Chapter 248 Your Good Days Are Over

After Jiang Jingyan came down the mountain, he stopped at the foot of the mountain and waited for three hours before finally getting Yan Baiqing's car.

He knew exactly what Chen Qing was going to do and what effect she wanted to achieve. He left for a short while just to avoid making things difficult for her.

The Bentley slid in front of him, he walked to the back seat and kicked the door shut.

Yan Baiqing's figure swayed slightly, and he turned to comfort Chen Qing, "I'll go down and take a look."

Chen Qing looked worried, but his eyes were not on him.

He raised his hand, and just as he was about to touch her face, the car shook again.

"Get off the car." The wind at the foot of the mountain was so strong that it made Jiang Jingyan's aura violent.

Yan Baiqing slowly withdrew his hand, pushed the door and got out of the car.

The two men walked a few steps away. Jiang Jingyan put out his cigarette and said sarcastically, "Do you feel comfortable sitting in the chairman's position? You have a knife at your neck, and you still have the mood to wait for the social event to end."

"Thank you for coming today."

"I don't care if you and Meng Hongwen want to fight or argue." He simply made his point clear, grabbed Yan Baiqing by the collar, and dragged him closer with brute force, "Don't kill everyone around you."

"Who are you referring to? Your ex-girlfriend?"

Jiang Jingyan's pupils were bottomless, burning with flames. "The disputes between the three of you should be handled behind closed doors. Since you can't protect Chen Qing, don't use her too much."

Yan Baiqing looked at him without arguing or refuting.

"I know what you're up to." Jiang Jingyan narrowed his eyes, tightening his grip so tightly that it left a red mark on his neck. "Who are you to plot against Meng Hongwen?"

Yan Baiqing tried to pry open his fingers, but to no avail.

"Jingyan, you misunderstood."

The temperature in the mountains was low, and the confrontation between the two people burst out with scorching heat, and every breath was like fire.

"Still pretending, are you still going strong?" Jiang Jingyan relaxed, pushed, and approached, "Yan Baiqing, as long as your mother is alive, she will definitely fight for another chance for Meng Hongwen to survive. Meng Hongwen has a weak spot on you. In this round, your chances of winning are slim."

He didn't hold back that punch, and Yan Baiqing felt a dull pain in his chest. Then he chuckled, "Jingyan, since we fought, although you always took advantage of the situation and used my tactics, I didn't lose anything either. Since you said it was a matter concerning our family of three, I naturally understand what choice Mr. Meng would make at the critical moment, not to mention-"

He didn't continue speaking, his eyes glanced at the car window beside him as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Jingyan raised his eyelids, his temple veins bulging. "Don't be so conceited. What do you have in my hands? Can you guess? Huangjia International, Zhounan Bank, Yan Group, you can't escape any of them. Are you threatening me with Chen Qing's safety? Yan Baiqing, I'll let you be the chairman for a few days, but your good days are over."

"From what I've heard, it seems you're going to disregard the old teacher-student relationship." Yan Baiqing raised his head slightly, his tone arrogant. "Once a teacher, always a father. Meng Hongwen's achievements in his position have overshadowed your father, and even more so you. Even if you pull him down, can you bear the accusation of disloyalty? By then, will you still have a future? You've already cut off your official career. The higher-ups will take the rumors into consideration and let you sit in a quiet position at Huasheng, never to rise to the top. Qing'er is still young. She wants to perform on stage and join the Music Association in the future. That circle is all about flattery and bullying. How will you support her for the rest of her life? Could it be your mother's family?"

He casually adjusted Jiang Jingyan's collar a few times, and said with a half-smile, "I am the only heir of the Yan family, the wife of the chairman of Yan Corporation, and I am a well-known and respectable person in the city and even the province. Jingyan, you can rest assured."

After saying that, he returned to the car and rolled up the window to block the view.

Chen Qing stared back through the rearview mirror. Jiang Jingyan stood there for a long time, and then the car turned a corner and disappeared from sight completely.

…

Yan Baiqing did not go back to the Yan family directly, but ordered the driver to drive to the Municipal General Hospital.

As of today, all matters related to the succession have been completed, and the staff taking care of Yan Weilan has returned to normal.

He took Chen Qing upstairs, left her in the lounge, and went into the ward alone.

"How many things have you been hiding from me?" Yan Baiqing took a big step, his eyes flashing with ferocity. "Are you going to stop until the entire Yan family is buried with Meng Hongwen?"

The sudden questioning left Yan Weilan stunned.

She closed the Tao Te Ching in her hand and said calmly, "What's wrong with me?"

"Meng Hongwen asked you to use Yan's to help him with everything. Tell me everything."

"Aren't you capable?" She sneered. "You put me under house arrest, stole my position as chairman, and then took away my connections. You've even planted undercover agents in the group to monitor me for years. What else do you need me to say?"

Yan Baiqing's cheekbones were tense, and he was furious. Jiang Jing's words made him feel uneasy, extremely uneasy.

If Jiang Jingyan was only attacked from both sides, then he was the one who was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

"Meng Hongwen has already started looking for scapegoats. If you don't wake up, I'll be next." Yan Baiqing stared at her intently. "You only have one month left. Are you going to sacrifice all the empire you've built in your life for this one man?"

"I'm going to die, what's the point of wanting the throne? Those people in the Yan family made me suffer from contempt, ridicule, and insults behind my back because I gave birth to a child out of wedlock. After I die, they will be buried with me, which will be a relief."

"What about me?"

She fell silent.

Yan Baiqing took a deep breath, leaned forward with his hands on his knees, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, have you ever thought about my situation?"

Yan Weilan lowered her head and turned the pages of the book, as if she didn't hear his grievances and unwillingness, just like the past thirty-five years.

"From the day I was born, I have been a little toy for you to please Meng Hongwen. You would rather sacrifice me and yourself than admit that Meng Hongwen has no feelings for you and your son." Yan Baiqing straightened up, and the warmth in his eyes disappeared completely.

He straightened his clothes and said, "It's okay. The good son you and Meng Hongwen raised naturally has some of your influence."

Yan Weilan's heart sank. When he looked up again, the door of the ward opened and closed, and there was no figure anymore.
