Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Wen Jingheng’s Ex-Girlfriend Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Wen Jingheng’s Ex-Girlfriend Wen Jingheng nodded, “Yes, my fiancee.”

The woman seemed not to have expected him to suddenly mention a fiancee; she subconsciously widened her eyes to look at Hai Lan, a touch of disbelief and pain flashing through them.

Hai Lan felt a surge of satisfaction.

There’s definitely something going on with these two…
“Hello,” Hai Lan greeted her with a smile, her composure and elegance shining through, her stunning beauty immediately striking a nerve with the woman.

The ex-lover she once discarded was now with a woman even more beautiful than herself; how could this not provoke her?

“Hello, congratulations to you both,” the woman said dryly, dropping a comment as she strived to maintain a proper demeanor before walking away.

Watching her leave, Hai Lan looked at Wen Jingheng with a smirk not quite hiding her amusement.

“Director Wen, as a law enforcement officer, you should know the concept of leniency for those who confess, and severity for those who resist, shouldn’t you?”

Wen Jingheng couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you jealous?”

Hai Lan’s smile grew even brighter, “How could that be? Or is Director Wen trying to change the subject?”

Wen Jingheng suddenly found her jealous manner quite endearing; he confessed everything without her having to press.

The woman was He Jiaying, Wen Jingheng’s ex-girlfriend.

Both of their parents were officials, they grew up in the same compound, and could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Their families were close and they had a good relationship, so as soon as they came of age, their parents started to set them up, hoping they would end up together.

He Jiaying liked Wen Jingheng and naturally agreed. Wen Jingheng liked her at that time as well, and so they naturally became a couple.

But just when they got together, Wen Jingheng had to go away for military training.

From then on, they met rarely and communicated even less. Many men pursued He Jiaying, among them one with a good family background, good looks, and, most importantly, a special knack for winning He Jiaying’s favor.

During Wen Jingheng’s absence, He Jiaying was lonely, and that man took advantage of her vulnerability.

Moving on from Wen Jingheng, He Jiaying proposed a breakup, and he didn’t blame her, so they parted ways amicably.

If that had been the end of it, it wouldn’t have been too bad.

But not long after their breakup, He Jiaying regretted it and came back to Wen Jingheng, begging for a reconciliation. She cried, saying she had only broken up with him in a fit of anger over his lack of time for her, never expecting he would agree to it.

After the breakup, she found life difficult and missed him terribly, so she decided to try and get back together.

Despite his high IQ, Wen Jingheng’s EQ wasn’t very high!

He, with little experience in romance, simply believed He Jiaying. Since he still had feelings for her, he agreed to reconcile.

But the turnaround came quickly.

One time, he received a tip that in one of B City’s entertainment clubs, there was a gathering of people taking drugs and soliciting prostitution. Then a deputy police chief in B City, Wen Jingheng led the team on the raid and arrested everyone in the nightclub on the spot.

He also caught He Jiaying, coincidentally on a date with a man in the nightclub.

What made Wen Jingheng even angrier was that the man was the very one He Jiaying had a fling with. They were kissing in the dimly lit corridor when he caught them red-handed!

This time, He Jiaying was caught without excuse. She took the initiative to break up on the spot, even turning the tables and claiming Wen Jingheng was like a block of wood, not fun, considerate, or gentle enough, showing no understanding of a girl’s heart, which was why she cheated.

She also said she regretted getting back together with him and had only delayed breaking up again because she was too embarrassed to mention it.
