Chapter 245 Feel sorry for me?

"Jingyan." A deep voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting his steps, "You've lost your composure."

Jiang Jingyan looked Chen Qing up and down. Apart from crying, he was not injured.

He paused, turned around, and asked, "Why did you ask her to come here?"

Meng Hongwen stood at the garden corridor, a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "How long have you not come to see me? Now you come to question me? You haven't changed your temper!"

"I'm here." Jiang Jingyan sat down on the single sofa, unbuttoned his coat and tie, and threw them aside. His cufflinks brushed against the back of Chen Qing's hand. She shrank back, her nose feeling sore and swollen.

Jiang Jingyan finally came. She had planned everything, but she had never expected him to come so soon.

Chen Qingming knew that it was Meng Hongwen's people in the hotel, so he asked the Pei family bodyguards to deliberately reveal her whereabouts. Today, she fell into the trap and forced Yan Baiqing to come, not him.

She avoided the man's gaze and refused to look up.

Meng Hongwen walked to the sofa and asked, "Are you here to see me or to please someone?"

"Both." Jiang Jingyan said without hesitation, pointing the two fingers holding the cigarette in the air. "She reported my father. I have something to say to her."

"It's been so many days since the report was made. Why can't you question me anywhere else? Why do you have to come here and make trouble?"

"Ask her why not."

Chen Qing's shoulders stiffened, and he slowly raised his head, "Bai Qing doesn't want me to have any contact with Mr. Jiang."

Meng Hongwen obviously didn't believe it and snorted, "Can Bai Qing stop him?"

"You can't stop him, but you can scare me." Chen Qing was very tactful. She carefully lifted the hem of her skirt to reveal the burn. "Bai Qing was angry last night, and I tried to comfort him, but it didn't work."

Jiang Jingyan's gaze was fixed on that area, his eyes suddenly dimmed, the muscles in his neck trembled slightly and tightened, and the hostility in his body was looking for an outlet.

But when he met Chen Qing's pitiful gaze, he unexpectedly calmed down.

"I brought you some tea." His voice was hoarse and he coughed twice. "I was sick a few days ago and didn't have time to bring it to you. Let the nanny get it from the car."

Meng Hongwen pondered for a long time, then sat down and stared at Chen Qing. "Miss Chen, you are quite capable. You have managed to get these two precious students of mine."

She shook her head and said truthfully, "It's not done."

"You've already dealt with Jingyan by coming here to make a scene." Meng Hongwen laughed, "Why don't we wait and see if the other one will come."

Jiang Jingyan knocked on the armrest, "Do you have something to ask Brother?"

"Something's going on."

"Is it convenient for me to be here?"

Meng Hongwen looked at him, his tone meaningful, "They are all my students, so if there is anything inconvenient, please tell me."

"It's hard to say. I don't know everything about you and my senior brother."

The windows on three sides of the room were open, and the sweat Jiang Jingyan had sweated on the road blew away, making his chest feel cool.

He buttoned his clothes slowly, ignoring Meng Hongwen's inquiring look.

Chen Qing felt cold sweat running down his back. Jiang Jingyan's deception was too obvious. He was almost pointing at Meng Hongwen's nose and saying that he and Yan Baiqing were in collusion.

The most important thing is that when he is here, Meng Hongwen is extremely cautious and will not say some things directly.

…

Yan Baiqing stayed in Qingju Manlou until sharp four o'clock in the afternoon.

He was absent-minded during the meal, but fortunately his assistant was there to help him out, and the elders did not blame him.

At half past five, he arrived at Meng Hongwen's residence, reeking of alcohol.

The elders of the Yan family in the Greater Bay Area were on a 6 o'clock flight, and he was supposed to go and see them off, but after waiting for so long, there was no news. Entering this place was like entering a prison, and Hua Mei had no way to get any information for him.

Although Yan Baiqing used Jiang Jingyan to delay time, he was also afraid that Chen Qing would secretly make other plans. This girl was very smart and dared to use tricks under his nose.

He paused outside the door, and the servant came out half a minute late to greet him. "Oh! Have you been drinking? I asked the kitchen to make you some sobering soup."

"The teacher brought people back?"

Yan Baiqing smiled gently and elegantly. The servant glanced at him and lowered his voice, "Yes, I brought Miss Chen here, and Mr. Jiang followed. I think the atmosphere is not right. I think Mr. Meng will be angry if you didn't inform him in advance."

The servants at Meng Hongwen's residence knew the relationship between the two and always took special care of Yan Baiqing. Every time he came, Meng Hongwen would quietly reveal whether he was in a good mood or not.

"It's okay, the teacher is waiting for me."

Yan Baiqing walked around the entrance and Meng Hongwen sat alone at the tea table.

He frowned and wandered around the corridors on the first and second floors, but couldn't find Chen Qing.

"I'm here." Meng Hongwen didn't look up and cleaned the tea set. "Please sit down."

"Qing'er didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

"Little girl." He laughed and looked at Yan Baiqing, "What are you worried about?"

Yan Baiqing's mouth was dry after drinking. He didn't wait for tea. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it gulp by gulp. "She is young and naive. I'm afraid she will say something wrong and make you angry."

"What can she say to me? I won't ask her anything. You're willing to go through all the trouble of reporting Lao Jiang."

Yan Baiqing held the teacup on his fingertips. It was a complete set of Tang Yun stone ladles, which were thick and simple, with pictures of green bamboo and bamboo branches engraved on them. He had given them to Meng Hongwen for his birthday two years ago.

"Are you still hiding this from me?" He took the teapot.

The Yan family pays great attention to the tea ceremony, which has complicated procedures. Yan Baiqing was forced to learn it since he was a child, and it became a habit for him and he treats it as a daily pastime.

Meng Hongwen smoothed his hair, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed by being exposed, and remained calm, "You are very patient, unlike Jingyan."

"Jingyan is here too?" Yan Baiqing pretended to be surprised, then smiled, "That's right, he can't bear to see Qing'er suffer."

"And you?"

"I won't suffer any loss here with you, so I feel relieved."

Meng Hongwen was skeptical, his eyes dim and unclear, "I was the one who took Li Xiangli away."

"I understand that we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket."

He said nothing, and after a moment he waved to the servant, "Please bring Miss Chen back."

Yan Baiqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Meng Hongwen was suspicious, and although this was not so easy to fool, he could avoid it for the time being.

Chen Qing and Jiang Jingyan were sent away ten minutes ago. She was afraid of Meng Hongwen and refused to stay with Jiang Jingyan. She sat by the flower bed, eight feet away from him.

Mrs. Chiang made it very clear that day that Jiang Jingyan could not participate in the operation to eliminate the Meng Party. He was cultivated with great effort by his superiors.

His steadiness, composure, iron-willed tactics, and experienced work style cannot be compromised in this mission. If Jiang Zhongyi fails, the province at least still has this trump card.

Chen Qing understood this principle.

Now she is in Meng Hongwen's territory. She is the one who reported Jiang Zhongyi and cannot be too close to the Jiang family.

Jiang Jingyan put his hands in his pockets and held a cigarette in his mouth, shaking it up and down.

The metal cover of the lighter popped up, and Chen Qing looked over immediately, pursing his lips, "Are you healed?"

The man's profile was sharp and he said vaguely, "Almost."

She walked over quickly, snatched the cigarette on tiptoe, trotted back to her original seat and sat down, her eyes rolling around as she observed her surroundings.

As frightened as a little fox in the mountains.

Jiang Jingyan laughed out loud, and walked over step by step. His voice was lazy and casual, wantonly teasing the heartstrings, "Do you feel sorry for me?"
