After Losing My Memory, My Husband Begged Me to Love Him Again

Chapter 32

Moreover, is this speed even possible on an airplane?

In contrast to Gu Wan's nonchalance, the others were stunned by the sudden appearance of the figure.

The man looked to be only in his twenties, but his aura was entirely different from theirs. He stood tall with a cold demeanor, his eyes unwavering, his features hard and aloof. After entering, he acted as if he hadn't seen them and walked straight towards Gu Wan.

"What happened?"

When Lu Yu came in, he did indeed see the two young men, but he pretended not to, not even asking a single question.

Although it was just a momentary glance, Lu Yu had pretty much figured out the two of them.

Compared to Shen An, these two kids were hardly worth worrying about.

Gu Wan hesitated for a moment, not voicing the questions in her mind, and instead gave a brief account of what had happened.

When Lu Yu heard certain words, his brows furrowed tightly, and when he looked at the two men who were still making excuses, his expression turned to disgust and anger.

Gu Wan's voice faltered.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, please continue."

Only then did Gu Wan resume speaking.

Beside them, Xiao Chi inexplicably felt a wave of irritation. He could sense that something bad seemed to have happened.

But not knowing the specific reason, Xiao Chi did something very impolite—

While the two were still talking, he reached out and tugged on Gu Wan's clothes.

Lu Yu's voice paused, and then he looked at Gu Wan.

Gu Wan wasn't angry, just puzzled as she asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Chi first glanced at Lu Yu, and when he looked back at Gu Wan, he became inexplicably nervous, his voice even becoming a bit hoarse: "Who is this gentleman?"

Only then did Gu Wan realize she had forgotten to introduce them.

"I'm sorry, that's my fault."

So Xiao Chi and Gao Mingqian heard the person in front of them smile apologetically at them, and then point to the man beside her. Her voice was soft, but it fell on their ears like a thunderclap.

"Let me introduce you, this is my husband."

There was a "boom" in their minds.

After that, Xiao Chi couldn't hear anything else.

Gao Mingqian was a bit better off. After several seconds, repeatedly pondering to make sure she hadn't misspoken and he hadn't misunderstood, he finally managed to force a smile, struggling to say, "Is... is that so? Why... why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Lu Yu also quietly moved his hand behind his back, unable to resist clenching his fist.

Gu Wan hadn't thought much about it, just waved her left hand, showing the ring on her ring finger, and smiled, "I thought you could see it."

She saw that none of them had asked this question, and thought they had all guessed already, so she was being considerate by not mentioning it. Was that not the case?

Noticing her expression now, Gao Mingqian's face changed several times, finally unable to smile at all.

"We thought it was just a decoration..." Gao Mingqian mumbled.

She was erudite and carefree, cool yet gentle, and she was traveling alone with just a dog. She didn't seem like someone who was married at all.

Gao Mingqian stammered, unable to say another word.

At this point, Lu Yu finally spoke again: "If that's the case, I'll call Xu Cong and the others right away."

Although Gu Wan didn't remember who this Xu Cong was, from his tone, she felt it should be someone who could solve the problem. Gu Wan shook her head: "That's not necessary, the people I asked my senior for are about to arrive."

Regarding the fact that Gu Wan hadn't sought his help since losing her memory, no matter how many times it happened, Lu Yu still found it hard to stay calm.

Not seeking help meant not relying on him, and not relying meant distance and growing apart. The current her seemed as if she could leave at any time.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, forcing himself not to think further.

Seeing Gu Wan say this, Lu Yu didn't insist, but during the wait, he made a few phone calls.

In the blink of an eye, another half hour passed. Just as the two men's shouts were getting louder and more arrogant, and they were even beginning to regret thinking that asking for 50,000 in compensation was too little, the lawyers dressed in standard professional attire finally arrived, rushing in.

Gu Wan initially thought the matter wasn't big and that one reliable person to negotiate would be enough. She didn't expect so many to come at once.

One, two, three, four... including the lead female lawyer, a total of six people, all in formal uniforms, with piercing gazes and an impressive aura.

The police, who had originally thought Gu Wan and the others were dawdling and wanted to hurry them, finally seemed to understand something. They turned to look at the two equally stunned men, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. These two had really hit a wall today. They immediately stopped talking about mediation.

Seeing this scene, the two men's loud shouts suddenly stopped.

Not to mention them, even Gu Wan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Why did so many people come? Didn't her senior explain it was just a small case?

The lead female lawyer seemed to see Gu Wan's confusion and took the initiative to extend her hand, introducing herself: "Hello, Miss Gu. I'm a lawyer from Jingfei Law Firm. My name is Liu Jing. Before coming, I received a call from Lawyer Zhang and have already understood the current situation. Please rest assured, I'll handle everything from here on."

Her words were very formal, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, just right for everyone in the room to hear.

Gu Wan clearly saw that the two men seemed to be a bit flustered.

Gu Wan roughly understood what was happening. She cleared her throat and shook the offered hand, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

Liu Jing had handled many cases and had seen all kinds of people, as numerous as the stars. She really understood what kind of people these two she met today were.

They were just bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. Moreover, when ordinary people who don't understand the law get involved with lawsuits and judicial matters, they immediately become less confident. No one wants to get involved in a lawsuit.

Sure enough, dressed in formal attire and calling all the interns from the law firm, just standing there and reciting a few relevant legal clauses, seeing that not only would they not get money, but if they really pursued it, they would likely end up with a criminal record. They didn't even need to actually go to court before the two men cowered.

They felt they couldn't save face and wanted to put up a tough front, but given the vast disparity in strength, they really couldn't manage it.

In no time at all, the two men were forced to apologize voluntarily and then reached a settlement with Xiao Chi.

However, once they left the police station and were out of sight of Gu Wan and the others, their curses would only become more offensive and unbearable.

It wasn't until a few days later when they each received news of dismissal from their workplaces that the two men were truly dumbfounded.

Ignoring the protests in the WeChat messages, Lu Yu turned off his phone and said, "Today's events have really troubled you all. To express my apologies, would you honor us with your company for dinner tonight?"

"Also, I've heard from Wan that she's been quite happy here these past few days. It's really thanks to you all."

The other party's tone was very polite, even humble, but to Xiao Chi and Gao Mingqian's ears, it sounded anything but pleasant.

Xiao Chi's expression was very poor, and he was about to refuse without even thinking, but Gao Mingqian stopped him in time.

If they impulsively refused according to their feelings, wouldn't it make them look very childish?

So Gao Mingqian smiled and said, "You're really too kind. After all, we just saw Sister Wan out alone and she didn't seem very happy. Since we ran into her, we naturally wanted to chat with her a bit more. Mr. Lu, you don't need to take it to heart. It's what we should do."

"Meeting friends you can chat with while away from home is itself a kind of fate, so why bother with too many details? Don't you agree?"

The young man's words weren't problematic, but they still sounded unpleasant to the ear.

Lu Yu finally deigned to give him a proper look.

Afterwards, Lu Yu acted as if he hadn't heard and continued to invite. Gao Mingqian refused again, and after two or three more rounds, Gao Mingqian finally reluctantly agreed to his "thanks."

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Gu Wan finally saw off lawyer Liu Jing.

Upon learning that the three had already arranged to have dinner together, Gu Wan didn't have any objections. She hadn't really thought much about it.

It wasn't until they took a ride-share to an unassuming-looking restaurant in this area.

When the driver saw the restaurant's sign, he thought to himself that he hadn't noticed this place in the city center before. Though the entrance wasn't large, the ambiance seemed quite nice. He made a mental note to try it someday.

Unfortunately, when the driver searched online later, he couldn't find any information about it. Thinking he must have remembered wrong, he gradually forgot about it.

As soon as Xiao Chi and Gao Mingqian walked in, they started to sense something was off.

Gu Wan, familiar with Lu Yu's dining habits when out, knew the places he chose were never cheap. More importantly, he was exceptionally confident in his taste. Gu Wan, of course, chose to respect his habits, and since Lu Yu was treating today, she felt it wasn't her place to say much. She could only think that if the food turned out to be as... well, ordinary as last time, she'd just have to treat the two of them separately another day.

As for now, Gu Wan could only sigh inwardly, hoping the two young men would be understanding.

However, Xiao Chi and Gao Mingqian's attention was no longer on the food. The moment they saw the bill, both of them almost simultaneously clenched their fists.

Even though Gao Mingqian's family was considerably more well-off than the others, they were far from the level where they could casually spend tens of thousands on a single meal.

While they found it hard to accept, Gu Wan, who had dined with Lu Yu several times, thought Lu Yu had actually become more frugal, spending only this much for four people today.

She figured he probably didn't want to pressure the two young men...

Noticing Gu Wan's gaze, Lu Yu merely sipped his tea without saying a word.

Seeing that Gu Wan seemed accustomed to this, making it clear that this was the norm for their daily expenses, Xiao Chi felt like he couldn't breathe.

Unable to contain himself, he abruptly stood up. Catching Gu Wan's glance, Xiao Chi instinctively averted his eyes.

"Sorry, I need to use the restroom!"

If Xiao Chi and Gao Mingqian only wanted to be ordinary friends with Gu Wan, they would have merely found all this astonishing.

But unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Young people are youthful, bright, and energetic, but correspondingly, they have fragile self-esteem that can shatter at the slightest touch... Lu Yu smirked.

Beside him, Gao Mingqian had nearly bitten his lip to the point of bleeding.
