Chapter 114 I Have Many Sisters

Chen Qing held the door handle, his throat dry, and awkwardly bowed and greeted, "Mrs. Jiang."

Mrs. Chiang pretended to launch a military campaign to hold the culprit accountable.

She bent her elbow with brute force and turned around. Jiang Jingyan's eyes were deep and bottomless, silently shocking her.

"If you want to vent your anger, come to me." He coughed twice, speaking only loud enough for the two of them to hear. "Chen Qing was in a car accident last night. I saved Wei Yin, but I couldn't save her. She suffered such an injustice. She did nothing wrong."

Mrs. Jiang was confused by the two coughs and supported him. "Just lie down and rest assured if you are injured. It's not like she has no one to take care of her."

Jiang Jingyan brushed it off and said, "Okay, you can take a rest."

He walked to the door of the ward and used his body to block Mrs. Jiang's sight.

He had not intended to let too many people know the details of the kidnapping. Firstly, Mrs. Jiang would blame the whole thing on Chen Qing. Secondly, Chen Qing was a sensitive and stubborn girl. If she knew that Wei Yin was kidnapped for her, who knows what she would think.

Jiang Jingyan held Chen Qing back to the bed and examined her body from top to bottom.

The wound on his calf was half the size of his palm. There were purple bruises around the gauze, and there were still red marks on his wrists and ankles.

A night light was on in the room, casting soft light on the man. His dark shadow stretched out and blended into the corner of the wall. Chen Qing could not see his eyes, only his taut and sharp jawline.

"Itchy." She pulled her legs back into the quilt. "Where are you hurt?"

Jiang Jingyan didn't say anything. He leaned against the headboard and hugged her through the quilt. "It's okay."

"Let me see." Chen Qing said as he tried to pull his collar.

"You are so bold and shameless." He tilted his head back and laughed, his Adam's apple trembling, and he grasped her hand and rubbed it.

Chen Qing didn't dare to put all his weight on him. He used his waist to exert force and rested his head lightly on his chest.

Jiang Jingyan turned off the lights, and the two embraced each other in silence in the darkness.

She had so much to say, but it all got stuck in her throat and turned into her hands clasped with his, shaking with so much force.

That night, Jiang Jingyan stayed in the ward without leaving.

The next morning, when Lian Zhuo knocked on the door, he was having breakfast with Chen Qing.

Madame Chiang also came along.

Chen Qing quickly stood up from the bed and greeted him.

Mrs. Jiang was more measured than last night. She waved her hand and said, "Lie down."

Jiang Jingyan didn't look at her from beginning to end. He calmly took out a tissue and wiped the water stains from the corner of Chen Qing's lips.

Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed and tried to speak gently, "Yinyin is awake. If Chen Qing is not worried, go up and take a look."

"Who said it's nothing serious? It's just a head injury. Are you blinded by your age?"

He was very blunt. Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed for a moment, so she simply changed her target and sat down beside the bed. "Qing'er, Jingyan has informed the hospital. Your attending doctor is one of our own. If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to tell us. Don't be embarrassed."

Chen Qing had just opened his mouth when Jiang Jingyan pushed the bowl of porridge aside and wiped his hands casually, "It's nothing uncomfortable. The most important thing when recovering from an injury is to have some peace and quiet."

"Then I'll ask the hospital to arrange for me to be in the VIP ward. It's quiet there."

"Whether the ward is quiet or not has nothing to do with it. Only places where outsiders are not allowed to enter are quiet."

Mrs. Jiang was choked and glared at him, "I am an idler?"

"My mother is busy, why does she go to the hospital every day?"

"I went to the hospital for you!" She gradually lost her temper. "Yinyin blocked the knife for you, and she narrowly escaped death. She finally woke up, but you didn't even look at her. If I didn't come, and word got out, others would think the Jiang family was ungrateful!"

Jiang Jingyan didn't want her to mention this matter in front of Chen Qing, and frowned irritably, "I will go when the time comes."

"The doctor said Yinyin woke up at six, but you were still here past nine. When is the right time to go?"

The man was obviously getting angry. Chen Qing grabbed his sleeve and shook his head.

Jiang Jingyan took a deep breath and parted the long hair that was wrapped around her neck. "You go first."

Mrs. Jiang was also holding back, but she couldn't lose her temper with him here.

Then he forced a smile and patted the back of Chen Qing's hand, "Have a good rest. I asked someone to make some soup and send it over at noon."

"Thank you for your trouble. It's not necessary."

"I'm not afraid of the trouble, but I'm afraid that even though I have good intentions, I won't get a single good word from you."

Jiang Jingyan pretended not to hear and took the document handed to him by Lian Zhuo and looked through it.

Mrs. Jiang stood up, straightened her skirt, and grumbled, "I really gave birth to a heartless evil boy. My son has grown up and he doesn't obey his mother."

Jiang Jingyan's ears were sharp now, and he sat down leisurely on the sofa, "You and father can try harder. I will have a younger sister, and you will have a more caring little cotton-padded jacket."

He talked nonsense and made Mrs. Chiang very angry.

After the room quieted down, Jiang Jingyan sat on the sofa, reviewing documents, motionless.

Lian Zhuo seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Chen Qing endured it and said, "Don't you want to go and take a look?"

"What are you looking at?" the man said with a hint of amusement in his tone, "I'm not a medical professional."

She choked and let him do what he wanted.

Jiang Jingyan worked in the ward all day. At nightfall, Tang Xiaoming rushed in, staring at the bed and panting, "Who am I?"

Chen Qing was puzzled and tentatively replied, "Mr. Xiao?"

Tang Xiaoming collapsed on the sofa in an instant. "It's okay, it's okay. Jingyan just said you were in a car accident and hit your head. I thought you were going to have some bloody amnesia scene."

"Didn't Master Xiao go home?"

"I didn't have time." He took a big gulp of water, "Jing Yan asked me to—"

Glancing at the latter's gaze, he changed the subject, "Stay a few more days."

Jiang Jingyan put down the documents in his hand and stood up. "I'm going to cancel the evening social event. I have something to do and I need to leave for a while."

Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat and he stared at him.

The man walked over to her bedside, rubbing his thumb across her face. "Business."

She hummed, her eyes clear and she looked well-behaved.

Jiang Jingyan's chest suddenly felt swollen for no reason. He kissed her forehead and left.

Wei Yin was transferred to the general ward in the afternoon and was able to talk to people in the evening.

She was half lying and half leaning, her face pale.

Wei Liang felt distressed and confirmed her physical condition with the doctor over and over again.

When Jiang Jingyan walked in, the doctor had just left.

"Mr. Jiang." Wei Liang bowed with a frown on his face.

"Is the situation bad?"

Wei Yin smiled lightly, "I'm fine, brother, don't worry too much."

Jiang Jingyan sat down on the sofa, watching silently from a distance of several meters.

Wei Liang poured him a cup of tea and asked worriedly, "How is the case going?"

"Zhang Zhao is hunting them all over the province." Jiang Jingyan raised his eyelids, "Don't worry, no one will escape."

"I heard that the thug who injured someone has confessed. How long will his sentence be?"

"The injury assessment report has been handed over to the police and will be handled according to the law."

Wei Liang frowned, "The main culprit hasn't been caught yet. Will he seek revenge on Yin Yin?"

"With a police protection order, the Jiang family will also send bodyguards."

Suddenly, Lian Zhuo knocked on the door. "Mr. Jiang, someone from the police station is here. They want to ask if Miss Wei can take a statement."

Wei Yin nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Jingyan raised his chin slightly, and Lian Zhuo invited the three police officers in.

The conversation was orderly, with questions and answers.

The man's face was calm. He picked up the teacup and stared at Wei Yin's harmless face through the mist of hot tea.
