Chen Xia

Chapter 174 Disgraceful

From this perspective, Jiang Chen's skin is still excellent.

A face that fits a girl’s dream too well.

Clear Adam's apple, smooth jawline, thin lips.

Ye Mian's heart was beating fast and her stomach was churning with discomfort. Especially when Jiang Chen looked directly into his eyes, Ye Mian's breathing slowed down.

She thought about the call that had just ended abruptly and asked, "Zhong Qian... is the one from before..."

"No." Jiang Chen lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and slowly arranged the broken hair on her forehead.

Ye Mian knew it.

Capitalism is not trustworthy and will always lie to people.

No matter how much I ask, I can't find out.

Ye Mian turned over and hugged the pillow to continue resting.

Jiang Chen sat quietly in the car, his gray eyes quiet, looking at the receding green belt outside the window, and rubbed his brows.

Occasionally there is the roar of a car engine in the car, which is very similar to the muffled thunder on those rainy nights.

He could even recall the greedy and despicable gaze that had been leaning against the window, peeking at the girl changing her clothes, and the irritating words.

"His father is not at home!!"

"Jiang Chen, don't meddle in other people's business. I'll just take a look. She's the best-developed in the entire old city."

"You like her too, right? Come and take a look. There is a hole in their house. I just dug it out. It's awesome. When she falls asleep, I will take you to climb the window sill. If you don't close the window occasionally, you can go in and take a walk. It’s a circle.”

"Even if you call the police, I will still want her after I come out!"

"You'd better watch her all your life and don't give me a chance!"

"..."

Jiang Chen's pupils tightened, his fingertips intertwined, his white skin was covered with veins, and the cold murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

He couldn't let that person get close to the girl again.

He didn't even want the girl to think about that despicable past again, and she was worried every day.

No one can hurt her.

He needs to sleep well every night.

……

Ye Mian actually never fell asleep. Occasionally when he raised his eyes, he could see Jiang Chen's hand bones.

It was clearly visible that it was wrapped with force, as if it was holding back something.

Under the sunshine in June, it was very gloomy.

Ye Mian's heart sank, and she instantly realized that she was right. The two words "Zhong Qian" might be what Jiang Chen has been troubled by.

What terrible consequences.

He actually slowly embarked on that road.

……

The air in Jiangcheng is very good, green trees grow in patches, and few people go back to trim the top branches. Many streets are surrounded by big trees, and there are only a few traces of sunlight shining down.

The car stopped in Huayuan.

Jiang Chen got out of the car and opened the door for Ye Mian.

Before Ye Mian could get out of the car, he walked to the side and made a phone call.

Ye Mian looked at his back from the side of the car window as he walked away, and frowned slightly.

She needs to understand one thing.

Where is Zhong Qian?

The trees on the street swayed gently in the breeze. After Jiang Chen came back from the phone call, Ye Mian got out of the car and hugged him.

Her voice was very soft, accompanied by the slightly hot summer breeze.

"Jiang Chen, I have something to do tonight, and I want to have dinner with Jiang Yuan. I'll come find you in two days, okay?" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, lowered his head and took the suitcase that Lin Shan had brought down, with a hint of emotion in his words. With a faint smile: "Okay, go have fun, and call me if you need anything."

"Yeah." Ye Mian paused and hesitated: "You too, call me if you have anything to say, tell me if you have anything to say, and always... stay with me, okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Chen didn't seem to have anything strange, and he agreed happily.

Ye Mian's lips moved, wanting to say something more.

The next moment, Jiang Chen's cell phone rang again.

He glanced at the call message, and Ye Mian hugged him, then turned and went upstairs with a smile.

……

Ye Mian's breath disappeared from the car, and the air became quieter. Jiang Chen sat in the back seat and answered the call.

Just like the male voice that came out of the car stereo, he spoke in a leisurely manner.

"Mr. Jiang, we found out. Zhong Qian went out today to take his father to the hospital. His father died early this morning. I heard it was caused by overwork. Now he has been transported to the crematorium. He is crying quite sadly. .”

"That's really bad news."

Jiang Chen's voice was calm and slow.

Lin Shan looked back at the boss in disbelief.

I can’t believe my boss still sympathizes with his enemies.

The person on the phone obviously paused and asked hesitantly: "Are we still watching?"

Jiang Chen secretly closed his eyes, hiding all the surging emotions in his eyes.

"Start, stare to death, a mad dog with no worries is the best at biting."

He never believed that Zhong Qian would change for the better. Such a dirty person at heart could not change his nature even after being put in jail.

He also felt that it was strange that the girl was talking nonsense today. He could feel that the hypnosis seemed to have failed, but the difference was that before... Zhong Qian gave Ye Mian medicine.

……

This summer is still so hot.

The continuous chirping of cicadas and insects can be heard.

Ye Mian stood by the window sill, watching the black car leaving Huayuan downstairs, then went into the bathroom and changed into a lighter summer skirt.

She took the small bag, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and hurried out to the resettlement house in the old city.

The resettlement house in the old city is located near No. [-] Middle School. It is a relatively remote area. There is a wetland park to the north, making it suitable for living and working.

Most of the old neighbors in the past had a simple character. Without their old houses, most of them chose to live in houses arranged by the state. There was no dissatisfaction.

Ye Mian inquired all the way and found the address of the neighbor's house that he was familiar with.

Aunt Zhang, who used to love picking dates the most, opened a pastry shop in front of the community.

As soon as Ye Mian passed by, she recognized Ye Mian.

Ye Mian bought some pastries and was pulled by Aunt Zhang to reminisce about old times. Following Ye Mian's intentional or unintentional guidance, Aunt Zhang naturally chatted about the current lives of the old neighbors.

Later, when the conversation was almost over, Ye Mian asked: "What about the Zhong family? My father seems to know their family."

Aunt Zhang wrinkled her face and spoke after a long while: "Old man Zhong, he seems to have passed away. His son came here in the morning and invited us to have a drink at his hometown in Shunzhen, but we are busy with business and have no time to go."

Ye Mian said: "Shunzhen?"

Aunt Zhang nodded: "Well, his hometown is there, and his son went to jail for some unknown reason. The old man had no wife when he was young, and he had someone to rely on in his later years who also went to jail. This aspect is quite pitiful."

Aunt Zhang said the word "no wife" very lightly.

In the sky above the resettlement housing complex, there are occasionally a few wires crisscrossing each other, and summer birds stop on them and peck each other's feathers.

Ye Mian really didn't know much about Zhong Qian. He only remembered that when he was a child, he was the eldest among all his playmates, and he was the one who took all the children to play with him.

Aunt Zhang couldn't stop talking about the Zhong family.

"But, none of the old neighbors should go. His father died in a disgraceful way, and if he goes there, he will be in trouble."
