The next day, Wang Yan sent a message to Gu Jia, expressing his gratitude, and then stopped flirting.
You can't tease her too much with this thing. It's easy to backfire if you tease her for no reason. Don't act rashly.
In the next few days, Wang Yan did not contact Gu Jia and the others, and was busy with his own affairs as usual.
At the same time, he was always paying attention to the movements of Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan. After all, the plot did not set a specific time. He knew it would happen, but he did not know when it would happen.
Just like in the original drama, Gu Jia, with the help of Mrs. Wang, and they paid another sum of money to successfully send Xu Ziyan to a high-end kindergarten.
At the same time, I also saw what Mrs. Wang's life was like and began her journey to upgrade her status in the wife circle.
In these aspects, Wang Yan had basically no influence on her.
He also didn't want to bother with the mess that a group of women were causing all day long. It was really boring.
To be honest, Wang Yan dislikes the wives' circle, and even most of the characters in the entire plot. I won't name them one by one, as it doesn't make sense.
No one provoked him, so it's impossible for him to bully others just because he doesn't like them. It's not worth the energy.
There are too many people in real life that I can’t stand, and I can’t deal with them all. Just out of sight, out of mind.
That day, Wang Yan received a call.
The person on the other end of the phone said that Gu Jia went to Muzi's mother's house.
These were two of Wang Yan's recent recruits. With the dual guarantees of force and money, the process was, of course, trouble-free. They weren't any good either; Wang Yan even had some dirt on them. They'd likely receive a minimum sentence of ten to eight years. He'd completely subjugated them, and assigned them to keep watch.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yan drove to a nearby place without saying a word.
After a while, Gu Jia came out holding Xu Ziyan, looking a little embarrassed.
Today, Xu Huanshan threw a tantrum and got into a fight with General Wan. She went to offer a drink to apologize, hoping General Wan would put aside his grudge and that peace and harmony would bring prosperity. It turned out that General Wan, the old bastard, had ill intentions and was plotting against her, and she took advantage of him. Naturally, she left in anger.
Their fireworks company had been relying on this order to survive, but now it's in such a mess that they can't even pay salaries, and they don't know how to collect the money.
When she returned home, she discovered her son wasn't home, nor was Xu Huanshan. She immediately figured he'd gone to play football. She went to look for Xu Ziyan, only to be locked up in a dark room and abused by Muzi's mother and the others. Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong, and that meant they couldn't tolerate their own ill-treatment. She was outnumbered, and she gave them a beating.
Walking on the road, Gu Jia thought about what happened today, and couldn't help feeling sad, with tears in her eyes.
As she thought about it, she thought of Xu Huanshan, their vows of eternal love, their romantic love story. Then the scene shifted to the bullying he had suffered today. His wife and children had been bullied, and he was so heartless that he went out to play football with the others. Gu Jia cursed Xu Huanshan inwardly.
As she thought about it, she thought of Wang Yan, with whom she had dinner a few days ago.
If it were Wang Yan, none of this would have happened today.
But she couldn't help but recall the ambiguity of that night, Wang Yan's warm and broad chest, and his angular muscles that could be felt even through his clothes.
Wang Yan seized the opportunity and pretended to drive past Gu Jia and her son.
He looked back, stopped the car and backed up.
Gu Jia was still looking at the car in confusion when she saw the window rolled down, revealing Wang Yan's smiling face.
When she saw Wang Yan, Gu Jia, who was still daydreaming, felt her face turn particularly hot.
Wang Yan opened the door and got out of the car, calling out to Gu Jia, "Gu Jia, why are you carrying the child by yourself?"
Then he opened the car door and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you home."
When Gu Jia came up to him with the child in her arms, Wang Yan looked at her red-eyed and slightly disheveled hair and asked, "What's wrong? Your eyes are red. Are you crying?"
Gu Jia didn't look at Wang Yan. As she carried Xu Ziyan into the car, she explained, "It was so windy just now that something got into my eyes."
Seeing that she obviously didn't want to say more, Wang Yan didn't say anything more.
He closed the car door, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards Grand Hyatt.
On the way, Wang Yan asked while driving: "Where is Lao Xu? Why isn't he with you?"
The wine should not be drunk in vain, and the two of them called each other brothers. He called Xu Huanshan Lao Xu, and Xu Huanshan called him Lao Wang.
Gu Jia still hasn't digested the situation yet, and she gets angry when she mentions Xu Huanshan. His wife and children were bullied, and it can be said that it was all because of him. In the end, after he finished the matter, he threw a tantrum and went to play football with his friends as if nothing had happened.
But how could I tell Wang Yan about this kind of thing? I could only reluctantly say, "He's at the company. He's been very busy lately."
Wang Yan smiled secretly, nodded and stopped talking, concentrating on driving. At this time, Gu Jia obviously had no interest in chatting with them.
The two were speechless, and the car was extremely quiet for a while.
Gu Jia, who was sitting in the back, looked at Wang Yan who was driving seriously through the rearview mirror. She recalled the scene she had just thought of, and her heart began to waver.
After a meal a few days ago, no one else said anything, but Xu Ziyan kept clamoring to play with Uncle Wang, whether he had something to do or not. He really liked Uncle Wang who respected him.
After Xu Huanshan sobered up the next day, he still criticized Lao Wang for his shortcomings.
Not to mention her, she would think of Wang Yan from time to time.
In addition, after what happened today, Wang Yan appeared in time, which made him completely established in Gu Jia's heart.
The place where Gu Jia got on the car was not far from Grand Hyatt Mansion and they arrived there in a moment.
Wang Yan drove the car into the underground garage and took Xu Ziyan, who was sleeping in Gu Jia's arms.
During the process, Wang Yan touched Gu Jia's hand, and Gu Jia took a breath of cold air.
Wang Yan heard the noise and asked, "What's going on? Let me take a look."
As he spoke, he held Xu Ziyan in one hand and reached for Gu Jia's hand. Gu Jia subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she was nowhere near as fast as Wang Yan, who grabbed her hand directly. She symbolically pulled her hand away and then gave up.
Wang Yan looked at Gu Jia's hands and found that some parts were broken and bleeding, and some parts were blue. Then he rolled up her sleeves and found some scratches.
Come to think of it, Gu Jia hugged several people by herself. Even if she trained, she was still just an ordinary woman, not a professional fighter. How could it be just a scratch? Xu Huanshan only noticed the injury on his hand and was a little heartless.
Wang Yan pretended to be unconscious and asked, "How did it happen?"
Before Gu Jia could even start making up a lie, he continued, "Come on, stop making it up. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
Gu Jia smiled embarrassedly and said nothing, just looked at Wang Yan gently.
"Come on, let's go to my place. I'll give you some medicine to apply. It would be bad if it leaves a scar, so we need to deal with it quickly."
Without waiting for Gu Jia to refuse, Wang Yan hugged Xu Ziyan forcefully and turned around and left.
Gu Jia opened her mouth at the back, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything and followed Wang Yan into the elevator.
When they reached the 18th floor, Wang Yan opened the door, carried the child to his bed and let him sleep comfortably.
He poured Gu Jia a glass of water and asked her to look around while he went to find medicine.
Gu Jia had seen all the decorations before, but that was a novelty that wore off. This time she was looking at the decorations in the house.
A few days ago, at Mrs. Wang's house, she saw the water lily painting and was really shocked.
This time, seeing all kinds of calligraphy and paintings hanging in Wang Yan's house, she was also very curious. After all, she looked at them in a hurry last time, so this time she looked at them carefully.
Wang Yan found the medicine and came out, and saw Gu Jia looking at a landscape painting on the wall.
"Do you know anything about these things?" Wang Yan asked.
"Ah, I don't understand. I just took a look out of curiosity."
Gu Jia said, "Wang Yan, you have a whole room full of these things. Do you like them?"
Wang wasn't one to feign knowledge. "It's all right, I just think these things look natural and comfortable hanging in the house. I don't really know anything about these things, but I consider it a hobby and a way to show off my elegance."
Gu Jia was surprised by Wang Yan's frankness: "So these things of yours are very expensive, right?"
"A few hundred thousand per piece, mostly works by lesser-known artists," Wang Yan replied. This was all told to him by the system; there weren't any famous works by famous people.
"Okay, forget about those things. Your injury is more important."
Wang Yan urged, "Hurry up, I'll take care of it for you."
The two sat down on the futon in the living room, and Wang Yan began to treat Gu Jia's wound.
There's no magic medicine or anything, just some household supplies. It's basically no big deal, just apply some medicine and it's done.
Looking at Wang Yan who was carefully applying medicine to her and feeling the warmth of Wang Yan's hand touching her, Gu Jia couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts again.
He quickly shook his head and started to make small talk, bringing up Mrs. Wang.
She said, "Mrs. Wang, do you know? He lives on our top floor."
Seeing Wang Yan nod, Gu Jia continued, "A few days ago, I went to her to help with Ziyan's schooling, and I saw Monet's water lilies at her house."
Without even looking up, Wang Yan continued to tend to the wound, saying without hesitation, "That's fake. I don't know much about painting. I've only heard of Monet, but I haven't made any special effort to learn more about him."
"But I know more about the family of Mrs. Wang you mentioned."
This is what Wang Yan found out during this period of investigation. He has investigated almost all the characters in the play.
Hearing him say this, Gu Jia said "Oh?" for a moment and waited for his next words.
"There's too much to list, so I'll just briefly explain. Mrs. Wang's family is primarily in the real estate business, and it's a decent size, around 10 or 8 billion."
"There are some other miscellaneous businesses, but they are not systematic and have no future. I won't mention them."
"Mrs. Wang's husband is called Wang Hongyuan, and he's a well-known playboy. He has...quite a few other people out there."
He gave Gu Jia a look: "Mrs. Wang is old and ugly, you know."
Gu Jia understood instantly.
Although Mrs. Wang was the legal wife, the first wife, and had considerable wealth, she ultimately depended on her husband for survival. She didn't even mention cash flow or funding issues. Even if she could afford it, she understood the principles of antiques from the golden age, and collecting them would undoubtedly increase in value. The key point was, if you had the money, buying chicken feather paintings or investing it in real estate wouldn't yield much more than that.
If her husband knew what she did, he would definitely kick her out of the house.
Thinking of the ambiguous look Wang Yan gave her just now, Gu Jia's face turned red and she didn't dare to look at Wang Yan.
Gu Jia looks somewhat seductive at this moment.
Gu Jia also felt that Wang Yan was different, but she didn't dare to say anything. The two of them just acted out the show.
After a long time, I finally treated all the external injuries.
"That's enough. Judging from your condition, your body is definitely not going to get better."
Wang Yan said, "I can't help you with that. Let Lao Xu take care of it for you when we get back."
Ignoring Gu Jia's red face, Wang Yan packed up the medicine and said, "If you have nothing to do, bring Zi Yan to play with me. I like this kid very much."
"I won't keep you here, or else Lao Xu will be worried, go back quickly."
Gu Jia fled in a panic holding the child.
Back home, Gu Jia, with a flushed face, casually brushed off the nanny's concern.
After settling Xu Ziyan down, Gu Jia quickly took a bath. She didn't have the heart to think about the bullying she had suffered today, and she needed to calm down for a while.
After taking a bath and applying some medicine on his body, Xu Huanshan came back.
Seeing Gu Jia alone on the balcony looking at the scenery, Xu Huanshan walked over and sat down next to her: "What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
Gu Jia didn't look at him, she was afraid of being discovered guilty: "No, I was just looking at the scenery."
Xu Huanshan grabbed her hand and was about to speak when he felt something wrong with the texture of her hand. It was not as smooth as usual.
He raised his hand to his eyes and saw the treated wound on it: "How did it become like this?"
Gu Jia explained: "It's nothing, I just fell down accidentally, I've taken care of it."
Xu Huanshan had no doubts and just told Gu Jia to be careful. He then asked about Mr. Wan's affairs.
Gu Jia was somewhat disappointed with his performance. They were both men, so why was there such a big difference between them?
Perhaps because she had completed her self-improvement, or perhaps because of the guilt she felt for her ambiguous relationship with Wang Yan, Gu Jia did not bother with Xu Huanshan. Instead, she began to comfort Xu Huanshan, saying that she respected his ideas and would do things according to his ideas.
After the two of them talked for a while, they went back to sleep.
Xu Huanshan wanted to get intimate with her, but Gu Jia refused on the grounds that she smelled of medicine and was not feeling well.
He didn't say much; he was tired after playing soccer all night. He only brought it up because he was so excited after the workout.
After Gu Jia left, Wang Yan received a WeChat call from Wang Manni, who said she needed comfort.
Wang Yan, who was in desperate need of a firefight after the previous volley of excitement, was also eager to do so. Old Wang was always straightforward; there was no point in not doing something. He simply asked for Wang Manni's address, got in the car, and headed out to set off fireworks.
At this time, Wang Manni was helpless. She was framed by Linda and could not save herself. She tossed and turned at home, thinking about how to solve this matter. After all, this evil incident tarnished her, and she was definitely not going to be able to continue in this society.
How else could she reach the elite? How could she find a rich Prince Charming who loved only her?
She thought about it over and over but still had no idea what to do. She needed to vent, to vent hard. So, she couldn't help but think of the powerful person who brought her great happiness, Wang Yan.
She nervously called Wang Yan because she had been flirting with him for no reason since the last time, but unfortunately, Wang Yan didn't pay any attention to her. She wasn't sure if Wang Yan would answer this time.
To her surprise, Wang Yan accepted the call and agreed after she explained her intentions.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Manni quickly started to clean up the house.
Not long after, Wang Yan arrived and found a place to park the car.
Following the address, I found Wang Manni's rental house, knocked, and the door opened.
He closed the door and without saying a word, he picked up Wang Manni by the waist.
After a long time, Wang Yan leaned on the bed and smoked after feeling comfortable.
Wang Manni was talking to herself, telling Wang Yan about what had happened during this period.
This line had no impact on Wang Yan's plans, so he didn't worry about it. He simply told her what Zhong Xiaoqin had said, asking her to find the person who deposited points at the corresponding time, and then follow that person to find the end.
Wang Manni felt like a bolt from the blue, and everything suddenly became clear.
I found a solution, and all the knots in my heart were gone. I am so grateful to Wang Yan.'
Once again, I would like to thank my brothers.
