After the meal, everyone went home.
Qiao Xiyan didn’t drink, but Tang Jingci was persuaded to drink a lot. The two of them returned home.
She had drunk a lot, so…
Tonight, Qiao Xiyan couldn’t prove himself.
Actually, Song Fengwan had taken the criminal tools away. When she knew that Tang Jingci was coming to stay, she had secretly moved them away.
When Tang Jingci woke up the next day, the pillow beside her was already empty. She knew that Qiao Xiyan went for a morning run and bought breakfast. After washing up, she went out and saw that he had already returned and placed breakfast on the table.
“I’m going to the northwest to buy chicken blood stones the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?” In order not to arouse his father’s suspicion, Qiao Xiyan had used the excuse of going out to buy stone materials.
“The northwest?” Tang Jingci was indeed free in the capital recently.
“If you want to go, we’ll drive ourselves. If you don’t go, I’ll buy a train ticket.”
“How many days?”
“Four or five days.”
“Okay, I’ll go play with you.”
After all, after confirming their relationship, this was the first time the two of them had gone out like this. With someone helping her carry her luggage and pack everything, Tang Jingci felt that this feeling was strange and warm.

When Song Fengwan found out that the two of them had already left the capital to go to the northwest, she was a little depressed.
Why didn’t they tell her in advance? Would she have followed them?
So when she accompanied Yu Manxi for her pregnancy checkup, she couldn’t help complaining a bit.
“… I usually have to go to class, so how can I have the time to be a third wheel for a few days? Do they have to be so wary of me?”
Yu Manxi smiled. “Maybe they forgot to inform you. Sinian will be coming to pick me up soon. Come to my house for dinner.”
“Okay.” Song Fengwan didn’t stand on ceremony with her.
Originally, Fu Sinian should have accompanied her to the pregnancy checkup. But the other night, there seemed to be a problem with the system of a client. In order to fix the bug, his entire studio had been busy for a few days, so Yu Manxi had asked Song Fengwan to come with her.
When the two of them took the elevator to the first floor, they met a few reporters in the hospital lobby. They were holding cameras and using the background of the hospital to film.
The focus of the camera was a beautiful girl in a wheelchair.
When they saw Yu Manxi and Song Fengwan, they greeted them amicably.
“Big Sister Yu, why are you here too?” A person holding a microphone walked over.
“Interview?”
“Isn’t the year about to end? December 3rd is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The station has to do a program, so we came out early to collect materials.”
“Okay, you guys go ahead.” If Yu Manxi wasn’t pregnant, it would have been easy for her to become a leading host at the TV station and have many programs prepared for her. But the station had replaced her because of her pregnancy. She felt that it was nothing, but many people felt that it was a pity for her.
Song Fengwan looked at the girl talking to the reporters not far away. She was familiar with her because she had seen her at the Fu residence before.
She was slender and weak, and her face was pale. There was always a smile on her face, which was very infectious. She was really beautiful. It was truly a pity.
“Actually, not only is she disabled, but she’s also considered an internet celebrity. She has more than ten million followers on Weibo. A few years ago, a bunch of videos of her fighting against her illness was released, causing a huge reaction,” Yu Manxi explained.
“She’s beautiful, speaks gently and nicely, and is optimistic. She has encouraged many patients.
“As long as there’s an interview about this theme, reporters are happy to contact her. She has many endorsements, and she’s a celebrity in their circle.”
Song Fengwan nodded and subconsciously sized her up. Their eyes met.
The girl nodded and smiled at her, but Song Fengwan felt a little awkward. After all, it was too rude to keep staring at disabled people.
While she was still being interviewed, Song Fengwan had already helped Yu Manxi out of the hospital and into Fu Sinian’s car. She took out her phone and started looking for information about the girl.
There were many illnesses, such as car accidents, leukemia… She and her mother relied on each other for survival. Even though her family had difficulties, she had donated her endless donations to others and signed an agreement to donate her organs after death.
In short, looking at these things, you would feel that this girl was simply like an angel.
Song Fengwan lamented why the heavens didn’t love kind people.
“Still watching?” Yu Manxi, sitting beside her, turned her head to look at her phone.
“She’s quite pitiful.” Song Fengwan was actually a very soft-hearted person. There were many videos about this girl online, which brought her to tears. She really couldn’t stand watching them anymore, so she silently turned off her phone.
She even asked Fu Chen about this later.
Because according to what she knew, Fu Chen should have helped her before, so he might know more.
When she said her name, Fu Chen was working at the company at the time. He reached out to adjust the anti-glare glasses on his nose bridge. “Who are you talking about?”
Song Fengwan was stunned. “You don’t know her? Didn’t you donate money to her?”
She explained in detail, and Fu Chen nodded.
“I’m helping the entire organization, not her alone.”
Fu Chen’s company helped many people every year, so it was impossible for him to remember them all. Moreover, Qian Jiang or Shi Fang handled many of the things. He had never directly interacted with these donation organizations, let alone had any impression of specific people.
“What a cold and heartless man.” Song Fengwan was speechless.
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the person playing on her phone on the sofa.
Tonight, Song Fengwan didn’t return to the dormitory…
The next day, she was a few minutes late for class. She sat in her seat under everyone’s teasing gazes, feeling embarrassed.
The professor glanced at her. “How can you be late for class at ten? Did you stay up late last night and do something bad?”
Actually, the professor was just joking. But Song Fengwan was so guilty that her face flushed red, and she was so angry that she ignored Fu Chen for two days.

Over the past two days, Fu Chen and Duan Linbai had been making trips to the new district to check on the newly developed projects. The shopping malls here had already been built, and the interior was being renovated. Meanwhile, their companies were attracting investors and businesses.
Fu Chen was a little depressed that his wife hadn’t been taking care of him recently. After autumn, the crabs in the pond in the Jing residence’s backyard grew very fat and tender. The Jing family couldn’t finish them themselves, so they would give some to their relatives and friends every year.
A few days ago, Song Fengwan had said that she wanted to eat crabs. When he came back from the new district, he specially passed by the Jing residence and brought a few back.
“Only eight?” Jing Hanchuan tilted his head to look at him.
“Okay.”
“Did you get into trouble with Miss Song?”
They were too familiar with each other. Jing Hanchuan only needed to look at him to know what he was thinking.
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and didn’t mind. “It’s normal for young couples to have troubles.”
“Since it’s normal, why do you look unsatisfied and unhappy?”
“You’re a single dog. Do you even know what it means to be unsatisfied?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him gloatingly.
Duan Linbai had also come along. He tilted his head to look at the two people bickering and felt rather helpless. F*ck, they’re starting again. These two people’s bickering is almost endless.
When the two of them looked at each other, there were naturally all kinds of flashing swords and bloody rain.
“By the way, how are you and Miss Xu? I haven’t seen her in a while. When you were upstairs last time, did you do something to her?” Fu Chen was curious.
He had long wanted to ask about this.
Jing Hanchuan said unhurriedly, “Why can’t it be that she did something to me?”
“Then, this girl might have borrowed courage from tigers to dare to lay her hands on you. Besides, you’re so guarded. I don’t believe that you were asleep when she went upstairs.”
Fu Chen hit the nail on the head.
Jing Hanchuan only smiled faintly.
It seemed that he hadn’t seen Xu Yuanfei for a while since that incident.
After he saw Fu Chen and Duan Linbai off, his parents were still in the Pear Garden, so he drove to the dessert store near the teachers college.
When he entered the store, there were only two part-time female students inside. They both knew Jing Hanchuan. He was a regular customer and very recognizable.
“Mr. Jing, what would you like today?”
Jing Hanchuan subconsciously looked at the kitchen.
In fact, everyone could tell that he had a deep relationship with their boss. It didn’t seem like they had developed to that point yet, and they were still at the stage of being more than friends and less than lovers.
“The boss just left.”
“Oh.” Jing Hanchuan ordered a few desserts, and the store assistant helped him pack them.
The two of them looked at each other, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitated.
“Mr. Jing…”
“Hmm?”
“Actually, she went on a blind date at a restaurant on the street ahead.”
Jing Hanchuan’s expression didn’t change. He calmly took the desserts from them, paid, and left.
“It’s all your fault for talking too much. Didn’t the boss forbid you from telling anyone?”
“I just want to know what he’ll do. He actually didn’t react at all. Do you think he doesn’t like our boss at all?
“He should feel something, right?
“But after I said it, he didn’t even blink.”
“If he really doesn’t like her, he might think there’s something wrong with your head. He came to buy desserts, but you told him that the boss went on a blind date?”
Jing Hanchuan crossed the alley but didn’t get into his car. Instead, he went straight to the front street.
When he reached the front street, he found out that this was the snack street of the teachers college, and there were hundreds of fast food restaurants…
