Chapter 138 Wen Ruan, Goodbye

Wen Ruan, goodbye

Double Ninth Festival, Wen Ruan’s birthday.

Jiang Qingyan was not surprised that Yao Wei wanted to hold a birthday party for Wen Ruan. Yao Wei had lost face at Ruan's AI forum and offended Ruan Chengdong. He needed to use Wen Ruan's birthday party to cover up and wash away the previous humiliation.

However, he felt something was wrong because Yao Man was going to attend the birthday party.

After the AI forum, Yao Man was in a bad mood for a long time.

Now that she is not working, she has plenty of time to make trouble. She is moody all day long, gets angry at the slightest provocation, throws things, and takes it out on the servants at home whenever she is not satisfied.

The desire to control him is getting stronger and stronger.

There are no less than twenty calls every day. Even such close checks are not enough. The first thing I do when we meet is to check his cell phone.

She focused on checking whether he had contact with Wen Ruan. When she couldn't find any clues, she began to expand the investigation to all opposite sexes. She ignored all the contacts in his WeChat whose profile pictures were beautiful women and deleted and blocked them all.

He couldn't even talk to the opposite sex. He could talk to older or ugly ones, but not to the slightly pretty ones.

She had bipolar disorder before, but it was under control later. However, after joining the forum, she showed signs of relapse and her pathological desire for control became stronger and stronger.

She couldn't bear to hear Wen Ruan's name. She felt that Wen Ruan had harmed her and that she had lost all her face because of Wen Ruan.

When Yao Wei first said that he wanted to hold a birthday party for Wen Ruan at home, she cried and made a fuss, and refused to go no matter what. But Yao Wei was no longer as indulgent to her as before, and since persuasion didn't work, he just let her make a fuss.

Yao Man had a few tantrums, but suddenly one day, she stopped making a fuss and no longer mentioned the birthday party. Yao Wei thought she had finally figured it out and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Qingyan felt that Yao Man was not the type to get along, especially when she went to order a dress without crying or making a fuss, and informed him that she was going to attend the birthday party.

But he just thought that Yao Man would at most overturn the table, make a scene, and ruin Wen Ruan's birthday party.

I really didn't expect her to be so bold.

…

The dinner started at 6:30, and Yao Man had to pick up her dress at 4:30. She also ordered a shirt for him to match her dress and called him to come home before 4:30 to pick her up and take her to a brand store in the city.

This is her problem, and it has become more and more common since she left her job.

Whenever she went to a crowded place, no matter how busy he was, he had to put down his work and accompany her. She wanted to create the illusion that they were very loving, that he loved and spoiled her, and was with her in everything.

Jiang Qingyan really had no intention of working that day.

During the three years he and Wen Ruan were together, he always celebrated her birthday. She liked romance, so he always planned it carefully.

Now, she no longer belonged to him, and he was not even qualified to celebrate her birthday. It had only been a year, but he felt like half a lifetime had passed.

He was distracted by the afternoon meeting and had no concentration on work, so he left work early and arrived home at four o'clock.

Yao Man was talking on the phone in her room and was so focused that she didn't hear him come up.

"God is helping me. I checked the weather and it says there will be heavy rain in Haicheng in an hour. Shenghua Road has a lot of heavy vehicles and is an accident-prone section, so it's normal for a car accident to happen."

"Wen Ruan got off the plane at 4 o'clock. She must have gone directly to the old house. That road is the only way she can take..."

Jiang Qingyan's head buzzed and his phone fell to the ground.

Yao Man was startled when she heard the noise outside. She opened the door and came out. Jiang Qingyan grabbed her arm, his face terribly gloomy. "Whatever you are going to do, stop it now!"

Yao Man was feeling a little guilty at first, and when she saw his expression change, her voice also became sharp.

"You really still have Wen Ruan in your heart. That night at the forum, you jumped down to save Wen Ruan. You really still have her in your heart. Don't you love me the most? Isn't Wen Ruan my substitute? Why are you still thinking about her!"

Jiang Qingyan didn't want to waste time talking to her and tried to use Yao Wei to pressure her.

"Wen Ruan is now Ruan Chengdong's VIP guest, and your father wants to cooperate with the Ruan Group. Wen Ruan can't get into trouble now, so don't mess around!"

Yao Man exploded.

"Playing around? Dad said I was playing around, so you say that too! How did I play around? If you want to blame someone, blame Wen Ruan for seeking death. She's been haunting me. If it weren't for her that night at the forum, would I have been able to lose face?"

"I didn't push Ruan Hao. He jumped down on his own. It must have been Wen Ruan who taught him to do that. It was Wen Ruan who wanted to frame me. There were so many people that night, and Ruan Chengdong threw me out. I became a laughing stock."

"Ever since Wen Ruan joined Minghe, I've been the laughing stock. I'm the eldest daughter of Rongli Group, so I should be glamorous, but instead, she's become more and more glorious."

"She's so amazing! She makes you obsessed with her. He Zheng protects her everywhere. Ruan Chengdong and his son treat her like a treasure. Even my dad is going to throw her a big birthday party!"

"Why?! All her glory should be mine. Why does she, a bastard from a single-parent family, always have the right to be above me?"

"She should have died long ago! When she was fired from Rongli, you shouldn't have agreed to give her 100 million. You should have let her jump off the building! She's a disaster! I want her dead!"

Jiang Qingyan couldn't communicate with her. He didn't have Wen Ruan's number in his phone. He knew that Lin Yue and Wen Ruan had been in contact, so he planned to call Lin Yue.

Wen Ruan got off the plane at four o'clock. It was only four o'clock now, and there was still some distance between the airport and Shenghua Road. Lin Yue could tell her in advance not to go to Shenghua Road.

However, just as he picked up his phone from the ground, Yao Man snatched it away. Yao Man threw his phone hard to the ground, and at the same time, smashed her own phone in front of him.

"It's no use looking for anyone, Wen Ruan must die today!"

Her phone was broken, so she couldn't contact anyone and couldn't withdraw the order.

Jiang Qingyan didn't bother to deal with this madman and turned around and ran. He drove to Shenghua Road as fast as he could, feeling nervous all the way and running through countless red lights.

It's still a step too late.

…

The rain was so heavy that Jiang Qingyan was still some distance away from the accident site. He couldn't even see clearly through the rain.

I could only vaguely see that the large truck hit the driver's seat of the small car. The car was completely overturned, rolled twice and stopped on the side of the road.

Someone got out of the driver's seat of the truck, apparently wanting to check on the condition of the small car. He looked up and saw Jiang Qingyan's car driving towards them, so he got in the car swiftly, restarted it, and sped away.

By the time Jiang Qingyan drove over, the truck had already gone far away.

Jiang Qingyan ran towards the car on the ground, stepping on the broken glass. When he recognized the license plate number as He Zheng's, his heart sank suddenly.

Dark clouds covered the sky, the sky was terrifyingly black, and the rain was getting heavier, occasionally accompanied by thunder.

Jiang Qingyan walked around the car from the back to the front and looked inside through the broken glass of the driver's seat. He Zheng was in the driver's seat and Wen Ruan was in the passenger seat.

Wen Ruan had fainted and the wound on his forehead was still bleeding, but it was obviously not as serious as He Zheng's injury. The car was hit from the driver's seat, He Zheng's seat belt was unbuckled, and his body was in a position to protect Wen Ruan.

Jiang Qingyan even had an absurd guess that at the moment of the accident, He Zheng unbuckled his seat belt and rushed towards Wen Ruan.

He Zheng was covered in blood, with a piece of glass piercing his back. Jiang Qingyan wasn't even sure if he was still alive, so he subconsciously reached out and touched him.

"He Zheng?"

He Zheng slowly opened his eyes. In a flash of lightning, Jiang Qingyan saw his face clearly. It was pale. His pupils were dilated and unfocused. He did not recognize Jiang Qingyan, but just moved his lips.

Jiang Qingyan moved closer and heard him squeeze out a word under his weak breathing.

"Save the co-pilot, please."

Jiang Qingyan was originally going to save Wen Ruan first, but when he heard what he said, he looked at him deeply.

The situation on the passenger side was actually not that bad. Jiang Qingyan opened the door, unbuckled the seat belt, and carefully carried Wen Ruan out.

There were few cars on the road at the moment and the rain was so heavy that He Zheng couldn't hold on for long. Jiang Qingyan had a terrible thought for a moment.

If He Zheng died, that would actually be good, wouldn’t it?

Once he can be himself again, there will be a greater possibility that Wen Ruan will return to him.

Anyway, it wasn't him who killed He Zheng.

Jiang Qingyan put Wen Ruan in his car, closed the door, walked around the front of the car and headed towards the driver's seat.

He started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove around the black Bentley.

…

When Jiang Qingyan carried Wen Ruan out, He Zheng became a little more sober.

He saw Jiang Qingyan's face clearly, and the breath he had been holding in his throat slowly relaxed. It was Jiang Qingyan, so Wen Ruan should be fine.

When Jiang Qingyan's car drove around him, there was no panic on his face. His dark eyes were terrifyingly still, even though he could clearly feel that his life was counting down bit by bit.

I don’t know where I dropped my phone, and my body is aching and numb.

He stared ahead, quietly waiting for death.

In the past, he was never afraid of death. He was a worthless person, so if he died, he died. No one cared where he was buried. Now, it cannot be said that he was afraid, but he felt a little unwilling.

He had only been with Wen Ruan for a short time. After thinking about it for so many years, he finally got what he wanted.

Happiness came suddenly, and now it ends suddenly. He hasn't made Wen Ruan fall in love with him yet, and he is so unwilling to accept it.

But think about it, it’s a good thing.

Fortunately, Wen Ruan didn't fall in love with him.

Otherwise, when she wakes up and finds him lying in the cold morgue, she won't know how long she will cry.

She doesn't love him, so just cry for a day.

His breathing became lighter and lighter, and his vision became more and more blurred. He Zheng moved his right hand with difficulty and touched the red rope around his left wrist.

Wife, it hurts so much.

Wen Ruan, goodbye.

…

The rain is getting heavier.

As Jiang Qingyan was about to turn the corner, the words his mother repeated every year on his birthday flashed through his mind.

"Back then, Rongli Group was looking to transform and acquire your father's Zhenhua Capital. Zhenhua was your father's hard work, and he didn't want it acquired. Yao Wei wanted to invest, but your father knew his ulterior motives and refused to accept Rongli's investment."

"Yao Wei came to your father's house several times, using both soft and hard tactics, but your father refused. So Yao Wei had someone turn on your father's brakes. I was in the car when it crashed, and I was already pregnant with you at the time."

"The driver died on the spot. Your father used his body to protect my mother and me. He could have saved me, but it was raining so hard that night that no car stopped."

"Your father's car had just been serviced, so there's no way the brakes could have been faulty. Unless it was caused by someone, it must have been Yao Wei. Your father was afraid that the Yao family would be wiped out, so he didn't let me take revenge and told me to live with you."

"But Qingyan, how can I not hate you? I watched your father die right before my eyes. I've been thinking about him all these years. What if, even if a car stopped at that time?"

"As long as your father is still alive, I will accept him even if he becomes a vegetable, but he is dead. He could have lived."

Jiang Qingyan slammed on the brakes.
