Chapter 3, Goodbye Mr. Jiang

However, not long after, he suddenly passed away

"Haven't you had lunch?" Ji Lang put down the remote control and looked at her with a hint of amusement

Tan Qing stared at the television screen, crunching on potato chips, and mumbled, "It's just a matter of these two days"

"Could you please return the bag to me? My phone is still new," Tan Qing quickly said, adding, "If you are busy, I can come and pick it up." After all, at that time, she had appeared resolute in her decision to not take it back, and to change her mind so quickly would inevitably invite ridicule.

Three years ago, during a collaboration with another company, the Triumph Group, led by Ji Yunkai, was found to have accounting issues. Subsequently, the situation escalated, the company was sealed off, and he himself was taken away.

"I think Jiang Yuanyao is quite good." When saying this, Ji Lang observed Tan Qing's expression, and saw her big eyes blink a few times, waving her fork, her words unclear. Ji Lang waited for her to swallow her food before he could hear her clearly say: "They don't think highly of me."

Not ten minutes had passed when someone gently knocked on the door

Are there any special restaurants nearby? Jiang Mama seemed to be very fond of the sweet-looking girl. Upon learning from her son that her name was Tan Qing, she warmly called out, "What does Xiao Qing like to eat? We would like to treat you to a meal"

This Jiang Yuanyao is quite attentive

At noon in May, the sun was quite scorching. Tan Qing walked back to the community, already drenched in sweat.

What is going on?" He paused his actions, his eyes filled with concern

It is so soon that we meet again! Mr. Jiang, what a refined interest you have, enjoying coffee alone? Ji Lang walked over and extended his hand

Since the passing of Ji Yunkai, Tan Qing has not returned home.

Then, goodbye

Would you like some water? In the midst of speaking, he had already brought over a cup of water

"Indeed, we are Yuan Yao's parents. Is he not at home?" The woman smiled gently, looking up and down at Tan Qing.

Thank you. The man took the tissue, turned around, and went to the faucet to wash his face. At that moment, Jiang Yuanyao's phone rang.

Ji Lang felt a sense of melancholy in his heart, yet he remained silent. He raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead, saying: "Change your clothes, we are going out to dinner with your parents"

The hangover and the durian made Tan Qing vomit her heart out in the bathroom. After she finished throwing up and washed her face, she turned around and found a man casually standing at the bathroom door with his hands in his pockets. He was wearing a white shirt and gray trousers, and his handsome face bore an inscrutable expression.

The person by the window quickly stood up, their figure appearing even taller and more slender under the moonlight. "Are you awake?" They turned on the table lamp.

He lowered his head to look at her fingers, which were tightly grasping his, slender and white like scallions, with fingertips as smooth as jade, round and adorable. Unable to resist, he held them gently, suppressing the desire to kiss them, and smiled at her: "Guess."

What is it? His tone was no longer as frivolous as it had been at noon, now carrying a hint of somber seriousness

Qingqing, the man took off his glasses and looked at her with difficulty, "Where have you been these past two days? I have been unable to reach you!"

Indeed, the other party chuckled softly and said, "Where do you live? I will deliver it to you after the meeting."

Unfortunately, this affection and luxury lasted only for nine years. After a brief nine years, Tan Qing reached the time to leave the Ji family. Of course, Ji Yunkai did not agree.

Jiang Yuanyao smiled faintly on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I will call you later"

What the Ji family provides, she accepts with gratitude; what does not belong to her, she does not covet or desire.

After some thought, she picked up the bedside telephone and dialed Jiang Yuanyao.

So be it! Fengchi, we are even!

Tan Qing cursed under her breath, calling him a "bastard," and turned to walk away from him.

Fortunately, the water had been poured long ago and was not hot. He sighed softly, bent down to pick up the cup, and said, "I mean, can you be any more foolish?" As he looked up, he found himself face to face with Tan Qing.

At such a young age, living in this situation, it is at least a melodrama, if not a tragedy. However, the renowned wealthy businessman Ji Yunkai in this prosperous city dotes on Tan Qing to an extreme degree. She is picked up and dropped off by a private car for school, accompanied by a nanny when she goes out, and her clothing and daily necessities are akin to those of a true heiress, surpassing even the legitimate young master of the Ji family.

Ah? Tan Qing chuckled dryly, "It was just a moment ago."

"What happened between you and Xiaoqing?" Mother Jiang, who was worried, came over to ask

However, Ji Lang is different; he is the only bloodline of the Ji family, and the renowned Triumph Group in Jincheng cannot simply fade into obscurity like this

He looked at her, raising his thick, dark eyebrows: "My mom said you are pregnant, is that really true?"

Over the years, he has been well aware of everything regarding her, including her studies, friendships, and even her romantic relationships and hand-holding. Although she was only thirteen or fourteen when he went abroad, after years of intermittent meetings and interactions, he feels as if they have always been together. This feeling is somewhat peculiar, as if he himself is unclear about when it all began, but he has started to care deeply about everything concerning her.

Thank you. Tan Qing extended her hand, but unexpectedly touched the back of his hand, the icy sensation causing her to instinctively retract her hand. He, however, was caught off guard, loosened his grip, and the cup fell onto the bed with a thud, spilling water all over the quilt.

This is also the reason why her mother, Yao Xue, does not regard Ji Lang favorably; an outsider, what right do they have to suddenly possess so much?

Jiang Yuanyao picked up the cup and stood up straight, her voice like water on a sheet, devoid of any warmth: "I am not that thirsty yet"

Tan Qing finally raised her head, making an effort to smile: "I understand. Another day, Ji Lang, another day, I will definitely go back to see Auntie."

How long do you plan to stay this time? Tan Qing asked

She was admiring herself in the mirror when the doorbell suddenly rang "ding-dong ding-dong"

How is your foot doing

Mr. Jiang! Tan Qing turned around and said, "Those are your parents, not mine. Now that you are back, there is no need for me to pretend to be your girlfriend and accompany them for dinner, so... goodbye!"

Tan Qing slammed the door shut

The dishes were served quickly. Although Mother Jiang was talkative, she was gentle and amiable, which was not off-putting. Father Jiang, on the other hand, rarely spoke, and during the brief moments between eating, he chatted a few words with Tan Qing, creating a harmonious atmosphere

"I am going to hit, I am going to hit." Tan Qing ran into the room as if fleeing, closing the door tightly

The entire interior seemed to be permeated with the smell of durian, how terrible! This is something she would find disgusting even after eating it a thousand times. She coughed violently, and the discomfort churning in her stomach and throat made her hurriedly get up, cover her mouth, and run to the bathroom

Indeed, it is a nice restaurant, with an elegant environment and attentive service. Tan Qing ordered several specialty dishes and politely handed the menu to Jiang's parents

Tan Qing hurriedly pulled Ji Lang to find the farthest seat and buried her head to casually order something. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a tall and straight figure passing by. When she looked up again, Jiang Yuanyao had already left the restaurant

Tan Qing also smiled and said: "Since childhood, you have been able to find everything I hide. Why didn't you call me to pick you up?"

After finishing the meal, Ji Lang stood up to settle the bill and said to Tan Qing: "It's getting hot, your little house is too stuffy, come stay at my place!"

"I called you. You didn't answer, and I was quite worried." Seeing her face drenched in sweat and looking somewhat disheveled, Ji Lang couldn't help but pull her back into the house. He then went to the bathroom, wrung out a wet towel, and gently wiped her face a few times, softly asking, "What happened?"

So soon back? Tan Qing wondered, and then went to open the door

Since the year she lost her parents at the age of 9, Tan Qing has been fostered in the home of her mother's friend, Ji Yunkai

She is unwilling to let a man live his entire life in the shadow of failure

"So, do they regard you as my girlfriend?" Jiang Yuanyao frowned slightly

Tan Qing shook her head, her sweet smile tinged with a hint of sorrow: "Then let's talk about it when you return"

It was during the Spring Festival when she insisted on moving out of the Ji family. Ji Lang, who was already studying abroad, tightly embraced her before she stepped out of the door, his face filled with regret: "I'm sorry, Qingqing!" Forgive him for not having the ability at that time to keep her in the Ji family, nor the ability to make promises to take care of her.

She excitedly opened the door, only to find a man drenched from head to toe standing before her. His gray checkered shirt clung to his body, strands of black hair stuck to his forehead, and the lenses of his glasses were also covered in raindrops, giving his delicate and pale face a disheveled expression

Dealing with the damp sheets, Tan Qing did not sleep well during the latter half of the night. She was in and out of sleep, only hoping for the dawn to arrive sooner, but who would have thought that when she opened her eyes again, the clock on the opposite wall had already pointed to 10 o'clock

Tan Qing remained silent; she had never inquired about the Ji family's affairs or their business matters

"Xiaoqing, what happened?" Mother Jiang looked at her son with concern, seeing that he also had a bewildered expression. After pondering for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her voice trembled with excitement as she said, "Son, Xiaoqing... could it be that she is... pregnant?"

Stop! Tan Qing made a gesture to halt, "I am not interested in the details at all. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways, and neither of us should disturb the other, okay?"

I am starving, I am starving! Since last night, I have hardly eaten anything. Tan Qing is so hungry that she feels dizzy and lightheaded. She catches a glimpse of a bag of potato chips on the table and eagerly grabs it.

Hmph, don't mention that scumbag again. I see there are plenty of good men out there." Tan Qing stuffed her mouth with the freshly served Black Forest cake.

"Clear... our names? Sounds quite nice." Tan Qing laughed, "You can consider this as putting your learning into practice."

She planned to first find a pair of jeans or something similar that would suffice for going out. A glance around revealed a pink paper bag on the sofa, prominently displaying a logo that indicated it contained women's clothing, and moreover, it was new clothing with the tags still attached.

Tan Qing urgently whispered, "Something has happened! Your parents are here!"

Ji Lang is the only son of the Ji family, possessing good looks, a wealthy background, and intelligence, which naturally gives him ample reason to be proud. In Tan Qing's eyes, he is an aloof and unattainable young master, while she sees herself merely as a Cinderella living under someone else's roof

Ji Lang stood up first and saw the man smiling at him while raising his cup. He also smiled back and turned to pull Tan Qing over, saying, "Qingqing, come over and say hello with me"

Yuezhong? Tan Qing felt as if she had heard it somewhere before

Tan Qing was feeling dejected as she bent down to search under the doormat at the entrance. ... But ...! ... Damn it, she always kept a spare key hidden here!

At this moment, Jiang Yuanyao is at Jincheng Airport

No

In the afternoon, bright sunlight streamed into the living room through the window. Ji Lang sat quietly on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching television. Tan Qing quickly took a shower and rushed out wearing a loose nightgown.

"Are you enjoying your meal?" A melodious male voice sounded from above. Tan Qing was taken aback, seeing the surprised smiles on the faces of Jiang's parents: "Yuan Yao!"

Jiang Yuanyao did not get angry but instead smiled, his long fingers pinching and kneading the paper ball repeatedly, his voice carrying a hint of laughter: "Although you spent the night at my place, I did not touch you."

I’m afraid that won’t work. " Jiang Yuanyao glanced at his watch; it was already time to board. He hurriedly said, " Please greet them for me first. I will be back tomorrow afternoon."

Wait! Tan Qing was just about to turn around when she heard him slowly speak from behind, "When will you come to collect your things?"

Later, after losing the lawsuit, Ji Yunkai, who already had a heart condition, suddenly collapsed in the courtroom and never got up again

My parents are at my home

"Jiang Yuanyao?" Tan Qing's voice suddenly rose. This exclamation seemed to disturb someone, as a bright gaze pierced through the crowd and turned towards this side.

Two voices sounded simultaneously, and two pairs of eyes collided. One pair was embarrassed, while the other was sly. In Jiang Yuanyao's eyes, a smile sparkled: "Shall we sit together?"

Moreover, he seems to have discovered something more interesting than signing contracts

No, I have gotten used to living here! Tan Qing lowered her gaze, staring at her own toes

"Oh, when?" Ji Lang was unexpectedly not concerned about this outcome, but rather that Tan Qing had not informed him about this matter. It is known that she has always reported every detail to him, even from far away in the United Kingdom.

"Hmm, I haven't eaten for a few meals," Tan Qing replied vaguely, barefoot and curled up on the sofa beside Ji Lang. Her damp hair exuded a pleasant fragrance, and her mouth was stuffed so full that her cheeks bulged, resembling some greedy little creature. There were also crumbs of potato chips around her tender pink lips.

The night was quiet as water, the lights dim and hazy. In this moment, he and she could hear each other's breathing, neither spoke a word, only their gazes met in silence. It was as if time had come to a standstill, and something quietly emerged from the depths of their hearts

He turned around and walked out the door

"You won't tell me either!" Ji Lang muttered. Hearing this, Tan Qing turned her face, squinting and smiling as she said, "Please, my dear brother, I am an adult now, and there is no need to report everything to our parents, right?"

Ah? Tan Qing was taken aback, grabbing his shirt cuff, "Not going back to England? Why?"

How do you say it

As Ji Lang got into the taxi and left, Tan Qing slowly walked back alone

Her recently cleared mood was once again shrouded in heavy haze. Tan Qing sat on the sofa, increasingly annoyed by the incessant knocking at the door. She walked over to open it and coldly said, "Speak, Sun Fengchi, what do you want?"

Ji Lang's handsome face revealed a gentle smile as he opened his arms to embrace her softly, resting his chin on her shoulder, and whispered: "I miss you too"

The restaurant is not far from where Tan Qing lives, which is why she dared to abandon her bag and leave

"Mr. Jiang, I am Tan Qing." Some static came through the receiver; it seemed he was in a meeting and did not speak for a long time.

Ah? Tan Qing opened her mouth in confusion, "Are you two looking for Jiang Yuanyao?"

I did not expect that Mother Jiang suddenly suggested going out to eat; both emotionally and logically, as her "prospective daughter-in-law," I must accompany her

In the middle of the night, Tan Qing opened her eyes, her head still feeling heavy, but her consciousness had finally become somewhat clear

That smile, like a ray of clear sunlight, seemed to illuminate her entire heart in an instant

The rain continued to fall gently like a drizzle, when suddenly the phone by the bedside rang sharply

Tan Qing's heart felt as if it were blocked by a huge stone, and she shook her head: "It is not entirely your fault; a forcibly twisted melon is not sweet. Over the course of four years in university, you pursued me for three and a half years. The fact is, it has been proven that my impulsive agreement to you before graduation was indeed too hasty"

The heart suddenly felt a slight pain, and she gently embraced him back, saying: "Sun Fengchi, I promise you"

Ji Lang sneered: "He does have some courage"

Tan Qing wiped her hands with a tissue, and upon hearing this, she crumpled the paper and threw it over, saying: "If there is any, it belongs to you. Get lost!"

Tan Qing watched the black Audi R8 disappear into the traffic, withdrew her gaze, and met Ji Lang's contemplative look. "How long have you known each other?"

Of course not! Tan Qing said angrily: "I saw Sun Fengchi in bed with a woman from her company."

Tan Qing was overjoyed, cutting off the tag and putting it on directly; the nude pink dress fit her surprisingly well.

As she spoke and was about to close the door, Sun Fengchi stepped forward and tightly grasped the doorknob, his eyes reddening: "Qingqing, are you really this heartless? Will you not give me even a single chance?"

He changed his mind five minutes before boarding, and having always found the greatest pleasure in immersing himself in work, he suddenly felt that the upcoming contract signing was utterly dull

Tan Qing glanced at the Jiang family's parents, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forget it. Who knows what tricks you are playing with your parents!" After saying this, she fled the restaurant as if in a hurry

What does he want the address for? To send someone over to monitor or to settle the bill? Tan Qing thought to herself, her fingers quickly replying to the text message

Does this guy really have to deliberately say these things in front of Ji Lang? Is he not aware that he is desperately pretending not to know him? She certainly does not want Ji Lang to know that she spent the night at his house last night

As the silvery moonlight poured in through the window, it cast a shadow of a person sitting on the sofa in front of the window. She turned her sluggish thoughts and softly called out: "Mr. Jiang?"

Ji Lang smiled and after a moment said: "I plan to rebuild the Triumph Group"

I... I did not have the opportunity to speak at all

She is the latter

Thank you. Jiang Yuanyao reached out to catch it, tying a knot with the collar around his neck. The man smiled slightly and extended his hand: "My name is Ji Lang, I just returned from England, nice to meet you!"

The preliminary matters have already been communicated, and this meeting is merely for signing, dining, and deepening relationships; sending an assistant can easily handle it.

Ji Lang released his hand and smiled, saying: "This is my younger sister, Tan Qing. Qingqing, this is General Jiang from Yuezong Group."

Of course. Whatever Xiaoqing chooses is fine. "Jiang Mama glanced at her husband, took Tanqing's hand, and said, 'Let's go.'"

The door was locked securely, suggesting that Sun Fengchi must have left long ago. It is unclear how they managed to exit while ensuring the integrity of the lock. ... It seems they truly got away with it; at that time, a basin of cold water should have been poured onto the bed ...

In a fit of frustration, she kicked the door hard a few times and leaned against it in annoyance. At that moment, she suddenly felt a movement in her body as the door opened from the inside

Yes

At home ... ... there is also an older brother studying abroad. She hurriedly finished speaking, not bothering to observe Jiang Mama's expression, and opened Jiang Yuanyao's text message: Send me the address of the restaurant

The "home" he referred to is the villa of the Ji family located on Binjiang Road

"Hmm. I have met Jiang Yuanyao, the CEO of Yuezhong, once before," Ji Lang said as he sat down with Tan Qing in a booth by the window

Ji Lang looked at her appearance and squinted his eyes: "Do you know each other?"

Caught off guard, his gaze collided directly with her eyes. Tan Qing stared at him in a daze, feeling as if something soft had poked her heart, and he merely smiled at her before turning and getting into the car

Received a reply quickly: "Okay"

They are a couple who appear to be in their fifties or sixties. The man is tall and imposing, while the woman is dignified and graceful, both exuding an air of refinement. However, as they look at the disheveled and barefoot girl before them, they both wear expressions of shock: "You are Yuan Yao's girlfriend?"

"Love at first sight?" Ji Lang's tone was neither strong nor weak, carrying an imperceptible chill. "Is breaking up for him?"

"Is this how you take care of yourself?" Ji Lang's tone carried a hint of reproach as he raised his hand to wipe away the crumbs at the corner of her mouth, "Your boyfriend is quite incompetent."

I am going on a business trip. Here is the house key. Remember to lock the door when you leave. Call me if you need anything. Jiang Yuanyao. The note ended with his number. Tan Qing picked up the cup and took a sip; the tea had already gone cold, indicating that he must have left quite early.

The dim light slanted across the man's profile, making his already exquisite and perfect features appear even more handsome and three-dimensional. Jiang Yuanyao stood up and shook hands briefly, saying, "I just met a friend, Mr. Ji, please take a seat!" After speaking, his clear gaze swept over the right hand of Tan Qing, which was being held, his expression inscrutable.

"Where are you going? Mom and Dad are still waiting there." He called out to her quickly as she walked straight towards the door

From the very beginning, those who are not suitable will ultimately not yield a good outcome; she has once again proven this truth through her personal experience

"Qingqing, you must have some misunderstanding. Rao Mei and I are really just colleagues," Sun Fengchi said, raising his hand as if to pull her closer. Tan Qing brushed his hand away and coldly laughed, "Misunderstanding? Don't disgust me... I mean, Sun Fengchi, if you want to cheat, just cheat. Is it really necessary to bring it to my home?"

Is that so? Just as Tan Qing put away her phone, Jiang's mother, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but ask: "What job is Xiao Qing doing now? Who else is there in the family?"

Tan Qing's mouth formed an 'O' shape, and in the next moment, she excitedly grabbed the other person's arm, shaking it with joy, exclaiming: 'Ji Lang! When did you return to the country?'

Jiang Yuanyao draped his tie over his arm, took out a pack of tissues from his briefcase, and reminded, "Splashing some cold water on your forehead might help a bit"

When Tan Qing returned home, the sky, which had been clear, had turned overcast, with dark clouds pressing on the horizon. She felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance and instinctively reached for her phone, only to remember that it was still with Jiang Yuanyao

It is alright, I have already made plans regarding the funding, and there will also be investors coming from the UK. I am preparing to establish a new company in the media sector, and it will be named "Qinglang".

"Hi, brother, can you do me a favor!" A hand lightly patted his shoulder. Jiang Yuanyao turned his head and saw a man in a black trench coat, about the same age as him, covering his nose, with blood seeping through his fingers.

He did not expect his parents to suddenly come to Jincheng. Ever since he returned from the United States, his parents had been pressuring him to get married, and he only mentioned that he was dating a girl. Later, he broke up with Xu Jingmo without informing his parents, and to his surprise, they launched a sudden attack.

He despondently let go of his hand, and she slammed the door shut

Qingqing is back?" A tall young man stood at the door, smiling warmly at her

Jiang Yuanyao had just lifted the cup to take a sip of tea when he heard this sentence, and he sprayed the water out.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Just as Jiang Yuanyao was mentioned, Tan Qing noticed a young man in a white shirt sitting across the aisle in a booth, holding a cup of coffee, his gaze bright as stars, directed towards her, accompanied by a faint smile.

Tan Qing raised her eyes and happened to meet his gaze, which was deep and filled with a smile. Her expression became somewhat unnatural: "Oh, hello"

You arrived so quickly? ... Tan Qing jumped up from the bed and glanced at herself in the mirror: her figure was graceful, her black hair flowing, and her face like a peach blossom; not a bad image at all ... ? ... Sigh, why does it seem like I have some thoughts about him?

She did not know that her casual remark was taken seriously by someone

Indeed. Tan Qing wore a frown on her face.

Oh, I was working as a dance teacher at the training center for a while, but I am preparing to resign. " Tan Qing said with a smile, and while speaking, she noticed that her phone received another text message.

Two minutes later. As soon as Tan Qing answered the phone, she hurriedly asked: "Has the explanation been made clear? Can I leave now?"

Tan Qing inhaled sharply, standing still for a long time. A long and beautiful hand reached out in front of her, and a familiar voice sounded from above her head: "Hello"

Goodbye

Ji Lang saw that she was not moving and comforted her, saying: "I know what you are worried about... Mother actually does not dislike you."

However, this harmony was soon abruptly interrupted

She turned her face and gave him a perfunctory smile, saying, "Let's talk about it later."

Just arrived a little while ago. I came over after sending the luggage home, but I didn't expect to be met with a cold reception. Fortunately, I know a little secret about this place. The man shook the keys in his hand and smiled, his deep and rugged features softened with a touch of warmth

"That... you... don't want to kiss me, do you?" Tan Qing licked her lips, and the abrupt voice suddenly shattered the room's atmosphere of intimacy

As they spoke, the two entered a restaurant. Ji Lang also smiled and said: "The Media Studies program I attended at Westminster University ranks first among similar programs in the UK. In the two years since my master's graduation, I have also accumulated considerable experience in media companies in the UK. Most media companies in Jincheng are still focused on advertising communication, with the only one of strong comprehensive strength being Yuezong."

I see you are busy making a phone call to your girlfriend, your tie has fallen to the ground. He handed over the tie with a slight smile

No, no! Before Ji Lang could speak, Tan Qing decisively waved her hand to refuse, "We have already reserved a table, so we won't disturb General Jiang! Goodbye!"

Tan Qingmei smiled brightly and said: "Ah."

How could it be such a coincidence to run into his parents? I was mistaken for his girlfriend; what should I do now

Apart from the money and keys he gave her, the bag only contained her phone and a * picture * book, unfortunately, she had only bought that phone not long ago

"Jiang Yuanyao, those are your parents, I don't know them at all!" Tan Qing protested in a hushed voice

On a late spring afternoon, the weather had begun to warm up, and two people walked slowly side by side under the cool shade of the sycamore trees.

Ji Lang smiled and said: "It's been a long time. This time I return, I do not intend to leave again"

Cough cough. With a dry and painful throat, Tan Qing couldn't help but cough out loud and sat up

Outside the door, there was a profound silence, perhaps indicating that people had already departed. Tan Qing sat on the sofa, reminiscing about that May before graduation, when the air on campus was filled with the restlessness and sadness of parting. The fragrance of flowers lingered in the night, as many who had been together went their separate ways, while many who had no prior connection walked hand in hand.

Tan Qing retracted her hand and laughed, saying, "She must be tired of staying in England."

Tan Qing opened her arms wide, playfully like when she was a child, saying: "I just miss you, give me a hug"

Tan Qing provided the address, he said a polite goodbye, and hung up the phone

I told them, "You are my girlfriend." Jiang Yuanyao said as she walked out of the bathroom, "I helped you yesterday, so today you help me, just like that"

Tan Qing let out a cold snort: "What boyfriend? He has long become an ex. I have no relationship with Sun Fengchi anymore"

"Nonsense." He smiled lightly, took a sip of coffee, and inexplicably found it bitter

Oh, it no longer hurts

However, all of the group's assets have been used for compensation and fines, and Kaixuan has already gone bankrupt said Tan Qing

Jiang Yuanyao was wearing a gray Armani suit and a white shirt, but it seemed that today's tie was not fitting well, so he simply took off the tie, intending to re-tie it.

Sun Fengchi was at a loss for words, his ears alternately red and white. After a long pause, he finally stammered, "I drank too much that day and intended to come find you. Rao Mei said she would send me..."

Tan Qing was still respectful in front of her elders, and she quickly put on a smile: "You have come such a long way, so of course I should treat you. I know a good restaurant; I wonder if Uncle and Aunt are accustomed to eating Cantonese cuisine?" Fortunately, Jiang Yuanyao had left her some money.

She quickly jumped out of bed, moved her ankle around, and found that it no longer hurt. She gently opened the door, and the living room was quiet. Clear sunlight spilled onto the coffee table, where a cup of tea with green leaves floated, pressed down by a small stack of Renminbi and a note, alongside a shiny key.

He strode towards the boarding gate, with bright sunlight streaming through the glass window, reflecting his current mood. Suddenly, he felt someone following closely behind him. When he turned around, he indeed saw the man he had encountered earlier in the restroom, holding a gray tie in his hand

Tan Qing had not been cherished so gently by anyone for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a bit dependent. She simply lifted her head, her big eyes blinking as she looked at him: "Ji Lang..."

The black briefcase was placed beside Tan Qing, and a faint scent of grass wafted into her nostrils. Just as Tan Qing had taken a bite of the rice net durian shrimp, she turned her head and saw Jiang Yuan Yao sitting closely next to her, which startled her so much that a piece of food got stuck in her throat

Only because of a gathering before graduation, he got drunk and cried loudly while holding her in the crowd. He tightly embraced her neck and said: "Tan Qing, without you, I will have no success in this life."

Aren't you on a business trip

Mother Jiang warmly took her hand and said, "I have heard about you from Yuan Yao for a long time, but I never had the chance to come and see you. As soon as your Uncle Jiang completed his retirement procedures, we came over from our hometown. By the way, what is your name? How old are you?"

On the taxi, Tan Qing sent a text message to Jiang Yuanyao: "Please treat your parents to Cantonese cuisine"

Tan Qing was left at a loss. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang noticed her embarrassment and lightly reproached his wife, saying: "Old Su, you really are something, asking so many questions on the first meeting! Why don't you call Yuan Yao first and let her know!"

Ah! Uncle and Aunt..." Tan Qing quickly stepped aside, hurriedly inviting them in, "He... has gone on a business trip!"

As soon as he got off the plane, he started to have a nosebleed. May I ask if you have any tissues? There are none here. The man was tall and handsome, exuding a certain aura of an elite who has returned from abroad.

"Your bag is still on the table." Jiang Yuanyao raised an eyebrow at a distance, "Aren't you going to go get it back?"

Was taken away by Sun Fengchi

Jiang Yuan gazed at the fleeting silhouette disappearing at the door and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just a bit of a quarrel."

Under the brilliant sunlight, his clean and refreshing appearance is quite pleasing to the eye. Tan Qing watched as he opened the car door; although one leg had already stepped inside the car, he suddenly turned his face as if his occiput had eyes.

Jiang Yuanyao politely extended his hand: "Jiang Yuanyao."

Tan Qing discovered a new pair of shoes on Jiang Yuanyao's shoe rack, which spared her the embarrassment of going out barefoot in front of Jiang's parents. She planned to casually find an excuse and then disappear without a trace

But now
