Chapter 30 He Comes to Protect Tao Siran

Tao Siran stood up suddenly, and the chair made a sharp noise, "Jing Yan..."

Jiang Jingyan walked straight past her and sat on the sofa with his elbows crossed.

He was wearing only a black shirt, with his tie wrapped around his wrists and his sleeves rolled up three times. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging alarmingly.

Chen Qing's breathing seemed to stop and his head was in a mess.

"Senior Brother." Jiang Jingyan said arrogantly, "Who are you going to let sing the song?"

Tao Siran was stunned for a moment, and all his muscles relaxed instantly.

She moved to the sofa in two or three steps and said in a delicate voice, "Jingyan, Mr. Yan is joking with me."

"Are you kidding?" He narrowed his eyes and asked sharply.

Yan Baiqing noticed that his sleeves were shaking, so he covered them with his backhand to comfort them.

The warmth in Jiang Jingyan's eyes disappeared completely.

"Jingyan." Yan Baiqing looked directly at him, his tone carrying the calmness and authority of someone two years his senior. "You should ask Miss Tao what she did."

Their eyes met.

Deep and sharp.

After a long while, Jiang Jingyan tilted his head slightly and said, "Si Ran, sit down."

Tao Siran sat down beside him.

"You tell me." He smiled. "Don't be afraid."

Hearing this, everyone in the room knew that this person was there to support them.

For Tao Siran, he questioned his senior brother.

It seems that the rumors are true, and the Jiang family and the Tao family are about to get married.

Chen Qing's eyes couldn't find focus, and his heart was bleeding.

Sure enough, when they meet in public, he still has to protect his real girlfriend.

Generally speaking, men prefer underground lovers.

Even when Zhang Zhao, the small real estate boss, was caught cheating by his wife, the first thing he did was to move Li Yan away.

Jiang Jingyan would not do that.

He is decent, dignified and clear-headed.

In order to maintain the reputation of the Jiang and Tao families, she would be the one who would be abandoned after weighing the pros and cons.

She has no right to complain.

This is retribution.

Tao Siran explained the whole story in detail, and then laughed to himself at the end, "I thought it would be a good opportunity to add an extra program to my father's birthday party if this student could sing, and it would also add to her resume in the future. It's my fault for speaking without thinking and causing Mr. Yan to misunderstand."

Jiang Jingyan didn't show any emotion after hearing this.

He always keeps his composure and stays calm in all situations.

Chen Qing was immersed in bitterness, her ears were buzzing, and she could not hear how Tao Siran ignored the embarrassment.

Yan Baiqing frowned slightly, "Misunderstanding? Why would I misunderstand?"

Tao Siran looked confused and pitiful, and leaned back.

Jiang Jingyan's arm was lightly touching her shoulder, and at first glance, it looked like he was hugging her.

He said casually, "Uncle Tao's birthday party, we can't hire some low-class students. I'll make the arrangements."

Yan Baiqing said solemnly, "Students should also be respected. Jingyan, you are not a domineering person."

"Arrogant and domineering." Jiang Jingyan paused, tapping his knees. "Brother, you used such words. I must stand up for this female student."

Yan Baiqing didn't reply, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"You mean, Si Ran is arrogant and domineering?"

"Ms. Tao knows it herself."

"She's just a female student. Why are you chasing after her? What's your relationship?"

"Jingyan!" Yan Baiqing's face was clearly angry.

Director Liu secretly wiped his sweat.

These two disciples of Master Meng have been equally matched since they graduated from the military academy. Whenever one is mentioned, the other is always brought up for comparison.

I thought that as long as we were from the same school, we could fight if we wanted to fight and make peace if we wanted to make peace.

I didn't expect the situation to be so tense.

Tao Siran saw the right moment and stepped out to smooth things over. "Jingyan, forget it. It was just a misunderstanding. Don't hurt the relationship between you two brothers."

Jiang Jingyan didn't look at her, his eyes were always on the other side. He said simply and pointedly, "Whoever caused this, apologize and let's put this matter behind us."

Chen Qing looked up and met the man's gaze that brooked no argument.

My eyes were filled with tears in an instant.

Her eyes, which were always clear, were now filled with layers of grievance and embarrassment.

Jiang Jingyan looked away, and the bones in his ears trembled slightly.

Chen Qing's body felt heavy, and he stood up shakily, his throat feeling like it was stuffed with cotton. "Miss Tao, it's me—"

"You know which side should apologize." Yan Baiqing interrupted and took her wrist, "Come with me."

As he was leaving, he said something serious, "Director Liu, the dinner is over. I'm waiting for you to give me a reasonable explanation."

Director Liu had already lost his soul.

Although Yan Baiqing works in Zhounan and has no jurisdiction over this city, he is now being transferred back, but there is no news yet about what specific position he will be assigned to.

If there is a transfer at the same level, the first of the three things a new official will do upon taking office will be enough to burn him to ashes.

Tao Siran suppressed his resentment and turned his head, and saw the man with a gloomy expression.

…

Chen Qing was in a daze.

When Yan Baiqing turned, she turned too.

I have no idea where I am going.

A passing staff member glanced at her. She came to her senses and pulled her hand away. "Mr. Yan."

Yan Baiqing stood still, keeping the appropriate distance.

She wiped her face with the back of her hand and forced a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay." Yan Baiqing looked concerned. "Are you scared?"

She shook her head.

The tears that I had just held back welled up again.

"Sorry." Chen Qing lowered his head and wiped it randomly.

Yan Baiqing raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Qing'er, you are not wrong."

He has been dealing with old foxes in theaters and art centers for many years and knows the filth involved.

Almost no one can resist temptation. It is rare for someone of Chen Qing's age to dare to stick to his principles.

It's also very dangerous.

"I informed the orchestra to allow the actors to bring their families. Don't you have a parent accompanying you?"

Chen Qing was stunned, her eyelashes condensed into clusters, and her pupils were clear and bright. "You knew I was coming?"

Yan Baiqing chuckled, "I know, but I still missed the opening performance."

"Then my leave note—"

"It's me."

Chen Qing pursed her lips, "Thank you."

"It's just a piece of cake." He unbuttoned his coat and put it on her shoulders. "Are you always used to going out alone?"

"I don't have any parents."

Yan Baiqing paused.

"I'm an orphan." Chen Qing didn't hide it. "My roommate came here with me."

He didn't reveal anything, and just as he opened his mouth, someone shouted from not far away.

"Chen Qing!" Yuan Hui panted.

Yan Baiqing swallowed the words on his lips and nodded politely.

"Hello." Yuan Hui was surprised and looked aside. "The person in charge went back. I didn't see you. I looked for you for a long time."

"Nothing, I just ran into someone I know. Let's go."

"I brought your clothes out, change first."

Chen Qing looked around for the bathroom.

She doesn't want to go back.

Yan Baiqing thought for a moment and led them to his lounge.

He then very tactfully called over a female staff member and told her to guard the door while he went to the banquet hall.

Chen Qing changed out of her performance clothes, and Yuan Hui helped her pack up her piano. "That was Mr. Yan, right?"

"Um."

"You know him?"

"I guess so."

"I heard he donated a lot to the school. The people in the next dorm secretly took pictures of him. He's even more handsome in person!"

Chen Qing didn't say anything. He packed up his things and asked the staff at the door to hand them over to the orchestra.

Half a minute ago, she received a message from Lian Zhuo informing her to return to the apartment tonight.

Yuan Hui had to go back to school, and the two separated at the subway station.

Chen Qing sat on the sofa in the living room until late at night, and his cell phone vibrated.

Jiang Jingyan's call.

"Come to the basement." He hung up.

Chen Qingru was like a walking corpse, she did whatever he said.

On the second floor underground, the man leaned against the car door, the fire in his palm burning into his eyes.

She had no strength to lift her legs, so she walked slowly to the car.

"Yan Baiqing, how did you meet him?"

"I met him once at the Luo family."

Jiang Jingyan's cheekbones trembled as he stared silently.

She wisely added, "We met a few more times later."

"Did you ask for it today, or did he take the initiative?"

Chen Qing looked at him and said, "Is it important? Miss Tao has someone to help her. Can't others help me?"

There was a look of condemnation in those eyes, and the grievance was even stronger than the scene in the lounge, which made Jiang Jingyan inexplicably anxious.
