Chapter 567: Beat Hard
In the past few years in Beijing, Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng's life and work are tied together.
During the day, they are busy at Shengyan, and at night they go out for social events or go home together.
It is said that couples lose their freshness after being together for a long time, but Wen Lan feels that when people reach middle age, love has long become an inseparable family relationship. They just need to support each other and raise their children well. Whether there is freshness or not is no longer important.
Xie Beiheng returned to Country Y, Xie Nanchen studied at Beijing University, and Nuannuan joined Shengyan and moved back to Tinglan Mansion. The three children are all moving forward along their own life trajectories.
Wen Lan likes this peaceful life very much, but Jiang Guan's appearance every now and then makes Wen Lan very angry.
Since moving back to Tinglan Mansion, Nuannuan has a very regular life. She drives a new energy car to work in the morning, eats in the company cafeteria at noon, and goes home as soon as she doesn't work overtime at night, locking herself in the bedroom to paint, and doesn't even have a dinner party with friends.
Wen Lan knows that she has not really come out of her last relationship, and she will enlighten her whenever she has the chance.
She always said, "I will never fall for the same man twice."
Jiang Guan did not appear in Tinglan Mansion again, but Wen Lan saw him in the parking lot of Shengyan Building.
The first time Wen Lan thought it was a chance encounter, Jiang Guan wanted to greet her but she avoided him coldly.
On the second day, they met again in the same place, and Wen Lan became alert.
Seeing that Jiang Guan was only two or three meters away from Nuannuan's car, Wen Lan's anger instantly erupted.
Jiang Guan had also seen her and politely called her "Auntie Lan".
"It's just you and me here now, you don't have to be hypocritical." Wen Lan said, "I saw you yesterday and I saw you again in the same place today, don't say it's a coincidence!"
"It's not a coincidence, I'm waiting for Nuannuan." Jiang Guan's voice was depressed.
Wen Lan said coldly, "You broke up with Nuannuan a long time ago, don't you think it's funny to wait for her again?"
"As long as I can win back Nuannuan's heart, dignity and face are not that important." Jiang Guan's eyebrows were full of bitterness.
"You've broken Nuannuan's heart a long time ago, stop dreaming." Wen Lan saw the shadow of Jiang Jingci in Jiang Guan's facial features, and was filled with anger and hatred. "Jiang Guan, please have some self-awareness and stop pestering Nuannuan!"
"I just hope Nuannuan will give me a chance to start over. If Nuannuan really can't forgive me, I will go back to Australia and never see her again for the rest of my life."
Jiang Guan's voice was filled with unprecedented humility.
"Give up as soon as possible!" Wen Lan gritted her teeth, "Not to mention the 14-year age difference between you and Nuan Nuan, just because you are Jiang Jingci's son, I will never recognize you!"
"As a junior, I don't want to comment on the right and wrong between you and Old Jiang. But I have to remind you that my father gave his heart to you back then." Jiang Guan tried hard to control his emotions, "He rejected all women for you and still lives a peaceful life."
"Jiang Guan, you hate me, and you took revenge on Nuan Nuan. You have already got what you wanted. As a mother, I beg you to stop pestering Nuan Nuan and give her a way out." Wen Lan suddenly changed her tone and begged.
Jiang Guan looked at Wen Lan with a serious expression, "I beg you too, don't stop me from showing my affection to Nuan Nuan. I did approach Nuan Nuan with the intention of revenge on you, but I never dreamed that I would fall in love with Nuan Nuan after I took the initiative to break up."
"Your motives towards Nuan Nuan were impure from the beginning. You didn't love Nuan Nuan, but made a choice after weighing the pros and cons!" Wen Lan retorted harshly, "Nuan Nuan is young and beautiful, she is in love, and easy to control. Her family background is many times better than your ex-girlfriend. You need the halo of Nuan Nuan and Xie Yansheng's daughter to make you look good!"
Jiang Guan instantly felt deeply humiliated. In the past, he would have fought back mercilessly, but since he found that his feelings for Nuan Nuan had changed from exploitation to love, he began to respect Nuan Nuan's family.
When he was a child, he thought it was fun to call Wen Lan "Sister Lan", but later he called her by her name after a quarrel, and now he calls her "Auntie Lan".
There is not only a gap between him and Nuan Nuan, but also Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng.
Only by making Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng change their attitude towards him, Nuan Nuan will have a chance to turn back.
So, facing the angry Wen Lan twice, he chose to endure.
But when he heard Wen Lan say that he was attracted by Nuan Nuan's family background, he was a little annoyed and tried his best to make his tone without any emotion.
"In recent years, Shengyan has developed rapidly, Xie Yansheng's net worth has skyrocketed, and Lao Jiang and I have developed well in Australia. You have three children in the Xie family, and even if you treat them equally, you have to give them three points of the family property. And there is only me in our Jiang family, so I don't have to use money, such external things, to measure women!"
Wen Lan's lips rose with a sneer, and his voice became a little colder: "Don't quibble for your dirty thoughts anymore. If I see you at Shengyan again next time, I will find someone to break your legs!"
"Please do as you please." Jiang Guan was fearless and continued to stand there.
Wen Lan did not tell Nuan Nuan about this meeting because she didn't want Nuan Nuan to hear anything about Jiang Guan.
Wen Lan still underestimated Jiang Guan's persistence. The next day after get off work, she saw Jiang Guan again at the place where Nuan Nuan parked.
Xie Yansheng was also there. He immediately got angry when he saw Jiang Guan. He called a few security guards with electric batons and asked them to drive Jiang Guan out of Shengyan Building.
The security guards were holding Shengyan's rice bowls, so they were naturally eager to show their loyalty to Xie Yansheng and shouted at Jiang Guan. Jiang Guan's attitude was not good either, and soon the verbal dispute turned into a physical conflict.
When the conflict just started, a security guard looked at Xie Yansheng inquiringly.
Xie Yansheng's eyes were blazing with fire, and he said word by word: "Beat him hard, I will take responsibility if someone dies."
Six or seven strong security guards were very ruthless. In just four or five minutes, Jiang Guan was beaten to the ground.
Wen Lan saw Jiang Guan's bleeding head and pulled Xie Yansheng's arm in fear, "Just beat him up to vent your anger, let them stop, don't let anyone die."
Xie Yansheng was silent with a stern face, and there was terrifying anger in his eyes.
The beating ended with Nuannuan's sudden appearance.
Nuannuan followed the ambulance to send Jiang Guan to the emergency department of the hospital, and Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng returned to Tinglan Mansion.
Xie Yansheng entered the study, and Wen Lan was holding the phone in the living room on the first floor, feeling uneasy.
Jiang Guan was covered in blood when he was lifted into the ambulance, and Nuannuan cried so hard that her emotions were completely out of control. Wen Lan called Nuannuan more than a dozen times, but no one answered.
Although Wen Lan hated Jiang Guan and Jiang Jingci, this gang fight was beyond her psychological endurance.
Jiang Jingci only had this one son. If anything happened to Jiang Guan, he would never let her and Xie Yansheng off!
By then, there would be another bloody storm between Xie Yansheng and Jiang Jingci.
When she was about to go upstairs, Nuan Nuan called.
