Chapter 272 Conditions
Wen Lan raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Jingci, "Let's start as friends. Don't push me too hard. Before the baby is born--"
Seeing her stunned, Jiang Jingci looked at her with a little more gentleness: "Tell me all your thoughts, so as to avoid unnecessary hidden dangers between us."
Wen Lan didn't expect Jiang Jingci to be so frank, and she mustered up the courage to look him in the face again, "Whether you are my boyfriend or husband, before the baby is born, don't have that kind of thought."
"What kind of thought?" Jiang Jingci raised his eyebrows.
"That kind of thought!" She was so anxious that her cheeks flushed.
Jiang Jingci suddenly realized this time and nodded, "Okay."
"My whole mind is on the child now. When I give birth to him, I and--"
"Xie Yansheng" was on the tip of her tongue, and she changed her address again, "The bad fate of the child's father will be truly over. At that time, I will completely break off all the past and start a new life with you."
"Wen Lan, I wrote down every word you said today." Jiang Jingci's deep eyes flashed with determination and persistence, "Before the child is born, I respect your body and every thought. After the child is born, I will give you the status you deserve, and you will fulfill your obligations."
"Okay." For some reason, her ending tone trembled.
Jiang Jingci personally opened the car door for her and took the initiative to extend his left hand.
She was stunned for a moment, but still put her hand in Jiang Jingci's hand.
The two walked into the porridge shop with their fingers intertwined.
The moment they entered the door, they passed by Xie Jianning who was coming out.
Xie Jianning looked lonely. After a brief eye contact with Wen Lan, she turned her attention elsewhere.
Wen Lan had no desire to greet her, and continued to chat quietly with Jiang Jingci.
Little did she know that less than two seconds after Xie Jianning passed them, she opened her phone and took a few photos of their backs holding hands.
And quickly sent it to Xie Yansheng.
Now, the division of the Xie family's property is imminent, and the first and second houses are fighting overtly and covertly.
Since Xie Yansheng married An Zhen, her pregnancy was known to Mr. Xie, and the momentum of the second house has been much weaker than before.
Xie Yansheng and Wen Lan's marriage has been in turmoil for the past two years. Outsiders thought that Wen Lan was not in Xie Yansheng's eyes, but she felt that Xie Yansheng cared about Wen Lan!
Now that the second house is suppressed by the first house, she doesn't want Xie Yansheng to live too comfortably.
She sent the photo of Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci holding hands, and she silently counted down in her heart.
But she stood until her legs were numb, and she didn't wait for Xie Yansheng's call.
Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci finally untied their knots, and had a simple dinner, which was very comfortable.
After coming out of the porridge shop, Wen Lan saw that the gauze on Jiang Jingci's right hand was oozing blood, and took the initiative to get into the driver's seat and start the engine.
Jiang Jingci sat in the co-pilot seat very naturally.
"Your hand needs to be cleaned and the dressing changed. I will take you to Qiushuitai first, and then take a taxi back to Lanshuiwan." She glanced at Jiang Jingci's right hand while driving.
"It's the back of the hand that is injured, which will not affect driving. Go back to Lanshuiwan first, and I will drive back to Qiushuitai alone." Jiang Jingci didn't want her to work too hard, and deliberately looked at his watch, "It's late, you still have to go to work tomorrow, so don't sing against me."
She had to turn around and drive the car to Lanshuiwan.
When waving goodbye to Jiang Jingci in the parking lot, Jiang Jingci asked her again: "You won't go back on what you said before dinner, will you?"
"I have no credibility in your eyes?" She asked back with a smile.
Jiang Jingci stared at her and shook his head embarrassedly: "I'm scared, I'm really scared. If you make trouble again, my life will be completely in your hands."
"I'm already trying, Lao Jiang." She looked guilty, "Just wait and see how I perform later."
"Okay, I'll trust you again." Jiang Jingci smiled at the corners of his lips, and his left hand couldn't help but touch her cheek.
But when he was still half a foot away from her face, he drooped down dejectedly.
After a full half minute, he murmured: "I'll wait for you."
She laughed out loud at Jiang Jingci's actions and turned to walk into the elevator.
Back to the apartment, Wen Lan received a WeChat message from Jiang Jingci before she finished taking a shower, saying that he had arrived at Qiushuitai.
She replied "OK".
Lying in bed that night, she had nightmares.
Ji Minxin chased her like a mummy, calling her "Lanlan" over and over again...
When she opened her eyes, she found that her underwear was soaked with cold sweat.
She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was 3:30 in the morning.
She turned on the desk lamp, got out of bed, poured herself a cup of boiling water and drank a few sips. The tension eased.
But, she was not sleepy at all.
She lay in bed again and sorted out her messy thoughts.
The lawsuit against Xie's mother will be heard in the second trial tomorrow, and she will go to the provincial capital to meet Qiu Ping tomorrow afternoon.
After the second trial, she plans to go to the cemetery in Meicheng to see Ji Minxin, and then put all her energy into work.
Before dawn, she booked a flight to the provincial capital that afternoon and packed her luggage.
She set the alarm and slept for more than an hour in bed.
On the way to TT, Jiang Jingci called.
His first sentence was: "You have no intention of going back on your word, right?"
"No." Wen Lan smiled, "Old Jiang, please have more confidence in yourself."
Jiang Jingci breathed a sigh of relief, "Old Qiu will arrive in the provincial capital at five o'clock this afternoon, we'd better get there before five o'clock."
"I booked a flight at 3pm." She realized something was wrong when she said this. "Sorry, Lao Jiang, I forgot about you!"
Jiang Jingci on the other end was silent for a while, and said patiently: "Then please leave a gap in your heart for me from now on."
"Don't do it again, Lao Jiang." She agreed with guilt.
"Since it's your first offense, this matter will be over." Jiang Jingci didn't get too entangled. "You are probably on your way to work now. I won't talk to you for now. Drive carefully."
She said "um" and took the initiative to end the call.
When she arrived at tt, before she opened the door of the studio, Zhou Qiao asked her to go upstairs and said that she had something important to tell her.
When she walked into Zhou Qiao's office, Zhou Qiao took out a document from her handbag and handed it to her, "Xie Zha Zha pestered me for nearly an hour last night and insisted that I give this to you."
Wen Lan took a rough look and found that it was an agreement for her to give up the second trial.
As long as she gave up the second trial now, she could get an eight-digit compensation. The signature at the bottom was Xie Yansheng's handwritten signature.
She looked at the long string of zeros on the agreement and laughed out loud.
When he was Mrs. Xie, Xie Yansheng spent a lot of money on women outside, giving them black cards at will, but he was never generous to her!
During the first trial, Xie Yansheng knew that her lawyer was not good enough and Xie's mother was sure to win, so she didn't even show up.
Now he heard that Qiu Ping represented her in the second trial, and was afraid that Xie's mother would lose the case and bear legal responsibility, so he thought of using money to settle her!
Haha, she really doesn't care about this money!
