Chapter 351: Leaving the House with Nothing Is As It Should Be
Wu Lan looked ahead intently, holding the steering wheel steadily with both hands. The police car was speeding on the quiet road, and the scenery along the way was quickly receding like a flowing painting.
Wu Lan's mind had already flown to the mysterious villa halfway up the mountain, hidden behind the prosperity.
The police car slowly stopped at the address specified by Song Shijie, and Wu Lan swiftly opened the door and got out.
She straightened her police uniform and walked towards the door with confident steps. After looking around, she confirmed the address and reached out to ring the doorbell.
After a while, the security guard came out and asked politely, "Hello, comrade, who are you looking for?"
Wu Lan said in a heroic manner: "I'll find Jiang Chengyu and tell him my name is Wu Lan. I want to talk to him about something."
The security guard responded with a smile: "Please wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Wu Lan nodded and watched the security guard turn around and run inside.
Wu Lan took the opportunity to look around and saw that the manor had a unique architectural style and was surrounded by green trees and colorful flowers.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Rich people are different. This big manor, a paradise on earth, is probably like this?"
Not long after, the security guard and Mrs. Wang came out. The security guard smiled and opened the door and said, "Please come in."
Wu Lan nodded and looked at Wang Sao, then followed closely. Soon she followed Wang Sao into the living room, and the scene before her really shocked her.
She had only seen castle and palace-like buildings in books and TV dramas before, and she never expected that today she would be able to step into such a luxurious residence in person.
Mrs. Wang took Wu Lan upstairs, reminding her, "Miss, be careful with your steps."
Wu Lan responded politely: "Thank you!"
Soon, Wang's wife walked to the bedroom door and gently opened it. Wu Lan saw Jiang Chengyu lying on the big bed, holding the stinky baby and playing happily. The baby's clear and crisp laughter echoed in the room, instantly infecting Wu Lan.
Wu Lan's eyes instantly flashed with childlike innocence, and Mrs. Wang gently closed the door and left.
Wu Lan looked around and saw that the room was filled with toys and baby supplies, and it was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Jiang Chengyu hurriedly got up and carried Choubao off the bed, saying enthusiastically, "Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"
Wu Lan stared at Jiang Chengyu intently, and couldn't help but scolded: "Jiang Chengyu, is it really you?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled brightly and said, "What? Don't you recognize me?" Then he sat on the sofa and pressed the boiling water button to help heat the water.
Choubao was babbling happily and dancing in his arms, as if he was telling something.
Wu Lan sighed: "No wonder Mu Xiaoji wanted to know if you were doing well. It's only been a short time since we last met. How come you've lost so much weight?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled softly, looked at the child in his arms and said, "I'm doing well, you've seen it all! He always likes to make a fuss, don't take it seriously. What do you want from me?"
Wu Lan got back to the point: "Mu Xiaoji asked me to find you. He wanted to secretly see what kind of person your woman is."
Jiang Chengyu chuckled, picked up the cup, put some tea leaves into it, and poured hot water into it skillfully. "Please have some tea."
Wu Lan quickly took the cup: "Thank you."
At this time, Choubao saw Wu Lan and curiously stretched out his little hands to grab her, babbling.
Jiang Chengyu helped him sit down, but the little guy twisted and turned restlessly in his arms, jumping up and down from time to time and screaming with joy.
Wu Lan asked with concern: "He's very noisy, so you can't rest well and eat well, right?"
Jiang Chengyu shook his head and looked at the child with eyes full of doting: "No, children all grow up like this, we just don't remember it!"
Wu Lan looked at Jiang Chengyu and asked seriously and softly, "Do you want to see Mu Xiaoji?"
Jiang Chengyu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That's not necessary!"
Wu Lan couldn't help but frown slightly, her eyes full of worry, and continued angrily: "It's okay if he doesn't know, but you clearly know that there are too many misunderstandings, why don't you explain it to him?"
There was a hint of urgency in Wu Lan's voice, as if she was speaking up for the person who was kept in the dark.
Jiang Chengyu had a calm face, and his deep eyes showed a bit of helplessness. He slowly asked, "What is there to explain? Originally, everything was my fault. Do you want me to tell him that I did all this for his own good?"
His voice was low and contained a hint of self-mockery, as if he was questioning the world.
Wu Lan was stunned for a moment, feeling that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this statement, and nodded quickly: "Yes! At least, he won't hate you to the core!" She urgently hoped that Jiang Chengyu could make changes and resolve the misunderstandings.
Jiang Chengyu laughed at himself without further explanation. He reached out to take the measuring cup next to the coffee table, skillfully added milk powder, then added an appropriate amount of sugar to the measuring cup, and then reached out to get hot water.
At this time, Xiao Choubao curiously reached out to grab the measuring cup. Seeing this, Wu Lan hurriedly said, "I'll help you."
Jiang Chengyu responded without even looking up: "No, you don't know how much water to add."
He held the stinky baby tightly in his strong arm, and with his other hand he picked up the hot water, poured it skillfully into the bottle, and then shook it gently. His movements were skillful and natural.
Wu Lan watched him take care of the child so skillfully, and a ripple appeared in her heart. She made up her mind and asked softly: "Why don't you go see Xiaoji?"
There was a hint of expectation in Wu Lan's eyes, as if she was waiting for Jiang Chengyu's response.
Jiang Chengyu was silent for a while, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Let me think about it."
His voice was a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about something. After he finished speaking, he reached out to take the scarf, tied it under Choubao's neck, and then handed the bottle to Choubao's mouth.
The stinky baby kept humming to Jiang Chengyu while holding the bottle tightly in both hands and eating with great relish.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Choubao's cute appearance, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, as if at this moment, all the troubles were temporarily thrown behind his mind.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the room, casting a warm hue on this cozy scene. After Choubao had eaten his fill, he tilted his head and fell asleep quietly in Jiang Chengyu's arms.
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of doting, and gently adjusted the way he held the child, for fear of disturbing the little one.
Wu Lan looked at his fatherly love and couldn't help feeling touched.
She quietly looked at Jiang Chengyu's tall back standing in front of the window, with a little more admiration in her eyes, and a deeper understanding of him.
Jiang Chengyu has always been a man of few words, but his deep affection for children is touching.
Jiang Chengyu raised his head and looked through the window, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said, "Can you not tell him that I live here?
The day after tomorrow I will go shopping for Chou Bao and meet him." Jiang Chengyu's voice was very soft, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Police officer Wu Lan looked serious and assured, "Don't worry, I won't interfere too much in your affairs. But he has unfulfilled wishes, and using the police to look for you will cause unrest for everyone."
Wu Lan is well aware of the complexity of this matter. She hopes that Jiang Chengyu can handle these relationships well and avoid unnecessary complications.
Jiang Chengyu took a deep breath and said with deep emotion: "I understand. See you at the shopping mall the day after tomorrow."
He knew Mu Xiaoji's temper and personality very well. After careful consideration, he made up his mind to face this person he had not seen for a long time and resolve those complicated misunderstandings.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Jiang Chengyu's face. He was holding the child, and his eyes revealed a firm yet complex expression.
This decision may change a lot of things, but he knows that some things must be faced eventually.
Wu Lan looked at him and prayed silently in her heart that everything could be resolved smoothly. She believed that Jiang Chengyu was capable of handling these things. After all, he was a real man.
The next morning, on the bustling streets of Kuncheng, the sun shone on the glass of the commercial shopping center, reflecting a dazzling light.
Jiang Chengyu sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the sleeping Choubao, his heart full of tenderness.
He quietly asked Xiang Xiaowu to drive the car into the underground parking lot. When the car stopped, he carefully handed Choubao to Mrs. Wang and whispered:
"You guys wait here for me to come over. Don't go out easily. I will be back as soon as possible." After saying that, he gently pushed open the car door, got out of the car, and walked hurriedly towards the elevator.
After a while, Jiang Chengyu came to the baby products area. There were a wide variety of goods here, and he picked out the items he needed with ease, his eyes focused and serious.
Just when he was about to pay the bill, four members of the public security team suddenly arrived.
They said politely, "Excuse me sir, please cooperate with us to go to the security room for a routine check."
Jiang Chengyu looked around helplessly. Before he could say anything, two policemen grabbed his arms and hurried towards the security room.
Walking into the security room, Jiang Chengyu saw Mu Xiaoji sitting upright on the sofa, and Wu Lan standing next to the monitoring desk.
Jiang Chengyu asked calmly, "Boss Mu, with such a big move, what else do you want from me?"
Jiang Chengyu's voice was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and fatigue.
Mu Xiaoji looked at Jiang Chengyu being held by someone, and quickly stood up and said with an unhappy look on his face: "What are you doing? If he didn't make any mistakes."
Seeing this, Wu Lan hurried over and said to the security guards and public security team members, "Go out and wait."
After hearing what Wu Lan said, the security guard and four members of the public security team turned around and left the security room, then closed the door.
Wu Lan looked at Mu Xiaoji and said peaceably, "I have found the person for you. Take him home this time and take good care of him. If there is any misunderstanding, listen to everyone's explanation calmly. Don't act like a child and start a cold war." Wu Lan's voice was gentle and her eyes were full of concern.
Jiang Chengyu said coldly: "I'm sorry, I have something to do at home, I should go back!" After that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute," Mu Xiaoji hurriedly stopped him.
Jiang Chengyu had his back to him when he heard Mu Xiaoji take out the black gold card and mobile phone, put them on the table and said, "These are all your things, keep them for yourself."
Jiang Chengyu turned around, looked at the black gold card and mobile phone on the table, and responded: "We no longer have a relationship. It was my fault first. I should be kicked out of the house. Take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Jiang Chengyu resolutely left the security room. The closed door seemed to show his resolute determination, which instantly chilled Mu Xiaoji's heart.
