Chapter 175 Ask her out
At this moment, Wen Lan's heart was occupied by the news that Ji Minxin was in Hongcheng, and she didn't want to go to Jiang's house for dinner.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I have something else to do." She was ready to book a ticket to Hongcheng immediately.
Little did she know that this sentence was just a perfunctory one for Jiang Jingci.
But his usual self-restraint controlled him, and his attitude was still decent, continuing to fight for opportunities for himself.
"If you don't have time at noon, you can always have it in the evening, right? If you don't go out, just set up a small family dinner at the 'Qiu Shui Terrace'. There will be no outsiders, just you, me, and Jiang Guan."
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang. I really have something to do." She opened the car door, got on the driver's seat, and quickly fastened her seat belt.
Jiang Jingci took the initiative to make way for her, and waited until she drove away, still standing there.
"Why, didn't you make the appointment?" Jiang Guan put an arm around his neck from behind and asked with a smile.
He was lost, "Go home."
"Old Jiang, my mother is the only woman you have ever had in your life. You are a complete love novice. You can't be straightforward when chasing a woman. You need to spend some time thinking!" Jiang Guan looked like a little love expert.
"Don't wait until you make an appointment with her to show up. You can send flowers or gifts in your spare time. Let her have psychological dependence on you first. Then you can make requests. Isn't it easy to get it done!"
"You are so smart, are you in love too early?" Jiang Jingci also felt that what he said made sense, but he quickly came to his senses and asked hurriedly.
"I gave you some advice, but you are not grateful and you insult me! Forget it, just ignore what I said." Jiang Guan took out a box of chewing gum from his jacket pocket, poured out a piece and put it in his mouth to chew.
After the father and son got in the car, Jiang Jingci just started the engine and the mobile bank card received a notification sound.
He took a look and saw that it was Wen Lan who transferred the 480 yuan from the supermarket shopping.
He was already very upset, and this message of the arrival of the account almost made him have a heart attack.
Throwing the phone on the dashboard, the car turned off, leaning back in the seat and closing his eyes, "Let me take a break before I go."
Jiang Guan picked up his phone and looked at it, then smiled and said, "You've settled the accounts so clearly, it seems that she doesn't like you."
Jiang Jingci said nothing.
"Her ex-husband was so romantic, I guess your honest and decent style is not to her taste at all." Jiang Guan put his hands behind his head and thought for a moment, "I'll make an appointment with her for you and see if I can trick her to "Qiu Shui Terrace."
Wen Lan drove out of the supermarket parking lot and couldn't bear the excitement in her heart. She parked the car on the side of the road and opened the ticket booking software on her mobile phone to go to Gangcheng.
Although she didn't know Ji Minxin's detailed address yet, she was ready to stay in Gangcheng for a long time to find Ji Minxin.
Gangcheng is nearly 500 kilometers away from Jiangcheng, and she first considered high-speed rail and plane.
The New Year is just a few days away, and it's hard to book high-speed rail tickets and plane tickets.
She added two paid packages and finally grabbed a high-speed rail ticket for the day after tomorrow afternoon.
Well, she can use tonight and tomorrow morning to plan this trip to Hong Kong.
Last time, with the help of Jiang Jingci's friends, she avoided a lot of trouble in the city. This time she went to find Ji Minxin alone, and she had to consider every detail.
Back to Blue Water Bay, she began to pack the things in the shopping bag. When she opened the second bag, she found that it was full of fresh meat and seafood.
This bag should be Jiang Jingci's. It was completely blocked by another bag at the time. In addition, she was absent-minded and didn't notice it at all.
After finding the supermarket receipt that she crumpled into a ball, she found that the shopping bag taken away by Jiang Jingci was all her rations for the two days of the New Year.
Eight bags of frozen dumplings, six boxes of pre-prepared dishes, yogurt, milk, fruits and instant oatmeal.
If only her bag was taken away by Jiang Jingci, she would immediately go to the supermarket to buy it again.
But her things were not even enough to buy a box of dried abalone in Jiang Jingci's shopping bag, not to mention that Jiang Jingci also said that he wanted to have a family banquet for his birthday.
How can we do without ingredients!
She found Jiang Jingci's phone number but before she dialed it, a strange number called.
When she clicked it, she heard Jiang Guan's sad voice: "Sister Lan, I was beaten by a few hooligans in the game city just now. I was injured. Please help me and lend me some medical expenses."
"Is your injury serious? Where are you now?" Wen Lan was palpitating and asked hurriedly, "Does your father know?"
"Old Jiang disliked my premature love and cut off my pocket money the day before yesterday." Jiang Guan said with a painful groan, "Transfer me a thousand yuan first so that I can bandage my wound. Don't worry about other things! Don't let Old Jiang know! Because if Old Jiang knows, he will peel my skin!"
Although Wen Lan was deliberately avoiding Jiang Jingci, Jiang Jingci helped her so much, she was grateful.
Jiang Jingci's son was in trouble, so she would not sit idly by.
"Which hospital are you in? I'll go there right away." She said as she picked up her coat and car keys.
"How dare I go to the hospital? I just found a clinic at random. Let me see the name of the clinic--" Jiang Guan on the other end said with a "ouch" in pain, "Lihe Road 'Wei Min Clinic'."
"It's quite close to the community where I live, only a ten-minute drive. You stay well, I'll be there soon." Wen Lan quickly closed the door and went downstairs.
Lihe Road is an old street that has been included in the government's demolition plan after the new year. Now it is in ruins everywhere.
She drove around Lihe Road twice before she saw the sign of "Wei Min Clinic" in an inconspicuous corner.
Jiang Guan had a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his head and was squatting at the door of the clinic, looking around.
Wen Lan got out of the car and ran over quickly.
She found that the gauze on Jiang Guan's forehead had been soaked with blood, and asked distressedly: "This small clinic is not good! I'd better take you to a regular hospital for a check-up!"
"Old Jiang is out to eat with his friends now. While he is not at home, please ask Sister Lan to send me back to "Qiu Shui Tai" as soon as possible." Jiang Guan clasped his hands together and made a gesture of gratitude to Wen Lan, "By the way, pay my medical expenses before you leave."
Wen Lan reached out to touch his forehead, but he avoided her. She had to walk into the clinic and asked the middle-aged doctor in a white coat inside how much she needed to pay.
"Disinfection, cleaning, and three more stitches, five hundred yuan." The doctor, who was busy watching TV series on his tablet, replied indifferently.
Wen Lan felt that it was a bit of a rip-off, but she still scanned the QR code on the table for five hundred yuan.
After inviting Jiang Guan to the car, Wen Lan remembered that she had forgotten Jiang Jingci's bag of fresh food in her apartment.
He wanted to go back to Blue Water Bay, but Jiang Guan wouldn't let him, saying that Old Jiang wasn't home right now, and he had to go back to Qiu Shui Terrace quickly, lock himself in the bedroom to recover from his injuries, and then see Jiang Jingci again.
Wen Lan had no choice but to do as he was told, and asked him if he had called the police.
He sneered, "I just beat them up with my buddies last month, and they beat me up today, so we're even."
Wen Lan felt that Jiang Guan's cognition was problematic, and he would tell Jiang Jingci about it when he had time.
The car quickly drove into "Qiu Shui Terrace", and Wen Lan, thinking about his shopping bag, went into Jiang's house with Jiang Guan.
Unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Jingci, wearing an apron, coming out of the living room.
