Chapter 178 Persistence
Wen Lan didn't expect that Jiang Jingci came out of the study and handed her a simple box, the size of a palm, very delicate.
"It's a gadget, let's see if you like it?" Although Jiang Jingci's tone was a bit modest, he was confident.
Wen Lan didn't even look at it and put it on the small table beside him. "Mr. Jiang has already helped me too much. If I accept any more of Mr. Jiang's things, my conscience will be uneasy."
"Don't you have the desire to open the things I gave you?" Jiang Jingci's narrow eyes were somewhat dissatisfied, but there was still a slight smile on the corners of his lips.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang." She didn't feel like talking any further and quickly walked out of Jiang's house.
The huge room immediately became empty again, and Jiang Jingci felt cold from head to toe.
Picking up the pair of coffee cups again, Jiang Jingci was lost in thought as he looked at them.
When Wen Lan drove out of Qiushuitai, his mind was filled with thoughts about his trip to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow.
So much so that Xie Yansheng's car passed by without him noticing.
The moment Xie Yansheng saw her car coming out of her Qiushuitai, he was so angry that he almost ran a red light.
He thought that when Shen Yi went to Hong Kong City, Wen Lan would live an honest and responsible life alone.
It's only been a few days, but you've been in and out of Jiang Jingci's residence?
While driving, he freed his hand to pick up his phone and clicked on it. Then he remembered that several of his numbers had been blacklisted by her, so he threw the phone on the dashboard.
When the car reached the intersection ahead, he quickly turned around and drove towards Blue Water Bay.
A harsh phone call rang.
He was in a troubled mood and clicked on speakerphone without looking.
"Yansheng, I bought a lot of fresh ingredients at the supermarket in the morning. How about coming to Xiyuan for dinner in the evening?"
It was Cheng Nijia who I hadn’t contacted for several days.
"I have an appointment tonight, but I can't go." Xie Yan refused.
"Is it An Zhen?" Cheng Nijia laughed bitterly, "For so many years, the women around you have been like a revolving lantern, always changing."
"If nothing happens, hang up." Xie Yansheng had no desire to continue the conversation.
Cheng Nijia heard that he was about to end the call and hurriedly called him out: "For you, I brought Cheng Cheng to Jiangcheng. Now the job is gone, my aunt's backer has fallen, and my aunt has also been brought in to investigate! What do you think about it now? I’m afraid I can’t avoid it, what’s the point of living like this?”
"What about me?" Xie Yan paused and said mockingly, "Wen Lan and Wen Lan got to the point of divorce, weren't you the one who was adding fuel to the flames?"
"Wen Lan loves Shen Yi. He used despicable means to crawl into your bed and force you to marry her in order to let the Wen family make better use of you!" Cheng Nijia snorted disdainfully, "You guys After two years, you won’t fall in love with her, right?”
Xie Yansheng frowned, was stunned for a long time, and asked slowly: "In the past seven years, the money I have given you inside and outside should have paid off that debt, right?"
"After the accident seven years ago, I told you clearly -" Cheng Nijia smiled coldly, "What I want is a man who takes care of me and loves me! Have you done it?"
Xie Yansheng drove with one hand and pressed his sore forehead with the other.
"In order to appease me, you used carefully constructed lies to make me stay in Lincheng and give birth to Cheng Cheng——" Cheng Nijia said with a tearful tone, "I have been waiting for you in Lincheng for five years. What I heard But it’s the news that you got married and brought Wen Lan into the family——"
"We have known each other for ten years, and I have never said anything like I like you. No matter whether it was before or after the accident."
Xie Yansheng turned to the right, parked the car on the side of the road, and said in a deep voice, "I have advised you many times to find a good man, fall in love and start a family, but you are too obsessed with it."
"Yes, Mrs. Xie is gone, and here comes Miss An. How can a dirty woman like me be qualified to be Mr. Xie's woman!" Cheng Nijia's voice was lonely and sad.
"I can give you money and things to help you show off your affection in public, so that you can feel superior about being loved by men. But, for the rest, I'm sorry." Xie Yansheng couldn't say any more and simply ended the call.
When Wen Lan returned to Blue Water Bay, she turned on her laptop and made plans for her trip to the port city the day after tomorrow.
In fact, Shen Yi was in Hong Kong at this time and could help her to some extent. But Wen Lan didn't want to trouble him, let alone let him know that he was going to Hong Kong City.
She first made statistics on the public and private hospitals in Hong Kong City. Not counting the counties and districts under its jurisdiction, there were more than twenty in the urban area of Hong Kong City alone.
The last time she was in Jiacheng, Country M, with the help of the know-it-all Li Desheng, except that her legs were tired from running, she basically followed Li Desheng's instructions without any such trouble.
She made a document with the hospital's contact information and address, and was about to sort out the nursing home information when there was a knock on the door.
Looking through the peephole, it turned out to be the sound of thanking the banquet!
Wen Lan was a little broken. She was already divorced. Why was Xie Yansheng still clinging to her like a dog-skin plaster?
She had no idea of opening the door, feeling that Xie Yansheng would leave after a short time outside.
"Wen Lan, I know you are in the room, open the door." Xie Yan's banging on the door hurt her eardrums.
She covered her ears and returned to the bedroom, closing the bedroom door and refusing to open it despite the sound of banquet knocking.
After more than ten minutes, it stopped outside.
She walked quietly to the living room and looked out of the peephole. The sound of thanking the banquet was gone.
She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but based on her understanding of Xie Yan's voice, she still gave up the idea of opening the door and taking a look outside.
Return to the living room and continue working on the laptop.
The incoming call on the phone that had been set to silent kept flashing. It was an unknown number.
No need to guess, she knew it was Xie Yan's voice.
After counting all the nursing home information in Hong Kong City, it was completely dark outside.
Wen Lan made herself a cup of fruit tea and stood in front of the small French window in the living room to look at the night view of Jiangcheng.
The traffic was heavy and bustling.
None of the lights in these thousands of houses were turned on for her...
An indescribable sadness suddenly came over her, and a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
She stood until her legs were sore, and then she went to take a shower and sleep.
When she woke up, she pulled open the curtains and looked outside. Jiang Jingci was right. It was raining outside.
To be exact, it was sleet.
She hurriedly turned on her mobile phone and checked it. Fortunately, there was no news of flight and high-speed rail delays on the Internet.
There were more than a dozen missed calls on it, all from the strange number last night.
She couldn't help but sneer. Xie Yansheng was really persistent!
Because she bought a lot of ingredients yesterday, she ate and drank in the room and didn't go out until she went to Gangcheng.
This time, the clothes she wore and brought were all comfortable casual clothes.
Coming out of the elevator and walking into the parking lot, Wen Lan saw Xie Yansheng's car parked opposite hers.
She didn't think of saying hello to Xie Yansheng, and picked up the suitcase and put it in the trunk of her car.
Unexpectedly, a pair of slender arms suddenly stretched out from behind her.
Before she put her suitcase in, she heard a "bang" sound, which was the sound of the trunk lid being closed heavily.
