After struggling all night, when Ruan Xing woke up late the next day, he had already missed the alarm clock.
She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
Ruan Xingwan took a breath, rubbed her waist and walked to the bathroom while calling Pei Shanshan.
Pei Shanshan said: "Xingxing, you're awake."
Ruan Xingwan was a little embarrassed to say: "I..."
"President Zhou told me this morning that you worked on the design drawings until four in the morning last night and asked me not to disturb you.
Don't worry, I have brought Ningning to the studio, just take your time."
Ruan Xingwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
The dog man finally wanted to show off and found a high-sounding excuse.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xingwan put down the phone, poured a handful of water on his face, and finally woke up a little.
After washing up, she walked to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and paused for a few minutes before returning to the room to change clothes.
By the time she arrived at the studio, it was already noon.
The lunch ordered by Pei Shanshan arrived just in time, and the smell filled the entire office.
Ruan Xingwan sat on the sofa, closed his eyes and stretched his body.
Pei Shanshan's voice came: "Xingxing, I know you are under a lot of pressure for fashion week, but although time is tight, it is still late. Don't stay up so late, it is not good for your health."
Since becoming pregnant, Pei Shanshan has been supervised by Daniel every day. She basically goes to bed at eleven o'clock, and never later than twelve o'clock.
After adjusting her schedule, she found that she felt really comfortable every day.
Now I have completely developed the habit of going to bed early.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
The corners of her lips twitched: "I just...had an inspiration yesterday, but it won't happen next time."
Telling a lie requires another lie to cover it up.
"Okay, let's eat. I'll ask Jiang Chuning to come in."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Okay."
…
After drawing pictures all afternoon, Ruan Xingwan felt a soreness in her back. She got up and left the office to see if there was anything in the studio that could help.
But after she went out, she didn't see Jiang Chuning.
Ruan Xingwan thought she and Pei Shanshan were going to the studio next door. Just when she was about to go there, Pei Shanshan happened to come back from next door: "I don't know what's wrong with the lighting today, it's always wrong."
"It's probably broken. Let's replace it."
"I'll try again tomorrow. If it's still like this, I'll replace it."
Ruan Xingwan paused for a moment and then said, "Is Ning Ning still there?"
Pei Shanshan was a little confused: "No, isn't she over here?"
"No, I didn't see her when I came out just now. I thought she went with you."
"She was still in the studio when I passed by."
Ruan Xingwan quickly entered the studio and asked several shop assistants inside where Jiang Chuning had gone.
A little girl came out of the warehouse and heard her asking, so she said: "Sister Xingwan, we were very busy just now, but a customer was in a hurry and asked us to deliver something to her. We can't leave. Ningning
Just take the initiative to ask her to go..."
"How long have you been there?"
"It's been more than an hour, almost two hours. Logically speaking, we should be back."
At this time, Pei Shanshan walked up to Ruan Xingwan, took out her cell phone and said, "Xingxing, she probably just isn't familiar with the road and took a detour. Let me give her a call."
But on the other end of the phone, what came out was the sound that the other party had turned off his phone.
Ruan Xingwan frowned slightly and was about to go outside to ask Zhou Cishen's people.
They must have sent someone to protect Jiang Chuning.
As soon as Ruan Xingwan walked to the door of the studio, he saw Jiang Chuning limping back. His work clothes were also dirty, as if he had gone to the garbage dump.
Jiang Chuning saw her and grinned at her, his expression obviously aggrieved.
Ruan Xingwan asked softly: "Ning Ning, what happened?"
Jiang Chuning sniffed: "When I came back from delivering the goods, I met some boys at the entrance of the alley. They insisted on asking for my phone number, but I didn't want to give it to them, so they..."
Ruan Xingwan said coldly: "Did they beat you?"
Before Jiang Chuning could speak, a male voice rang out from beside him: "No, Ningning was just frightened and fell off the stairs."
Only then did Ruan Xingwan notice that there was a man following Jiang Chuning.
The man looked to be in his thirties or forties. Although his appearance was not outstanding, he was still outstanding among ordinary people. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Ruan Xingwan with a gentle and polite smile.
Ruan Xingwan said: "Who are you?"
Jiang Chuning reacted and introduced: "By the way, sister, this is my second uncle, he was the one who saved me just now!"
The man stretched out his hand towards Ruan Xingwan: "This is the first time we meet. Hello, my name is Jiang Yunzhu."
Ruan Xingwan looked at him with a bit more vigilance, and calmly pulled Jiang Chuning behind him.
Jiang Yunzhu took back his hand and smiled: "This must be Miss Ruan Xingwan, Ning Ning told me about it on the way here.
You don’t need to be nervous, I’m not here to take her away.”
"Then what do you want to do."
"I heard something happened in Jiangzhou some time ago, and it was related to Nancheng, so I thought I would come over and have a look. It was a coincidence that I bumped into Ning Ning."
Ruan Xingwan said: "I heard?"
Jiang Chuning said behind her: "My second uncle is not in Jiangzhou, and he can't stand those old antiques."
Jiang Yun Zhuxiao: "Yes, Ning Ning is right, I left Jiangzhou a long time ago.
I came to Nancheng this time just because I heard some rumors and was curious. Don’t worry, Miss Ruan, I am not your enemy and I have no ill intentions towards you."
After speaking, he continued: "Since I have sent Ning Ning back, I will take my leave."
Jiang Chuning called him: "Second uncle."
Somewhat reluctant.
Jiang Yunzhudao: "Ning Ning, when you are in someone else's house, you must be obedient and not willful. I will come to see you again when I have the chance."
Jiang Chuning waved to him: "Goodbye, second uncle."
Jiang Yun nodded, then nodded slightly towards Ruan Xingwan, then turned and left.
After he walked away, Ruan Xingwan looked away and looked at Jiang Chuning.
Jiang Chuning was already ready and couldn't wait to share it with her: "Sister, let me tell you! I always thought that my second uncle passed away, and my father and great-grandfather always said so! But I didn't expect that he actually
He is still alive. On the way back, he told me that he left Jiangzhou because he was dissatisfied with the Jiang family's rules! My second uncle has been very good to me since I was a child, and I really didn't expect to see him again! "
Listening to Jiang Chuning's excited tone, Ruan Xingwan could feel her happiness firsthand and asked, "How long has it been since your second uncle left Jiangzhou?"
"It's been a long, long time. I can hardly remember it. It must have been when I was less than ten years old, right?"
"It's been ten years. You haven't heard anything about him for so long."
"No, I remember asking once when I was a child. My father said that he passed away and they never mentioned their second uncle at home. They must have felt sad."
