Chapter 71 I’m sorry for wronging you

As the evening rush hour approaches, the streets are crowded and traffic is heavy.

Chen Qing leaned against the car door, turned his head away and stared out the window.

Along the way, Jiang Jingyan didn't speak on his own initiative, and she ignored him.

While waiting for the traffic light, he grabbed her wrist and rubbed the red mark left by the pulling, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Chen Qing shuddered and pulled back.

The man said calmly, "Tao Siran won't be able to bully you anymore."

She still said nothing.

Jiang Jingyan's cheekbones puffed out. "If you're dissatisfied, you can vent your anger, but leaving with others without permission will not happen again."

"How dare I." Chen Qing said in a neutral tone, "Mr. Jiang has thought it through. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

"Are you willing to pay attention to me?"

She was silent again.

The light turned green, and Jiang Jingyan controlled the steering wheel with one hand. "Mr. Xiao was really scared. He thought he had lost you."

"Is he still afraid?"

"I'll settle the score with him for losing you."

Chen Qing turned his head to look at him, "You dug a hole, and Master Xiao can't escape it."

"He did it willingly."

"You two have such a good relationship."

Jiang Jingyan heard something else and glared at her with a frown, "What nonsense."

Chen Qing continued to stare out the window. "I have to go back to school. I'm rehearsing for a performance soon."

"tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jingyan's phone vibrated.

He glanced at the screen and picked up the phone, "Did father give any instructions?"

The person on the other end of the line was Jiang Zhongyi's secretary. "Mr. Jiang wants you to go home immediately."

He was about to respond when his secretary reminded him, "Bring Miss Chen along."

There was no music playing in the car.

Calls are hands-free.

Chen Qing was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

Jiang Jingyan's expression was also extremely serious. "Why bring her here?"

"Mr. Jiang's order." The secretary said carefully, "I suggest that Mr. Jiang cooperate and not ask me to send someone to invite Miss Chen."

Suddenly, a black car came into the lane from the front, back, left and right.

Jiang Jingyan's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Mr. Jiang wants to see me?" Chen Qing gripped the seatbelt, his knuckles crackling. "Did you...discover something?"

The man said nothing and turned around at the intersection.

Mrs. Jiang would not take the initiative to mention Chen Qing to Jiang Zhongyi. Perhaps Tang Xiaoming could not bear it and confessed.

Runfeng Mansion is located in the East District. It is a famous heirloom house in the city. The residents there are not rich, but noble.

Each house is several kilometers apart, providing great privacy.

There are dedicated personnel to check and record entry and exit, and strict control is implemented.

The last time Chen Qing was brought here, Mrs. Jiang specifically instructed that no traces should be left.

At sunset, the car arrived outside the Jiang family's door.

The accompanying vehicles stopped at the same time, and several bodyguards stood on both sides with their hands hanging down.

Wait quietly.

Chen Qing held his breath and observed them.

Jiang Jingyan sat for a while, then got out of the car to hold her hand.

"You——" Chen Qing was wrapped in his palm, feeling uncomfortable, "I will go by myself."

"What are you afraid of?" He straightened his back and strode into the room.

In Chen Qing's memory, before he and Jiang Jingyan had an intimate relationship, they were always polite and well-mannered.

I wish I could stay eight feet away from outsiders.

During those years in Zhounan, Jiang Jingyan was even more cautious in avoiding suspicion.

Never been alone with her.

The people present were either the nanny or the Luo couple.

So Chen Qing once thought that Jiang Jingyan's feelings for her were based on moral sense.

Rescue and assistance from chance encounters.

Pure and innocent, without a trace of delusion.

Such behavior is unprecedented.

The two of them walked around the screen, and Mrs. Jiang frowned.

Chen Qing's hair stood on end, and he used all his strength to pry his hand apart.

Tang Xiaoming leaned on the sofa, shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly.

Jiang Jingyan took Chen Qing over and told the nanny, "Heat a cup of milk."

Mrs. Jiang was annoyed, "When did you like drinking milk?"

"Chen Qing likes it."

Chen Qing felt as if a thorn in his side and bowed to greet him.

Jiang Jingyan can be disrespectful, but she has to see what Mrs. Jiang thinks.

Before my butt even touched the sofa, I heard a noise coming from the stairs to the second floor.

Chen Qing turned sideways and looked up.

Jiang Zhongyi was wearing a Chinese gown. Although most of his hair was white, he did not look old. His eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Jiang Jingyan's.

He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an extraordinary aura of majesty without even getting angry.

More intimidating than in the news.

Chen Qing couldn't help but lower his head, his hands holding the corner of his clothes trembling.

"Jingyan, come up."

Jiang Jingyan didn't move.

Jiang Zhongyi said in a deep voice, "Is it impossible to call you, Mr. Jiang?"

Tang Xiaoming kicked the tip of his shoe.

Jiang Jingyan stood up and went to pull Chen Qing.

"Please sit down for a moment, Miss Chen." Jiang Zhongyi did not allow any objection, "You came alone."

Tang Xiaoming signaled with his eyes, "Go ahead, I'm here."

Chen Qing knew that he shouldn't anger Jiang Zhongyi at this time, so he nodded slightly.

The living room was silent.

As he turned around, Jiang Jingyan looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Don't bully her."

"You bastard!" Mrs. Jiang threw the magazine on the table. "Who are you talking to?"

Jiang Jingyan dodged quickly and reached out to hook Chen Qing's face.

Soothing, affectionate gestures.

He went upstairs.

Jiang Zhongyi was behind the desk, a cigarette between his fingers. "You are quite capable."

"Father, you are so kind."

"Do you think I'm really praising you?" Jiang Zhongyi snorted and laughed. "You've only been in Huasheng for a short time, and you've learned the cunning of businessmen so quickly!"

Jiang Jingyan took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "You asked me to come back because you care about my work?"

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Jiang Zhongyi put out his cigarette, picked up the teacup, and sniffed the tea. "The Tao family is finished this time, and it's all your fault."

"How can you say that? Madam Tao's nephew is trying to bribe investors to launder money. How could I arrange that? Besides, you were the one who ordered the investigation. I only found out about it after I sent Si Ran home."

"Don't mess with me. You can't arrange it, but you knew about it in advance and watched the Tao family make a mistake."

"That's even more wrong. Si Ran and I are engaged, and this is my mother's project. If something happens to them or the Jiang family, my position in Huasheng will be in jeopardy. Why bother?"

Jiang Zhongyi sucked his cheek and squinted his eyes to examine him.

Jiang Jingyan sat opposite him, neither humble nor arrogant, with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

There is a sense of righteousness.

The incident involving the Tao family was caused by a real-name complaint letter sent to his office.

The evidence is complete and almost no time is spent on verification.

In the afternoon, the investigation team found the whistleblower's information and social relations. Apart from being an employee under his cousin, he had no other identity.

But this letter is very clever.

At the perfect time, before Mrs. Jiang's project was about to be implemented, the relevant departments confirmed that the situation was true.

Moreover, according to the information, the flow of funds of Mrs. Tao's nephew has not yet been reviewed by Mrs. Jiang.

Just one step away.

If Mrs. Chiang had not checked carefully, the Chiang family would have been implicated in this matter.

That’s the step.

That's why Mrs. Jiang turned against the Tao family.

I think that the other party is either trying to drag me down, or they are a family of fools.

Even if there hadn't been that sudden farce at the engagement party, the engagement would still have been cancelled.

The seemingly reasonable direction was exactly what Jiang Jingyan wanted.

What a coincidence.

A cigarette burned out.

Jiang Zhongyi put down his teacup and said, "The Tao family is useless. Your mother chose something else."

Jiang Jingyan paused and his face changed drastically.
