Jiang Yilai never expected that her daughter's first smile would be because of her reunion with Fu Nanxiao.
The doctor had previously reminded her that only blood relatives could give a child the kind of affection that no one else could provide.
That must be because blood is thicker than water.
Jiang Wenchao hugged her arm and said, "Mom, my sister seems to really like that uncle. She kept looking at him with reluctance when she left."
It was the power of blood ties that made his daughter recognize him.
"It must be because that uncle has a kind face that my sister likes."
"No, I think that uncle also likes it; it feels familiar."
Jiang Yilai was speechless for a moment, but Li Luyao spoke up to help her.
"It was a false alarm today. I'll treat you to a seafood feast to calm your nerves and also to welcome you back."
Jiang Wenchao immediately became interested and said happily, "I'm hungry right now, and I love seafood the most."
Li Luyao held Jiang Wenxi's small hand and asked gently, "Does Xixi like to eat this?"
He always hoped that Jiang Wenxi could accept him, so that he could gain more favor from Jiang Yilai.
However, Jiang Wenxi silently withdrew her hand and leaned against Jiang Yilai's chest, refusing to have any contact with him.
Li Luyao was used to her reaction, but after comparing her to Fu Nanxiao today, he felt a little uneasy.
He then realized that simply being there for someone doesn't guarantee entry into their heart; if they didn't choose him, they would never choose him.
Just like Jiang Yilai, no matter how much he did, he could not win her heart.
He believes that no one in this world is selfless, and he is one of them.
After the two children went to bed at night, Jiang Yilai went to the study to continue organizing the materials needed for the case.
After today's events, she is beginning to consider whether she should appear in court in person.
Ultimately, it's because they don't want to meet with the Fu family.
The next day~
When Jiang Yilai arrived at the law firm, Zhang Yue immediately went up to report.
"Director Jiang, the defendant has arrived and is waiting to see you in the conference room."
"The defendant? Have they come to the wrong place? Tell them to find their own lawyer."
"They insisted on seeing you and wouldn't leave no matter how much we tried to persuade them."
"Well, Jiang Lezhen has arrived."
Only this woman could be so shameless and refuse to leave.
Zhang Yue nodded: "It is indeed her. She has a bit of fame in China now. If we drive her away, she will definitely spread rumors and it will have a bad impact on the law firm."
That's true. Reputation is the most important thing for people in this industry. It's really not worth it if they get attacked by mindless people.
It seems there's no way to avoid it, so let's face it head-on.
"Okay, I'll go and meet her."
Jiang Yilai also wanted to see if she had made any progress in the past five years.
The meeting room door was open, and from afar, one could see her haughty back as she continued to gesticulate wildly at the people around her.
"It's all because you people don't know how to handle things. You've been making a fuss about something so big for half a month and still can't resolve it. I have to personally step in."
"Second Madam, the lawyers here refuse to withdraw the case, and there's nothing we can do."
"That means the money wasn't paid properly. As long as they don't take on this case, nothing will happen."
"They've already said that no amount of money will help, and the new director is very upright and insists that we lose the case. They'll also pursue legal action against you and the second young master."
Jiang Lezhen gritted her teeth in anger and slammed her fist on the table: "Who dares to oppose my Fu family? I'd like to see who she is."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crisp sound of high heels rang out behind her. Jiang Lezhen quickly turned around and was startled when she saw who it was.
