12dz Chapter 325 Thank you, Manxi.
Chapter 325 Thank you, Manxi.
A quick glance revealed the bag in Ji Ran's hand; it was from that super popular cake shop.
Chi Tao swallowed hard, then leaned closer with pleading eyes, "Hehe, you actually managed to buy this cake! Can I have some?"
Seeing her gluttonous expression, Ji Ran simply shoved the bag into her hand.
"Take it, your sister-in-law bought it."
"My sister-in-law?!" Chi Tao jumped up in surprise.
Assistant Yoon does seem to have mentioned that he has a younger sister.
But... is it even possible for this to happen in Chengdu yet?
"Did Yin Li tell you?!" Chi Tao exclaimed in shock.
Although Assistant Yin is Professor Ji's father's assistant, it's unlikely that he would confess to Professor Ji himself first.
Oh no... I'm going crazy!! What did he say?! Did he mean he's determined to marry her?! Otherwise, how could Professor Ji be so certain about mentioning his sister-in-law??
Ji Ran looked completely bewildered.
Who is Yin Li?
It sounds familiar.
"Your dad's assistant." Qi Mu knew Ji Ran's nature all too well, and quietly leaned closer to whisper a reminder.
But it was so quiet here that even if she spoke softly, Chi Tao could still hear it, and then she was dumbfounded.
"Oh~" Ji Ran suddenly realized, and remembered.
That person's name is Yin Li. Why would someone choose such a name? It's completely forgettable.
"No..." Chi Tao was getting a little frantic, "You don't remember Yin Li?!"
Ji Ran blinked, not feeling embarrassed at all, and said, "Mmm~"
"Then who is this sister-in-law you're talking about?!" Chi Tao was even more exasperated.
Ji Ran blinked again, "Jiang Manxi~ Didn't you always call her that before?"
Chi Tao choked, almost speechless. Had she just self-destructed?!
Ji Ran then realized that the sister-in-law Chi Tao thought she had was no longer Jiang Manxi, especially considering that Chi Tao had just mentioned Yin Li with a shy expression.
"Oh~~" Ji Ran suddenly realized it again.
Chi Tao blushed. "Ugh!! You're so annoying!!!"
Then she covered her face, screamed, and ran away.
Ji Ran watched her run away, scratched his chin in puzzlement, and looked at Qi Mu with a questioning expression.
"What's up with her?"
Qi Mu looked at his girl, who had absolutely no emotional intelligence, and helplessly ruffled her hair.
"do not know."
He thought back to when Chi Tao had said Ranran had "chicken shit EQ," and he thought it sounded quite harsh. But now it seemed rather apt.

Jiang Manxi drove An Lian back to Zeng Yan's ward with Zeng Yichen.
An Lian remained quiet the entire way, staring blankly out the window as if she had lost her soul. Zeng Yichen could only watch her quietly, afraid that he might say something wrong and upset her.
It wasn't until I returned to the ward that I saw Zeng Yan lying there quietly.
His hair had grown a bit longer.
Thanks to An Lian's meticulous care, Zeng Yan's complexion was even better than hers.
He could only lie there, unable to move or speak, except for the occasional beep from the detector indicating that he was still alive.
"Yi Chen..."
An Lian suddenly spoke, her voice weak and feeble, her figure swaying precariously.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?!" Zeng Yichen stepped forward anxiously.
Please say 'I'm sorry' to Professor Ji for me.
After saying that, she could no longer hold on and completely fainted.
"sister in law!!"
"Sister Anlian!!"
The two men hurriedly caught her and temporarily settled her on the sofa.
"I'll go get the doctor. You watch over her for me!"
Zeng Yichen instructed.
An Lian nodded and replied anxiously, "I know, go quickly!"
After a series of examinations, the doctor gave a conclusion.
An Lian just fainted from exhaustion.
The two of them then breathed a sigh of relief.
After settling Anlian in, the two left the ward and leaned against the wall, watching the sunset outside the window radiate a vast halo of light.
Zeng Yichen looked at Jiang Manxi with some guilt.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you again."
Jiang Manxi shook her head. "It's nothing, why are you being so polite with me?"
As she spoke, she noticed Zeng Yichen's hand, which was still wrapped in gauze, and asked with concern,
"Your hand... you still need to be more careful, otherwise it won't get better."
Zeng Yichen was stunned. He hadn't realized what was happening when he helped An Lian, and only now did he feel the pain.
He smiled, seemingly relieved, yet also with a hint of helplessness.
"fine."
He seemed to have already coexisted with the pain, but his heart still felt a little warmer.
Who doesn't want someone to care about them? Even if they have decided to atone for their sins, they will still yearn for light and warmth.
"So... what are you planning to do in the future?" Jiang Manxi asked tentatively.
Zeng Yichen sighed deeply, but his expression was no longer as gloomy as it had been in the park last time.
"I don't know. Let's take care of my sister-in-law and mother first. As for the rest... let's just take it one step at a time."
"Then..." Jiang Manxi asked hesitantly, "Do you still have money?"
Zeng Yichen was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly, "Yes."
All of Zeng's assets were frozen, and his houses and cars were seized. Naturally, he could no longer hold onto his position as army commander.
Although no action was taken against him, he was too ashamed to stay in the military camp any longer.
Besides his own savings, he only has the 10 yuan that Jiang Manxi transferred to him last time.
They can hold on for a short time, but they definitely can't hold on for a long time.
Actually, he's already looking for a job, but it's difficult because of his family background...
Perhaps after a while, once people have forgotten a bit, it won't be so difficult...
Even though Jiang Manxi didn't know the specific situation of the Zeng family, she could still see Zeng Yichen's predicament.
She couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, and then suggested...
"How about... how about you come work for Jiang's company?"
At least, she can protect him.
Zeng Yichen was taken aback, then shook his head without thinking.
"Need not."
He still can't forget the look in Uncle Jiang's eyes. If he had even a shred of self-awareness, he wouldn't have been able to shamelessly cling to him.
Although people's opinion of him seems to have improved now, he also knows that it seems to be a public relations effort arranged by Young Master Jiang through reporters.
It was just that I helped him out while doing public relations for the Jiang family.
He's already gotten the better end of the deal; he can't keep sticking on like chewing gum and getting on people's bad side.
“But…” Jiang Manxi was unwilling and wanted to say a few more words of persuasion.
Zeng Yichen turned his head and gave her a smile that was as sunny and warm as before.
"Really, there's no need. If I need it, I certainly won't hesitate to ask you for it."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Manxi had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, then... if you can't take it anymore, you really have to say something."
Zeng Yichen nodded.
Then both of them fell silent.
After a while, Zeng Yichen's voice rang out again.
"Thank you, Manxi."
Jiang Manxi's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Zeng Yichen.
