Chapter 206 Divided
Land 2
When Wen Lan heard Jiang Jingci's "thank you for the banquet", his face immediately darkened.
During the two years when I was with Xie Yansheng, no matter what the quarrel was about, it would eventually involve Shen Yi, and Shen Yi would take the blame.
She hated this distrust to her core.
Jiang Jingci was calm and steady, and was considerate and caring enough for her. She had decided to get on with it.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Jingci still regarded Xie Yansheng as a comparison object.
Xie Yansheng took her to watch the fireworks last year, but Jiang Jingci didn't take her wishes into consideration at all. Now he wants to prove to her that he can do it too!
If the relationship continues, will Jiang Jingci have to compete with Xie Yansheng in everything?
When we get along in the future, will Jiang Jingci hold on to her Zeng like he did with Xie Yansheng?
This is not what she wants!
She had gone through so much trouble to get divorced and stay away from Xie Yansheng's life circle, but Jiang Jingci was competing with Xie Yansheng, which made her always think of the unbearable two-year marriage!
"I'm going back to the city, so I won't eat." Her eyes dimmed, and she forced out a perfunctory smile, "I'll take a ride, and you can stay and watch the fireworks and folk performances."
By the time Jiang Jingci reacted, Wen Lan had already walked out of Building 2.
"Did I say something I shouldn't have said again?" Jiang Jingci followed her closely and asked guiltily.
"No." At this time, she was ready to end this relationship that had only lasted for half a day.
"Then we won't be eating, and we won't be watching the fireworks or folk performances." Jiang Jingci said with a busy smile, "We will go back to the city now."
"I'd better go back by myself." She said and opened the taxi app on her mobile phone.
"Wen Lan, we just said at noon that we need to be honest with each other." Only then did Jiang Jingci realize the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly reached out to take away her phone, "What are you dissatisfied with me about? Tell me about it?"
She had made up her mind and had no desire to explain. She pursed her lips and said, "You and I are not suitable, so forget it. Today, I still want to thank you for your company."
Jiang Jingci thought about what she had said over and over again, and soon realized which sentence had offended her.
"I said that I can give you what Xie Yansheng can give you. I really spoke from the bottom of my heart. I thought so in my heart and said it like this. I can swear that there is absolutely no malice or ridicule." Jiang Jingci's dark color was calm and sincere.
"We are indeed not suitable for each other, let's end it now." After Wen Lan finished speaking, he reached out to him, "Mobile phone?"
Jiang Jingci handed her the phone over and stared at her deeply, with a strong sense of oppression in his eyes. "If you sentence me out just because of one sentence, I won't agree."
"Sorry, Lao Jiang, I don't want to continue." Wen Lan lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him, "Let's just be ordinary friends. It would be nice to greet him occasionally in the future."
"You gave me hope at noon, kill it with your own hands now -" Jiang Jingci covered his heart with one hand, his face frighteningly gloomy, "Wen Lan, I am fourteen years older than you. Ordinary couples break up and get back together earlier. It’s not suitable for me. I’m really running for marriage, and now I just want to ask you something that comes from my heart—can you take back what you just said?”
Without even thinking about it, she shook her head decisively, "I already hate myself now. I shouldn't have said that I would try dating for a month at noon."
Jiang Jingci's narrow eyes were filled with forbearance. He paused for a moment and said in disappointment, "I respect your choice."
She had no idea that Jiang Jingci would be so easy to talk to, so she hurriedly thanked him.
"It's not easy to get a ride here, so get in the car. I took you out of the city and I have to send you back." Jiang Jingci unlocked the car door with a sullen face.
This time, she sat directly in the back seat.
On the way back to the city, Jiang Jingci drove very fast, and the two of them did not communicate at all.
Jiang Jingci sent her downstairs to the hotel in a gentlemanly manner, and when he got off the bus, she thanked him again.
But Jiang Jingci didn't answer this time. After watching her enter the elevator, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Qiao's number.
As soon as Zhou Qiao said "Hey", he said two words in despair: "We're divided."
"What's the difference?" Zhou Qiao was confused.
"Wen Lan just broke up with me." He sighed quietly, "less than twelve hours after we agreed to date, it ended."
"Isn't that true?" Zhou Qiao couldn't guess what Wen Lan was thinking, so he comforted Jiang Jingci, "I'll call and ask her what she thinks. I'll call you later."
"Forget it. She and I both need to calm down now. Let's talk tomorrow." Jiang Jingci hung up the phone first.
After sitting in the car for a while, I calmed down before driving out of the hotel.
When Wen Lan returned to the room, she received a call from Zhou Qiao. She guessed that it was Jiang Jingci who asked Zhou Qiao to ask, so she started to yell, "It's just inappropriate. There's nothing to say!"
"What exactly is inappropriate?" Zhou Qiao asked.
"It doesn't fit anywhere from head to toe! Let's not talk anymore. I have to go to see clients tomorrow and go to bed!" Wen Lan hung up the phone before Zhou Qiao could answer.
For some reason, she felt heavy when she agreed to try dating Jiang Jingci.
Now that it was over, she felt extremely relaxed.
Perhaps, she is not suitable for love and marriage.
Lying on the bed and scrolling through her phone, she inexplicably remembered the sound of Xie Yan.
I really can’t understand that Xie Yansheng still remembers the promise she made a year ago!
At this time, Bai Yueguang was still lying in the hospital. Xie Yansheng should stay in Jiangcheng. Why did he come to Beijing?
At noon, when she walked past Xie Yansheng holding Jiang Jingci's arm, what would Xie Yansheng be thinking?
She was lost in thought, and as she was thinking, she opened WeChat and sent a voice message to Zhou Qiao: "Did Cheng Nijia succeed in getting promoted?"
Then, Zhou Qiao sent a voice call, "The Xie family has been very busy these two days! An Zhen canceled the engagement ceremony, Cheng Nijia forced Xie Zhazha to marry her, Mr. Xie went to the hospital in the morning, and Mrs. Xie had a high blood pressure attack in the afternoon and also went to the hospital."
Wen Lan said "Oh".
The people of the Xie family are now very far away from her.
She asked a question that had been weighing on her mind for two days: "Qiaoqiao, do you think Xie Yansheng will marry Cheng Nijia?"
"No." Zhou Qiao said firmly, "If he wanted to marry, he would have married her before you. You may not know that Xie Yu from the second branch of the Xie family has become the vice president of Gu's and has taken over Xie Yansheng's previous job. It is obvious that Mr. Xie wants Xie Yu to be the successor."
"In fact, Mr. Xie has always been partial to the second branch. At the beginning, he let Xie Yansheng enter Gu's and did not let Xie Yansheng get involved in the company's core business. But Xie Yu is different. He became the financial director after entering Gu's." Wen Lan has lived in the Xie family for two years and has long seen through Mr. Xie.
Zhou Qiao: "I feel that Xie Yansheng and An Zhen got engaged to please Mr. Xie, but I didn't expect Cheng Nijia to ruin it!"
