Chapter 282: It is indeed the girl raised by Mr. Jiang
Chen Qing had no time to panic or grieve, and quickly analyzed who the rumor was referring to.
Qi Kai.
The rich second generation who had been pretending to be by her side for more than a year and even hid cameras in the rental house has not appeared since he and the gangsters kidnapped her at the station.
Chen Qing asked Li Yao to put away her phone, then suddenly pulled her down and stared into her eyes. "Jiang Jingyan, remember this name. If anything happens to him, your parents will surely die. He's the only one who can give your parents a legitimate and reasonable trial. Don't put your hopes on anyone else. If you understand, keep an eye out for any news about him for me. Tell me if there's anything going on."
Li Yao was stunned for two or three seconds, then nodded hurriedly.
"Yaoyao." The familiar yet unfamiliar name stirred up many ripples in my mind.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she tried hard to see Chen Qing's expression. The image of her former 'Sister Qing' washed away the past seven years of wandering.
"I don't blame you. Even if my parents were still alive, they wouldn't blame you. They wouldn't want you to repeat the same mistakes and become an orphan like me."
A thick fog enveloped the two girls whose fates overlapped many years later. In a trance, Chen Qing seemed to see herself as a child.
It was the fear of facing the future and the uncertainty of whether one's parents were alive or dead.
She slowly put down Li Yao's hand, her voice steady and powerful, "The law is ruthless, and there are people who are upholding justice for you and me. No one who shouldn't die will die. The mistakes we made back then have already caused a disaster. Don't let it happen again and again."
The clear sky after the rain only takes a moment.
Chen Qing asked his bodyguard to take Li Yao away, and he walked back to the East Courtyard following the light from the gaps in the forest.
The nanny was worried that she couldn't handle it, so she asked the doctor to wait in the hall to take her pulse.
"Young Master Xiao's wedding is scheduled for the 20th of next month." The nanny tried to cheer her up with the happy event. "By then, you'll be almost three months pregnant, and the baby will be well-placed. Young Master Jiang will definitely take you to the wedding, and we'll have a great time!"
Chen Qing responded vaguely. You Meng had just suffered a miscarriage, and Tang Xiaoming was absolutely unwilling to follow through with the arranged marriage. Rather than causing a big uproar and causing the Guan family to cancel the engagement, it would be better to appease them first and find other reasons to postpone it. This result was probably the maximum Jiang Jingyan could achieve for Tang Xiaoming and You Meng.
She showed no emotion on the surface, but was thinking about Jiang Jingyan's current predicament.
Suspended pending investigation, intentionally causing trouble.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that someone arranged it step by step. First, they weakened his power, and then used public opinion to make him unable to defend himself. Even if the Meng Party incident is over, these stains will accompany him for the rest of his life.
Last time in Wuhen Village, she noticed something was wrong with Yan Baiqing. She couldn't tell how much father-son love there was between him and Meng Hongwen, but his hatred had never stopped in the past thirty years. He wanted to see Meng Hongwen doomed with his own eyes, and there was no such thing as him trying to hinder and delay the process. She couldn't think of anything else that could make him willing to go through fire and water and confuse the public at this time, except that he was forced to do so.
Since Meng Hongwen cannot suppress Jiang Jingyan openly, Yan Baiqing will naturally do what he cannot do.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing stopped.
The nanny saw that her face was pale and thought she was not feeling well, so she hurriedly called someone over.
"I'm fine." Chen Qing restrained himself, his fists trembling uncontrollably.
If Qi Kai had a change of heart and produced the secretly filmed video to prove that the landlord's man had attempted rape, how could he have planned the kidnapping afterwards?
She blamed Tao Siran for what happened that day without giving it much thought. Furthermore, Yan Baiqing was injured while saving her, and was not allowed to make it public afterwards. She naturally assumed that the Yan family did not want to break off relations with the Tao family...
The nanny and the doctor rushed into the hall. Chen Qing interrupted them, "Is the old man resting? Can I see him?"
"My aunt is home. The old man is having a little free time. He went out for tea with friends this afternoon and hasn't come back yet." The nanny carefully helped her sit down. "Oh, you can't get up or sit down so suddenly now. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
"Aunt?"
"Yes, since you belong to Mr. Jiang, just follow him and call me Auntie."
Chen Qing was anxious, "Can you take me to see my aunt?"
As soon as the words fell, an old lady in her seventies stepped over the threshold and said, "No need, I came here myself."
Her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of Old Master Tang, with a bright gaze and the temperament of a beauty that has not been defeated by time.
Chen Qing stood up by holding onto the corner of the table and bowed obediently, "Aunt."
"Qing'er, right?" Grandma smiled and smoothed her gray curly hair. "Jingyan introduced her to me. Um—it's Shuiling. Are you used to her at home?"
"Have you met him?" Chen Qing pursed his lips in annoyance as he finished speaking.
There was a change in the engagement between Tang Xiaoming and the Guan family. As the head of the family, the aunt had to step forward and of course she met Jiang Jingyan.
The aunt didn't care and sat down to ask the doctor about Chen Qing's physical condition.
After learning that nothing serious was happening, she took the teacup to moisten her throat and asked, "Qing'er, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Jiang Jingyan..." Chen Qing hesitated for a moment. Now she was living under someone else's roof. Although You Meng was not recognized by the Tang family, the child in her belly was precious. If such a precious baby was lost for her, it would be too ignorant for her to disobey their arrangements.
So, she paused and changed the subject, "Has he...lost weight?"
"You've worked so hard day and night, you've lost a lot of weight." The old aunt saw through her thoughts but didn't expose her. She smiled and comforted her, "Jingyan is strong and healthy. When Xiao'er was a child, he got into trouble and was beaten and punished. Jingyan could handle most of it. You've known him for a long time, so you should understand that as long as he doesn't get distracted, he can withstand those changes. Don't worry."
Chen Qing's heart felt like it was being torn apart, and she held back her tears. "Well, my aunt is in charge of the Tang family, and Mr. Xiao's wedding is coming soon, so she should have a lot of things to do. If you like it, I can help with the opera troupe. Otherwise, I'd feel embarrassed to stay idle at home."
The aunt smiled and pulled her hand, "Jingyan said you were well-behaved and easy to deal with. I didn't believe it at first. You are really a girl raised by Mr. Jiang, not arrogant."
She lowered her eyes, and the impulse she had just felt gradually subsided.
"Jingyan has already boasted to me about your excellent piano playing. The troupe will be at our house tomorrow. If you're bored, you can go and have a look. It will be a great opportunity for me to assess the level of these people. Oh, one thing, it's such a long way to go, with all the climbing and walking. We can't do it like we did today."
Chen Qing nodded obediently.
As she was sending her aunt out, she endured it again and again, gently pulling at her aunt's sleeve, "Don't be too sad about the child. Young Master Xiao looks easy to talk to, but he has a quick temper. I'm afraid he'll get angry and I haven't had the chance to comfort him. Please let me call him when you have time. The most important thing is to avoid causing any more trouble in front of the Guan family."
The aunt stroked the hair beside her ear with relief, "You are so aware at your age. Xiao'er is so old, but he is still emotional."
"To be honest, I have a classmate who once tried to do something inappropriate to me. Jing Yan was furious and probably did it without telling me, which led to the kidnapping incident. It was his senior brother who happened to pass by and saved me. This time, the Tang family wants to investigate, so they should step in and not let Young Master Xiao get away with his own little pleasure."
"Classmate, kidnapping? Do you remember how badly Jingyan hurt him?"
Chen Qing pondered, "The day he tied me up... he seemed to have gauze wrapped around his ears."
"You said that kid from the Yan family passed by and saved you? Were the kidnappers caught later?"
"Mr. Yan didn't ask me to call the police."
As expected of the head of the family, the aunt immediately grasped the key point and called the head nanny, "Take good care of Qing'er. I'm entertaining guests at the old house tonight. Please keep an eye on the yard."
Chen Qing felt relieved.
Jiang Jingyan was only concerned with the Chen family's case and Yan Baiqing at the moment, and Qi Kai jumped out to create public opinion. If it weren't for the Tang family's aunt stepping in from behind, he would definitely have been in a bad mood.
Chen Qing was completely in the dark about the outside world and could only take a gamble. It just so happened that the Tang family needed an opportunity to deal with the Yan family to relieve their hatred, thus having the best of both worlds.
