Chapter 81 Who are you?
When Guoguo pointed to the study, my heart skipped a beat.
Liu Ma and Chen Min looked at each other, with a strange look in their eyes.
"Then Guoguo will take her godmother to find her uncle."
I carried Guoguo to the study, opened the door, looked around, and didn't find anything unusual.
I put Guoguo down, squatted down myself, and asked Guoguo where his uncle was.
Guoguo looked around curiously, with a bit of loss in her eyes. She walked to the sofa and then to the desk. When she saw a photo of Jiang Ruohe on the desk, she smiled, pointed and said, "Uncle is here."
When I saw Jiang Ruohe's photo, a trace of sadness flashed across my eyes. It seemed that I had guessed wrong. I thought that we both had new relationships now, and it was impossible for him to appear here.
Maybe I still have some expectations for him, but I also know that this is impossible.
Aunt Liu came in quickly, took a look at the photo on the desk, and told me with a smile that Guoguo might have called Jiang Ruohe uncle because he thought the photo was handsome.
I nodded and said nothing more.
Chen Min also came in and picked up Guoguo.
"I'm going to make milk powder for Guoguo."
At this moment, there were only Liu Ma and I in the study. I stood in the study with no intention of leaving.
"Auntie Liu, please go out first. I want to be quiet."
Aunt Liu looked at me, moved her lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and walked out.
After Aunt Liu closed the door, I walked to the window and opened it. Looking at the anti-theft window, I remembered the time I had spent with Jiang Ruohe before, and stood in front of the window for a long time.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses. I walked to the desk and sat down. Looking at the photo on the desk, I suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in my heart. I said "hate", opened the drawer, put the photo in the drawer, and when I was about to close the drawer, I found a book "Encyclopedia of Pregnancy" in the drawer.
I was stunned. Why would Jiang Ruohe buy such a book?
I took out the book and flipped through a few pages at random. I found that many key parts were circled by Jiang Ruohe with a pen. I flipped through the book again and found that Jiang Ruohe had basically read the entire book and made a lot of handwriting. There was also a row of words written by him at the end of the book.
"I want to be motivated and be a good father!"
There is no doubt that this should have been bought when Huang Minwei was pregnant. At that time, he loved Huang Minwei very much, and loved the child in her belly even more, so he was willing to sacrifice the life of my first child.
Later, when I became pregnant, he had no idea about it. I couldn't describe how I felt at that moment, but I just closed the book and put it in the drawer.
I left the study and returned to my room. After a while, Chen Min came in holding Guoguo. She planned to go back tomorrow.
"So fast?" I looked up at her.
Chen Min said that today was already the twelfth lunar month. Her husband would be transferred back from Beicheng during the Spring Festival, so she had to hurry home to prepare some cured fish and meat.
Suddenly I thought of my father. In the past, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, he would start preparing cured fish and cured meat, which he made himself.
I nodded, stood up and walked to the makeup mirror, opened the drawer, picked up a box and handed it to Chen Min.
"This is a necklace my grandfather gave me. I've never worn it before."
Chen Min shook her head and said no. I opened the gift box, hung the necklace directly around her neck, and pushed her in front of the makeup mirror.
"Look at this necklace, it suits you so well, just accept it."
Chen Min took a look at it and liked it very much. She thanked me several times.
When Chen Min went out, she looked at me and seemed to want to say something but hesitated. I looked up at her and asked her if she had anything to say to me.
Just then, Aunt Liu called Chen Min in the corridor, asking her to look after the children while she had to prepare dinner.
Chen Min said it was okay and hurried out.
After sitting in the room for a while, I felt that Chen Min and Guoguo would go back tomorrow, so I had to go downstairs and spend more time with Guoguo.
When I went downstairs, Chen Min was holding Guoguo and talking to Liu Ma in the kitchen.
"Mom, what you said is true. I'm really not someone who can hide my thoughts. I almost... I have to go home early tomorrow."
Aunt Liu turned around and glanced at Chen Min, looking disappointed in her.
"I wish you would leave now."
Chen Min was not angry, but smiled faintly. Liu Ma put down the kitchen knife, took out a bank card from her pocket and gave it to Chen Min.
"Mom, this is your money, keep it for yourself. I don't want it." Chen Min shook her head hurriedly.
"I'm fine here. Master, Xiaowan and the others treat me well. I don't need to spend any money at all. It's useless to have the money. You should keep it. When Zhimin is transferred back, you should quickly buy a house in South City and let you and Guoguo stay in my hometown. I'm really worried."
Chen Min looked at Liu Ma with some emotion.
"Mom. You're so kind to me."
I stood at the kitchen door and didn't have the heart to disturb them, so I walked over to the sofa and sat down. I was really envious of the relationship between Liu Ma and Chen Min, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Suddenly, I thought of Wang Yingzhi. When we met before, she really treated me as an enemy. Now, she was lying alone on the hospital bed.
I sighed slowly, and after a while Chen Min came out of the kitchen holding Guoguo. When she saw me sitting on the sofa, she was shocked and asked me when I came down.
"I just came down." I smiled at her and called out Guoguo.
Guoguo has become familiar with me in the past two days. When she heard me calling her, she broke free from her mother's arms and ran quickly into my arms. I picked Guoguo up.
"Guoguo is going home tomorrow, and I'm really reluctant to let her go."
Guoguo came close to my face and kissed me a few times, which meant that she couldn't bear to leave me.
After a while, the meal was cooked.
After dinner, I went upstairs and took a shower. Then I stood in front of the window as usual, looking at the night outside. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was Xiuer calling me.
Xiu'er said that Shen Xiuting went to the casino alone today. After losing the hundreds of thousands of dollars she had won before, she lost another 200,000 dollars. Perhaps she was not willing to give up, so she borrowed another 200,000 dollars from the casino staff, but ended up losing it all.
This means that Shen Xiuting lost 600,000 yuan in one game.
Xiu'er also said that it was Tian Rong who went to the casino and paid money to pick him up.
"Fortunately, she went there alone without telling me, otherwise, Tian Rong would definitely be suspicious of me."
I smiled and said that I knew Shen Xiuting too well. She was a person who loved to take advantage of small opportunities. She didn't bring Xiuer with her because she was probably worried that she would win a lot of money again and would have to treat Xiuer to a meal or give her some dividends.
She was reluctant to take out the money.
Fortunately, she went there alone, and Xiu'er didn't instigate her to go. In this way, the mother and daughter would not suspect that Xiu'er had impure motives.
"When I'm free, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Okay, then Sister Xiaowan, I'm going to hang up first. You should get some rest early."
After hanging up the phone, I lifted the quilt, lay on the bed, turned on the video surveillance of Tian Rong's house, and watched the video from an hour ago.
Tian Rong returned home angrily, and Shen Xiuting followed her with a sad face.
"Daughter, don't be angry. I've only been to the casino twice, and I promise I won't go again."
Tian Rong turned around angrily and looked at Shen Xiuting.
"Mom, didn't I tell you about Chen Xi's parents? They just loved gambling, and Chen Xi's father ended up having his hands chopped off and then committing suicide."
"Six hundred thousand! You lost six hundred thousand in one go. Are you crazy? Is money so easy to earn? Last time, you were tricked by Yu Xiaowan and gave her five hundred thousand. You bought a house and now there's not much money left in your card. Can't you be more frugal?"
Shen Xiuting nodded repeatedly, saying that she understood and promised not to go there again.
"By the way, you are the wife of the Jiang family after all. Didn't Jiang Nianhao give you any money?"
Tian Rong sat on the chair and looked up at Shen Xiuting.
"Mom, please don't mention this. It makes me irritable."
"What's wrong? Is Jiang Nianhao not treating you well?" Shen Xiuting asked hurriedly.
Tian Rong shook her head and said that Jiang Nianhao was good to her. However, he didn't have much money and had signed a property-free agreement to marry her. Now he only had a fixed salary, which was not enough for her to make ends meet.
"That old man is very smart. He told me that I can go to Butler Chen to get 100,000 yuan for living expenses every month. If I need anything else, I can tell Butler Chen and ask him to increase the amount for me."
"Then go and get it." Shen Xiuting said.
"I wanted to collect it, and I even went to find Butler Chen to collect the money, but he got angry and came back. Do you know what he said?" Tian Rong looked at Shen Xiuting.
"Butler Chen said that when Yu Xiaowan was at the Jiang family, she never asked him for living expenses. She was self-reliant. He also said that she worked to avoid being looked down upon by Jiang Ruohe and paid back the money she earned from selling supplements."
"He keeps mentioning Yu Xiaowan. If I go to collect the living allowance, I'm afraid he'll look down on me. I think that old man is deliberately asking Butler Chen to mess with me."
"Jiang Nianhao keeps asking me to coax his father. You have no idea how much that old man has treated me harshly these past few days. I'm obviously furious, but I still have to pretend to be happy. I really can't stand it anymore." Tian Rong slammed the table in anger.
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you be with Jiang Nianhao. I thought he was very rich, but I didn't expect... Oh, your reputation is almost ruined because of him." Shen Xiuting said.
"Don't mention this. I get angry when I think about it. It was that bitch Yu Xiaowan who was behind all this. If it weren't for her, how could I be said like this? In the final analysis, I really underestimated her at the beginning." Tian Rong said gritting her teeth.
"It's really hard to deal with her now. I'd better give birth to this child with peace of mind. After giving birth to this child, Jiang Nianhao will pamper me even more. He also promised me that I will get whatever I want."
Tian Rong gently stroked her lower abdomen with her hand.
"Baby, you have to be good. When you come out, mommy will give you the best."
"Hey, daughter, you said Yu Xiaowan targeted us like that. Is it because she still suspects us of killing her father?" Shen Xiuting asked.
Tian Rong pondered for a while.
"It's hard to say. But don't worry, she has no evidence, she's just suspicious. It's useless. We did a perfect job on that matter. As long as you don't let anything slip, she will never know."
Seeing this, I snorted coldly. I had recorded their conversation before. I was just unwilling to accept it, and I was unwilling to send them to jail.
"Mom, you'd better be quiet these days, so that Yu Xiaowan won't find any evidence against you. Otherwise, even if I want to save you, I won't be able to do it."
Tian Rong stood up, yawned, and said she was going to go into the house to rest. She was told to go back if she was fine, as Jiang Nianhao would be here soon.
Tian Rong walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Shen Xiuting.
"Mom, didn't you never gamble before? Why are you thinking about gambling now?"
Shen Xiuting said that the first time she went there was half a month ago, and she went with Xiuer, and she won more than 100,000 yuan at that time.
Tian Rong's face darkened and she hurriedly asked Shen Xiuting whether Xiu'er had encouraged her to go.
Shen Xiuting shook her head and said no.
"She only accompanied me once. I won some money and treated her to a meal. She never came to see me again after that."
"What's wrong?" Shen Xiuting asked Tian Rong.
Tian Rong thought about it, shook her head and said it was okay.
"I think I'm overthinking it. Xiu'er doesn't have the guts to do that. Mom, please don't gamble anymore. If you do, I'll be really angry."
Shen Xiuting agreed repeatedly and said that she would not go there anymore and asked Tian Rong to go and rest quickly.
I turned off the video, a hint of coldness flashed across my eyes, I put the phone on the bedside table and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I drove Chen Min and Guo Guo to the station. When they entered the station, I stuffed a red envelope into Guo Guo's pocket, but Chen Min quickly said no.
"Take it. It's almost Chinese New Year, so just treat it as lucky money."
Chen Min said thank you to me, and I got into the car after seeing her enter the waiting room.
I went to the hospital and found the ICU where Wang Yingzhi was. There was a nurse in the ICU who was hired by Jiang Ruohe.
"I'm his ex-wife. I heard something happened to my mother-in-law. I came to see her."
The guard looked at me for a while, and after deciding that I wasn't a bad person, he let me in.
I stood in front of the bed, looked at Wang Yingzhi lying on the bed without any response, and moved a chair to sit down.
"Mom, I'm here to see you."
A bitter smile flashed across my eyes.
"I know that if you were conscious, you would jump up immediately and chase me away."
"I don't know why, even though I knew you didn't like me, I still wanted to come see you. When I found out you were like this, I didn't feel happy at all, but rather a little sad. Now that I think about it, when I was at the Jiang family, although you hated me, you didn't do anything cruel to me."
I didn't know what to say to Wang Yingzhi, I just looked at her quietly. After a while, I stood up and walked out. When I reached the door, I ran into Caiqing who came to see Wang Yingzhi. Caiqing saw me coming out of Wang Yingzhi's room and saluted.
She looked at Wang Yingzhi in the ward with some concern, and then looked at the nurse standing outside the door.
Judging from her expression, she must be worried that I would do something to Wang Yingzhi.
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything. After all, she is my ex-mother-in-law. No matter how big the conflicts between us were in the past, she is like this now. I don't need to care about the past."
When Cai Qing saw me looking at her coldly, a hint of apology flashed across her eyes.
"I'm just surprised that you would come to see Aunt Wang."
I didn't say anything and was about to leave when I met Jiang Ruohe coming out of the elevator. We looked at each other and Jiang Ruohe's face turned cold.
"What are you doing here?"
Before I could answer, he said something else.
"Come and see my mother's joke?"
My face froze and I glared at Jiang Ruohe fiercely.
Cai Qing hurried over.
“Ruohe, you misunderstood Xiaowan. Xiaowan didn’t mean that.”
At this time, the nurse also came over and said that I did come to see Wang Yingzhi with good intentions, and that she had been watching outside and didn't hear anything harsh I said.
Jiang Ruohe glanced at me again.
"Chunmei, next time someone irrelevant comes, don't let her in. Otherwise, you'll have to get ready to leave."
Chunmei nodded repeatedly.
I didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Ruohe, but I knew that my heart was in so much pain.
Forget it, don't be obsessed, just let that little bit of fantasy disappear at this moment.
Jiang Ruohe had a cold expression on his face and ignored me as he entered Wang Yingzhi's ward. Cai Qing looked at me apologetically and followed Jiang Ruohe into the ward.
I walked quickly into the elevator. The moment the elevator closed, tears fell uncontrollably. I hurriedly wiped my tears with my hands, secretly cursing myself for crying.
I walked to the car door and got in. Just as I was about to start the car and leave, I heard someone calling me. It was Mu Yan. Mu Yan walked to my car in a white coat. He looked into my car, smiled at me, and asked me why I came to the hospital.
"I took a look at my ex-mother-in-law." I answered honestly.
"Oh. I thought you were sick. Why are your eyes red?" Mu Yan looked at me.
"Oh, I didn't sleep well these two days. I still have things to do, so I'll leave first." I smiled at Mu Yan, and Mu Yan nodded.
I drove out of the hospital and returned home. As soon as I got out of the car, Aunt Liu was standing at the gate. I opened the door and got out.
"Don't worry, I saw Chen Min go into the waiting room, and I came back."
Aunt Liu nodded and said, "Hmm," that Chen Min had called her and told her that the bus she was taking had already left.
"I see the car is dirty. I'll go get a basin of water and wipe it."
I hurriedly called out to Aunt Liu and told her that I would just drive out to wash the car in the afternoon.
"Washing the car is so expensive. I'll just clean it. It'll be done in no time."
I looked at Aunt Liu worriedly. She was old, so I suggested we go wash the car later. Aunt Liu said no, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a basin of water.
I hurried to Liu Ma and said, "Let me wash it."
"Xiao Wan, go and rest. I'm not tired."
Although Aunt Liu was just a nanny arranged by my grandfather, she was really kind to me. Seeing her like this, how could I bear to be happy alone and let her help me wash the car?
"Let me do it. You go and have a rest." I took the rag from Liu Ma's hand.
Aunt Liu quickly went into the house and brought over another rag, saying it wasn't a very tiring job and that if two people worked together, it would be done in a few minutes, saving them the money for washing the car.
This car actually belongs to Jiang Ruohe. Although he left the keys with me, I rarely drive it.
What Aunt Liu said makes sense. I think from now on, it’s better for me to wash the car myself at home. I can save as much as I can.
I walked to the trunk with a rag and opened it, but the rag in my hand fell to the ground in fright.
There was a person curled up in the trunk, with a lot of blood on his body.
Aunt Liu hurried over and was also shocked when she saw the man.
The man opened his eyes weakly.
"I'm not a bad person." He reached into his pocket and pulled out an ID. I took it. It was from a psychiatrist named Han Liang. Judging from his accent, he didn't seem to be from here.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
"No, I'm not going to the hospital. I'll give you a number. Please call him for me."
I nodded and said okay, and asked him to tell me the number. When the number was entered into my phone, I was stunned for a moment. It was Yan Yun's call.
I called him quickly and told him about it.
"He's my friend. I'll drive over right away. Don't send him to the hospital yet."
"But he's injured." I looked depressed.
At this time, Aunt Liu reminded me that our house has a basement with a lot of medical equipment.
"The young master was a bit rebellious when he was young. He always got into fights and got hurt. He was afraid that the master would find out, so he simply bought some medical equipment and stored it in the basement. Whenever he got hurt, he would have his personal doctor come over."
I hung up the phone and said, "Okay, since he is Yan Yun's friend, I have to help."
Aunt Liu and I laboriously carried Han Liang into the basement and laid him on the hospital bed. After unbuttoning his clothes, we discovered he had been stabbed several times with a fruit knife. I asked Aunt Liu to quickly notify Jiang Ruohe's personal doctor.
I hurriedly took some anti-inflammatory water, wiped the wound on his body with the cotton swab in front of me, blocked the bleeding with a cotton ball, and then wrapped it with gauze.
"There's nothing I can do. I'm not a medical student and I don't know much. I can only treat your wound simply. You have to wait for the doctor to come for the rest." I looked at him apologetically.
Han Liang said thank you and then fainted, probably due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, Dr. Jiang Ruohe was very quick. After Liu Ma called, he arrived here with his assistant in eight minutes and started the operation.
After a while, Yan Yun also rushed over anxiously. Seeing the doctor performing surgery on him, he went upstairs with me.
Before I even started asking, Yan Yun told me that his friend, who was ostensibly a psychiatrist, was actually a police officer. He was just an undercover officer and couldn't easily let others reveal his identity.
"I guess they were discovered. When I rushed to the hospital, I found that the other party had already set their sights on them, so they took the opportunity to hide in my trunk."
"Then do you know what case he is investigating?" I asked Yan Yun in confusion.
Yan Yun shook his head and said that telling me that Han Liang was an undercover policeman was already a leak, and he really couldn't tell me anything else.
I nodded, patted his shoulder and said I understood.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the doctor came out of the basement with his assistant and told me that the patient was fine, but it would take another half an hour for him to wake up.
I walked up to the doctor and said thank you. I was about to pay, but Aunt Liu held me back and said that Jiang Ruohe had left a card with the doctor, so the doctor could just set the price himself.
"But that's Jiang Ruohe's money." I don't think I should use it.
"Doctor Lin only targets the young master. This time I said that he came here because the young master asked him to. Otherwise, even if you give him a million and ask him to come, he won't come." Aunt Liu whispered to me.
I glanced at Dr. Lin and said nothing more.
"I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Dr. Lin looked at me and left with his assistant.
Yan Yun and I went into the basement together and waited for half an hour. Han Liang woke up, still a little weak. Han Liang wanted to say something to Yan Yun, but when he saw me there, he looked at me.
I knew they must have something important to discuss privately, so I looked up at Yan Yun and said, "I'll go up first. Call me if there's anything."
Yan Yun nodded and said yes.
After I went upstairs, I sat on the sofa and looked at the time on the wall. It was half past ten in the morning. Aunt Liu went into the kitchen and started busying herself. I went into the kitchen to help and asked Aunt Liu to cook more food. Han Liang was injured now, and the people he was investigating would definitely look for him all over South City. It should be safer for him to stay with me.
Aunt Liu nodded and agreed. Half an hour later, Yan Yun came up and stood at the kitchen door. He called me out of the kitchen.
"I need to discuss something with you. My friend is now under suspicion and may have to hide for a while. He's injured now. Can you let him stay here for a while? I'll pay the rent."
I rolled my eyes at him and asked him if he considered me a friend.
“Yes.”
"Then why are you still asking me about the rent? Don't worry, I've already considered this matter and explained it to Aunt Liu. Neither Aunt Liu nor I will tell anyone else."
"Thank you so much." Yan Yun looked at me with gratitude.
I told Yan Yun that the meal would be ready soon and asked him to have lunch with me. Yan Yun nodded and agreed. As for Han Liang, I had already cooked porridge and soup for him alone.
After the meal was ready, Aunt Liu asked Yan Yun and me to eat first, and she went to take the meal to Han Liang.
"Your nanny is so nice." Yan Yun looked at me.
I nodded and said that Liu Ma was just like my mother.
"And your mother?"
"It seems that she died of illness when I was born. We were poor at that time, and my father didn't have a photo of her. I don't even know what she looked like." I stopped eating with the chopsticks in my hand and looked at Yan Yun.
I once asked my dad what my mom looked like. He only said, "She must be pretty," and his tone was very vague, and then he didn't say anything else.
"I'm sorry for touching on your sad story." Yan Yun looked at me apologetically.
I shook my head and said it was nothing.
"By the way, I heard you're bringing Yang Ru home at the end of the year?"
Yan Yun nodded and said that in his line of work, he didn't have many female friends and only knew me and Yang Ru. His mother had made a harsh warning that if he didn't bring a girlfriend home this year, she would definitely not let him in.
"There's no other way. I'll ask Yang Ru to help me."
"What help? Just make it come true." I gave him a wicked smile.
Yan Yun smiled shyly.
“I’m afraid people won’t like me.”
I told him not to worry. I am familiar with Yang Ru and can see that she is a good girl. Their personalities are also quite compatible.
"If she had no feelings for you, why would she agree to go to your house. If you really like her, confess your feelings quickly, otherwise you will regret it if you miss out." As I said this, a trace of sadness flashed across my eyes.
Yan Yun took a look at me and asked me if I had a boyfriend after my divorce.
"Yes, it's very good to me."
Yan Yun glanced at me, a strange look flashed across his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He lowered his head and ate his meal in peace.
After dinner, Yan Yun went down to the basement to take a look at Han Liang, and then went back to the station.
After a while, Xiao Shi called me and asked me what I was doing. I said I was at home.
"There's a party this afternoon, and I want to take you there."
I nodded and said yes.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Shi came to pick me up.
I sat in the passenger seat. Xiao Shi handed me a bag and said it was a dress made according to my size. I took it and said thank you to him.
Xiao Shi drove for half an hour and felt like we were almost out of the city. I asked him where the meeting point was.
"It's in the suburbs, at a villa owned by a friend. He's getting married soon, so he held a party to say goodbye to being single."
I nodded and said okay, then lay down in the car and took a nap.
I felt someone caressing my face. I quickly opened my eyes, and Xiao Shi's hand retracted from my face, saying that I was really quick to react. He was even planning to steal a kiss from me while I was sleeping.
I didn't say anything. Xiao Shi said it was time. He opened the car door, got out and walked to my side. He opened the car door, stretched out his hand and made a please gesture.
I burst out laughing, put my hand on his, bent down and walked out of the car, then took his wrist and walked into the villa together.
There were several people standing at the door. They saw Xiao Shi coming and hurried over.
Xiao Shi introduced them to me one by one, and the owner of the villa was named Zhang Jing.
"This is my girlfriend, Yu Xiaowan."
Zhang Jing looked at me and said hello, sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law is so beautiful."
I smiled faintly at him.
I was actually not very willing to go with Xiao Shi to meet his friends, mainly because I was divorced and had two miscarriages. If someone came forward and told this, I was afraid that I would lose face for Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi suddenly held my hand tightly. I looked up at him and he put his face close to my ear.
"Don't worry, my friends won't care about these things, as long as I like you."
He exposed my inner thoughts. I looked at Xiao Shi in silence. At that moment, I was somewhat moved.
"Haiyan, come here." Zhang Jing looked around, called a curly-haired beauty over, and hugged her in my arms.
"My fiancée, Haiyan."
Haiyan smiled shyly at Xiao Shi and me, and snuggled obediently in Zhang Jing's arms.
"Congratulations." Xiao Shi said.
"Alas, we are about to enter the grave of marriage, so let's have a good drink today."
Zhang Jing asked the waiter to bring a few glasses of wine. When he handed one of the glasses to me, Xiao Shi took it.
"My girlfriend doesn't drink much. She gets drunk after just one glass, which is quite annoying. I drank this glass for her."
Zhang Jing glanced at Xiao Shi, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at his other friends.
"We brothers all follow Xiao Shi's example. Look how much we dote on his girlfriend."
Seeing that Zhang Jing and the others were not angry, I grabbed a glass of orange juice.
"Happy wedding in advance."
After drinking orange juice, Xiao Shi pulled me to sit on the sofa and said that someone else would come over later. I asked him who he was.
"Your former uncle."
I was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Shi said that his previous collaboration with Wang Chuan was very successful, so he wanted to discuss the next collaboration with Wang Chuan.
"That's good."
After a while, Wang Chuan came, and Jiang Yuchen came with him. Under Wang Chuan's training, Jiang Yuchen had really changed a lot. She wore a pink long dress and had her long hair tied up, looking particularly elegant.
When Jiang Yuchen saw me, he was very happy and quickly let go of his father and walked towards me.
"Xiao Wan, why are you here?"
I glanced at Xiao Shi beside me and said that I came here with Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi stood up and greeted Wang Chuan, saying that they would go upstairs to discuss something, and asked Jiang Yichen and me to sit for a while.
As soon as the two of them left, Jiang Yichen came up to me.
"Are you two dating?"
I nodded.
"What about my cousin?"
I said, isn’t Jiang Ruohe already dating Cai Qing?
"No, I met Sister Caiqing a few days ago, and she said no."
I turned to look at Jiang Yichen, but I was a little bit unconvinced. If they were not dating, how could they be so close?
"I'm not really sure about this. My cousin and Sister Caiqing have been together recently, but Sister Caiqing said that my cousin has never confessed his feelings to her. She doesn't know what kind of relationship they are in now. It feels closer than friendship, but it hasn't yet become love."
Jiang Yichen said that maybe the two of them should spend more time together to see if they are suitable for each other in the future.
"I still think it's a pity that you and your cousin are getting divorced." Jiang Yichen said.
I didn't say anything, just lowered my eyes dejectedly.
Jiang Yichen was texting on his phone.
"I miss you too, muah."
Seeing me looking at her, Jiang Yichen said that she had a boyfriend and asked me to guess what her boyfriend did.
"I think your father should be looking for a man of equal status and good character."
Wang Chuan was able to transform Jiang Yichen into what she is now, so the boyfriend he found for her must be pretty good.
Jiang Yichen shook his head and said that his father did not restrict her in terms of feelings, nor did he require her to be of equal social status.
"He's a courier."
I was still surprised. Seeing Jiang Yichen's face full of happiness, I said congratulations.
Jiang Yichen said that her boyfriend was getting off work and she was going to call him.
I still prefer quiet places. I happened to feel a little dizzy, so I told Jiang Yichen that I would go to the lounge on the second floor to wait for her.
Jiang Yichen nodded and agreed.
There are quite a lot of rooms in this villa. After I went up to the second floor and walked to the end, I saw several rooms with signs saying "lounge". At this moment, my head became even more dizzy, and my body felt a little restless.
I thought it might be because the heating was on in the whole villa, so it seemed I had to change out of this tight dress.
Just as I was about to open the door and enter the house, I felt a sudden pain in the back of my head, and then I knew nothing.
When I woke up, I found myself lying on a big bed, feeling extremely hot all over. It felt like...
I quickly sat up from the bed, luckily my clothes and everything were there.
I caught a glimpse of a man sitting on the floor, covering his head. When he looked up, I was shocked. It was Zhang Jing. It was obvious from Zhang Jing's expression that he had been drugged just like me.
He forced himself to stand up, looked at me and said, "Oh no, someone wants to harm him."
He hurried to the door and tried to open it, but found that it was locked.
"Call someone quickly." I urged.
"This is the third floor, my private residence. It's very soundproof. All the staff have gone downstairs to entertain the guests."
Zhang Jing turned around and looked at me, cursing at this despicable guy.
I was filled with panic as I recalled the first night with Jiang Ruohe when Chen Xi drugged me.
"Xiao Wan, don't worry. You are Xiao Shi's woman. No matter what you say, I won't touch you." Zhang Jing's face flushed red. He turned around and started banging his head against the wall, trying to sober himself up.
I was also very hot, so I asked him if there was a knife or anything in the room. Zhang Jing shook his head. I could only bite my wrist to stay awake.
I thought that if Jiang Yichen didn’t see me in the lounge, he would definitely look for me.
I sat on the bed, anxiously waiting for time. I bit my wrists until they bled, but the feeling of heat in my body became more and more intense, and I became more and more worried.
It's possible that the villain behind the scenes will hold back Xiao Shi and Jiang Yichen, and will also hold back the friends who are looking for Zhang Jing. If this continues, it's really not a solution. I have to think of a way to protect myself quickly.
Zhang Jing suddenly turned around and looked at me, which scared me. He was staring at me as if I were his prey. The veins on his face were bulging, and he was probably about to...
After a struggle in Zhang Jing's eyes, he said sorry to me and rushed towards me.
I hurriedly got out of bed, but the room was too small and I was soon caught by Zhang Jing. I kept shouting for help, and he kept murmuring "I'm sorry" and forced me to the ground.
When my body was touched, I felt like I was losing all my rationality.
"Zhang Jing. You are getting married, so you must stay calm." I tried to stay sober.
"I also want to calm down, but I feel like I'm out of control." Zhang Jing said in tears.
At that moment, I was really desperate and bit the tip of my tongue with my teeth. At this moment, the window in the room was opened and a dark shadow appeared in my sight.
The black shadow was wearing a black suit, a baseball cap and a mask. Only his two eyes were exposed on his face.
When Zhang Jing stood up and was about to turn around, the black shadow slapped him on the back of the head, and Zhang Jing fell to the ground.
The black shadow pulled me up. When his hand touched mine, perhaps because the heat in my body had not yet subsided, I felt a tremor all over and had an urge to hug this man.
I actually did it and hugged him directly, saying it was so hot, and my hands became a little restless.
This medicine is really strong, no wonder Zhang Jing couldn't control himself. Thinking of this, I no longer hate Zhang Jing for what he did to me just now.
The shadow shuddered and pushed me away. I stumbled and fell to the ground. The shadow walked in front of me and stuffed a candy into my mouth. I knew it was the antidote.
When I was playing the piano in a bar, Han Ming was afraid that the female employees would be tricked by customers, so he gave us a lot of these candies.
"Give him one too, otherwise things won't be clear later." I pointed at Zhang Jing and said.
The black shadow turned around and looked at Zhang Jing lying on the ground, stretched out his leg and kicked him, then squatted down and gave him a candy reluctantly.
After calming down, I sat up from the ground, stood in front of the black shadow, and reached out to take his mask, but he quickly avoided it.
"Who are you?"
He didn't answer my question, but just said he didn't have time and asked me to go to the window.
I also understood that this was not the time to argue, so I obediently walked to the window.
The dark shadow tied the rope around my waist and said in a low voice that the room below was the lounge where I was.
He reached out and put his arms around my waist, carried me out of the window, and put me on the second-floor window. I looked up at him, reached out to open the second-floor window, climbed in, untied the rope tied around my waist, and stood in front of the window.
Soon the man also climbed down the rope. Seeing that he did not stop on the second floor, I quickly reached out and grabbed his shoulders to prevent him from sliding down.
"Who are you?"
He looked at me and said that he was sent by Xiao Shi to protect me.
I was stunned for a moment, and he took the opportunity to shake off my hand, quickly landed on the lawn on the first floor, and then reeled in the rope.
As I watched him turn and leave, I suddenly shouted at his back.
"Jiang Ruohe."
