Chapter 91 You take care of your wife, I take care of mine
Mrs. Luo only gave Chen Qing one week of rest.
When it came to going to another province, she hesitated and couldn't bring herself to speak.
The relationship between her and Jiang Jingyan was complicated and confusing. Such a huge change had occurred in a short period of time. She didn't dare to imagine what Mrs. Luo's attitude was.
After lunch, Chen Qing received a call from Yan Baiqing.
"There's an ancient town opening soon in the East District, and the tourist area needs erhu performers. Is Qing'er interested?"
"Is it a commercial performance invitation, or is Mr. Yan using a backdoor?"
He smiled, "It's all right."
"I might not be in the city these few days." Chen Qing was a little embarrassed. It was difficult for her to refuse others, and Yan Baiqing offered her a helping hand many times, which offended him and made him seem ungrateful.
So, she thought for a moment and added, "When I come back, if I can make it in time, I can go and try."
Yan Baiqing had just come out of the municipal building and paused when he heard this. "Are you going to look for Jingyan?"
She didn't say anything.
Mrs. Luo came over at this time and reminded softly, "The car sent by Mr. Jiang has arrived."
The voice came into the receiver, and Yan Baiqing said calmly, "Since you have other arrangements, let's do it next time."
He hung up.
Chen Qing looked at Mrs. Luo awkwardly, speechless for a long time.
Mrs. Luo slung her purse over her shoulder. "Come back on time in a week. Director Zhang stood me up once. I can't be so negligent again."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to meet some old friends. Before you join the association, you need to take care of some relationships." She stroked Chen Qing's hair. "Mr. Jiang is going to work and won't be able to take care of you when he's busy. Take care of yourself. If you have anything, please contact me and your Uncle Luo in time."
Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and observed her expression, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Mrs. Luo adjusted her collar and smiled. "You've grown up now and have your own ideas. I won't interfere."
In reality, her concerns had never lessened. If Jiang Jingyan and Chen Qing's relationship became public, and if it were to be investigated further, it would inevitably impact public opinion within the Luo family. Old Luo was taking precautions and had already begun emigrating, providing a way out if the situation became unmanageable. However, Chen Qing, young as she was, had been extremely cautious and ingratiating since entering the Luo family. From her academic performance to her manners, she outdid herself from the daughters of aristocratic families, fearing she would bring shame to the Luo family. Mrs. Luo didn't want to burden her with unnecessary worries at this time; she simply hoped this relationship wouldn't become a bad one.
It is normal for a girl to fall in love for the first time, and it is also the most unforgettable, especially when the first person she meets is a man like Jiang Jingyan.
The book says that love is something that only the best of people can afford.
There is also a saying that to withdraw from love neatly is something that only the best of people can do without hurting the foundation.
Chen Qing simply packed his luggage and went downstairs.
Before Jiang Jingyan left, he left his driver behind in case she needed a car.
Before entering the airport highway, Chen Qing received a call from Mrs. Jiang.
"Is Jingyan with you?"
She was stunned, "No."
"Don't help him hide it from me." Mrs. Jiang was completely unconvinced. "He went out of the province as a punishment. He can't be as free as before, and he can't meet you."
Chen Qing understood.
This wasn't about questioning Jiang Jingyan, this was about getting the news and stopping her halfway.
"I understand." Chen Qing pursed her lips.
After the call ended, she leaned back in her seat unhappily. "I have something urgent to do. Please take me home. I'll talk to Mr. Jiang."
The driver said nothing, glanced in the rearview mirror, and turned.
Chen Qing lowered his eyelids and prepared to think of a suitable reason to reply to Jiang Jingyan.
It has to be reasonable, and the key is to make him have no doubts.
She sent a message to Yuan Hui, and a while later, the phone rang.
After a rustling sound, the voice on the other end suddenly became clearer. "Aren't you not in the city?"
"How do you know?"
"The city's cultural and tourism unit is having an event, and the department head has retained a few students who participated in the charity performance. I ran into Mr. Yan just before the meeting, and he told the department head about it."
Chen Qing's eyelids twitched. Oh no.
Before she could finish her instructions, Yuan Hui raised her voice, "Mr. Yan! Are you leaving? — Hello, Dean! Chen Qing hasn't left yet. She asked me to introduce her to commercial performances in the city."
Yan Baiqing must have been some distance away. Chen Qing didn't hear him speak, but he felt the side of his face pressing against the phone screen was burning hot.
I had just refused, but then I was spotted taking part in a commercial performance.
It's so embarrassing.
"Yuan Hui." She was sweating anxiously, "Don't—"
"The director is asking, can you come over now?"
Chen Qing felt like he was being held over a fire, not knowing how to explain to her.
But then I thought, it was the department head who spoke after all, so I might as well just pretend that Yan Baiqing’s call didn’t happen.
So I made up my mind and agreed.
Chen Qing hurriedly sent messages to Jiang Jingyan, but received no reply for three or five messages.
She dialed the number, but the call was not connected.
"Brother Zhang." She looked up and found that the road ahead was unfamiliar. Her heart skipped a beat. "Where are you taking me? Aren't we going home?"
"Mr. Jiang will explain the situation to you."
"He's back?"
Chen Qing sat up straight by holding onto the chair.
The car stopped at a courtyard house in the suburbs, with a plaque hanging on the door: Bamboo Pavilion Tea Garden.
The driver led her into the compartment and said, "Please sit here for a while. Mr. Jiang is meeting a guest next door."
Chen Qing's heart was pounding.
On the one hand, she was worried that Mrs. Jiang would find out and think she was lying; on the other hand, she didn't know how to bring up the commercial performance with Jiang Jingyan.
She was the one who brought it up to Yuan Hui, and the department head was there when she called. She really couldn't bring herself to refuse now.
I thought that if Yuan Hui had a way, she could tell Jiang Jingyan that she was helping a classmate and it would be a natural thing for her to stay in the city. Who would have thought that he would come back at this time.
Chen Qing's heart was in turmoil.
On the other side, Jiang Jingyan saw Jiang Zhongyi off through the back door.
"Please be careful," he said seriously. "Now that we've confirmed who in the research team is Yan Weilan's spy, even though she hasn't caused any more trouble, there's no telling what she might be planning."
Jiang Zhongyi got into the car and said, "Don't worry, Hua Xinsi, think about it. We're acting out this drama behind your mother's back. How are we going to explain it if we get caught? She's so angry about your decision to go to another province that she's got a stomachache and a headache, and I'm hiding the truth. This is called 'collusion'."
"Then you should explain it yourself. You take care of your wife, and I'll take care of mine."
Jiang Zhongyi laughed angrily, rolled up the car window and left.
The man stopped for a moment, then turned and went into the yard.
Lian Zhuo followed closely, reporting, "The HR director of the Huasheng branch has contact with the group, but the information was intercepted by our people. Now the people on the board of directors think you are still out of the province. Hurry and fill the gaps in the accounts."
"Hold still."
"I understand. And—" He was embarrassed, "Your mother's people were also captured."
Jiang Jingyan laughed out loud, "Send it back to her."
"Mr. Yan didn't place any personnel around you, but most of Ji Mingyin's men withdrew this morning."
He nodded calmly, pushed open the door of the box and stepped in.
Chen Qing shuddered and instinctively hid his phone.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Jingyan unbuttoned his coat and his eyes fell on her face.
"No...why are you back?"
"Unhappy?" He moved closer, pressed against her body, his lips barely touching her ear, almost kissing her.
"Is it okay for you to come back like this?"
"Who dares to say no?"
"Huasheng..." He began to suck on the tender flesh on Chen Qing's neck, disturbing Chen Qing's mind. "Now is a sensitive period. You just went there yesterday. If you come back today, they will cause trouble for you."
Jiang Jingyan concentrated on kissing her and didn't say anything else.
Suddenly, the cell phone behind Chen Qing's back buzzed.
He happened to glance over and saw Yan Baiqing on the screen.
