Ji Lanzhou’s hair was still wet. It was obvious that he had just showered.
“Mr. Ji?”
“Director Xie?”
Xie Wenkai and Ji Lanzhou spoke at the same time. Their gazes were very strange. Ji Lanzhou had just showered a few minutes ago. He was sitting on the sofa waiting for Jiang Tong to come back when he suddenly heard movement at the door. It sounded like the person on the other side of the door was using a key to open the door, but it didn’t sound right. Thus, Ji Lanzhou walked over and opened the door. Then, he saw a bodyguard in a black suit holding a wire. Ji Lanzhou immediately realized that the bodyguard was trying to pick the lock. Before Ji Lanzhou could ascertain whether he was a thief, he saw Xie Wenkai standing next to the bodyguard.
Xie Wenkai was wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked very refined and handsome. However, he was holding plastic bags full of groceries in his hands. Several bags were big and small, and one could see the vegetables and meat inside. There was also a green onion sticking out of the plastic bag. This didn’t quite match Xie Wenkai’s image.
When they greeted each other in doubt, Xie Wenkai and Ji Lanzhou looked at each other for more than ten seconds. Neither of them said anything.
“Mr. Ji, why are you at Jiang Tong’s house?” In the end, it was Xie Wenkai who spoke first. His cold voice was filled with doubt and hesitation. He asked, “Is Jiang Tong… home?” He thought of Zhou Jingyun telling him that Jiang Tong was busy. Could it be that she was at home with another man…
“No, she’s not at home. She asked me to wait for her inside, so I used the spare key to open the door first.” Ji Lanzhou also had a strange look in his eyes. He looked at Xie Wenkai with some hesitation. Ji Lanzhou asked, “Then… what about you, Director Xie?” After saying that, he even glanced at the bodyguards next to Xie Wenkai. Ji Lanzhou didn’t know how to ask Xie Wenkai! There were too many questions! Why did Xie Wenkai come here? How does Xie Wenkai know Jiang Tong? What did Xie Wenkai mean by bringing food over? Why was Xie Wenkai’s bodyguard picking the lock?
“I…” Xie Wenkai didn’t know how to explain it. He still didn’t know what was going on with Ji Lanzhou. After a pause, he could only say, “I’m friends with Jiang Tong.” After saying that, he raised his hand and gestured to the bodyguards. The bodyguard next to him and the bodyguard behind him turned around and went downstairs without saying a word. They returned to the car and waited. Xie Wenkai didn’t explain to Ji Lanzhou why he picked the lock. He was a little embarrassed because picking the lock wasn’t something a cultured person would do. Anything between him and Jiang Tong was easy to talk about, but with Ji Lanzhou… he didn’t even know what was going on with Ji Lanzhou! What was he doing here? It was too strange!
After the bodyguards went downstairs, Xie Wenkai carried the things into the house. Ji Lanzhou was originally blocking the door. If it was anyone else, he definitely would not let them enter the house like this. However, Xie Wenkai was too special, so Ji Lanzhou did not subconsciously guard against Xie Wenkai. Even if this was Jiang Tong’s house, he would not suspect that Xie Wenkai was here to steal things. The future heir of the Six Blessings Corporation did not need to steal things. Moreover, Xie Wenkai said that he was friends with Jiang Tong.
Although Ji Lanzhou felt that something was wrong, he also believed that Jiang Tong and Xie Wenkai must know each other. When Xie Wenkai wanted to enter, Ji Lanzhou made way for him. After entering, Xie Wenkai first put the bags in his hand on the cabinet at the door and then changed his shoes at the door.
Ji Lanzhou closed the door and looked at Xie Wenkai with an even stranger gaze. He could feel that Xie Wenkai was very familiar with everything here, and his movements were very natural. Xie Wenkai, who had changed into his house slippers, carried the vegetables and walked inside. He asked Ji Lanzhou, “Mr. Ji, when did you come?”
“Not long ago, a little over half an hour,” replied Ji Lanzhou.
“Are you friends with Jiang Tong?” Xie Wenkai asked again. Ji Lanzhou bathed and even wore Jiang Tong’s clothes at her house. He asked if they were friends, but of course, he didn’t mean just friends.
“Ah, yes, we are friends,” Ji Lanzhou nodded. Both of them didn’t know what was going on with each other. They also knew each other’s family backgrounds. Therefore, both of them were wary of each other’s relationship with Jiang Tong. It was hard to say. Although both of them knew that there was something wrong with each other, Ji Lanzhou was even more suspicious! Because this was Xie Wenkai!
Xie Wenkai carried the bags and walked directly to the kitchen. When he passed by the sofa, he noticed that Ji Lanzhou’s clothes, including his underwear, were on it! He glanced at it and didn’t say anything. He walked straight to the kitchen from the side.
Ji Lanzhou walked back to the sofa. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why did Xie Wenkai come to Jiang Tong’s house as if he was coming home? He was a little confused.
