Chapter 271 She is pregnant, so she cannot be hurt

Tang Xiaoming controlled the steering wheel with one hand and sent a message on his phone with the other hand, "Yeah."

This car is an off-road vehicle, and its speed is not affected at all on the rural dirt road. Chen Qing calmed down a little, reached out over You Meng, leaned on the car window, and placed his arm across You Meng's chest to prevent inertia from hitting him.

Pregnant women cannot wear seat belts, and she has learned a little bit from accompanying Yuan Hui every day.

"I'm fine." You Meng patted her and glanced down.

Chen Qing paused, put his suspended hand on his lower abdomen, and then released it.

As the car drove out of the village, several motorcycles suddenly surrounded it from the front and back, and the sound of their engines made my scalp numb.

"Don't be nervous." Tang Xiaoming comforted them. "It's Boss Song's men who are here to escort us."

Chen Qing leaned forward, his tone urgent, "Jiang Jingyan didn't answer my calls, and even his secretary couldn't get through to him. What happened?"

"Jingyan violated regulations, and the higher-ups are holding a meeting to criticize him, so he can't answer the phone."

"Violation? Is it related to my family's affairs?"

Tang Xiaoming didn't respond directly, but rather brought up another matter. "I guess the result is just a demotion, but Yan Baiqing has also suffered. Zhou Nan is still holding on to the Huangjia International incident. Yan's stock has plummeted recently, and several old directors from the Greater Bay Area have come. It seems they are trying to 'take control of the government from behind the scenes.'"

"Demotion?" Although Chen Qing was not very clear about the level divisions, she had heard of what Hua Sheng's position meant in the province.

There are four key enterprises in the province. The Li family's Bincheng Group is primarily focused on commercial interests, with the chairmanship inherited from the family. The leaders of Huasheng and Huafang are directly governed by superiors. Meng Hongwen held the top position at Huafang Technology for six years, a testament to his power. Jiang Jingyan was transferred to Huasheng as general manager, wielding the power of life and death from the outset. According to outside speculation, upon the chairman's retirement, Jiang Jingyan would be the logical successor.

This demotion changed the tide of change.

"Is he angry again?" Chen Qing was furious and annoyed. "He lied to me that the missing evidence was in Yaoyao's hands, but in fact he had it a long time ago, and he tricked me into staying here obediently."

As she spoke, her nose felt sore and the corners of her eyes turned red.

Tang Xiaoming glanced at the rearview mirror and laughed heartily, "Now the circle is saying that you will be the wife of the chairman of the Yan Group. Even I am worried that you will be dazzled by the glory of the Yan family. When they both got into trouble, everyone thought it was Jingyan who was angry and forced his senior brother into a desperate situation for a woman. I didn't expect that the first thing you worried about was Jingyan. It really is true that my love for you is not in vain."

She opened her mouth and didn't respond.

Seeing her embarrassed, You Meng tried to smooth things over, "What nonsense are you talking about! Yan Baiqing brought this upon himself. What does his downfall have to do with Mr. Jiang, and even less so with Qing'er. When others gossip about you, not only do you curse back, but you spread it back."

"Why didn't you curse—" Tang Xiaoming suddenly fell silent, sucking his cheeks and smacking his lips.

The journey to the airport was uneventful. He chatted with the two girls in the back row. Chen Qing was probably worried about Jiang Jingyan and remained silent.

"Qing'er." Tang Xiaoming parked the car and gestured to the leading motorcycle in front. "Sister Meng, please take care of her. I'll go in separately from the rest of you."

You Meng pushed the car door open and said nonchalantly, "Why would I need her to take care of a little girl?"

The two walked into the terminal arm in arm. Chen Qing was puzzled, "Sister Meng, are you going back with us?"

The wedding date of the Tang and Guan families is approaching. Jiang Jingyan sent You Meng out for two reasons: one is to prevent her from being sad, and the other is to prevent the Guan family from hearing rumors and quarreling with Master Xiao. After all, the baby in You Meng's belly is a descendant of the Tang family.

How could Old Master Tang not have guessed that it was Jiang Jingyan who was hiding You Meng and the child? However, since he knew the seriousness of the matter and the Tang family knew Jiang Jingyan's temper, they did not stop him.

If we go back, it will be a blatant demonstration.

You Meng knew what Chen Qing was worried about, and smiled lightly to comfort him, "It's okay, it's inconvenient for Master Xiao to take you with him, so I can go with you to avoid being watched, and..."

She paused, "Besides, I'm used to seeing him being so carefree, so I really want to see him act like a proper groom."

Chen Qing felt heavy in her heart after hearing these words. She had thought about this question countless times over the past many years.

What would it be like for Jiang Jingyan, who has always been stern and serious, to become a husband?

During the few moments that the two of them were alone together in Zhounan, Jiang Jingyan was always well-mannered and kept his word. Chen Qing respected him, feared him, and most of all, admired him.

At that time, Chen Qing often thought that a man like him might get rid of some of his hostility for the sake of his wife after marriage.

Seven years, not long, not short either. If it hadn't started with that absurd night, even with seven years of throbbing, Chen Qing could not bear to see other women standing beside him. But in the past six months, she tasted his gentleness and indulgence, the tenderness under his iron bones, which was enough for a woman to be obsessed with him.

Chen Qing originally thought that You Meng was open-minded, but it turned out that he could have such childish ideas.

After completing the formalities and entering the lounge, Tang Xiaoming was sitting by the window, pretending not to know him.

"Why are we going to Mancheng?" Chen Qing pointed at the boarding pass and frowned.

You Meng sorted her bag, looking calm, "Mr. Xiao meant to take a detour here, and after we get off the plane, someone will pick us up and drive us back."

Chen Qing nodded dazedly.

That's right, no matter who is secretly doing this, it would be easy to check her flight information. It would be better to let the other party think that she is staying somewhere else.

She leaned back on the sofa and stared at You Meng's bulging belly, "Are you tired?"

You Meng retracted her gaze from the distance and smiled, "Fortunately, she didn't bother me much." She looked up and raised her eyebrows tentatively.

Chen Qing pursed his lips, crossed his arms in front of his abdomen, and said in a very low voice, "It will make me feel sick."

"If Mr. Jiang knew, he would be heartbroken."

"Without him, I wouldn't be like this." Chen Qing often brags and grumbles fiercely behind Jiang Jingyan's back, "You bastard."

In fact, she could probably see through Jiang Jingyan's "intentional" behavior now.

At the beginning, Mrs. Jiang was looking for trouble. The time when she was taken to the Jiang residence by the bodyguard for testing was a reminder to Jiang Jingyan that with the grandson of the Jiang family, the probability of Chen Qing being recognized would be higher.

'A mother's status depends on her son' may sound ironic, but it is the unspoken rule in these families.

However, he did not expect that Mrs. Jiang and Yan Weilan had such a past, so he particularly hated the act of trying to gain status through pregnancy.

Of course, this is Chen Qing's guess. As for whether Jiang Jingyan later started to take protective measures again because of this, it is still unknown.

Unfortunately, things don't go as planned.

Sometimes I want it, it's not there, but sometimes I don't want it, it comes.

"What a pity." Chen Qing stared at his palm and muttered to himself.

You Meng raised his head and said, "What are you talking about? It's fate that we're here."

Chen Qing pulled the corner of his lips and stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll accompany you."

The two stood up together, attracting Tang Xiaoming's attention. After seeing You Meng put his hands behind his back and shook his index finger, he sat down again and followed the movement with his eyes.

The restroom was not far away. You Meng washed his hands and went to the door. He happened to pass by four people, three men and one woman, all of whom looked anxious and were looking for something.

She used to be involved in the social world, and she could tell from the temperament of these people that they were up to no good, so she lowered her head to wipe her hands and paid attention to what they said.

"Boss Qian is furious. What the hell are you doing? A student slipped away right under your nose!"

"Sister, I'm sure she's still on the plane, why don't we find some brothers—"

"No! The boss said she's pregnant and can't get hurt or even bumped in the slightest."

You Meng's eyelids twitched, and he looked at one of them, then slowly retreated while protecting his abdomen.
