Chapter 250: Sober Up
Zhou Qiao's refusal did not make Jiang Jingci leave in a hurry.
He stood at the door, his eyes fell on the bouquet of red roses on Wen Lan's table, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Xie Yansheng and I are not compatible. It would be bad if I went to his wedding day and bumped into him. I'd better not go!" Zhou Qiao once again made his attitude clear.
Jiang Jingci raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't have much friendship with the Xie family, but I'm okay with the An family."
"Lan Lan still has a lot of work to do. Let's go to my office to talk. A few days ago, a friend brought two bottles of fine Blue Mountain from abroad. It's just right to give you one bottle." Zhou Qiao knew that Wen Lan was avoiding Jiang Jingci, and hurriedly asked him to go upstairs.
Jiang Jingci shook his head embarrassedly, "You stay. I have severe insomnia recently and I dare not drink coffee anymore. Since you don't want to go, then I will go alone."
Zhou Qiao reached out to help Wen Lan close the door and sent Jiang Jingci out.
After the door lock fell, Wen Lan got up from the computer.
Jiang Jing resigned, so she didn't have to install it anymore.
Near noon, the business that made her custom cabinets and wardrobes called and said that all the custom cabinets had arrived and could be installed at any time.
She was in a hurry to move in, so she immediately agreed with the business to start the installation at 1pm.
Since its establishment, tt has provided lunch for employees every day. Zhou Qiao has always had high taste, so she found a very good catering company.
The catering company would deliver meals every day at noon. Today, it was a box lunch with two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish. Wen Lan's stomach was churning after opening it, and she didn't eat it at all.
On the way back to "Shuyuan Mansion", she was so hungry that she felt uncomfortable, and she also had an urge to eat spicy food!
She found a Sichuan restaurant on the side of the road and ordered a spicy chicken and pickled pepper bamboo shoots, and ate a large bowl of rice.
When she got down from the table, her stomach felt indescribably comfortable.
She was secretly surprised. She didn't eat spicy food before, so what happened today?
They say "sour boys and spicy girls", is she pregnant with a girl?
Thinking of this, Wen Lan's lips curled up into a smile that she didn't even notice.
If possible, she would choose to have a daughter.
For some reason, she remembered that Xie Yansheng had also said that he liked daughters.
After paying the bill, Wen Lan walked out of the restaurant and saw Cheng Nijia getting out of a black car, holding Cheng Cheng's hand.
Cheng Nijia had delicate makeup and wore a black dress, which set off her curvy figure very well.
Both mother and daughter are beauties, and they are dressed beautifully. They are very eye-catching when standing on the street.
Cheng Nijia had come to her a while ago and said that Cheng Cheng was hidden by Xie Yansheng, and asked her to help talk to Xie Yansheng.
Now seeing Cheng Nijia and her daughter reunited, Wen Lan felt that Cheng Nijia had settled Xie Yansheng.
The moment Cheng Nijia saw Wen Lan, she stopped and whispered a few words in Cheng Cheng's ear, and Cheng Cheng jumped to the pizza shop in front.
Wen Lan saw Cheng Nijia coming towards her and hurriedly opened her car door, but was stopped by Cheng Nijia, "It's been a long time since we last met. Let's chat for a while, Miss Wen?"
"I really don't think there's anything to talk about with you." Wen Lan sat in the driver's seat, but Cheng Nijia stretched out her hand to block the car door.
The two of them exchanged glances in the air.
Wen Lan knew that Cheng Nijia and her would definitely talk about Xie Yansheng, so she adjusted her seat and said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."
"Xie Yansheng still married An Zhen." Cheng Nijia opened her red lips slightly, and her voice suddenly dimmed.
"So what?" Wen Lan asked back.
Cheng Nijia stared at Wen Lan, her eyes as sharp as a dagger with a cold glow.
"His first marriage was to you, and the second was to An Zhen! I waited for him for so many years, what am I?"
Cheng Nijia's face was full of hysterical madness.
"Ms. Cheng, I am at best Xie Yansheng's ex-wife. Is it interesting to say these words to me?" Wen Lan said, took her hand off the car door and quickly closed it.
Cheng Nijia heard the sound of the car starting the engine, and then tried to calm down her almost collapsed emotions. She watched Wen Lan's car drive into the driveway before going to meet Cheng Cheng.
Not long after Wen Lan came to "Shuyuan Mansion", the workers delivered her customized cabinets and wardrobes.
Because there were many cabinets and the installation time was long, Wen Lan left a spare decoration key and went to look at home appliances.
She quickly selected a refrigerator, washing machine and water heater from the brand she liked. After paying the money, the boss immediately sent workers to deliver them to "Shuyuan Mansion".
She was not going to buy a TV because she saw a post on the Internet saying that watching TV would hurt the eyes of children who were too young.
As long as she thought about paying the remaining half of the balance immediately after the cabinets and wardrobes were installed, she felt painful!
The amount in her bank card was getting less and less, and she was now thinking about making money.
After leaving the home appliance store, she returned to TT and locked herself in the studio to continue sorting out the drawings.
The drawings were all drawn randomly in F country this month, and she made changes to the parts that did not conform to the aesthetics of the Chinese people.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Wen Lan thought it was Xiao Li, and she was so busy that she shouted "Come in" without even raising her head.
But soon, she heard Jiang Jingci's footsteps!
A strong smell of alcohol came from behind her, and she hurriedly opened the window.
Turning her head, she met Jiang Jingci's burning eyes!
"Sorry Wen Lan, I'm drunk, I want to sit here with you to sober up." Jiang Jingci took the initiative to speak and sat on the chair at the door.
Although Wen Lan felt uncomfortable, she was too embarrassed to immediately order him to leave. She gritted her teeth and poured a glass of water beside him, "Sit down and drink water first. I still have a lot of work to do, so I can't chat with you."
"You are busy, I will never delay your work." Jiang Jingci smelled of alcohol, but he spoke decently.
Wen Lan returned to his workstation, picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Qiao: Jiang Jingci is staying in my studio and won't leave, come here quickly!
Zhou Qiao did not respond. In order to cover up her uneasiness, Wen Lan took the stack of design drafts and looked at them. Only she knew that she didn't read them into her heart at all.
Even though she had her back to Jiang Jingci at the door, she could still clearly feel the burning gaze from Jiang Jingci.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Jingci slowly said: "A while ago, I wanted to go to country F to see you more than once, but I still controlled this stupid and unpleasant idea."
She pretended not to hear and continued to circle and dot on the thick design drawings with a pen.
"Every day, I quietly count the days until you come back--" Jiang Jingci didn't feel ignored at all. He was talking excitedly when he was interrupted by a call from Wen Lan's cell phone.
Wen Lan saw that it was Shen Yi. She didn't want to answer the call, but in order to avoid the awkward atmosphere in the room at this time, she still pressed the answer button.
"I went back to Jiangcheng last night. When I was packing up my mother's belongings, I found the jade bracelet she mentioned in her suicide note to leave for you." Shen Yi was disappointed, "I'm in the rest area on the first floor of TT, can you come out for a while?"
