Shen Zixi felt guilty again: "Did I accidentally say something wrong?
Lin Popo, you also know that I have been away from Nancheng for a long time and I don’t know many things. I hope you won’t mind if I offend you.”
Lin Zhiyuan said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of the past."
Shen Zixi looked at the time: "I have other things to do later, so I won't stay any longer. See you next time."
After speaking, Shen Zixi nodded to the two of them and left with a smile.
After leaving Lin's family, he felt relaxed.
After getting in the car, Shen Zixi dialed Zhou Cishen's phone number: "Everything you told me has been done, when are you going to treat me to dinner?"
"No hurries."
"If you are not active in eating, you have problems with your thinking."
Zhou Cishen said: "Go and eat by yourself, I will reimburse you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Shen Zixi: "..."
This is the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, unloads the mill and kills the donkey.
On the other side, the competition results also came out.
The final champion was Wen Qian.
Although Wen Qian was also a popular contestant this year, and there were many people supporting her, when the organizer announced that she was the winner, everyone was still in an uproar.
Ruan Xingwan's loss was actually not a big deal, but it was a blatant slap in Zhou Cishen's face.
Just as everyone carefully turned their attention to the two parties involved, they saw that their expressions were as usual, with no change, as if they were not surprised by the result.
As for Wen Qian, since she was announced as the champion, many reporters gathered around to interview her.
Ruan Xingwan said: "We have nothing to do, let's go."
Zhou Ci raised his eyebrows deeply and whispered something in her ear.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
ill.
What the dog man just said was, "Since you didn't win the championship, I'll be aggrieved and give myself to you."
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up, and he held her hand: "Let's go."
As soon as they walked out of the venue, someone called Ruan Xingwan from behind.
Ruan Xingwan turned around and Zhang Jing came over. When she looked at Zhou Cishen, she seemed a little nervous: "Zhou...Mr. Zhou..."
Zhou Cishen just nodded lightly and said to Ruan Xingwan: "I'll wait for you in the car."
"good."
After he left, Zhang Jing took a breath and said, "The game is finally over. Do you have time to have dinner together?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "I have an appointment with my friend today, maybe next time."
"also."
Zhang Jing said, "Speaking of which, I'm quite happy to be able to get here and get the third place in this competition, but I think it's a pity for you. You should have been the champion..."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan smiled: "It's no pity. My skills are not as good as others. It's normal to lose."
Zhang Jing pouted: "Your work is much better than Wen Qian's. I think there is something wrong with the judges' vision this time, and I don't know what they think."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jing added: "But it doesn't matter, it's just a competition, it can't prove anything. I believe you will do better in the future."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Thank you."
Zhang Jing made an effortful gesture toward her: "Then I'll leave first. Bye, we'll make an appointment next time."
"goodbye."
After watching her leave, Ruan Xing got into the car at night.
Zhou Cishen asked her: "Very familiar?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "It's not bad, we talked twice."
Zhou Cishen said nothing more and asked the driver to go back to the studio.
After a while, Ruan Xingwan said: "Wait, I... want to go somewhere."
After she told her the address, Zhou Cishen frowned: "What are you going to do there?"
"Just...there's something. I'll go check it out, but don't worry about it."
Zhou Cishen: "I don't care?"
Ruan Xingwan felt that it would be troublesome to explain to him, and saw that the dog man's face darkened, and he seemed to be losing his temper, so he whispered: "That's not what I meant, in short, I will tell you later, okay?"
"what ever."
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the hospital.
Ruan Xingwan opened the door and said, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Ruan Xingwan hurried into the hospital and had no clue, so he could only go to the nurse station to ask.
It had been several days since Xie Rong disappeared. Even if he needed to hide for some reason, he would never leave Wen Qian's father alone.
After thinking about the name he saw on the medical record that day, Ruan Xingwan said: "I would like to ask a patient named Wen Qiang which ward he lives in."
The nurse searched on the computer and then frowned: "Who are you?"
"I... came to see him for a friend."
"Wen Qiang has been dead for several days. His body has been parked in the morgue and no family members have come to claim it. If you know anyone in his family, please help."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but widen his eyes, full of surprise: "When did it happen?"
The nurse gave the exact time of death.
Ruan Xingwan thought about it, it was an hour before Xie Rong called her that day.
So at that time, Wen Qian's father had already...
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips tightly. If she had known this was the case, she should not have asked Xie Rong to come over and help her find Xiaochen.
Seeing that she was silent, the nurse waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Ma'am?"
Ruan Xingwan recovered his thoughts: "I'm sorry."
After a while, she asked again: "Have you contacted his family?"
The nurse complained: "It is said that he has a daughter, but we called several times and couldn't get through. What kind of daughter does this have to be? Her father passed away and she didn't even come to the hospital to see her."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Please contact me again. If... you still can't be contacted, just follow the hospital's procedures. I will pay all the expenses."
The nurse nodded: "Then come with me."
After leaving the hospital, Ruan Xingwan looked at the sky in the distance and was lost in thought for a moment.
Suddenly, for a moment, I felt that everything was impermanent.
Wen Qian is still immersed in the joy of winning the championship, but she has no idea that her father is no longer in this world.
Zhou Cishen walked up to her: "Are you done?"
"It's over, let's go."
Zhou Cishen glanced behind her, and it was not difficult to guess what she was doing here, and asked: "Is there any news about him?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head: "Uncle Wen has... passed away. His body has been in the morgue. It seems that Xie Rong has never come back. Something must have happened."
"What if he runs away."
"He won't. No matter what happens, as long as he can still leave, he will never leave Uncle Wen here."
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "You know him quite well."
Ruan Xingwan: "?"
No, can you eat this vinegar?
She explained: "I don't understand him, I just..."
"not interested."
"oh."
Ruan Xingwan glanced at him and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Are you still angry?"
Zhou Cishen said: "I'm not as small-minded as you."
He opened the car door and tilted his head: "Get in the car."
