Chapter 554 Fourteen Years Old
Xie Beiheng wanted to say a few more words to Jiang Jingci, but when he saw Wen Lan's face had darkened, he took the car keys and went to the parking lot.
Jiang Jingci's eyes looking at Wen Lan were still as hot as before, and Wen Lan's expression was terrifyingly cold.
"It's been nearly three years since we last met." Jiang Jingci stared at her with melancholy, "Beiheng has grown up and is as tall as me."
"Jiang Jingci, your son has hurt Nuannuan." Wen Lan stopped and spoke to Jiang Jingci purely for Nuannuan.
Jiang Jingci's guilt towards Nuannuan was instantly shattered by Wen Lan's harsh criticism.
Even though he didn't approve of his son's behavior, he still confronted Wen Lan for the sake of face, "Nuan Nuan was an adult when she was dating Jiang Guan, and adults should always be responsible for their choices."
"Is Nuan Nuan's adulthood the same as Jiang Guan's adulthood?!" Wen Lan looked at Jiang Jingci resentfully, "Your son is fourteen years older than Nuan Nuan!"
The three words "fourteen years old" were like a sharp knife, stabbing Jiang Jingci's heart squarely, once again opening the old scar.
After all, the biggest obstacle between him and Wen Lan is the fourteen-year age difference!
He thought that if he had met Wen Lan before Xie Yansheng, the two would not be like this now.
"Even if there is a fourteen-year age difference, your daughter is devoted to Jiang Guan!" Jiang Jingci's eyebrows were filled with anger and sarcasm, "Believe it or not, if Jiang Guan is willing, they will even have a child."
"Jiang Jingci, your son is as shameless as you!" Wen Lan's body trembled slightly, and his accusations were choked in his throat.
Among the three children, she and Xie Yansheng had given the most love and effort to Nuannuan because she had been lost and found again, but she didn't expect that Nuannuan was the one who hurt her the most.
Ever since Nuannuan broke up with her and Xie Yansheng for Jiang Guan, she would suffer from insomnia every night, often sitting alone on the balcony of the bedroom, flipping through the photos and videos of Nuannuan when she was a child.
The so-called deep love, deep hatred, this is what it means.
Now Nuannuan has paid the price for her original choice, and it is not so important who is right and wrong between her and Jiang Guan.
Wen Lan suppressed all her emotions and walked past Jiang Jingci quickly.
"Wen Lan." Jiang Jingci called her name loudly.
She slowed down her pace, but did not stop.
"The truth is not what you think! Jiang Guan may have been the first to break up with Nuan Nuan, but Jiang Guan's life was not easy after the breakup. He asked Nuan Nuan to get back together more than once, but was rejected by Nuan Nuan."
Wen Lan was stunned by Jiang Jingci's words, and then sneered, "Will your son ask Nuan Nuan to get back together? Don't be ridiculous, he deliberately approached Nuan Nuan to get revenge on me!"
"Jiang Guan and I moved back to Jiangcheng from Australia half a year ago." Jiang Jingci approached her.
She was a little surprised.
She seldom went back to Jiangcheng in recent years, and she heard many things about it from Zhou Qiao. Zhou Qiao didn't mention that Jiang Jingci and his son returned to China to settle down, and she didn't know either.
"Jiang Guan went to Australia in the third year of junior high school and has long been accustomed to life in Australia. He gave up his career and returned to China for Nuannuan."
Jiang Jingci's words were met with a cold laugh from Wen Lan, "Nuannuan has paid the price for her youthful ignorance. Doesn't Jiang Guan think she is miserable enough and wants to deceive her again?!"
"We outsiders can't guess about emotional matters. Let the children solve their own problems." Jiang Jingci looked at Wen Lan with a meaningful look, "In fact, I also have selfish motives. I hope Nuannuan can accept Jiang Guan again this time."
"Don't even think about this kind of daydream!" Wen Lan went to the parking lot with a stern face.
Over the years, she and Nuannuan have lost contact. Most of the news about Nuannuan comes from the children. She knows nothing about the love-hate relationship between Nuannuan and Jiang Guan.
She repeatedly recalled what Jiang Jingci had just said. It didn't seem like a lie.
She really wanted to know what happened between Nuannuan and Jiang Guan?
Wen Lan returned to the car. Xie Beiheng was talking on the phone with a smile on his face. When he saw her get in the car, he immediately ended the call.
When Wen Lan started the engine, Xie Beiheng asked curiously, "Did my dad and Jiang Jingci have any disputes in the business world before?"
"It's better not to mention the old things."
Wen Lan tried to pass it over lightly, but Xie Beiheng was still on the verge of "seeking death", "Nan Chen and I met Jiang Jingci several times during the month in Australia, and every time he asked about you and my dad. To be precise, his focus is on you."
"Shut up!" Wen Lan immediately turned his face and scolded, "If you say one more word, go back to country Y!"
Xie Beiheng was so scared that he chose to keep silent.
Wen Lan drove with a stern face. When he was about to arrive at Tinglan Mansion, he glanced at Xie Beiheng who was looking down at his phone beside him, "I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins."
"I don't even know when I committed a crime." Xie Beiheng murmured softly.
Wen Lan: "Your father still remembers the account of you not going home when you passed by Shangjing yesterday."
Xie Beiheng took a breath helplessly: "Tell me, what do I need to do to redeem my 'sins'."
"Help me find out what happened between Nuannuan and Jiang Guan in recent years." Wen Lan couldn't help but twist her eyebrows together whenever she mentioned these two names.
"Do I need to find out? Jiang Guan got back together with his ex-girlfriend and dumped my sister." Xie Beiheng shook his head disdainfully, "Is there any twist in this?"
"Jiang Jingci said that Jiang Guan regretted the breakup and gave up his career in Australia and returned to Jiangcheng half a year ago. He has always wanted to get back together with Nuannuan." Wen Lan was full of melancholy.
"Don't worry while I do the work." Xie Beiheng smiled and snapped his fingers, "I will get to the bottom of it for you today."
"How are you and Teacher Nan?" Wen Lan asked casually.
She didn't think highly of Xie Beiheng from the bottom of her heart.
Because Nan Chuji left a good impression on her, she didn't want Nan Chuji to be harmed at all.
"It's like glue." Xie Beiheng blurted out, "Try to bring her home during the Chinese New Year."
Wen Lan didn't answer again.
Back at Tinglan Mansion, Xie Beiheng only saw Xie Nanchen. Wen Lan told them a few words and then went to the feast.
Xie Beiheng and Xie Nanchen had endless topics to talk about when they met. They talked about their respective studies to their future career plans.
In the evening, Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng turned down the outside entertainment and returned home early to prepare for a reunion dinner as a family of four.
But the nanny told them that Xie Beiheng and Xie Nanchen went out to have dinner with friends.
Xie Yansheng looked at the empty house and complained angrily: "I ran away without even seeing my face! In their eyes, I am just a cash machine, not even as good as their friends!"
Wen Lan's eyes fell on the white dining table in the dining room. He remembered the scene where the family of five sat together to eat and chat, and felt extremely sad.
