Ruan Xingwan paused: "You mean, someone sent her to Nancheng on purpose?"
Zhou Cishen hummed and then spoke slowly: "Her marriage to Jiang Shanghan is something that the Jiang family is trying very hard to facilitate, plus... so it's not that easy for her to leave Jiangzhou.
And it just so happens that we are going back to Nancheng."
Ruan Xingwan knew what the words he omitted were.
According to the unwritten rules of the Jiang family, the Jiang family cannot leave Jiangzhou in this life.
And Jiang Chuning is the great-granddaughter of the old man of the Jiang family. Under the supervision and restraint of all parties, she cannot step out of Jiangzhou no matter what method she uses.
Ruan Xingwan thought for a while and then asked: "Are the people who helped her the same group that colluded with Zhong Xian?"
Zhou Cishen shook his head: "No.
Putting aside the large and small struggles within the Jiang family, the two most obvious forces now are Jiang Shanghan and those who oppose Jiang Shanghan.
If the group of people who oppose him want to take his position, they will definitely need the help of the elders of the Jiang family."
Ruan Xingwan continued: "Jiang Chuning's great-grandfather is the most prestigious elder of the Jiang family. Since they want his help, they will definitely not attack Jiang Chuning?"
"Yes, and given Jiang Chuning's identity, even Jiang Shanghan would have to marry her to secure his position as the head of the Jiang family, let alone others.
As long as you marry her, you will definitely get the full support of her family."
Ruan Xingwan said: "But now she has left Jiangzhou and gone to Nancheng. Even if she goes back, as long as the news of her leaving Jiangzhou spreads, she will lose any use value."
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up: "Smart."
Ruan Xingwan understood something in her heart: "So the person who helped her come to Nancheng is Jiang Shanghan."
"Jiang Shanghan has been rejecting this marriage, but the elders of the Jiang family have refused to give in. Although marrying Jiang Chuning can stabilize his position, at the same time, he is also restrained by that group of people."
"Those old men apparently agreed to his taking my mother back to the Jiang family, but privately they were dissatisfied and felt that he had broken the rules of the Jiang family.
Although Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was not happy either.
But what he cares about most is his position as the head of the Jiang family, so as long as Jiang Chuning and Jiang Shanghan get married, he can turn a blind eye."
"But he didn't expect that his great-granddaughter would also break the Jiang family's rules."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Is this the reason why Jiang Shanghan sent Jiang Chuning to Nancheng?"
"yes."
Jiang Shanghan wanted to abolish the Jiang family's old family rules, but encountered great obstacles.
If bringing Xu Yue back to the Jiang family is only the first step, then sending Jiang Chuning to Nancheng is the second step.
Now Jiang Chuning's family members' blood pressure has probably soared three feet.
Ruan Xingwan felt that the matter in Jiangzhou was not over yet.
I don’t know how Jiang Shanghan will solve it.
She lowered the window and yawned.
Zhou Cishen said: "Sleepy?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "A little bit."
"We'll be here in half an hour, why don't you take a nap?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head: "Do you want to go back to the company?"
Zhou Cishen paused for a moment and then said: "If you don't reply, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. There are so many things in the company's backlog. I thought you would just go there."
"I have so much backlog, I don't care about one extra night."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Makes sense.
Half an hour later, the car parked downstairs at the house Ruan Xingwan rented.
Ruan Xingwan got out of the car and looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, suddenly feeling like he was in another world.
Go upstairs and enter the password to open the door.
After opening it, the whole room is bright and clean.
It seems that Pei Shanshan should come here often to clean.
Ruan Xingwan looked at the time and saw that it was already very late, so he didn't tell Pei Shanshan that they were back and decided to wait until tomorrow.
As soon as the door closed, Zhou Cishen's cell phone rang. It was Lin Nan calling.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Xingwan knew that he had to deal with Jiang Chuning's matter, so he yawned and said, "Then I'll take a shower first."
Zhou Cishen hummed: "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he walked to the balcony with his mobile phone.
Ruan Xingwan went into the bedroom to get clothes and then went to the bathroom.
While on the plane, she had been drawing design drawings and had not slept at all. Now she was very sleepy.
She pulled up her hair, took a quick shower, and came out.
When Ruan Xingwan passed by the living room, he saw that Zhou Cishen was still on the phone, so he didn't say anything and returned to the bedroom in a daze.
She almost fell asleep with her head on the pillow.
I don't know how long it took, but Ruan Xingwan felt the bed beside her sink slightly, and then she was hugged into someone's arms.
In her breath, there was the scent of the shower gel she used.
Ruan Xingwan suddenly woke up: "Why are you here?"
Zhou Cishen: "?"
He whispered: "I am not here."
"Your home is next door, you shouldn't go back..."
Zhou Cishen patted her back: "You're confused, keep sleeping."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Forget it, too lazy to pay attention to him.
I don't know if it was because he returned to Nancheng, but Ruan Xingwan slept very soundly. When he opened his eyes, the sun outside had already risen in the sky.
Just when she reached out to touch her phone, a male voice came from beside her: "It's eleven o'clock, you can get up."
Ruan Xingwan slowly sat up and looked at the man on the sofa: "Didn't you go to the company?"
Zhou Cishen closed the computer in front of him and said slowly: "I'll go in the afternoon. Whatever you want to eat, I'll ask Lin Nan to bring it."
Ruan Xingwan rubbed his eyes and got out of bed: "I'd better do it myself."
After washing up, she opened the app and bought some fresh fruits and vegetables. She planned to go to Pei Shanshan's house to find something to eat to fill her stomach.
But after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no reply.
Ruan Xingwan called Pei Shanshan: "Shanshan, aren't you at home?"
Pei Shanshan said: "I have been in the studio during this time."
After a pause, she said again: "Are you back?"
Ruan Xingwan reacted belatedly and said: "Yes, I came back last night."
"So...where's the little guy? Is he back with you?"
"No, he still needs to stay there for treatment."
Pei Shanshan sighed: "Okay, eh, will you come to the studio this afternoon?"
"Come."
Ruan Xingwan said that and went back to the house, ready to change shoes and go to the supermarket downstairs. "Shanshan, I'll hang up first. The elevator is coming soon."
"Okay, see you in the afternoon!"
Ruan Xingwan put away his mobile phone and was about to go out when Zhou Cishen came over and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the supermarket to buy something."
Zhou Cishen said: "Together."
"Fine."
Ruan Xingwan closed the door and just took a few steps towards the elevator when the door opposite opened.
Jiang Chuning showed his head and said, "Can I go with you?"
