"Uh, I handed over the lunch boxes downstairs and then left."

Song Xun placed the lunchbox on the table.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, Lao Qian drove her there. We'll find out later if we ask him."

"ask."

Gong Yan's law firm wasn't too far from Ding Sheng, and Jiang Mian arrived quickly.

Carrying the remaining lunch boxes and other items, I got off the bus and went upstairs.

I originally thought I would be stopped by the receptionist, but Gong Yan probably gave me some instructions.

So she was quickly led by the receptionist to Gong Yan's office.

“Attorney Gong still has visitors, but it’s alright. There are tables and chairs outside the door, you can sit and wait for a while.”

The receptionist led her to Gong Yan's office and then went to work at the front desk.

Jiang Mian wasn't in a hurry anyway, so she placed the lunchbox and thermos on the tea table outside the door.

Looking up, I saw Gong Yan's office door. On her nameplate, in front of the words "Gong Yan, Attorney Gong Yan," there was a two-inch photo.

Jiang Mian was curious and wanted to see more clearly, so she took two steps forward.

Take two steps forward to get a clear look at Gong Yan's photo on the nameplate.

Jiang Mian also heard the conversation coming from the office.

She had assumed that Gong Yan was talking to a client and hadn't intended to listen closely.

They even planned to close the office door that wasn't properly shut.

But when the voice came out, it sounded familiar.

Jiang Mian's eyes widened slightly, and she was somewhat stunned. The hand that was about to close the office door froze.

"I won't tell her, and you won't tell her either? Jiang Mian has the right to know the truth, doesn't she?" Jiang Yu's voice was slightly deep.

"Why should I tell her if you're not going to?" Gong Yan said calmly. "Isn't she your friend?"

"Isn't she your client?" Jiang Yu retorted to Gong Yan. "Didn't you say she even consulted you about prenuptial agreements?"

Jiang Mian stood at the door, feeling a sudden chill run through her body, and even her breathing seemed to slow down.

“Jiang Yu, I’m not that kind. Why would I tell Jiang Mian those things? So that she would feel sorry for Lu Bozhou?”

Jiang Yu was slightly puzzled by Gong Yan's words.

"Why is she so reluctant to let Lu Bozhou go? Wasn't she forced into marrying Lu Bozhou?"

Jiang Yu frowned and stared at Gong Yan, "You still say that Yan Huai and I are too obsessed with it? You're the one who should wake up."

"Sister Yan, my sister is dead. That Jiang Mian is just a poor stranger. Don't sympathize with her too much."

However, Gong Yan couldn't say much to Jiang Yu, as her information didn't match Jiang Yu's.

"You wouldn't understand," Gong Yan said coldly.

"I'm not the one who's too empathetic. In short, Lu Bozhou deserves to be tormented to death. Doesn't he like to find a substitute and then make that substitute suffer?"

Gong Yan sneered, "Jiang Mian is dead, and he's still not in his right mind? This time I'd like to see who's torturing whom."

Jiang Yu sighed softly, "Sister Yan, don't hate too much."

"What did you say?" Gong Yan's voice turned cold, even carrying a hint of accusation.

Jiang Yu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just... you've become someone else."

Gong Yan chuckled softly, "Then why do you keep coming? Do you think I'm free? Get lost, President Jiang, I don't have time to entertain you."

As Gong Yan spoke, she walked towards the door.

Jiang Mian could hear her approaching footsteps.

Reason tells me I should stay away.

But his feet felt as if they were nailed to the ground, unable to move.

So, they could only watch helplessly as the office door opened from the inside.

Gong Yan, dressed in a silk shirt and pencil skirt, with exquisite and elegant makeup, stood inside the door.

Gong Yan was also looking at her, a look of surprise flashing across her eyes.

Looking at each other.

"How come you..." Gong Yan thought of the fact that her office door had been malfunctioning lately and couldn't be closed properly.

Her face changed slightly.

"I...I made some food and brought it to you," Jiang Mian said softly. "The receptionist said you had guests and asked me to wait here...Please try it, I'll be going now."

Jiang Mian turned around and hurriedly left.

She didn't know why she had to leave in such a hurry.

He couldn't quite process the amount of information from the conversation between Gong Yan and Jiang Yu earlier.

I just felt I should leave.

Leave first.

Jiang Yu noticed Gong Yan's sudden stiffness and heard some familiar voices coming from outside.

Jiang Yu also got up and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, Gong Yan panicked and called out urgently, "Mianmian!"

Then he hurriedly chased after them.

Upon hearing those two syllables, Jiang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted!

“What…” He looked at Gong Yan’s hurried back.

He never believed that Gong Yan would use this name, this title, on anyone else!

So when Gong Yan called out just now, Jiang Yu inexplicably felt that it wasn't 'Mianmian,' but rather...

How could that be?!

Jiang Yu looked ahead sharply, but he couldn't even see Jiang Mian's back anymore.

Jiang Mian ran all the way to the elevator, just as the elevator doors slowly closed.

She leaned against the wall and let out a long, weary breath.

I'm so tired.

But before she could finish exhaling, the elevator doors, which had been slowly closing, slowly opened again!

Gong Yan walked in, her face pale, and frowned as she stared at her. "Why are you running away!"

Jiang Mian's feelings were actually very complicated, and for a moment, she didn't even know what to say to Gong Yan.

That's why I thought I should avoid it for now.

But Gong Yan chased after him into the elevator.

The elevator door closed again.

In such a confined space, there was practically no way to avoid it.

Jiang Mian took a deep breath and could only look up into Gong Yan's eyes.

She asked in a low voice, "You...don't believe me?"

The idea of ​​dying and being reborn is just too fantastical.

It would be difficult for anyone to accept this calmly and happily.

Looking back, it seems that Gong Yan did accept it too quickly.

Gong Yan said almost without hesitation, "I don't disbelieve you."

"then you……"

Gong Yan pressed the elevator floor button. "My belief in you and my wish for Lu Bozhou to die are not contradictory."

Jiang Mian was stunned. She saw the flickering anger in her best friend's eyes.

This was the first time Jiang Mian had felt Gong Yan's hatred so directly and genuinely.

Jiang Mian was deeply shocked and heartbroken for her dear friend. She also sighed again, realizing she had died far too young.

Gong Yan didn't even get to see her one last time. How could she possibly accept that?

"Only two million a year? Three million? And he'll give you back your original car? That's not enough. Is this all he wants to make you walk that thorny path again, to make you his substitute once more?"

A cold smile curled at the corners of Gong Yan's lips.

"If he dies, the inheritance will fall to Lu Chaochi, and you'll get custody. That would be a perfect ending, wouldn't it?" [Qiqi is asking for votes and favorites! Typhoon Capricorn is terrifying! Are all Capricorns this career-driven? Even typhoons…]
