Chapter 167 I'm anxious to be a father (110 diamonds + more)
In the evening, Jiang Zhongyi came to the mansion accompanied by Zheng Yuan.
Chen Qing and Mrs. Luo were washing fruit in the restaurant, keeping an eye on what was happening outside.
"Your uncle Luo and I have left you a dowry."
She was surprised, "Dowry?"
Mrs. Luo smiled. "Yes, ever since you came of age, your Uncle Luo has been urging me to prepare. I originally thought this day was still far away and plans couldn't keep up with changes. But judging by Mr. Jiang's attitude, we have to move it forward."
Chen Qing plucked a grape and threw it into his mouth. "What do you mean in advance? He just said it casually."
"Is it just a casual remark? We are ready too."
"No need to prepare anything." She shook Mrs. Luo's hand. "I owe the Luo family too much. I can't pay it back."
Mrs. Luo pretended to be angry. "What else? Don't you recognize us?"
"no…"
"This is what the Luo family should give. Your Uncle Luo's business has been growing steadily over the years. Without Mr. Jiang's advice from behind, he might have been unable to overcome several difficulties. He trusted us and raised you in the Luo family. Now that you are married, it would be inappropriate if we didn't express our support." Mrs. Luo placed the fruits on a plate and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
Before leaving, she hugged Chen Qing and smiled lovingly, "Your dowry is no less than that of a young lady from an aristocratic family. Although it may not be in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, seeing how much Mr. Jiang loves you, he will not let you suffer in the Jiang family. He even invested in the Luo family company in your name to prevent him from encountering an accident and you are unprotected."
Chen Qing picked up the fruit plate, his mind in a mess.
Jiang Jingyan had made a thorough plan, but there was still the hurdle of Mrs. Jiang. It might be a waste of time and effort.
The two walked into the living room. Jiang Zhongyi did not change into his private clothes, and Zheng Yuan was the same, with a very low mood.
"The provincial department and your old boss can't persuade me, will you give me face?" Jiang Zhongyi said with a calm and commanding presence, "The task has fallen on you, and you still have the right to be picky?"
Chen Qingping took a deep breath, put down the fruit plate and prepared to leave.
Helplessly, Jiang Jingyan didn't give her a chance. He pulled her to sit next to him, rolled up his sleeves, and had several large bruises on his face, which were caused by hitting the cliff.
"Are you and your mother sitting comfortably at home?" he said in a stern tone. "Where's Qing'er?"
Jiang Zhongyi coughed and cleared his throat, and his tone slowed down, "Chen Qing, you have suffered."
"It's okay..." Chen Qing turned away from Jiang Jingyan and tucked his arms behind his back. "It was my own recklessness."
"You disregarded your own safety for Jingyan. The Jiang family will remember this."
Jiang Jingyan interrupted, "Of course the Jiang family has to keep this in mind. Tell mother that she will handle Miss Zhang's affairs. Don't let Qing'er be bullied by others later."
Jiang Zhongyi laughed angrily, "You can't solve the problem yourself, so you throw it to me to solve it, and divert the conflict."
"She listens to you."
"Okay." He compromised, raising his voice. "I'll handle it, but you have to express your opinion, right?"
Jiang Jingyan crossed his legs and spoke in a scoundrel tone, "Let's put things in perspective. I don't have time to spare. Huasheng has a lot of problems. The people inside the group are not focused on the company, but are instead teaming up with outsiders to target me. It's the same mess up there. You're not in a hurry to have a grandson, but I'm in a hurry to be a father."
Jiang Zhongyi was on the verge of anger, "Asshole! Can't you tell the difference between priorities?"
He roared and Chen Qing shuddered with fear.
Zheng Yuan frowned and chose his words carefully, "Are you saying... that someone in the province is colluding with the outside world?"
Jiang Jingyan took Chen Qing in his arms and said, "Finally, there is someone who understands things."
"Do you have a goal?"
"I told them to protect Chen Qing. Anyone who keeps silent and tries to distract me will be investigated first."
This matter is of no small importance. It is common to have traitors in companies. If there is a traitor at a higher level, too many people will be involved and the consequences will be more serious.
Zheng Yuan sat up straight. "Ms. Chen, please tell us again what happened over the past few days from beginning to end. Remember, explain every detail clearly and don't be vague."
He was so serious that Chen Qing became nervous for a moment.
Jiang Jingyan's voice was low and intimidating, "Who are you trying?"
"How dare I interrogate my sister-in-law? I'm used to it..."
"Take your method back and use it. Qing'er has said everything she needs to say and given you the direction. If you can't find any results, it's because you're useless."
Zheng Yuan's face felt hot and his expression changed.
Chen Qing quickly tried to smooth things over, "I'll say it again, it's nothing."
She followed the timeline provided by Zheng Yuan, recording everything that had happened in the past few days and who she had come into contact with, no matter how big or small.
Jiang Zhongyi lit a cigarette and listened quietly. He could tell that Jiang Jingyan wanted him to remember Chen Qing's contribution, not only to remember it, but also to be grateful. Chen Qing had no official status yet and had experienced a life-or-death crisis. The person who passed the message might not necessarily let the Jiang family know, let alone Mrs. Jiang's ears.
He looked at Chen Qing. He had thought that this girl was well-behaved and would not cause trouble or stir up trouble. But now it seemed that she was courageous and tenacious. As the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, although her family background was a little poor, her character was definitely not bad. She was a hundred times better than the Tao, Xue and Wei families that Mrs. Jiang had chosen before.
Chen Qing finished explaining everything and moistened his throat with a cup of tea.
Jiang Jingyan stroked her back, his doting eyes open and unconcealed.
Zheng Yuan pondered for a long while, "That shouldn't be the case. You contacted Yan Baiqing, so there's no reason for him to chase after him. How can you be so sure that he will leave the city?"
Chen Qing choked on the water awkwardly, his face flushing red. "I've met him before, so we're quite familiar. He... probably had good intentions, so he came after me anyway. I figured if he was involved at the Westport Wharf, he'd stop me from taking Wei Yin to surrender in the city, so I took a detour. I didn't expect he'd still be targeted."
"No, it's a trick. He framed Jing Yan. Why would he save you for no reason? A rival's woman is in danger. Why would he join in the fun? She's not his own woman."
Zheng Yuan is a very straight man. He is as naive as a mentally retarded person when it comes to love between men and women. Every word he says touches Jiang Jingyan's heart.
Jiang Zhongyi watched the excitement for a long time and said, "Alright, Bai Qing has his reasons. He is probably involved. Ask Chen Qing. How can she guess?"
Zheng Yuan nodded in agreement, saying seriously, "Yes, it's true that he has ulterior motives. There might be new developments in Zhounan. I have to go there quickly."
Jiang Jing was upset and didn't move.
Zheng Yuanzi thought he was still upset about what happened just now and scratched his head, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I have a bad attitude."
Chen Qing stood up and saw him off. "It's okay. He's just making a fuss. Don't take it to heart."
Jiang Zhongyi glanced at the sullen-faced man on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "You are here to cooperate with the investigation. Is it in accordance with the rules for Miss Chen to stay here?"
Jiang Jingyan was irritable and lit a cigarette lazily. "When I go out, Qing'er will go out too. I'm worried that no one will protect her."
Zheng Yuan said inappropriately, "Didn't Yan Baiqing have an intention? Why not let my sister-in-law give him a try?"
Jiang Zhongyi's eyes were deep. "The more panicked Chen Qing is, the more serious your plan will be. If she disappears for too long, it will be easier for her to see through her flaws."
Jiang Jingyan's eyes suddenly turned fierce as he stared at the two of them. "Using Chen Qing as bait is wishful thinking."
