Chapter 46: Chapter 46

That day, Wen Nian didn't contact Jiang Ci until the evening, in a very anxious tone: "I'm sorry, A Ci, have you waited for a long time? A project I was watching suddenly went wrong."
Jiang Ci: "It's okay."
Wen Nian: "...Aci, are you mad at me?"
Jiang Ci: "No, I just happen to have something temporary."
Wen Nian: "Then let's make a new appointment?"
Jiang Ci: "When are you free?"
Wen Nian: "The house in Yushui Nanyuan, I will cook you dinner there tomorrow, okay? You have the key. If you go early, open the door yourself and wait for me."
Jiang Ci replied: "Okay."
By the end of the year, the community where Ms. Pan lives has a New Year atmosphere. The property has red lanterns at the entrances and exits, and brand-new couplets are posted outside each building.
Jiang Ci sat in the car and waited for more than an hour, and finally waited until Jiang Lin came downstairs.
"Who is Miss Pan?" Jiang Ci fastened his seat belt and started the car.
Jiang Lin brushed her hair: "A friend."
Jiang Ci: "Is she uncomfortable?"
Jiang Lin: "Yes, I chatted with her for a while."
Jiang Lin didn't show signs of saying a few more words. Although Jiang Ci was curious, he could only stop there. She sent Jiang Lin to Songling Road, and the meal was ordered. Jiang Lin didn't say to keep her, and directly called Lu Xingxue, saying that Aci was here, and she couldn't make it through.
I don't know what Lu Xingxue said on the phone. After hanging up, Jiang Lin said to Jiang Ci: "She can't come, you can go home and eat."
Jiang Ci: "..." Why doesn't Lu Xingxue come, does she even have to eat?
Jiang Lin doesn’t need to guess what Jiang Ci is thinking: "Think I’m driving you? I’m doing this for your good! What is family? Family family, first of all, should you stay at home? Have a meal together and talk about yourself. , You have no children yet, it is when you are tired and crooked, let's go, hurry up, and go back to have dinner with Lu Xingxue."
Jiang Ci: "..." Isn't this a rush?
Jiang Ci returned home and heard coughing when he pushed the door.
Lu Xingxue was cooking noodles in the kitchen wearing a mask, Jiang Ci stepped forward and asked her: "Have a cold?"
"Some cough." Lu Xingxue turned around: "Why come back so early? Didn't eat at mother's place?"
Jiang Ci: "No. Have you taken medicine? Do you have a fever?"
Lu Xingxue: "I've taken medicine....Should, don't burn it?"
"Should?" This was an ambiguous answer. Jiang Ci was not relieved, and probed his hand to test Lu Xingxue's forehead temperature.
Half of Lu Xingxue's face was covered by a mask, and the only exposed eyes were facing Jiang Ci, bent into a beautiful round of crescents.
Jiang Ci: "..."
Lu Xingxue is deliberate!
Jiang Ci shook his head helplessly, and took the chopsticks that Lu Xingxue used for noodles: "Give it to me."
Lu Xingxue obediently let go to the side.
"Today, I was going to meet with Wen Nian, but she didn't come, so I re-appointed tomorrow night to have dinner together." Jiang Ci didn't look at Lu Xingxue when talking about this, but just watched what was rolling in the pot. noodles.
Lu Xingxue did not respond, and Jiang Ci looked at her: "In Yushui Nanyuan, the house I lived in before....Well, Wen Nian bought it."
"Tell me specifically." Lu Xingxue rubbed the back of Jiang Porcelain: "It's so good."
Jiang Ci was at ease immediately: "...isn't the noodles cooked like this? Can you eat it?"
Lu Xingxue smiled: "Leave it to me."
Jiang Ci: "..."
The next afternoon, at about three o'clock, Jiang Ci held a year-end meeting in the company, and Tong Tingkai's calls came in one by one. She refused to pick up two of them. Seeing Tong Tingkai or looking for her, she was afraid of something urgent, so she had to leave the meeting room to listen to the phone.
"You come here."
Before Jiang Ci yelled "Dad", Tong Tingkai said these five words with anger.
Jiang Ci: "I'm in a meeting, waiting for the end--"
Tong Tingkai shouted at her: "You come here now!"
Jiang Ci frowned, and Tong Tingkai pinched the phone directly over there.
Jiang Ci stood there for a meeting, did not go back to the meeting hall, sent a message to Xiao Chen and rushed to Songling Road.
In the living room on the first floor of No. 3 Songling Road, Tong Junhao was throwing his legs on the ground and crying. Tong Tingkai pointed at Jiang Lin and jumped like a thunder: "You are doing a good job with me on your back! You are very capable. Why didn't I find you like this before? Good means!"
"Dad, don't beat mother! Don't beat mother! Oh, that's Haohao's mother!!!" Tong Junhao screamed hoarsely and sweated profusely.
As soon as Jiang Ci entered the door, he heard the conversation. There was a wall blocking it. She couldn't see the living room clearly, and eagerly shouted: "Dad!"
After a few seconds of silence in the living room, Tong Junhao said, "Sister! Sister, save mom, and dad said she is going to kill her!"
Jiang Ci hurried in, only to see the remains of a broken cup. Tong Tingkai crouched on her hips and gasped for breath. Jiang Lin leaned on the sofa, covering her right face and tears streaming down her eyes.
Tong Zhenni stood behind the handrail on the second floor, holding her arms and watching coldly.
Jiang Ci didn't care about Tong Junhao, she kicked away the broken porcelain on the ground and went straight to the sofa: "Mom?"
Half of Jiang Lin's face was swollen. Jiang Ci was anxious and panicked. He turned his head, his beautiful pupils stared at Tong Tingkai: "Why can't you just talk about it and do it?"
"You gave birth to these good sons and daughters!" Tong Tingkai pointed to Tong Junhao: "Little lawless!"
Pointing to Jiang Ci again: "The big one will do bad things with you! Now dare to question me!"
Tong Tingkai was angry and he didn't hesitate to say anything. Jiang Ci didn't argue with him, but instead asked Jiang Lin: "Mom, what happened?"
"What's going on! You still have the face to ask what happened! Jiang Ciyou said, where did you two get Pan Jing!" Tong Tingkai stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Ci by her wrist. .
Jiang Ci was in great pain and exclaimed, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
Tong Tingkai glared at her, her ferocious eyes as if she had done something treacherous: "You will pretend to me! I checked the surveillance, and you two went to the Hibiscus Garden yesterday!"
Jiang Lin broke out and screamed: "Pan Jing killed me this morning and sent her away! I will tell you that, are you satisfied!?"
"..." Tong Tingkai shook off Jiang Ci: "What did you say? You say it again!"
Jiang Ci snorted in his heart. Hibiscus Garden, Pan Jing, Miss Pan.
That's it, that's it!
Jiang Lin beat the sofa and cried bitterly: "Tong Tingkai! How can you treat me this way, how can you treat Aci this way! In my whole life, if it weren't for you, why would I be so blinded as a mouse that can't see the sun? I know. How hard it is to be raised outside, and the child suffers along with it. Look at Aji, look at her! Is she willing to be close to you? She doesn't even want to come to this family! Even your surname is not willing to ask for you! Do you want Pan Jing to walk my old path at a young age!!"
Jiang Ci's blood gradually turned cold. She realized that the scars she tried to heal in her heart could be easily taken out by Jiang Lin and used as a weapon to attack Tong Tingkai.
Tong Junhao got up from the ground with his hands and feet and hugged Jiang Lin: "Mom doesn't cry, mother doesn't cry."
Jiang Lin was hugged and coaxed by her little son, and tears rolled down: "I feel so distressed that Pan Jing will send her away, give her money and find a way out, so that she can start a new life! If you follow you, give If you give birth to an illegitimate child, she will be ruined in this life! Isn’t enough what I have experienced and seen around me!"
"Okay, Jiang Lin, how are you!" Tong Tingkai shivered with anger, and his face turned into a pig liver color: "Don't think I don't know your abacus! Get righteous words! Go ahead and talk. Just for yourself!"
Jiang Lin: "Do you still have any shame, Pan Jing is younger than Aci! In front of your three children, I am ashamed of you for disturbing the house for a woman!"
Tong Tingkai walked away, "Bang--" he slammed the door hard.
"Dad! Daddy don't leave! Oh, mom, is Daddy still coming back?" Tong Junhao jumped and opened his throat to cry again.
There was a red mark on the wrist, Jiang Ci turned his wrist, Tong Tingkai grabbed her too hard, but fortunately, it did not hurt the bones and meridians, and it would not affect the tuning work.
Jiang Lin said that she had a headache. Jiang Ci poured her half a glass of water, took out the painkillers from the medicine cabinet, and sent them to the room together.
Tong Zhenni stood at the top of the stairs and sneered at her: "Do you feel bad about your mother? Isn't it uncomfortable? Who didn't come here. Your mother is shrewd, somehow she killed that piece of meat in the other's stomach and sent her away, my mother Silly, I killed myself, but let you enter the room."
Jiang Ci turned a deaf ear, Tong Zhenni: "What is this called? Retribution! Fengshui turns, you also have today? Hahaha!"
Jiang Ci bypassed Tong Zhenni. Tong Zhenni fell into the rock and didn't hear a sound. Jiang Ci was so ignorant of herself that she suddenly got angry and deliberately reached out to trip her.
Jiang Ci: "Have you enough?"
Tong Zhenni: "..."
Jiang Lin was lying on the bed and applying ice, Jiang Ci helped her up, raised the pillow, and took care of her to take the medicine first.
Jiang Ci also wanted to ask Jiang Lin, did she deliberately go to the hospital yesterday and deliberately used her to make Pan Jing ashamed and shameless, so as to increase the bargaining chip and achieve her goal... But thinking back to Jiang Lin's scratched hand, she felt sick. She should have discovered that Tong Ting Kai Jinwu was hiding in her physical condition as soon as she came back from Country S. These days, she digested and cast a net step by step, and then broke out today... Jiang Ci dismissed this idea.
For Jiang Lin, defending her position is obviously far more important than respecting her daughter. Why bother to dismantle it, so that both of them are unhappy.
"...Don't tell Lu Xingxue about today's matter, you are the one who lost it, do you know?" Jiang Lin was so dizzy that she closed her eyes and hummed.
Without hearing Jiang Ci's reply, Jiang Lin narrowed her eyes: "What are you in a daze?"
Jiang Ci: "What happened today, you coax Haohao too much, he is not like me."
Jiang Lin opened her eyes, fixedly looking at Jiang Ci, speechless for a long while.
Jiang Ci left Songling Road and sat in the car until Wen Nian contacted her, and she remembered that they had made an appointment.
The moment the wheel rolled into Yushui Nanyuan, Jiang Cimuran's mood fluctuated. When she opened the anti-theft door at the bottom of the building, the voice-activated light did not turn on for some reason, and the inside of the door was darker than the outside, and a squeeze of depression rushed toward her.
Tong Tingkai's derailment, Jiang Lin's tricks to get the mistress out of the game, family wars... Every step forward made Jiang Ci feel unprecedented anxiety.
The environment here is too familiar, like a boxy cage, which releases all the guilt of being an illegitimate daughter and perpetrator that is deeply ingrained in Jiang Ci's heart.
With cold surroundings, Jiang Ci rubbed his arms and waited for the elevator.
She missed the temperature at home, missed the tank of freely swimming fish with bubbles, and missed Lu Xingxue who said to her, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault".
"Ding--"
The elevator stopped on this floor, and the elevator door slowly opened. Jiang Ci controlled the increasingly strong urge to turn and escape, stepped into the car, and pressed down the fifth floor.
