Chapter 262 Illusion
The two of them sat down at the dining table face to face soon.
In fact, Wen Lan had no appetite at all.
But in order to take care of Jiang Jingci's mood, she still bit the bullet and picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat.
"Don't force yourself if you can't eat." Jiang Jingci said slowly.
"Such delicious food is much better than takeout." She forced a dry smile, "You are a grown man, and your cooking skills are better than mine in seconds."
"Practice makes perfect. The more you cook, the more experience you will have."
Jiang Jingci realized that there was another meaning hidden in this sentence after he finished speaking, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Jiang Guan is a kid who takes revenge and never knows how to hide his inner thoughts. He was too impulsive just now."
"Don't blame Jiang Guan today." Wen Lan picked up a spoon and served Jiang Jingci a bowl of seafood porridge, "I should say sorry, it's me who caused you trouble."
Jiang Jingci's eyes were deep, staring at her: "You know, I'm never afraid of trouble for you."
"Eat slowly, I'll go outside to take a breath." Wen Lan walked out of the living room and went to the yard.
Jiang Jingci's eyes fell from Wen Lan's slender back to his right hand wrapped in gauze, and he smiled coldly.
When Wen Lan's footsteps faded away, he found an unmarked number on his phone and dialed it.
Soon, An Zhen's voice came from inside, not knowing the truth: "Mr. Jiang, has the jade Buddha I ordered arrived?"
"Mrs. Xie." Jiang Jingci's voice was deep, "You should try your best to manage your husband."
"What do you mean? Don't beat around the bush with me, just say it directly!" An Zhen on the other end immediately became extremely cautious.
"Don't let Mr. Xie pester Wen Lan anymore." Jiang Jingci stopped talking and didn't say anything else.
"When did it happen?" An Zhen's voice revealed the anger of wanting to manage but not daring to.
"I have said what I should say, Mrs. Xie should pay more attention in the future." Jiang Jingci ended the call.
Now Wen Lan's attitude towards him is unclear. If he directly breaks up with Xie Yansheng, he feels very cheap. He can only use An Zhen to control Xie Yansheng!
Wen Lan walked out of the living room a few minutes later and called Xie Yansheng.
Xie Yansheng didn't answer for three times in a row.
The fourth time, Xie Yansheng's cold voice came from the phone: "Why are you calling me when you are not with your Mr. Jiang?"
Wen Lan took a deep breath, "Xie Yansheng, I have nothing to do with you now. You come to me every now and then to show your presence. Is it interesting?"
"You forget the old one when you have a new love?" Xie Yansheng laughed faintly, "Jiang Jingci was burned, you are really nervous! Why didn't you get so nervous about me when you were Mrs. Xie?"
"I'm talking to you about the matter, why are you talking about the past?" Wen Lan said, "Listen to me, from now on, don't come to me to disgust me!"
"I can't see you every day, my heart is in chaos-" Xie Yansheng suddenly said something very frivolous in a serious tone.
"Don't! You should think about your wife Xie!" Wen Lan knew that if she continued to argue, he would only become more and more irresponsible, so she simply ended the call.
She stood in the courtyard of the Jiang family and looked at the empty courtyard next door.
Withered weeds, closed doors, dilapidated everywhere, without any vitality.
This used to be the private residence of Shen Yi's father. I heard from Shen Yi that it had changed hands a few years ago. I really don't know which big boss took it into his pocket?
The two villas are separated by only a wall. The courtyard of the Jiang family is neat and tidy. A winter jasmine tree is green and bright, showing the stability of the male owner everywhere.
She took a few deep breaths before returning to the living room.
Seeing Jiang Jingci cleaning the table with his left hand, she hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and walked over, "I'll wash the dishes, you go and rest for a while."
"Don't do it, just use the dishwasher." Jiang Jingci couldn't bear to tire her out, so he suggested.
She put all the dishes in the sink, "It won't take much time, let me wash it!"
Jiang Jingci retreated to the dining room and watched her busy figure.
Her slightly curly long hair was loosely tied behind her head. The originally loose dress was tied with an apron, which made her already exquisite figure even more attractive.
Soon, a pile of clean dishes were neatly stacked on the countertop of the cabinet by Wen Lan.
Jiang Jingci looked at her silently, and he had an illusion in his heart-
There was a hostess in the house.
This illusion entangled in his heart. Although he knew it was an illusion, it still made him happy and crazy.
Wen Lan had long felt Jiang Jingci's gaze fixed on her. To avoid embarrassment, she untied her apron and deliberately made small talk. "I forgot to ask you, has the wound corroded by hydrochloric acid healed?"
"Healed." Jiang Jingci said as he hurriedly picked up the teapot to make tea. "I have fruit tea here, which replenishes qi and calms the mind. Take two boxes with you when you leave."
"Okay." Out of guilt, Wen Lan did not contradict Jiang Jingci this time and asked again: "Do you have any scars on your back?"
"Maybe." Jiang Jingci turned on the power of the teapot and looked indifferent. "I'm a man, I don't care about this."
He said it lightly, but Wen Lan felt upset.
After all, she was the culprit for any scars on his back and right hand!
The more she wanted to draw a clear line between her and Jiang Jingci, the more things went against her wishes.
One mistake after another tied the two of them tighter and tighter.
Li Daxian once said that the partial official in her fate will become stronger and stronger in recent years. I guess it must be Mr. Jiang in front of her?
She laughed bitterly.
"What funny topic are you thinking of? Can you share it?" Jiang Jingci was afraid of a dull moment, so he asked while taking a teacup from the sideboard.
She put away her smile, "I didn't think of anything, I just wanted to laugh for no reason."
Jiang Jingci suddenly remembered something, "I did lose the jade bracelet a few days ago, I'm really sorry."
"That was the relic left to me by Mother Shen." Wen Lan did not hide it from him, and said helplessly, "It's broken, it's broken, broken and safe."
"Over the years, I have saved a few jade bracelets with good water head. I wanted to compensate you with one, but compared with Mother Shen's relic, it will definitely not be in your eyes."
Jiang Jingci seemed to have a smile on his lips, but there was also a thorn in his voice.
Wen Lan deliberately looked at her watch and frowned, "There are still a lot of orders waiting for me in the afternoon. I have to go back to TT. Remember to apply the medicine on time."M.
"The fruit tea is ready, so it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. Drink it before leaving." Jiang Jingci hurriedly tried to keep her.
Wen Lan gritted her teeth and picked up the boiling kettle, first filling the teacup for Jiang Jingci and then for herself.
Jiang Jingci picked up the teacup and smiled before he spoke, "I heard that the lawsuit you filed against Mrs. Xie is about to be tried in the second instance. Have you found a reliable lawyer?"
"There are too many things to do recently, and I still use the lawyer from the first instance." She sighed melancholy.
During the first instance, she was studying in country F, and when she came back, Ji Minxin passed away. How could she be in the mood to work hard on finding a lawyer!
"I have a lawyer friend in Beijing who has a high winning rate since he started working. If you need him, you can consider it." Jiang Jingci took out a business card from the drawer and handed it over.
