Xi Chenzhu took the time to look at Jiang Wanyan, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and concentrated on driving.
Xi Chenzhu brought Jiang Wanyan to the lake. The clear water reflected rows of trees on the shore, like another upside-down world.
A gentle breeze blew by, breaking the calm surface of the water, causing ripples to shred the infinite tenderness.
Looking at the vast lake, Jiang Wanyan's inner depression was slightly relieved. She smiled and asked, "You brought me here, don't you want to fly a drone for me again?"
Jiang Wanyan still remembers the fireworks display from the drone show, and she may never forget it for the rest of her life.
He was the only person besides Liang Manzhu and Yin You who treated her well without asking for anything from her.
Jiang Wanyan pretended to be happy, but Xi Chenzhu saw it and couldn't smile at all. He said softly, "No, I'm just bored and wanted to take you out for a walk."
Jiang Wanyan was skeptical, and Xi Chenzhu continued, "You've been through a lot recently, so it's normal for you to feel depressed. You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."
Seeing that she was seen through, Jiang Wanyan stopped smiling and looked at the lake with depression.
It's normal to feel depressed, but being depressed isn't a good feeling at all. She can't concentrate on her work.
The thought of not being able to work properly made her anxious. If she was anxious, she would definitely not be able to work. If she didn't work...
This is a vicious cycle.
Xi Chenzhu asked her, "Do you want to hear a story?"
Jiang Wanyan nodded. There was nothing she could do, so it was nice to just listen to the story.
Xi Chenzhu has a low voice, which is very comfortable when he tells stories, and there is a sense of immersion in the story.
He was talking about a little kid who was often bullied by other kids because he had no father.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanyan couldn't help but think of herself. Because no one went to the parent-teacher meeting, her classmates said that she had no parents and was an orphan.
Xi Chenzhu continued to say that there was a difference between that child and Jiang Wanyan. He would not allow himself to be bullied by others. If others bullied him, he would retaliate twice as hard.
The child was really fierce and was criticized by the teacher many times.
The teacher doesn't care who started it first. He only knows that the child has no one behind him and his grades are not as good as those of the others who bullied him, so the mistake is all the child's.
Once, the child was so cruel that he beat a classmate who bullied him and sent him to the hospital. The school called both parents.
The other party arrogantly asked the child's mother to pay a large amount of money. The child's family simply could not afford the amount of money the other party mentioned. The school also put pressure on the child, saying that if the money was not paid, the child would be expelled.
The child's mother was not afraid of their threats, but asked the child if he still wanted to stay in the school.
If the child wants, the mother will find a way to get the money together.
The children naturally don't want to do that. Everyone in this school is very hypocritical, and the students and teachers are all the same kind of people.
The mother left the group of aggressive people and left with her child.
The child did not disappoint his mother's trust and later became a very powerful person.
Jiang Wanyan blinked. This story sounded like Xi Chenzhu was talking about himself.
She hesitated and asked, "What does this story have to do with me?"
Xi Chenzhu smiled and asked, "Do you know why children become so powerful?"
Jiang Wanyan shook her head. Xi Chenzhu only talked about the treatment the child suffered after losing his father, but did not elaborate on what the child did, right?
Xi Chenzhu looked at her seriously and said, "Because he met someone."
Jiang Wanyan asked, "Who is it?"
Who is so powerful? Is he the mentor?
Xi Chenzhu shook his head and said softly, "You don't need to know so much. I just want to tell you that now that you have met me, I can help you no matter what you want to do."
After saying so much, this is what I wanted to say.
Jiang Wanyan was touched, but she just said politely: "Thank you, I will find you if I need you."
Unless it is absolutely necessary, she wants to rely on herself. Only herself is the most reliable. No matter how good the relationship is, there will be a day when the person will leave.
Jiang Wanyan didn't want Xi Chenzhu to leave after she became dependent on him.
She always wanted to leave herself a way out, especially after being abandoned by the Jiang family and her mother sided with the Jiang family. Jiang Wanyan realized that if she wanted to avoid getting hurt, she couldn't have too high expectations of others.
The greater the expectations, the sadder they are when they are not met.
Xi Chenzhu was not surprised. He said, "I'm serious. There are times when I need you too."
Jiang Wanyan didn't want to attend Shenzhu Club if she needed her help, because he was the one who founded the Xi Group.
He probably said this so that she wouldn't have to ask him for help without any psychological burden.
Jiang Wanyan smiled and said, "I understand."
Looking at the beautiful scenery and chatting with the people around her, Jiang Wanyan's heart was as calm as water, as if the troubles from not long ago had blown away with the wind.
"I want to go see my mom."
Although she believed in Xi Chenzhu's ability, Jiang Wanyan couldn't help but worry about what to do if Liang Manzhu found out.
Xi Chenzhu had no objection and sent her to the hospital to see Liang Manzhu.
Liang Manzhu saw Jiang Wanyan coming and asked with a smile, "Are you free?"
Seeing her like this, Jiang Wanyan knew that Liang Manzhu didn't know that Jiang Xun had been arrested. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Well, when I'm free, I'll come to see you."
Xi Chenzhu did not follow him into the ward. The mother and daughter were chatting happily, and they tacitly did not mention Jiang Xun.
Before Jiang Wanyan was about to leave, Liang Manzhu's phone suddenly rang. Jiang Wanyan tensed up and looked at Liang Manzhu's phone.
Liang Manzhu picked up the phone and said curiously, "It's an unfamiliar number."
Jiang Wanyan clenched her fists and said calmly, "Since it's an unfamiliar number, don't answer it. It might be a scam."
Liang Manzhu looked at it for a while, shook her head and said, "No, I haven't registered any software with my number, nor have I disclosed it. It can't be a scam call."
Jiang Wanyan wanted to say something, but Liang Manzhu had already answered the phone. She could only shut up and look at Liang Manzhu nervously.
Liang Manzhu nodded in agreement. She didn't know what the other party said. Liang Manzhu showed a look of surprise, and then her face became more and more ugly. After hanging up the phone, she frowned and looked at Jiang Wanyan.
Jiang Wanyan asked softly, "Mom, who's calling?"
Liang Manzhu said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that he is still your father? How could you still do such a thing?"
Jiang Wanyan pretended to be confused and asked, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Liang Manzhu said angrily: "You are still pretending, it's the police calling."
Police station?
Jiang Wanyan understood what was going on after a little thought.
Liang Manzhu was Jiang Xun's wife at the time, so it was normal for Jiang Xun to call her when he was taken to the police station.
Jiang Wanyan didn't know what Liang Manzhu had said on the phone. She asked tentatively, "Could there be some misunderstanding? Did the police tell her what it was?"
"It wasn't you?" Liang Manzhu hesitated for a moment, then said with certainty, "If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
