Chapter 184: Hard-mouthed
Wen Lan was sincerely happy that Jiang Jingci could come back safely.
After a brief moment of happiness, she began to face up to the current relationship between her and Jiang Jingci.
Seeing that she had no intention of letting him into the room, Jiang Jingci said in a desolate voice: "My friend picked me up from Sihe. After arriving in Jiangcheng, I came to see you without even going home."
"Mr. Jiang, there is a cafe downstairs in the community. Let's talk." Wen Lan was afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors next door, so she hurriedly asked him to go downstairs.
Jiang Jingci's full of expectations and hopes gradually dissipated in her coldness...
The two did not drive, but walked to the cafe downstairs, one in front and one behind.
Wen Lan found the most inconspicuous corner and ordered two cups of coffee casually.
Jiang Jingci sat opposite her, put his mobile phone on the table, and stared at her seriously, "You have blocked all my contact information."
"Yes." She stood very straight and bravely met Jiang Jingci's eyes as deep as a cold pond.
Jiang Jingci crossed his hands, "Can't we even be ordinary friends?"
"Mr. Jiang is so clear-headed, so stop deceiving yourself." Wen Lan looked determined.
Jiang Jingci reached out and held the coffee cup that the waiter had just brought, and his bony fingers were pale.
"Mr. Jiang, if something happens to you at Sihe Station, I will have to bear a heavy debt of favor for the rest of my life." Wen Lan choked up and said.
Jiang Jingci explained in a deep voice: "Going to Gangcheng is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I have been trapped for more than ten hours and have no hope of being rescued. I have written a will. It specifically said that this trip to Gangcheng was a whim and has nothing to do with others."
Seeing that he still didn't give up, Wen Lan said again: "I have said it before, you don't meet my standards for love and mate selection. Even if I plan to fall in love and get married now, I will not consider you."
Wen Lan's words were like a sharp knife, instantly shattering Jiang Jingci's heart.
"So--" Jiang Jingci looked at her deeply and said quietly, "After drinking this cup of coffee, you and I will be strangers?"
Wen Lanshui's eyes were full of determination, "Mr. Jiang, I finally divorced Xie Yansheng. I want to live a stable life for a few days. Please don't bother me anymore."
Jiang Jingci's narrow eyes were full of reluctance, but he had to be convinced by her determination and said "OK" in a trembling voice.
Although she felt that Jiang Jingci was perfunctory, she still breathed a sigh of relief because she had said everything she should say.
She took out two hundred-yuan bills, pressed them under the coffee cup she had not taken a sip of, and left with her handbag.
Jiang Jingci took a sip of the coffee under his eyelids. Although there was no sugar, he didn't feel bitter at all.
Because the bitterness in his heart has overshadowed all the bitterness he has tasted.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, the weather in Jiangcheng turned clear.
All traffic to Gangcheng has been restored, and Wen Lan has booked a flight to Gangcheng at six in the morning.
In the past two days, Xie Yansheng and Jiang Jingci did not bother her, and her life was very peaceful.
After the plane landed in Gangcheng, she smelled the scent of sea water.
Because Gangcheng is surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is a second-tier city in China like Jiangcheng.
When the Internet just started to rise in China, several big names in digital products emerged in Gangcheng.
When the electronic network began to sweep across the country, Gangcheng had become the source of development in the IT industry.
Here gathered the best IT companies and talents at home and abroad, and opportunities were everywhere and fleeting.
Shen Yi chose to start a business in Gangcheng, and he also had the idea of turning the tide in a short time.
Wen Lan had checked in before coming, and did not contact Shen Yi after landing.
Perhaps it was because of New Year's Eve, coupled with the morning fog, there were few taxis at the airport.
Wen Lan waited outside the airport for nearly half an hour, but did not wait for a car back to the city.
Her feet hurt from standing, so she simply sat on the suitcase, looking for a car on the taxi app while looking at the road.
When a new three-story taxi drove up from the road ahead, Wen Lan immediately ran over with her suitcase!
The taxi stopped and slowly lowered the window.
"Master——"
Wen Lan just opened her mouth, but the words got stuck in her throat!
Because the person sitting in the taxi driver's seat was none other than Shen Yi!
"Lan Lan——" Shen Yi quickly opened the door when he saw Wen Lan, with a mixture of surprise and inferiority in his eyes.
"What a coincidence." Wen Lan murmured in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
She obviously didn't want to associate with Shen Yi anymore, but she still met him.
Shen Yi was wearing his old casual jacket. Although his face was very tired, he was as refreshing as ever.
"Why didn't you call me in advance when you came to Hong Kong City?" Shen Yi's voice was a little hoarse, and he rushed to put her suitcase in the trunk and opened the passenger door.
"Don't get me wrong, I came here to find a long-lost relative, not to see you." Wen Lan felt that she couldn't explain it clearly now.
Coming to see someone on New Year's Eve, this reason doesn't stand up to scrutiny!
"I believe everything you say." Shen Yi smiled bitterly.
Because he always believed that Wen Lan came to Hongcheng for her.
The inferiority complex when he first saw Wen Lan gradually disappeared from Shen Yi's face, and he became more calm.
"My digital company has completed recruitment before the New Year. Including me, there are four people in total, three top students studying computer science. The class will officially start on the eighth day of the New Year. I will take you to the company later."
"Okay." Wen Lan did not refuse his intention.
"I was bored when I spent the New Year alone, so I rented this car from a taxi driver. I paid him 3,000 yuan for a week, and the rest was mine." Shen Yi's voice was frank and sad.
"It is said that you don't know how expensive food and firewood are until you run a household. It is true. I opened a company in Hong Kong, a place I am not familiar with. I don't see a penny of income every day, but I have to keep pouring money into it."
Wen Lan felt sour in her heart as she listened.
Shen Yi went from a king who looked down on his life from a high place in the clouds to an entrepreneur who left his hometown to work hard for a living. I guess only he knows the sadness.
As the saying goes, if you can chew grass roots, you can endure everything.
Shen Yi was able to adjust himself in such a short time after his family suffered a major change, which was enough to show his tenacity and perseverance.
I believe that it will not be long before he will have a place that belongs to him.
"Your company has just started, and you will definitely need money to run it." Wen Lan thought about the deposits in her bank card, "If you need it, I can-"
"Not for the time being." Shen Yi interrupted her in a hurry.
Wen Lan found that whenever she offered to lend him money, he would refuse.
Before coming to Hongcheng, she had no idea of Shen Yi's real financial situation and thought he really didn't need money.
Now, she saw with her own eyes that he was working hard to earn money as a taxi driver, but he was still stubborn!
But what made her happy was that when she met Shen Yi this time, she felt that Shen Yi had come out of the grief of his family change.
"Lan Lan, you haven't had breakfast yet? Today is New Year's Eve, and most restaurants are closed. My company has some frozen dumplings, and I'll cook them for you when I get home." Shen Yi quietly looked at Wen Lan while driving.
