Chapter 173: Lying
Xie Yansheng touched his hot cheeks, and saw Wen Lan's gaze becoming deeper and deeper.
Wen Lan's right palm was slightly red, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of mockery.
"My mother slapped you, I've already paid it back, and you're not leaving?" Xie Yansheng said in a low voice, twisting his eyebrows and pulling out a cigarette.
Wen Lan was stimulated by Xie's mother saying that she was pestering Xie Yansheng, and she had no plans to leave for the time being.
Her gaze moved from Xie Yansheng's band-aided forehead to Xie Mu in the back, with a light smile, "Mrs. Xie, now that Xie Yansheng and I are both parties, you can ask Xie Yansheng, how did the injury on his forehead come about?"
"Bang", the lighter in Xie Yansheng's hand rang, and the white mist soon filled his thin lips.
"You caused the wound of the feast?" Mother Xie was furious the moment she saw Wen Lan slapping Xie Yansheng, and sharply accused, "You are really an out-and-out! It's a good thing that Yan Sheng divorced you, otherwise—"
"Before you know the truth of the matter, please don't jump to conclusions." Wen Lan looked at Xie Yansheng playfully, "Mr. Xie—didn't you tell Mrs. Xie about the injury you suffered last night?"
Mother Xie knew her son well, and when she thought that An Zhen was still listening, she was so angry that her face turned red.
Xie Yan flicked the ashes of his cigarettes, his expression was as usual, and he didn't seem to care about Wen Lan's shortcomings in revealing him.
"Since Mr. Xie doesn't want to say it, then let me say it. Last night, without my permission, Mr. Xie not only entered my apartment, but also tried to get into my bed, and I smashed it with a glass of water before he came down."
Wen Lan said as he looked at An Zhen not far away.
"You vixen! Get out of here!" Mother Xie was afraid that Wen Lan would disturb Xie Yansheng and An Zhen's happy marriage, so she hurriedly shouted.
"If I hadn't come to get my clothes, I wouldn't have set foot in this place for the rest of my life." Wen Lan's voice was cold, and he walked out of the Xie family's old house without hurrying.
Mother Xie was still angry, and covered her heart to comfort An Zhen, "That woman is the best at reversing right and wrong, and she came to the old mansion today to separate the relationship between you and Yansheng. If you believe, you fall for her."
"Auntie, don't worry, I won't be fooled by a few words from outsiders." An Zhen's eyes seemed calm, but in fact, the waves were rolling.
Xie Yansheng threw a cigarette on the ground before he finished his cigarette, and turned back to the main building without looking back.
Wen Lan drove out of the Xie family's old house, and the anger in his heart quickly disappeared.
Although Xie Yansheng slapped Xie Yansheng for his mother, she had already clarified that she was pestering Xie Yansheng in front of An Zhen.
Twenty minutes later, Wen Lan came to the largest supermarket in Jiangcheng.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the supermarket is festive, full of people, and very lively.
This is the first time she has spent the New Year alone, because her cooking skills are too poor, most of the products she chooses are semi-finished products, and there are more than ten bags of dumpling buns and siu mai alone.
When she was pushing the shopping cart and queuing up to check out, a childish palm suddenly landed on her shoulder.
Then, Jiang Guan's voice shouting "Sister Lan" came from behind her.
turned around, and she took a look at Jiang Jingci's father and son.
"What a coincidence, you're also here to buy New Year's goods." Jiang Jingci smiled decently, as if the previous unpleasantness had not happened.
Today's Jiang Jingci is wearing a black coat, with a gray cashmere sweater and trousers with a good texture inside, because of his tall height and outstanding temperament, he is very eye-catching in the crowd.
Wen Lan didn't dare to look at Jiang Jingci at all, and his eyes fell on Jiang Guan, who was wearing Bluetooth headphones and chewing gum, "Handsome guy, I haven't seen you for a few days."
"Sister Lan, it's so boring to spend the holiday alone, why don't you come to my house to partner this year?" Jiang Guan has a pair of eyes that are very similar to Jiang Jingci, and when he smiled slightly, he wanted to squint.
Wen Lan immediately shook his head, "I've been in a bad mood lately, so I won't bother your father and son."
"My family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner every year is cooked by the chef of 'No. 9', which is hearty and delicious. Sister Lan is really sure not to come and try it?" Jiang Guan tilted his head, still not giving up.
"I, most likely, won't spend the New Year in Jiangcheng." Wen Lan guessed that Jiang Jingci asked Jiang Guan to ask, and lied, "I want to."
Go to another city and see an old friend I haven't seen in years."
Jiang Guan let out an "oh" in disappointment, and quietly glanced at Jiang Jingci beside him.
The displeasure on Jiang Jingci's face flashed, and he stared at Wen Lan with a smile, "I just selected a lot of fresh ingredients, why don't you go to 'Qiushuitai' for lunch together?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Jiang, I made an appointment with a friend." Wen Lan continued to lie.
"Okay, next time." Jiang Jingci knew that she was lying, but he didn't expose it to her face, so she could only accompany her smiling face. Look at the book
"Sister Lan is really not interesting!" Jiang Guan began to feel sorry for Jiang Jingci, "Lao Jiang came to buy vegetables in person today, just to ask you to come to my house for dinner. I didn't expect to meet it in the supermarket, you can't be a favor, today is Lao Jiang's-"
"Shut up, you kid! Wait for me in the car first." Jiang Jingci said as he handed the car keys to Jiang Guan.
Jiang Guan took it, threw down the sentence "You guys have a good chat", and ran out of the supermarket with a hippie smile.
Ever since he knew Jiang Jingci's thoughts, Wen Lan felt embarrassed every time he was alone with him.
But now, the queue waiting for the checkout in front of her was still very long, and she had to stand under Jiang Jingci's nose.
"Mr. Jiang is also on vacation?" She didn't have anything to say.
"In the next two days, I will go to Beijing to finish the work, and this year's work will come to an end." Jiang Jingci's angular face flashed with a gentle smile, "Next year, I will reduce the workload in Shangjing, and I will stay in Jiangcheng for a longer time."
These words obviously had nothing to do with him, but Wen Lan heard that something was wrong.
She said "um" in a voice that only she could hear, pulled out her phone and looked.
"According to Lao Li's feedback from Jiacheng, I feel that your aunt is not in Jiacheng." Jiang Jingci's words successfully attracted her attention.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, don't work hard Brother Li anymore." After she glanced at Jiang Jingci gratefully, she quickly turned her gaze away, "It should be that my news is wrong, and it has caused unnecessary trouble to you and Brother Li, I'm really sorry."
Since she met Jiang Jingci, she has nothing but gratitude.
If Jiang Jingci hadn't revealed her heart too early, maybe now, she would still regard Jiang Jingci as a friend.
But now it seems that Jiang Jingci is very obsessed, and if she continues to treat Jiang Jingci as a friend, it is tantamount to deceiving herself.
"You're so kind." Jiang Jingci's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he muttered darkly, "Every time you see me now, you can't wait to hide away. In the past few days, I have been reflecting on whether I said something that should not be said in Kacheng, but after thinking about it, I don't feel that I am wrong. Or, if I say something wrong and you get angry, you point it out to me, and I'll change it right away."
