Chapter 24 Who is it that makes you so heartbroken and drowning your sorrows in alcohol?
"Mrs. Fu, you..."
Jiang Ranxing sighed and said, "Mr. Wen, please call me by my name. The name Mrs. Fu sounds exhausting."
Wen Qingrang's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not obey.
"Mrs. Fu, you don't look too well. How about we have a drink together to relax and not talk about business?"
Jiang Ranxing wanted to refuse him: "No need, I need to go back..."
"Mrs. Fu, there's no need to rush to refuse. Don't feel pressured. Just treat me as a friend. I'd like to have a drink with you anyway."
Wen Qingrang's words were tactful, clearly giving people a way out.
Jiang Ranxing thought about it and decided it didn't matter. There was nothing between her and Wen Qingrang, and she had a clear conscience.
Is it possible that because of Fu Shenyuan's so-called status as Mrs. Fu, she is not allowed to have normal interactions with people?
"Alright, Mr. Wen, please choose a place."
The place Wen Qingrang chose for drinking was quite fitting for his personality.
A Japanese izakaya, the kind that's expensive but not crowded.
It's mainly wealthy people or those with a middle-class lifestyle who want some peace and quiet.
After sitting down, Jiang Ranxing downed two glasses of wine.
Wen Qingrang could only quickly stop her: "Mrs. Fu, no matter how heartbroken you are for Shen Yuan, you can't drink like this."
Jiang Ranxing looked at him and said, "How do you know I'm sad because of Fu Shenyuan? Can't it be because of something else?"
Wen Qingrang simply smiled and took a sip of wine.
As Jiang Ranxing drank, it felt as if she was swallowing not wine, but her bitter tears.
Jiang Ranxing said quietly, "Yes, I am heartbroken because of what happened between me and Fu Shenyuan, but I am also heartbroken for myself, for the feelings I have invested over the years."
Wen Qingrang was willing to be a listener at this moment.
He sat down next to Jiang Ranxing and listened quietly to the woman speak.
"You heard what Fu Shenyuan said about me. In his eyes, I am inferior to Lin Xuesha in every way. Lin Xuesha is excellent and dazzling in his eyes."
"And I..."
Jiang Ranxing smiled and shook his head.
If we think about it the way everyone sees it, Lin Xuesha is better than her.
Over the years, Lin Xuesha has gained Fu Shenyuan's love and support.
Lin Xuesha's career is thriving, and she has gained a certain degree of fame abroad.
As for her, she has been nothing more than a housewife whose life revolves around her family all these years.
What I care about every day is no longer my favorite and most talented design.
It's no longer my own business.
She only cared about Fu Shenyuan's whereabouts, whether he was happy, and whether he was doing well—these were just everyday trivia.
She completely revolved around Fu Shenyuan.
Looking back now, Jiang Ranxing wonders what she has accomplished over the years besides satisfying her desire to give.
On the contrary, Fu Shenyuan did not cherish her efforts and took them for granted.
Not to mention Fu Xingyi, who doesn't care about her at all and only knows how to please Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing asked again, as if talking to himself.
"Tell me, is it really wrong to love someone, want to be with them, and want to make sacrifices for them?"
She only loves Fu Shenyuan; she has only fallen in love with one person.
But Fu Shenyuan doesn't love her, so does that mean she deserves this fate?
Jiang Ranxing herself couldn't explain it, and she couldn't find a standard answer.
Love is the thing that is least fair.
It makes absolutely no sense.
Wen Qingrang said, "I can't comment on the relationship between Mrs. Fu and Shen Yuan, but I can say for sure that Shen Yuan doesn't love Mrs. Fu. He loves Lin Xuesha."
The fact that everyone already knew was laid bare before Jiang Ranxing once again.
Jiang Ranxing drank two more glasses of wine.
She felt so tired that she just wanted to lie there and never get up again.
The wine in the shop didn't make you drunk at first, but it had a strong aftereffect, and Jiang Ranxing felt dizzy and disoriented.
She thought she could hear Wen Qingrang talking to her from the side.
"Since it's so painful, why not leave? Since Fu Shenyuan has caused you pain, you should return that pain to him..."
Jiang Ranxing, who was behind, couldn't hear clearly either.
When Jiang Ranxing woke up again, he saw Mia.
Mia said, "Sister, you're awake! You drank a lot of alcohol and slept for a long time."
Jiang Ranxing asked in confusion, "How did I get here?"
"Oh, is that so? Someone called me and said you were drunk, so I came to pick you up and take you back to the studio to rest."
It should be Wen Qingrang.
Wen Qingrang was actually quite kind.
"By the way, Mia, I have the drawings provided by Wen Qingrang, and I'm quite satisfied with them, but I haven't agreed to Wen Qingrang's request yet. We'll have a meeting to discuss it later."
"Alright, sis, you just woke up, don't think about work anymore. Let's go get some breakfast, we'll talk more when we get back."
Mia pulled Jiang Ranxing along and started walking out of the studio.
Mia didn't care about the Wen family at this moment; her real goal was to take Jiang Ranxing out to dinner.
After breakfast, Jiang Ranxing finally recovered and regained his energy.
Just as she was about to return to the studio with Mia, her phone rang.
It was the phone number Fu Xingyi often used to call her.
Jiang Ranxing took the phone and asked, "What's wrong, Yiyi?"
"Madam, it's me."
The person on the other end of the phone wasn't Fu Xingyi, but the nanny.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Yiyi?" Jiang Ranxing immediately became anxious.
The nanny whispered, "No, no, Madam, don't be nervous, the young master is fine."
Jiang Ranxing breathed a sigh of relief: "So you called me for something else?"
The nanny said, "Yes, madam, it's like this. Your mother brought your younger brother to the villa, and coincidentally, the master and Miss Lin are here too. The villa is..."
Jiang Ranxing suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the other end of the phone, which the nanny had turned on.
The nanny added, "Madam, you should come back to the villa when you have time. I'm afraid the situation isn't very good."
Jiang Ranxing said, "Okay, I'll go back now. You take Yiyi back to his room first, and don't let him come out. Protect him."
"Don't worry, Madam, I will ensure the young master's safety."
Jiang Ranxing dared not waste any more time or hesitate. After informing Mia, he immediately took the car keys, went to the garage, and drove back to the villa.
Green Mountain Villa.
Jiang Huanchen and his mother Xu Qinghe came to see Jiang Ranxing today.
Ever since Jiang Ranxing and Jiang Huanchen had that phone call, Jiang Huanchen has been dissatisfied with his sister.
He was still angry. His sister had really lost her mind. Not only did she refuse to give him some money, but she also yelled at him.
Xu Qinghe was also furious. In addition, Jiang Ranxing really didn't send any money this time, so she had to come and settle accounts with this brat!
Jiang Huanchen and Xu Qinghe arrived at the villa and swaggered into the living room.
Jiang Huanchen shouted, "Butler! Where's the butler! Can't you see your wife's family has arrived? How can you be so inconsiderate? Hurry up and come serve them!"
Jiang Huanchen's tone was not good at all; on the contrary, it was very rude and showed no respect whatsoever.
The butler's scalp tightened at the sound, and although he was unwilling, he respectfully walked over.
"Mr. Jiang and Madam Jiang, please have a seat. I will have someone serve you tea shortly."
Xu Qinghe sat on the sofa and immediately put on the airs of a wealthy lady.
"Remember to serve us the best and most expensive tea. If it's not good, I'll fire you all."
