There was a time when the two of them were in the car and Jiang Nan was on the phone with her mother. Shen Li said something at that time, mentioning Zhou Zhengan and calling him your boyfriend. Zhou Zhengan heard it.
Zhou Zhengan gave her a meaningful look at that time, as if he was saying that I am the person you are hiding.
It must have been almost half a month since that incident. Jiang Nan didn't expect Zhou Zhengan to still remember it.
Now that he suddenly mentioned it, Jiang Nan felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head and said, "I will find time to tell her as soon as possible."
Zhou Zhengan didn't say anything else.
He was just joking, but he didn't really pursue any status.
The two of them had wandered to the main entrance unknowingly.
Zhou Zhengan stood still, turned around and faced her and said, "You should go back first. I should be home around nine o'clock."
"Yeah." Jiang Nan responded, turned around and walked towards the street.
Before she had walked a few steps, Zhou Zhengan grabbed her back with her tie and pointed her in another direction: "Over there."
There was a car parked in the direction he was pointing with its headlights on.
Jiang Nan looked over, a little confused.
"There are few people here. It's too dangerous for you to walk on the street alone. Take a car and go back."
Zhou Zhengan had booked a car early and asked people to pick them up at the designated time. He even estimated clearly when they would have a good meal and walk out.
...
After Jiang Nan got in the car, Zhou Zhengan turned around and went in.
She sat in the car and kept paying attention through the transparent windows until Zhou Zhengan's figure completely disappeared from her eyes.
Just as Jiang Nan was about to look away and let the driver start, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes again.
Li Yanzhi and her assistant.
They looked at each other through the car window. Li Yanzhi's eyes were lowered. She seemed to sneer, then put on her sunglasses and got into another car.
Jiang Nan withdrew his gaze.
The driver sent Jiang Nan downstairs.
Jiang Nan called Shen Li as he walked into the building, wanting to tell her that he was going to have dinner with Zhou Zhengan on the weekend.
The phone was not connected yet. Jiang Nan stepped into the elevator and pressed the button. The door was suddenly held tightly by someone from outside.
Jiang Nan raised his eyes and saw that his wrinkled hands full of veins were holding on to the elevator door.
The next moment, the middle-aged man's eyes full of vicissitudes of life ran into Jiang Nan's eyes.
Jiang Nan was so frightened that the phone in his hand almost slipped from his hand.
She looked at the man in front of her in horror, and stepped back step by step until she was in the corner against the wall.
The man slumped into the elevator, pressed the button for the top floor, turned to ask her, "Which floor are you going to?"
His voice sounded hoarse as if it had been damaged.
Jiang Nan's heart felt as if someone had grabbed her hard, and her voice trembled slightly: "Dad."
The man looked at her seriously.
She forgot that she still had the phone in her hand, and the call was finally connected. At this moment, she heard a "Hello, Nannan."
The sound is very noticeable in a quiet space.
Jiang Feng's eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at the mobile phone in her hand.
Jiang Nan realized it and quickly lowered his head to press the red button.
Jiang Feng quickly came over to grab the phone from her. Jiang Nan's hand was holding the phone so tightly that her diaphragm bones ached.
Jiang Feng pulled hard, and Jiang Nan let go with pain. The phone was in Jiang Feng's hand. He stared at Jiang Nan, telling Jiang Nan not to move any more, and put the phone to his ear with one hand.
"Shen Li." His voice was deep.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then a woman's excited and sharp voice came: "Jiang Feng? What are you doing? Why is Nannan's cell phone with you? What are you going to do again? Want money again? I'll give it to you this time. Okay, let Nannan leave quickly, she is your daughter, can you not go crazy?"
After she finished speaking a series of words, her breathing was very unsteady.
"Why are you so anxious? Nannan is my daughter, of course I won't do anything. Why do you think so badly of me?"
Perhaps knowing that Jiang Nan was by his side, Shen Li did not dare to refute, and his tone became slower: "Then what are you going to do? Tell me."
Jiang Feng glanced at Jiang Nan, who was staring at him, and said, "Don't block me anymore, I won't ask you for money anymore."
This was probably what he said to Jiang Nan.
A tear slipped from the corner of Jiang Nan's eye, and thick fear focused in her eyes.
Jiang Feng felt very uncomfortable looking at it.
Shen Li took a deep breath: "Jiang Feng, let's do this. I'll find a way to raise 200,000 for you and stay away from my daughter and me, okay?"
Jiang Feng's face suddenly became very ferocious. His mood collapsed and he yelled at the phone: "You want to abandon me? Why don't you want me? If it weren't for you, would I go gambling? I would compensate myself. Do you want to go in? You are happy now. You are living so well with that little boy named Song. Are you afraid that I will cause trouble to you?
Shen Li, you are just a materialistic woman, you have been so cold-blooded your whole life.
I'm telling you, don't even think about getting rid of me! As long as I am alive, you will never get rid of me. "
He was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
After saying that, he hung up the phone and gave Shen Li no more chance.
Jiang Nan put his hands behind his back and held them tightly.
Jiang Feng's eyes returned to his daughter, and the hostility in his body suddenly dropped a lot.
He smiled, trying to make his smile look gentle: "Nannan, what are you afraid of? I am your father. Don't listen to your mother. Dad loves you very much, and I will only be good to you."
Little did he know that his smile was very stiff, so stiff that it looked a little scary.
Jiang Nan also knew that she shouldn't anger him at this time, so she tried her best to restrain her expression and look more natural. She said, "Then what's the matter with you?"
After being asked by her, Jiang Feng finally remembered his own business and rummaged in his pockets while saying, "Dad...Dad brought you money. I just won today, so I will give it to you right away." Sent to you."
He handed the card and mobile phone to Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan's fingers were cold and trembling slightly as he took it.
Jiang Feng was still saying: "There are 100,000 yuan in it, you keep it, and dad will pay it back to you when he makes money in the future. I won't bet big now, it's all small money, and I won't do anything wrong again."
Dad is sorry that I lost your job before. "
The elevator reached the top floor. No one was going out at the moment. I closed and closed it several times before walking down.
"Dad, how did you know my address?" Jiang Nan made his tone sound normal.
Jiang Feng smiled sheepishly: "I checked your information on the Internet. The news on the Internet said that you resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I guessed that it had something to do with my affairs, so I followed the clues and searched, and found it. I went to where you currently work, and then I waited for you downstairs in that company until you got off work. I followed you and saw you enter this building.
"I heard people say that the land price in this place is one of the best. It seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs paid you a lot of money, right? It's a pity. If you haven't resigned yet, the salary must be good."
Seeing the smile in Jiang Nan's eyes, her heart cooled down little by little, until she became completely cold.
The elevator reached the first floor, the door opened, and the man outside the door entered the elevator. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people was a bit strange, he looked at them a few more times.
Jiang Nan took the opportunity and said, "Dad, you should go back and rest first. It's too late today."
Her hands were held tightly behind her back.
Jiang Feng seemed a little hesitant. He originally wanted to visit his daughter's residence, but now it seemed that it was indeed a bit late.
He nodded, got out of the elevator, and waved to Jiang Nan inside: "Then dad will come see you next time."
Jiang Nan didn't respond, just pursed her lips and smiled at him.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Jiang Nan's body went limp uncontrollably and she squatted down. Tears fell. She covered her mouth with cold palms and cried softly, suppressing it tightly.
The man who was riding in the same elevator with him was startled. He bent down unnaturally and asked, "Miss, are you... okay?"
Jiang Nan shook his head, breathing heavily to calm down his emotions.
*
At around nine o'clock, Zhou Zhengan returned home and saw that the lights in the living room, storage room, bedroom, kitchen, etc. were all on. The house was so bright that he couldn't help but feel strange.
Zhou Zhengan changed his shoes and walked into the living room. He looked around and saw Jiang Nan's figure. He called out: "Jiang Nan."
After a while, Jiang Nan walked out of the bedroom.
Zhou Zhengan actually felt that she looked a little haggard, even though she was still in high spirits during dinner in the afternoon.
He frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
When Jiang Nan saw him, she felt relieved and relaxed a lot. Her voice was a little soft: "I'm fine. I just had a phone call with my mother. I was a little tired after calling for a long time."
Zhou Zhengan still felt something was wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Then go to bed early."
Jiang Nan nodded and turned back to the bedroom.
At 10:30 at night, the bedroom was already dark, and only some light could be seen in the bathroom.
Zhou Zhengan walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and blow-drying his hair.
The bathroom door opened, and a beam of light shone outside, shining on a figure huddled on the bed.
Jiang Nan's back was facing the light, and only her head was covered by the thick quilt. It was not difficult to see her bent body under the quilt.
She seemed to be a little tired tonight as she said. While he was taking a bath, she had fallen asleep so peacefully.
Zhou Zhengan turned off the light, walked to the other side of the bed and lay down.
Their bed was very big, and they slept next to each other. The distance between them felt like they could accommodate two more people.
So usually when they are asleep, the two of them don't feel each other very well.
Zhou Zhengan always felt that this was quite normal, and it was not much different from when he slept alone before.
But tonight, it seems a little different.
After turning off the lamp, Jiang Nan seemed to have a somewhat uneasy sleep.
Her body turned over and over, and the rustling sound of the quilt was so loud in the silent night.
Zhou Zhengan could feel her moving towards him little by little, as if she was looking for a body to lean on.
He couldn't help but wonder whether the heat was not turned on enough, so Jiang Nan kept leaning towards him when he felt cold?
