Jiang Lai pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it because you are here for me that you were discharged from the hospital?"
Chi Zhan met her slightly gloomy look. He didn't want to hurt her, but he had to.
"Um."
Jiang Lai said, "Then don't leave the hospital. I'll leave."
Jiang Lai picked up her bag and left.
Chi Zhan stretched out his hand a little and then put it back into his pocket.
Chi Yi poked his head in and said, "Master, I think Miss Jiang doesn't look happy. Did you offend her?"
Chi Zhan said indifferently: "Go to Africa."
After saying that, he strode away.
Chi Yi didn't even have time to ask Yuan Qian.
Chi Wu took over Chi Yi's position and sent Chi Zhan back to his residence.
After all this tossing and turning, the clothes and the wound were a little sticky.
Chi Wu handled it carefully.
Just as I was about to apply the medicine, the doorbell rang.
Not many people can come to Chi Zhan's residence.
He gestured to Chi Wuqi to watch the door.
Chi Wu was stunned when he saw the newcomer. Thinking of Chi Yi's fate, he didn't dare to speak or move.
Chi Zhan didn't see Chi Wu come back for a long time, so he stood up and walked over.
Bumped into Jiang Lai head-on.
Needless to say, it must have been Zhou Fangxing's convenience, otherwise Jiang Lai would not have been able to come up.
"I thought I made my words clear."
Jiang Lai didn't even wash her face and quickly bought the food that Chi Zhan liked.
It's not because I hate Chi Zhan and Tu, it's just that I feel unhappy and sad.
She thought that her guilt would disappear only when Chi Zhan was injured.
"You can't eat spicy seafood right now, so I bought some sweet and sour dishes. Come and eat."
"There's sweet and sour pork that you like very much."
Chi Zhan blocked her at the door, looked at her with lowered eyelids, his brows cold and sharp.
"Jiang Lai, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Lai put the food in the entrance hall, "I'm just delivering the food. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave. Just remember to eat."
"And this injury...if Chi Wushou is more serious, I can give you..."
"Jiang Lai."
The man's voice grew even colder. "You were the one who wanted to break up. I'm letting you go. Don't seek death."
“…”
Jiang Lai is gone.
Chi Wu hid behind the door, not daring to speak or move.
Chi Zhan raised his finger and pointed at the food on the cabinet, "Throw it away."
Chi Wu threw it away immediately, and just as he picked it up, a bony hand snatched it away.
He touched his nose.
Pretending to be dead.
…
Jiang Lai returned to Lijingyuan to pack up his things and moved back to his own home.
Ruan Nanzhi saw that she looked depressed and asked, "Did Chi Zhan bully you?"
Jiang Lai shook his head. "It's my fault. Even though he took the injury for me and I felt bad and wanted to take care of him, I forgot that I was the one who insisted on breaking up. I said so many unpleasant things and forced him to stop pestering me."
"So, I should just pay for his medical expenses, as you said. There's no need to take care of him myself."
Ruan Nanzhi smiled and said, "Listen to what you said, it is full of resentment."
Jiang Lai sighed, "My ex should be as good as dead. He saved me, so I should treat him like a stranger who lived a life of sacrifice. I should pay for his medical expenses and give him compensation instead of trying to take care of him."
"What if he's on a blind date with a rich girl? It would be a disaster if there's a misunderstanding."
Ruan Nanzhi felt a little sour when she heard this, but she didn't say anything. "Don't think about it. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Jiang Lai hugged her and said, "You are still the best."
…
At the end of January, there was a heavy snowfall in Jingcheng.
It hasn't been this big in many years, as deep as the calf.
The city has begun to decorate with lights and colors. Against the white snow, the red color is clear and dazzling, like dots of red plum blossoms, which is very beautiful.
Jiang Lai and Ruan Nanzhi visited the company and distributed gifts and year-end bonuses to the employees.
As for offline stores, the year-end bonus will be doubled.
The two of them had a meal in the mall, and then returned to Lijingyuan to make a snowman with Sui Sui.
Jiang Lai grabbed some snow and touched Su Su's face, making her frown because of the cold.
She couldn't speak yet, so I patted her with my little hands.
Jiang Lai complained to Ruan Nanzhi, "Sui Sui is too much like Zhou Fang. When she frowns, it looks like she's about to deal with someone."
Ruan Nanzhi also recently discovered that Sui Sui is moving towards Zhou Fang's direction.
The little girl smiled, but evil thoughts were already brewing in her heart.
She teased Jiang Lai, "If you were a son in the future and wanted to have a relationship with my brother, you would definitely be bullied to death. Be prepared."
Jiang Lai didn't care. "As a man, you should be controlled by your wife."
After some effort, the two of them built a big snowman.
Jiang Yunshu gave Sui Sui a carrot, held her hand, and made a nose for the snowman.
Jiang Lai used grapes to make eyes, and Ruan Nanzhi wrapped a scarf around it, and a snowman was made.
Taking advantage of the snow, four women gathered around the stove on the terrace to make tea.
Jiang Lai asked Jiang Yunshu, "Aunt Shu, are you and Uncle Xiao Lan still planning your wedding?"
"Ruan Ruan can design dresses for you sometime."
Jiang Yunshu smiled and shook his head. "Why would we still want to have a wedding at our age? Let's find a time after the New Year to get the marriage certificate and then have a chat."
Jiang Lai disagreed. While eating roasted oranges, she said, "Love is always there. Age has nothing to do with holding a wedding."
Ruan Nanzhi agreed with Jiang Lai: "We can have a simple one. After all, this is your first marriage. It's just that it's delayed a little for your career."
Jiang Yunshu felt a little uncomfortable. "You two little girls, stop teasing me. Xiao Lan and I have discussed it and decided not to hold a wedding."
"We have to take wedding photos, though. With your looks, any photo will be a hit. Let's pick a scenic spot so I can take a few photos too."
Jiang Yunshu and Xiao Lan had talked about taking wedding photos.
But the details haven't been decided yet.
She said, "Let's wait and see after the New Year."
"What do you mean by wait until next year?"
Zhou Fang walked over in the snow and patted the snowman's head out of impulse, but he didn't expect it to be patted away.
Then he received dissatisfied looks from four women.
“…”
Zhou was under the gaze of four women who seemed to want to tear him into pieces.
I put the snowman's head on and found a woolen hat for him to wear.
He reached out and hugged Sui Sui, but Sui Sui slapped him in the face.
Zhou Fang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Alright, if you're unhappy, just hit me. You and your father are becoming more and more alike."
Jiang Lai gave Ruan Nanzhi a look.
Ruan Nanzhi held his forehead helplessly.
She couldn't defeat Ji Li because he was too powerful.
…
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Lai cleaned up her little home and did some decluttering.
She ate at Ruan Nanzhi's place, and the refrigerator was empty and tidied up.
She cut off the electricity, water and gas at home, locked the door and left Lijingyuan.
I bought some gifts and clothes and toys for Susu on the way.
Aunt Zhang went home for the New Year.
The New Year’s Eve dinner at home was prepared by Zhou Fang and Jiang Yunshu.
Jiang Lai and Ruan Nanzhi are really incompetent at cooking.
The two of them took Sui Sui out to play and found a movie to watch while Sui Sui was sleeping.
They had a simple lunch, and in the afternoon they learned how to make dumplings with Jiang Yunshu.
Anyway, there are all kinds of them, so just grab them all.
If it doesn't become mushy when cooked, it's rotten.
At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV.
They toasted to the new year.
Sui Sui sat on the children's chair and clinked glasses with them using her toy cup.
While waiting for the countdown, Jiang Yunshu cooked dumplings.
"Let's see who can eat the coin and make a fortune next year."
The dumplings made by Qi Wei Jiang Lai and Ruan Nanzhi are very unique, as they don’t put anything in them.
The ones Zhou Fang and Jiang Yunshu packed looked neat.
It's hard to guess, you just have to rely on luck.
Jiang Lai deliberately didn't eat much for dinner, leaving room for dumplings, and he had to eat a coin.
The first one to eat was Zhou Fang.
Jiang Lai curled his lips and said, "Boss Zhou, how can you make a fortune? Who can be richer than you?"
"Speaking of which, I'd like to interview Mr. Zhou. You have so much money to spend, aren't you worried?"
Zhou Fang flicked his thumb, and the coin spun a few times in the air before landing steadily in his palm.
He said casually and infuriatingly, "No, I'm very happy."
"This kind of happiness, don't you want it?"
“…”
Jiang Lai continued to eat dumplings. At midnight, she had to eat coins. She also wanted to make a fortune!
The second one is Ruan Nanzhi.
"I'm going to fight you two."
The third one is Jiang Yunshu.
Jiang Lai suddenly wilted.
The countdown started on TV.
Ruan Nanzhi helped her find them and poked the dumplings one by one.
Zhou Fang picked up her food with chopsticks and said jokingly, "Wife, cheating will cost you money."
“…”
Jiang Lai couldn't bear to hear this, "Ruan Ruan, don't worry about it, I can do it myself."
Ruan Nanzhi put down her chopsticks.
The countdown continued: "Four, three, two, one!"
"Happy New Year!"
“Ahhhhhh!”
Jiang Lai jumped up and said, "I ate!"
"Next year I will definitely make a fortune!"
Ruan Nanzhi gave her a thumbs up and then gave her a red envelope.
Jiang Lai pinched it and found it was very thin and hard.
"bank card?"
Ruan Nanzhi nodded, "Happy New Year, may your future days be smooth and happy."
Jiang Lai was moved and hugged her tightly: "You too."
"I didn't prepare red envelopes, but I prepared fireworks. Let's go and set off fireworks."
A group of people set out and went to the riverside.
Because it is snowing, the temperature by the river is lower.
Even the enthusiasm for setting off fireworks could not be stopped.
"It's not easy to store. I bought many kinds, but I like the fairy wand the best."
Jiang Lai gave one to Ruan Nanzhi and Jiang Yunshu, and also gave one to Sui Sui, but she didn't click on it.
Let her watch them.
Zhou put it aside and lit a big firework.
Light up the night sky instantly.
Under the dazzling fireworks, the four girls smiled happily.
Zhou Fang glanced at the black car hidden in the night not far away.
The rear window of the black sedan was fully lowered, and a wisp of white smoke dissipated in the wind.
The sound of the wind seemed to bring out the man's light yet deep and magnetic voice.
"Jiang Lai, Happy New Year."
…
After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Lai and Ruan Nanzhi returned to their work.
Jiang Yunshu and Xiao Lan decided to take their wedding photos in St. Petersburg.
At the same time, Chi Zhan worked from nine to five.
I never really got off work at 5 o'clock, it was all drinking.
Once, Chi's mother happened to see him finishing up a drinking party and being helped into the car by Chi Wu.
He put his hand on his stomach and it was obvious that he had a stomachache from drinking too much.
She asked Chi Wu to send Chi Zhan back to the Chi family and let Doctor Zhang take a look at him.
When he woke up, she said, "You don't have to attend these drinking parties."
"You're fighting like this for Jiang Lai, right?"
Chi Zhan curled his lips slightly, "I'm not a young master. I started from the grassroots level. Isn't it like this? A higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. You should understand better than me, Mom."
Mother Chi glared at him.
Chi Zhan smiled and said, "When I become as good as my dad, I can drink tea."
Mother Chi felt that Chi Zhan was still angry.
His current efforts and careful strategies are not for the Chi family.
Even though he didn't say it, she felt it.
It’s for Jiang Lai.
"Son, you finally let it go."
Chi Zhan suppressed his smile and said, "Mom, if you touch her, you will lose me too."
"It's not a threat, it's to tell you."
Mother Chi's face darkened.
"Why do you like her so much? You've only been together for a short time."
Chi Zhan had a headache and stomachache and didn't want to discuss this topic, but since it came to this, let's make it clear.
"Mom, do you feel sorry for me?"
"Nonsense, you're my son."
Chi Zhan chuckled, "You feel sorry for me, so you brought me back and asked the doctor to treat me."
"I've been drinking this wine for a few days, and you sent people to keep an eye on me. It's impossible that there's no news at all."
"But you only came to care about me when you bumped into me today."
"I'm feeling so bad, and you're still telling me about Jiang Lai and even threatening me."
"I just need to drink some warm honey water to relieve it."
"You don't even think about this. But, even when Jiang Lai was drinking with me, his parents would always give me a cup of warm honey water first."
"She knows I have an upset stomach."
“…”
Chi's mother left Chi Zhan's room and returned to her bedroom, still a little absent-minded.
I don’t even know when Chi’s father will come back.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Father Chi patted her shoulder and she came back to her senses, "What?"
"I've been talking to you for a long time, but you didn't respond. What are you thinking about?"
Mother Chi shook her head.
Father Chi asked, "Did Chi Zhan upset you?"
"no."
"Why is that? Why are you like this when he comes back tonight?"
Mother Chi pursed her lips and was silent for a while before relaying what Chi Zhan said.
Father Chi was a little surprised, "It seems that Jiang Lai can't move."
"But it's okay. As long as he agrees to marry into the Gu family, their future careers and interests will be closely linked. It's fine to keep Jiang Lai."
Chi's mother asked expressionlessly, "Is it really okay?"
