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

There was a lack of confidence in her voice.

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

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

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

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

After ordering, Wen Lan paid the meal while washing her hands.

To her surprise, she saw Shen Yi walking into the barbecue restaurant just after scanning the payment code!

To be precise, it was Shen Yi and a well-dressed woman.

The woman held Shen Yi's arm tightly, about 27 or 28 years old, tall, fair-skinned and beautiful, and her every move was full of charm.

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

Wen Lan didn't want to embarrass him, so she lowered her eyes and pretended not to know him.

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

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

Tao Ningwan's eyes moved from Jiang Jingci to Wen Lan, and she smiled before she spoke, "Old Jiang, why haven't you been in Shangjing recently? Are you tripped by the beauties in Jiangcheng?"

"There's been a lot of things going on in Jiangcheng recently, so I can't get away." Jiang Jingci said, deliberately looking at Shen Yi, "This person looks familiar-"

"Shen Yi, my boyfriend, is also from your Jiangcheng." Tao Ningwan answered straightforwardly, and her attention was always on Wen Lan, "I guess this is Miss Wen Lan?"

Jiang Jingci extended his hand to Shen Yi to say hello, and Shen Yi was not vague, and exchanged a few perfunctory greetings.

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

She still managed a perfunctory smile to greet Tao Ningwan, "Miss Tao, nice to meet you."

"Miss Wen is more beautiful than I thought." Tao Ningwan looked at Wen Lan with admiration, "It's hard to book a private room in this barbecue restaurant. We booked it yesterday. If you can't book a private room, why don't you share a table?"

"Let's not disturb President Tao and her boyfriend's time alone." Jiang Jingci made a gesture of invitation to Tao Ningwan, "Let's talk again when we have time."

Tao Ningwan waved goodbye to them and took a special look at Wen Lan before going upstairs.

Wen Lan just raised her eyes and met Tao Ningwan's meaningful eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.

It was the first time she met Tao Ningwan, but she could call her name...

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

She suppressed all her emotions and smiled, "I always let you spend money to treat me, and I feel guilty."

"Isn't there a saying that men spend money for..." Jiang Jingci swallowed the three words "like" and continued, "It's natural for women to spend money!"

"What's natural? Who doesn't owe anyone? Not to mention ordinary friends, even when they are in love, women can't always spend men's money!" Wen Lan made her attitude clear.

"Your idea is really strange! Next time, I will pay for the meal, don't fight with me again." Jiang Jingci felt like laughing and asked her to return to the table.

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

Jiang Jingci cherished this hard-won opportunity to eat, and was afraid that she would turn against him, so he only talked about interesting anecdotes and did not dare to involve any personal emotional issues.

Wen Lan usually doesn't eat spicy food, but today she was so greedy when she saw the fiery red chili powder that she ate one bite after another with the roasted ingredients, but she always felt unsatisfied.

Jiang Jingci, who was as careful as a hair, had already had a premonition. He 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 a gossip!"

"Sorry, I'll shut up immediately." Jiang Jingci immediately kept silent, but still picked up the seasoning box and poured the chili powder into her plate.

In fact, Jiang Jingci was not wrong. She especially liked spicy food recently, and she had a clear imagination about the gender of the baby in her belly.

"It would be great if it was a daughter." She murmured sincerely.

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

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

Wen Lan pretended not to hear and continued to turn the barbecue slowly.

Jiang Jingci knew that the situation had reached the critical point of falling out, so he quickly brought up another topic, "Meet Lao Qiu again in the afternoon and clarify some details. I guess there will be no problem in the second trial."

"How much does Lao Qiu charge for a case?" Wen Lan asked curiously.

"This is not a question you should consider." Jiang Jingci brushed it off lightly, "Are you going back to Jiangcheng today or tomorrow?"

"If I meet Lawyer Qiu later and I'm sure there's no problem, I'll go back to Jiangcheng. I have too much work to do in my studio." She said slowly.

"I'll listen to you." Jiang Jingci agreed readily.

A reminder to add a WeChat friend suddenly popped up on Wen Lan's phone, and the note on it was Tao Ningwan. She didn't click to approve it.

Because she didn't think she and Tao Ningwan would have any common topics.

In the afternoon, Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci came to the "Youping" law firm again.

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

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

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

Jiang Jingci glanced at her and said, "I have already booked the ticket for the 8:30 pm flight. There is something I need to deal with at 'Yuansheng Jiangji'. Do you want to go with me, or go back to Feicui Huafu and wait for me?"

She thought for a while, "I'd better stick with you."

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

"Okay." Jiang Jingci was very relieved.

Half an hour later, Wen Lan saw the ancient and heavy plaque of "Yuansheng Jiangji" again.

The last time she came here, she was still Mrs. Xie. Xie Yansheng didn't know that she was faking pregnancy. In order to let her give birth to the child with peace of mind, he bought her a string of expensive eighteen seeds.

Now, she is pregnant with Xie Yansheng's child, and Xie Yansheng already has a new wife. Things have really changed!

Bitterness and sorrow rushed to Wen Lan's head.

When Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci walked into "Yuansheng Jiangji" side by side, the staff immediately became excited.

But due to Jiang Jingci's majesty, they all respectfully called him "Mr. Jiang".

Jiang Jingci usually appeared serious, and when he saw the staff wanting to laugh but not daring to, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "What's wrong with you today? Your expressions are all weird?"
