Chapter 168 Ex-wife
When Wen Lan heard the knock on the door, he immediately guessed it was Jiang Jingci.
Jiang Jingci was not in a good mood after drinking. Wen Lan didn't want to have a meaningless conversation with him, so he replied at the door: "I've gone to bed. I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do."
The knocking on the door outside stopped instantly.
Wen Lan looked through the peephole and found that Jiang Jingci was still standing at the door and had not left.
She pulled a chair against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to avoid Jiang Jingci tomorrow, she contacted the translator and advanced her departure time by an hour.
But when he opened the door the next morning, he found Jiang Jingci still standing where he was yesterday.
Jiang Jingci was still wearing the same clothes as last night. He looked tired and his eyes were slightly red, as if he hadn't slept all night.
"Mr. Jiang, you got up so early." She took the initiative to say hello without even raising her eyelids.
"I stood at your door all night." Jiang Jingci followed her into the elevator.
The moment the elevator door closed, she quickly put some distance between herself and Jiang Jingci.
"Are you rushing out before dawn to avoid me?" Jiang Jingci stared at her deeply, with a hint of sarcasm in his hoarse voice.
She hurriedly explained: "Mr. Jiang is overthinking. I just want to find my aunt as soon as possible."
"Okay." Jiang Jingci turned his eyes away and said in a low voice, "As long as you say it, I will believe it."
She felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, the elevator door opened soon.
"Goodbye Mr. Jiang." She ran out of the elevator quickly.
Jiang Jingci did not chase her, but watched her slender figure get into a white car.
The car drove far away from the hotel, and Wen Lan saw Jiang Jingci standing at the door of the hotel.
The relationship she likes is mutual love, not chasing after each other.
Jiang Jingci's wishful thinking and paranoia made her heart palpitate!
After searching for several days in Jiacheng, there was no news about Ji Minxin. She was also disappointed and had the idea of leaving Jiacheng as soon as possible.
I checked the booking software on my mobile phone and found that the earliest flight back home that could be booked today was at 8pm.
After quickly booking an economy class ticket and calculating the time to get back to the hotel and the airport, Wen Lan ended her search outside at 5:30 in the afternoon and returned to the hotel.
Jiang Jingci might have gone out. She entered the hotel and didn't touch him when she pulled her suitcase out of the hotel.
Wen Lan successfully took a taxi in broken English and arrived at the airport half an hour later.
Little did she know that less than three minutes after she entered the safe passage, the sound of a thank you banquet came out of another passage.
Before boarding the plane, Jiang Jingci called. Wen Lan declined the call, typed "I have returned to China" on WeChat and sent it, then turned off the phone.
An international flight lasting more than ten hours and having to change planes was a physical and mental torture for Wen Lan.
What she didn't know was that Xie Yansheng and Jiang Jingci met one hour after the flight took off.
Jiang Jingci was a decent man, so he ordered a meal at the Chinese restaurant in the hotel where he was staying, saying he wanted to wash away the dust from the thank you banquet.
He did not refuse the thank you banquet, and went happily after checking in.
The two of them were not thinking about eating, and they didn't even exchange greetings after meeting. They thanked each other for the banquet and got to the point.
"I want to know, when did Mr. Jiang start to have the idea of Lanlan?"
Jiang Jingci personally poured tea for Xie Yansheng and smiled before saying anything, "It should have started from the moment Mr. precious."
Xie Yansheng's brows furrowed even further when he heard the word "Lan Lan" come out of Jiang Jingci's mouth.
"It's just you?" Xie Yansheng laughed disdainfully, "You're going to be an uncle soon, and you have a teenage son with you. How dare you think that!"
"Mr. Jiang has not been able to capture Lanlan's heart for two years. It can be seen that Lanlan values a man's inside, not his outside."
Jiang Jingci's self-confidence, which had just been destroyed by Wen Lan, was immediately resurrected when he saw Xie Yansheng.
"Lan Lan returned to China, but Mr. Jiang stayed in the hotel." Xie Yansheng smiled deeply, "It can be seen that Mr. Jiang has not caught Lan Lan's eyes."
When Jiang Jingci was right, the sullenness in his eyes flashed away, and he smiled appropriately, "Even if I didn't fall in Lanlan's eyes, I still spent several days hanging out with her in the hotel. As for Mr. Xie, when we got off the plane , I’m afraid I don’t know that Lan Lan has already boarded the plane to return to China.”
"Jiang Jingci." When Xie Yan called out the name, his face was solemn and stern, "I hope you can take back your unrealistic dreams and stay away from Wen Lan."
"She is single now, Mr. Xie." Jiang Jingci's eyebrows also became serious, "My relationship with Mr. Xie is at two extremes when it comes to emotional marriage. It's hard to find a woman who likes you, but Mr. Xie thinks I will let him go easily? "
"I spent two years, but I still can't keep Wen Lan's heart. You can't be much better than me." Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "Isn't it good to retreat now and save some dignity for yourself? "
"I don't understand. Mr. Xie is divorced and there are so many beauties out there, why he still thinks about his ex-wife who has become a thing of the past." Jiang Jingci looked coldly at the thank you banquet opposite.
Xie Yan said in a lukewarm voice, "She will not be my past tense, let alone my ex-wife."
"Then I really can't figure out why Mr. Xie wanted a divorce and found someone to bulldoze the wedding house." Jiang Jingci's voice was full of ridicule.
Xie Yan said in a faint voice: "I don't need outsiders to understand what happened between me and her."
The waiter brought the menu and Jiang Jingci motioned to Xie Yansheng to order, but Xie Yansheng stood up and left the restaurant.
Wen Lan changed planes on the way, and because of the flight delay, she arrived in Jiangcheng at the early morning of the day after tomorrow.
Because of the jet lag, she was not sleepy at all when she returned to Blue Water Bay.
She put the dirty clothes of the past few days into the washing machine, and cleaned the room while washing.
After charging the mobile phone that had already consumed power, several missed calls and unread messages popped up immediately.
She took a look, and all the messages were Jiang Jingci asking her if she had arrived in Jiangcheng.
Out of politeness, she replied with the words "already arrived".
Then, Jiang Jingci called, but she didn't answer.
After hanging the clothes, washing the sheets and quilts, Wen Lan lay down on the bed at three o'clock in the morning.
It was noon when she woke up the next day. The curtains were not closed last night, and the dazzling sunlight shone through the gap. She picked up her mobile phone and looked at it for a while before getting up from the bed.
She suddenly remembered that Xie Yansheng had the key to the house, so she made an appointment with a master in the locksmith shop in the same city to replace the current lock cylinder.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although she is single again and has gotten rid of Wen Jinyin, she still doesn't know where Ji Minxin is. She can't relax at all.
Shen Yi called, and before she opened the call, she knew she had to give Shen Yi an explanation.
