Chapter 17: In the North City, she is homeless
At seven o'clock in the evening, Drunken Bamboo Xuan.
"Mom, I don't want to go on a blind date with that young master of the Rong family, he looks far worse than my brother!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao puffed out her delicate and beautiful little face, looking reluctant, her mother Du Qin said all the good things, and even coaxed her daughter to go in together, and said with a smile: "Look at what stupid things you said, looking at the entire Beicheng, can you find out which man is better than your brother's appearance?" This Rong Shao is dignified, and the Rong family is also good friends with our Jiang family, can your own mother push you into the fire pit? Good daughter, little ancestor, even if we have a meal with the Rong family, it's better to get to know each other without falling in love. β
"Mom, I'm still young, so I don't need to go on a blind date for ...... time being"
"You're twenty-two, look at that Jiang Ci, when you were twenty-two years old, everyone hugged your brother's thigh, when it came to this Jiang Ci, I was angry, I will let them leave as soon as I catch up with Ming'er, which point is she worthy of our family Jing Zhan!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, and she saw a familiar female figure coming in at the door, "Mom, don't you see that Jiang Ci?" β
Du Qin looked in the direction her daughter pointed out, and was slightly stunned: "It's really her, what is she doing here?" β
"Hell, my brother isn't at home, she shouldn't have come here to date a wild man!"
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao's words fell, a young man really appeared at the door and talked to Jiang Ci.
Du Qin's eyes widened, "She really came to steal Qing!" β
"Mom, I know this man, this man is the ex-boyfriend Jiang Ci dated before! The two of them are still in touch! β
Du Qin was angry and was about to go up to "catch the rapist", Jiang Xiaoxiao grabbed her mother's arm, "Mom, let's not startle the snake for the time being, anyway, we are also eating here, and when we catch them later, they will have nothing to say, when we have the handle of Jiang Ci in our hands, it is not simple to force Jiang Ci to divorce my brother?" β
"Daughter, you're right, hurry up and take a picture."
Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately took out her mobile phone and took several photos of Jiang Ci's tryst with Lu Xinghan.
β¦β¦
Here, Jiang Ci never expected that he would meet Lu Xinghan in Zuizhuxuan, and he didn't expect that the young and promising student in Zhuo Hang's mouth turned out to be Lu Xinghan.
Master Zhuo Hang has not yet arrived, and there are only two people in the Accord private room, Jiang Ci and Lu Xinghan.
Lu Xinghan broke the quiet atmosphere, "Why did you marry Jiang Jingzhan in the first place?" β
He asked a matter of course, straightforward, like a question, but in Jiang Ci's ears, it became sarcasm.
"You're not qualified to ask me that."
Lu Xinghan pursed his thin lips, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I won't ask about this." Change the topic, Jiang Jingzhan is messing around outside all day long, he treats you so badly, why don't you leave him? β
Jiang Ci's eyes looked coldly at his gentle but secretly angry handsome face, "I can't leave him, what does it have to do with Senior Brother Lu?" β
"Little wordsβ"
"Click-"
At the same time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Zhuo Hang came in with a briefcase.
"Little words, Xinghan, you've all arrived, the road is a little jammed, I'm a little late, but it looks like you're ...... Already acquainted? β
Lu Xinghan glanced at her, hooked the corners of his lips and said to Zhuo Hang: "Teacher, you forgot, Jiang Ci and I are alumni, and we are old acquaintances, in the past, in the law department, there were many classmates who thought that we were talented and beautiful, and we were a good match, Senior Sister Jiang, I was right?" β
Jiang Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to hide the panic and embarrassment at the bottom of his eyes.
Zhuo Hang's meaningful gaze wandered back and forth between the two young men, and he said with a smile: "Oh? Is it? Then it seems that the two of you are really fateful. β
"Teacher, we haven't ordered yet, let's order food quickly."
"Okay, okay, order first."
Jiang Ci's mobile phone rang, and she picked up her phone as if she had been pardoned: "Master, I'll go out to answer the phone first." β
β¦β¦
In the corner of the safe passage, Jiang Ci said into the phone: "Xiao Yu, can you stop being unreasonable, I will remit the remaining 900,000 to you as soon as possible, but this is not a small amount, give me a little time to raise money, okay?" β
"Sister, am I not giving you time? It's the creditors who won't give me time! I won't be able to hide for long, and if you can't raise any more money, I'll be caught by those guys soon! Sister, they are black, if I don't pay the money, do you know what they will do to me? β
Jiang Ci closed his eyes, took a deep breath and reproached: "Since you know that they are not easy to mess with, why did you want to give usury in the first place?" β
"When you were in school, you loved to eat dragon fruit, so your parents always only remembered buying dragon fruit, but never remembered that the other daughter loved bananas. You said in front of them that you would take care of me, and now that I have made a mistake, are you going to watch me be killed? β
"Xiao Yu, I know that my family owes you all these years, but can you be more mature......"
Jiang Ci didn't know how long he had been arguing with Jiang Yu, Jiang Ci was physically and mentally exhausted, and when he walked out of the staircase of the safe passage with his mobile phone, he bumped into Lu Xinghan who was leaning against the corner with his arms in his arms.
She was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned cold: "I didn't see that Senior Brother Lu, as a lawyer, likes to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls so much." β
Lu Xinghan stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, "Your sister borrowed money from you, since you can't solve it, why don't you open up to me?" β
Jiang Ci only felt funny, "Talking to you?" Mr. Lu, who are you? β
"Okay, I'm not you, what about Jiang Jingzhan? He's your husband, why doesn't he help you? β
Jiang Ci bit his lip and pinched his fingers on the phone, gradually turning white.
Lu Xinghan stared at her for a moment, "Let me help you say, because Jiang Jingzhan doesn't treat you as his wife at all, and he has never taken you in his eyes, I've seen his news recently, Xiaozi, he has already had children with other women, when will you still be obsessed?" β
"Whether I want to divorce Jiang Jingzhan or not, that's my business!"
Jiang Ci waved away his shackles, Lu Xinghan stood in front of her, staring down at her: "Xiao Ci, come and work in my law firm, if you don't accept me to give you 900,000 directly, just let me advance your salary, and you can pay me back slowly in the future." β
Jiang Ci laughed, "Is this your charity, or is it your guilt for me?" β
"Neither. As a friend, I can do what I can, and you need this money now, don't you? The gang of people your sister provoked, they can't see the money, they can do anything, and it's not impossible to remove one of her arms and legs. β
Jiang Ci's heart pounded, his fists clenched, "Are you threatening me that I have to accept your help?" β
"Little words, I haven't seen you for two years, why have you become so prickly? I'm just worried about you, okay? β
Jiang Ci raised his legs, which seemed to be filled with lead, and walked out of the corner, retaining the last trace of self-esteem: "I will return 900,000 to you." β
β¦β¦
Jiang Ci drank several glasses of red wine at the dinner table, no one forced her to drink it, she couldn't help but drink a few glasses herself.
Zhuo Hang was in a good mood and drank a lot, but Lu Xinghan did not drink a drop of wine, and finally, when the dinner was over, Lu Xinghan sent Zhuo Hang and Jiang Ci home.
Lu Xinghan sent Zhuo Hang home first, and when Lu Xinghan returned to the car, Jiang Ci was already lying on the back seat and talking in a daze.
Lu Xinghan glanced at her when she was drunk from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help laughing, she was much cuter when she was drunk than when she was sober.
"Xiaozi, where do you live, I'll send you back."
Jiang Cihe laughed twice, "Home? My home is in Bac Ha Town......"
"I mean the home of the North City."
"Northtown......? I'm in the North Side...... Hehe...... No home! No home......"
Lu Xinghan's hand holding the steering wheel stiffened slightly.
It seems that Jiang Jingzhan treats her really badly.
The people in the back seat started talking again.
"Xiao Yu...... Give my sister a little more time...... 900,000 ...... 900,000 will definitely help you raise ...... Give me a little more time...... My sister's job is gone...... Give me a little more time...... Give me a little more time......"
Lu Xinghan's heart seemed to be suddenly hit by some heavy object.
In the past two years, Jiang Ci's life has not been easy.
He spun the wheel around and drove towards his apartment.
