Chapter 28 Give Me a Chance
A group of people passed by the door of Hall 2.
The bank president's wife looked over and muttered, "It looks like it belongs to the Yan family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Baiqing's figure appeared on the big screen.
There was a burst of exclamations and applause in the museum. He nodded politely and greeted the guests.
"I heard that Master Yan is returning to his post, and his mother has finished recuperating and rushed back from Hong Kong to support her son. The organizers of this dinner are giving face to the Yan family and wanting him to be well-known in the city."
The president's wife was good at digging out gossip, and half of the information Mrs. Jiang knew about the circle came from her.
Jiang Jingyan's face was calm.
The photographer followed Yan Baiqing's steps and moved the picture to the center of the scene.
When Jiang Jingyan was about to be recorded, he wisely moved away.
Yan Baiqing bowed politely, "Mrs. Jiang."
Mrs. Jiang nodded and smiled as a response.
"Jingyan is here too." He was surprised. "Long time no see."
Jiang Jingyan remained motionless in his seat and hummed softly, "Senior Brother."
Yan Baiqing understood his temperament and the status of the Jiang family in the situation, so he didn't care whether he stood up or not.
Mrs. Jiang, on the other hand, scolded with a smile, "It's rude. How can you sit down and greet your senior brother?"
"It's okay." Yan Baiqing also smiled, "Please move, Madam Jiang. The main table in Hall 1 is reserved for you."
Hall No. 1 is for people in the political circle. Jiang Zhongyi never participates in such activities. Mrs. Jiang attended this time as a member of her family.
"Never mind. It's convenient here. Where's your mother? Has she come yet?"
"Here I come."
"I won't go over there. Please say hello to her for me."
Yan Baiqing agreed and turned the topic to Jiang Jingyan.
"I went to the army on New Year's Eve. I heard that Jingyan didn't go this year. So, this is the first time I've seen him since I was discharged from the army."
Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows jumped and her eyes were puzzled.
Jiang Jingyan lifted the lid of his teacup and said calmly, "I went there and just missed my senior brother."
Yan Baiqing suddenly realized and left after a few words of greeting.
The president's wife leaned over to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Mr. Yan's temperament is truly extraordinary. He has captivated so many girls. It's a pity that his mother... Tsk, she has a completely different personality."
Mrs. Jiang had no intention of chatting with her at the moment and stared at Jiang Jingyan.
The latter met his gaze generously, "What are you looking at me for?"
"Where were you on New Year's Eve?"
"So your suspicions haven't subsided yet?" Jiang Jingyan laughed. "Sending a team to 'monitor' me isn't enough."
"The visiting delegation only arrived on the first day of the new year. On New Year's Eve, you—"
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Tao Siran beside her and stopped talking in time.
Tao Siran looked straight ahead with a relaxed expression.
Mrs. Jiang covered her lips and lowered her voice, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Less than twenty minutes after the auction started, Jiang Jingyan went out to smoke.
Tao Siran found that his coat had fallen on the chair and took the initiative to help him.
The man stood at the end of the corridor, the wind blowing away the smoke, making his figure appear ethereal.
"Jingyan." She called softly, "It's cold in spring, be careful not to catch a cold."
Jiang Jingyan lowered his eyes and looked at him disdainfully. He took the suit jacket and put it on his arm. "Thank you."
Tao Siran stood shoulder to shoulder with him, "Are you angry?"
"What's the need for me to be angry?"
"Because Aunt Jiang is strict?" she tried.
Jiang Jingyan exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled, "It's understandable that my mother would investigate me. It's different from the nature of outsiders."
Tao Siran's fingers stiffened slightly and he pretended to be calm.
After a long while, she turned sideways and said, "Jingyan, I apologize to you."
The man looked at her without saying a word.
"I want to know more about you, so I asked someone close to you to question you."
"What did you ask?"
“A place to relax during breaks.”
"Have you found out?"
Tao Siran shook his head.
Even the secretary wouldn't reveal it, and the driver was tight-lipped. Even if she asked in person, he would just brush it off with a few words.
It will eventually be exposed. Instead of making Jiang Jingyan feel dissatisfied, it is better for her to confess proactively.
You can also create an image of someone who dares to act and take responsibility.
Jiang Jingyan extinguished his cigarette butt and brushed his trouser legs against his thighs. "Si Ran, I believe you know your limits."
Tao Siran's eyes fell on the light white stain again. She took a deep breath and endured it.
There is no doubt that Jiang Jingyan is a favored child of this generation.
There were many women who wanted to get close to him, but after all, she was from the Tao family and she couldn't lose face.
If you give a man face, he will give you everything out of guilt.
"I didn't want to disappoint Aunt Jiang, so I was too anxious." Tao Siran took a half step forward, his voice softening involuntarily, "Jing Yan, give me a chance to make amends, okay?"
The window was wide open, and the cold wind rushed in. She shivered and leaned against his chest without leaving a trace.
Jiang Jingyan's eyes were indifferent, and he turned around and said, "Go back."
He took big strides, and Tao Siran was inconvenient in wearing a skirt, so she couldn't keep up for a while.
When we were about to reach the banquet hall, a boy came out answering the phone.
"I had clearly entered Lounge No. 3, but no matter how hard I knocked, the door wouldn't open. I was even chased away by some inexplicable man."
Tao Siran looked over subconsciously.
The boy looked impatient. "Yes, the one who played the erhu on the stage just now. I must meet that person today. Who brought her to No. 3? What kind of person is that? Why was he so sneaky?"
The sound faded away.
Tao Siran paused and followed his direction.
