Chapter 36 Welcome to Minghe

Welcome to join Minghe

Wen Ruan didn't come to Jiling Temple originally.

The purpose of her trip was mainly to calm her mind. Before leaving, she searched for travel guides online and visited many places with beautiful scenery, but her mind could not calm down.

One day there was a heavy rain and she couldn’t go to any tourist attractions, and she couldn’t stay in the hotel either.

There happened to be a private bookstore opposite, which had many old books and collections. She went there for three consecutive days, bought a bunch of books, and sent them to Haicheng, asking Zhang Tongtong to help keep them first.

The boss was a woman with elegant conversation and gentle temperament, only three years older than her. They got along very well. When she heard that she wanted to find a place to escape from the world temporarily, the boss recommended Jiling Temple in her hometown.

The incense is not very popular, but it is indeed a good place.

There are few people and it is quiet. Every day is quite fulfilling. I attend classes with the master of the Zen meditation class, practice Tai Chi, drink tea, play chess, read books, arrange flowers, and stroll around the back mountain in my spare time.

Or go out to town to play. Last month, the bookstore owner came back and invited her to stay at his home for a few days.

She lived quite well here, her heart gradually calmed down, and she was able to suppress the strong resentment she had towards Jiang Qingyan and Yao Man.

He Zheng knew she was here. It was her third day here. He called her to remind her not to be so complacent that she forgot to go to Minghe. After talking about business, he asked her where she was.

There was nothing to hide, she told him.

He Zheng has been busy over the past six months and has called several times, but today is the first time he has come, and he started by talking about Jiang Qingyan and Yao Man's engagement.

got engaged……

As expected, Yao Man is the white moonlight that Jiang Qingyan has been waiting for for more than ten years. Now that the white moonlight has returned to his arms, he naturally can't wait to marry her home.

She saw He Zheng's scrutinizing and inquiring gaze.

She was not sad, her face was calm and her heart was calm.

How calm was she? She could even watch the couple having their wedding night right in front of her with a cold eye.

He Zheng asked her if she had seen through the world. She said not really. She was a worldly person, without wisdom and shallow affinity with Buddhism. She had not seen through the world for half a year.

It only took her half a year to let the poison that Jiang Qingyan fed her wear off, and to crush and throw away her heart, which had been corroded by the poison and could still beat for love.

Now, the person her heart loves most is herself.

If you only live for yourself and love yourself in this life, you will naturally feel much more relaxed.

…

There are several pine and cypress trees planted in the yard, which is lush and green, and the occasional bird calls make it quiet.

He Zheng looked at Wen Ruan, distracted for a moment, with complicated feelings.

He hadn't seen her for more than half a year.

During the more than half a year that she had been away from Haicheng and practicing in seclusion, he had not been idle either.

He had previously decided to settle in Singapore. The office there was set up by him and he was in charge of all matters. Now that he had decided to stay in Haicheng, he naturally had to hand over the matters there.

The day after Wen Ruan left Haicheng, he went to Singapore with a vice president.

He was busy with tasks big and small, and when he had free time, he had to take the vice president to numerous networking dinners. Whenever there was something in Haicheng that needed his attention, he had to run back and forth. He had lost the contract because of supporting Wen Ruan, and it took him almost two months to re-sign it.

Too busy.

He knew where Wen Ruan was, but he was too busy to go there. He could only call her occasionally to hear her voice.

It’s not that he can’t squeeze out any time, he just doesn’t want to.

Firstly, Wen Ruan was cultivating her mind this time and certainly didn't want to be disturbed. Secondly, he wanted to finish these things quickly before Wen Ruan came back, so that when Wen Ruan came back, he would have more time to accompany her.

He just returned to Haicheng last week and dealt with the urgent matters at hand. Knowing that today was Jiang Qingyan and Yao Man's engagement party, he came here.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year.

Compared with Wen Ruan from a year ago, the Wen Ruan sitting opposite him now is obviously a different person.

It cannot be said that she has been reborn, but the heavy shackles that almost crushed her are gone.

She wore no makeup, her face was clean and flawless, she just tied a simple ponytail and wore a light gray sportswear. She looked in good spirits and had a better temperament.

Everyone has a bit of Zen.

It is a good thing to retreat and cultivate the mind and let go of Jiang Qingyan, but this woman now gives him the feeling that she is extremely disappointed in love and has cut off all feelings and love from now on, practicing the way of ruthlessness.

Amitabha, please don’t do that!

He Zheng was convinced. He wondered what sins he had committed in his previous life that made his love life so bumpy in this life.

He Zheng took a sip of tea to suppress his anger and changed the subject, "You've been living here all your life, and they haven't kicked you out?"

Wen Ruan: "I am very rich. The temple needs to be renovated this year, and I donated the money."

He Zheng put down his cup and gave her a thumbs up.

"Okay, then when are you planning to return to Haicheng? I've prepared the office for you."

Wen Ruan took a sip of tea and asked him, "Why did you choose to come here today, just to tell me that Jiang Qingyan and Yao Man are engaged?"

"Of course not."

He Zheng sat up straight and spoke in a more serious tone.

"New VR glasses have appeared on the market, with higher configurations and lighter weight. The market prospects for VR games are good. Jiang Qingyan has taken a fancy to Aiyue Technology. The founder of Aiyue Technology is currently out of China, and according to insider information, he will be back next week. Rongli has not yet acquired it."

He stopped talking and Wen Ruan understood what he meant.

"You've also taken a fancy to Ai Yue. Do you want me to be in charge of this project?"

He Zheng picked up the teacup and raised it towards her, with the corners of his lips raised high, "Do you dare to challenge your old boss?"

His smile was lazy, bad, and provocative.

Wen Ruan looked at the cup handed to her and was curious about something.

"You have a grudge against Yao Tianyu, and I have a grudge against Rong Li. I went to Minghe, and we did join forces to fight the enemy, but..."

She paused and looked up at He Zheng.

"In the past two years, you've had the upper hand in your war with Yao Tianyu. Actually, I wasn't very useful to you. I gained a great advantage by joining Minghe. I've been pissed off by you for so many years. Why are you suddenly helping me so much?"

Why?

Because I can't bear to see you suffer, because I am mentally ill, I am a jerk.

Because, I like it.

He Zheng knew clearly in his heart that Wen Ruan had no love for him at all, so he didn't dare to express his true feelings because he would scare her away and humiliate himself.

"You are not very useful to me? How can you not be very useful? You are very useful."

He Zheng crossed his legs and swung the cup in his hand lazily.

"You were driven away by Rongli. I took you in, and you helped me snatch Rongli's projects. It's like I picked up a knife that Rongli didn't want, and then used it to stab them in the heart. Yao Tianyu would be so angry that he would die."

It sounded like she was being treated as a tool, but Wen Ruan wasn't angry.

"Ask me the question again."

He Zheng recalled and asked again: "Do you dare to challenge your old boss?"

Wen Ruan raised his cup and clinked it with his. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "As long as Mr. He dares to support me, there is nothing I won't dare to do."

She had originally planned to go down the mountain in the next two days, and she had also seen the news that He Zheng mentioned. She had known Jiang Qingyan for many years and knew that he would definitely be interested.

Now, she is interested in everything that Rongli is interested in.

He Zheng drank the cup of tea she touched, with a smile on his face. "Welcome to Minghe, and have a happy cooperation."

Wen Ruan also drank the tea. She put down the cup, leaned her elbows on the stone table, supported her chin with her palm, and looked at He Zheng vaguely.

He Zheng imitated her posture and also supported his chin with his palm, his dark eyes sparkling. "Just say what you want to say."

Wen Ruan's eyes were clear. "Come to think of it, you are also a member of the Yao family. You have been fighting with Yao Tianyu for so many years, and he relies on the Rongli Group."

She blinked and said, "Have you never thought about taking over Rongli Group?"

He Zheng was stunned for a moment, then realized what she had said. A smile slowly filled his eyes, and he tutted, "Are you going to make this big of a deal?"

Wen Ruan laughed, "Then do you dare?"

He Zhengtao's eyes were full of romantic laziness, half joking and half teasing her.

"I'm timid, I definitely wouldn't dare to do it myself. If you're willing to be my military advisor, give me advice, and protect me, then I can give it a try."

…

He Zheng arrived in Haicheng the next night, and Shen Yifan went to pick him up at the airport.

Seeing that only He Zheng came back, Shen Yifan turned around from the driver's seat and looked at him, "Didn't Wen Ruan come back with you?"

He Zheng lowered his head and sent a message to Wen Ruan, saying that he had arrived. "She has a friend there. The wedding is tomorrow. She will be back after attending it."

She said she met the bookstore owner during her travels, and that Jiling Temple was recommended by the female owner. The owner was holding a wedding in his hometown and invited her.

After sending the message, He Zheng remembered something and looked up at Shen Yifan and said, "If you don't live in the house in Qingyue Mansion, lend it to me."

"ah?"

Shen Yifan didn't follow his train of thought for a moment.

The houses in Qingyue Mansion were bought a few years ago. He Zheng was attracted by the location there, and they each bought one, mainly for investment. They were fully decorated and neither of them had lived in them.

Chen Yifan's forehead was full of question marks. "You also have a house in Qingyue Mansion. We are neighbors. Have you forgotten?"

There are two households on one floor, and they bought the same floor.

He Zheng: "Wen Ruan wants to buy a house, and I plan to give her mine."

On the way to the station, Wen Ruan sent him off and they chatted. Wen Ruan said that he wanted to buy a house when he returned to Haicheng because he had sold his previous house.

——You don’t live in the house in Qingyue Mansion, so lend it to me.

—I'm going to give her mine.

Shen Yifan realized it belatedly, hey, He Zheng is going to be the neighbor next door to Wen Ruan, tsk, what a dog.

What can I do? I have to stay. Otherwise, if this scheming dog can't catch up with others, I will have to put the blame on him.

"You can stay there, but you have to leave a room for me. I'll move some of my things over and stay with you."

Shen Yifan shared a dormitory with He Zheng in high school and was also his roommate in college. After graduation, He Zheng rented a house and he shared a room with him. Later, He Zheng bought a house and he got married and had a wedding house, but he still liked to go to He Zheng's place.

Sometimes his mother would get so angry that she would hold a rolling pin and yell at him, "Why don't you just marry He Zheng!"

In fact, before he got married, he didn't want to live with his parents, so he liked to go to He Zheng's place.

After getting married, he didn't want to go home, so he often shared the bed with He Zheng.

"I need you to accompany me?" He Zheng gave him a look of disdain. "How long have you not been home? You've left your wife alone in the empty room every day. That's enough. Cheng Shuang will really divorce you later."

Hearing the word "Cheng Shuang", Shen Yifan's face changed slightly, as if his hair exploded. He turned around and sat down, humming something.

"I wish she would leave."

He Zheng kicked the driver's seat and said, "Just keep doing it. You'll get yourself killed sooner or later."
