The two fell into silence.

Jiang Jingci's face was calm, without any emotional ups and downs.

Wen Lan was the first to break the silence, "Mr. Jiang, there are still many good women in the world, you can-"

"You eat well, I'll go back to the room for a while." Jiang Jingci got up and left the restaurant without waiting for her to finish.

Wen Lan sat in the restaurant for a while, and only turned back when Jiang Jingci returned to the room.

Before Jiang Jingci confessed, she could still regard Jiang Jingci's little thoughts as an illusion.

Now, she can no longer turn a blind eye.

The connections to find Ji Minxin in Jiacheng were all provided by Jiang Jingci.

She didn't know whether she could muster up the courage to follow Jiang Jingci and Li Desheng to the next city to find Ji Minxin.

Half an hour later, she realized that her worries were completely unnecessary.

When they set off, Jiang Jingci didn't show up at all.

After getting in the car, Li Desheng deliberately said to Wen Lan in the back seat: "Old Jiang is heartbroken and in a bad mood. Today, I have to accompany you to walk around the neighborhood."

"Thank you, Brother Li." Wen Lan felt like someone was poking her in the back.

She ruthlessly rejected Jiang Jingci. Logically, she should stay away from Jiang Jingci, but now she has to use Jiang Jingci's connections.

"Brother Li, thank you for accompanying me. You are more familiar with this place, and I am not assured to find someone else to be a guide. Do you think this is okay? From today, I will pay you a daily wage." She thought for a long time and said this self-righteous sentence.

"Daily wage?" Li Desheng laughed and said mockingly, "How much are you going to pay me, Miss Wen?"

Li Desheng called her by her name yesterday, and the three words "Miss Wen" made her realize that Li Desheng was angry.

"Brother Li, we met by chance, and you put down your work to help me run around. If you don't take money, I will feel guilty." She explained with a stiff face.

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping Jingci." Li Desheng said in a deep voice, "Given my friendship with Jingci, it's an insult to me if you talk about money in front of me."

"I'm sorry, Brother Li. My friendship with Mr. Jiang is not enough for me to feel at ease to enjoy the convenience brought by his friends." She continued to defend herself.

Li Desheng sighed: "Jingci is a good man, I don't understand why he doesn't catch your eye."

Jiang Jingci's friends naturally spoke for Jiang Jingci, and Wen Lan didn't say anything.

"Wen Lan, you are still too young! Men can't just look at their appearance and age, but also whether they have responsibility and commitment!" Li Desheng advised, "I dare say that if you miss Jingci, you will never meet a good man like him in your life."

"It's not that Mr. Jiang is bad, he's just not suitable for me." As she was talking, her cell phone rang.

It was a strange number she had never seen before, showing Jiang Cheng's IP.

She didn't answer the first time, and only clicked the answer button the second time.

"You just got divorced and you're flying to Country M with Jiang Jingci?" Xie Yansheng's angry voice came.

Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

This was the first time she heard Xie Yansheng speak after the divorce.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If not, hang up." Li Desheng was in front of her, and she didn't want to be laughed at, so she didn't explain.

"You left two clothes at the old house, take them away quickly!" Even through the screen, she could feel Xie Yansheng's terrifying anger.

"When I return to China, I will go to the old house as soon as possible." She lowered her voice, "It's settled, I have something to do, hang up--"

Without waiting for Xie Yansheng to respond, she ended the call.

But in less than two seconds, Xie Yansheng called again. She quickly answered and asked impatiently: "What's the matter again?"

Xie Yansheng on the other end was stunned for a moment, and his voice was deep: "Please bring me something."

"What?" As soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it.

They were divorced, why should she listen to Xie Yansheng's nonsense again.

"I'm running out of that M-brand shaving lotion. Bring me a few bottles." Xie Yansheng said confidently, and it sounded as if Wen Lan was still his wife.

"I have something to do here, so I don't have time to buy things for you! Find a purchasing agent for whatever you want!" She hung up the phone angrily and blacklisted the number.

By the evening, Li Desheng had taken her to the hospitals and sanatoriums in the two small towns east of Jiacheng, but there was no news about Ji Minxin.

She was completely disappointed and planned to look for another two days. If there was still no news, she would return to Jiangcheng.

Li Desheng sent her back to the hotel, said hello to Jiang Jingci and left.

Jiang Jingci was very depressed and didn't even say anything to ask Li Desheng to stay for dinner.

On the way back, she had already thought of not wanting to bother Li Desheng anymore. She found a translator online, quickly negotiated the price and set the time for tomorrow's trip.

She sent a message to Li Desheng, thanking him first, and then tactfully told him that he didn't have to accompany her out tomorrow.

Li Desheng quickly replied with a "OK".

In order to reduce the chance of meeting Jiang Jingci and avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Wen Lan bought a few buckets of instant noodles in the supermarket before returning to the hotel.

After seeing Li Desheng off, she stayed in the room without going out.

Just as she was about to eat the noodles, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and saw Jiang Jingci standing at the door.

"Mr. Jiang." After their eyes met briefly, she called out this official title.

Jiang Jingci frowned slightly, "I have booked a seat at the restaurant opposite, can you give me a favor?"

"I have been running around outside with Brother Li for a day, I am too tired, I don't plan to go out again." She declined.

"Even if we can't be lovers, we should still be friends, right? Can't we have a meal together?" Jiang Jingci already smelled the instant noodles. "You should eat something good after a day of hard work. Let's pack up and go downstairs."

"I'll go to bed after eating the instant noodles." She adhered to her bottom line. "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I really can't go to dinner with you."

A man like Jiang Jingci who has a single emotion is terrible when he gets serious.

She couldn't leave him any unrealistic fantasies.

"Okay, you have a good rest. I'll move tonight's order to tomorrow night." As Jiang Jingci finished speaking, Wen Lan's cell phone called from the bedside table in the room.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow night." Wen Lan said perfunctorily and went back to get her phone.

It was Shen Yi calling.

She thought Jiang Jingci had left, and without thinking, she pressed the answer button, "What's up, Shen Yi?"

"Nothing." Shen Yi's mellow voice was filled with joy, "I have good news for you, my bank cards have all been unfrozen."

"That's great." Wen Lan was sincerely happy for him.

Shen Yi's bank card was unfrozen, indicating that he was not involved in Shen Qingfeng's affairs.

"Lan Lan, there is something I need to tell you--" Shen Yi said in a faint tone, and paused, "I'm going to leave Jiangcheng and go to Gangcheng."

"Okay! Gangcheng is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the scenery is better than that of Jiangcheng. It's a good place to relax." Wen Lan smiled and replied.

"I'm not going to relax, I'm going to start a business." Shen Yi said sadly, "I'm not going back to Jiangcheng unless I make something of myself."
