Chapter 245

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

The Green Dragon Lake apartment was no longer safe. Before the new security system was changed, she had rented a small two-bedroom apartment in the city.

The days after that returned to the previous calm.

The panic and helplessness that night and his appearance were like a dream.

When she woke up from the dream, everything returned to its original position.

In November, forest city had already entered the middle of winter. When she woke up every day, she only felt her hands and feet were cold.

The alarm clock had already rung twice before Qiao man slowly got up and began to prepare breakfast.

Qin Yulan had been in a bad state of mind ever since she woke up. Every day, other than daydreaming, she would smash things. It was as if she had never gotten out of that nightmare.

The doctor suggested that Qiao man send her to a professional psychiatric hospital for treatment. After much consideration, she sent her to the best private psychiatric hospital in Lin city, thinking that she would be picked up again when her condition stabilized.

Without Qin Yulan, her daily life would be two o’clock and one line. Home, mansion number one, mansion number one, home.

Occasionally, she would go to see Lin Yan. She had lost a lot of weight and became very quiet.

Every time they met, they were in a hurry. She didn’t even have the time to ask about her and Fu Qingshan.

This winter seemed to be particularly cold.

Although the heater was turned on in the House, she felt that her entire body was cold. Her hands, feet, and even her blood seemed to be cold.

She casually baked two pieces of toast and drank a cup of warm milk. Then, she went out and took a bus to mansion number one.

Recently, she had been changing shifts. She had been on the day shift. Compared to the days and nights where she didn’t get enough sleep, she was in a much better state.

The Sky was as clear as jade, and there were no clouds in the sky. The clear light of winter shone through the window and landed on the girl’s snow-white skin, giving off a beautiful halo.

When she arrived at Mansion No. 1, she changed her clothes and was arranged by the manager to sell alcohol in room No. 58.

Although it was daytime, there were many rich kids who came here for social events, entertainment, or to express their negative emotions. Almost all the SVIP rooms on this floor had been reserved.

From this, it could be seen how important mansion No. 1 was in the eyes of the upper-class people in forest city.

When she pushed open box No. 58 and saw the scene inside, she was stunned for three seconds.

There was only one person in the box. It was Jiang Yingdong.

He was wearing the white shirt and black pants that he always liked. There was a cigarette between his fingers. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked over through the thin smoke. His eyes seemed to be dipped in ink, so dark that one could not see the end.

The lights in the box were not on. There was only a wall lamp with orange light that barely lit up a corner of the room.

Most of his figure was hidden in the shadows, and the strands of hair on his forehead etched deeply into his facial features. His refined and handsome appearance almost overlapped with the glowing boy in his memories.

How cruel was time? Perhaps only the two of them who had changed beyond recognition had the right to say that.

“Young Master Jiang, this seems to be the fourth time in the past week that you’ve come to support me? ”

Qiao man bent down, picked up a bottle of red wine from the wine cart, and walked over with two tall glasses. After sitting beside him, she calmly opened the bottle of red wine in her hand, poured a glass for him, and poured a glass for herself.

She picked it up and waved it in front of her eyes. “I’ll treat you to this bottle of wine today. I hope that in the future, at mansion number one, you and I will only meet by chance. ”

Jiang Yingdong did not move. His back was deeply embedded in the back of the Leather Sofa. His gaze was very faint, so faint that no one could capture any emotions. His tone was very light. “Man man, Xiao Meng and I have already broken up. ”

“Oh, tell me. Do you want me to tell you that it’s happy to break up with you? ”

Jiang Yingdong smiled and leaned over. He picked up the red wine glass that had become increasingly red due to the light. He brought it to his mouth and downed it in one gulp.

His eyes remained languid and lazy, like a lazy cat basking in the afternoon sun. “I’m pursuing you again. You’re so smart, how could you not know? ”

“Oh, I see! ” Qiao man looked as if she had suddenly realized something. Her face was warm and indifferent. Compared to him, she was even more emotionless. “since Mr. Jiang has made it clear, then I’ll respond clearly. I refuse. ”

After saying that, she stood up. Before she even took a step forward, she heard Jiang Yingdong say with a smile, “Man man, you don’t have to be so paranoid. Sit down. Even if you refuse my pursuit, I’m still a guest of mansion number one. It’s reasonable to let the wine lady accompany me for a few drinks, right? ”

Watertight.

In the past six years, Jiang Yingdong had been able to be watertight most of the time, except for the incident with Xiao Meng.

Whether it was doing things or talking.

“Okay. Since Mr. Jiang said so, of course, I’ll accompany you for a few drinks. ”

Qiao man sat down and poured another glass for him and herself. Then, she raised her glass and clinked it with his. She smiled and said, “thank you for your support, Mr. Jiang. I’ll drink to you first. ”

After saying that, she raised her glass.

Jiang Yingdong looked at her and didn’t say anything. Only his eyes became darker and darker.

After drinking three glasses in a row, Qiao man stood up. Under the warm orange light, the smile on her lips was warm and clean. “I’ve finished drinking. I still have other work to do, so I won’t drink with Mr. Jiang anymore. ”

As she said that, she pushed the wine cart towards the door of the private room.

The floor was covered with high-class velvet carpet. When her high heels stepped on it, there was almost no sound. It was not until a gust of wind brushed past her ears that she felt Jiang Yingdong suddenly approaching her.

At this moment, the door of the private room had been opened by her. The wine cart was pushed halfway out when she was pulled by the man behind her and pushed to the side of the door. Then, a pair of strong arms supported the sides of her head, forming a semi-enclosed position.

Occasionally, there would be staff and guests from mansion number one passing by in the corridor. They would cast a faint gaze at her. Although it was only a quick glance, it caused Qiao man to frown deeply.

“Mr. Jiang, what do you mean? ”

Jiang Yingdong lowered his head and stared at the girl in front of him with a pair of sharp eyes. “I won’t give up. ”

At that moment, the door of the private room next door was opened. Ji Yunshen had just been socializing inside and had drunk quite a lot. He rubbed his increasingly painful Glabella and walked towards the elevator.

Just as he took a step, he heard a familiar female voice coming from the door of the private room next door.

“Mr. Jiang, for a man like you, I wouldn’t go so far as to play hard to get. So, can you please let me go? ”

Jiang Yingdong’s eyes continued to look at the end of the darkness. His hands that were propped on the Rosewood door were clenched into fists. His voice seemed to have infected all the softness and deep affection in the world. “Man Man, I still love you. It has never changed. ”

The man standing not far away from the door of the private room did not continue listening. Instead, he took steady steps and walked forward.

Qiao man struggled to push the man in front of her away. Just as she pushed the wine cart and escaped, she saw the man passing by on the other side of the corridor.

His eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of emotions, but it also seemed as if there was nothing in them.

Tonight, he was wearing a black sweater with dark-colored suit pants, a dark-blue windbreaker coat, and a pair of black leather shoes that were handmade in Italy.

It seemed that he only stayed on her for a second before he continued walking forward. His entire person was extremely lazy and relaxed.

Just as he passed by, the door of the private room next door was pulled open by a woman in a white dress. The moment she saw Qiao Man, she was stunned for a second. Then, she walked in the direction of the man in her high heels.

This woman was ye he.

Last night, when he saw the news, it seemed like it said that the beauty had finished filming. Then, the reason why they appeared together today was probably to hold a wrap party here.

Jiang Yingdong saw everything that had just happened. Just as he was about to chase after her, he heard Qiao man say, “Jiang Yingdong, don’t make me hate you. Although those six years weren’t very memorable, they were still special. ”

The feeling of first love was like a Green Apple. No one was mature enough.

Although that might not be the love that people often talked about in the adult world, at least that memory was unique.

And they had indeed thought that they had truly loved each other sincerely.

…

She was disappointed. She had been disappointed the entire day.

When she returned home, she could not muster up any energy.

The heater was turned on in the two-bedroom room, and the temperature quickly rose. She Lay on the Sofa and watched a variety show. For some reason, tears suddenly streamed down her face.

She would cry even when watching a comedy. What kind of experience was this?

She picked up the remote control and turned off the television in annoyance. She returned to the bedroom and threw herself on the bed.

It was as if she had difficulty breathing for two seconds because of the tears. Only then did she take out her phone and call Lin Yan.

After a few beeps, the other end picked up. “Man Man. ”

“Yes, Yan ‘er, are you free? Come over to my place for a drink? ”

Lin Yan hesitated for two seconds before she slowly said, “can you come later? I have to go to a banquet with Fu Qingshan later. ”

Qiao man heard her say this and was about to say that there was no need, but she heard Lin Yan say, “man man, why don’t you come to the banquet and look for me? I’ll deal with it for a while and then leave. Let’s go to the misty rain restaurant for a drink? ”

Tonight was really too depressing and lonely. She didn’t hesitate at all and agreed.

She changed into a nude pink sweater and a pair of blue jeans. She chose a camel-colored woolen coat and put on her shoes. Then, she hurried out and took a taxi to the banquet venue that Lin Yan had mentioned.

When she reached there, Qiao man found out that today was Ji Donghe’s 76th birthday banquet.

In fact, the birthday banquet was an opportunity for personal relationships.

On the political path, what was needed was always a close relationship between the political family and the political family. This way, they could ensure that the four seasons were evergreen and that they would stand tall.

Qiao man did not go in. Instead, she stood in a corner outside the banquet hall and waited.

Standing in the corner and looking inside, there would be a strong sense of contrast.

It was like prosperity and loneliness. They were clearly so far away, yet they were within reach.

It was so cold in forest city at night. She wore quite a lot of clothes, but when she stood in a corner with insufficient heating, she still felt the cold.

After waiting for a long time, Qiao man was about to decide whether she should leave first when she heard a woman’s voice from the side. It was urgent and Sharp, and in the darkness, it was somewhat ear-piercing.

“Ji Yunshen, where’s your divorce certificate with Qiao Man? Give it to me, I want to take a look. ”

In her impression, Ye he had always been elegant and proud. She could not imagine who she would be so humble in front of.

“You owe me your life. I let you use this marriage to pay for it. I even gave up all your assets. Are you kidding me? ”

“Is it important to have a divorce certificate? ”

The man seemed to be smoking. His voice was very low and hoarse from the smoke. “You’re the one who’s afraid. Even if she divorced me, you couldn’t be Mrs. Ji. So, as long as you see the marriage certificate, you can run to her and show off your power? Sow Discord? ”

“Ji Yunshen, Qiao man doesn’t love you at all. She’s only with you for money, but I’m different. I love your people. I love you whether you have money or not. Otherwise, why would I go through so much trouble and not get anything out of you? ”

When the man heard that, he smiled indifferently. “Miss Ye, I’ll only give the identity of Mrs. Ji to one woman in my life, no matter if it’s the past or the future. ”

“But since I’ve agreed to use this divorce certificate to make it even with you, I’ll definitely do it. Tomorrow, I’ll send someone to bring the divorce certificate over for you to see. And… ” he paused His voice was clean and warm. “From now on, all grudges between you and me will be written off. Don’t text and call me whenever you have anything to do, Miss Ye. ”

After he finished speaking, the man walked into the banquet hall with heavy steps. Qiao man hurriedly turned her back and stood behind the pillar to hide herself.

Her mood was like she had knocked over a seasoning bottle. There were all sorts of mixed feelings, and it was an indescribable feeling.

Her chest was very stuffy, so stuffy that she almost suffocated.

Lin Yan walked out of the Banquet Hall about twenty minutes later. Just as she walked closer, she noticed that her mood was abnormal.

“What’s wrong, man man? ”

“nothing, I just want to drink. ”

Qiao man didn’t say anything, or perhaps she didn’t know what to say anymore.

Lin Yan didn’t ask any more questions. All these years, their way of getting along had always been like this, silently accompanying each other.

When they arrived at the private room of Yanyu Tower, Qiao man ordered two bottles of hard liquor. Recently, Lin Yan had also been suffering from severe water resistance. After one glass, another followed. Soon, both of them were slightly drunk.

Fu Qingshan looked around the banquet hall for Lin Yan, but he didn’t see her.

Ji Yunshen came back from smoking outside. When he saw him, he strode toward him. “I heard that the old man found out that you were discharged from the army? ”

“Yes. Otherwise, how could you have been so miserable these two days? ”

“If you insist on not getting a divorce, be careful of the old man’s big move. ” Ji Yunshen took out two glasses of wine from the waiter’s tray and handed one of them to the man beside him. “You know, with his temper, he can do anything. ”

“How’s the investigation of Lin Yan going? ”

Although they and Lin Nancheng had been brothers for many years, they only had a rough idea of the accident that happened to Lin Yan back then. They didn’t ask what exactly happened, and Lin Nancheng didn’t tell them either.

All these years, they had always thought that it was just a little girl who liked to play and was targeted by bad people. After being scared and scared, she was sent back in one piece, and that was it.

They didn’t expect that such an unforgivable thing had happened. Fu Qingshan clenched his wine glass tightly. These days, as long as he closed his eyes, he would see the scene of Lin Yan being bullied.

Sometimes, his chest hurt.

“with the power of the Lin family back then, they couldn’t find any clues, let alone today after so many years, ” Ji Yunshen said slowly and then continued “however… if Lin Yan can provide some clues, it might be easier to find. ”

“No. ”

Fu Qingshan lifted the wine glass in his hand and said in a very light voice, “the incident back then hurt her too much. Not to mention providing clues, even if she remembers, she will have a mental breakdown. ”

“Then this incident might be very slow. After all, there are very few clues and so many years have passed. ”

Ji Yunshen raised the wine glass and took a SIP. “Old Fu, I understand how you feel, but if you want to find that person back then, you have to get her to provide more clues. The longer it drags on, the greater the damage to her. ”

Fu Qingshan nodded and did not say anything. His gaze was profound.

…

Lin Yan and Qiao man had drunk too much. It was the service staff of the misty rain restaurant who found out and called Fu Qingshan.

At this moment, the few of them were sitting around playing cards. When Fu Qingshan received the call, he almost immediately stood up.

“I have something to do, I’ll leave you guys to play. ”

Ji Yunshen nodded. “Okay, call me if you need anything. ”

Fu Qingshan acknowledged and left the private room. He drove black spyker away from the banquet venue.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the parking lot of misty restaurant.

When he rushed into the private room and saw Qiao man beside Lin Yan, he quickly took out his phone and dialed Ji Yunshen’s number.
