Chapter 317 Smart
That night, the two chatted until the early morning before going to bed.
They talked about the divorce and the division of the family property by Mr. Xie.
The old man has always been partial to the second wife, but since Xie Yu's son died, Jian Ning gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and Xie Yu and Bai Zhi's affair was caught by Xie Yu's wife, there has been a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days in Xue Cui Yuan in the past six months, and his heart has cooled on the second wife.
After An Zhen was confirmed to be pregnant with a boy in the fourth month, the shrewd old man held the listed company that should have been divided to Xie Yansheng in his hands, saying that he would wait until An Zhen gave birth to a son before making a decision.
Hearing this, Wen Lan looked disdainful at Xie Yansheng, "After all, you still can't bear to give up the family property. Isn't the money earned by 'Feast' enough for you to spend?"
"I didn't want to fight before, otherwise I wouldn't have created a 'Feast'. Since I was forced by the old man to marry An Zhen, I feel that if I don't fight with the second house, our marriage will be too bad."
Xie Yansheng took her hand and put it on his back, "In order to force me to divorce you, I was whipped by the old man a lot."
Wen Lan's palm gently stroked his uneven skin, and she was so distressed that she couldn't say a word.
"In order to make An Zhen and I get engaged smoothly, the old man put you under house arrest in the old house. You were able to leave smoothly that night. Do you know how many whips I got for you?" Xie Yansheng asked with a wry smile.
She was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. "It was Jiang Jingci who picked me up at that time."
"That's because Jiang Jingci didn't dare to break up with the old man, so he found me." Xie Yansheng looked at her with a deeper gaze, "Jiang Jingci completely grasped my mind and knew that I would save you no matter how much it cost."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" She asked anxiously, "Besides being whipped, what other deal did you make with the old man?"
"Marry An Zhen." Xie Yansheng smiled bitterly, "The old man is used to being cruel and ruthless. You sued my mother and completely angered him. If I didn't compromise, you would not have escaped from the old house unscathed that night when you were under house arrest."
Wen Lan's heart skipped a beat.
She remembered clearly that Uncle Zhong let her go after receiving a call, and when she walked out of the Xie family's old house, Jiang Jingci came to meet her.
She thought Jiang Jingci was the one who saved her from the Jiang family's house, so she thanked him, but Jiang Jingci only said "It's just a little effort" and said nothing more.
It turned out that the man who helped her escape that time was the man she hated and didn't want to see the most at that time - Xie Yansheng!
The two chatted leisurely, and Wen Lan learned about Xie Yansheng she didn't know.
Two years of marriage life didn't say as much as that night.
Perhaps because she promised Xie Yansheng that she would wait for half a year, Xie Yansheng spoke to her with a caution that he had never had before.
So Wen Lan had the illusion that the years were peaceful.
If they could talk calmly when they were Mrs. Xie, they wouldn't have to sleep secretly like now!
She didn't know when she fell asleep, she only remembered that Xie Yansheng kept talking in her ear until half a year later.
When she woke up the next day, Wen Lan found herself lying on Xie Yansheng naked. She wanted to turn over, but Xie Yansheng's arms held her very tightly.
As soon as she raised her upper body, Xie Yansheng pushed her back, "It's New Year's Eve today, sleep a little longer."
"You should go back." She ordered him to leave again, "After the New Year, you focus on solving your problems, and I will go back to Lincheng to run the studio. In the past six months, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we should not meet again."
The Xie family's old house has the habit of having dinner on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. She didn't want Xie Yansheng to be caught by Mr. Xie again.
"I will go back to the old house and the hospital later. It will take at most two hours to go back and forth." Xie Yansheng hugged her tightly in his arms and said softly, "You don't have to go to work these days, why don't we go to Beijing together?"
"What are you going to Beijing for?" She looked puzzled.
"Of course, we should avoid the acquaintances in Jiangcheng and live in our own world." Xie Yansheng paused, "It's not possible to go to Shangjing, there are many acquaintances there, so let's go to a smaller city. I think Meicheng is very good."
"An Zhen is in the hospital waiting to give birth. You want to live in our own world? Crazy!" She shook her head immediately, "I don't want to cause trouble for myself anymore. From now on, we should not meet again."
Even if An Zhen is not pregnant with Xie Yansheng's child, she still feels it is inappropriate.
"In the next six months, I have a lot of things to do, and I won't have many opportunities to meet you. Now An Zhen is about to give birth, so she doesn't have time to keep an eye on my whereabouts." Xie Yansheng's hand fell on her waist, gently twisting and rubbing, "We'll spend these days together, it's settled."
When Wen Lan heard him say that there would be few opportunities to meet after the New Year, she softened her heart and thought for a while, "Then let's go to Meicheng. In order to prevent Jiang Jingci from seeing any clues, we will drive there. Anyway, there is no rush to travel during the New Year. If you are tired, just stop and rest and take a look at the scenery on the road."
"I think so too." Xie Yansheng smiled deeply and touched her cheek, "This time, I plan to borrow a friend's car."
"You are smart!" She also touched Xie Yansheng's cheek.
After getting up, she went to lie on her side and looked, and found that there were only normal people entering and leaving the South Gate. The paparazzi who were holding "long guns and short cannons" yesterday were gone.
Today is New Year's Eve, she found a bag of quick-frozen dumplings from the refrigerator and cooked them for breakfast.
The two agreed on the time and place to meet in the afternoon at the dining table.
Meicheng is south of Jiangcheng. Wen Lan was afraid of causing further trouble, so he decided to meet in the southern mountainous area.
"I used to look for women outside without any hesitation, but you make me nervous like this." Xie Yansheng said, "Now we just need to avoid Jiang Jingci. Even if the old man and my mother know, they will help us keep it a secret, because they want to protect my reputation as a good husband in front of An Zhen and An Zhen's family."
The southern mountainous area is more than 30 kilometers away from the city. Today is New Year's Eve. She doesn't know if she can get a taxi smoothly in the afternoon, so she has to agree to meet Xie Yansheng in the city.
After Xie Yansheng left, Wen Lan began to pack her luggage.
Every time she left Jiangcheng, she would not be in a good mood, but this time she was more relaxed than ever before.
The reason should be that the misunderstandings between her and Xie Yansheng have been resolved, and there is hope for life and feelings!
Thinking of the upcoming trip to Meicheng, she was full of expectations.
This year, Jiangcheng lifted the ban on fireworks. The sound of firecrackers outside was one after another, and the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong.
She stood in front of the French window in the living room, wondering whether Xie Yansheng was in the Xie family's old house or in the hospital. But for some reason, Xie Yansheng thought of Yangyang.
There were firecrackers outside, was little Yangyang scared and crying?
Soon she thought this idea was funny, Jiang Jingci's daughter didn't need her to worry about it!
Suddenly, the phone rang.
She looked over and saw it was Jiang Jingci.
