Chapter 45 Chapter 45
For the first time in her life, Yue Qing had someone on her side when she was fighting against others, and even guarded the door for her, but she was too distracted to care about these things now.
The suppressed Gu Meng felt that the force from behind was a little weaker. She was about to take this opportunity to escape from Yue Qing's clutches, but unexpectedly, she was slapped in the face as soon as she raised her head. The slap was extremely loud. Her head tilted to one side due to inertia, and the place where she was hit felt numb at first, followed by a burning pain.
As a model, what she cares about most is her face, but before she could turn her head, another slap came from the other side, fulfilling her wish.
Now it's symmetrical.
Gu Meng was even a little dazed by the beating. He subconsciously covered his face with both hands and looked fiercely at the cold woman in front of him. His slow brain finally started to work.
Lin She came in person to guard the door outside, and a man who was either rich or noble was standing next to him. Even Lin Shao was told by the man to tell the media not to come, which shows that his status must be very high.
I took a wrong step after all.
She threw in the towel and said, "It's just a bracelet worth a few thousand dollars. You want to kill me? I can just compensate you."
I had originally thought that I was finished, and being able to anger Yue Qing would be a way to get back on track. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly withdrew his attack and said coldly, "If you can recover after being beaten to death, I'll consider it."
“?!”
What kind of person can say such a thing.
And Gu Meng felt that she was really not joking, which was the most chilling thing.
Even Jiang Sui, who was waiting nearby, couldn't help but look at Yue Qing.
The latter turned around, as if he had touched something dirty. After carefully placing the broken bracelet back into the box, he squeezed some hand sanitizer and began to clean his fingers bit by bit, his movements careful and meticulous.
You couldn't tell at all that she was so angry that she was almost crying.
"Jiang Suizhi," she said slowly, "I don't have my phone with me. Can you please call the police?"
She didn't need to say this; the people outside would have already done it: "They're on their way."
And because of the special circumstances today, even if the police arrived, there would not be too much commotion at the scene, otherwise the accident would become even worse.
Yue Qing flicked the water droplets on her fingertips and said, "Hmm."
Gu Meng, who was ignored the whole time, felt that she was being provoked by these two people again. She wanted to say something with a swollen face, but these two people turned their heads and looked at her at the same time.
She immediately fell silent.
They were clearly two different faces, two people with completely different temperaments, but their eyes were so cold that it made one's scalp numb and unable to move.
"I'm not in a good mood right now." Yue Qing said, "If you say one more word, I can't guarantee that you can save your face today."
A naked threat.
Gu Meng had experienced this before, so no matter how angry she was, she could only swallow her anger. She couldn't even beat Yue Qing, let alone the tall man next to her.
Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door outside. Lin Jian lowered his voice through the crack and said, "The police are here. I'll open the door first. You guys take shelter."
This is to prevent someone outside who has been secretly watching this place from taking photos and making headlines.
There is such a big toilet, where can I hide?
Just as Yue Qing was about to say "stand in the cubicle", someone touched his shoulder: "Follow me."
The wall on the same side as the door is a blind spot from the outside. No one will see you if you stand there, but it’s not that wide and you can’t go too far forward, so you can only stand close to the wall.
The moment the door opened, Yueqing couldn't help but move a little to the side.
The reason why she stopped so quickly was because after calming down after slapping twice to vent her anger, she understood what the occasion was today. She was someone brought by Lin Jian, and many people were paying attention to her tonight. If she spent too much time on such a person, it would not be worth it, even though she knew that Lin Jian would not be angry about this matter and would still guard the door for her like now.
But you can't hold others back.
The body next to her seemed to tremble for a moment. When she glanced sideways, she realized that she was wearing a sleeveless dress, and if she stood too close, she would inevitably bump into Jiang Suizhi.
Yue Qing whispered, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Jiang Suizhi's expression seemed normal: "Yeah."
When he broke the door and saw the scene in the toilet, his surprise outweighed his other physical and psychological reactions. Even when he held Yue Qing's wrist, he didn't react too much. If he hadn't met her eyes at that moment, he might not have realized what he had done.
It's not just children who can catch people off guard; sometimes we can catch ourselves off guard too.
He had taken medicine before coming here, but only now did he realize that the numbness and itchiness in his body seemed to crawl out from all his limbs and penetrate into his bones, especially the places where he had been touched just now.
He clasped his other hand loosely, barely maintaining his composure.
Gu Meng, who was standing on the other side, wanted to leave but was surrounded by several plainclothes police officers who were blocking the door. "Please come with us."
Then he said to the two people from Yueqing standing by the wall, "Please come over after we finish."
Yue Qing nodded: "It's hard work."
After the police took everyone out, they considerately closed the toilet door again. You must not go out at this moment, once you go out, you will be watched by many people. Yue Qing didn't want to be on so many hot searches. After the toilet became quiet again, she leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang then walked to the sink and turned on the cold water, trying to balance the anger in his heart with the water flow.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Yue Qing looking down at the box in her hand, and suddenly I remembered what she had said before.
This is her gift.
Everyone will cherish the gifts they receive, but Yue Qing cherishes it far more than ordinary people. According to his intuition, if it weren't for the subsequent episode, perhaps Yue Qing would not have been so harsh on the woman.
"Was it a gift from someone very important?" he asked, wiping his hands.
Yue Qing paused: "A friend."
What kind of friend did she value so much? She almost cried over a bracelet worth thousands of dollars, and even threatened to pay someone with his life.
He nodded and said casually, "A very important friend?"
Is it important?
Maybe to the other person, she is just one of many relationships, but to her at the moment, she is indeed very important.
"Um."
No denial.
Jiang Suizhi remembered Lin Jian saying that Yue Qing seemed to have no worries, so she didn't care much about anything. In all the time they had known each other for so long, he had never heard her talk about any friends.
Her life and circle are so clean, so clean that there is almost nothing left.
But today there was an exception, a very important friend suddenly appeared.
Jiang Suizhi suddenly had many possibilities in his mind. After counting them one by one, one of them was highlighted, just like Yue Qing's name was highlighted in the group he mistakenly joined that day.
She didn't have such a strong desire to keep the child with her, perhaps she had other plans.
Or... the child is going to have a stepfather.
This might have made Jiang Sui's eyebrows twitch violently.
"Are you really okay?" Yue Qing didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that his hands had started to turn red from being washed by the ice water, the cold water in this weather was no joke.
No matter what, Jiang Suizhi is helping today. Yue Qing feels that this person's method of treating illnesses is very Schrödinger's.
"Will touching it provide relief?" she asked.
The sound of running water drowned out her soft voice. Jiang Sui didn't hear clearly and turned his head to ask, "What?"
"After talking to you today, I looked into this disease." Yue Qing was analyzing the condition with him very seriously. "It's usually caused by a lack of certain psychological and emotional needs in the past, which makes the patient feel the urge to touch others at certain times."
The doctor spoke these words more professionally than Yue Qing, but Jiang Suizhi was somewhat interested in what she would say.
"So if touching it can provide some relief, it's better than flushing it," Yue Qing said. "Excessive repression will make the situation worse."
Jiang Suizhi finally understood. He lowered his eyes to look at Yue Qing's hands. The hands that had just clamped the woman looked thin but were stronger than he had imagined. The veins on the back of the hands were faintly visible.
The restlessness he had just suppressed surfaced again, making him anxious and eager, and even cold water was of no use.
Noticing his hesitation, Yue Qing took the initiative to ask, "Let me touch you and try it?"
Jiang Yisu's throat moved slightly, and after several seconds he hummed softly, his eyes following her hand.
In less than half a second, he felt a light touch on his back.
Like coaxing a child who had just woken up, Yue Qing's movements were very gentle, patting his back gently again and again. He could not feel his body temperature, but the restlessness in his heart was relieved.
In the past 26 years, from the time he realized something was wrong with him until now, this was the first time that Jiang Sui felt comforted and received positive emotional feedback.
It is indeed addictive, and it also inexplicably makes him feel more secure.
Lin Jian had been guarding the door outside for a long time. If she continued to do so, everyone in the venue would think she was standing guard here today. She pushed the door open and said, "The dinner is about to start. Why are you..."
"?" she asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?"
Yue Qing quickly withdrew his hand: "He was scared."
“???”
Wait, is the subject wrong?
I never saw him get scared when he was fighting alone in the street before.
"You..." Lin Jian looked at him inexplicably, "You're quite timid, aren't you?"
"Yeah." Jiang then wiped his hands, raised his eyes and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Lin Jian smiled slightly: "No problem."
No problem, I'll take my head off and let you kick it.
But now was not the time to talk about this. She whispered, "I asked Lin Zi to find a lot of people to fish in troubled waters outside. You should take this opportunity to come out quickly, otherwise you will lose the secret soon."
"Yueqing, you come out first."
"Okay." Yue Qing glanced at Jiang and asked silently.
The other party nodded almost unnoticed, indicating that he was fine.
She then picked up the box and quickly walked out under Lin Jian's protection.
Two minutes later, Jiang Suizhi finally tidied up his clothes and went over. This way, there was no more trouble, and Lin Jian could seize the opportunity: "What are you two doing in there?"
Before Jiang Sui could speak, she said expressionlessly, "Don't tell me you choked in there."
"..." Jiang Suizhi glanced at her, "You and your brother should both learn the art of speaking."
"Then what are you studying, sister-in-law literature?" Lin Jian frowned, "Although, I think it's still not advisable."
"No thoughs and no buts," Jiang interrupted her, "I was definitely scared."
Lin Jian was silent for three seconds: "I think it's more believable that you ate too much in the toilet."
Jiang Suizhi really didn't feel anything at all now, and was even a little angry. He quickened his pace and asked, "Do you know that person just now?"
"I know her. She's a model I photographed. I'm not very familiar with her." Lin Jian stopped teasing when he got down to business. "That's probably all."
Not to mention the modeling circle, jealousy happens in any circle. It just depends on whether the parties involved are smart enough. Obviously, Gu Meng is one of those who are not smart enough, and her stupidity is particularly prominent.
"I went back tonight and contacted her to work overtime, and she also cancelled it. As for the paper version, it will be reprinted. However, this is the first edition, and we have made emergency arrangements at the beginning. There are not many first editions, so the loss will not be much."
Jiang then nodded: "The loss is mine."
When Lin Jian returned to his seat, Yue Qing had already returned to his original state, and there was no sign of any danger he had just encountered.
"Are you scared?" she asked as she sat down.
Yueqing put the bracelet in her bag and shook her head: "No."
"Such a big thing didn't scare you at all." Recalling the scene of Yue Qing pinning someone down in the bathroom, Lin Jian suddenly realized, "Yeah, you seem to have practiced this before."
"A little self-defense method." Yue Qing said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm also responsible for this matter." Lin Jian was completely relieved. "When the time comes, I'll pay her compensation. I won't let her off easy."
"She is she, and you are you." Yue Qing was not so confused. "It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to pay for other people's mistakes. She will naturally go to her own place next."
"You..." Lin Jian hesitated to speak.
Yueqing: “Hmm?”
"No." Lin Jian picked up the wine glass, leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Why are you like two different people? If you were a little mad like you just dealt with her in there, I might feel better."
"Why?"
"I don't know." Lin Jian's cup gently touched the cup in front of her and he pondered for half a second. "Maybe I just always feel that it's quite distressing."
If this happened to anyone else, it would definitely take a long time.
Even Lin Jian couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't force the other party into a desperate situation, but Yue Qing could still be so calm, so calm that he didn't fight for any benefits or vent his anger for himself.
Yue Qing was stunned for a moment, then, somewhat disingenuously, he took a sip from his wine glass. "I'm already angry. Getting angry again is just mad at myself. There's no other benefit to be gained. There's a better solution to this problem. There's no point getting angry."
She chuckled: "Besides, I did nothing wrong in this matter. It would be a loss to add so many complicated emotions to myself."
"You're quite open-minded, but this mentality is also very good. There will be many people who will be jealous of you in the future." Lin Jian stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go shopping."
This is the purpose of coming to this cocktail party.
Yue Qing was the person he brought with him, and Lin Jian was ready to give her a good blowjob from head to toe.
Unexpectedly, before she and her friends could get closer, some brands and photographers came over on their own initiative.
Then push her away.
Lin Jian: “?”
She laughed angrily: "Although I know your faces, I didn't expect them to be so ugly."
"We've known you for years, why are you exchanging small talk and being so pretentious?" the photographers joked. "Aren't we just getting to know new friends first? Yueqing, right?"
Yue Qing replied in a gentle voice: "Hello."
"I noticed you just now when I was signing in. Photographer Lin's vision is still so unique. I will definitely work with you if we have the chance in the future."
"If you have any ideas, we can find time to discuss some creative ideas for the spring collection."
"We actually met that day. Do you still remember? It was at the Lin family's manor where they were on vacation."
Yue Qing really had no impression of it. The light was too dim, and she was only concerned with taking her children home. She didn't pay any attention to these people who were not in the same world as her.
Lin Jian introduced them: "They are all my friends, from all walks of life, but they are mostly in the same circle."
Yueqing nodded.
One of the photographers asked, "I saw you as a photographer the other day, but I didn't expect you to be a model."
“I’m not very proficient yet, but I’m still learning.”
Because she knows a little about photography and combines the two professions of modeling, Yue Qing is very comfortable chatting with these people. She can analyze every insight from her own perspective and even give some shooting suggestions for the next spring series.
This made the people surrounding her appreciate her even more, and they couldn't stop chatting.
In fact, Yue Qing had already prepared herself to drink a little more. She even kept hangover medicine in her bag. Unexpectedly, after a round of conversation, no one urged her to drink. Most people would politely clink glasses when they were excited. It was much more harmonious than she had imagined. She enjoyed the feeling of being able to consider any other factors and the class gap and express her opinions freely, so she was willing to clink glasses every time.
She was having a great time, but the people on the other side were not feeling so good. Ever since Jiang Sui appeared, many people had been surrounding him.
Normally, you have to find out all the possible ways to get close to someone, but now he actually came to this kind of cocktail party. Naturally, you have to try to get close to him if you can, not to mention that some time ago, Mr. Jiang transferred all the shares under his name to his youngest son, who was only 26 years old and had taken over the company for only a few years.
The Jiang family is now ruled by Jiang Suiren alone, leaving no one behind.
It's a pity that no matter who came forward to talk to him, Jiang Suiji always looked indifferent. He didn't give you face, but it was obvious that he didn't listen to what they said.
There was still a sharp-eyed person who saw President Jiang kicking the toilet before everything happened because he was close to it. He had been paying attention silently. President Jiang had not appeared for a long time and must have gone in.
He asked, "Mr. Jiang, did you come here today and see anything you like?"
At the cocktail party, many celebrities, including models, will wear jewelry or luxury goods of corresponding brands, like walking advertisements. If someone likes them, they will naturally buy them.
Sometimes artists will privately compare who sells the most items.
However, this still depends on the status. Generally, only celebrities with greater fame can wear the most luxurious clothes, while the rest are just ordinary.
Obviously Jiang Suizhi didn't even look at him. He was not here to buy anything. Apart from his personal clothes, all other clothes needed for work were bought by his secretary, not to mention luxury goods.
He felt that he was now tending to be closer to Jiang Yan. He often liked to wear formal clothes, but the casual clothes he wore recently for disguise made him more comfortable and he didn't need to match them with any accessories.
But the man next to him was also very flexible: "These little things can be bought back as gifts for family and friends, they are not that expensive."
The word "friend" touched Jiang Sui's switch, and he finally gave some extra glances to the people around him.
Seeing this, the man quickly added, "My wife likes to attend these dinners and usually buys some rings, necklaces, and earrings to take home. She can wear them herself or give them to others. It's all very nice."
Jiang Sui's mind kept replaying Yue Qing's expression when she said her gift was broken. He opened his mouth and asked, "What does she usually give to her friends?"
"That depends on whether it's a male or female friend," the man said with a smile. "For female friends, jewelry is fine. My wife didn't come today, but she kept asking me to pick out some good ones. If Mr. Jiang is interested, would you like to take a look together?"
Jiang Suizhi had only given Jiang Yan a T-shirt with the Ghost Fire Boy printed on it from the market, and had never given anything to anyone else. He nodded when he heard this.
The two men stood up and moved slowly around the venue. The man really knew his stuff and talked about everything from the color to the makeup and clothes that matched the jewelry. Jiang Suizhi didn't understand a word he said.
The last time he picked out women's clothing was for Yueqing, where he picked out a "jumping building gift package". He just found a few pictures that he liked from the designer, and he didn't know anything about dressing.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Yue Qing. He saw him sitting on the sofa, chatting with a group of men and women about something. He seemed to be in good spirits, which was a rare moment of relaxation for him.
It feels a bit like the time we were on the grassland.
Her dress today was much more eye-catching than the everyday clothes he had chosen. It was very slimming and graceful, with a model's figure that was one in a million. Coupled with her exquisite makeup, she stood out from the crowd.
But Jiang Sui couldn't help but look at her hand holding the wine glass. His back felt like being patted gently again, which was unbearable.
She didn't wear many jewels today, and they weren't as valuable as the person next to her said, but they made her look more noble.
But there was nothing on her wrist.
The man next to him talked for a long time and found that Mr. Jiang was distracted again. Was it because his explanation was not detailed enough?
That shouldn't be the case. He has been practicing with his wife for many years. Most people are not as proficient as him.
But when he followed Mr. Jiang's gaze, he immediately understood.
What Mr. Jiang is looking at is not the jewelry, but the person wearing the jewelry.
Although there were many people there, it was very easy to know who President Jiang was looking at. After all, only Yue Qing was really conspicuous, and the two of them had disappeared together just now.
He had an impression of this Yueqing, a model who had just debuted. She had an outstanding appearance and it was hard not to notice her.
"Mr. Jiang," the man immediately changed his tone, "I think that necklace is nice."
Jiang Sui, who had already looked the man over from head to toe, said: "..."
He didn't know whether it was good or not, but he knew that he couldn't buy something that someone was already wearing and give it to them.
But the man's flattery was very accurate: "My wife will definitely like it. If Mr. Jiang is free, come with me to take a look?"
Mr. Jiang himself thinks it is feasible.
Although he doesn't buy it, it's not bad to give her some KPI.
In fact, many people have already taken a fancy to the jewelry on Yue Qing. Although it is not expensive, it is her who is attracted to them. As long as they buy it, they can talk to her.
Many people were ready to make a move, but because Lin Jian was by Yue Qing's side, those with bad intentions knew that they could not act arbitrarily.
The other part who were really tempted originally wanted to wait for Yueqing to finish talking before going, but they didn't expect that they would not stop talking, one wave after another, and in the end they were too lazy to wait and went up directly.
One shopkeeper wanted to take a closer look at the model, so he pulled his friend over and said, "I've been eyeing it for a long time. It will look just as good on my girlfriend."
"Just go, why take me with you?"
"If I don't take you with me, what if my girlfriend sees me and misunderstands me? What was that guy's name?"
"Yueqing."
"Yes, if I get close to Yueqing alone, it's hard to guarantee that my girlfriend won't think too much."
When Mr. Qian, the boss who was walking side by side with Jiang, heard this, he was surprised that someone was trying to steal his sales.
This is a great opportunity for me to flatter someone!
"Boss." He immediately stopped the man, "I have to go back and comfort my wife, otherwise you should give it to me first, and I will pay for you to pick another one."
The boss who was stopped complained: "Who doesn't coax his wife?"
Mr. Qian glared.
Is the wife you coax the same as the one I coax? I might be coaxing two wives!
He coughed lightly and shifted his gaze towards the person next to him.
They are all smart people. The boss opposite noticed Jiang Suizhi at the beginning, but he couldn't connect the dots. When he saw his appearance, he immediately understood.
Oh! You’re coaxing someone else’s wife!
Jiang Sui, who had no idea what the two were thinking, was attracted by one of the bracelets hanging on the middle booth.
He had seen the one that Yueqing had liked before, which was a simpler style.
This one is simpler in design than the other one, but it is inlaid with blue diamonds, which makes it look more elegant. Jiang Sui recalled the other person's hands that left a deep impression on him. Her skin color was cold white, and the blue added to her temperament. There was a small mole on the inside of her wrist, and wearing the bracelet would add a bit of charm.
While the two people were arguing next to him, President Jiang had already figured out everything. He walked to the bracelet, glanced at the model number, and silently memorized it.
Just as I was about to go back, I suddenly looked at the price.
Tsk.
If this were really sent out, Yueqing might directly reject him.
He began to ponder.
Shouldn’t Brother Jiang’s business involve “imitation jewelry”?
no.
Brother Jiang is not her friend yet, so there is no point in being friends.
After two seconds, Jiang frowned again.
Wait, she didn't even say she was her friend.
"Mr. Jiang." Mr. Qian, who had already successfully obtained the "purchasing rights," turned around and saw that Mr. Jiang had run away, and hurriedly followed him. "Have you chosen? It's really nice. Who are you going to give it to?"
Jiang Suizhi: "..."
Mr. Qian: “?”
For some reason, he felt that Mr. Jiang's face seemed to darken after he asked this question.
