Chapter 331 Impermanence
Being busy is the best cure for pain.
After the Chinese New Year, work became busier and busier, and Wen Lan temporarily let go of her obsession with Nuan Nuan.
Every Saturday night in the first month, she would start a WeChat video with Jiang Guan to see Yang Yang.
In the second month, she changed the frequency of seeing Yang Yang to once every half a month.
Every time she saw Yang Yang in the video, Jiang Jingci would appear on the screen and told her in a casual tone to eat on time and not stay up late.
She only said "um" and "oh", and didn't say a word to Jiang Jingci.
Wen Lan made a few small clothes for Yang Yang according to her size and sent them back to Jiangcheng.
In the past two months, Wen Lan only kept in touch with Xie Yansheng by phone, and did not meet. She put all her energy into the exploration and maintenance of high-quality customers, and the performance of tt studio was very impressive.
Zhou Qiao already had the idea of holding a clothing debut in Lincheng next month.
But a sudden accident completely disrupted the career plans of Wen Lan and Zhou Qiao.
When Wen Lan received a call from Zhou Qiao's mother, she was busy promoting a new dress to a new customer.
Zhou Qiao's mother cried and told Wen Lan that two hours ago, Zhao Huan drove Zhou Qiao and had a car accident. Zhao Huan died on the spot and Zhou Qiao was admitted to the ICU!
"Auntie, don't lie to me!" Hearing this, Wen Lan's dress fell to the ground, and her hand holding the phone trembled.
"How could Auntie lie to you about such a big thing!" Zhou's mother said heartbrokenly, "Qiaoqiao injured her right leg, but she is still conscious. Wen Lan, you also know that Qiaoqiao and Zhao Huan are as close as one person. I'm afraid Qiaoqiao can't stand knowing about Zhao Huan-"
"I'll go back to Jiangcheng right away, Auntie, which hospital is Qiaoqiao in?" Wen Lan said, leaving the customer behind and going upstairs as fast as possible.
Halfway through packing her luggage, she remembered to book a flight, but after checking the booking software, the earliest flight was five hours later.
I checked the high-speed rail again, and the earliest one would have to wait until tomorrow morning.
She was so anxious that she decided to book a flight five hours later.
Before leaving TT, Wen Lan handed over all the work on hand to Xiao Li and hurried out of the pedestrian street.
The studio car was driven by a colleague to deliver clothes to a client, so she could only take a car to the airport.
While waiting for a ride on the side of the road, a rapid whistle sounded behind her.
Wen Lan turned around and saw Jiang Jingci sitting in the co-pilot of a black SUV!
The moment Jiang Jingci saw her, he was also surprised and hurriedly got out of the car.
When their eyes met, she had no desire to say hello.
Haha, it's fate to meet in Lincheng!
"Where are you going? I can ask the driver to take you there." Jiang Jingci glanced at her suitcase and guessed that she was going back to Jiangcheng, but he didn't say it.
Her attention was on the taxis going back and forth. "I'm going to the airport, so I won't bother Mr. Jiang."
"I came to Lincheng yesterday, just finished my business, and am about to go back to Jiangcheng. If you're in a hurry, take my car." Jiang Jingci opened the door of the back seat without waiting for her response.
These words immediately hit Wen Lan's heart.
Her flight was still four and a half hours away from departure. If she took a private car back to Jiangcheng, three hours would be enough.
"Qiaoqiao was in trouble, and I'm in a hurry to go back to Jiangcheng." She no longer had the disdain she had when talking to Jiang Jingci in the past. "The flight will take more than four hours to wait. If it's convenient, I'll take Mr. Jiang's car back to Jiangcheng."
"Don't say polite words anymore, get in the car, I just heard that Zhou Qiao was in trouble." Jiang Jingci's eyes were fixed on her.
The driver had come down from the front, opened the trunk, and took the initiative to help Wen Lan put the suitcase in.
Wen Lan sat in the back seat, and Jiang Jingci still sat in the front passenger seat.
Outside is the most prosperous commercial downtown in Lincheng, and the car is not driving very fast.
Wen Lan just processed the ticket refund on her mobile phone, and Xie Yansheng's second number called.
She didn't want Jiang Jingci to see the clues, so she clicked on the rejection and quickly sent a text message: I'm busy, I'll call you later.
Xie Yansheng replied with a "OK" in seconds.
"When did you know that Zhou Qiao was in trouble?" Jiang Jingci took the initiative to break the silence and handed her a bottle of unopened purified water.
"Half an hour ago." She covered her heart with one hand, her eyes full of unbelievable sorrow, "Mother Zhou said that Zhao Huan has already-"
"I heard the same news as you." Jiang Jingci had turned around and looked forward, sighing helplessly, "The two of them were on the highway on their way back to Zhao Huan's hometown. A truck on the opposite lane suddenly lost control, broke through the partition and collided with them. I also heard that the truck was heading towards Zhou Qiao, but in a hurry, Zhao Huan turned the direction sharply and used his side to catch the impact of the truck, so Zhou Qiao was able to save his life."
Wen Lan felt palpitations and trembled "Oh".
In her eyes, although Zhou Qiao and Zhao Huan's family conditions were quite different, the two of them walked into marriage from campus, and they were an enviable couple.
Last night, she and Zhou Qiao talked on the phone for a long time, and Zhou Qiao said that she would start preparing for pregnancy after finishing the first fashion show in Lincheng. Today, Zhou Qiao and Zhao Huan were injured and one died. This is what the world says about the impermanence of things!
Wen Lan suddenly thought of the immortal Li from the small mountain village.
When Li heard Zhou Qiao's birth date, he said that Zhou Qiao was destined to be a widow and that it would come true within three years.
Zhou Qiao and Zhao Huan had been married for only two years, and Li's prediction actually came true!
Wen Lan used to be skeptical about such supernatural things, but now he suddenly believed them without a doubt.
This time when she returns to Jiangcheng, she must go to Li Daxian for advice.
"Although Zhou Qiao has saved her life, it will be difficult for her to get over it in a short time given her feelings for Zhao Huan." Jiang Jingci folded his hands and looked out the window.
Wen Lan's mind was in a state of confusion at this time, and she asked in a gloomy voice: "Old Jiang, do you believe in fate?"
"I believe it, but I don't believe it." Jiang Jingci said in a calm voice, "Some things are indeed destined by fate, but we can't completely accept it. Life is short. If you accept your fate without fighting for yourself, wouldn't it be too boring!"
She heard the hidden meaning of Jiang Jingci's words and chose to remain silent.
"If Zhou Qiao hadn't been in trouble, you wouldn't have planned to return to Jiangcheng, right?" Jiang Jingci asked.
Wen Lan: "I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to go back to Jiangcheng."
"My Yangyang can already sit up, and he likes to listen to nursery rhymes and Tang poetry." Jiang Jingci turned the topic to Yangyang, "He has grown a small baby tooth in the past few days."
Wen Lan instantly became interested, "Last time I video chatted with Jiang Guan, Yangyang could already turn over in bed."
"Turning over is nothing, Yangyang once called out 'Dad' indistinctly!" Jiang Jingci's eyebrows were full of joy, "I have set up a charity foundation in Yangyang's name, specializing in helping orphans without parents."
Wen Lan asked casually: "Yangyang is so cute, which welfare home in Shangjing is he from?"
