She seemed to have lost the high spirits and arrogance she had before. She didn't even put on makeup, and her face was only full of exhaustion.
Chen Wanlu walked up to Ruan Xingwan and was about to speak when she turned to face Pei Shanshan's curious eyes and snorted softly: "What are you looking at? Don't look at a beautiful woman without makeup."
Pei Shanshan: "..."
Please have a pair of clean eyes.
Ruan Xingwan saw that Chen Wanlu seemed to have something to say to her, so she said to Pei Shanshan: "Shanshan, you go in first."
Pei Shanshan nodded and looked at Chen Wanlu: "You'd better not play any tricks, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Unexpectedly, Chen Wanlu did not start a fight with Pei Shanshan, but just turned her head and ignored her.
After Pei Shanshan entered the studio, Ruan Xingwan said, "What do you want from me?"
Chen Wanlu said: "Let me buy you a cup of coffee."
Seeing that what she said was so sincere and completely different from before, Ruan Xingwan did not refuse anymore and found a coffee shop nearby.
After sitting down, Chen Wanlu said: "You should be very happy to see me like what I am today."
Ruan Xingwan said with a smile: "What do I have to be so happy about? What does it have to do with me?"
Chen Wanlu said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that your ex-husband is the president of the Zhou Group? Are you very proud of me for showing off in front of you like a fool?"
"If you think thinking this way makes you happy, then just think so."
At this time, the waiter came with coffee.
Chen Wanlu picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said slowly: "My husband is now in jail. I have been asking for help during this period, but none of them treat me as a human being. I have also seen what it means to leave someone alone to cool off."
, I won’t say any more nonsense. The main reason I came to see you this time is to say thank you. Anyway, you don’t need any other form of thanks, just get what you want.”
Ruan Xingwan said seriously: "If you really want to thank me, you shouldn't come here."
"You..." Chen Wanlu seemed to want to say something, but she swallowed her words and just snorted, "It's my business whether to say thank you or not, and it's your business whether to accept it or not."
"You don't need to thank me, and I don't need to accept it. In that situation that day, even if it was a pig, I wouldn't stand by and watch, let alone a human being.
I just did what I thought was right and I don’t need anyone’s thanks or gratitude.”
Hearing this, Chen Wanlu's face turned pale and green. She was not a fool. Of course, she could tell that Ruan Xingwan's words were sarcastic that she was not even as good as a pig.
She took a deep breath: "That's all I have to say anyway. Don't expect me to tell you anything else besides this. I will absolutely never apologize to you."
Ruan Xingwan smiled lightly and said nothing.
After Chen Wanlu left, Ruan Xingwan returned to the studio.
Pei Shanshan saw this and ran over immediately: "Xingxing, how are you? Is she causing trouble for you?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head: "No."
Pei Shanshan said: "Yes, I don't think she is looking for trouble. Have you noticed that she seems to be a different person this time?
In the past, I would always act like a peacock with its tail open, but today I feel helpless and have no fighting spirit at all."
Ruan Xingwan opened her mouth, but she still didn't tell her about her previous encounter with Chen Wanlu. She just patted Pei Shanshan on the shoulder: "I went to draw the design draft. Call me if you need anything."
Pei Shanshan nodded: "Go."
Sitting at his desk, Ruan Xingwan looked at the draft in front of him, but he felt a little restless.
Although she knew that Ruan Jun's ultimate goal was to get money, waiting aimlessly for Ruan Jun to contact her like this would only make her more irritated.
What's more...
Ruan Xingwan remembered that last night she mentioned that her mother took her to marry Ruan Jun, and Ruan Jun's reaction always made her feel uneasy.
Her intuition told her that Ruan Jun must know something inside, and there was more than she imagined.
After a while, Ruan Xingwan stood up with something in hand.
Pei Shanshan saw her coming out and asked, "Xingxing, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "I'm going to a place, Shanshan, let me use your car."
Pei Shanshan throws the car keys over: "Where are you going?"
"I'm looking for Xie Rong."
Pei Shanshan was stunned: "Can we find him?"
Once someone like Xie Rong is hidden, it is difficult to find him. Including Zhou Cishen's people before, they tried very hard to find him and couldn't even find any clues.
After a while of silence, Ruan Xingwan said: "I have a way."
But everyone has weaknesses and weaknesses.
Xie Rong is no exception.
After leaving the studio, Ruan Xingwan directly navigated to a place.
It took almost an hour before the car stopped at its destination.
It is surrounded by old-fashioned residential buildings, with garbage and sewers everywhere, which are incompatible with the prosperity of Nancheng. It is as if it has been forgotten during the development, and can only rot and grow old alone, or even disappear quietly.
Ruan Xingwan flipped through his phone and found an address. After asking two aunties on the roadside, he walked in the direction they pointed.
She took many detours and finally saw the person she was looking for sitting there at the entrance of an alley.
Wen Qian's father.
When the police investigated Wen Qian, they found this former address in her information. When she came back from Anqiao Long Street, Pei Shanshan also said that Wen Qian's father came to see her.
Ruan Xingwan put away her phone, walked over, and stopped in front of the man: "Hello, uncle, my name is Ruan Xingwan, I am... Wen Qian's former colleague."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he quickly stood up, made a few gestures with his hands, and asked her to sit in the room, and was going to pour her water.
Ruan Xingwan paused when he saw this, then smiled and handed over the fruit in his hand: "No, uncle, I came here to ask you something."
The middle-aged man gestured a few more times. Seeing that Ruan Xingwan couldn't understand, he took out a piece of paper from behind and quickly wrote something on the paper.
After he finished writing, Ruan Xingwan realized that he wanted to ask if Wen Qian was doing well recently.
It seemed that he didn't know what happened to Wen Qian. He went to Shengguang to see Wen Qian once before, but after she scolded her away, he never went there again.
Ruan Xingwan said: "I... don't know much about her situation, but she should be fine."
After all, Wen Qian is a designer who came back from abroad. Even if Shengguang Jewelry fires her, with her ability, she can go to other places and even accept private orders. According to her character, she will not let herself live.
Difference.
The middle-aged man seemed to be relieved when he heard this. He wrote a few more words on the paper and asked her what she wanted to ask.
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips lightly, and after a while she said: "Uncle, do you know where Xie Rong is?"
