Chapter 274 The little old lady will be very pleased.
Before Ji Ran could react, Jiang Manxi opened the door and ran out first.
Seeing this, Ji Ran sighed helplessly and got out of the car as well.
"Little... Little Flower Sister..." Jiang Manxi quickly caught up with Mo Yilan, her breathing slightly rapid.
Mo Yilan seemed not to have reacted yet. She took two more steps before stopping, turning around, and was very surprised to see Jiang Manxi.
"Miss Jiang?" Mo Yilan nodded politely to her. "What brings you here so late?"
As she spoke, she also saw Ji Ran slowly following behind Jiang Manxi.
"Xiao Leng? What are you doing here too..."
Ji Ran paused for a moment, unsure how to begin, "Uh... I'll take her home."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yilan nodded in understanding. She figured it was probably because they were going out to a party together, since they were very close.
However, Mo Yilan glanced back at her apartment building, then turned back to look at the two of them, somewhat surprised.
"Does Miss Jiang also own property here?"
"Huh? No..." Jiang Manxi replied truthfully without thinking, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Uh..." Now it was Mo Yilan's turn to be confused. Since she didn't own any property here, why did they take her to her own apartment when they were sending her home?
Ji Ran noticed her confusion, but not knowing how to explain, he simply pretended to be clueless and said to Mo Yilan:
"I'm thirsty, can I get a glass of water at your place?"
Mo Yilan glanced at her, puzzled, but she couldn't possibly refuse such a small request.
"Let's go."
As she was speaking, she turned around and saw Jiang Manxi standing to the side, shrinking her neck like a quail. Although she didn't know why Jiang Manxi's hostility towards her had suddenly disappeared, she was, after all, Jiang Baishen's sister. Even if she was her friend's sister, she couldn't hold a grudge against her.
"Miss Jiang, would you like to come along too?"
"Huh?!" Jiang Manxi, suddenly called out, immediately perked up. "Okay! Thank you, Sister Xiaohua!"
Mo Yilan was bewildered by her sudden enthusiasm and politeness, but didn't react much.
Mo Yilan led the two into the building's elevator, went straight to the top floor, and arrived at her home.
There were actually two units on the top floor, but because the view from the top floor was so good, the neighbors always used the house for commercial purposes to hold parties. Mo Yilan thought it was too noisy, so she simply bought the other unit as well, knocked down the partition wall, and turned it into a super large single-level apartment.
Ji Ran strolled around seemingly casually, a faint sense of comfort flashing in her eyes, mixed with a few traces of inexplicable sadness.
She thought that if her wet nurse were still alive, she would see that Xiaohua had not only become a highly capable reporter, but also lived such a wealthy life.
The old lady will surely be very pleased.
She could almost see the barely suppressed pride on the wet nurse's face as she stood with her hands on her hips, protecting her child and shouting loudly:
"The girls in my family are all incredibly successful! You can't be envious!"
Ji Ran couldn't help but chuckle softly, then fell into a kind of sadness.
Why did the old lady leave in such a hurry?
Noticing her unusual behavior, Jiang Manxi cautiously approached her, unsure of what was wrong.
Could it be that Xiao Leng, seeing this luxurious apartment, is envious of Xiao Hua, who was adopted early and lives a carefree and wealthy life? She herself has only just found her biological parents and should have been a pampered and wealthy young lady, but instead, she lives a life of loneliness and hardship.
Sigh, how could I not feel wronged?
"Xiao Leng, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mo Yilan came over with a tray and cups. There were three cups of rock sugar lemon tea on the tray. She gave one cup to Jiang Manxi and another cup to Ji Ran.
"What are you two talking about?"
Ji Ran quickly came to her senses, took a sip of lemon tea, and said nothing.
Instead, Jiang Manxi glanced at Mo Yilan with a worried expression, as if trying to convey to her that Xiao Leng was not in a good mood.
Mo Yilan didn't quite understand what she meant, but she sensed that Xiao Leng's figure looked somewhat lonely.
Of course, she didn't have any of the thoughts that Jiang Manxi had. After all, Xiao Leng was a national first-class scientist with countless academic achievements and a wealth that far exceeded her own. Not to mention that she was now the sole heir of Lingyue Group, the richest company in Asia.
Unless Mo Yilan has lost her mind, she would never think that Xiao Leng envied her.
“By the way, Xiao Leng,” Mo Yilan brought up the topic, “I heard that Yuan Yamei and her daughter still haven’t set a date for their wedding. I have to thank President Qin for standing up for me on your behalf.”
This is a sincere statement. After all, with Zeng Nian's power and methods, if it weren't for Qin Wenzhou's influence, who would dare to keep a general's wife locked up for so long?
Upon hearing this, Ji Ran was stunned. She always felt a bit annoyed when she heard the name 'Yuan Yamei'.
Why do so many people say that Yuan Yamei is the person Qi Mu likes? Qin Wenzhou also said that Qi Mu used to have a white moonlight...
Although he said he had never liked anyone, he had even forgotten his deepest hatred for his enemies.
"But is Zeng Nian really not going to get out?" Mo Yilan was still a little worried.
Jiang Manxi, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed as if she had heard some earth-shattering news: "Really? Uncle Zeng... Zeng Nian went in?"
Mo Yilan then realized that while the media naturally had ways to get information about this, the outside world didn't know yet. She quickly made a 'shh' gesture to Jiang Manxi.
"Don't talk about this!"
Jiang Manxi obediently covered her mouth and shook her head, indicating that she would absolutely not tell.
"Hmm~" Ji Ran finally replied, "We can't get out."
Not only was Jiang Manxi shocked, but Mo Yilan was also quite surprised. Although she knew that Zeng Nian had been taken away for investigation, she did not know the specific reason.
Even more unexpectedly, this matter was so serious that it could bring Zeng Nian down.
What I casually said to Zeng Qian'er's father back then actually came true.
“I have already spoken with Zeng Qian’er’s biological father. He will testify that Zeng Nian forcibly took another man’s wife. With Zeng Qian’er as living evidence, as long as Yuan Yamei also denies it, Zeng Nian will have no way to resist.”
Mo Yilan added.
Although this kind of crime is easy for someone of Zeng Nian's status to recant, it is the kind of sordid thing that can most easily arouse netizens' emotions. Taking advantage of Zeng Nian's weakest period, stirring up this huge wave of public opinion will surely crush him completely.
"But……"
Jiang Manxi suddenly remembered that when she went to the Zeng family before, Zeng Nian and Yuan Yamei seemed to be quite affectionate. Yuan Yamei didn't seem to be forced at all, and she even acted like the matriarch, acting like Zeng Yichen's mother.
