Leng Yan, who had just reached the second floor, stopped and did not appear at that moment to avoid embarrassing Jing Chi. After all, he had lived in the Jing family for so many years and this situation was all too common for him.
But there must be a reason why Aunt Jing suddenly got so angry at Jing Chi.
In the study, Jing Chi stood calmly and composed, gazing gently at his mother.
"How long has it been? Why hasn't the police station figured out the cause of the restaurant poisoning yet? Have you asked them?" Aunt Jing pressed.
"The police station is doing its best to investigate this matter, so we can't rush it," Jing Chi replied matter-of-factly.
"No rush? You know what the consequences would be if such a big restaurant closed down."
The business belongs to the Jing family, and the least popular thing to do is to serve cold dishes.
“You’ve been wanting to take Leng Yan’s power for a long time, so why not take this opportunity to kick Leng Yan out?” Jing Chi tentatively offered his suggestion.
Aunt Jing smiled coldly: "Jing Chi, your mother called you back to inherit the entire Jing family, not so you could kick Leng Yan out."
It's really interesting. She clearly wants to find an opportunity to kick Leng Yan out, but now she's pretending to protect him.
Checks and balances!
She wanted to use the cold banquet to restrain and control herself.
"I understand. I'll go to the police station tomorrow and ask them to step up their efforts and close the case as soon as possible."
“If we can’t find anything, then we should announce to the public that it’s all a misunderstanding, has nothing to do with the restaurant, and that it was Tang Long’s rival who poisoned the restaurant.” Aunt Jing sat down.
"The police station won't allow this explanation, and the newspaper can't fabricate things. Let's wait until the case is thoroughly investigated."
After speaking, Jing Chi turned and walked out of the study, returning to his bedroom.
After everything had been quiet for a long time, Leng Yan walked straight to the study door and knocked.
"Come in."
Leng Yan pushed open the door and stood still: "Aunt Jing."
"You're here? Sit down. I'll have Xiao Hui pour you a glass of water." Aunt Jing's attitude had changed.
Leng Yan's deep eyes remained calm. He knew all too well Aunt Jing's methods. She wanted to use him to control Jing Chi. She seemed a little flustered, unable to control her son, and panicked.
"Thank you, Aunt Jing."
"There's still no progress in the restaurant case. You need to find a way to get the police station to close it as soon as possible," Aunt Jing urged.
"I've already sent someone to urge the police station, but Aunt Jing also knows that those people's ability to handle cases is really not commendable."
"A bunch of good-for-nothings." Aunt Jing sighed. "You've suffered these past few days."
"Leng Yan is not wronged." Leng Yan still acted as humble and subservient as before.
Aunt Jing was very pleased: "Ayan, although you are not my biological child, my upbringing and education of you far surpasses that of Jing Chi. He has not grown up by my side all these years and has never been as devoted to me. You are different. I raised you with my own hands. You must take good care of yourself. The future of the Jing family depends on you and Jing Chi."
Drawing a pie in the sky.
Leng Yan stood up and stood with her hands at her sides: "Leng Yan will definitely not let Aunt down."
As he came out of the study, he bumped into Jing Chi, who was coming out of the bedroom. The moment their eyes met, sparks seemed to explode in the air.
"Good night," Leng Yan said first.
Jing Chi curled his lips into a cold smile: "You can still sleep?"
“I didn’t kill the person, so why can’t I sleep?” Leng Yan smiled calmly: “Jing Chi, don’t disappoint Aunt Jing.”
After saying that, he gave him a cryptic smile and strode away.
"A petty person gains power."
Although the case involving the restaurant is not yet closed, Leng Yan's stay-at-home order has been lifted, and he can now move around in Shanghai.
The first thing he did was come to the clinic to see Chenchen. When he saw that Chenchen had injured her knee, he asked, "Chenchen, what happened to your leg?"
"Uncle Leng, I accidentally fell down." Chenchen looked listless and not in a good mood.
Leng Yan patted Chenchen on the shoulder: "Looks like your little body isn't very strong. How about this, you can follow Uncle Leng from now on, and I'll teach you some self-defense martial arts, okay?"
Chenchen nodded.
"Chenchen, are you feeling better?" Tang Qiao asked as she entered the courtyard carrying a gift box.
Ye Zhonghong, who was following behind, stared wide-eyed and smiled like a lovesick fool.
Leng Yan stood up and greeted, "Aunt Tang."
Tang Qiao looked Leng Yan up and down: "You're Leng Yan, the adopted son of Tang Yu, right?"
“It’s me. We met a few times at the banquet, but I didn’t have a chance to greet Aunt Tang. It was my rudeness.” Leng Yan said politely.
"It's alright, you look about the same age as Jing Chi."
"Jing Chi and I are the same age."
Same age?
Upon hearing this, Tang Qiao seemed to ponder, then realized she was overthinking things. Even if Wen Nian said that the third child might still be alive, it didn't necessarily mean the child in front of her.
Are you an orphan?
“Yes, he is an orphan,” Leng Yan replied.
Ye Zhonghong tugged at Tang Qiao: "Mom, what are you asking? Brother Leng, do you have a girlfriend?"
Leng Yan glanced at Ye Zhonghong and said stiffly, "I have someone I like."
In short, Ye Zhonghong was instantly defeated; this was a blatant rejection.
"So you rejected your engagement to Tang You because of this person you admire?"
Tang You is so outstanding, yet he doesn't even fancy her. I really don't know how amazing the person he admires must be.
Leng Yancai didn't bother to explain to her and picked up Chenchen.
"Chenchen, Uncle will take you out to play, okay?"
"good."
Leng Yan completely ignored Tang Qiao and her daughter, and left with Chenchen.
"Mom, look at him..."
"And you, asking a girl if she has a boyfriend the moment you meet her, what are you trying to do?"
Ye Zhonghong touched her nose: "Mom, I'm in my mid-twenties now, and I'll be graduating soon. It's time for me to find a boyfriend."
Tang Qiao watched the two figures, one large and one small, walk away, her heart filled with panic: "Could it be that the person he admired is...?"
If that's the case, wouldn't Jing Chi be facing a "wife-chasing-in-the-cremation" scenario later on?
"Go find Young Master Jing. Forget it, I don't expect you to do anything. I'll go find Jing Chi." Tang Qiao couldn't let Leng Yan take Li Ying and the child away.
Jing Chi was in a meeting at headquarters when he received Tang Qiao's call. He was very grateful, but when he thought of Li Ying's words, he clenched his fists and comforted Tang Qiao.
"Aunt Tang, don't worry, Chenchen likes the cold banquet, so let them stay there."
"You kid, if you don't pay attention, your wife and kids will be snatched away again. I just don't understand, is your job more important than your wife and kids?"
Jing Chi was also helpless. He couldn't be with Li Ying until he completed the mission. Because of what happened last time, Li Ying was very angry with him, so he was dealing with it by giving her the cold shoulder.
"I've noted it down. Don't worry, I'll figure something out."
Jing Chi put down the phone and slammed his hand on the table. Leng Yan really knew how to take advantage of a crisis.
Leng Yan took Chenchen to collect seashells on the beach, while Lu Yufei's car was parked not far away.
"This guy called me here just so I could watch him babysit other people's kids?"
