Chapter 496 She's Unworthy

Xu Wan walked through the corridor, walked across the small bridge, and when she returned to the pavilion, she heard Qingge say to Haichen, "When will you have time to help me perform the operation? I can... but I still want to try."

Her words brought the bewildered Xu Wan back to reality. When she heard that Qingge was going to have surgery, she was a little worried, so she walked in and asked, "What surgery?" She pressed, "Qingge, what kind of surgery are you going to do?"

"Hush!" Qingge motioned her to keep her voice down.

"What's wrong with you? Are you doing any surgery?" Xu Wan looked at her and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, and afraid that she might be worried, Qingge had no choice but to say, "I have a little problem with gynecology."

Xu Wan is a genius, how can she believe her words, "How can an operation be performed on a small problem?" She turned to ask Haichen, "What's wrong with her?"

Haichen raised her eyebrows lightly, just looked at Qingge and didn't speak.After all, it is better to let the parties themselves discuss such matters of privacy.

Under Xu Wan's repeated questioning, Qingge said with some reservations, "You know, I want to have another child, but there is something wrong with my fallopian tubes, which will affect my pregnancy,"

"Really?" Xu Wan looked at her.

Qingge nodded, "Ask Haichen if you don't believe me."

Haichen could only nod cooperatively, "Qingge really needs an operation."

"Will the surgery be risky?" Xu Wan asked with a frown.

Haichen is a doctor, and her professional habits make her very frank when faced with these problems. She said, "Any operation will have certain risks."

"Then don't do it." Xu Wan said decisively.

"Xiaowan!" Qingge said.

"Don't you already have a little boy? Don't have another one." Xu Wan said.

"But I still want to have another child." Qingge said, "Besides, this is just a minor operation..."

"There are many people in DINK, let alone you already have a child." Xu Wan said a little excitedly, there are too many variables in this world. In the film and television city, she has seen the end of life several times without warning, because She was afraid of worrying, so she didn't want Qingge to take any risks.

Qingge didn't expect her to be so excited, so she said comfortingly, "How cute the child is, Xiaowan, after you become a mother, you will understand how I feel."

After Xu Wan heard this, her expression was a little strange, and her tone was a little blunt, "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand, because in my life, I will never get married, let alone have children."

Her extreme and out-of-the-ordinary excitement made Qingge and Haichen look at each other, and the scene was a little cold for a while.Haichen made an excuse to see the child and left, only Qingge and Xu Wan were left in the gazebo.

Xu Wan was in a bad mood. When she realized what she said that was too extreme just now, she slightly lowered her eyes in embarrassment, "Sorry, I was too..."

"Why do you have the idea...of not getting married and having children?" Qingge pulled her to sit down, and what Xu Wan said just now really made her a little confused.Being single means being orphaned forever, which is naturally not what she wants to see.

Xu Wan looked a little sad, but she said frankly, "It happened a long time ago," she said, "I'm afraid of being tied down, and I just want to live alone."

"Get rid of your thoughts," Qingge said, "Girls, you should follow the steps and do what you should do at the right age."

"Your thoughts are already outdated," Xu Wan said agitatedly. She suddenly wanted to smoke, opened her bag, and found it was empty. Wu Jing's face flashed in her mind, and she frowned slightly. "Same-sex marriage is now legal abroad."

"Don't try to fool me again, saying that you like women." Qingge said.

"Don't worry, my sexual orientation is normal." Xu Wan seemed to be joking, but there was a hint of helplessness in her words.

Qingge was a little speechless for a while, and then said, "When you meet a man who makes your heart beat, you will find how easy it is to overthrow your idea."

"Maybe!" Xu Wan said lightly.

"Just like me, even though I know it's hard to conceive, I will try my best to have another child with Fengcheng." Qingge said, "Xiaowan, one day, you will want to have a child for the man you love of."

"There will never be such a day," Xu Wan said categorically, "I may meet a man I am attracted to, but I will never have a child."

Seeing her stubborn and extreme thoughts, Qingge didn't dare to say anything for a while.

*
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Wan said goodbye to Haichen. Haichen handed the baby to the nanny and said, "It seems that Wu Jing is going back to the city too. Xiao Wan, you can take his car." Here In the suburbs, there is still half an hour's drive from the city, and it is not easy to take a taxi when going out.

When Xu Wan was about to refuse, Hai Chen had already walked towards the chess and card room. She stood at the door and said inside, "Wu Jing, don't you want to go back to the city too? Help me see Xiao Wan off."

With some distance between them, Xu Wan was a little anxious, but she didn't hear what Wu Jing said.But soon, Haichen approached her, "Xiaowan, wait a minute, he will come out after this round."

Xu Wan immediately said, "Actually, don't bother him, I'll just go out and take a taxi." She thought, before he came out, she would run away immediately.

"No trouble." Wu Jing had already come out, his eyes passed over her lightly, his tone was light and distant, "I'm going back to the city too, just drop in."

Haichen, as a landlord, accompanied them to the parking lot, and even helped to open the passenger's door. Xu Wan had no choice but to sit in reluctantly.At the end, Haichen also reminded, "Wu Jing, where are you going, Xiao Wan, let Wu Jing take you there directly." Then she said to the person in the driver's seat, "Wu Jing, I will leave Xiao Wan to you. oh."

"Don't worry." Wu Jing slightly raised his eyebrows.

The car drove out of the villa all the way, Haichen's figure disappeared in the rearview mirror, and soon, the villa also disappeared from sight.Xu Wan looked forward, thinking of the scene of Duoyan, seeing that half of his face was still slightly red just now, she was still a little embarrassed after all.

"Where are you going?" Wu Jing suddenly asked.

Xu Wan didn't want him to see her off, "You can put me down in front, and I'll just take a taxi." After that slap, I believe he didn't want to see her either.

"Address!" he insisted on asking.

Xu Wan frowned slightly, "I can..."

"I promised Haichen to take you to your destination, you want me to break my word?" He interrupted her, and gave her a displeased sideways glance.

After a while, he said, "If you don't say anything, I will have to take you home."

The apartment she lives in is about 10-[-] minutes' drive from the restaurant she met with Ouyang. If he takes her back and she takes a taxi there, even if she can get the taxi smoothly and there is no traffic jam on the road, she will be half an hour late. That's all, he Send it off if you want, "Xianghai North Road, humble house."

Wu Jing's car drove directly into the parking lot of the humble house. He moved the steering wheel, and the car parked quickly and steadily. Xu Wan said, "Just park on the side of the road. You don't need to drive in."

Wu Jing turned off the car, "It's not on purpose," he looked at her with light eyes, "I just happened to have an appointment for dinner here."

Xu Wan was slightly taken aback: It couldn't be such a coincidence!
Wu Jing had already opened the car door, and she quickly got out of the car, "Today..." She didn't know what to say, but finally said, "Thank you for seeing me off."

"It's just on the way." When he spoke, he was already walking towards the restaurant.

Although Xu Wan was following him, she was still a long way behind. After he walked into the restaurant, she walked in slowly.

After entering, she didn't see Wu Jing's figure, but saw Ouyang Yan sitting on the booth in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and waving to her. She smiled and walked over, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"I just arrived too." Ouyang Yan looked at her with a smile. It had been more than half a year since she had seen her. She was still the same as she remembered, bright and charming.

"Qingge has business tonight, so I can't come." Xu Wan sat down opposite him.

"She called me." Ouyang Yan said.

At this moment, Ouyang Yan looked behind Xu Wan, "Lawyer Wu, what a coincidence, you also come here for dinner?"

Wu Jing walked over unhurriedly, "It's a coincidence." After finishing speaking, his eyes glanced at Xu Wan.

"Xiao Wan, this is lawyer Wu." Ouyang Yan introduced, "This is Xu Wan, my friend."

Wu Jing pursed his lips, looked at her, and said in a gentle voice, "We know each other."

Ouyang Yan shook her head and laughed dumbly, "Look at me, I've been too busy recently, my mind is a bit confused, I forgot that when Qingge got married, you were bridesmaids and best men, how could you not know each other?"

"I know each other, but not very well," Xu Wan finally said, looking at him, "Lawyer Wu, hello." Her tone was as if they had never met today, more like they were not familiar with each other. look.

Wu Jing looked at her with clear eyes.

"Wu Jing!" The girl's bright voice came, and they all looked over, only to see a pretty girl walking towards them, she was smiling, with a pair of sweet dimples on her face, very beautiful, when she approached, She looked at Xu Wan and Ouyang Yan, and asked Wu Jing, "Are you friends?"

Wu Jing nodded slightly.

Zhong Jia is extroverted, warm and generous, she looked at them with a smile, "Hi, I'm Zhong Jia."

"I'm Ouyang Yan," Ouyang said.

Xu Wan looked at her standing next to Wu Jing, she was handsome and pretty, she was such a talented couple, she said politely, "I am Xu Wan."

Zhong Jia smiled deeply, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Xu Wan nodded and smiled back.

Zhong Jia looked sideways at Wu Jing, his big eyes looking bright, "Where's the seat you reserved?"

Wu Jing didn't answer, but looked at Ouyang and said, "Ouyang, it's rare to meet, why don't we go together, there are so many people."

When Xu Wan just opened his mouth to refuse, Ouyang Yan responded happily, "Okay, I happen to have a few legal questions that I want to ask Lawyer Wu."

Wu Jing looked at Xu Wan again, and seemed to ask, "Miss Xu, is it okay?"

His gaze was as gentle as jade, but it actually made Xu Wan's scalp tingle, three pairs of eyes looked at her with questioning, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Of course."

Xu Wan got up, sat next to Ouyang, and gave the other side of the booth to Wu Jing and Zhong Jia.

When ordering, Wu Jing thoughtfully asked Zhong Jia what she meant, and then handed the menu to Ouyang. Ouyang has known Xu Wan for many years, so he naturally knew her preferences, so he ordered for her.

Ouyang asked Wu Jing questions, and Wu Jing answered them one by one patiently. Zhong Jia, who was next to him, looked at him with his chin resting on his shoulders. His eyes were clearly full of undisguised admiration.

When Ouyang said that he was busy preparing for the fashion design competition recently, Zhong Jia asked with interest, "When will the competition start?"

"Is Miss Zhong also interested in fashion design?" Ouyang asked.He was originally in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and was recently seconded to a certain company. When this secondment is over, he will be promoted when he returns.

"She is studying fashion design." Wu Jing looked at Zhong Jia with soft eyes, "You can try it."

"Of course I have to try," Zhong Jia said, "Ouyang, what are the requirements for this competition?"

"The details are still being discussed." Regarding the work, Ouyang is naturally measured and cautious. Before the matter is fully announced, there are some things that cannot be said. "It is estimated that an official announcement will be made by the beginning of next month."

They chatted vigorously, and Xu Wan couldn't get a word into their topic, just like an outsider.

At first, she felt that Wu Jing proposed to be at the same table with them as a way to scare her off, but after listening to her, she came to her senses. He asked her about Hanfu at noon, probably for Zhong Jia's sake. With such care, Zhong Jia should have a different meaning in his heart.Judging from the present, their behavior is not very close, and maybe they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, but it is obvious that they are developing in that direction.

Zhong Jia found that they had neglected Xu Wan, and they happened to talk about their respective majors, so she looked at her kindly and asked, "Miss Xu, what major did you study in college?"

Xu Wan looked away from the window, facing this question... "I haven't finished high school," she felt an unbearable sense of inferiority in her heart, but on the surface, she was very generous, "I haven't learned anything."

Zhong Jia was obviously a little surprised, "Sorry... I don't know..." As she spoke, she looked at Wu Jing in embarrassment, clearly asking for help.

Wu Jing comforted her, "It's nothing, Xu Wan won't mind."

Xu Wan didn't even raise her eyelids, hehe, he is really considerate and understanding! "Miss Zhong, this is the truth, you have nothing to be sorry about." She said lightly, her lips were clearly hooked, but there was no smile at the bottom of her slightly drooping eyes.

Zhong Jia pursed her lips and smiled. In order to ease the temporary indifference, she asked again, "Miss Xu, what do you do?"

Before Xu Wan opened her mouth, she just heard Ouyang say, "She's an actress."

Zhong Jia was a little surprised, perhaps to make up for her slip of the tongue just now, she praised, "No wonder you have such a good temperament, so you are an actor." She also said, "I just returned to China not long ago, and I don't know much about domestic film and television. Ms. Xu, you What show? TV or movie? Tell me, I'll go and see."

"I'm just an outsider. I don't even have a name on TV, so I'm not an actor." Xu Wan said softly, but somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Zhong Jia thought that she was choking on herself because she was angry, and for a while, she became speechless again.

"I'm so focused on chatting, the dishes are getting cold, and the wine hasn't been served yet," Ouyang interrupted the embarrassing scene. He called the waiter, opened the red wine, and poured wine for them. It was Xu Wan's turn. Yes, he looked at her and asked softly, "Do you want a drink?"

Xu Wan nodded slightly.

Ouyang poured wine for her, but not much.

"So little?" Xu Wan joked, "Ouyang, you can't afford to treat guests so cheaply!"

Ouyang put down the wine bottle, looked at her and said, "You have a bad stomach, drink less wine, just taste it."

"Ouyang is so considerate!" Zhong Jia looked at them and said enviously, "Miss Xu, you are so lucky."

Well!Misunderstood!However, Ouyang smiled, not intending to speak out, and Xu Wan did not refute.

After taking a sip and sip, Ouyang changed the topic in a timely manner. Although the atmosphere was not so awkward, it was still a little cold. After the dinner, they walked out of the restaurant, and Ouyang said, "Xiao Wan, I'll take you home."

"You just drank, can you drive?" Xu Wan reminded lightly.

Ouyang smiled, "Yeah, I forgot," he saw the commercial plaza opposite, "It's still early, let's go to a movie." Thinking about it, after watching the movie, the wine is almost gone, so I'll send it off at that time she goes home.

"Okay." Xu Wan said, just to get rid of the embarrassment of the foursome.

When Ouyang was about to say goodbye to Wu Jing and the others, he only heard Wu Jing say, "Want to watch a movie?" Obviously, he was speaking to Zhong Jia.

Zhong Jia was a little surprised, but obviously very pleasantly surprised, she readily agreed.

We all want to watch movies, so naturally we got together again.

But after Wu Jing queued up to buy movie tickets, seeing Zhong Jia was the only one in the waiting booth, he asked, "Where are they?"

Zhong Jia said, "Let's go." She said, "Miss Xu said she was a little uncomfortable, so Ouyang went out with her." She added with a deep smile, "Probably because they want to live a two-person world."

Wu Jing looked out of the window. The commercial square was just lit up, and the crowds were surging, but they were still there.

There was still half an hour before the show started, and the two of them sat there waiting.Seeing that Wu Jing was silent and the scene was a bit cold, Zhong Jia wanted to find something to chat with, "Wu Jing, are you familiar with Ms. Xu and the others?"

"It's okay." Wu Jing was a little absent-minded.

"Miss Xu is so beautiful and has a good figure. I think they have a good understanding. It seems that they have been together for a long time." Zhong Jia said again.

"Perhaps!" Wu Jing's eyes darkened.

"Wu Jing, I..."

Wu Jing interrupted her suddenly, "Sorry, I suddenly realized that I still have work to do, so I can't watch movies with you."

Zhong Jia was surprised and was stunned for a moment.

After that, Wu Jing drove Zhong Jia home.We were silent all the way, seeing his face was a little cold, Zhong Jia looked out of the car window, feeling a little depressed, when she got downstairs to her house, she suddenly asked, "Wu Jing, you are not happy, did I say something wrong again?" ?” During dinner tonight, she made frequent mistakes in her words, and now that she thinks about it, she really feels a little ashamed.But she didn't know Xu Wan before, so even if she said something wrong, it was an unintentional mistake.

"I'm not unhappy, I really have something to do." He said, "I have a very difficult case in my hand, and I just suddenly thought of a solution, so I want to go back and review it immediately."

Zhong Jia blinked, and summoned up the courage to ask, "What do you think...how about me?"

"You are fine." Wu Jing said.

Zhong Jia's mood instantly improved, she pursed her lips and smiled, her dimples were sweet, and she said understandingly, "Then go and get busy, watch the movie another day, just remember, don't work too late."

Wu Jing nodded lightly.

*
"Lawyer Wu went to buy a ticket, so we just slipped away, isn't it good?" Ouyang asked after walking out of the movie city.

Xu Wan said lightly, "Don't you see that Miss Zhong and Lawyer Wu want to be alone together?" She said, "Let's join in the fun."

Ouyang was slightly stunned, "Really?" He really didn't see it and didn't say anything, but they were the ones who suggested watching the movie, and Wu Jing and the others just agreed. "Then where are we going now?"

Xu Wan thought about it, but there was really nothing she wanted to play, so she said, "Whatever."

At this point in time, the commercial plaza gradually became more crowded, and a few people suddenly rushed over from the opposite side. Ouyang was very vigilant, and stretched out his hand to pull Xu Wan towards him. She was unprepared, and leaned into his arms all at once.

The few people passed by them, and soon, they fought with other people.All of a sudden, the square was in chaos.Ouyang put his arms around her shoulders and brought her out quickly.

After walking out, Xu Wan was still in shock, and looked back at the commotion.

"Scared?" Ouyang asked her.

Xu Wan shook her head, "No way." To be honest, although she had seen several life and death scenes in the film and television city, those few people walking towards her angrily just now really scared her.

"You still said no, your face is pale." Ouyang joked and helped her brush the hair off her forehead.

What about his kiss made Xu Wan slightly startled, and stared at him blankly.

"Xiaowan..." Ouyang's tone was gentle.

"Ayan!"

A somewhat harsh call broke the moment of tenderness.The person Xu Wan knew was Ouyang Yan's mother, Yan Yu. She was standing a few meters away, looking at them with scrutiny.

Xu Wan quietly moved away from Ouyang without showing any trace, and called out a little cautiously, "Aunt Yan."

Yan Yu sized her up, frowned slightly, "It's you..." Then she looked at Ouyang Yan, "What's the matter with you, why didn't you answer the phone?"

Ouyang took out his mobile phone, there were indeed a few missed calls, he said, "It was accidentally turned off to silent."

"When did you become so sloppy?" Yan Yu said displeased, "Don't you know that you will make me very worried if you don't answer the phone?" Do you know how much it will affect you if I find you urgently and cannot be contacted?"

"Mom!" Thinking of Xu Wan being by her side, and her mother's direct lack of face, Ouyang Yan's face became tense, "What do you want from me?"

Yan Yu suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and said a little irritably, "Now you accompany me to the supermarket to buy something."

Xu Wan said in a timely manner, "I also want to go home and rest, Ouyang, you can go with Auntie."

Ouyang Yan frowned slightly.

But Xu Wan didn't wait for him to speak, and said politely, "Aunt Yan, I'm leaving first, Ouyang, goodbye." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left. When Ouyang was about to call her, she was suddenly caught by Yan Yu. Pull the arm and drag away.

"Mom—" Ouyang was displeased, and when he broke free, he saw Xu Wan's figure had disappeared into the twilight.

Yan Yu said bluntly, "Ayan, didn't I tell you to stay away from her? Why..."

"Am I not even free to make friends?" Ouyang Yan said coldly.

"I'm doing it for your own good," Yan Yu said solemnly, "You will be promoted at the end of the year, so don't make any trouble during this period..."

"I'm just meeting my friends for dinner, what can happen?" Ouyang said displeased.

"Friend? Someone like her deserves to be your friend?" Yan Yu said angrily.

"mom!"

"Stop it!" Yan Yu interrupted him! "Let's go!"
