    After a while, he pulled the corners of his lips and laughed at himself, why bother, why deceive himself.

    All morning, Jiang Shu was absent-minded. During the meeting, his eyes only stayed on the mobile phone. He was worried about it ringing for no reason. He was afraid that Wen Ning would call to urge him to go back to the divorce formalities.

    The prince was in a bad mood, and the people under him faintly noticed that the entire company was immersed in low air pressure, and he was afraid even to breathe.

    At the end of the Chinese New Year holiday, many departments have accumulated a lot of work. Originally, there were several documents that were imminent. However, seeing Jiang Shu's appearance now, no one dared to hit the gun, for fear of hearing the phrase "withdrawal of capital" from his mouth. ', all the efforts were in vain.

    Just one day later, Jiang Shu's cell phone did not ring again.

    Wen Ning didn't come to him as scheduled, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while, his brows wrinkled again.

    After all, he hadn't seen her for a long time.

    When got home, the little girl was no longer greeted with excitement and shyness in front of the door.

    The man picked up the phone, clicked on the address book, and after finding Wen Ning's phone number, his finger stayed on the dial button for a long time, and finally he couldn't help dialing it.

    It's just a phone call, everyone belongs to him, what's the fuss about when he makes a phone call.

    "Sorry, the number you dialed is empty."

    The icy artificial voice kept looping, and Jiang Shu continued typing without expression.

    Call again, still empty.

    A few days passed, Wen Ning didn't contact him, there was no smile on the man's face, and there was no reason to panic.

    Cold City is a cold and cruel place, full of competition and lack of humanity. She is a little girl in her early twenties, and she doesn't even have much money on her body. After spending so many days outside alone, where can she go...

    When Wen Ning came out of Yuganwan, she was mentally prepared to sleep on the street.

    This place is worth every inch of land, and the money in her hand can't last long.

    In the first few days, whenever night fell, she hid in the ATM hall of the bank for the night.

    Although the conditions are very different from Yuganwan, it can at least shelter from the wind and rain.

    After squatting in the corner of the ATM hall with her backpack for a week, the little girl finally found an old building far from the center of the city.

    There is a small attic on the top of the building, which was added privately when there was no unified planning in the early years. The room is small in size and can only accommodate a folding bed, and the bathroom is outside.

    Originally, this room was occupied by an elderly person who was sick in bed at home. The elderly person died a while ago, so it was vacated.

    The landlord first met Wen Ning and was reluctant to rent her, worried that the little girl's squeamish family wouldn't be able to endure hardships. The conditions in this place are really poor, and most people can't stand it.

    Wen Ning pursued it for several days, but the divorce procedure she had made with Jiang Shu was delayed because of this.

    It's hard to talk to the landlord.

    Before signing the contract, the landlord also reminded: "The old man has just passed away in this house. Many people are taboo about this. If you are afraid, don't sign it. After you sign it, you don't want to rent. The rent and deposit will not be refunded. Think clearly."

    Wen Ning was really timid, but she really had no better place to go. Worried that the landlord would go back on it, she hurriedly signed the house.

    After two days of packing and settling, on the third day, finally returned to Yuganwan.

    Before going, she made a phone call to the villa, which was answered by Xu's mother. She quietly sighed and asked Xu's mother to tell Jiang Shu, and she went over immediately.

    As soon as Jiang Shu, who had been put away by Wen Ning for a few days, received a call from Xu's mother, an indescribable annoyance filled his heart.

    She had been gone for so many days, and he desperately wanted to see her from the bottom of his heart, but this meeting meant that she would really disappear from his account book.

    The man's face was sullen, and it was rare for him to be distracted for a while, but he couldn't hold back the desire to see her, grabbed the car key on the table, and hurried back to Yuganwan.

    In fact, there has always been a special underground private garage on Yuganwan. The garage elevator is connected to the first floor of the villa, and it is very convenient to enter and exit without going through the gate.

    In the past, Jiang Shu was always used to driving the car directly to the ground, and he didn't know when, in order to see Wen Ning leaning on the Roman pillar in front of the door and waiting for him to go home gently, he drove the car to the door every time.

    Entering Yuganwan today, he changed his previous habit, drove the car back underground, and then took the elevator directly upstairs, deliberately avoiding Wen Ning.

    The man stood by the curtain of the master bedroom, and through the window, he could directly see the gate in front of the courtyard.

    He had just arrived upstairs when Wen Ning also arrived at the door.

    The little girl, wearing a clean but outdated padded jacket, stood quietly outside the yard and did not come in.

    Jiang Shu was very familiar with this dress. No matter whether she was in winter or summer, she always had only two sets of clothes to change back and forth. She was simple and frugal from beginning to end, and she never touched his card.

    The little milk dog who ran alone to the courtyard for a walk recognized Wen Ning. He hadn't seen him for so long. He excitedly turned around in place several times, and then slammed his tail towards Wen Ning.

    The little girl has been strong for so many days and has resisted crying, but now she can't help her red eyes.

    Seeing Wen Ning coming, Mother Xu went upstairs to look for Jiang Shu.

    The man stood by the window, staring silently at the girl holding the puppy in the courtyard downstairs, his eyes not willing to leave for a moment.

    "Tell her I'm not here."

    He just wanted to look at her quietly.

    Wen Ning listened to Xu Ma's words, bit her lip and thought for a while: "Xu Ma, please call him for me."

    A few seconds later, the mobile phone in Jiang Shu's pocket vibrated, and the man looked at the girl who called him downstairs, his thin lips pursed tightly, and finally he couldn't help picking it up: "Hello."

    "Jiang Shu." Her voice was as gentle as ever, but the love she once held for him was gone, "I know you are at home, come down, finish the formalities, and you will be free."

    "You don't have to give me the compensation written in the original agreement. I won't take it if it's not mine. Don't worry."
