves were buried in a good direction?"
Jiang Zheng was secretly puzzled and prepared to go back and ask his father to repair the family's ancestral graves.
Maybe there's still hope for him?
Finally, Wenxi selected a pair of exquisitely designed vintage-style cups. They were of excellent quality and felt like high-end works of art when held in her hand.
"This is the only pair left. How much?"
Jiang Zheng said in a low voice, "It's yours, as a wedding gift."
Wenxi: "No."
"You can give me the wedding gift at my wedding, but this is the gift I want to give to my husband."
Jiang Zheng was so angry with Wen Xi that he almost vomited blood.
"These are a pair of rare, discontinued cups, totaling 20,000 yuan."
Wenxi picked up her phone and gave Jiang Zheng money: "Twenty-eight thousand, for good luck, the rest is for airfare."
Many of the cups in Jiang Zheng's possession are collectibles, and acquiring them would cost far more than the stated price.
Jiang Zheng: "...Do you really have to be so meticulous with me?"
"Let's get to the bottom of this so we can stay friends." After saying that, Wen Xi turned to Bai Wei and asked, "What time is it?"
Bai Wei blinked: "Wen Lu, it's four o'clock. By the time we get back, it'll be four-thirty. How about we leave work early today?!"
Wenxi glanced at her watch. "Brother Song is bringing people to meet with Lawyer Han today. I'd like to go and take a look."
Bai Wei sighed: "Okay."
Failing to be lazy.
As soon as he stepped out the door, Jiang Zheng strode over and said nonchalantly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Running for your life?"
Wenxi turned her head and saw the scarf in his hand, only then realizing that she had forgotten to bring her own scarf.
She held out her hand. "Thanks."
Jiang Zheng didn't give her the scarf, and suddenly asked, "When are you getting a divorce?"
Bai Wei was adjusting to the cold air outside when she heard this and almost thought she had frozen to death.
She said that Young Master Jiang had ulterior motives towards Wen Lu of her family!
Wenxi understood Jiang Zheng's thoughts and spoke frankly: "We are currently very much in love and cannot get a divorce."
"What's so good about him?!"
"Anywhere is fine."
Jiang Zheng and Bai Wei were caught off guard and were suddenly bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Would you like to bring him so I can meet him sometime?"
Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth. "I need to know what kind of people I lose to."
Wenxi: "No."
Jiang Zheng was furious: "So protective?!"
Wenxi: "I'm afraid it will hurt your self-esteem."
Jiang Zheng: "Wen Xi, you've gone too far!"
Whom do you look down on?!
Wenxi: "..."
Wenxi didn't understand the stubbornness of young people at all.
Jiang Zheng said with dissatisfaction, "You were criticizing me back in prison, and you're still criticizing me now... Are you addicted to criticizing me?"
Wenxi: "Should I give you the scarf or not?"
Jiang Zheng reluctantly handed the scarf to Wen Xi.
Bai Wei watched from the side, only daring to utter a sound after getting into the car.
"Wen Lu, I knew Young Master Jiang had impure thoughts about you!"
Wenxi leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes to rest, and said, "I'm not interested in my younger brother."
The year Wenxi had a heart-to-heart talk with Young Master Jiang in prison, she really racked her brains and spent countless efforts to get the kid to behave.
It's like raising a rebellious son.
When Young Master Jiang was released from prison, Jiang Fangguo breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Xi also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
From then on, the way she looked at Young Master Jiang was filled with the radiance of a loving mother.
After all, it was someone I personally guided onto the right path, so I was naturally more forgiving.
Bai Wei chuckled: "I know, you like your old daddy."
Wenxi: "..."
Her intuition told her that Shang Chen wouldn't like that nickname.
Upon arriving at the law firm, Bai Wei suddenly realized, "Something's not right!"
“Wen Lu, you’ve always been discreet and don’t like being wishy-washy in matters of the heart. You know perfectly well that Young Master Jiang likes you, so why do you continue to work with him?”
Wen Xi pulled out her office chair. "Otherwise what?"
"Should I cut ties with him and reduce or eliminate all contact with him in the future?"
Bai Wei was taken aback. "It doesn't have to be that bad."
Jiang Zheng had helped Wen Xi a lot in the past. Although the two of them always kept their accounts clear, he couldn't just turn his back on her just because he knew she liked him.
Wen Xi leaned back lazily, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Bai Wei knew that Wen Xi was giving her pointers, so she thought for a moment and said, "...Lawyer Wen, Fang Rong International and Zhongda have been cooperating for many years. Chairman Jiang has also helped us get a lot of cases. We are also grateful to you for helping to train Young Master Jiang back then."
If Wenxi really becomes estranged from Young Master Jiang, it will definitely affect the cooperation between Fangrong International and Zhongda.
This current state is actually the best.
If you deliberately distance yourself, a good relationship might end up making everyone feel awkward.
Wen Xi looked at Bai Wei with a smile in her eyes, "Bai Wei, public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. Don't mix them up."
Bai Wei nodded: "I understand."
She was still young, with the naiveté of someone just entering society, and always believed that things in the world were black and white.
Wenxi didn't want her to make a mistake right after entering the industry and lose faith in it.
