Chapter 217 Encouragement
Ji Wan was slightly startled, then a gentle smile appeared on her face, "Of course, Xiaolan." As she said that, she took Wang Lan's hand, walked into her bedroom, and they sat down side by side.
Wang Lan twisted her hands together nervously, and it took her a long time to muster up the courage to speak.
"Wanwan, I...I've always felt that I wasn't worthy of him. You came back specially to arrange all this for us. I feel really bad and feel like I've caused you a lot of trouble."
She lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Ji Wan's eyes.
Although Ji Lin affirmed and encouraged her every moment, her confidence increased a lot.
But since she started to get involved in Ji Lin's circle, there have been many people who mocked her. It would be a lie to say that she didn't care. Wang Lan bit her lip and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ji Wan gently patted Wang Lan's hand.
"Don't think that. First of all, our family accepts you because you are good enough. You are kind, gentle, and sincere in your feelings. Do you know that my brother has become more energetic since he has been with you? He used to be always busy with work, a senior office worker. Although he seemed very fulfilled, I could feel that he was actually a little lonely. But now, he is very happy every day, and it is all because of you."
Wang Lan raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. "Really? I'm always worried that my education level doesn't match my qualifications, and I don't have any special skills. I'm afraid you'll look down on me."
Ji Wan looked at Wang Lan seriously and said, "Culture and ability are not the only criteria for measuring a person. Your kindness is the warmth that emanates from your heart, and this warmth can make everyone around you feel happy. Look, everyone enjoyed the meal today so much. It's all because of you. We've never had such a delicious meal before."
Ji Wan smiled, her beautiful eyes formed crescents, and she was radiating light at this moment.
Wang Lan's lips trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes, expressing her sincere gratitude.
"Wanwan, thank you. I've always felt very inferior to you. Hearing you say that, I feel much better."
Ji Wan gently hugged Wang Lan, treating her like a sister. "Don't think like that anymore. You're a member of our family now. You need to have confidence in yourself. We all love you and want you to be happy."
The two chatted for a while, and Ji Wan asked Wang Lan to go back and rest, because they had to get up early tomorrow to go up the mountain to worship their ancestors, and climbing a mountain is a strenuous job.
Ji Wan lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his mind full of Chi Wenyan's figure. He really wasn't used to leaving for such a long time.
…
In a gloomy yet quiet mental hospital on the outskirts of Kyoto, Wang Yuting's hair was disheveled, and her eyes revealed a complex expression of madness and helplessness.
He ran back and forth in the small ward, muttering some incomprehensible words from time to time, sometimes shouting, and sometimes curled up in the corner and shivering.
Several nurses in white uniforms walked in with indifferent expressions. After all, in this place, facing such patients every day has made their hearts numb.
The nurse walking in front was holding a tray with a syringe and medicine on it. These were the drugs used to calm Wang Yuting down.
"Who are you! Who allowed you into my bedroom? Get out! Get out!"
As they got closer, Wang Yuting struggled more and more, and the nurse skillfully grabbed her arm and tried to calm her down so that she could give her the injection.
Wang Yuting suddenly felt something stuffed in her hand. The action was very covert and the other nurses did not notice it.
Although Wang Yuting was a little confused, she still instinctively held the note tightly.
After the injection, the nurses left the ward. Wang Yuting sat in the corner, looking around from time to time to make sure no one was paying attention to her, and then she sneaked towards the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, he quickly closed the door and locked it.
Her heart was beating fast, and an inexplicable tension filled her senses. With trembling hands, she opened the note. The handwriting on the note was crooked, and it read, "I can rescue you. Come to the Western Wall at 3:00 AM tonight."
Wang Yuting looked at the contents of the note, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by doubt. She didn't know who gave her the note, nor did she know if it was a trap.
Who was going to rescue her, her parents? No, that was impossible. When she came in here, it was Wang's father who brought her in.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer and clenched the note in his hand.
Forget it, no matter who he is, when she thought about escaping from this mental hospital that was like a cage, she felt that this was an opportunity worth a try.
She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, thinking about the sudden news and how to sneak out at night. It was not until she heard the nurse's urging voice outside that she came to her senses, carefully hid the note, and walked out of the bathroom.
At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Yuting quietly came out of the ward.
Her heart was beating wildly and she took every step carefully, afraid of making any noise.
The dim corridor was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant, and I glanced around vigilantly.
As she was about to leave the house, a nurse approached her. Wang Yuting's eyes widened instantly, her pupils filled with fear. Her body instinctively wanted to turn around and run, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.
His lips trembled slightly, and his throat seemed to be choked by something.
Is she going to fail? This is her only chance.
Just when she was about to despair, the nurse gently pulled her arm, her eyes cold and emotionless, signaling her not to make a sound.
Wang Yuting nodded and let the nurse take her to the bathroom.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, the nurse took out a nurse's uniform from a corner and handed it to her.
Wang Yuting quickly changed her clothes, and the nurse carefully helped her tidy up her hair and clothes. After making sure there were no flaws, she took her towards the west wall.
Although she was confused, she had no choice but to follow the nurse.
I took her all the way to the back door of the Western Wall, and sure enough, there was a car waiting there.
She was taken to the car by the nurse, and after the door opened, the people inside motioned for her to get in.
She hurriedly got into the car. After the car started slowly, Wang Yuting looked up and saw an unexpected person.
"Brother Mingwei, it's you!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Yuting. You've become a poor girl when we meet again."
There was a hint of mockery in Chi Mingwei's tone. Wang Yuting bit her lip, lowered her head, and asked with a trembling voice, "Did he ask you to pick me up?" She clenched her hands tightly together, waiting for Chi Mingwei's answer. Every second of waiting seemed like a century.
