Chapter 269: Gossip

Wen Lan's words made Cheng Nijia immediately change her face, and asked sharply, "What do you mean, Wen Lan?"

There was an obvious lack of confidence in the voice.

"Miss Cheng is a smart person, she can't understand it, right?" Wen Lan didn't pick it out, and followed Jiang Jingci's steps to get into the car.

Cheng Nijia instantly lost the urge to go out, and closed the car door heavily.

Half an hour later, Jiang Jingci drove Wen Lan to a Korean-style barbecue restaurant in the North District.

The private rooms in the restaurant were long gone, so they had to sit in the common dining area.

After ordering, Wen Lan took the time to wash his hands and settled the meal bill.

To her surprise, as soon as she scanned the payment code, she saw Shen Yi walking into the barbecue restaurant!

To be exact, it was Shen Yi and a beautifully dressed woman.

The woman held Shen Yi's arm tightly, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall, white and beautiful, and her gestures were full of style.

The moment Shen Yi saw Wen Lan, his eyes dodged, and his expression was very unnatural.

Wen Lan didn't want to embarrass him, so he hurriedly lowered his eyes and pretended not to know.

"Mr. Tao, what a coincidence, you guys are also here to eat barbecue!" At this time, Jiang Jingci's voice came from behind Wen Lan.

Wen Lan immediately realized that this woman was the first executor of the "Tao" in Beijing - Tao Ningwan.

Tao Ningwan's gaze shifted from Jiang Jingci to Wen Lan, and she smiled before speaking, "Lao Jiang, why haven't you been in Shangjing for a while, aren't you stumbling over the beauties of Jiangcheng?"

"There's been a lot of going on in Jiangcheng lately, and I can't get out." Jiang Jingci said and deliberately looked at Shen Yi, "This one looks familiar—"

"Shen Yi, my boyfriend, is also from your Jiangcheng." Tao Ningwan replied simply, her attention was always on Wen Lan's side, "Presumably this is Miss Wen Lanwen?"

Jiang Jingci stretched out his hand to greet Shen Yi, and Shen Yi was not ambiguous, and said a few perfunctory greetings.

Wen Lan was a little uneasy, Tao Ningwan actually knew her name!

She still squeezed out a perfunctory smile to greet Tao Ningwan, "Miss Tao, it's nice to meet you."

"Miss Wen is even more beautiful than I thought." Tao Ningwan's eyes were full of appreciation when she looked at Wen Lan, "It's difficult to decide on a single room in this barbecue restaurant, we decided it yesterday. If you don't get a private room, why don't you share a table together?"

"We still don't disturb Mr. Tao and his boyfriend's alone time." Jiang Jingci made a gesture of invitation to Tao Ningwan, "I'll talk when I have time later."

Tao Ningwan waved goodbye to them, and glanced at Wen Lan before going upstairs.

Wen Lan just raised his eyes, and the moment he met Tao Ningwan's meaningful gaze, it was very uncomfortable.

It was obviously the first time to meet Tao Ningwan, but she could call her name......

"You quietly settled the bill again?" Jiang Jingci's displeased voice interrupted her thoughts.

She collected all her emotions and smiled, "I always let you spend money on treats, and I have a bad conscience."

"Isn't there a saying that men are for-" Jiang Jingci swallowed the three words "like", and continued, "Is it natural for women to spend money!"

"Who doesn't owe anyone anything right! Don't talk about ordinary friends, even if you fall in love, women can't always spend men's money!" Wen Lan made his attitude clear.

"Your thoughts are very strange indeed! I'll pay for the next meal, so don't rob me again." Jiang Jingci wanted to laugh inexplicably when she heard this, and beckoned her back to the dining table.

Soon, the waiter brought the ingredients up, and the two chatted while eating.

Jiang Jingci cherished this hard-won opportunity to eat, afraid that she would turn her face, and only talked about interesting anecdotes and wild histories, and did not dare to involve any personal emotional issues.

Wen Lan usually doesn't eat much spicy, but today when he saw the fiery red chili noodles, he panicked, and he ate one bite after another with the grilled ingredients, and he always felt that it was not enjoyable.

Jiang Jingci, who was as careful as a hair, already had a hunch, and tried several times before he mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you pregnant with a baby girl?"

Her face immediately turned red, and she quickly put down the chili powder seasoning box she had just picked up, "You are really gossipy!"

"I'm sorry, I'll shut up right now." Jiang Jing resigned

The horse was silent, but still picked up the spice box and poured the chili powder into her plate.

In fact, Jiang Jingci is not wrong, she has been very spicy recently, and she already has a clear conjecture about the gender of the little thing in her belly.

"If only it were a daughter." She muttered heartily.

Although the voice was very small, Jiang Jingci could hear it very clearly.

Jiang Jingci cleared his throat and said seriously, "I already have a son, and now I lack a daughter."

Wen Lan pretended not to hear it, and continued to flip the barbecue unhurriedly.

Jiang Jingci knew that at this time, he had reached the critical point of turning his face, and hurriedly provoked another topic, "See Lao Qiu again in the afternoon, explain some details clearly, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in the second trial."

"How much does it cost for Lao Qiu to take a lawsuit?" Wen Lan asked curiously.

"That's not something you should think about." Jiang Jingci gently said, "Are you going to go back to Jiangcheng today, or tomorrow?"

"If you meet Lawyer Qiu later, you will go back to Jiangcheng if you are sure that there is no problem. There's too much work on my side of the studio." She said slowly.

"Listen to you." Jiang Jing's words were refreshing.

Wen Lan suddenly popped up a reminder on her mobile phone to add WeChat friends, and the remark on it was Tao Ningwan, and she didn't pass it.

Because, she didn't think that she and Tao Ning had anything in common.

In the afternoon, Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci came to "Youping" Law Firm again.

Qiu Ping listed the things needed for the second trial on a blank piece of paper and handed it to Wen Lan, and said that the more detailed the evidence for these key points, the better.

After finishing business, Qiu Ping chatted with Jiang Jingci for a while, and the two came out of the law firm.

Wen Lan was in a hurry to return to Jiangcheng, and opened the ticket booking software in the elevator.

Jiang Jingci glanced at her and said, "I have already booked my ticket, and I will go at half past eight in the evening." There is something I need to deal with over there, do you want to come with me, or go back to the Jade Mansion and wait for me?"

She thought for a moment, "I'd better be consistent with you."

Because, she doesn't want to stay alone in Jiang Jingci's house!

"Okay." Jiang Jingci was very pleased.

Half an hour later, Wen Lan saw the simple and heavy plaque of "The Legend of the Origin of the River" again.

The last time she came here, she was still Mrs. Xie, Xie Yansheng didn't know that she was fake pregnant, so in order to let her give birth to a child with peace of mind, he bought her a string of eighteen sons with a lot of price.

Now, she is pregnant with Xie Yansheng's child, and Xie Yansheng has also had a new wife, which is really a thing!

Sour, sad, a rush of brains rushed to Wen Lan's head.

When Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci walked into the "Yuansheng Jiangji" side by side, the clerks immediately boiled.

But because of the majesty of Jiang Jingci, they all respectfully shouted "Mr. Jiang".

Jiang Jingci has always been serious, but when he saw the clerks who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with this today, your expressions are weird?"
