Chapter 88 I Don’t Want to Drag You Down

Two dark shadows appeared in front of Chen Qing, so deep that they seemed to be engraved on the ground.

The two men were inexplicably at odds with each other.

Yan Baiqing put his hands behind his back and replied vaguely, "You have connections in Zhounan, and I have the same connections in Zhounan. How you know is how I know."

"Brother put a lot of effort into the phrase 'I can't bear it,'" Jiang Jingyan handed him a cigarette. "But it's a pity that Boss Mu got away with it."

Yan Baiqing rubbed the cigarette back and forth, "What do you mean?"

"The illegal drugs seized at the entertainment city had nothing to do with Boss Mu. The police couldn't find the source. Boss Mu used his connections to track down the drug trafficking ring. My senior wanted to bring him down, but instead, it gave him an opportunity to make a contribution."

"I just reported the illegal transactions at the entertainment city to interrupt his evil intentions towards Qing'er. Jingyan, do you suspect that I arranged this on purpose?"

Jiang Jingyan held the cigarette in his mouth and laughed, "No."

Yan Baiqing stretched his sleeves and said, "Since there is no misunderstanding and Qing'er is safe, I will leave first."

He left.

Chen Qing and Mrs. Luo got into the business car together, and Tang Xiaoming was answering the phone in the driver's seat.

After hanging up, he said in a heavy tone, "Jingyan, your father is back."

Jiang Jingyan nodded.

Chen Qing looked at his profile, solemn and calm.

As if he didn't care about the coming storm.

Tang Xiaoming clicked his tongue, "I just don't understand. Yan Baiqing wants to deal with Boss Mu, why are you interfering?"

"Boss Mu is not a clean person on weekdays, but I had someone watching him last night, and he didn't touch those things. Besides, I just took the person away from him, and then a drug bag was thrown into the box to frame him. It's inevitable that the blame will be placed on the Jiang family. I might as well give him some advice to repay this favor. If something happens in the future, it will be his fate and has nothing to do with others."

"Are you afraid that he will blame the Jiang family, or are you afraid that he will blame Chen Qing?"

Jiang Jingyan glanced at him without saying anything.

Chen Qing was uneasy and hesitated to speak, remaining silent all the way to his apartment in the city center.

Mrs. Luo accompanied her upstairs.

Jiang Jingyan returned five minutes later and leaned against the door frame. "What are you packing?"

Chen Qing's back stiffened, and without turning around, he said, "The master bedroom is for Mrs. Luo. I'll sleep in the second bedroom tonight."

"Me."

"Aren't you going back to the Jiang family?"

"Yes." Jiang Jing said in a playful tone, "Aren't you planning to go find my mother and ask for justice?"

Chen Qing leaned over to make the bed. "Mrs. Jiang didn't expect Mr. Mu to act like this. I begged her to give me a place to go so you could deal with the rumors more quickly. If I didn't leave, others would take advantage of my presence and keep throwing dirty water at you. Mr. Mu and Mrs. Jiang are close friends regardless of age. She arranged for me to go to the Mu family because she wanted me to rest and have peace of mind."

“Since he wanted you to sleep peacefully, why didn’t Mr. Mu formally introduce you to Mr. Mu, and let a Pipa girl take care of you at will.”

Chen Qing was stunned.

The man approached slowly, "Because my mother didn't tell the Mu family, she doesn't take your situation seriously, and the same goes for Mr. Mu."

Her eyes were sore and she rubbed her nose. "It doesn't matter. It's understandable that Mrs. Jiang blames me."

"You chose to trust my mother, and even trusted Yan Baiqing." Jiang Jingyan's eyes darkened, "but you chose not to trust me and protect you."

Chen Qing dropped the pillow, tears streaming down his face. His voice became hoarse from the pressure he put on himself. "I can't burden you any longer!"

The indigo light filtering through the window made her features hazy.

There were two teeth marks on his lips, with faint blood beads appearing from them, which were caused by biting him hard.

Jiang Jingyan touched her cheek, gently rubbing it with his fingertips, his chest feeling very stuffy, "Don't cry."

Chen Qing buried his head in his shoulder, feeling extremely aggrieved.

After crying enough, she wiped her tears and looked behind him, "What are you hiding?"

Jiang Jingyan paused and stretched out his hand.

It's the erhu with a broken head.

"Have you fixed it?" Chen Qing took it, held it in his arms, and checked it over and over again.

Treat it as a treasure.

Jiang Jingyan smiled imperceptibly, "Try it, is it the same as before?"

The white magnolia could not be restored, so he searched the entire southern part of the continent early in the morning and found a master craftsman who repaired the white magnolia into a single-bud hibiscus.

Quite playful.

Chen Qing burst into laughter and carefully put it into the piano case.

"Mrs. Luo, please stay here tonight. You come back to the Jiang family with me."

After saying this, she said with a sad face, "Do I have to go?"

Jiang Jingyan laughed out loud, "I must go."

…

Jiang Zhongyi couldn't spend the night in the city, so he left the team midway and went home temporarily.

Jiang Jingyan walked into the living room, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Father." He took Chen Qing's hand and sat down without greeting Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Zhongyi held his tongue and put down his teacup. "I've only been gone for a short time, and you swore you could handle it. This is the result of your handling."

"If it weren't for my mother's insistence, the situation wouldn't have come to this."

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red with anger, "Is it my fault?"

Chen Qing was on pins and needles and wanted to explain, but was stopped by Jiang Jingyan.

His face was gloomy. "Did you know that Boss Mu sent Chen Qing to the entertainment city?"

Jiang Zhongyi and Mrs. Jiang's expressions suddenly changed.

Jiang Jing's tone was too serious. "How old is Qing'er? If she falls into Boss Mu's hands, can she escape? Even if she escapes, will she still have a chance of survival? You keep saying that you're thinking about me, but you feel at ease sending her into a den of tigers and wolves?"

"I have known Mr. Mu for many years. I am here because I am at ease..."

"Mr. Mu is trustworthy. Is there any one of his sons who can become a useful person?"

Jiang Zhongyi calmed down a lot and turned his gaze to Chen Qing. "Miss Chen is frightened."

Chen Qing pursed his lips and smiled, "Nothing serious happened."

"It will be too late if something serious happens." Jiang Jingyan said aggressively, examining Madam Jiang. "If I go a step late, you can imagine the consequences."

Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale and blue, "I don't know..."

Jiang Zhongyi came out to smooth things over and changed the subject, "The city is putting pressure on us, what are your plans?"

Jiang Jingyan stretched his trouser legs and said indifferently, "Originally, the higher-ups knew that someone was deliberately looking for trouble, so they let me handle it. I was more than enough to deal with Hua Sheng, but yesterday I was anxious to save Chen Qing, so I didn't answer the phone or go to the meeting, which caused dissatisfaction in the city."

He was silent for a few seconds, "I'm going to another province, the Huasheng branch."

Mrs. Jiang stood up suddenly. "This is a demotion! Isn't this a disguised admission of error?"

"So what do you think I should do, mother?"

The huge living room was as cold as an ice cellar.

Jiang Zhongyi sighed slowly, "This is indeed the only way at the moment, don't bother with it anymore."

Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale and she dropped the teacup.

Chen Qing's heart sank into the abyss, and the man's thumb brushed the back of her hand lightly.

She turned her head and saw Jiang Jingyan's tough profile.

Jiang Zhongyi answered a phone call and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Jiang collapsed on the sofa, and the nanny brought her ginseng soup.

Suddenly, Jiang Jingyan lowered his tone and said, "I have something to ask you."

Madame Chiang didn't look at him.

"You are the only one my father has ever had."
