Chapter 164 Talk
Wen Lan was not stupid and quickly guessed that it was Jiang Jingci who drove Si Yao away.
Jiang Jingci also paid off Si Yao's salary for her!
She didn't tell Jiang Jingci about the money she owed for the ring, but now she owed it again.
She quickly sent a message to Si Yao: How much did Mr. Jiang pay you?
Si Yao replied instantly: Mr. Jiang has already paid the money, so don’t ask anymore. Even if you ask, I won’t tell you.
Wen Lan knew that Jiang Jingci was a key customer of Si Yao's company, and Si Yao would not dare to go against Jiang Jingci's wishes.
She never dreamed that just after getting rid of the thank you banquet, Jiang Jingci would be interested in him again!
When she went to the restaurant for breakfast, she told herself over and over again: She must stay awake and distanced from Jiang Jingci!
When she closed the door, she was afraid that Jiang Jingci would hear her, so she moved very gently, but Jiang Jingci seemed to have picked the right time for her to go out.
While she was waiting for the elevator, he stood beside her and called "Wen Lan" with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang." Wen Lan tried to maintain the calmness she had when she was alone with him.
The elevator door was closed, and Wen Lan was a little nervous in the cramped space. He was busy looking for words: "Si Yao has returned to China."
"Old Li has been in Jiacheng for twelve years, and he is quite familiar with the Chinese community here. Si Yao is gone, and Lao Li will come over shortly, so you can rest assured." Jiang Jingci's voice was gentle.
"How much commission did Mr. Jiang pay Si Yao? I'll transfer it to you right away." Wen Lan asked hurriedly, not wanting to owe him any more.
"You don't have to be so polite." Jiang Jingci said softly, "I have been cooperating with Si Yao. She only worked with you for two days and didn't get much commission."
"Then I will transfer the amount agreed with Si Yao to Mr. Jiang." Wen Lan was afraid that he would not accept it, so she directly made the transfer in mobile banking.
Soon, Jiang Jingci heard the sound of money arriving on his phone.
His angular facial features immediately became angry.
Then, there was another notification sound that the bank card had arrived!
He picked up his phone and took a look. Wen Lan actually transferred two million yuan in ring money!
At this time, the elevator door opened, and Wen Lan had already stepped out of the elevator room ahead of him.
The two sudden transfers made Jiang Jingci very uncomfortable. He quickly caught up with her and walked into the hotel buffet opposite.
Wen Lan chose a few simple meals and had just sat down when Jiang Jingci sat opposite her and stared at her deeply, "Let's talk."
"What did Mr. Jiang want to say?" Wen Lan clearly felt a tight and low pressure, and could only eat to cover up his inner panic.
"Wen Lan, you are divorced——" Jiang Jingci was stunned when he said this, and his last words were full of hope.
She said "hmm".
Jiang Jingci's eyes became darker and darker. He thought for a moment and said, "We are both single now. Can we try to date each other and rush to get married? This is a question I have seriously considered. I hope you will think about it carefully before answering. I."
The spoon in Wen Lan's hand fell onto the dinner plate with a bang.
She never dreamed that such a calm and self-possessed man like Jiang Jingci would be so straightforward with his feelings.
Jiang Jingci looked at her with an even gentler gaze, "I am already thirty-six, and I have always preferred to be sparing in love. If you like it, you like it. You can no longer hide your feelings like a man in his twenties. Now, I don't have enough money. I’ve almost made enough, and I just want to find a woman I like to spend the rest of my life with.”
Not to mention the fourteen-year age difference between the two, just asking her to be the stepmother of a twelve-year-old boy would make her collapse!
Two years of marriage had completely shattered all her expectations for marriage. Now that she had finally made a break with Xie Yansheng, she was so confused that she rushed to get involved in another relationship and marriage!
It’s great to be single, you can make your own money and spend it yourself, there are no disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and you don’t have to worry about being cheated on!
The rejection was already obvious in her eyebrows. Jiang Jingci was a little nervous and said hurriedly, "Don't rush to reply to me, because I don't want to be disappointed so quickly."
"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your love." Wen Lan didn't want to think about him anymore, and calmly met his hot and nervous gaze, "From now on, I will focus on work and will not think about relationships and marriage anymore. "
"Completely understand." Jiang Jingci looked at her with an even deeper look, "You were hurt a lot in your last marriage, and it's normal for you to be afraid of relationships, marriage and childbirth. But I'm afraid that if you don't express your feelings earlier, you He was snatched away by another man again.”
At this time, Wen Lan had no appetite at all.
"Wen Lan, people are different. I can assure you that whether you are a girlfriend or a marriage partner, I will never do anything to make you unhappy, let alone force you to do something you don't like. "
Jiang Jingci was afraid of hearing the words he didn't want to hear, leaving no room for Wen Lan to think, "I am a person who never hesitates when it comes to relationships. If you like it, you will chase it, and if you chase it, you will catch it. For me, , the meaning of marriage is far greater than love."
"Precisely because Mr. Jiang is a person who is extremely responsible for relationships and marriage, I cannot deceive Mr. Jiang." Wen Lan didn't want to see him sink deeper and deeper, so she decided to speak clearly, "Even if I have plans to start another relationship and marriage in the future. , I will not consider Mr. Jiang because Mr. Jiang does not meet my criteria for choosing a spouse."
Jiang Jingci's body trembled slightly, and he forced out a decent smile: "Tell me a reason so that I can give up."
"With all due respect, the age difference is unacceptable to me. Also, I never thought about being a stepmother to a child who is only ten years younger than me." After Wen Lan finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
These two are facts that Jiang Jingci can never change!
"These are indeed my shortcomings. But I don't think they will become stumbling blocks that affect our coming together, because I will double up with other things." Jiang Jingci's expression was calmer than before.
"Wen Lan, I hope you can give me this opportunity. Let's get along for a while first. If you really can't like me, I will quit immediately."
She had made it very clear, but she didn't expect Jiang Jingci to be so stubborn!
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang." She shook her head with determination.
Jiang Jingci's narrow eyes flashed with incredible disappointment.
This was the first time he begged for love in front of a woman so humbly.
He and Yu Hui were childhood sweethearts. They got married after dating for a few years. The happy days did not last long. When Jiang Guan was one year old, Yu Hui was diagnosed with breast cancer.
He took Yu Hui to Beijing and M country for treatment, but Yu Hui died in just over a year.
Jiang Guan was taken in by his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He was busy building his career and his net worth was rising. He was often approached by beautiful women, but out of concern for his deceased wife and young son, he never dared to have any desire for women.
The first time he saw Wen Lan, he was attracted by her similar Danfeng eyes to Yu Hui, and his heart, which had been silent for ten years, immediately came to life!
