After the scumbag Bai Yueguang returned to China, the rich daughter stopped pretending

After dinner, Jiang Shixu and Ruan Chutang went downstairs to the underground garage.

Ruan Chutang walked up to the blue Bentley.

Jiang Shixu suddenly asked, "How does it feel to drive this car?"

Chu Tang pursed her lips and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "It opened last night and it was pretty good. Thank you, Brother Shixu."

"Then I'll be leaving first?" Ruan Chutang raised the key in his hand and suddenly remembered something. "Oh, Brother Shixu, I have a gift for you too. I should have given it to you when I saw you last night, but I forgot."

"Hmm? What gift?"

"It's in the suitcase at the hotel. I'll give it to you when I get back."

Jiang Shixu opened the driver's door and said, "I'll go with you. I'll drive."

"Huh?" Chu Tang was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. "We can go together. I'll drive. You take a break."

Jiang Shixu flew all the way from Jiangcheng to see her last night, and drove twenty kilometers back and forth to buy her breakfast early in the morning. He must be very tired now, and she didn't want to trouble him anymore.

"Okay." Jiang Shixu had a smile in his eyes. His Tangtang felt sorry for him.

He calmly walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and sat down. "Obedience is worse than respect."

On the highway, the two chatted.

"Can I attend the court session you are holding today?" Jiang Shixu asked.

"Sure. It's a contract dispute case that doesn't involve trade secrets. Would you like to attend as an observer?"

"Well, is that okay?" Jiang Shixu's voice was very light, with a barely perceptible hint of caution. "I haven't seen you in court yet."

"Sure." Ruan Chutang thought, since they were already engaged, it would be good for them to get to know each other. "Do you have your ID? I'll need to show it. Just fill out the application form and get an audience pass."

"I brought it." He brought it with him last night when he needed it to board the plane. Today, he wanted to attend a lecture and had checked in advance that his ID card was needed, so he brought it with him.

"Okay, I'll take you there later."

"Ah."

Ruan Chutang was concentrating on driving and couldn't see the tenderness in Jiang Shixu's eyes and how gentle his gaze was when he looked at her.

The car sped along the highway, silence stretching between the two.

After a long while, Ruan Chutang suddenly asked, "Brother Shixu, why did you agree to marry into my family?"

She had wanted to ask this question three years ago.

The Jiang family was incredibly powerful in Jiangcheng, no ordinary wealthy family. Jiang Shixu's grandfather held a high position in politics, and his mother was also the daughter of an official. Logically, his future wife should also be the daughter of a powerful family, so why would he marry into her family?

The Ruan family is a wealthy and prestigious family in Jiangcheng, but after all, it is just a business family. It cannot compare with the power and influence of the Jiang family, so the marriage is considered to be marrying up.

After all, Chu Tang came from a wealthy family and had been influenced by it since childhood, so he was very clear about the marriage rules of the aristocratic families.

He clearly has many better options.

Jiang Shixu's eyes were deep, and after a long while he replied, "Actually, by my generation, we no longer need to rely on marriage to consolidate our family's status."

The answer was ambiguous and Chu Tang didn't quite understand it.

"Then why don't you choose a girl you love to marry?"

Jiang Shixu said in a low voice, "If I don't want to, no one can force me."

Chu Tang's breathing became irregular for a moment when he heard this.

She forced herself not to think too deeply about it, as any further thought would make her heart confused.

She suddenly felt that Jiang Shixu was quite good at flirting. He must have had many girlfriends before, so he was very experienced in flirting with girls.

From the moment she agreed to the marriage, she felt that Jiang Shixu was very considerate and took care of every detail very well. If this continued, she was afraid that she would be tempted.

……

The court session soon began.

During the court debate, Ruan Chutang was eloquent and eloquent. She had clear thinking and rigorous logic, and she always managed to gain the upper hand in the debate. Her sharp questions went straight to the core of the problem, and she repeatedly put the opposing lawyers in a passive position.

Jiang Shixu sat in the audience, looking at the high-spirited girl on the field. He felt a sense of pride, and his eyes were filled with admiration and love.

His Tangtang is really outstanding.

After the trial, Jiang Shixu handed over a bottle of mineral water and said, "Drink some water."

"Thank you." Chu Tang took it and took two sips. "The verdict will be announced at a later date. The chances of winning are very high."

"Tangtang, during the debate just now, your eyes were shining and your gaze was firm and powerful. I was unconsciously attracted to you."

Hearing this, Ruan Chutang smiled a little embarrassedly, "Really? I also felt like I became a different person during the trial."

"You did a great job," Jiang Shixu praised sincerely, "You will definitely become a top lawyer in the industry in the future."

Chu Tang smiled brightly, "Thank you for your good wishes."

She suddenly thought of Gu Zechuan again.

After three years of dating, he never cared about her work, let alone attending the trial. He only knew that the salary she earned every month was not enough for him to have a meal and a drink with his friends.

Not only does he not care about her career, he also does not respect her efforts and ambition.

Once before, she won a case with a claim value of more than 5 million yuan and received a considerable amount of legal fees. She excitedly shared her joy with Gu Zechuan, but he poured cold water on her.

She remembered that Gu Zechuan curled his lips and said with disdain, "Any contract in our company is worth tens of millions, and you're taking on a small case with a target of five million? Chu Tang, what can you do with the little money you earn from working so hard in lawsuits? Why don't you quit? I'll support you."

From then on, she never shared anything about work with Gu Zechuan.

He may have some genuine feelings for her, but he only likes her face and figure. He doesn't understand her. Their love is just about eating, drinking and having fun, and they will never be able to achieve a resonance of souls.

At this moment, Ruan Chutang felt from the bottom of his heart for the first time that Jiang Shixu might be a very good partner.

After the two came out of the court, Jiang Shixu received a call from his assistant.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shixu said to Ruan Chutang with a serious expression, "Someone put a laxative in that glass of milk, and the dosage was very high."

Ruan Chutang's eyes flashed with a cold light, "As expected."

"Do you need my help with that?"

Chu Tang shook his head and said, "No need. I'll keep this account in mind and settle it later."

Chen Wan probably knew that she had a court hearing today and deliberately made trouble for her.

Although there is a milk test report, there is no evidence to prove that it was Chen Wan who drugged the milk, so calling the police is of little use.

Since it is a personal grudge, let's settle it privately.

……

After the court session, Ruan Chutang took Jiang Shixu to play around for a few days.

Together they went to eat the spicy rice noodles that Ruan Chutang had been craving for. Jiang Shixu couldn't handle spicy food very well, and although he was sweating profusely from the spiciness, he still insisted on finishing the bowl of noodles.

They went to tourist attractions together to take photos, experience the beautiful natural scenery, visit cultural attractions, and feel the influence of history and culture.

I have to say that these few days with Jiang Shixu were more fulfilling and happy than the three years she had been with Gu Zechuan.

……

Chen Wan was hospitalized for five days, and Gu Zechuan stayed with her for five days.

During these five days, Gu Zechuan couldn't help but look at his phone, looking forward to Ruan Chutang's text messages and calls.

However, apart from the messages from his friends asking him to go out and play, there were only work messages and calls on his phone. Ruan Chutang had no news at all.

Gu Zechuan couldn't help it, opened the text message and sent a message.

【Hasn't that been enough? 】

Jiang Shixu was taking Ruan Chutang's photo with her phone when he saw the message unexpectedly and his eyes darkened.
