Xu Wan was afraid that someone would come later, and he didn't care to tell Ruan Chen that the ones he had were gone, so he quickly pushed the door out and whispered at the same time: "Wait for me outside, I'll be out in a moment.
"
Ruan Chen raised his eyebrows and was about to leave when he saw Xu Wan's cell phone ringing.
He walked over and saw that the caller was Shen Zixi.
Ruan Chen swiped the screen to connect, and Shen Zixi's voice came: "As for your matter, I came back and looked at other related cases. The lawsuit is quite easy to fight, but I am afraid that it will cause a big problem and have bad consequences. It is best to
Resolve it privately."
"What's up."
The phone nodded, and Shen Zixi paused for a moment, then looked at the screen to make sure he had made the right call.
Shen Zixi, although he can be quite unreliable at times, would not do the kind of snitching. Moreover, it is still personal privacy after all, and this is related to his professional ethics.
He said vaguely: "Ask Xu Wan yourself."
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Ruan Chen put down his phone and frowned slightly.
…
There was some traffic on the way back. Xu Wan looked at the people coming and going outside and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Ruan Chen's voice came slowly: "Shen Zixi called you."
Xu Wan was stunned for a moment, then recovered his thoughts and said, "When...when?"
"When you change clothes."
Xu Wan was silent: "Actually, it's nothing. Didn't I tell you last time? My mother came back to see me. Today she asked me for money, so I asked Shen Zixi if she could go to law.
way."
Ruan Chen said: "How much does she want from you?"
Xu Wan pursed his lips slightly: "Eight hundred million."
"Do you know what she has been doing abroad these years?"
Xu Wan shook his head: "I only know that the man she remarried seems to be doing business abroad and should be quite wealthy..."
Ruan Chen said: "That's right."
Xu Wan didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
Ruan Chen said: "She has to have a clear need for money before she will propose this number to you all at once."
Xu Wan still doesn't quite understand.
Ruan Chen glanced at her and explained: "If he is like Ruan Jun, the number 800 million is not in his concept at all. He will only ask for one or two million, and then continue after it is over."
"So she just needs this money?"
"almost."
Ruan Chen said, "This amount is not small, which proves that her current husband's business is not small, as long as..."
Halfway through his words, Ruan Chen stopped and held the steering wheel a little tighter.
Xu Wan lowered his head and said nothing.
No wonder Wen Lan suddenly came back to look for her. Apart from wanting to get money from her, the biggest reason was to use her money to make up for her current husband's financial losses.
The reason why Wen Lan put so much effort into terminating her contract and taking her out of the country was probably because he felt that after keeping her by his side, all her money would be theirs.
Ruan Chen parked the car on the side of the road and turned to look at her: "Leave this matter to me, okay."
Xu Wan shook his head: "You have enough problems, I can solve them."
This kind of thing is not honorable, and she doesn't want to involve him in it.
Ruan Chen didn't say anything, just said: "Tell me any news as soon as possible."
"good."
…
The next afternoon, while Xu Wan was reading the script, he received a call from Xu Huaguang.
Xu Huaguang said: "Wanwan, where do you live now? Dad brought you something."
Xu Wan said: "Dad, have you come to Nancheng?"
"right……"
Xu Wan stood up and walked out: "Have you just gotten off the plane? Wait, I will pick you up."
"No."
Xu Huaguang said, "Wanwan, I just... met your mother."
Half an hour later.
Xu Wan and Xu Huaguang were sitting in the restaurant.
Xu Wan handed him the menu: "Dad, look at what you want to eat."
Xu Huaguang took the menu and ordered all the dishes that Xu Wan liked to eat when he was a child.
After the waiter left, Xu Huaguang said: "Wan, I came to Nancheng without saying hello to you, will you blame me?"
Xu Wan smiled and filled his cup with tea: "How could that be?"
Xu Huaguang sighed: "I heard your mother say that you want to go to court with her, Wanwan, dad knows that she is sorry for you, but if you really take this step, you will be the one who will be hurt the most. What's the matter?
Let’s talk it over nicely.”
Xu Huaguang has been honest all his life and has a new family. Xu Wan doesn't want him to worry about this kind of thing now.
She said: "Dad, don't worry, I know."
Xu Huaguang added: "Your mother is not too bad, but she is ambitious. She didn't want to marry me in the first place. If it weren't for your grandpa..."
Xu Wan only knew that the relationship between Xu Huaguang and Wen Lan had been bad for as long as he could remember. As for the rest, he knew nothing about it. He had never met any of Wen Lan's family members, nor had he heard them mention it.
