On the way back, Ji Hangcheng kept talking on the phone, and for an hour and a half, he didn't say a word to Lan Xiaotian at all.

Of course, it is precisely because he is focused on chatting with his wife that Lan Xiaotian can peep unscrupulously.

In the past, Ji Hangcheng had a little sporadic smell of tobacco, but today, he has nothing on his body except a faint smell of perfume.

The rain stopped, the destination arrived, and when the car drove into the gate of Vanke Community, Ji Hangcheng took off the Bluetooth headset on his ear, turned his head and said politely to Lan Xiaotian: "Miss Lan, it's here." ”

"Oh, good. Thank you. ”

After saying this sentence again, Lan Xiaotian didn't know which tendon was wrong, she suddenly asked Ji Hangcheng, "Why don't you smoke?"

Ji Hangcheng glanced at Lan Xiaotian, his eyes had an unknown meaning, which was quite embarrassing.

But Lan Xiaotian thought that she had already asked the question, and if she didn't know the answer, she would be embarrassed.

After waiting for a long time, just when she thought Ji Hangcheng would not answer, suddenly he spoke: "My wife is worried about my body, so I quit smoking." ”

Ji Hangcheng did not leave Yan Ziqi in three sentences, which made it difficult for Lan Xiaotian to continue the topic, she was also quite disgusted with him like this, she didn't think about it, why did it be so obvious?

"Oh, Mrs. Ji is so blessed to have met such a good man as you. ”

Lan Xiaotian said politely, and Ji Hangcheng immediately continued: "No, she met me after eight lifetimes of blood mold, and I met her after eight lifetimes." ”

Lan Xiaotian: "..."

At this moment, she didn't know what she was feeling in her heart, as if her expectations were disappointed and her heart was wandering.

"Well, then I wish you all happiness. ”

Lan Xiaotian pushed the car door and hurriedly got out of the car, because he wanted to escape too much, he suddenly twisted his ankle.

"Shhhhh

A groan of pain spilled out from between her teeth, and Lan Xiaotian frowned tightly, holding her ankle with her hand.

"Miss Lan is fine. ”

"Oh, it's fine. ”

Lan Xiaotian was just a polite sentence, where would she be fine, the pain from her ankle made her feel what it means to be piercing.

"Well, then I'll go first. ”

"Please help me close the car door. ”

“...”

Ji Hangcheng's unreasonable play surprised Lan Xiaotian, she had a feeling that this man avoided her like a snake and scorpion.

Is it necessary?

Lan Xiaotian was angry, she slammed the door shut, and then watched Ji Hangcheng's luxury car disappear.

She actually didn't know what she was angry about, what position she was angry about, but as long as she thought of Ji Hangcheng's neglect along the way, she felt her chest boiling.

Lan Xiaotian limped home, she patted the door, and soon Cheng Jie opened the door.

"I'm back and made your favorite brisket rice today. ”

Cheng Jie was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand, looking like a cook.

Lan Xiaotian didn't speak, she saw Cheng Jie dressed in home clothes in front of her, and she quickly thought of Ji Hangcheng who was driving in a suit and leather shoes just now, to be honest, the difference between the two is really big.

"Hmm. ”

Lan Xiaotian said a perfunctory sentence casually, then nodded and limped into the door.

"Xiaotian, what's wrong with your feet?"

Cheng Jie saw that Lan Xiaotian was wrong, and immediately asked with concern.

"Oh, it's okay, I came back just now and accidentally broke my foot. ”

Lan Xiaotian felt very irritable now, and she wanted to be alone for a while, but Cheng Jie's voice kept appearing in her ears, very noisy!

"Ah, is it serious, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, I don't. ”

Lan Xiaotian leaned against the wall and sat down in front of the sofa, Cheng Jie had no experience, he thought for a while, put down the spatula and took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket.

Baidu, at this time, it can only rely on the almighty Baidu.

A few minutes later, he had an answer, Cheng Jie walked into the kitchen and took out the ice pack from the freezer and came to Lan Xiaotian.

"Here, put some ice on it, or tomorrow your feet will be swollen. ”

Lan Xiaotian's ability to walk proved that her bones were not broken, and Cheng Jie's anxious heart relaxed slightly.

Lan Xiaotian looked down at Cheng Jie, who was making ice for her, in addition to feeling a warm heart, she also felt a trace of guilt.

That's right, Lan Xiaotian felt guilty, she obviously had such a good Cheng Jie, but she was distracted by other men, she was really damned.

"I'm sorry, Xiaotian!"

Lan Xiaotian didn't hold back, she bent down and hugged Cheng Jie fiercely, "Let's get married, okay?"

Lan Xiaotian is really messy now, she has been with Cheng Jie for seven years, and no man has ever been able to walk in her heart.

Until she met Ji Hangcheng, her willpower began to plummet, the feeling was like a car brake failure, she had no ability to save it at all, if she continued like this, she knew that she would definitely fall off the cliff and never recover.

"Okay, it's just that my lawyer's license hasn't been taken yet, didn't you say that if I hadn't entered the law firm, you would never marry me. ”

When Cheng Jie said this, he had a self-deprecating face, "Xiaotian, I'm sorry, I'm too stupid, if I worked hard, I might have been able to give you happiness a long time ago." ”

The more Cheng Jie was like this, the more uncomfortable Lan Xiaotian felt in her heart, and she hugged Cheng Jie for a long time and didn't speak.

That night, Lan Xiaotian had insomnia, and she wanted to ask for leave because she had a leg injury, but who knows, as soon as her leave email was sent, Lu Jian's phone called.

"Hey, leader. ”

"Lan Xiaotian, what's the matter with you? I ask for leave every day, do you still want to do this job? If you don't want to do it, just get out of here early, do you think the unit is opened by your family? You can do whatever you want?"

Lu Jian's scolding voice came into Lan Xiaotian's ears through the earpiece.

"No, leader, I broke my foot yesterday, so..."

"So what? Lan Xiaotian, don't give me a reason, now you are lying in the ambulance and you will get me to work immediately!"

"Doot toot..."

After Lu Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone very rudely, and Lan Xiaotian burst into tears on the spot.

She didn't cry because of Lu Jian's scolding, I don't know how many times this kind of thing happened today, and I have long been used to it.

She cried because she felt why life would be so difficult when she grew up, and why she was less happy once she went into society.

Lan Xiaotian propped her forehead and cried in a low voice, she felt that life was really unfair to her, why did she always have to be placed on her body one by one.

However, grievances are grievances, life cannot be treated differently because of grievances, and money does not automatically get into the wallet when a few tears are shed.

Lan Xiaotian wiped away his tears, and then took a deep breath to cheer himself up!

"Come on, Lan Xiaotian, you can, you are the best!"

"One day, you will gain a foothold in Shencheng, you will have your own big house, and you will drive the best car?"

When Lan Xiaotian finished saying this, she suddenly thought of Ji Hangcheng in her mind, thought of where he lived, thought of the car he drove, and thought that he was the chairman of the dignified Ji Group.

Then, Lan Xiaotian thought of Yan Ziqi again, she was very curious about what kind of girl could trap a man like Ji Hangcheng and make him so desperate.

After thinking about it for a while, Lan Xiaotian finally gave up dreaming, she lifted the futon and slowly lowered her legs, which had already swollen into pig's trotters, to the ground.

*

When Lan Xiaotian arrived at the unit, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and she was more than an hour late, and as soon as she finished punching in, a person suddenly appeared next to her.

"Xiaotian, you are really not afraid of death, you came later than the Great Demon King Lu. ”

It was Lan Xiaotian's male colleague who spoke, and it could be heard from his words that they had a good relationship.

“...”

Lan Xiaotian didn't respond, her stomach was full of grievances, it was good that her feet could get off the ground now, after tossing all the way, she felt more pain now.

Suddenly, she asked a familiar fragrance from the male colleague next to her, and after repeated confirmation, she smelled Ji Hangcheng's same perfume on this male colleague.

"Talking, were you scared silly?"

The male colleague felt inexplicable at Lan Xiaotian who was approaching, "What are you doing!"

"What perfume do you use?" Lan Xiaotian got straight to the point. 187

“？？？”

The male colleague was puzzled.

"Say it quickly!" Lan Xiaotian pulled the male colleague's clothes and forced him to explain.

"Oh, it's Kellian's direct access to heaven. ”

Obviously, the brand that the male colleague said is beyond Lan Xiaotian's cognition, and her cognition of men's perfume brands is limited to Dior and Armani.

"What brand is this, and where can I buy it?"

"Well, this brand is very niche, there seem to be only a few counters in China, it is quite expensive, 50 ml is 250 US dollars, my sister in foreign countries helped me buy this. ”

The male colleague explained in detail, and Lan Xiaotian asked again: "Then do you know that there is a counter of this brand in Shencheng?"

"Yes, I'll have to ask. ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Lan Xiaotian pushed the male colleague, "Help me ask and tell me!"

The male colleague was even more confused, he looked at Lan Xiaotian with an incredulous expression, "I said, Xiao Jiaomen, what kind of fortune have you made recently? People who are not even willing to buy Coke for dinner actually buy such expensive perfumes, are your brains broken?"

In the face of ridicule, Lan Xiaotian didn't explain, so she said, "I bought it for my boyfriend and asked you to take care of it." Then he struggled to hold his broken foot and walked to his station.

As soon as I sat down, the landline on the desk rang.

"Hey~"

"Lan Xiaotian, come to my office!"

It was Lu Jian, Lan Xiaotian pursed his lips and put down the phone, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly got up and walked towards Lu Jian's office by holding on to the eaves of the desk.

As soon as she entered, she felt a depressing atmosphere rushing towards her, and before she could speak, Lu Jian's scolding came as scheduled.

"Lan Xiaotian, look at what you're doing! You have been out to work for many years, how can you still make such a low-level mistake. ”

Lu Jian said and threw the document in her hand on Lan Xiaotian, she quickly picked it up and checked it, there was nothing on it, just a few blank papers.

At that moment, Lan Xiaotian understood that Lu Jian was deliberately making things difficult for her now, trying to force her to take the initiative to leave, as for the reason, it was very simple that Ji Hangcheng no longer let her treat Mianmian, and Lu Jian's chance to cling to the powerful was gone.

"Lan Xiaotian, you really disappointed me!"

"Lan Xiaotian, if you don't know how to do it, get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Although Lu Jian didn't name any of the incidents, Lan Xiaotian understood that all his grievances were directed at Ji Hangcheng.

“...”

Lan Xiaotian didn't speak, she just stood where she was and let Lu Jian say all kinds of ugly things to her, she thought that as long as she didn't reduce her treatment, she could do anything.

It's a pity, I'm afraid of something, Lan Xiaotian just finished praying, and Lu Jian's words followed: "Lan Xiaotian, this time because of you, our center assessment is the worst in the city, and now I announce that you will be transferred to logistics from tomorrow." ”

Lan Xiaotian stared at Lu Jian with wide eyes, and the meaning of that expression was: Are you fucking joking?

What the logistics department said is to serve the entire center, and what is not good is to be a nanny, Lan Xiaotian worked hard to study, take the postgraduate examination, take the certificate, and desperately enter this unit, is it just to do this kind of thing that can not mention her professional value in the slightest?

"Leader, you!"

"What am I? Lan Xiaotian, I'm the leader or you're the leader, just do it, if you don't do it, pull it down, don't look like you can't turn around if the earth leaves you all day long, you have the ability to get Ji Hangcheng, if you can, you can choose the department of this center!"

Lu Jian's words are also very straightforward, and they also fully demonstrate the cruelty of society.

Lan Xiaotian clenched her fists tightly, and for a moment she really wanted to respond chicly: "The old lady won't do it yet!"

But thinking about those countless all-nighters who stayed up all night, and the unit that fought for 365 days to be admitted, did she really have to give up so easily?

Of course, the ending is that she can't give up, Lan Xiaotian thinks that she not only can't give up, but also rises to the challenge, and if she doesn't steam steamed buns, she has to make some achievements to show Lu Jian.

"Look at it! Don't get out of here and work!"

"I'm upset when I see you!"

Lu Jian waved his hand, turned around and lit a cigarette for himself, and Lan Xiaotian left silently.

On a particularly sunny weekend, Ji Hangcheng came to the Shencheng Children's Welfare Institute with Yan Ziqi.

The purpose of their coming today is to adopt a child, because Ji Hangcheng has a special status, so the director of the welfare institute is particularly enthusiastic.

She brings a lot of kids together, from babies in swaddling clothes to preschoolers.

"Ji Dong, madam, the children of our welfare home are all here. ”

The dean stood aside, still holding a baby in his hand, "Ji Dong, you see, this child is just full-term, in good health, and all indicators are very good." ”

"Hmm. ”

Ji Hangcheng nodded, then took Yan Ziqi's hand and said, "What do you see?"

"Well, it's okay. ”

Yan Ziqi glanced at the baby in the dean's hand, to be honest, she didn't feel very eye-catching, the children in this room were the cleanest they were wearing, and they were still being held by the dean, which made people feel like they were being sold.

"Madam, you see that this child is white and clean, and healthy, if you adopt it, you will definitely have no worries, why don't you hug it?"

The dean enthusiastically sent the baby into Yan Ziqi's arms, "You hug, I'm sure you will like it." ”

"Well, wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom. ”

Yan Ziqi found an excuse and turned to leave, Ji Hangcheng wanted to chase him out but he didn't expect to be entangled by the dean and couldn't get out.

Walking out of the dean's office, Yan Ziqi let out a long breath, she felt that she was probably going to return in vain today.

Although those children were all orphans just now, they were all like very carefully packaged gifts, and Yan Ziqi felt that the children she imagined to adopt should not be like this.

She slowly descended the stairs and walked aimlessly around the orphanage.

As she walked, she suddenly saw a little boy digging sand next to the slide, and she didn't know why, just looking at the back of the child, Yan Ziqi couldn't help but stop the pace of her feet.

She stood behind the boy and watched him dig quietly in the sand, the lonely little figure making people feel pity.

He was in rags, his hair had covered his ears, and there was no one to look after him, but two nursery workers were chatting not far away.

Maybe it's because of the lack of defense, they didn't avoid Yan Ziqi when they talked.

"Eh, the sun is so nice today. ”

"Yes, it's warm and comfortable on the body, you see that the two of us will be relaxed today, just look at this sick child. ”

One of the nursery workers stretched as he spoke.

"What's easy, if he is not adopted, we will have to take care of him, I heard that the husband and wife who came today are rich people, don't you see that the children picked by the dean are all related?"

"Oh, is it?

"You don't know, some are not orphans at all, just hug the little cub in their hands, do you know who he is? I heard that he is the child of an unmarried female star and a big boss. ”

The gossip nursery seems to be very experienced and used to this kind of thing.

"Well, why was it sent to an orphanage?"

"The big boss doesn't want that woman, she is unmarried, and how can a star drag such a small oil bottle. ”

"No wonder..."

Another childcare worker who doesn't know much about it is like being opened up to a new world.

Therefore, every time she comes to adopt, the dean will personally screen it, and ordinary people like Xiao Maotou abandon a sick child, she generally will not recommend it, because there is no kickback, and others will not like a sick child. In addition, she can also enjoy a subsidy if she keeps him, of course she is happy. ”

"So that's the case, I just said how this little hairy head is taken outside every time someone comes to adopt. ”

"Well, okay, don't talk about it, there's someone over there. ”

Now why does Yan Ziqi understand that when she sees those children, she has a feeling that she has been carefully packaged.

Seriously, if she hadn't overheard about the unspoken rules of the orphanage today, she wouldn't have thought of it.

Yan Ziqi shifted her gaze to the boy, almost without hesitation, she immediately had the idea of adopting him in her heart.

It just so happened that at this time, Ji Hangcheng and the dean also walked out, and they came to Yan Ziqi's side.

"Period, I just heard from the dean that I think this little baby is good, or we will adopt him. ”

As soon as Ji Hangcheng spoke, Yan Ziqi vetoed it, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the boy who was digging sand on the edge of the slide and said, "I want to adopt him." ”

"What !!"

The dean was shocked, she followed Yan Ziqi's line of sight and glanced at the edge of the slide, "Madam, have you thought about it clearly? This kid has a bad heart, he is sick!"
