Chapter 52 I am more qualified than Yan Baiqing (Supplement 1)

Jiang Jingyan's cell phone kept ringing.

After hanging up the call from Huasheng, Mrs. Jiang’s call came again.

He threw it to Lian Zhuo, his jaws tense. "Chen Qing, don't you understand the saying 'playing according to circumstances'?"

"I don't understand." She looked up angrily, "I owe him. I'll do whatever he wants me to do."

"You owe me, why don't you pay me back?"

Chen Qing was stunned.

Jiang Jingyan took a half step closer and said, "Since you are grateful for the favor, I will allow you to stay in the hospital until Yan Baiqing is discharged. As for the rest of your thoughts, I advise you to put them aside."

Lian Zhuo answered the phone and returned, "My wife went to Washington."

Chen Qing turned and was about to leave, but Jiang Jingyan pulled her back abruptly, pouting her chin. "Six years. I believe I'm more qualified than Yan Baiqing. What can Miss Chen do?"

He rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, his eyes showing a hint of irritability and a warning, "When you return to the apartment tonight, don't let me arrest you in front of Yan Baiqing."

…

In the ward, the only visitor was Mrs. Yan.

Yan Baiqing leaned his head back against the pillow, a look of fatigue between his brows.

Madam Yan brought him a glass of water and fed him, "I'll help you put on a show and hurt myself by a thousand. This is your ability."

He turned his head away and asked, "Mother, are you helping me?"

"The Tao family's minor mistakes can't be caught. Only when they make a big mistake, with lives lost and blood shed, can they be brought down."

"A human life, don't you care so much?"

"Even if you hadn't risked your life, the girl wouldn't have lost her life. At most, she would have been injured or disabled, and the Tao family would have taken care of the aftermath. The goal justifies any means; only a wise person can understand the logic behind it. When it comes to profit, you shouldn't consider sacrificing countless victims."

Madam Yan became more and more angry as she spoke, and slammed down her cup. "I've met Meng Hongwen."

Yan Baiqing's face suddenly became serious.

"Deputy?" Her tone revealed disbelief. "I ignored you for a whole year, and you've gotten into this mess. The son of the Jiang family has stepped on your head!"

"Jingyan is in business now. He and I are on different paths. It doesn't matter who is higher or lower."

"Stop talking nonsense! You know better than me what role he plays in Huasheng, and what kind of figure he will be in the city once he takes control of the group. We were taught by the same teacher, and if he calls you 'senior brother' from now on, can you handle it?"

Yan Baiqing opened his mouth, then suddenly looked up when he realized something.

Mrs. Yan followed his gaze and saw a faint hint of light blue in the narrow gap of the door.

She strode over and opened the door.

The figure by the wall shuddered in fear.

Chen Qing bowed slightly, "Mrs. Yan."

Madam Yan looked him up and down and asked unkindly, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Baiqing was afraid that her anger would spread to Chen Qing, so he turned over and got out of bed.

He took a few steps to the door and stood in the middle. "Mother has seen it. Let's go back first, okay?"

Madam Yan frowned and stared at him, "Don't let it happen again."

After saying that, he turned away.

Chen Qing helped Yan Baiqing push the IV stand back. "Mrs. Yan is right to be angry with me. Don't worry, the needle is rolling."

She immediately went out to call the nurse.

"Qing'er." Yan Baiqing called her, "How much did you hear?"

She shook her head, "I didn't hear it. I was about to knock on the door, but I heard Madam Yan talking, so I just waited on the side."

silence.

Yan Baiqing looked above her head.

After a long while, Chen Qing couldn't hold back and confessed, "...I heard Madam Yan mention Mr. Jiang."

She was embarrassed, twiddling her fingers and not looking at him.

Jiang Jingyan and Yan Baiqing are two of the young people in the circle who are often compared.

In the past in Zhounan, Mr. Luo would joke with both of them, but he would not look down on one of them just because he had a good relationship with the other.

In the fierce competition between dragons and tigers, excellent opponents are hard to come by. In addition to competition, to a certain extent, it can also help you achieve your own success.

When Jiang Jingyan mentioned Yan Baiqing, he expressed his unwillingness to admit defeat and his admiration for him.

Not derogatory.

As a mother, Mrs. Yan would actually be so harsh on her son.

It seems that not only ordinary people have the trouble of "other people's children", but people with such backgrounds cannot avoid it either.

Yan Baiqing's back slowly relaxed, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

She pursed her lips. "No, I used to be compared to the top student in my grade. Parents always want their children to be successful."

"So who do you think is first and who is second, me or Jingyan?"

She was stunned and didn't say anything.

Yan Baiqing coughed, his voice hoarse, "Pour me a glass of water, thank you."

Chen Qing touched the cup that Madam Yan had put down earlier. It was warm.

Just feed it directly to his mouth.

"I can do it myself."

Yan Baiqing raised his hand and she dodged.

The glass of water swayed and half of it spilled out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Are you burned?" Chen Qing hurriedly took a towel and said, "I just wanted you to stop moving so I can do it."

Yan Baiqing glanced at her and said nothing.

"Just lie down and I'll do it. Is that comfortable?"

The water wet a small area of ​​the bed. Chen Qing helped him lie on his side and put a quilt behind his waist.

She didn't notice anything wrong, she bent down and looked at him, her eyes clear as black and white, "What about this posture? Will it be tiring?"

Yan Baiqing tried his best to ignore the ambiguity in these words, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, "No."

Chen Qing continued to wipe the water stains on his clothes.

After a long while, he broke the silence, "Have you taken care of him like this?"

Chen Qing paused and straightened up.

The smile on Yan Baiqing's lips was so faint that it was almost invisible. "You two have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"

He hasn't mentioned it since he was caught red-handed in the teahouse.

Chen Qing just thought that he didn't care, or was just being polite and not asking about his privacy.

I didn't expect to be asked at this time.

Yan Baiqing took the towel and lifted up the hospital gown. "In the Luo family, is he one of the reasons you disagreed?"

Chen Qing's heartbeat stopped for a moment.

Her back was covered in cold sweat. She lowered her head and grabbed the towel to wipe it for him. "No."

Yan Baiqing's waist and abdomen tensed up.

After Chen Qing finished wiping, he rang the bell to call the nurse and said in a very soft voice, "I agree."

"What?"

"I say." She faced him, their eyes meeting. "I agree with what you said at the Luo family."

…

Chen Qing was guarding Yan Baiqing in the hospital.

Jiang Jingyan took the time to meet Mrs. Jiang in the coffee shop downstairs of Huasheng Group.

As soon as they met, she peppered him with questions, "Where did you come from? Is Bai Qing injured?"

"Hospital."

“I’m really hurt…”

Jiang Jingyan loosened his tie, his face showing displeasure. "You came to me in such a hurry just for this?"

Mrs. Jiang's expression was solemn. "It's being said outside that Bai Qing was trying to save a girl. Is that right, Chen Qing?"

He puffed out his cheeks and said nothing.

"Does this matter have anything to do with Si Ran?"

He still didn't speak.

Mrs. Jiang was anxious, "Tell me, is there one?"

"Are you worried now? I thought you could see Tao Siran's character the first two times. Whether there's any connection or not, we'll have to wait for the police to report. But if you can think of her, there's no way you can say the Yan family won't."

Mrs. Jiang picked up the coffee cup and fell silent.

Jiang Jingyan looked at her with an ambiguous expression. "Brother, the tendon in your hand was damaged this time. It's not a minor injury. The Yan family and the city will take it seriously. Those involved in the case will most likely not be able to escape."

"Since there's no official notification, everything is just suspicion. Don't put the blame on Si Ran."

"Didn't you ask me first?"

"I—" She stood up angrily, "I'm reminding you that Si Ran will be your wife in the future, and you should protect her in front of others! I really came here out of boredom, so you should pay attention to this matter!"

The sky is filled with sunset glow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jiang Jingyan looked at Mrs. Jiang's back as she left, his expression extremely sinister.

Although Tao Siran is proud in nature, he does not have the courage to kill anyone.

He narrowed his eyes and tapped his kneecaps with his fingers intermittently.

Qi Kai knew that he was the one behind Chen Qing. If he dared to commit the crime against the wind, there must be someone behind him.

Seeking revenge and venting anger is impossible.

He was able to do such a thing and transferred Qi Kai so quickly.

Purposeful and premeditated.

Who on earth dares to stir up such trouble?
