As soon as Ji Ran came out of the toilet, she saw her mother taking a flower basket from the door. She asked casually: "Who sent it?"
Ji's mother's face looked a little ugly, and she vaguely revealed that she was a little unhappy: "This is a gift from Zhou Cishen."
Hearing this, Ji Ran unexpectedly said: "Zhou Cishen?
But haven’t the Zhou family already given gifts to express their gratitude? Why did he..."
"Who knows what he means? It was sent in his own name."
Ji Ran was even more confused. Zhou Cishen had never had a good view of their family. Although the two families had become in-laws because of the relationship between Zhou Anan and Ji Huaijian, they were related to Mr. Zhou. Therefore, they had no relationship with Zhou Anan.
Ci Shen is even more incompatible with fire and water.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhou Cishen specially send her a gift just because she gave birth to a child?
Ji's mother said: "Aren't he and Zhiyi getting married? Could it be that Zhiyi asked him to sit like this?"
Ji Ran shook his head: "How can Zhiyi influence Zhou Cishen's intentions?"
The more Ji Ran thought about it, the more strange it became. It wasn't that she was being careless, but that the fact that Zhou Cishen would give her a gift was inherently weird.
Just when she was puzzled, Ji's mother suddenly said: "Look here, there is a card."
"show me."
Ji Ran took it, but when she opened the card and saw the words on it, her whole face turned white.
Seeing this, Ji's mother asked, "What's wrong? What's written on it?"
Ji Ran came back to his senses, shook his head hurriedly, and stuffed the card behind him: "No... nothing, just an ordinary blessing."
At this time, the child happened to wake up and cry, so Ji's mother quickly coaxed the child.
Ji Ran was sitting on the bed. Although the air conditioner was on, she felt that her limbs were all cold.
Zhou Cishen couldn't have written this sentence for no reason. He must have... known that it was her who did Ruan Xingwan fall into the water.
According to Zhou Cishen's character, he would never give up so easily.
…
When having breakfast the next day, Mr. Zhou probably hadn't swallowed his breath yet, as he remained calm and silent the whole time.
Zhong Xian's expression was still calm, while Zhou Anan lowered his head, not even daring to express his anger.
Only Zhou Junnian said: "Cishen hasn't come back to stay for several years. Since it's rare to come back this time, let's stay a little longer."
Hearing this, although Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, his expression was obviously unhappy.
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up and he said slowly: "It just so happens that there is nothing going on in the company during this period, otherwise we wouldn't have this opportunity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou put down the tableware with a snap and walked into the study with his cane.
Soon, Zhong Xian wiped his mouth and left.
Seeing this, Zhou Anan quickly followed.
Zhou Junnian said: "Cishen, you can stay with Xingwan when you come back. She feels a little uncomfortable living here alone."
Zhou Cishen glanced at Ruan Xingwan who was drinking porridge silently: "Really, I think I'm living a pretty good life."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Zhou Junnian smiled, patted Zhou Cishen on the shoulder, turned the wheelchair and walked towards the garden: "The weather is nice today, I will go out for a walk, you guys can chat."
In fact, Ruan Xingwan had nothing to talk to Zhou Cishen. She still wanted to live for two more years.
After eating, she prepared to go back to the room as usual, but as soon as she got up, she saw the servant bringing two people in and said: "These two said they are staff members of Shengguang Magazine."
Ruan Xingwan turned around and saw Pei Shanshan standing next to the servant, winking at her.
At this time, Mr. Zhou, who heard the commotion, came out of the study and frowned: "Who asked them to come and what are they here for?"
Zhou Cishen stood up and said in a cold tone: "I asked them to come."
Mr. Zhou was originally very dissatisfied with the fact that he moved back without saying hello. Now his face was even more ugly: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Cishen said lightly: "I accepted an exclusive interview."
"..."
Mr. Zhou simply thought that he was sick. Normally, this rebellious son could do whatever he liked and it had nothing to do with him, but he just called people from the magazine back to Zhou's house for an interview.
Mr. Zhou was so angry at his move that he couldn't speak for a while. He could only hit the floor with his cane a few times before turning around and going back to the room.
Ruan Xingwan probably didn't expect this, and was slightly stunned.
Pei Shanshan looked around and saw that no one else was around, then stepped forward and pulled Ruan Xingwan's sleeve: "What are you thinking about?"
Ruan Xingwan came to his senses: "Shanshan, why are you..."
Without waiting for Pei Shanshan to answer, Zhou Cishen looked at the magazine editor who came with Pei Shanshan and said with a cold expression, "Let's go."
The magazine editor quickly followed.
Pei Shanshan whispered to Ruan Xingwan: "Where do you live? Let's talk quietly."
Ruan Xingwan took Pei Shanshan to his room, and then replied: "Shanshan, what's going on? Why did Zhou Cishen accept Sheng Guang's interview? How could you..."
Pei Shanshan said: "After you were taken away by the Zhou family that day, I have been worried about you. The day before yesterday, I went to the Zhou family with the mentality of giving it a try..."
Although Ruan Xingwan contacted Pei Shanshan after he was taken away, saying that he would stay at Zhou's house for the time being and might not go to Shengguang, and told her not to worry.
Although she said that, she was taken away by the Zhou family when she was pregnant and lived in a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. How could Pei Shanshan not be worried at all?
So she went to find Zhou Cishen.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Cishen actually agreed to let her come to see Ruan Xingwan.
Pei Shanshan said: "To be honest, although he can be a bitch sometimes, he is still reliable at critical moments, and he used the excuse of accepting an exclusive interview with a magazine, so that the Zhou family will not cause trouble for you.
"
This is the truth, but Ruan Xingwan doesn't understand why Zhou Cishen did this.
Before she could figure it out, Pei Shanshan said again: "Xingxing, what are your plans now? Do you really want to live here forever?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head and thought for a moment before saying: "Zhou Cishen's father's birthday party will be held in a few days. That is an opportunity for me."
"Then what's your plan and how can I help you?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "No need."
After a pause, she continued: "Shanshan, I cannot tell anyone about the arrangements for my departure this time."
"Can't Xiaochen and I also talk?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded. Once she successfully left, Zhou Cishen would be the first to suspect Xiaochen and Shanshan, and he would definitely start from them.
So she absolutely cannot use any help from them this time.
Otherwise, it will hurt them.
Ruan Xingwan said again: "Shanshan, I will contact you after Nancheng has stabilized."
