Chapter 119 Bai Qing is not an outsider

Chen Qing was invited by Mrs. Chiang.

Mrs. Jiang and several other wives met up to play cards and drink tea. During the chat, they mentioned the performance in the ancient town. Mrs. Guo, who had won the divorce, wanted to invest, but couldn't find a good opportunity.

"Director Yan is a man with high aspirations. I've tried to arrange a game with him several times, but I can't get him to meet me." Mrs. Guo threw a card. "Even Young Master Yan is nowhere to be seen. I heard that he made the final decision on all the procedures this time."

Mrs. Jiang played her cards. "Jingyan never uses backdoors. If you ask him to talk to Bai Qing about this, he will have to learn a lesson. Old Jiang and I can't do anything about him."

"I know that Mr. Jiang is ruthless and impartial. If you say there is a way, whose connections will you use?"

"You'll know in a moment."

At the same time, Chen Qing just entered the elevator and turned around to see Yan Baiqing wearing a light gray suit, looking handsome and straight.

"What a coincidence." She pressed the floor button. "Are you having an appointment?"

The man hummed and looked down at her, "What about you, are you here with Jingyan?"

"No, Mrs. Jiang said she had an event in the evening and asked me to accompany her."

Yan Baiqing's eyebrows jumped, "Does Jingyan know?"

Chen Qing avoided answering. Of course, she didn't say anything. Her relationship with Mrs. Jiang was already a bit strained. If Jiang Jingyan knew about it and followed her, they would probably have another argument.

It was extremely rare for Mrs. Chiang to invite her on her own initiative, and she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness.

Yan Baiqing didn't ask any further questions. After getting out of the elevator, the waiter led Chen Qing to the box, and he followed silently.

Mrs. Chiang was in V3, some distance away from where he was going.

Chen Qing turned around and mouthed goodbye before knocking on the door.

Yan Baiqing nodded, slowed down his pace, and took the opportunity when she pushed the door open to quickly check the situation inside the house.

Through a screen, the sounds of Mrs. Chiang and several other ladies chatting and laughing could be heard. There was nothing unusual about it.

He watched Chen Qing enter the room and signaled to his secretary with his eyes.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the secretary found him at the corner of the stairs and said, "Except for Mrs. Jiang, there are only three ladies, no other guests."

Yan Baiqing stared at the folk art troupe downstairs and said, "Keep an eye on it."

"I understand. Director Yan is getting impatient, why don't you go over there?"

"I can guess why my mother asked me to come here." He turned around, leaned against the railing, and relaxed his shoulders. "The Yan family wants to maintain their status in the city. Relying solely on past reputation is far from enough. She hopes that I can arrange a marriage."

The secretary paused, "You don't consider it?"

Yan Baiqing said nothing.

"Most of the young men your age have already started families. It's not surprising that Director Yan is planning this."

He continued to remain silent, playing with his phone, his mind wandering.

…

Not long after Chen Qing entered the box, Mrs. Jiang introduced her to Mrs. Guo and mentioned things about the ancient town.

She didn't want to offend Mrs. Jiang, so she just pretended to be stupid and poured tea for them and chatted with them.

"When does Miss Chen go to the theater to open?" Mrs. Guo took the initiative to start a conversation. "Wait until you make your debut so that we can go and have some fun."

The bank president's wife lost again and sighed, "I haven't wanted to go to the theater in the past two years."

"What? Your brother is too young to handle it?"

She laughed, "Nonsense, I'm doing this for art."

"You do it for art, and some people devote themselves to art."

Chen Qing took the wet wipes for Mrs. Jiang and did not respond.

Mrs. Guo took a sip of tea and looked her over. "Ms. Chen, please leave me your contact information. I'll go to the next rehearsal for the ancient town performance and support you."

Chen Qing was in a difficult situation. She could tell Mrs. Guo's intention was to get information from her about Yan Baiqing's trip to the ancient town, but this matter was indescribably strange.

If Mrs. Jiang wanted to act as a matchmaker, it would be much more convenient for her to go directly to Yan Baiqing rather than go through her.

If Mrs. Guo met Yan Baiqing through her, others would have wild guesses. Besides, she was very sensitive about using connections in private.

The reason why Chen's father was imprisoned was that his partner made a mistake and met with several leaders in private, which led to the incident being exposed and he was implicated.

Therefore, no matter whether she was with Jiang Jingyan or in the Luo family, no one had ever pried open her mouth.

But now, it is Mrs. Jiang's intention.

Chen Qing smiled, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, "The rehearsal was too chaotic, and the performance hall environment is still a little imperfect. Why don't we wait until the official performance? I'll give you the tickets that the school has allocated to students' families."

"Oh, Miss Chen's family ticket must go to Mr. Jiang anyway. I don't dare to take it."

Mrs. Jiang put down her teacup and said in a calm tone, "Who were you talking to at the door just now?"

Chen Qing was stunned. "Waiter."

"The bodyguard said he saw you leaving the elevator with a man."

She was a little flustered, "Guests in other boxes."

Mrs. Jiang looked inquiringly, "It's Bai Qing, right?"

Mrs. Guo was surprised. "Master Yan is here? Isn't this a coincidence? How about this? I'll host dinner tonight, and Miss Chen will come too?"

Chen Qing was feeling uneasy and wanted to refuse, but he had no suitable reason.

Mrs. Jiang didn't press her any further and turned around, "No need to wait until night, go ask Master Yan to come over."

The bodyguard obeyed the order.

Chen Qing suddenly stood up and said, "Mrs. Jiang, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you any longer."

"You're leaving right after arriving?"

"As for school matters, if you delay any longer, you can't go back."

"It's okay, I'll send a car to take you there later."

She clenched her fists and said, "Mrs. Guo wants to discuss some serious matters with Mr. Yan. It's not convenient for me to be here."

"Please sit down." Mrs. Jiang said with a half-smile, "Bai Qing is not a stranger, you don't need to avoid him."

Chen Qing had no choice but to sit back down.

The bodyguard returned to the box five minutes later. "Mr. Yan and Mr. Yan are meeting a guest. They said they will come over in a while."

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Jiang swung her elbow and the teacup fell on her.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Guo exclaimed, "Are you burned?"

Chen Qing was in a panic. It was not hot, but the place where it spilled was not very elegant, and a large area on his chest was wet.

Mrs. Jiang frowned, "Go clean it up."

She just had a chance to leave and hurried to the bathroom.

The tea was a thick, dark brown color, and it stained the light blue shirt.

Chen Qing took a tissue to absorb the water, thinking that he would use this as an excuse to say goodbye to Mrs. Jiang later.

Soon, someone was walking outside the bathroom door.

She thought it was another guest and turned her back.

"Qing'er." The man's voice was neither too loud nor too low. "Are you in there?"

There is a corridor at the entrance to the restroom of Xianxuan Teahouse. It is not deep and there is a screen blocking the door.

"Mr. Yan, the men's restroom is at the other end."

Yan Baiqing's tone was somewhat helpless and amused, "I know."

Chen Qing was stunned. "You're looking for me?"

"My secretary said she saw you running out, and I was worried something might have happened to you."

She moved her hands faster, "It's okay, go back!"

There was no movement outside. Chen Qing tidied himself up, covered his chest, and prepared to say goodbye to Mrs. Jiang.

As soon as I went out, Yan Baiqing was still there.
