Chapter 166: Unwilling
When Wen Lan heard this, he was half relieved and half sad.
In just a few days, Shen Yi fell from the clouds into the dust. Now his lawyer's license has been revoked. If he wants to start a business, he can only find another way.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." She comforted Shen Yi, "If there is a promising project, think twice before committing. After all, you have only been a lawyer before and have not been involved in other industries."
"I have considered everything you said." Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I know that you have been the best to me from the beginning to the end."
"..."
Wen Lan suddenly didn't know what to say and quickly changed the subject, "It's only a few days before the New Year. Why don't we wait until the New Year before going to Hong Kong City?"
"I want to leave this sad place in Jiangcheng as soon as possible." Shen Yi was full of melancholy, paused and said, "Lanlan, I'm leaving for the high-speed train in an hour, so I can't say goodbye to you in person -"
"It should take a lot of money to start a business in Hong Kong City. Although I don't have much savings, I can lend you some." Wen Lan was afraid that Shen Yi would feel inferior and said hurriedly, "Of course, you need to pay interest on the money you borrow from me."
"No need for now." Shen Yi's tone suddenly became solemn, "Wen Lan——"
Wen Lan trembled because Shen Yi rarely called her by her first name.
"I'm planning to go to Hong Kong City to work as a digital company. If I'm lucky, I'll see results in one or two years. If I'm not lucky, I might still be stuck in the same place in three to five years." Shen Yi's voice was deep, and he was stunned for a while and said slowly, "Will you wait for me?"
Wen Lan was stunned.
When she married Xie Yansheng two years ago, the Shen family was high in the clouds and Shen Yi was still the noble son, so she gave up all illusions about Shen Yi.
Although her marriage to Xie Yansheng made her physically and mentally exhausted, she felt nothing but regret for missing Shen Yi.
Because, ever since she was taken away by Xie Yansheng for the first time, she felt that she was no longer worthy of Shen Yi.
She divorced because she was fed up with Xie Yansheng's inconsistency and had nothing to do with Shen Yi. When the Shen family was in trouble, the first thing she thought of was Shen's mother, not Shen Yi.
Shen Yi on the other end of the phone waited for a while but didn't hear her response. He immediately became nervous and said, "I went to Hong Kong City to work hard so that I can give you a better life in the future."
Wen Lan frowned slightly, the words of rejection were clearly in his throat, but he tried several times but did not say them out.
She could reject Jiang Jingci without reservation, but at this moment she couldn't even say a word of polite rejection to Shen Yi.
Because Shen Yi has been hit hard these days, it is really commendable that he was able to get over his grief in a short period of time and have the idea of starting a business.
She was afraid that her rejection would destroy all Shen Yi's hopes for life.
"Shen Yi, I have something to do here. I will reply to your question in a few days." Wen Lan has not yet figured out how to respond in order to minimize the harm to Shen Yi.
"That's fine. I've been waiting for you for two years, and I don't care if I wait a few more years." Shen Yi's unhurried voice was full of disappointment, but he still politely said goodbye to her before ending the call.
Wen Lan threw his phone on the bed, but he couldn't feel relaxed.
She and Shen Yi will have a showdown sooner or later, but she doesn't know if Shen Yi will feel hopeless in life after the showdown.
Suddenly, she thought that after talking to Jiang Jingci, the door was not closed yet. She turned around quickly, but she didn't expect that Jiang Jingci was still standing at the door.
Jiang Jingci watched all the interactions between her and Shen Yi on the phone.
At this time, Jiang Jingci's eyes seemed calm, but in fact, they were full of turmoil.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I thought you had left." Wen Lan stood at the door awkwardly, his arm resting on the door frame, and it was obvious that he was issuing an eviction order.
Jiang Jingci's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "You have a good rest and I won't disturb you. Don't let me down again tomorrow night."
"Okay." She just wanted Jiang Jingci to leave early, and agreed to tomorrow's dinner without even thinking about it.
Jiang Jingci took a lot of effort to look away from her and returned to his room.
After closing the door, Wen Lan leaned against the wall at the door and slowly collapsed on the floor.
She covered her face and sighed in defeat.
She finally divorced Xie Yansheng, and Shen Yi, who had always been thinking about her, was more direct than before. Not to mention, Jiang Jingci showed up again!
A man’s mouth is deceiving!
She would only believe what Shen Yi and Jiang Jingci said unless she lost her mind!
Two years of marriage made her deeply impressed. The sense of security given by a man is short-lived and random. The greatest sense of security is to hold money tightly in your hands.
The next morning, Wen Lan and the translator agreed that the departure time was seven in the morning.
When she left the hotel, she still met Jiang Jingci.
Jiang Jingci was wearing a white sportswear and a baseball cap, with a small Bluetooth headset hanging on his right ear. His face and bare arms were covered in sweat. It looked like he had just returned from a morning run.
"So early?" Jiang Jingci hurriedly took off his headphones and greeted with a smile, "Are you really sure that Lao Li can get out of bed at this point?"
It turned out that Li Desheng did not tell her about her request for a translator.
"I've been bothering Brother Li for two days in a row, and I made an appointment with a translator today." She didn't hide anything from Jiang Jingci.
Jiang Jingci's eyes darkened slightly, but his expression remained decent, "I have nothing to do today. I can accompany you out."
"Mr. Jiang has already helped me too much. If I trouble Mr. Jiang again, I will feel bad. The translator I appointed will be here soon. Let's not talk anymore." She said goodbye to Jiang Jingci.
Before Jiang Jingci could react, she left quickly.
Looking at the figure fading away, Jiang Jingci's eyes flashed with unknown bitterness and determination.
He found Lao Li's phone number and called him. The third time, Lao Li's sleepy voice came.
"Don't you let me sleep so early in the morning--"
"Lao Li, did you say something you shouldn't say in front of Wen Lan yesterday?" Jiang Jingci interrupted him hastily.
"No matter how much I want to be beaten, I know what to say and what not to say to the woman you like." Li Desheng suddenly thought of something, "I just said a few good words for you and persuaded her to accept you as soon as possible. By the way, a man called her yesterday and asked her to buy shaving lotion here and take it back--"
Before Li Desheng finished speaking, Jiang Jingci hung up the phone disappointedly.
When he heard that Wen Lan was getting divorced, he felt like he was about to start a new life, thinking that he had finally seen a glimmer of light in his ten years of lonely life.
But he soon discovered that the so-called light was just an illusion he had imagined because he had stayed in the dark for too long, and it had never existed.
But he was unwilling to accept it.
He was not a person who gave up easily, both in business and in love.
After listening to the phone call between Wen Lan and Shen Yi, he realized that Wen Lan's feelings for Shen Yi were not that deep.
If you want to really get into Wen Lan's heart, rushing will only backfire. Boiling a frog in warm water is the right way!
