Zhao's mother's suggestion seemed a little absurd.

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

Father Zhao scolded harshly.

……

At the same time, in Zhao Huai's private space on the second floor, he slumped down on the sofa, crossed his legs again, closed his eyes, and leaned on the soft cushion.

In his mind, Zhu Feiwan's cold face kept appearing. His attitude that always kept people at a distance made him miss her and feel pain.

He recalled the scene when he first met her five years ago. At that time, she was weak and helpless. She had just given birth to triplets. Her face was pale and her thin body was heartbreaking.

In just five years, she seemed to have experienced a phoenix nirvana and transformed into a different woman.

She was no longer the fragile woman who would pull at the corner of his clothes and call “Third Brother” in a weak voice.

Whenever those three words rang in his ears, Zhao Huai's nerves would unconsciously tense up.

Immersed in the memories of Zhu Feiwan, he felt a wave of bitterness in his heart.

Then he stood up, poured himself a glass of wine, unlocked his phone, and slowly looked through the intimate photos of him with different women.

Although these women are different, each of them has the shadow of Zhu Feiwan, whether it is similar eyes, the same curvature of the mouth corners, similar profiles, or subtle similarities in temperament.

Zhao Huai knew that his behavior was emotionally distorted and unhealthy.

But he was powerless to change this almost pathological attachment style.

……

In a picturesque town abroad, Zhu Feiwan sat in her slightly messy studio and sneezed twice loudly in succession.

At this time, Xu Lili walked slowly into the room with a cup of steaming coffee in her hand.

"You must be thinking about me, Wanwan. There must be someone thinking about you from afar."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feiwan raised his head from the pile of drawings and models.

The sunlight shone through the half-open curtains, casting patches of light on her face.

Xu Lili put down her coffee cup and leaned against the table gracefully. Without saying much, she just stared at Zhu Feiwan's focused and serious face with her understanding eyes. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: How charming...

......

At the same time, in the Lu family, far away across the ocean.

Wen Xuemei slowly walked into the manor under the guidance of her secretary.

As the two people got closer, the door of Lu Huaijin's office, which was decorated simply yet luxuriously, slowly opened.

Seeing Lu Huaijin's calm figure, Wen Xuemei bowed slightly and lowered her head modestly and humbly: "Brother."

When Lu Huaijin heard this affectionate name, he nodded slightly in response.

"If I hadn't mediated your marriage, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. You should understand my intention."

"Xuemei will always remember your kindness, big brother, and will never forget it for the rest of her life."

Wen Xuemei answered sincerely and firmly.

Lu Huaijin planned a relatively easy path for her: "You don't need to worry too much. You can be my personal legal advisor from now on."

"I will follow your orders, brother."

Wen Xuemei nodded again, her attitude full of respect and gratitude for Lu Huaijin.

"Well, there is no urgent matter for you to deal with at the moment, so go down and rest first."

Lu Huaijin gave the order calmly. Although there was a hint of coldness in his words, it was more of a trust and confidence in Wen Xuemei's abilities.

Wen Xuemei tapped her chin lightly and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, making her stop and turn back.

"Brother, I have a difficult case involving a lawyer named Ginni. If possible, can you make it impossible for her to represent the defendant? Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. I don't know anything about her, so I can't help but feel a little worried..."

Although Wen Xuemei's voice was calm, it could not hide her inner nervousness and anticipation.

As an outstanding graduate of the law school, she completed her undergraduate and master's degrees at an extraordinary speed. At the age of 22, she made her mark in the legal community and is heading towards a doctoral degree.

Not only does she have an impressive academic background, she has also obtained a Level 4 Bar Certificate, which is almost predictable.

In the near future, she will become a shining new star in the legal profession.

However, such a brilliant and talented woman actually asked Lu Huaijin for help at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Lu Huaijin raised his eyebrows slightly, questioning Wen Xuemei's modesty.

"Wen Xuemei, you are too modest. Is this lawyer Ginni really that great?"

Wen Xuemei frowned slightly, her thoughts returning to the party. All Ginni left her with was a mysterious back, but it was enough to make her feel an unknown pressure. Her intuition told her that the lawyer was no ordinary person.

"Perhaps, it's just a female intuition. I always feel that she is not simple."

She answered hesitantly but firmly.

Lu Huaijin replied casually: "In that case, it's a small matter, don't worry."

"Thank you, brother!"

Wen Xuemei's frown immediately relaxed, she bowed deeply again to express her gratitude, and then turned around and left gracefully.

After watching Wen Xuemei's figure disappear outside the door, Lu Huaijin immediately summoned Secretary Chen to come over.

"Give me ten minutes, I want all the information about a person named Ginni.

"His tone was calm and decisive. "Yes, sir." Secretary Chen responded and left.

While waiting, Lu Huaijin took a short rest in the luxurious boss chair.

"Boss, there isn't much information about her. This is some information I got from the Bar Association."

Lu Huaijin took the tablet and quickly browsed it, and found that there was very little public information about lawyer Ginni. The only bright spot was her last name - Zhu.

Lu Huaijin suddenly realized that since some time ago, whenever he met someone with the same surname or a similar name as Zhu Feiwan, he would unconsciously associate them with her in his heart.

However, in the next moment he laughed at himself, thinking that such an idea was too far-fetched.

How could Zhu Feiwan have the ability to clone himself and change into so many identities?

"What's next?"

Secretary Chen asked from the side.

"Did you find any pictures of her?"

Lu Huaijin asked.

"She only appears once in the Bar Association records. She was said to be a beautiful lady, but she was said to have a bad personality. Oh, and she also had a striking head of curly red hair."

Secretary Chen's words inadvertently fell into Lu Huaijin's ears, causing his heart to tremble inexplicably.

Red curly hair, isn't that Zhu Feiwan's most distinctive feature?

Is there some unknown connection between this Ginni and Zhu Feiwan?

He examined the lawyer's profile more carefully and was surprised to find that she was Zhang Ning's defense lawyer.

"Give me an appointment to meet Zhang Ning."

"what?"

Secretary Chen was stunned. Zhang Ning's reputation was not good now, and even few people were interested in making appointments for his medical treatment.

And the boss actually took the initiative to ask to see him...

"Hmm?" Lu Huaijin raised his eyebrows and glared at Secretary Chen unhappily.

Seeing this, the secretary nodded and agreed: "Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

Just as Secretary Chen was about to leave, Lu Huaijin seemed to remember something.

"Ask Liu Kuan to buy some fresh milk, cream, flour, and eggs and send them to the First Mansion."

"okay, got it."

Secretary Chen agreed while secretly thinking that these daily necessities should be available in the First Mansion, so why the boss had to specifically instruct them to buy them was really puzzling.
