Chapter 46 You take care of yours, I take care of mine
Chen Qing instinctively wanted to hide, but Jiang Jingyan refused to let go.
He had his back to the screen, his body as majestic and powerful as a mountain, covering her tightly.
"Jiang Jingyan..." Chen Qing struggled and pushed, knocking over the teacup on the table.
The man kissed her more domineeringly and forcefully than usual.
Desire surged in his half-closed eyes, and the more he resisted, the stronger it became.
The conversation outside the screen did not stop. Chen Qing glanced at the half-person-wide gap nervously and clenched his teeth.
"Mrs. Jiang, are you free today? I was just looking for an opportunity to talk to you about your charity project."
"Preparations have already begun. Madam Tao is also participating this time. If Madam Feng is interested, we can cooperate next time."
"Oh, Mrs. Tao rarely shows up for things like this. I heard... Miss Tao and Mr. Jiang are developing a relationship?"
Chen Qing bit down hard, breaking Jiang Jingyan's lower lip.
He frowned slightly, then calmly grabbed her cheek, forcing her to open her mouth and draw the blood in.
Mrs. Jiang replied to the man in a vague way, "I won't meddle in the affairs of the younger generation."
"That's right, that's right. Mr. Jiang is a young man of talent and has excellent vision. If there is really a happy event, we are still waiting to ask for a glass of wine."
"Yours is indispensable!"
One side of the teahouse faces the sun, while the other side faces the shade.
The branches outside the building divide the warm early summer sun, making it look messy and crisscrossed.
Some people talk loudly in the narrow gap of shadows, while others indulge in infidelity in bright corners.
Even when Mrs. Jiang entered the box, Chen Qing's nervousness had not eased at all.
During this time, she was in a daze and was picked up by Jiang Jingyan and placed on his lap.
"You're quite courageous." The man licked his lips, feeling the burning swelling. "You usually talk back to me, but now you dare to bite me."
Chen Qing placed his palms on his waist and abdomen, which was clearly a gesture of rejection, but it seemed as if he was reluctant but also willing.
"Has Mrs. Jiang left?" Her eyes were a little blurry.
Jiang Jingyan rubbed his cheekbone, leaned back in his chair, and said with a playful look, "Go and see for yourself."
Chen Qing pursed her lips and said nothing.
It was clearly intended to embarrass her.
It turned out that Mrs. Jiang had not left yet and had called Jiang Jingyan.
Chen Qing didn't dare to breathe, looking at him, "What should I do?"
Jiang Jingyan held her with one hand and answered the phone with the other.
"Where are you?"
"Outside."
"I'll give you an address."
Chen Qing heard the sound of high heels hitting the floor in the hallway. Then, Mrs. Jiang ordered, "Come here immediately. The Municipal Bureau is questioning Si Ran for some unknown reason. Mrs. Tao fainted from anger."
The music in the teahouse changed at this time, and the sound of the pipa strings came suddenly like a sudden storm.
Mrs. Jiang paused, carefully listening to the voice in the receiver. "Are you in the teahouse?"
Jiang Jingyan suddenly became serious, "Yeah."
Chen Qing's breathing seemed to stop, and he slid down his legs trembling, trying to find a place to hide.
Perhaps due to the urgency of the matter, Mrs. Jiang had no time to ask, "I'll go to Mrs. Tao's place, and you go check what's going on with the Municipal Bureau targeting the Tao family."
Jiang Jingyan remained calm and asked, "Why should I go?"
"Why? That's your Uncle Tao. Even if you dislike Si Ran, you have to save your father's face, right? There are rumors outside that the talks between you and Si Ran have broken down, and our two families have also broken up. If someone takes advantage of the opportunity to take sides and makes a big fuss before your father backs off, the impact will be too serious."
"My father has been honest for decades. Will he allow me to show favoritism?"
Mrs. Jiang raised her voice, "Why do you have so many excuses today? Are you going or not?"
Jiang Jingyan rubbed his brows in annoyance, "Send me the address."
He hung up and threw the phone away. It was stained with water on the table, spinning and swaying until it stopped in front of Chen Qing.
Mrs. Chiang has spoken personally, and there is no way to shirk it.
She looked at the petals scattered on the terrace, her eyes filled with desolation and powerlessness.
The world is as complicated as garbled code, and we can't help but let the wind blow us.
If Jiang Jingyan wants to protect both, it is impossible.
You can only keep one and discard one.
…
Tao Siran accompanied Mrs. Tao to attend her good friend's engagement party.
At this time, in the hotel lounge, Yan Baiqing, three plainclothes officers, and she were holding a three-party meeting.
Tao Siran was more patient than Mrs. Tao and always said he didn't know about any questions.
"I saw a request for help online and provided free legal aid to a certain netizen. I didn't participate in anything else."
She was as proud and calm as ever.
Yan Baiqing clasped his hands in front of him and watched.
The door to the lounge opened, and Jiang Jingyan, with a gloomy face, sat down on the single sofa in the corner. "Everyone, please continue. I'll be listening."
Yan Baiqing's tone was what he expected, and he teased him, "Are you here to support Miss Tao again?"
Jiang Jingyan didn't say anything.
The plainclothes officers looked at each other, feeling that this was a difficult situation.
They explained their purpose again, and Jiang Jingyan suddenly interrupted, "Do you have any evidence?"
"There are witnesses."
"That's easy." He crossed his legs and said indifferently, "Confront him face to face."
Tao Siran's expression changed.
The plainclothes officers also looked embarrassed.
Face to face confrontation, you have to go back to the bureau.
But they didn't dare to take Minister Tao's daughter away.
Yan Baiqing swung the tip of his shoe and squinted his eyes, "What's wrong?"
The plainclothes officer hesitated, and the captain leaned over and said, "Mr. Yan, isn't it a bad idea to take Miss Tao back to the police station..."
Jiang Jingyan fiddled with his phone, "What's wrong with that? Do you think Uncle Tao will protect his daughter?"
The captain's mouth twitched, "That's not what I meant."
"Uncle Tao is an upright man, and he is very strict with himself as an official. He is just cooperating with the investigation. He won't be blamed for such a small matter. Si Ran, what do you think?"
Tao Siran clutched the armrest and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Jing Yan is right."
Jiang Jingyan chuckled, his eyes passed over her and looked at Yan Baiqing, "Let's go through the process."
The engagement banquet officially began, and there were many people and eyes.
The plainclothes officers dispersed and took Tao Siran into the car through the back door.
Yan Baiqing didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He stopped by the car and asked, "What are you planning?"
Jiang Jingyan took out a cigarette and said, "I said, I will cooperate with the investigation."
"You arrived just in time. Someone must have tipped you off. Could it be that this was just to get you to bring Tao Siran to justice?"
"Isn't my senior brother meddling in enough of your business?" He raised his head and exhaled smoke.
Yan Baiqing opened the car door and said, "In that case, you take care of yours and I'll take care of mine."
He left after saying this.
Five minutes later, Lian Zhuo parked his car on the side of the road.
"Mr. Jiang." He tiptoed, half-closed the car door, and stood at the bottom of the steps. "Ms. Chen is asleep."
Jiang Jingyan glanced out the car window and dusted off his cigarette, "Is everything ready over there?"
"It's ready, and the landlord has taken care of it, but he hasn't admitted to having seen Miss Tao yet."
The thin smoke could not hide the man's gloomy face.
Lian Zhuo couldn't understand. "The video is in Mr. Yan's hands. Since he wants to seek justice for Miss Chen, why hasn't he produced it yet? What is he waiting for?"
Jiang Jingyan took a deep breath, and two deep grooves appeared on his cheeks.
He extinguished his cigarette, his tone full of chill, "Wait for Chen Qing."
