Chapter 90 I Can’t Stand It Anymore

A black car drove into a resort on the outskirts of the city.

As night falls, all movement and activity becomes dormant.

Yan Baiqing calmed down outside the courtyard and analyzed the situation.

This person's origin is unknown. If it is Boss Mu, he is probably still angry from that night and wants to save face.

In addition, since the entertainment city was shut down, Boss Mu must have thought it was Chen Qing's fault.

According to reports, Jiang Jingyan left in the afternoon and should still be on the plane.

Boss Mu wanted to take action and no one could stop him.

He threw away his cigarette butt and took big steps.

There were several bodyguards guarding the courtyard, and seeing him seemed to be expected.

Yan Baiqing was confused and stopped.

A man came out of the room, speaking in a frivolous tone, "Mr. Yan has been following me all the way. Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Where is the girl you took away?"

"Our boss wants to question Miss Chen. Don't worry, Mr. Yan. We will definitely send her home safely after the questioning."

Yan Baiqing took off his coat and put it on his arm. "Since you know who I am, the person behind you probably doesn't want to offend me. Be smart and hand him over."

The man smiled, afraid of hitting his belly, "Our boss said that if you want to know something, go ask a man named Wang Wei. His wife said something she shouldn't say."

Yan Baiqing was stunned and guessed the identity of the person in the room.

So, he said in a deep voice, "Aunt Jiang, why do you have to do this?"

Soon, the door opened to both sides, revealing the situation inside the house.

Mrs. Jiang sat upright in an armchair, with Mrs. Wang standing beside her.

Yan Baiqing looked around but couldn't find Chen Qing.

Mrs. Wang rubbed her hands. "Mr. Yan, I'm so sorry. My husband has explained everything."

Mrs. Jiang took a sip of tea and frowned, "What tea? I changed it."

The servants left.

She was graceful and spoke in a serious tone, "Bai Qing, I've always taken good care of you, considering that you and Jing Yan are from the same school. But this time, you were too presumptuous."

Yan Baiqing was silent for a few seconds, then bowed and said, "Aunt Jiang is right."

"She arranged for Mrs. Wang to remind me to send Chen Qing to the Mu family, and she also allowed Boss Mu to commit misconduct, causing a rift between Jingyan and me. Her concern led her to make mistakes, forcing her to leave. I ask you, was this your idea, or your mother's?"

Yan Baiqing remained silent.

Mrs. Jiang looked at him meaningfully. "This is the second time your mother has been doing something behind my back. I didn't bother to settle the matter with her, but she won't let it go. Tell her, don't forget how my Zhong family drove the Yan family out of town thirty years ago. Thirty years later, I can do the same. Don't provoke me again."

Mrs. Jiang's name is Zhong Manwei. Ever since old man Zhong passed away, in order not to affect Jiang Zhongyi's upright and honest style, she refused to inherit the family business and handed it over to a side branch to manage. The relentless pursuit of Yan Weilan was a tacit understanding shared by all the members of the Zhong family.

"It's my fault." Yan Baiqing pursed his lips, "I will persuade my mother."

Mrs. Jiang's expression softened a bit. "You are a good child. Jingyan doesn't say it, but for more than ten years, he has respected and honored you. It's not just because you are his senior brother."

"I see."

She stood up, picked up her purse, and looked around. "I heard this resort is a project invested by Yan's family."

Yan Baiqing's cheekbones were tense.

"It's a small loss, a small punishment, a big warning. I hope your mother will learn to be more restrained."

Until everyone in the yard left, he still didn't see Chen Qing.

The secretary rushed over at this time, "Mr. Yan, Boss Mu is not in the country."

The light shone on Yan Baiqing's face, making it look gloomy and dark.

In order to prevent him from shutting up Wang Wei and his wife, Mrs. Jiang deliberately used the Mu family's car to make him panic.

So, does Chen Qing also know about it?

Did you conspire with Mrs. Chiang to crack him down?

…

Chen Qingzheng and Mrs. Luo were waiting for Director Zhang in the teahouse.

Mrs. Luo did not allow her to work part-time during the summer vacation, so she devoted all her time to the association.

She has a secret but dares not speak it out.

Mrs. Luo saw through her thoughts. "The teachers in my orchestra only have talent and character. You still don't have a proper master, so your membership in the association is not legitimate. If Director Zhang appreciates you, the fees from one of your performances could be worth a year's part-time job."

Chen Qing smiled, "I think that Master Cui is quite good. Why do you value vulgar things?"

"It's not that I have to value it. There are so many talented people nowadays, but only a few can make it to the top. Background and talent are both indispensable."

What Mrs. Luo said is the truth.

The girls in her band spent half their lives striving for a background. Some were lucky enough to find a sponsor and soar to fame. She sighed, but also understood, even felt fortunate, because she had seen too many top students in school buried by helpless reality.

Director Zhang had a very pleasant conversation with them. After the first two meetings, Director Zhang had a good impression of Chen Qing. Before leaving, they agreed to meet at the association next time.

At the same time, Jiang Jingyan arrived at a Chinese-style villa in another province.

The servant came to greet him, "The secretary is already here."

He hummed, unbuttoning his coat as he walked.

Lian Zhuo quietly went to Zhounan last night and came from Zhounan after receiving the notice this morning.

Entering the living room, he lowered his hands and said, "Mr. Jiang, Ji Mingyin has been found. Someone is watching him."

"Yan Baiqing?"

"That's right." Lian Zhuo took his coat and handed over a file. "Hua Mei was recruited into the opera troupe by Mr. Mu last month. We haven't found any connection between her and Mr. Yan, but she does act suspiciously, so your guess is possible."

Jiang Jingyan unbuttoned his cuffs and said, "Last month, Senior Brother had a long-term plan."

Lian Zhuo paused and spoke tentatively, "Mr. Yan... wouldn't harm Miss Chen, would he?"

The man casually lifted the lid of his teacup, his tone shrouded in secrecy, "He's trying to win over Ji Mingyin, is it possible that he's doing it for that little bit of sex?"

"You mean Qingyoufu Garden?" Lian Zhuo was surprised. "Then he knew about Miss Chen and you?"

Jiang Jingyan said nothing, put down the information and returned to his room.

At night, he video-called Chen Qing.

"What did you do today?"

The screen on Chen Qing's side shook and froze, "Met with Director Zhang."

Jiang Jingyan stared at the screen, his throat rolling, "What are you doing?"

"Running." She panted, sweat soaking the fabric on her chest. "Mrs. Luo said I'm not physically fit enough and she's worried I can't keep up with the intensity of the association's performances, so she asked me to exercise."

"It's so late, are you exercising?" "I can't get up for a morning run, so I'll run at night instead."

Jiang Jingyan rested his fingers on the sides of his face, his mouth was very dry.

On the screen, the lights from the apartment gym shone on Chen Qing's exposed skin, which was pink, flawless and smooth.

His chest bounced as he ran.

He poured a glass of wine, his throat hoarse, "How long will we have to run?"

"Another half an hour."

The panting while speaking made his tailbone more numb.

Jiang Jingyan tried to divert attention, but to no avail.

Chen Qing was exhausted and groaned, "No, I can't take it anymore."

He endured it so hard that his teeth ached. "Tomorrow, I'll send someone to pick you up."
