Chapter 125: I'm not done with him if I mess with my woman
Before the performance began, there was chaos backstage and Teacher Gu was asking everyone if anyone had seen Wei Yin.
Yuan Hui finished her makeup and glanced at the corridor. "What's going on again..."
Chen Qing was also surprised that Wei Yin had fought for the performance opportunity even when she was injured, so nothing would go wrong at this critical moment.
She was extremely alert and vigilant to anything unusual around her.
Wei Yin was invited by the staff to the third floor of the B&B, where there was a small conference room used for events.
She maneuvered her wheelchair out of the elevator, and Lian Zhuo came up to her, "Miss Wei."
"Mr. Jiang is here?" Wei Yin was a little surprised and a little nervous. "Is there something wrong?"
Lian Zhuo didn't say anything, pushed her into the meeting room and closed the door.
Jiang Jingyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back tall and bathed in the afternoon sun, making him look much gentler.
Wei Yin pursed her lips, "Mr. Jiang, you're looking for me?"
"Is your injury better?"
"It's better now. No big movements. No pain."
The man turned around and looked down from the top of her head, "What's going on with your forehead?"
Wei Yin wasn't sure if he had seen her first or Chen Qing first, so she didn't dare to say anything more. "I'm not used to the wheelchair, so I accidentally fell."
Jiang Jingyan didn't ask any further questions, but pointed at the long table with his chin, "Mother asked someone to prepare lunch for you."
He strode up behind her and, exerting force with his arms, pushed her towards the edge of the table.
Wei Yin was flattered. She had already eaten, but she didn't want to offend Mrs. Jiang, so she opened the lid and the aroma of rice filled the air.
Jiang Jingyan looked down at her and watched her place the roasted lamb as far away from him as possible.
He said meaningfully, "I forgot, you don't like mutton."
"It's okay." Wei Yin pinched the handle of the spoon and said in a considerate tone, "There are other things. My brother said that the auntie who cooks at the Jiang family is very good. I've been wanting to try it for a long time."
Jiang Jingyan walked around to the table and sat down. "If you never eat it, why would you buy a bowl of mutton soup?"
She looked blank.
"August 7th, afternoon." The man reminded patiently, "Dongsi Hutong."
Wei Yin's confusion gradually faded, and was followed by fear and shock.
Her fingers trembled uncontrollably, large dark shadows appeared in front of her eyes, and she almost slipped out of the wheelchair.
Jiang Jingyan leaned back and examined her appearance. "For Wei Liang's sake, I will listen to your explanation."
"Maybe... I'm bringing food to a friend."
"Which friend?"
"Roommate, my roommate works part-time nearby."
Jiang Jingyan twirled the lighter back and forth between his fingers without saying a word.
Wei Yin swallowed mechanically and pretended to remain calm.
After a long while, he lit a cigarette and asked, "Do you know Horse Face?"
"I don't know him."
"The one who stabbed you."
"My brother said he has been detained."
Jiang Jingyan exhaled a puff of smoke, with a strong sense of oppression. "He wants to hurt me. Do you think I will let him go so easily?"
Wei Yin lowered her head, her hair trembling slightly.
"Even if I am willing, will the Jiang family be willing?"
She spoke with difficulty, keeping her tone steady, "Mr. Jiang is not someone who abuses his power."
Jiang Jingyan suddenly laughed, "So you're sure. In this kidnapping case, he was just an accomplice, attempted murder, and you were only slightly injured. The law can't do anything to him, and neither can I."
"But you were careless." He flicked the ash into the bowl of roasted lamb, his tone nonchalant. "Offending me is a small matter, but if someone takes this opportunity to mess with my woman, no matter who it is, I will never let him go."
Wei Yin froze and slowly looked up, "I don't understand."
"Horse Face was instructed to show me mercy. His intention wasn't to kill me, but to facilitate your saving me."
"I have no motive." Wei Yin clenched her fists and rested them on her lap. "Mr. Jiang, I wanted to please you, but there's no reason to risk my life. This knife is too heavy for me. An inch off, an inch deeper, and my life would be ruined."
"Isn't there still Zhang Zhao?"
Her eyes turned red and she stubbornly retorted, "But he wanted to kidnap Chen Qing, I am innocent!"
"Ma Lian has a brother who does odd jobs in the security department of your school. You have met him. You know that Zhang Zhao holds a grudge against Chen Qing and me, so he deliberately came to Huasheng, saying he was looking for me, but in fact he wanted to expose himself." Jiang Jingyan had a faint smile on his face, but he looked sinister, and his stare at Wei Yin made the hair on his back shiver.
"You wore the same skirt as Chen Qing, which caused me and Zhang Zhao to misunderstand." He finished his cigarette and put it directly into the bowl and rolled it over it fiercely. "Zhang Zhao dared to challenge me because he had someone to back him up, and because he knew you were not my man. Otherwise, even if he had three hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to let Chen Qing suffer. Even if Ma Lian didn't get the chance to do anything, Zhang Zhao's hypocritical insults to you are enough to make my mother feel guilty and enough for her to blame Chen Qing for this."
Wei Yin's face turned pale. "I don't have any omnipotent abilities, and I don't have the money to bribe them..."
"So, you're saying someone arranged it."
She turned pale in an instant, as if she had been tricked.
How could I possibly be Jiang Jingyan's opponent if I played psychological warfare with him?
She thought that showing weakness and playing the victim would always soften his heart, and even if feelings were not so easy to cultivate, a soft heart could protect her for a while. But Jiang Jingyan was not an ordinary man.
Wei Yin was unwilling to give up, and with a final struggle, she said, "Yes, it's very likely someone arranged this, Mr. Jiang. I've fallen into someone else's trap, just like you!"
The situation was urgent, and she could not care less. She clung to the man's knees, tears in her eyes, "My brother and I have received favors from Madam Jiang and the Jiang family. I can't ask someone to plot against you. I won't..."
"Are you plotting against me?"
She stopped crying in an instant and was stunned.
Jiang Jingyan was filled with murderous aura, and his face exuded an icy coldness that penetrated directly into her heart.
He reached out and mercilessly peeled off the gauze. The watch brushed across her cheek, cruelly and mercilessly, and it instantly felt like a slap in the face, burning with pain.
"I know a thing or two about women's little thoughts. You've schemed against Chen Qing, and today is the third time."
Wei Yin trembled, "I don't recognize..."
"Kidnapping, wheelchair." Jiang Jingyan brushed aside the gauze, pinched her jaw, and forced her to look up. "Why is Miss Zhang looking for Chen Qing?"
"She suspected that Chen Qing and Mr. Yan were too close. Almost everyone was saying that Chen Qing and Mr. Yan were having an affair, and there were photos..."
The man's five fingers suddenly exerted force, pinching her so hard that she groaned in pain. "Then you better be careful. If Miss Zhang doesn't see what she wants to see, she will naturally hold the blame on the person who deceived her."
Wei Yin cried so loudly that Lian Zhuo couldn't help but remind her outside the door.
Jiang Jingyan let go of her and straightened his clothes. "I'll give you one day to confess who is behind this."
There was a gloom between his brows as he walked out of the meeting room.
Lian Zhuo glanced into the room with lingering fear. Wei Yin had knocked over the lunch box on the table, and the soup spilled all over the floor.
After going downstairs, the receptionist at the B&B stared at the man's back and made a phone call, "Mr. Yan, Wei Yin has been exposed."
