To pluck Shi Wang, the aloof flower of the legal world, Jiang Wannuan relentlessly pursued him for three years.
Hearing he liked gentle and virtuous girls, she was willing to hide her identit...
Chapter 35 Grandma's Relics
Early morning in Shenzhen.
The snow that fell all night finally stopped last night.
However, when Shi Wang saw the old notebook in the bedside drawer, his mind couldn't help but go blank for a moment.
He subconsciously took out the notebook and flipped through the contents.
The familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar content in it made his already furious mood suddenly plummet to an ice cellar.
If Shi Wang remembered correctly, this diary was not originally placed in the drawer at this angle.
The obvious signs that the notebook had been flipped through finally made him realize with a panic that Jiang Wanning seemed to have seen the contents on it.
So, it seems to make sense.
Why did Jiang Wanning suddenly change her temperament, do all kinds of unreasonable things, and still be angry with him?
Thinking of this, Shi Wang could no longer hold back, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the house.
The moment the door opened.
Xu Moli and Qin Huifang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately came forward to greet them.
"Shi Wang, are you okay? There was such a big noise in the room just now."
"Yes, son, what are you doing in the house by yourself? You don't even answer when I ask you. Jasmine and I are so worried outside."
Shi Wang: "Nothing, my phone is broken. I'm going out to buy a new one."
Only then did Qin Huifang and Xu Moli notice that Shi Wang's cell phone had been torn into pieces in the house.
Xu Moli's expression was even more considerate. "It's still early. The mobile phone shops might not be open yet. Auntie just happened to make breakfast. You probably didn't get enough rest after drinking last night. Why don't you eat before going out?"
"Yes, son, Jasmine is right. Drinking without eating is not good for your health. You should eat something before leaving."
Seeing the two people trying to stop him, Shi Wang did not stop.
He took the coat from the hanger and walked straight past the two of them towards the door.
During the time that Jiang Wanning was away, his appetite was always poor and he couldn't eat anything Qin Huifang cooked.
"No, I have an important job that will require my phone later."
After saying this, Shi Wang walked out the door without waiting for the two to react.
The two of them were left watching his departing back, but their eyes were different.
…
After Shi Wang left the apartment, he did not change his cell phone.
Instead, he continued all the way to Jiangwu Community in the west of the city.
He wanted to find Jiang Wanning and ask her clearly whether the reason for her leaving was related to the diary.
He has always been arrogant, but for the first time he is willing to bow down to love. Jiang Wanning must be very touched.
Shi Wang had full confidence that the latter would definitely come back to him.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he knocked on the apartment door, the person who opened the door was a man he didn't even know.
Shi Wang couldn't help but frown when he saw this: "Who are you? Where is Jiang Wanning?"
Shi Wang suddenly thought that it seemed that not long ago, he had also seen other different men next to Jiang Wanning.
A feeling of uneasiness and irritability inexplicably surged into his heart.
But the next second, the extremely unhappy words of the man in front of him made him fall into the abyss completely: "Jiang Wanning moved out a long time ago, I am the owner of this house."
"What did you say? She's gone?" Shi Wang couldn't believe his ears. "When did she leave? Where did she go?"
"How would I know? I'm not familiar with her. Why would you come here so early in the morning to look for her? What's your relationship with her?"
The man's words were undoubtedly like a heavy hammer, causing Shi Wang's original confidence to suddenly fall to the bottom.
Jiang Wanning was gone? When did she leave? How come I had no idea?
Besides, in this huge city of Shenzhen, she has no one else to rely on except herself. Where else can she go?!
…
In Xingguo, it was late at night. Jiang Wanning was leaning against the headboard, talking on the phone with Su Xu.
The person on the other end probably told her what happened and stuck out his tongue: "That's probably what happened."
Finally, she asked her bestie worriedly, "But Wan Ning, will you soften your heart and get back together with him in the future? After all, this is the first time I've seen you so devoted to a relationship."
"Won't."
Jiang Wanning listened to her bestie's words and casually played with her hair in front of her. However, she answered quickly and firmly: "Su Xu, you know me. I am a very persistent person."
“When you like someone, you should do your best and be willing to give everything for them. Don’t turn back until you hit a wall.”
"But when I finally woke up and decided to give up, there was no turning back."
So just as she and Shi Wang said that night, since they were over, it was completely over.
Su Xu cheered on the other end of the phone: "Great, this is the Ningning I know!"
After that, the two chatted about other things for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Wanning said goodbye to her, hung up the phone and went to sleep.
It was a rare occasion for her to sleep soundly, and she slept almost until noon the next day.
Song Yao came back last night and went out again after having breakfast.
Jiang Wanning strolled around the house and saw that Jiang Wenzhou showed no signs of waking up.
It was almost lunch time, so she simply grabbed some food to fill her stomach and went to the study on the top floor.
The study here is also newly built, occupying almost the entire top floor attic. The collection of books is comparable to that of a small library.
Jiang Wanning originally intended to take over the company in less than a week.
So I want to find some books on economics and refresh my memory of what I learned in school.
So I picked and chose and finally selected two books that caught my eye and planned to read them after lunch.
However, she didn't expect that when she was about to go downstairs, her peripheral vision was suddenly attracted by a pile of things in the corner of the study.
Jiang Wanning looked carefully and saw some little things left by her grandmother.
There was probably a small display cabinet filled with jade pieces that she had played with when she was bored during her lifetime. They had never been circulated on the market, but she didn't expect Song Yao to bring them all here.
Jiang Wanning thought of her grandmother and stopped walking away, then turned back to the display case.
The display case was filled with a dazzling array of items, most of which she had seen before. Only a small number, like defective carvings, were placed in a corner.
Jiang Wanning was attracted by one of the cats that had half of its ear missing. When she was about to take it out to look at it, she noticed that there was an old cowhide bag behind it.
How could there be such a thing at home?
She opened the leather bag with some doubts, and inside were a few scattered, faded photos.
Most of them are photos of my grandmother when she was young or with my grandfather.
Jiang Wanning felt a warm feeling in her heart, but her gaze suddenly froze when she moved to the photo at the bottom.
