Chapter 57 Congratulations to you two
Chen Qing was very scared.
She turned off all the lights, took her cell phone, gripped the knife handle, and hid behind the clothes rack in the cloakroom.
I want to act like no one is home.
Qi Kai's ferocious roar lingered in her mind. She curled up, buried her head between her knees and forced herself to stay calm.
In the early morning, there was a faint rustling sound.
Chen Qing took a deep breath and stared at the gap in front of him.
After a while, the sound reached outside the door.
She held the knife in front of her and concentrated her mind.
The door lock turned, "Miss Chen?"
Chen Qing was too nervous to recognize the voice for a moment. The hairs on his body stood up and every muscle was tense.
The knocking continued, "Ms. Chen, are you in there? It's me."
It’s Lian Zhuo.
She gasped for breath and collapsed on the ground.
Crawl to the door and unlock it.
Light from outside streamed in. Lian Zhuo helped her up and explained, "Mr. Jiang is at home, and Mr. Jiang can't get away."
Chen Qing hummed, his body covered in sweat.
That night, Lian Zhuo stayed in the living room all night.
The next morning, Jiang Jingyan did not show up.
After the matter with Yan Baiqing came to an end, Chen Qing decided to return to school.
As she unloaded the suitcases, she glanced at them unconsciously.
The movement suddenly froze.
Lian Zhuo quickly closed the trunk to block the view. "You are at school. If you need anything, you can contact me. Don't leave the school easily."
Chen Qing curled his lips and said, "Thank you, Secretary Lian. I won't bother you anymore in the future."
Lian Zhuo opened his mouth but still said nothing.
He couldn't stay for too long and drove away.
What Chen Qing saw was the draft of the betrothal letter from the Jiang family.
…
Chen Qing felt lost the whole morning.
Yuan Hui was curious about her and Yan Baiqing's relationship, so she accompanied her to the elective course and wanted to gossip a little.
Seeing her like this, he asked her, "Did you have a fight with Mr. Yan?"
Chen Qing came back to his senses and glanced at the podium, "No."
"Look in the mirror!" Yuan Hui hid behind a book. "Tell me, is Mr. Yan a mean person in private?"
"He and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"Not sure yet? No way, Mr. Yan is so slow..."
Chen Qing absentmindedly scribbled on his notes, "I can't explain it to you clearly."
"and you--"
The bell for the end of get out of class interrupted Yuan Hui's questioning.
As Chen Qing was packing up and preparing to return to the dormitory, several male classmates passed by and mocked him in a low voice, "Qi Kai, you're still dreaming! He already has a sponsor!"
She was upset and put the book down and shot back, "No wonder you licked the rich woman for two months and she didn't give you a chance to perform officially. You spent all your time gossiping about other people. If you want to sell your ass, you should work harder yourself."
The boy's sore spot was touched, his face flushed red, and he became angry and said, "You fucking——"
"Chen Qing." The department head stood at the back door, his eyes scanning, "Come see me."
The boys left in disappointment.
Yuan Hui put her arm around Chen Qing's shoulder and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
She shook her head.
The department head took her to the small auditorium, where a woman wearing sunglasses was sitting in the corner.
"Mrs. Yan?" Chen Qing was surprised and bowed to greet him. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Madam Yan sat upright, looking graceful and dignified. "Miss Chen, you have worked hard to take care of Bai Qing. I didn't have time yesterday and forgot to prepare a gift."
Chen Qing waved his hands in panic, "No need, Mr. Yan saved me, it's my duty to take care of him."
"Come shopping with me." Madam Yan didn't give her any room to refuse and stood up and walked out. "Bai Qing is a man, so it's just right. Can you help me choose some clothes?"
There were no classes in the afternoon, and the Yan family did not pursue the matter of Chen Qing causing Yan Baiqing to be injured. She thought that it would be considered as an apology.
Mrs. Yan asked the driver to drive to the China World Trade Center.
Chen Qing had a mask in her bag and put it on when she got off the bus.
Avoid running into former part-time colleagues.
Mrs. Yan had a purpose for this trip, so in the VIP reception room, the salesgirl prepared several sets of clothes she had ordered in advance.
It was Chen Qing's turn to give her opinion. She asked cautiously, "What event are you attending?"
"Engagement party."
"Then I think—"
"He's Bai Qing's junior fellow apprentice." Madam Yan took a sip of tea. "Jing Yan, you should know him too. The date is set for the 26th."
Chen Qing's heart sank, but he remained polite. "...I think this one is more suitable."
Madam Yan looked at it carefully and said, "You have a good eye."
"You have good taste."
She smiled, "Miss Chen is pretty and has a clever tongue."
Chen Qing also smiled, clasped his hands together, and rubbed his knuckles to hide his emotions.
The betrothal gift has been prepared, and Madam Yan attaches so much importance to it.
Jiang Jingyan's engagement is probably a foregone conclusion.
No wonder…
She was being chased by a car last night and didn't even get a phone call.
But why does he care so much about her relationship with Yan Baiqing? Since he wants to get on the right track, why should he interfere with her?
Mrs. Yan bought what she needed and took Chen Qing to pick out a brooch.
"Which one do you like?"
Chen Qing briefly pulled himself out of his emotions and politely declined, "Mrs. Yan, you're too polite. I'll help Bai Qing—"
"Aunt Yan!" a female voice interrupted.
Chen Qing paused.
Slowly raise your head.
On the other side of the display stand were Tao Siran and Jiang Jingyan.
Tao Siran saw her and his smile deepened, "Chen Qing is here too."
Jiang Jingyan frowned slightly and followed her closer.
After two or three seconds, he looked away again and nodded, "Mrs. Yan."
Tao Siran greeted Mrs. Yan and joked about the previous verbal dispute with Yan Baiqing. A few words made Mrs. Yan smile.
This is her advantage. No matter what she does in private, she is always decent and dignified in social occasions with other ladies, and she always flatters them just the right amount.
Chen Qing didn't know where to look. While Madam Yan was finishing a topic, he interrupted her softly, "Madam Yan, I have to go back to school first."
Tao Siran was extremely friendly, as if the fight in the teahouse had never happened. "Chen Qing, Madam Yan said you have good taste. Can you help me pick out a pair of shoes? Jing Yan is busy and has been dealing with work all the way here."
Although it was clearly a complaint, it had a coquettish tone to it.
It's the atmosphere of a couple in love.
Chen Qing's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he put them behind his back, "I still have classes."
Mrs. Yan was puzzled. "I heard your department head say no?"
"Qing'er, are you still blaming me?" Tao Siran said softly, "I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Don't hit someone who smiles at you, Chen Qing is in a difficult situation.
Jiang Jingyan smiled faintly, "I will help you choose carefully, no need to trouble outsiders."
outsider…
Chen Qing felt a dull pain in his chest.
Tao Siran went to hold Jiang Jingyan's arm, "How can Chen Qing be an outsider? I like her very much. By the way, Qing'er, Jingyan and I are getting engaged on the 26th. Come and play with Mr. Yan then!"
Chen Qing's internal organs were twisted.
It twisted her so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Jingyan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Madam Yan cleared her throat and said, "I have something else to do. You guys go shopping."
Chen Qing wanted to leave with her. His eyes fell between the two people in front of him, his throat dry. "I'm leaving first too."
"Chen Qing!" Tao Siran held her, his eyes meaningful, "Will you come to the engagement party?"
She tilted her head and said calmly, "Congratulations in advance, both of you."
There was a wave of fear in Jiang Jingyan's eyes.
