Chapter 77
While talking, Lu Jingchi and Lin Zheng appeared in Jiang Lan's sight.
He was meticulously dressed in a suit, a brown coat that reached his knees, making his legs long and straight.
Lu Jingchi lowered his eyes to Jiang Lan, then glanced at Si Ning next to him.
Jiang Lan lowered his head guiltily.
Her ponytail was loose, and strands of broken hair were scattered on her pale cheeks, like mottled scratches on white jade, messy and embarrassing.
Si Ning frowned and didn't speak. She had learned from the past and Lu Jingchi didn't offend her, so there was no need to confront him.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Si Yang also arrived.
Seeing Lu Jingchi and Jiang Lan, his expression changed slightly, he strode to Si Ning, and lowered his voice: "Xiao Ning, have you had enough trouble? Come back with me!"
Si Ning didn't want to refute, nor did she have the strength to refute.
Si Yang pulled her up and left. Si Ning walked past Jiang Lan and glanced at her worriedly.
The two walked for a long time before Lu Jingchi said, "Are you going to spend the night here?"
Jiang Lan was startled, then raised his head and glanced at the man. There was no emotion on his face.
She hesitated and stood up nervously.
Lu Jingchi turned around and left. The wind brought by his coat, mixed with an unfamiliar fragrance, loomed on the tip of Jiang Lan's nose.
She followed him quietly. Lin Zheng stood in front of the car door. As soon as he opened the car door, he heard Lu Jingchi say: "Go back first."
Lin Zheng nodded, closed the car door, and turned around to make way for the two of them.
Jiang Lan sat quietly in the car. Neither of them spoke, but the temperature inside the car was very low.
She twirled her fingers, feeling anxious all the way.
When they arrived at Yujiangting, Lu Jingchi took off his coat, and Grandma Zhang limped out of the kitchen. The old man's eyes were full of joy and caution.
Grandma Zhang wiped her hands on her apron nervously and went up to pick up Lu Jingchi's coat.
"I also want to ask Lanlan when you will come back so that I can prepare dinner."
Lu Jingchi stared at the old man's face for a moment, then his eyes fell on her legs, "Are you the servant Jiang Lan found?"
His direct gaze made Grandma Zhang's face freeze. The old man stood there awkwardly, and she looked at Jiang Lan.
Then he squeezed out an awkward smile and said, "Ah...yes, yes, I...don't worry, I will definitely not delay my work."
Jiang Lan bit her lip. She lowered her head in shame and secretly pulled Lu Jingchi with her fingers, hoping that he wouldn't say anything too extreme.
But Lu Jingchi ignored her at all. He said to Grandma Zhang: "You can't even walk steadily, how can you work? This is not an orphanage. You are in the wrong place."
Lu Jingchi left these words and ignored Grandma Zhang's pale face as she passed the old man and went up to the second floor.
Jiang Lan loosened her fingers, and she stood there helplessly, looking at Grandma Zhang guiltily.
Grandma Zhang was stunned for a long time. She has lived for such a long time, and there is nothing she still doesn't understand.
When he came to his senses, the old man hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and gave Jiang Lan an embarrassing smile, "Lan Lan, then... I won't cook for you that night."
Jiang Lan felt suffocated. She grabbed Grandma Zhang's arm and shook her head.
She gestured: Wait for me.
Grandma Zhang opened her mouth and said, "Forget it, I'm used to living in that small shed. It's okay. I'll be fine when I go back."
Jiang Lan's eyes heated up, her eyes filled with pleading, and she gestured again: "Wait for me."
Am I really that useless? I can't keep anyone I care about.
God will always take pity on her once and stand on her side...
Jiang Lan turned around and went upstairs, stood in front of the study door, and knocked on Lu Jingchi's door.
The study door was not closed tightly. She just knocked twice and the door opened.
