Chapter 151 Too Much Water
Chen Qing sat in the car for about ten minutes before Jiang Jingyan left.
His expression was even gloomier than before, and he felt chilly even in the bright sunshine.
The man sat down beside her. She licked her lips and considered for a moment, "Mr. Yan called me."
Lian Zhuo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, paused and turned to look at her.
Jiang Jingyan unbuttoned two shirt buttons with his fingertips, "What are you talking about?"
"Ask me where I am and where I'm going." Chen Qing didn't say much and automatically blocked out Yan Baiqing's words of concern for her health to avoid Jiang Jingyan's misunderstanding.
She pursed her lips and said, "I didn't tell him the truth. I said I was traveling with Yuan Hui."
Lian Zhuo hesitated to speak. Yan Baiqing was not so easy to fool. This was just a case of trying to cover up one's own faults.
He sat up straight and told the driver to drive.
Chen Qing's serious look was so cute that Jiang Jingyan couldn't help laughing. He teased her chin and said, "It's a long journey. Let's get some sleep."
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the man's expression, she leaned against him and asked, "Do you know who Mr. Yan's biological father is?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"curious."
"Curious about other men?" Jiang Jingyan pinched her mouth.
She whined and struggled to break free, "I'm just gossiping, don't tell me if you don't want to!"
Chen Qing always thought of what Mrs. Jiang said in the car. Everyone thought that Yan Baiqing had a good impression of her. If it weren't for what Mrs. Jiang said, she would probably think so too.
But Mrs. Jiang was so wary of Yan Baiqing's biological father that she had other ideas. Yan Baiqing approached her perhaps for other purposes, and it was very likely related to his biological father.
Two hours had passed since arriving at the villa. Chen Qing rubbed his eyes and saw that there was only one car. "Where is Mr. Xiao?"
"I turned off to the airport halfway." Jiang Jingyan took a wet tissue to wipe her face, "You drooled all over my hand."
The scent of aloe vera made her head clearer. "I slept on my hands!"
"There was too much water and it overflowed into my hands."
Chen Qing didn't know what he was thinking about, and the tips of his ears were red as if bleeding.
Jiang Jingyan glanced at her and said, "Don't tease me during your menstrual period."
"Who seduced you?" She got out of the car angrily.
After Tang Xiaoming received You Meng's call, he went straight to the villa, arriving half an hour earlier than them.
Jiang Jingyan and Chen Qing found him in the swimming pool. The blue water was rippling continuously. A long-haired woman came out and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Chen Qing looked at her quietly and instantly understood why her nickname was 'Ji Xian'.
They are so similar, even the position of the mole on the tip of the nose is exactly the same.
Tang Xiaoming swam over and lifted You Meng ashore, splashing water.
Jiang Jingyan put force on Chen Qing's waist with his arms, and her feet were suspended in the air and she dodged.
Tang Xiaoming was grinning and was about to splash water again, but Jiang Jingyan frowned, "Stop it, Qing'er can't stand the cold, where is the thing I want?"
"On the chair."
You Meng looked at Chen Qing and tilted his head. "Is he really that young? He must have been abducted by Mr. Jiang."
"I'm almost 21," Chen Qing answered seriously, "He didn't kidnap me."
Tang Xiaoming slapped the woman's buttocks fiercely, "What are you talking about? If you make Jing Yan angry, I can't protect you."
"Just a joke." You Meng stuck to him and walked towards the rest area.
Jiang Jingyan was flipping through the documents brought by Tang Xiaoming. Chen Qing sat down next to him and took a glance. It was a thick stack.
The man pointed to the left, "Have you called anyone?"
Chen Qing poked his head out, "Mr. Xiao, what should I call this? Sister-in-law?"
You Meng sat sideways on Tang Xiaoming's lap, her expression stiff.
Tang Xiaoming leaned back with his hands on his head, "See? Sister Qing'er is a stubborn person. You said her man kidnapped a good girl, and she mocked me."
Chen Qing shook his head naively, "I don't have any."
"Call me Sister Meng." Tang Xiaoming drank his juice. "Who would dare to answer if you call me sister-in-law?"
"That won't do. If Mrs. Jiang asks about it later, she'll probably say I'm being unruly."
He spit out the straw, jumped up from the recliner, and pointed at her, "If you dare to tell Mrs. Jiang, I will deal with you."
Jiang Jingyan looked up from the documents.
Tang Xiaoming suddenly retracted his finger and kicked the tip of his shoe, "You don't want to do anything about it?"
He crossed his legs and spoke casually, "Of course I do. It's only natural for a father to take care of his son. I've been taking care of you, Young Master Xiao, for so many years. I don't call you dad for nothing."
Chen Qing chuckled.
Tang Xiaoming lost face in front of his woman, his eyebrows raised and his teeth gritted.
She quickly paved the way, "Sister Meng, I was reckless. I'll go back to the room and apologize to you later."
You Meng was not a proud woman. She hugged Tang Xiaoming's neck and teased her deliberately, "Being vulgar is not considered an apology."
"You can ask anything about Young Master Xiao." Chen Qing waved his hand generously.
"Jiang Jingyan!" Tang Xiaoming was furious. "You are so naive! Why do you tell everything to a little girl——"
Jiang Jingyan closed the folder and threw it aside, his tone heavy, "Is that all?"
Tang Xiaoming stopped playing around and put his arm around You Meng's waist, rubbing it back and forth. "These were found by Meng Meng after taking the risk and working a week at the club."
"The Yan family made their fortune in jewelry, so it's reasonable for them to be involved in the pawnbroking sector. There's nothing to investigate."
You Meng tossed her hair back, her face smooth and cunning, "That's not necessarily true. Fake stones exchanged for real gold, that's the problem."
"You don't know Yan Weilan. That woman is cunning. Even if there were fake stones, she would find someone to blame and claim she had no knowledge of them, including the auction house. It's a matter of mutual consent. It's worth it for the witness to insist on the high-priced jewelry. The chain of evidence is incomplete, so it doesn't constitute money laundering."
Tang Xiaoming kissed You Meng and said nonchalantly, "I've told you before, even if Yan's has a stain, it's in the Greater Bay Area. Business there is fraught with problems, and the law is difficult to judge. You're not capable of doing that with your current abilities, and the higher-ups won't approve. If you act rashly, you'll only alert the enemy. Don't bother."
While listening, Chen Qing glanced at You Meng's legs.
At first glance, it seems long, but upon closer inspection, it is well-proportioned and delicate, with faint muscle lines, and the impact is extremely strong.
She straightened hers, half as short.
Jiang Jingyan laughed grimly and pinched her waist, "What are you playing?"
Chen Qing curled up her legs and squeezed towards him, "No..."
Tang Xiaoming looked at her meaningfully, "Mengmeng can't get in touch with the core of the Yan family. If you want to know the inside story, you have to send someone who will not be on their guard."
Jiang Jingyan gave Chen Qing a warning look and pulled her up, "Go back to your room."
This villa is located close to the top of the mountain, hidden in the woods, with a spacious front yard overlooking the entire city.
On the way back, Chen Qing tried to ask, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Yes." The man blocked the wind with his body and hugged her. "Don't hold back when gossiping with Youmeng about Young Master Xiao."
"Seriously, if Sister Meng can gather intelligence for you, so can I."
Jiang Jingyan laughed out loud, "Silly talk."
He refused to say anything. Chen Qing knew what he was worried about. After returning to the room, he searched online for all of Yan's actions after returning to the city.
As I was watching, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Qing climbed out of bed and opened the door.
Outside the door was a woman in a black uniform, smart and neat, with a name tag on her chest and a food cart beside her.
"Ms. Chen." The woman smiled politely and handed over her business card. "I'm the villa's housekeeper. I'm here to deliver a welcome gift. If you need anything in the next few days, feel free to contact me."
Chen Qing stepped aside to let her in and asked casually, "Just one? We have friends here."
"Mr. Xiao and his female companion are still in the swimming pool. Someone has been sent over."
The woman set out the champagne and fruit plate, then bowed and left.
After she walked away, Chen Qing immediately picked up the bottle and checked it.
When Jiang Jingyan took her out, he would not be so high-profile as to let a staff member know who she was. The woman blurted out "Ms. Chen", so there must be something wrong.
In addition, the matter between Tang Xiaoming and You Meng had become a hot topic in the Tang family, and Jiang Jingyan would not reveal his true identity to avoid getting into trouble if the Tang family found out. It seemed that he knew all about the four of them.
