Chapter 517 Envy
Wen Lan felt that as long as he came to Jiangcheng once, Jiang Jingci would be able to penetrate everywhere.
When Zhou Qiao ordered a meal, there were no private rooms available. The two of them chose seats by the window in the public dining area. To Wen Lan's disgust, Jiang Jingci and Song Yun actually sat diagonally across from them.
Although there are partitions between tables, as long as you are careful, you can see the diners at the nearest table and hear the conversations between them.
Wen Lan's seat happened to be opposite Jiang Jingci's, and both of them could see it no matter who looked up.
Even if she didn't raise her eyes, she could still feel Jiang Jing's meaningful gaze in farewell.
She changed seats with Zhou Qiao.
"What a coincidence. We met Lao Jiang on our first blind date when he returned to China." Zhou Qiao chuckled while looking at his phone.
Wen Lan lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know that person is his blind date?"
"Lao Jiang just sent me a WeChat message——" Zhou Qiao's voice was very low as he put the bright mobile phone screen under Wen Lan's eyes.
Wen Lan immediately pushed the phone back to Zhou Qiao, "Don't look at it."
"Lao Jiang also asked me how I feel about Professor Song. How should I answer?" Zhou Qiao picked up the phone and encountered a difficulty when preparing to reply.
"Gentle and virtuous, IKEA is suitable for a room." Wen Lan blurted out.
I don't know why, even though Jiang Jingci has settled in Australia, Wen Lan still feels uneasy.
Maybe when Jiang Jingci gets married again, she can face the past calmly.
"I have had two marriages. The first one lasted three and a half years, you should have heard about it. The second one only lasted for more than a month. Although it was short-lived, I have not yet come out of the second marriage." Jiang Jingci The profound voice reached Wen Lan's ears clearly.
Wen Lan heard it harshly.
If she hadn't heard this, she would have forgotten that she had ever been married to Jiang Jingci.
"It's all the old things from the past life, and I still have to talk about it!" Zhou Qiao glanced in the direction of Jiang Jingci and curled his lips, "I don't know if I said this to the person I just met on a blind date because of Lao Jiang's low EQ or on purpose. ”
Wen Lan pretended to be calm and took his time picking up the pasta on the plate and eating it.
"Mr. Jiang seems to be a long-term lover at first glance, but he has never met a woman who can live a peaceful life." Song Yun's gentle voice brought a smile.
Wen Lan's self-esteem was instantly hit hard.
Song Yun said she was a restless woman, was she?
"The falling flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is ruthless. I will no longer insist on what is not my own." Jiang Jingci deliberately raised his voice a few degrees.
Then came Song Yun's tender murmur, but Wen Lan didn't catch what exactly he said.
Wen Lan had no appetite at all. Before the meal he ordered was served, he said he was full and walked out of the restaurant to the parking lot.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Qiao chased me down with a packed lunch box, "I know you're not full, so go back to TT and continue eating."
On the way back to TT, Wen Lan asked Zhou Qiao with a smile: "Professor Song said that I am a restless woman, am I?"
"Don't you see that the woman named Song is licking Jiang Jingci?" Zhou Qiao looked disdainful. "If you want to leave a good impression on Jiang Jingci, you will naturally have to step on you as much as possible."
"That's right." Wen Lan adjusted his sitting position to a comfortable position, "With Jiang Jingci's financial resources, there are a few women who are not jealous."
"Just wait and see, there's no chance for the one named Song." Zhou Qiao said with amusement on her lips, "I tell you, Lao Jiang brought her out just to gain a sense of presence in front of you."
"I hate Jiang Jingci, but I still hope he can find a woman to marry as soon as possible." Wen Lan said sincerely.
"After all, apart from the matter of switching the package of Nuan Nuan, you still feel guilty towards him." Zhou Qiao didn't know that Jiang Jingci had violated Wen Lan, and said angrily, "You set fire to Jiang's house and cut off Jiang Jingci with porcelain pieces. neck, he let you go in the end."
"The grudge between Jiang Jingci and me cannot be explained in a few words." Wen Lan closed his eyes and pressed his forehead.
What Wen Lan didn't expect was that after Xie Yansheng returned to his old house with his three children, the relationship between Xie Yansheng and Mr. Xie began to break through.
At first, Mr. Xie went to Beijing once a month. After arriving at Tinglan Mansion, he didn't stay long and talked to the children for an hour before leaving.
Wen Lan was very resistant to Mr. Xie's visit, but he had to endure it for the sake of Xie Banquet.
As long as Mr. Xie comes to Tinglan Mansion, she will hide out.
At the end of the year, Mr. Xie came to Beijing more frequently. During the Chinese New Year, Xie Yansheng took his three children to his old house.
Wen Lan had a shadow in his heart and stayed in Yunshen City.
In the past six months, Shen Yi fought two lawsuits with Xie Jianning in order to fight for Xiaotong's custody rights, which ended in Xie Jianning's victory.
During the first trial, Shen Yi entrusted Jiang Jingci to find Qiu Ping as his attorney. Xie Jianning was afraid of losing the lawsuit, so she brought Xiaotong to Tinglan Mansion to ask Xie Yansheng for help.
Xie Yansheng didn't want to be troublesome and rejected Jian Ning twice in succession. Wen Lan couldn't bear it anymore and asked Xie Yansheng to help Jian Ning. Only then did Xie Yansheng come forward and ask Yang Hui'an to be Jian Ning's wife. Attorney.
The two lawsuits, from the beginning to the final verdict, made Xie Jianning more determined to take care of Xiaotong.
In her fifth year of living in Beijing, Wen Lan received great news——
Zhou Qiao married Zhuang Xiubai!
Because he and Zhou Qiao rarely met, Wen Lan didn't know how Zhuang Xiubai caught up with Zhou Qiao.
When chatting on the phone, every time Wen Lan asked Zhou Qiao this question, Zhou Qiao would either keep silent or change the subject.
On the day of Zhou Qiao's wedding, Wen Lan took Nuan Nuan back to Jiangcheng, and Nuan Nuan became the flower girl.
Before the wedding banquet, Zhou Qiao didn't want to let others interfere with her dress change, so she called Wen Lan into the dressing room. Wen Lan found that Zhou Qiao's belly was slightly bulging.
"So you got on the bus first and bought the ticket later." Wen Lan was sincerely happy and relieved for Zhuang Xiubai.
"It was purely an accident." Zhou Qiao's hand fell on her belly and gently stroked it. "I married Zhuang Xiubai just to give him a home."
"Dr. Zhuang has waited for you for so many years. This is chilling!" Wen Lan said as she tied the straps on the back of her dress for her.
"Zhuang Xiubai has nothing to say about me, but Zhao Huan always ranks first in my heart." Zhou Qiao smiled with melancholy, "Jiang Jingci is still alone and has waited for you for many years. Don't you have no feelings for him?"
When Wen Lan heard the name "Jiang Jingci", a layer of sullenness immediately appeared on her face.
Since the meeting in the western restaurant four years ago, she has never seen Jiang Jingci again.
I thought I would hear the news of Jiang Jingci and Song Yun getting married, but Zhou Qiao accidentally revealed that they broke up after dating for less than two months.
If Jiang Jingci didn't get married, she would feel uneasy.
Seeing her fall into silence, Zhou Qiao said again: "I didn't think highly of Xie Yansheng at the beginning, and always hoped that Jiang Jingci could become your good man. But you and Xie Yansheng still went through many twists and turns and finally got married. God has treated you well. Lanlan, you have both love and three lovely children. I envy you from the bottom of my heart."
"Don't envy me, because what Xie Yansheng can give me, Dr. Zhuang can also give you." Wen Lan comforted softly.
