Chapter 187 Sharing
Xie Jianning called twice before Xie Yansheng came back to his senses.
When the phone was connected, both of them were silent.
"Brother." Xie Jianning spoke first, with despair in his cold voice, "I'm in Hongcheng."
Xie Yansheng said "hmm".
Xie Jianning smiled self-deprecatingly: "Wen Lan is also in Hongcheng."
At this time, Xie Yansheng's hand holding the phone trembled.
"I saw her and Shen Yi going in and out of Fangyuan Building together." Xie Jianning was depressed and said slowly, "It's true that they are old acquaintances. The name of Shen Yi's company is named after the two of them."
The Xie family said that it was Wen Lan who pestered Xie Yansheng and shamelessly occupied the position of Mrs. Xie, but she felt that Xie Yansheng cared about Wen Lan to the bone.
So, she saw that Wen Lan was unhappy with Shen Yi, and she needed Xie Yansheng to share the unhappiness.
"Wen Lan and I are no longer husband and wife. It has nothing to do with me whether she is dating a man or not." Xie Yansheng's voice was cold. "The Shen family has fallen. Shen Yi has little chance of turning the tables on his own. The old man has made it clear more than once that he will not let you date Shen Yi anymore."
"My feelings and marriage do not need anyone else to interfere, and the old man should not even think about it." Xie Jianning said resolutely and hung up the phone.
Xie Yansheng's heart was in a mess because of her words.
No matter how he tried, he still couldn't stop Wen Lan from going to Gangcheng.
Wen Lan's heart has always been with Shen Yi. When she was Mrs. Xie, she had some concerns. Now that she is free again, Shen Yi is in Gangcheng, how can she feel at ease staying in Jiangcheng!
The little flame of jealousy burned more and more in Xie Yansheng's heart.
He used a mobile phone number that he had just registered yesterday and called Wen Lan several times in a row.
Wen Lan didn't answer.
Presumably, he is now in love with Shen Yi. He pressed the cigarette butt that had long been burned out in his hand into the ashtray.
A layer of ash overflowed and fell on the small table, lightly and shallowly, just like his two-year marriage with Wen Lan.
It clearly existed, but it had no foundation or attachment. Once the wind blew, there was no trace.
Accompanied by Shen Yi, Wen Lan searched in the urban area of Gangcheng for five days, but still had no news of Ji Minxin.
The two had no guide, so they could only use the dumbest method to act separately, looking for one by one. In five days, they also visited all the hospitals and sanatoriums in the city.
Wen Lan had to go to work on the sixth day of the New Year, and she took a flight to Jiangcheng on the evening of the fourth day of the New Year.
Shen Yi drove her to the airport and waited until she entered the security check channel before going back.
After the security check, Wen Lan used the mobile bank to transfer 500,000 to Shen Yi, and attached a message: If you are a friend, accept it!
She had known for a long time that digital companies needed a lot of capital investment before they could officially operate.
During the five days in Hongcheng, she witnessed Shen Yi's difficult life. In order to ensure Ji Minxin's future treatment and life, she could only give Shen Yi this much.
Soon, Shen Yi called back.
"Lanlan, the company will be up and running soon. We really don't need money. I will transfer it to you right away."
She had long guessed that Shen Yi would be so polite, and said with a straight face: "The money is lent to you. On this day next year, you have to pay off the principal and interest in one lump sum according to the current bank interest rate."
Shen Yi on the other end was stunned, and choked his throat and said "OK".
Wen Lan had no idea that Xie Yansheng knew it less than five minutes after she transferred the money to Shen Yi.
At that moment, Xie Yansheng's heart was completely in despair.
During the continuation of their marriage, Wen Lan calculated his money and his things all the time. But he didn't expect that Wen Lan would be so generous to Shen Yi, who was penniless at the time!
Before the Shen family fell, he always thought that Wen Lan was thinking about Shen Yi because of the illusory halo on Shen Yi.
Now, he finally knew Wen Lan's feelings for Shen Yi, which he could never hope to achieve in his life.
Perhaps, this is the difference between love and not love.
Wen Lan landed in Jiangcheng at nine o'clock in the evening.
When she found the car in the parking lot, Shen Yi sent a WeChat message asking her if she had arrived in Jiangcheng.
She replied without hesitation: Arrived.
Shen Yi sent another WeChat message: Report safety to me after arriving at the apartment.
She replied: Trouble!
Then, Shen Yi sent an emoticon package saying "No trouble".
Wen Lan drove back to the city. There were folk performances on several streets, and the traffic was very congested. When she returned to Blue Water Bay, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Shen Yi sent a request for WeChat video, she clicked to reject it, and sent a voice message: "I have arrived at the apartment safely, and I am going to sleep."
After washing up, she threw the dirty clothes of the past few days into the washing machine and went to bed.
The next day was the fifth day of the first lunar month. When Wen Lan woke up, it was almost noon outside.
Wen Zuming has not contacted her since the last time she met him in the supermarket.
If she had not been afraid of being discovered by the Wen family, she would have called Wen Zuming long ago.
Today, she decided to go back to the Wen family with a thick face to see if she could talk to Wen Zuming quietly.
Before the divorce, Xie Yansheng would always prepare various gift boxes for her every time she went back. This time, because she had to pay for it herself, she only bought two boxes of imported fruits, but still bought a set of toys worth four or five hundred yuan for Wen Zuming.
In the past, she had Xie Yansheng, the social expert, by her side, so even if her relationship with Wen Jinyin was tense, she didn't have to find ways to ease the relationship.
This time, she stood at the door of Wen's house for a full ten minutes before she mustered up the courage to press the doorbell.
When the nanny saw her, she didn't let her in as readily as before, but said she would go and inform Wen Jinyin.
Soon, the nanny returned and invited her into the house.
Wen Yunzheng passed away a few years ago, and there are still elegiac couplets posted on all the doors in the house. When Wen Lan walked into the living room, she felt a chill down her spine.
"Hey, am I dazzled?" Wen Jinyin, wearing home clothes, was sitting in the living room making tea. When she heard Wen Lan come in, she raised her eyelids with disdain.
"I'm coming home to take a look." Wen Lan said, putting down the fruit and toy boxes in his hands and looking towards the second floor, "Is Zu Ming at home? I bought him a set of toys."
"I remember you said that it has nothing to do with you whether the Wen family and the Wen family live or die." Wen Jinyin held a blue and white porcelain tea cup in one hand and glanced at her, "Stop acting, I know you came here because you want to know Ji Minxin’s situation.”
Hearing this, Wen Lan breathed quickly: "Xie Yansheng and I have divorced, and I have no use to you anymore. Please give me my mother back."
"It was you who failed to fulfill your promise. If Ji Minxin died, it was your fault." Wen Jinyin's cunning eyes were filled with cold light.
Wen Lan was so angry that her heart ached, but she still begged softly and gently: "Xie Yansheng has helped you and the Wen family a lot in the past two years. Please stop using my mother to manipulate me!"
"Get out now, you are not welcome here!" At this time, Mrs. Wen walked down the second floor holding the stairs.
