Chapter 33 Can She Hold My Woman? (10 Diamonds + More)
The man knew that Mr. Jiang had a fickle temper, but this was clearly a major turning point in the case, so why... was his expression still so grim...
The room was dead silent, and he watched nervously from the corner of his eye.
After a long time, Jiang Jingyan waved his hand.
The man hurriedly left as if he had been pardoned.
Lian Zhuo put away the documents on the table and hesitated to speak.
When he went to the rental house to help Chen Qing move his luggage, he searched it specifically and visited the surrounding neighbors one by one, but found nothing wrong.
As a result, Yan Baiqing actually had a witness.
This is not the key point. The key point is that a person like Yan Baiqing would personally meet with the district bureau for this matter.
Jiang Jingyan took off his glasses and rubbed his brow. "The afternoon meeting with Huasheng executives will be postponed to next week."
"yes."
After the phone stopped vibrating, there was no more movement.
He looked at the missed call and was about to call back when Mrs. Chiang called and asked him to return to the Chiang family.
Jiang Zhongyi will finish his business trip tomorrow, and Mrs. Jiang probably has something to tell her.
As the car pulled into the garage, Lian Zhuo glanced out the window and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is the Tao family's car."
Jiang Jingyan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with intense irritation.
As I entered the door, I saw the nanny and servants coming in and out, busy preparing dinner.
Tao Siran stood beside Mrs. Jiang, looking at something with her.
"How long have you been here?"
Tao Siran looked up at the sound and smiled, "Just arrived."
Mrs. Jiang pointed to the velvet box on the table and said, "Jingyan, please help me choose a pair of earrings."
Jiang Jingyan took off his coat and pointed casually.
"Perfunctory, just like your father!" Mrs. Jiang complained.
He didn't care and crossed his legs. "You called me back just to pick out earrings?"
"Of course not. Si Ran came to your house to see you, but I couldn't bear to disturb you from work, so she chatted with me. I invited her to have dinner with me."
The nanny came to serve tea, Jiang Jingyan took it and lifted the tea lid from time to time.
Tao Siyan followed him with his eyes, "My father's birthday is at the end of the month, and my mother said the invitations won't be sent out until a week before, so I came early."
Jiang Jingyan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, without looking up, "Don't you have something to talk to me about?"
"It's just an excuse." Tao Siran said with a hint of coquettishness, "Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"
She used to be rather reserved, but after what happened last night, she thought she had secured her position as Mr. Jiang's girlfriend, so she became more proactive.
Mrs. Jiang joked, "Si Ran is more generous than you. He says whatever he wants to say. This is what love is all about!"
"Who said we were in love?"
Tao Siran's smile froze at the corner of his lips.
Jiang Jingyan blew away the hot air and slowly put down the teacup, "Si Ran, did you tell my mother about this?"
Mrs. Jiang frowned, "What are you talking about?"
"What happened last night—"
"What happened last night," Mrs. Jiang interrupted him, "was just a misunderstanding. Si Ran explained it to me clearly. Do you really want to quarrel with Si Ran over this?"
Jiang Jingyan loosened his collar, raised his head and relaxed his shoulders and neck.
Tao Siran has been in the circle of ladies and wives since she was a child. Her mother took her to social occasions and taught her how to establish her image and please others. She was one of the most ladylike ladies among the officials.
It’s no wonder that Madame Chiang was ‘conquered’.
Even so, he still reminded, "What were your plans last night?"
"We should avoid suspicion in public, but what about private matters? He's your senior. If he really turns against you because of a female student, the Yan family won't agree."
"It's hard to say. Which man wouldn't feel bad when his woman is bullied?"
"You know all this." Mrs. Jiang laughed and came to her senses.
She stared at Jiang Jingyan, as if she saw through something.
But Tao Siran was there, so she controlled herself.
After dinner, the Tao family left.
Mrs. Jiang went straight to Jiang Jingyan's bedroom and said straight to the point, "You are so resistant to getting married to the Tao family. Is it because you haven't dealt with the woman you kept yet?"
Jiang Jingyan just took out a cigarette, put it back, and leaned back on the sofa, "Where did you come to that conclusion?"
"What else could it be? Just because she embarrassed Bai Qing?"
"Yan Baiqing is the eldest son of the Yan family. Miss Tao openly offended him. One reason is that the Tao family is behind him, and another possibility is that it's because of the Jiang family. I've only known her for a month and have met her a few times, and she's already starting to implicate me and give me excuses to talk about me. What about the future? You thought it through last night, so why are you so confused today?"
"Come on, the eldest son of the Yan family is of noble status, so the daughter of the Tao family is inferior?" Mrs. Jiang sneered, "Si Ran just said the wrong thing, and you helped her in front of her, and now you put such a big accusation on her."
Jiang Jingyan put down the lighter and said, "I am helping the Tao family. Uncle Tao is also my father's colleague. It has nothing to do with her."
"I won't talk to you about this. Just tell me when it will be made public."
Mrs. Chiang was aggressive.
The atmosphere gradually became extremely cold.
After a long while, Jiang Jingyan squeezed the cigarette box vigorously and said in a nonchalant tone, "It seems that you are worried about your future."
"At the end of the month, Lao Tao will have his birthday. You know what to do."
He didn't respond.
Mrs. Jiang did not dare to push too hard. No one knows a son better than his mother. If she ignored Jiang Jingyan's feelings, it would inevitably cause estrangement between mother and son. Moreover, this son has always been righteous and always keeps his word. Maybe her actions would backfire.
"If you think it's too fast, then we can spend some more time together." Mrs. Jiang finally compromised and pulled a chair over to sit down. "Si Ran is considerate and sensible. She won't mind, but you can't take advantage of this and do whatever you want. If you really keep someone outside, you have to be careful about the limits."
He crossed his legs and put them on the edge of the table, arrogant and uninhibited, "Why, Miss Tao, no matter how reasonable you are, if I marry her, will she tolerate my woman?"
Mrs. Jiang stopped smiling.
Jiang Jingyan brushed off his trouser legs and said vaguely, "It's just a joke. I get it. You can take a rest."
…
After leaving the Jiang family, Tao Siran drove around to the university town.
The driver parked the car and asked, "Isn't that female student Mr. Yan's? What else do you want to see?"
At this time, there were groups of students at the school gate, all heading in the same direction.
Tao Siran looked over there without saying a word.
Jiang Jingyan did not protect Chen Qing last night, but Yan Baiqing and her did not seem to have that kind of relationship.
Something is wrong.
"The approval for the charity concert must have been obtained from Yan Baiqing, right?"
The driver thought for a moment and nodded, "If Mr. Yan takes office, that's it."
"We'll see when the time comes."
"What are you looking at?"
Tao Siran leaned against the car window with his chin in his hand. "Look at the attitudes of Mr. Yan and Mr. Jiang."
The driver didn't understand.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
He answered the call, hung up half a minute later, and reported with his head tilted, "Mr. Yan went to the district police station to investigate a case today."
"What's it about?"
"A female student was molested and accused the other party of attempted rape. It was originally not allowed, but it was reopened today."
Tao Siran's smile deepened. "Mr. Yan's female student is quite capable of causing trouble."
The driver said nothing.
There were fewer people at the school gate, so she rolled up the car window and said, "I'm useful to find that scumbag who molested female students."
