Chapter 150 I only regret not having completely solved her problem
Mrs. Jiang's eyes suddenly turned red. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, shouting, "You said there was no one outside!"
Jiang Zhongyi comforted her in a deep voice, "Keep your voice down. Chen Qing is still at home, so don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself."
"How can I care about my face now?" Mrs. Jiang glared at him with her hair disheveled. "Are you still afraid of being laughed at?"
"The divorce is for your own good. I swear to the organization that I have never done anything to let you down."
"No one would believe that."
Jiang Zhongyi smiled helplessly, sat down, and put his arm around her shoulders and rubbed them.
After a long moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "Manwei, how long has it been since we last met, Old Meng?"
Mrs. Jiang stiffened. "More than 30 years."
"Let's take some time and sit together."
She slowly turned her head, her expression frozen, "What are you going to do?"
"Let's reminisce about the past." Jiang Zhongyi stroked her messy hair. "You've done so much for this family and for me. Divorce is to let you rest."
Mrs. Jiang's heart sank. "You know everything?"
The man's eyes wrinkled as he teased her, "You've kept it a secret from me for over thirty years. You truly deserve to be the eldest daughter of the Zhong family."
"Does Jingyan know?"
"I guess it will be soon."
Mrs. Jiang's breathing was unstable and she was shaking.
Jiang Zhongyi held her hand tightly. "Manwei, the grudges of the previous generation should be handled by me. You shouldered the burden for me in the first half of my life. Do you want your son to continue to shoulder the burden for me in the second half? I am a coward for a man to do this."
"Chen Qing is not the only one in the world. I watched her delay Jing Yan and then you. She is just a little girl. You need me to explain the principle of sacrificing the car to save the driver?"
He laughed heartily, "You, Zhong Manwei, are not the only one in this world. Didn't I still crawl back from the battlefield and protect you my whole life?"
Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears and said, "It's different."
"I've lived to this day, and I can't rest easy without paying back some debts. My only concern is you. Since you know how to sacrifice the car to save the driver, you should consider the divorce and go back to being the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. Don't worry about the rest. I still have a chance to fight for my life."
"Don't say it. I don't agree. But you have to think about it carefully. Jingyan has the same personality as you. Once he knows the truth, it would be easy for him to kill his relatives for the sake of justice, but will he feel good about it?"
The moonlight was dim and cold, pouring into the room. Jiang Zhongyi stared at the pale window frame without saying a word.
Mrs. Jiang crawled into bed, her tone unwavering. "You can retire, but you can't retire because of your past. You have to plan for your son. If the Jiang family is in trouble, can he escape? Without Chen Qing, everything is on track. I only regret that I discovered it too late and didn't deal with her thoroughly from the beginning."
…
The next morning, the old Chinese doctor gave Chen Qing moxibustion in the bedroom.
Jiang Jingyan took the teacup upstairs and leaned lazily against the door frame.
Chen Qing's skirt was rolled up below her chest, and her belly was covered with a small piece of gauze. The rest of her body was white and tender, and it caught his eye without any disguise.
The man's throat rolled, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "How long will it take?"
The old Chinese doctor respectfully replied, "Twenty minutes."
Chen Qing tilted his head and looked at the door, "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
"Well, I'm rude," he admitted frankly, his eyes growing bolder.
"Are we really going to the villa this afternoon? Will Mrs. Jiang be unhappy?"
"Mother has some important things to do. Summer vacation isn't long left, so I'll take you on a few days of fun. Mr. Xiao's confidant will also be there."
“The one called Ji Hyun?”
Jiang Jingyan smiled, "Zhixian is a nickname, and the girl's name is Youmeng."
"Yumeng...is that your real name?"
"Maybe."
Chen Qing became interested. "Mr. Xiao has been with his girlfriend for quite a while. Will they get married?"
"not necessarily."
Tang Xiaoming truly loved this girl. Their relationship had been simmering in lust from the beginning, and then drowning in it. He wouldn't believe it himself if he said there wasn't real love. However, the Tang family's old master already had a wife chosen for his grandson. If he were to marry a woman with a history of prostitution, there would be chaos, and he might even be confined and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Young Master Xiao has lived a carefree life for most of his life, but he plunged into it and refused to come out. Jiang Jingyan was asked by the Tang family to persuade him to "repent and return to the right path", but to this day, he has not mentioned this matter.
It's okay if it's just for fun, but if Tang Xiaoming is serious, no one can persuade him.
After lunch, Lian Zhuo and the nanny loaded some daily necessities into the car.
Jiang Jingyan changed his clothes and took Chen Qing downstairs.
Mrs. Jiang was reading a magazine on the sofa. She raised her eyelids slightly but said nothing.
"My father went out this morning and didn't see you, so he told me to ask you to go out with some friends to relax."
"Too lazy to move."
Jiang Jingyan looked at her and gently pushed Chen Qing's back. "Go wait for me in the car."
"Chen Qing." Mrs. Jiang called her over, her tone gentle, "The old Chinese doctor said it's not advisable to use moxibustion for too long during menstruation. Come back and have another course of treatment."
Chen Qing bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to have caused Madam Jiang to worry."
"It's all in vain whether you worry or not. We need to hurry up, otherwise if we delay for too long, there will be no effect."
She looked up in a daze and met Mrs. Jiang's gaze.
After two or three seconds, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I know."
Mrs. Jiang was satisfied and said, "Go ahead and have a good time for a few days."
Chen Qing left quickly. Mrs. Jiang had indeed sounded the alarm. As she had said in the car, her family background was the least of her worries. The unspeakable secrets of the Jiang and Yan families were the root of the problem. Even though she had escaped the shackles of the orphan training class, and even though Jiang Jingyan had managed to silence the gossip, he still wanted her to leave.
It was the height of summer, and the scorching sun made his skin hurt. Chen Qing rubbed his arms and just as he walked to the car, his cell phone buzzed.
She glanced at the driver's seat and moved aside to answer the call.
At the same time, Jiang Jingyan asked repeatedly in the living room, "Did you ask about father's retirement report?"
"I asked." Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and flipped through a magazine. "Just take care of yourself. Don't worry."
"Judging from your expression, did the talks break down last night?"
The huge living room was silent for half a minute.
Mrs. Jiang looked him straight in the eye. "Last night you reminded me not to provoke Yan Weilan. Today I'm telling you this: no matter what you're investigating, or what you've discovered, keep it to yourself. Don't try to disrupt the existing balance."
Jiang Jingyan stood in the thick white sunlight, his face hard and sharp. "Reason."
"No reason." He was strong, and Mrs. Jiang was not to be outdone. She commanded, "You don't want other women, just Chen Qing. I can't control you. Now that you have achieved your goal, you don't need to worry about other things. Chairman Huasheng will step down at the end of the year. Whether those old foxes on the board of directors obey you and are willing to push you to take your position is your top priority."
The cover of the magazine reflected a large spot of light, swaying between the man's eyebrows.
Jiang Jingyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Mrs. Jiang.
