Chapter 169 Not Picky
Before answering Shen Yi's call, Wen Lan took a deep breath.
Although she is single now, she has no desire to start another relationship.
Jiang Jingci can't do it, and neither can Shen Yi.
Clicking the answer button, Shen Yi's gentle voice came: "Lan Lan, I have rented a house in Hong Kong City. Although it is not big, the transportation is very convenient. I plan to name the company after our two names -"
"I have to make something clear to you." She interrupted Shen Yi, who was chatting in a lively manner.
Shen Yi on the other end already had a bad premonition, and his high emotions immediately died down: "Just tell me, I'm listening."
"Although I'm divorced, I have no intention of continuing with you." Wen Lan didn't beat around the bush anymore, "From now on, just be ordinary friends who greet you occasionally, and forget about the rest."
"Even if others don't know, don't I know that you divorced me because of me! When something happened to my family, everyone else stayed away, and you were the only one who rushed to the hospital to accompany my mother! You helped my mother jump from the building to her cremation. Take care! When you return to Jiangcheng from the provincial capital, you are in a funeral car like me!"
Shen Yi became emotional.
Wen Lan touched his forehead painfully, "I have said more than once that my divorce has nothing to do with you."
"I don't believe it." Shen Yi said decisively.
Wen Lan held the phone in one hand and twisted the tablecloth with the other, "When something happened to your family, the first thing I thought of was not you, but my aunt. It was indeed my lack of thought when I got into the funeral car. I'm sorry."
Shen Yi suddenly fell into silence.
An unspeakable sadness surged into Wen Lan's heart!
"Actually, when I decided to marry Xie Yansheng, I had completely given up on you." She said slowly.
"Now I have nothing, and I don't have the blessings of those haloes in the past -" Shen Yi's voice choked, and he paused, "I completely understand your decision."
"My decision has nothing to do with whether you have nothing -" Shen Yi ended the call before Wen Lan could finish his urgent words.
The busy signal from the mobile phone made Wen Lan's heart very confused.
Jiang Jingci and Shen Yi, get out of here. She only has one idea now: make more money and find Ji Minxin as soon as possible!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the scheduled locksmith came to change the lock cylinder, and she received a call from Zhou Qiao asking her to go shopping.
She was exhausted from running around in California these days, and she also wanted to relax, so she put on light makeup, found a dressier skirt and coat from the closet and put them on.
Shopping not only relieves stress, Wen Lan's mood also improves with Zhou Qiao chatting beside him.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Zhou Qiao is shopping in major brand stores, but Wen Lan just doesn't want to buy, he is very sensible.
When she was Mrs. Xie, no matter how unreliable Xie Yan's reputation was, she still had the confidence to spend a fortune.
Even though her salary is higher than that of ordinary working-class people, she now has to be careful about her expenses.
Because after finding Ji Minxin, future treatment will still cost a lot of money. Even if there is something that catches my eye, I don’t dare to think about buying it.
Zhou Qiao, who has always been bold and bold, bought two bracelets of different colors and asked her to choose first after paying.
She shook her head repeatedly, and Zhou Qiao advised: "This is my divorce gift to you, you can't accept it."
"I've accepted it from my heart. You can keep it and wear it." She refused again.
"Be polite to me!" Zhou Qiao picked up the bracelet and tied it on her left hand, smiling and tutting, "Your arms are longer than mine, and the bracelet looks better than mine."
"Then accept it. Don't go back to eat tonight, I'm treating you." Wen Lan couldn't refuse anymore and had been thinking about giving Zhou Qiao a return gift for a while.
"A barbecue restaurant has just opened in the food court on the top floor. I heard it tastes good. Go try it!" Zhou Qiao looked at the shopping bags full of big-name brands in their hands and felt that they had almost bought it.
Wen Lan readily agreed. Zhou Qiao was a seasoned foodie and he would definitely not step into trouble if he followed her.
The two walked into the elevator talking and laughing. Before the elevator door closed, a tall, elegantly dressed woman walked in.
The woman has bright makeup, long black hair hanging down her shoulders, and is wearing a white coat from a famous brand.
Wen Lan and Zhou Qiao are fashion designers, so when they see beautiful clothes, they will look at them more.
Wen Lan's attention was entirely on the woman's clothes, but Zhou Qiao's eyes quickly moved to the woman's face. When he saw the woman's facial features clearly, the elevator door opened and the woman had left.
"That white coat just now suddenly inspired me, and I'm going to design one——"
As soon as Wen Lan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhou Qiao, "Do you know who that woman is?"
"Who?" Wen Lan asked nonchalantly.
"Thank you for your blind date with Zhazha for the purpose of getting married, An Zhen." Zhou Qiao snorted disdainfully, "As soon as Shen Yi's father stepped down, the man surnamed Yan took over."
Wen Lan remembered that a few days ago, he had seen the news in the media that "An Xuezhi was promoted to Jiangcheng Daishizhang due to his outstanding work ability."
"She is An Xuezhi's daughter?"
In fact, it was not this that touched Wen Lan's heartstrings, but that the woman turned out to be Xie Yansheng's blind date.
She had already given up Mrs. Xie's seat. Xie Yansheng should marry Cheng Nijia, so how could she find another blind date?
Zhou Qiao nodded, "An Xuezhi's wife is a very good writer, and An Zhen is their only child. He just completed his graduate studies in Beijing this year and was admitted to the civil service."
Just as he was talking, the elevator stopped at the top floor, and the two walked into the barbecue restaurant side by side.
"The An family is really not picky! In addition to having a lot of money and a good skin, Xie Yansheng has no good character. An Xuezhi and his wife actually like him!"
Zhou Qiao's words made Wen Lan feel a little sad.
Wen Lan secretly cursed herself: He loves his relative, what does it have to do with you!
After sitting down and ordering, Zhou Qiao found that Wen Lan was a little depressed, and asked hurriedly: "Are you upset because you heard that your ex-husband had a woman so soon?"
"No way!" Wen Lan said, "Before the divorce, he had many women outside. If I had taken it to heart, I would have been angry to death."
"You should be happy that you got rid of the scumbag Xie and stayed away from the Xie family." Zhou Qiao comforted, "I heard the news of your divorce, I feel like you have been reborn."
The two chatted while eating, and the barbecue was very pleasant.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Qiao in the parking lot, Wen Lan drove back to Blue Water Bay.
Coming out of the elevator of the apartment building, I saw a tall man standing at the door.
With clear and elegant facial features, a decent handmade suit, and the elegance in his every move, who else could it be except Xie Yansheng!
Wen Lan secretly sighed, fortunately she changed the lock cylinder in the afternoon, otherwise she would see Xie Yansheng sitting in her living room when she opened the door!
Xie Yansheng's gloomy eyes were fixed on her.
She stood at the elevator entrance and had no intention of opening the door for the time being.
Because she was afraid that Xie Yansheng would take the opportunity to break in.
"Since you are back, why don't you go to the old house to get your clothes back?" Xie Yansheng's deep black pupils showed feelings that she could not see through.
