Chapter 174: Secret
Wen Lan didn't expect Jiang Jingci to blame himself, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang is a decent person, he has always spoken and acted decently, and he didn't say anything wrong."
"Then why are you avoiding me and giving me a reason?" Jiang Jingci was not fooled by her words.
At this moment, the two were still queuing up to check out, and Wen Lan noticed that the customers in front and behind were already listening, so he chose to be silent.
Jiang Jingci, who didn't get an answer, continued to ask in a low voice: "I just want to fall in love and start a marriage, right?"
"That's right." She was forced by Jiang Jingci to show her attitude again and lowered her voice, "There are so many women in Jiangcheng, you shouldn't hit me with your idea."
Jiang Jingci was rejected again, his face was slightly sad, but he still said patiently: "If you don't even give me a chance to socialize, turn me away, and I won't turn a blind eye."
Speaking of this, Wen Lan didn't know how to take it down.
At this time, Wen Zuming's voice shouted "aunt", breaking the embarrassment between the two.
Before Wen Lan could see which direction the little guy ran out from, he grabbed the placket of his clothes and shook it, "Auntie! It's been a long time since I've seen you, have you missed me?"
Wen Lan still had a little love for this nephew, so he hurriedly let go of the shopping cart and reached out to hug Wen Zuming.
Although Wen Zuming was only nine years old, he was very strong, and Wen Lan didn't even pick him up.
"Of course my aunt misses you." Wen Lan touched his fleshy little face and hurriedly asked, "Who are you coming with?"
"My mom brought me here, and she met a friend and was chatting!" Wen Zuming took Wen Lan's hand and muttered unhappily, "My father's company was about to go bankrupt a while ago, and my mother has also become picky and searching, and she won't buy me anything!"
Wen Lan felt a pity in his heart, and took his hand and went straight to the toy area, "Let's see if there is a favorite toy?" It's going to be the New Year, and my aunt will give you a New Year's gift."
"Wow! Thank you, Auntie!" Wen Zuming danced happily and looked at the toy area.
Wen Lan glanced at the cashier counter and found that it was Jiang Jing's turn, and he didn't take it seriously.
Because, she has already pulled her shopping cart to the food area.
"Auntie, I heard from grandma that you and your uncle are divorced. Now my uncle won't give you money to spend, if I buy toys that are too expensive, will my aunt be able to pay the bill?"
Wen Zuming stared at a set of four-digit car models and asked cautiously.
"If you like it, go get it." Wen Lan touched his little brain melon and encouraged him with a smile.
He stood on tiptoe, took down the box containing the model car, hugged it tightly, and happily spun around the same place several times.
When Wen Lan was about to take him to the checkout, he casually asked, "Your dad has been very busy lately, right?"
"I'm so busy that I can't stay home! A while ago, I always went to Beijing to raise funds, and in the past two days, I have been going to Hong Kong City again." Wen Zuming pouted, "He hasn't gone out with me for a long time."
"What is your dad doing in Hong Kong City?" Wen Lan asked curiously.
Because, she has never heard of Wen Jinyin's industry in Hong Kong City.
"Hong Kong City seems toβ" Wen Zuming was stunned as he spoke, and looked around before making a gesture of "put your ear to it" to Wen Lan.
Wen Lan hurriedly bent down to cooperate.
"There is a woman in Hong Kong City who has been sick for many years, she is a relative of our family, and now she seems to be dying-" Wen Zuming's voice came into Wen Lan's ears, and Wen Lan seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Because she immediately remembered Ji Minxin.
"This is something I overheard while my grandmother and my dad were chatting in the study. They didn't allow me to tell anyone, or they confiscated my phone. Auntie, don't tell anyone!"
Wen Zuming whispered and begged Wen Lan, who was lost and depressed.
Wen Lan's body trembled, and it took a full five minutes for Wen Lan to hold the shelves full of toys tightly with one hand.
"It's a little secret between us, and my aunt won't tell you about it."
Wen Lan had already found an opportunity to find Ji Minxin in Wen Zuming, and squeezed out a pale smile.
"Auntie is now giving you a task,
Find the woman's full address in Port City, but not by Grandma's father and mother. How about my aunt reward you with two more sets of higher-grade toys?"
"All I want is one set - Star Wars Millennium Falcon LEGO bricks!" Wen Zuming heard that there was a toy to take, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Absolutely." Wen Lan responded quickly, but was still a little worried, "Be careful when you inquire about the news for your aunt, don't expose yourself."
"Don't worry, I often watch spy movies, and I still have this common sense." Wen Zuming patted his chest and responded.
"Auntie knows you're the best, waiting for good news." Wen Lan led him to find his shopping cart before paying the bill.
She was told by the tally clerk that her shopping cart had been pushed to the cashier by a tall man.
She immediately guessed that it was Jiang Jingci.
Sure enough, Jiang Jingci was waiting for her outside the cash register, and there were several shopping bags of different sizes beside her.
"Your stuff is here." After Jiang Jingci saw Wen Lan, he waved at her and greeted her.
Out of politeness, Wen Lan thanked him and handed Wen Zuming's car model to the cashier.
"Two thousand one hundred and eighteen!" The cashier's words fell, and Wen Lan had already shown the payment QR code.
At the moment when the receipt came out, Wen Zuming held the car model box in his arms again and kept saying "Thank you, auntie".
"Zu Ming, where did you go, let my mother find it easily!" Du Yan's anxious voice came from behind them.
"A New Year's gift from my aunt!" Wen Zuming smiled and patted the car model box, "My aunt loves me more than you and my father!"
Now Wen Lan is no longer Mrs. Xie, Du Yan feels that there is no need to pretend, and sneered, "Don't think that the Wen family will go bankrupt without Xie Yansheng!" I really didn't expect that you were also raised by the Wen family, but you are so cold-blooded!"
Wen Lan was silent.
Du Yan put on a straight face, took Wen Zuming's hand and left the supermarket.
Wen Zuming kept looking back at Wen Lan and told Wen Lan with an exaggerated mouth: "Wait for my good news."
Wen Lan smiled at the corners of his lips and waved at him frequently until the figures of the two disappeared at the exit.
Jiang Jingci, who was watching this scene coldly, was completely in full view.
Wen Zuming's words echoed in Wen Lan's ears repeatedly, and when she walked in front of Jiang Jingci, she was completely absent-minded.
Jiang Jingci had already bent down to pick up all the shopping bags, and said softly, "Let's go to the parking lot first."
Only then did she come back to her senses, "Mr. Jiang just paid for me, I'll turn around immediately."
"You're kind to me again." Jiang Jingci ignored her, and she followed closely.
Half a minute later, the two arrived at the underground parking lot.
The car of the two did not stop in a section, and Wen Lan stopped diagonally opposite the elevator entrance.
Jiang Jingci personally put Wen Lan's two full shopping bags into her trunk.
She thanked her again, but Jiang Jingci still stood in place, and stopped talking several times.
Before closing the trunk, she pulled out the receipt from her shopping bag and held it in the palm of her hand.
Pulling the car door, Jiang Jingci slowly spoke, "Today is my birthday, I have already ordered a cake, can I enjoy my face?"
