Chapter 3 I took the medicine
Jiang Jingyan lowered his eyes and saw her furry hair.
Chen Qing has a charming face. Even after she grew up, her every frown and smile showed her charm. However, her age was too young, and her eyes were young and clear without any experience in the world. The indescribable contrast was enough to make men unable to stop.
At this moment, she lowered her head, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and looked charming yet pitiful.
The year he met her at Qingyoufuyuan, Jiang Jingyan attended the donation meeting as a sponsor.
Chen Qing performed the low, mournful erhu piece "Lovesickness" on stage. Her erhu skills, acquired through childhood training at age seven, were a virtue. Before her parents passed away, the Chen family, though not particularly wealthy, was well-off. Their daughter was pampered with a wide range of educational resources, and even after entering the orphanage, she remained well-off, attracting the attention of all the sponsors present.
After the donation meeting, Qingyou Fuyuan organized a dinner. He used the excuse of being drunk to go back to his hotel room to rest. In the middle of the night, Chen Qing knocked on his door and asked him shiveringly if he wanted to listen to another song.
At that time, Jiang Jingyan's status was not so high and unattainable, and no one thought of hiding the dirty things happening in Qingyoufu Garden from him.
So, he secretly asked Lian Zhuo to call a female subordinate to accompany him, and learned about the corruption inside the welfare home from the little girl.
The clues were half collected and not thoroughly investigated when the Qingyoufuyuan incident was exposed. Rectification was carried out within half a year, the people involved were imprisoned, and a new deputy director was replaced.
But Jiang Jingyan was worried about Chen Qing going back, so he arranged for her to study outside the province.
For six years, there has been no transgression.
Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke the silence.
He leaned over, retrieved his phone and answered it.
In just a moment, Chen Qing's back was wet with cold sweat, and he held on to the edge of the table, barely able to stand steady.
The huge living and dining room was silent, and the voice on the other end of the phone fell into her ears.
It was Mrs. Chiang, a well-known philanthropist in the province. It was she who set up the scholarship fund project at the university where Chen Qingnian attended.
"Miss Tao said you left her in a hurry. What happened?"
The man frowned slightly, "Did she tell you that?"
"No matter what, I asked you to go on a date with that girl for only two hours, and it ended like that."
"I have official business."
Chen Qing's eyelids twitched slightly, his muscles and bones tensed up, his breathing slowed down, and his presence was reduced.
When she was in the mall, she saw a girl standing next to Jiang Jingyan. From a distance, she could tell that she looked mature and noble.
The Jiang family is probably arranging a blind date for him. A marriage between two powerful families is the only way forward.
"Official business?" Mrs. Jiang was clearly unconvinced, her voice rising sharply. "You'll officially take up your position at Huasheng Group at the end of the month. What kind of official business could you possibly have at this critical juncture?"
"Are you interrogating me?"
He has always been patient and has a bad temper.
Mrs. Jiang choked and changed the subject, "When will you meet Miss Tao again?"
"You decide."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
His gaze shifted back to Chen Qing.
"Go take a shower." He said in a firm and cold tone, "Contact Lian Zhuo tomorrow and have him move the things back."
"No, I've paid three months' rent there."
"I'll have Lian Zhuo transfer the money to your card. This apartment is yours. Talk to him about the time to complete the transfer. Also, quit your part-time job."
"I don't want it."
"Chen Qing."
She trembled at the sudden sound and slowly raised her head.
Jiang Jingyan's face was gloomy and serious. "Don't argue with me."
Since this man came into her life, he rarely acted so arrogantly.
Having known him for so long, she thought she understood him, but everything was overturned in just one month.
That night, Jiang Jingyan was very passionate. He sucked and bit her flesh, and rubbed her almost as if it was a punishment. The next day, he looked cold again. He did not show up for more than half a month, and did not leave a single word. This aroused her rebellious heart, and she insisted on moving out.
She knew the two faces of the man in bed and out of bed, and she couldn't avoid the heartache.
Chen Qing looked straight at him, "Is the Miss Tao who is traveling with you tonight your girlfriend?"
She didn't know where she got the courage from, she gave up the honorific title, forgot her own identity, and threw out the question.
The man's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes expressionless, "Why are you asking this?"
Chen Qing lowered his eyes when he heard this, "I don't want the house, and I won't accept the money. Don't bother me anymore."
"reason."
Her chest felt heavy, her voice hoarse, "Before, I was doing charity, but now I am supporting you."
The man was silent.
The calmer the atmosphere, the more confused Chen Qing became.
She picked up the trash on the table, held it in her hand, walked past him and headed towards the entrance.
Holding the door handle, she turned back and said, "I took medicine after that night. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I won't threaten you with that incident."
There was a strong sense of hostility in Jiang Jingyan's eyes.
Chen Qing didn't notice and added with his head down, "You don't have to compensate me for this."
She spoke very quickly, and the next second she was out the door, bumping into Lian Zhuo head-on.
"Ms. Chen."
The collision made her face tremble, and the pain from the slap surged up in waves.
Chen Qing groaned, said hello vaguely, and rushed to the elevator.
Lian Zhuo didn't close the door and half stepped over the threshold. "Mr. Jiang, do you want me to...send Miss Chen off?"
He wanted to say "go after her", but Jiang Jingyan looked unhappy and he was afraid that they might have had a quarrel.
"No need." The man suddenly pulled out the hem of his shirt with a fierce and violent movement.
Lian Zhuo looked out of his peripheral vision and hesitated, "It's early morning now, and Miss Chen doesn't seem to have changed into thick clothes..."
There was dead silence.
Jiang Jingyan stood beside the stage, poured himself a full glass of wine, and drank it down with his head tilted back.
A burning sensation slid across his throat, irritating him so much that he squinted his eyes. "Ignore her."
The elevator dinged as it reached the 20th floor. Then, Jiang Jingyan's slightly hoarse voice uttered from the half-open door, "Miss Tao's gift..."
The door was closed tightly, so I didn't hear the second half of the sentence.
Chen Qing pressed the first floor button and pulled her collar tightly. Her internal organs felt heavy as she felt weightless in the elevator.
