Chapter 144 Let Me Look at You

Chen Qing made no mistakes during the rehearsal, his emotions were full and the climax was controlled just right.

The music director praised her highly at the end of the show. This teacher is quite magnanimous. When she scolds her, it makes people want to bang their heads against the wall, but when she praises her, it is also sincere.

At night, Yuan Hui went into her room to chat.

After returning to the ancient town, Chen Qing repeatedly pondered Mrs. Jiang's words.

Before this, she always believed that Yan Baiqing's biological father was most likely Jiang Zhongyi, otherwise why would Yan Weilan hate the Jiang family.

But from what Mrs. Jiang said, it didn't seem like that.

Yuan Hui hung upside down beside the bed and looked at her, "You have someone in your heart."

Chen Qing was startled, "Who?"

"Who are you asking me? Mr. Yan, the one who seems to be distracted all day long?"

She shook her head firmly, "No."

"The story of Wei Yin and Mr. Jiang has spread throughout the group. I didn't expect her to be so resolute. After losing Mr. Yan, she turned around and hooked up with his junior brother. She's always targeting people at the top of the pyramid."

"How did you know?" Chen Qing wondered. She remembered Lian Zhuo saying that no media dared to report on this matter, and all the information circulating on the Internet had been removed.

Yuan Hui jumped to her feet. "You knew this already? Could it be true? Wei Yin is going to marry into the Jiang family?"

Chen Qing felt a bitter taste in his mouth as he folded the laundry. "I don't know."

"My boyfriend and the others mentioned it a bit, but I didn't dare discuss it further. But how it spread within the band is easy to imagine."

That’s right, Wei Yin had finally gotten this opportunity, so how could he not take advantage of it?

Even if Jiang Jingyan later denied it in public, she had gained enough from the "convenience" she enjoyed during this period.

At half past ten, Chen Qing had just taken a shower and there was a missed call on his phone.

She ruffled her hair and turned back.

The other party hung up, and a video call came in the next second.

"What's wrong?"

The screen was shrouded in smoke and fog, and the background seemed to be an office in Washington.

The man's voice was extremely hoarse. "Let me look at you."

Chen Qing turned his nose towards the camera and asked, "Did you see that?"

"You're itching." Jiang Jingyan laughed, "Look at your whole body."

She set up her phone and wrapped a towel around her head. "Does it look good?"

"Like a nun."

"Then you are a monk." Chen Qing added, "an old monk."

"Have you ever seen a monk who looks like me?" he said in a dissolute tone.

"I've seen it. There are monks posting selfie videos online. They're half naked, with really big muscles, and they can punch and do somersaults."

Jiang Jingyan's brows darkened. He didn't often go online and only read the news, so he thought it was some dirty website.

"Don't look at that, or I'll send you to the mountains to train for a while."

Chen Qing was rebellious in high school. She didn't cause trouble or get into trouble. She was simply not interested in talking to people and was quiet. Her grades plummeted. Mr. and Mrs. Luo took turns talking to her and only managed to pry out two words from her: It's okay.

Later, Lian Zhuo received a call from the school. The head teacher said that she had a fight with a classmate and both sides were bleeding. When asked why, she refused to say anything. This made Jiang Jingyan very angry. He went back to send her to the mountains at night and used the same training method to make her admit her mistake.

It was also at that time that he discovered that although the girl appeared timid and soft-tempered, she was actually very stubborn, just like a new recruit. Although he deliberately relaxed the training intensity, ordinary high school students could not bear it. In the end, he could not wear her down, but he was reluctant to take real action until he took the wrong phone and she ran to grab it with sweat on her forehead.

He suddenly realized and asked if they were in love. She didn't deny it. He then asked if the fight was related to this. She nodded.

Jiang Jingyan was busy at that time, had a bad temper, and looked very sullen. He got angry and warned her to correct her thoughts. He went down the mountain and unlocked the car while she was asleep, and checked her cell phone.

It's quite shameless. I did the most wrong thing in education, but I gained a lot. There's nothing special in the chat history, but the photo album is full of his photos.

After sending her to Luo's house, Jiang Jingyan did not mention the matter. He said that the school called the parents because Chen Qing was reading romance novels in class, and Mrs. Luo immediately confiscated all her electronic products.

Finally, he promised that if her monthly exam results satisfied him, he would take her to another province to celebrate her birthday.

The effect is significant.

The crying and fussy little person in my memory transformed into a graceful figure on the screen. Chen Qing gathered her hair to one side, her white neck taut with a pretty taut figure.

"Have you been smoking too much lately?"

Jiang Jingyan came back to his senses and extinguished his cigarette butt, "I'm not smoking anymore."

Chen Qing rubbed the ends of her hair with a towel and said, "The performance will begin soon."

"I'll go."

She said nothing.

"If you want to ask, just ask directly." The man pointed out, "When did you start beating around the bush?"

Chen Qing was so embarrassed that his collarbone turned red, and he stiffened his neck. "I don't want you to come. If you come, you can only give flowers to Miss Wei, and I can't stand it."

"Why, I'll give it to you."

"Everyone here knows about your affair." She was furious and threw the towel. "First, the rumor spread that Wei Yin's backer was Mr. Yan, then I became the heroine, and now it's spread that she's with you, and you're sending me flowers again. What have I become in the eyes of outsiders? It's like I'm going to snatch whoever Wei Yin's man is!"

Jiang Jingyan looked at her with a smile, her fur standing up like a little lion, tapping on the screen with his fingers, "When did Yan Baiqing's heroine become you?"

His question interrupted Chen Qing from saying anything else.

"Why haven't I heard about your man?"

The man there completely drooped, lowering his head and muttering, "They're talking nonsense."

Chen Qing knew very well that Wei Yin was taking the big moves slowly and carefully, and making small moves to squeeze in. If she failed in both in the future, and left behind a bunch of disgusting rumors, everyone in the school would spit at her, forcing her to not be able to raise her head.

…

Yan Baiqing arrived outside Meng Hongwen's manor at eleven o'clock.

He was so absent-minded that he didn't even notice the secretary opening the car door.

"Mr. Yan?" It was the servant of Meng Hongwen's family. Mr. Meng knew that he had arrived, but he was nowhere to be seen, so he sent someone to invite him.

It was drizzling on the mountain at night. Yan Baiqing didn't hold an umbrella, and the water droplets slowly soaked his shirt, making him damp all over.

The servant led him to the study and whispered, "Mr. Meng is not in a good mood. He has been receiving calls all day and didn't eat in the evening. He fell down."

The man hummed softly.

A reading light was on in the study, and the light was as dim as the smile on Meng Hongwen's face.

"Mr. Yan is very generous now. He can give us a channel anytime he wants."

Yan Baiqing stood straight, his short hair dripping with raindrops. "I had no choice."

Meng Hongwen suddenly walked up to him, panting heavily, "What are you forced to do? Tell me."

“It’s about human lives.”

"Chen Qing's life."

He said nothing, but his cheekbones trembled.

"Huang Hao just wants a bargaining chip. Chen Qing can't die in his hands."

"She won't die. What if I torture her?" Yan Baiqing's chest rose and fell violently, and he tried his best to suppress it. "Is there any girl who entered the Huang family and came out with a clean record?"

Meng Hongwen took a half step back and looked at him, his face full of disbelief. "He wants to kidnap and kill, and there are the police and Jing Yan. Why are you intervening?"

"Huang Hao's target is me. He's quick to act and can't wait for me. Chen Qing might—"

Suddenly there was a crisp sound.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. In the center of the water marks on the window, half of the man's face was reflected, which was instantly red and swollen after the slap.
