Chi Zhan's eyes and brows instantly turned cold.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Lai asked when she saw that he looked unhappy.
Chi Zhan put away his phone and shook his head, "I'll send you back first."
Just then, Ruan Nanzhi called.
Jiang Lai went to pick her up.
As soon as they met, Ruan Nanzhi asked nervously, "What happened? Why did you call the emergency number?"
Jiang Lai held her hand and explained, "Don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding. Chi Zhan has already resolved it."
When they got to the car, Chi Zhan didn't get in, and told Chi Wu to send them back safely.
Jiang Lai let Ruan Nanzhi get in the car first. She looked at Chi Zhan without saying a word.
Chi Zhan stretched out his hand, scratched his brow with his index finger, and finally told the truth.
"Wen Zhaoqing is here."
Jiang Lai was familiar with the name "Wen Zhaoqing" but couldn't remember it for a moment.
However, she had heard of the surname "Wen".
"A member of the Wen family?"
Chi Zhan nodded, "The person in power has had a quarrel with my father."
Jiang Lai widened his eyes.
Wouldn't that mean you have already entered the top circle?
"Are you coming to Jingcheng to inspect the work?"
"I guess the focus of work will have to be shifted here."
Chi Zhan said, and then said: "I'll go and confirm, Huo Qinghuai is waiting for me."
…
The car drove away slowly and Chi Zhan got into another car.
On this side, Ruan Nanzhi also heard it and told Jiang Lai.
"When I came here, Zhou Fang told me about Wen Zhaoqing."
Jiang Lai asked, "How old is he?"
"Forty-five."
"What does your wife do?"
"single."
Jiang Lai was shocked, "Still single at this age?"
Ruan Nanzhi nodded, "But there seems to be a rumor recently that he has met with the Jiang family in Shenzhen."
"Does he still need a strong alliance? Even if he wants to rise, he has to wait until he's older, right?"
"But Chi Zhan will rise rapidly, so he should come here to pave the way for the younger generations in the family, and these younger generations can become his son's right-hand men in the future."
Jiang Lai felt a headache after hearing this. "It's too complicated."
Ruan Nanzhi smiled, "You don't have to participate, but you have to understand, at least know who your partner's enemy is, so as not to be deceived."
"I understand this. I won't hold Chi Zhan back."
Ruan Nanzhi saw that Jiang Lai's smile was much more sincere and she was happy from the bottom of her heart, so she was happy too.
"I also looked down on some of Chi Zhan's previous behavior, but to be honest, his love for you is pure. For your safety, he also took a big detour. Right now, he is protecting you very well. Don't worry, just live your life as usual."
Speaking of this, Jiang Lai sighed.
"I'm still causing him trouble. If it were Sheng Lingxue or Gu Qingci, they would probably be more useful to him than me."
"That won't happen." Ruan Nanzhi shook her head. "Sheng Lingxue ended up in the hands of the Wen family. The Sheng family couldn't find someone on their own, so they had to ask the Chi family for help."
"If Gu Qingci hadn't been held as a bargaining chip by Chi Zhan, he would have already fallen into the hands of the Wen family."
Jiang Lai shuddered, "Gu Qingci is still in Chi Zhan's hands?"
Ruan Nanzhi nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Lai paused, as if he was about to grow a brain.
"That's... for me?"
"right."
“…”
Ruan Nanzhi held Jiang Lai's hand and said, "I am definitely on your side, but Chi Zhan is doing these things seriously. I can't deliberately discredit him or hide it from you. You are an adult and have more experience in relationships than me. I believe you can make your own judgment."
"As for me, I still say the same thing. No matter what decision you make, I will support you. If you need help and support, I will be here too."
Jiang Lai took a while to digest this. "In other words, the Wen family actually wants the Chi family to be left alone. Chi Zhan used this to create a protective circle for me."
"Is the Wen family taking action now because they saw Chi Zhan's ability and started making plans and taking precautions?"
Ruan Nanzhi nodded.
Jiang Lai scratched his head, "What can I do?"
“Live well and work hard.”
“How can this help him?”
Ruan Nanzhi smiled and said, "Protect yourself. This is very important. You must be careful."
Jiang Lai pouted, "I'm not that stupid."
Then she sighed, "Choose your own path, and finish it even if you have to kneel."
Ruan Nanzhi tilted his head, "Just hearing that makes you think he's the one."
"Then what else can I do? I can't get rid of him, and since he's so good to me, I'll just let him be."
Jiang Lai glanced at Chi Wu and continued, "As long as he doesn't break up with me, I won't break up with him again."
call out--
While waiting for the red light, Chi Wu recorded this and sent it to Chi Zhan.
Chi Zhan closed his eyes, his dark eyes tinged with smile.
Even his usually cold and handsome face was smiling.
Huo Qinghuai, who was standing opposite him, looked at him angrily and said, "Can you stop being so worthless?"
Chi Zhan put away his phone, without even looking at him, took a sip of tea, and slowly uttered two words: "Don't be sour."
“…”
Huo Qinghuai gritted his teeth in anger, "Don't show off. You don't even know how you died."
"Gu Qingci can't be her shield for the rest of her life, and Wen Zhaoqing is not stupid. He wouldn't not know who the person dearest to you is."
Chi Zhan hummed, "It doesn't matter if I know, he can't touch it."
Huo Qinghuai really couldn't stand seeing him being so lovesick.
"When Wen Zhaoqing didn't have a wife, you had no problem dating Jiang Lai. Now that Wen Zhaoqing and the Jiang family are about to get married, you still lost a move."
"I'll definitely be able to deal with him in the future."
Chi Zhan replied calmly: "No."
“…”
Huo Qinghuai was speechless at his confidence in him.
But one has to admit that he does have a good brain.
…
Jiang Lai and Ruan Nanzhi first ate local specialties, and then went to a place to learn Suzhou embroidery.
They waited until eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was not until Chi Zhan came to pick up Jiang Lai that they realized how late it was.
"Want to have a midnight snack?" Chi Zhan asked.
They had breakfast in the afternoon and were really hungry now.
Found a barbecue stall.
Jiang Lai watched Chi Zhan wipe the table and asked, "Is it okay for you to sit here and eat, Master?"
Chi Zhan threw away the tissue, a faint smile on his lips, "I just like to be clean, my fiancée, please don't make a big deal out of it."
Jiang Lai, "So what you mean is that I don't like to be clean anymore?"
Chi Zhan wiped the table in front of her and scalded the dishes for her with hot water.
Hearing this, he chuckled, "It's enough to have a clean person at home."
Jiang Lai glanced at him.
Ruan Nanzhi was pouring water, and seeing how disgusted they were, she almost poured the hot water on her own hands.
Suddenly, a hand with distinct joints supported her and took the teapot.
She had seen the wrist bone, she gave the watch.
You know who it is without even looking.
Zhou Fang didn't care and just sat down.
It was Ruan Nanzhi who heated the dishes for him and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come over?"
Jiang Lai teased, "Mr. Zhou, you are too clingy."
Zhou Fang leaned back in his chair, put one hand on Ruan Nanzhi's back, and said casually, "We are a serious couple. You really should pay attention to the impact."
Chi Zhan retorted: "If you don't love me, don't try to show off."
Zhou Fang: "Only unmarried people are qualified to talk to me."
"That's enough." Jiang Lai and Ruan Nanzhi said at the same time, "It's the same, no one should say anything."
Zhou Fang is not someone who can shut up easily.
"Don't forget, you owe me a bet. Be careful with your words. If I ask you to do something, don't blame me for not giving you face."
Fall in love, get married, and have children.
Zhou Fang got ahead of him.
