Chapter 307 Jade Bracelet
Zhou Qiao's attitude of keeping Tao Ningwan at a distance made Wen Lan feel both grateful and guilty.
Because the sponsorship fee for tomorrow's show was not enough, Zhou Qiao was afraid that she would be caught in the middle and it would be difficult to do it, so she even refused Jiang Jingci's offer to pay for the sponsorship.
"Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry, it's all me who brought these messy people to you." Wen Lan looked at Zhou Qiao gratefully and sighed, "As long as I come to Jiangcheng, there will be more troubles and troubles."
"Don't think so! Even if I can't get a penny of sponsorship, my dad will support me!" Zhou Qiao smiled and patted Wen Lan's shoulder, "I am very satisfied that you can come back from Lincheng in advance to help me."
"That's all I can do." Wen Lan cheered up and squeezed out a weak smile, "You haven't had lunch yet, I'll go get your lunch box for you, and we can talk while we eat."
"I'll go to the director to confirm a few issues that need to be changed." Zhou Qiao said and went to the stands.
Wen Lan's cell phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, she didn't answer it.
But the other party soon sent a message: Miss Wen, I am Tao Ningwan, I am at the entrance of the hotel where you hold the show, let's meet.
Wen Lan almost had a heart attack!
She and Shen Yi had broken up a long time ago. In the past six months, let alone meeting, they had not even called each other. She couldn't think of any common topics with Tao Ningwan?
Tao Ningwan also guessed that she would not come to see her, and sent another message: If Miss Wen does not come out within ten minutes, I will go into the venue and chat with Miss Wen for a while.
Two minutes later, Wen Lan met Tao Ningwan in the cafe opposite the venue.
The first executor of Shangjing Tao.
There is both the strong and sharpness of a strong woman and the brightness of a mature woman in her eyebrows and eyes.
"What would Miss Wen like to drink? I'll order some." Tao Ningwan stood straight, and her sitting posture revealed the nobility and contempt of a celebrity.
Wen Lan, who was sitting opposite, obviously felt a sense of pressure and said in a calm voice: "There are still many things to do at the show, Miss Tao, just speak frankly."
"Since Miss Wen is a straightforward person, then I won't hide anything." Tao Ningwan had already looked Wen Lan up and down several times, and smiled perfunctorily, "Shen Yi said that Shen's mother once gave Miss Wen a jade bracelet that was passed down from generation to generation."
Wen Lan's heart "stomped" when she heard this.
"I came to see Miss Wen because I hope Miss Wen can return the jade bracelet to its original owner." Tao Ningwan's red lips curved beautifully, "Next month, Shen Yi and I will have a wedding, and I don't want the Shen family's things to be scattered outside."
Wen Lan thought of the jade bracelet that Jiang Jingci had just broken when she got it, and frowned, "Mother Shen did give me a bracelet. If it weren't for Mother Shen's will, I wouldn't want anything from the Shen family. Since Miss Tao said so, I will go home and return the bracelet to Miss Tao now."
"No hurry, just return it in two days." Tao Ningwan pretended to be generous.
"But, there is one thing that I must tell Miss Tao." Wen Lan paused, "I accidentally broke the bracelet. I have been busy for the past six months and have not had time to repair it."
The smile on Tao Ningwan's face froze, "I may not care what kind of family Shen Yi comes from, but the wedding is coming soon. Even if I don't get the blessing of his parents, the Shen family should at least give me something decent, right? I finally learned from Shen Yi that there is a jade bracelet, but you said it is broken. It's really depressing!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Tao, I accidentally dropped it when I first saw the jade bracelet." Wen Lan took Jiang Jingci's fault on himself.
"Even if it is broken, it is the only relic left by Mother Shen. There is no reason to leave it to you."
Since Wen Lan sat down, Tao Ningwan's eyes have been circling around Wen Lan.
Wen Lan was very uneasy when she was stared at, and hurriedly stood up, "I will go back and get the bracelet for Miss Tao."
"Then Miss Wen, thank you for your hard work." Tao Ningwan said politely, but there was a sense of rightness in her voice.
Wen Lan left the cafe without stopping.
Tao Ningwan took the black coffee she ordered and sipped it slowly. The bitter taste went down her throat, and her brows knitted together deeply.
She played with her phone with one hand, and suddenly she dialed Jiang Jingci's number on impulse.
The third time, Jiang Jingci's clear voice came from the phone, "I heard you came to Jiangcheng?"
"I came to accompany Shen Yi to worship Shen's mother, and I will return to Beijing tomorrow afternoon." Tao Ningwan said casually, "I just met Miss Wen."
"I told you more than once not to harass Wen Lan, but you just don't remember it." Jiang Jingci's voice was filled with a hint of anger, "You are getting married next month, don't you have any confidence in yourself?"
Tao Ningwan chuckled, "I'm just curious, what was the white moonlight that Shen Yi loved but couldn't get back then? After dealing with her twice, I found that Wen Lan was useless except for that face."
"Can you find a balance point quickly by belittling Wen Lan?" Jiang Jingci said slowly.
"You're feeling distressed so soon?" Tao Ningwan smiled and said, "Old Jiang, it's not enough to just be moved, you have to act quickly! I wish you could marry Wen Lan home tomorrow, so I won't have to worry about anything."
Jiang Jingci was silent for a moment.
"You've been staying in Jiangcheng to take care of the kids for the past two months, and you haven't come to Beijing. I've given all my working capital to Shen Yi's company, and I'm very tight on cash now. I want you to give me some quick investment projects to make money!" Tao Ningwan suddenly changed the subject.
"You should take it easy too. Just throwing money at a man won't necessarily keep his heart." Jiang Jingci's tone was very meaningful, "The eldest lady of the Xie family is a lesson for you."
"So what if she's the eldest daughter of the Xie family? Xie Yansheng ruined the Shen family. Shen Yi was with Xie Jianning for revenge. Xie Jianning, that idiot, thought that Shen Yi would come back after she gave birth to a child. She's dreaming!" Tao Ningwan snorted disdainfully.
Jiang Jingci laughed, "As expected of Tao Ningwan, she can even tolerate other women giving birth to children for their fiancés. She's much more generous than most people."
"You still have the nerve to criticize me. Aren't you still supporting Wen Lan and her ex-husband's daughter——"
"Shut up!" Tao Ningwan was interrupted by Jiang Jingci before she finished her words.
Tao Ningwan quickly turned the topic to investment, and Jiang Jingci shared several projects he was optimistic about recently.
The two were chatting enthusiastically when Wen Lan came back.
Tao Ningwan quickly said to Jiang Jingci, "Let's talk later," and ended the call.
When Wen Lan put the box containing the bracelet on the coffee table, Tao Ningwan immediately opened it and frowned, "It's broken, so what? It's the relic of my future mother-in-law after all."
"I've returned it to you. I have something else to do. I'm leaving now." Wen Lan stood up and looked at Tao Ningwan again, saying in a deep voice.
"Miss Tao and I have never met before, and I don't want to have any more encounters in the future. I hope Miss Tao won't try to meet me again."
