How did I marry into a wealthy family during my second marriage?
Chapter 176 Lingering and Pathetic
I forgot that I was still in the traffic and stared at Wen Xuyan in shock.
Wen Xuyan drank too much and was drowsy. He didn't hear my words. I held his arm, looked at him for a moment, and said urgently, "Wen Xuyan, wake up, you just called me What?"
"What happened?" Wen Xuyan opened his eyelids, reached out and pinched his eyebrows, trying to wake himself up.
"You just called me 'Ruan Ruan'."
I was in a state of confusion that night, and I didn't know whether the sincere and sentimental "Ruan Ruan" was my imagination or whether it was real.
The warm words "Ruan Ruan" just now brought my thoughts back to that night.
"Ruan Ruan?" Wen Xuyan didn't remember what happened just now, "If you like, I can call you that in the future."
I opened my mouth to ask Wen Xuyan if he had ever been to Waldorf Astoria, but I thought this question was ridiculous.
Wen Xuyan often travels on business. He has a full work schedule every day and has many things to do. How can he remember when he went to the Waldorf Astoria?
I was eager to confirm whether Wen Xuyan was the man that night. When I met his blurred gaze, I gradually calmed down.
Wen Xuyan has a sense of responsibility. If he was the person who was with me that night, he would not have no memory.
His reaction showed that I was overthinking.
I let go of his arm and said, "We are friends and superiors and subordinates. Just like before, call me Ruan Zhen or Assistant Ruan."
The extended horn sound from outside the car came into the second middle school, and I finally realized that I was in the middle of the lane, and how dangerous it was to stop suddenly.
I restarted the car.
"Ruan Zhen, if you have anything, you can tell me and I will help you solve it."
Wen Xuyan's voice was very soft. He was feeling unwell as he was drunk. He stretched out his hand and pulled his tie. His slightly messy clothes made him look a little more unruly.
I lowered the window and the night wind filled the car. He turned his red face to the window.
"I'm fine. You go to sleep for a while. I'll call you when I get home."
The cool night breeze brought all my sanity back, and I concentrated on driving.
Hearing this, Wen Xuyan tried his best to raise his heavy eyelids and look at me again, trying to tell from my face whether I was lying.
On weekdays, Wen Xuyan carries with him the pressure of a powerful person. Whenever his eyes fall on me, I get a little panicked.
Tonight, he drank and no longer felt the pressure, so I kept driving in the same state as before.
He was so drunk that he didn't notice anything on my face. The car became quiet and he fell asleep quickly.
I raised the car window and called Nanyuan.
The hotel surveillance has been cleared, and there is little hope of finding out what happened that night. I know this, and I have not contacted him to ask about this during this period.
The call was quickly connected. Nanyuan was smart and knew the purpose of my call. Before I even spoke, he told me the current progress of the investigation, "Sorry, there is nothing I can do about this matter."
"I'm trying to force someone into a difficult situation."
Nan Yuan has outstanding abilities. If he can't find out anything, if he leaves it to others, the result will be the same.
Just after the call ended, Jiang Ci called and she told me the specific execution date of Jiang Mingchu.
I was silent for a while and said, "I can comfort my parents' souls in heaven."
I can give my child an explanation.
"He wanted to see Miss Ruan before the execution."
"not see."
Jiang Mingchu asked to see me many times, but I rejected him all the time. His poor family background created his selfish and cold-blooded character, but this has nothing to do with me. He calculated every step of the way and ruined my family. His misfortune was not caused by me, but my suffering was inflicted on me by him.
I hate him. When I learned the truth about my parents' death, I wanted to stab him three times. I saw him before to get evidence. Now that he has been convicted and will be executed soon, there is no need for me to see him again. Him, reliving my nightmare.
My tone was decisive.
"He said that even when a person is about to die, his words are kind. He wants to confess to you. If you have anything to ask him, he will answer everything without reservation, including what happened that night."
Jiang Ci had watched my live broadcast at Qingxi Mountain and knew what happened that night. As a woman, she knew that I cared about that matter very much.
She did not persuade me to see Jiang Mingchu, but simply relayed the words of his attorney to me as completely as possible.
"The saying 'A man's words are good even when he is about to die' cannot be reflected in Jiang Mingchu."
After knowing Jiang Mingchu's true face, I have a new understanding of him. He is as cold as a poisonous snake, and he has a purpose in everything he does. "He met me because he wanted to use 'what happened that night' to himself." Strive for some benefits.”
"He's going to die, so what's the point of fighting for benefits?"
"His mother is still alive!"
Jiang Mingchu was filial, he understood his family, but his two sisters and brother-in-law were always demanding from him. After he was no longer useful, his sister and brother-in-law ignored him, and they would be so unfeeling towards Zhang Cuifang.
Zhang Cuifang is old and has no ability to support herself. When Jiang Ming first met me, he probably wanted to make plans for her future life.
He wanted to use "what happened that night" as a bargaining chip to let me support Zhang Cuifang in his old age. He thought the water in my head was not dry yet!
Jiang Ci followed my case throughout the whole process and had a certain understanding of Jiang Mingchu and his family situation. She understood instantly, "He wants to plot against you before he dies! Such a man is really scary! I will reject him immediately." lawyer."
"No need to refuse, let Jiang Mingchu wait slowly."
Death is only a moment, and waiting is the most painful thing. It makes people more anxious and restless than getting the accurate answer.
Even if Jiang Mingchu dies, my hatred for him will never go away, and I just want to cause him as much pain as possible.
……
Three days later, Jiang Mingchu’s lawyer came to the company in person to see me. When I saw her, I already knew her purpose.
Not wanting to talk to her about Jiang Mingchu at the company, we went to Starbucks.
"What do you two want to drink?" Schmaning finished speaking impatiently and urged, "Hurry up! I'm very busy."
"Ms. Shi, the person sitting across from me is a professional lawyer. If you talk to us with this attitude, you may ruin your career."
After Shi Manning fell into despair, he supported himself by working at Starbucks.
When she first started working, she was clumsy, spilling coffee or bumping into customers while walking, which resulted in complaints from customers one after another.
In order to stay and work at Starbucks, she had to humbly beg the store manager to let her stay.
After hearing this, she quickly adjusted her expression and handed the menu to Lawyer Qian's hand with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"
The change in attitude was so dramatic that I was speechless.
Lawyer Qian and I ordered two cups of latte. Lawyer Qian kept persuading me to go see Jiang Mingchu again.
"Lawyer Qian, as Jiang Mingchu's attorney, you should be very clear about the matter between me and him. I have my own reasons for not meeting him. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
"One day's love lasts a hundred days. No matter what he has done to you before, he will be executed soon. If you go and see him, it will make him feel more at ease."
"There is only hatred between me and him, no kindness."
Those "sweet memories" he once gave me were all illusions!
My tone grew colder.
Lawyer Qian spoke again, "Ruan Zhen..."
"Why do you, a lawyer, talk so much nonsense! How come he feels so at ease when he does bad things? He is about to die now, but you force the person who was framed by him to see him to make him feel better. You are doing this to the hearts of the living. Stab the knife!"
Shi Manning curled his lips at Lawyer Qian and put the coffee in front of her.
