Chapter 413 Withdrawal of the lawsuit
The moment Wen Lan heard Jiang Jingci asking her to withdraw the lawsuit, she suddenly felt short of breath.
She originally thought that Jiang Jingci would only threaten her by not letting the two of them meet by sending Yangyang abroad, but she still underestimated Jiang Jingci's ruthlessness.
"Withdraw the case or go to trial, the final decision is in your hands. I will not force you." Jiang Jingci's tone was full of propriety.
Wen Lan's hopes that were raised when she heard Shen Yi recommend lawyer Yang Hui'an were shattered in an instant.
Yangyang was still in Jiang Jingci's hands. Although Jiang Jingci had a calm attitude, what he just said was tantamount to showing off his cards to her.
"Jiang Jingci, what if I don't withdraw the lawsuit?" She still didn't want to compromise and asked in a choked voice.
"Stop being so harsh," Jiang Jingci mocked, "Because I don't believe you will be so cruel to Yangyang. If even a mother is willing to give up her biological daughter, then no matter what I, the adoptive father, do, it is natural."
None of Jiang Jingci's words was harsh, but it broke Wen Lan's heart.
"You are threatening me with Yangyang's personal safety." She murmured desperately.
"I never threaten anyone, and I can't be so cruel to you." Jiang Jingci said sanctimoniously, "I still have something to do, so let's not talk about it for now."
"Jiang Jingci!" Wen Lan cried out his name, "I will withdraw the complaint immediately. Please let me see Yangyang, please?"
"If you withdraw the lawsuit, I will arrange for Yangyang to go to a hospital with good medical conditions. But you can't meet for the time being unless-"
Jiang Jingci was deliberately stunned.
Wen Lan was extremely anxious: "Unless what?"
"Unless you give birth to a child for me." Jiang Jingci suddenly laughed at himself, "This seems impossible, just think that I am just dreaming."
A busy signal to end the call came to Wen Lan's ears, and her heart sank into the abyss of hopelessness again.
When her phone rang, she glanced and it was Shen Yi.
Shen Yi brought good news, saying that lawyer Yang Hui'an had agreed to take over her divorce case and would interview her tomorrow morning. She must arrive in Beijing before eight o'clock tomorrow.
She was silent for a moment.
"Is there a problem?" Shen Yi felt that her mood was different from when she made the first phone call.
She prevaricated: "Thank you, I just had the idea of divorce in a flash of heat. Now I have calmed down and I am not planning to divorce."
Shen Yi was silent for a while and said slowly: "I respect all your decisions, Lanlan. Please tell me, what does Jiang Jingci think of you?"
"He is very good to me, but I am restless and have been initiating a divorce." She said in a bitter voice, "I still have a lot of work to do, so let's not talk about it for now."
She hung up the phone before Shen Yi could answer.
For the sake of Yangyang, she had to call Shao Heng to withdraw the lawsuit.
Soon, she called Jiang Jingci's phone number and told him that the lawsuit had been withdrawn. She wanted to know how Yangyang was doing now.
Jiang Jingci smiled and said, preparing to send Yangyang to the best local children's hospital.
She was relieved, but she still said in a pleading tone, "Jiang Jingci, I hope you will do what you say and don't let me down."
"In the past two days, the gossip about you and I getting divorced has been flying all over the place. In order to stop the troublemakers from talking, you should move back to Qiushuitai." Jiang Jingci's gentle tone contained a strength that could not be refused.
She immediately refused: "I have withdrawn the lawsuit, so don't force me anymore."
"That's fine. If you don't go back to Qiushuitai, I will move to Shuyuan Mansion. We are husband and wife anyway, so it is natural for us to live together. I will pack my luggage now. Remember to leave a set of keys for me." After Jiang Jingci said that, he hung up the phone. .
Wen Lan was so frightened that she immediately packed a few clothes and drove to the hospital.
Seeing Zhou Qiao in the special care ward, Wen Lan warned her again not to reveal her whereabouts to Jiang Jingci.
"Jiang Jingci is so shameless, I won't help him unless I'm crazy!" Zhou Qiao gave Wen Lan reassurance.
Wen Lan planned to stay with Zhou Qiao permanently, so he brought more than a dozen sets of clothes just to change them.
While packing her luggage, she chatted with Zhou Qiao. The two talked about TT's current business and their respective relationships and marriages.
While sighing, Zhou Qiao thought of Li Daxian in the suburban town and said that he would visit him after his leg was healed. This time he would definitely listen to his advice carefully.
"Li Daxian has passed away. I haven't seen him since I went there a while ago." Wen Lan told Zhou Qiao the bad news with a disappointed look on his face.
Zhou Qiao shook his head: "It turns out that great immortals who can channel spirits will also experience birth, old age, illness and death."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
Wen Lan hurriedly opened the door, and a young nurse stood at the door with a smile, "Please tell Miss Zhou that Mr. Wen has been waiting in the lounge for two hours -"
"If you don't see me, you won't see me!" Zhou Qiao shouted impatiently.
The little nurse was bored and left angrily.
Wen Lan closed the door and was inexplicably worried for Zhou Qiao, "Wen Jinyin has a wife and children, and he still comes to you to show his courtesy. You should be more careful in the future to avoid being slandered by others."
"I have rejected him 800 times. He has been silent for a year. Now he is just trying to tease me because Zhao Huan is gone." Zhou raised his eyebrows with disdain in his eyes, "Even if all men in the world die, I will not I won’t look at Wen Jinyin twice.”
"I feel like Wen Jinyin is really interested in you and is more difficult to deal with than Jiang Jingci." As Wen Lan was talking, there was another knock on the door.
"No matter who it is, I won't see it. Just say that I fell asleep after taking the medicine." Zhou Qiao closed the partition curtain.
Wen Lan opened the door again, and Wen Jinyin in a suit and leather shoes was standing at the door, holding two boxes of foreign brand bird's nests in his hands.
Wen Jinyin was the first to speak, "I'm here to visit Zhou Qiao."
"Does Du Yan know that you are here?" Wen Lan did not save any face for him, and had no intention of letting him in.
Wen Jinyin frowned slightly, "Lanlan, don't make it difficult for me, I will just take a look at Zhou Qiao and leave."
"Sorry, Zhou Qiao just took the medicine and went to bed, and she doesn't see anyone at this time." Wen Lan put his right arm on the door, very tough.
Wen Jinyin looked inside several times, but could only see the partition curtain, so he had to give up.
"Please tell Zhou Qiao to tell her that I miss her very much." Wen Jinyin put down the gift box in his hand and left reluctantly.
After Wen Lan closed the door and locked it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I feel upset when I see Wen Jinyin's things, help me throw them out!" Zhou Qiao said gritting his teeth.
Wen Lan didn't want Zhou Qiao to be upset, so he hurriedly picked up two boxes of bird's nests and walked out of the ward.
The garbage disposal point was at the easternmost end of the floor. Wen Lan had just thrown the bird's nest in when she saw several people pushing a stretcher out of the elevator room dedicated to surgery and heading straight for the operating room.
When passing by, Wen Lan saw a familiar face on the stretcher -
Mother Xie!
The door of the operating room closed quickly, accompanied by two nannies from the Xie family, who were already waiting at the door.
Wen Lan was about to return to the ward when a familiar sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Fast and steady, light and powerful, who else could it be but Xie Yansheng?
