22 Chapter 22
Although Jiang Yao said that she wanted to let go, she was actually waiting for Li Qin to tell him that it was all hype, she knew that it was not right, but she couldn't help but think about it, saying that it was she who broke up, and now seeing Li Qin and others uncomfortable together, Jiang Yao spit on herself a little.
However, it has been two days since the news came out, Li Qin did not clarify anything with Jiang Yao, and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Yao in the past two days, saying that she was about to leave, and told her to bring a thin coat, the night in Qingdao may be a little cold, especially at the seaside, the scandal between him and Bai Yiqing did not mention a word, nor did he say anything to seek reunion, and he did not even have any tendency to seek reunion, just like an ordinary friend chatting.
Jiang Yao has also been in love once, she doesn't understand these twists and turns, she is originally a cheerful person, and she lives with herself, she estimates that Li Qin should really let go, and the last concert was an opportunity.
Alas, it's also good, it's not bad if we can start over with each other, Jiang Yao comforted herself so much.
However, Li Qin didn't mention that others would mention it, for example, Jiang Yao's colleagues, many people were very curious about this matter, and they all came over to ask Jiang Yao about the authenticity of this news.
"Xiao Jiang, this news is true, right? You're a friend of Li Chin, you know it for sure, tell us quickly. ”
"I don't know, he didn't tell me, and I'm too embarrassed to ask." Jiang Yao's interest was not very high.
"You are friends, he helps you so much, what is this embarrassing to ask, you are really in the blessing and do not know the blessing, we can't talk to him, you have such a good relationship with him and don't know to inquire about the news, you care about friends." The colleague's rhetoric is very sanctimonious.
"Okay, next time I'll find a suitable opportunity to ask for you, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to ask." Jiang Yao fooled over.
But it's not enough for colleagues to ask, even Cheng Peiran, the boss, also came to ask, Jiang Yao has eaten with Cheng Peiran for dinner in the past two days, sometimes ordering takeout in the office, sometimes going out to eat, anyway, the past two days are almost inseparable, the more Jiang Yao delves into this case, the more she feels that she lacks knowledge and ability, and almost always has problems that need to be consulted with Cheng Peiran, even when eating.
Cheng Peiran was in a good mood, before Li Qin said that he was going to Qingdao, he was still depressed, but now suddenly another village is bright.
"Eat some meat, I see you don't seem to be in good spirits lately, are you too tired? Don't always be a vegetarian all the time, no matter how thin you are, you won't be in shape. Cheng Peiran found that Jiang Yao had faint dark circles under his eyes.
"No, I have rested, but I don't have much appetite lately, it's hot, and I don't really want to eat greasy." Jiang Yao sandwiched a piece of braised pork and ate it, "It tastes good, the chef here has good skills." ”
"Then drink some soup, the soup is more tonic and not very greasy." Cheng Peiran intimately served Jiang Yao a bowl of soup.
"Thank you, senior."
"Are you worried about Li Chin's affairs?" Cheng Peiran took the initiative to advance this stubble.
Jiang Yao's heart was half a beat faster, and then he calmed down: "What can I worry about about him, I broke up with him, he and I are ordinary friends now, he just has something to worry about and I don't care about it." ”
"You still like him, don't you?" Cheng Peiran said directly, he could hear the anger in Jiang Yao's tone, if he didn't still like Li Qin, how could it be this kind of reaction, he deliberately said in his mouth that he didn't care, but in fact, he cared very much in his heart, and the reaction of people who really put it down was not like this.
"It doesn't matter if you like it or not, anyway, I'm not suitable for him." Jiang Yao put down her chopsticks, "Senior, why are you so gossipy." ”
"Actually, I've been gossiping all the time, but I've been hiding it for the sake of my image, and it's been very hard to endure it, you don't know." Cheng Peiran is serious.
"Hahaha, really?" Jiang Yao laughed.
"Don't you believe it? I'm usually so serious in your eyes? Cheng Peiran pretended to be sad.
"yes, everybody thinks so, you don't even know what the guys at the office say about you." Jiang Yao made a small report, "They said senior, you must be the kind of person who has to memorize the company law several times before going to bed to sleep peacefully." ”
"How do they know?" Cheng Peiran was shocked.
"Huh? It's true? Jiang Yao was also stunned, isn't it, this habit is too strange.
"Hahahaha......" Cheng Peiran laughed.
Jiang Yao: "......" actually lied to her!
"I'm not so pedantic, I also have a lot of hobbies in private, running, swimming, photography, I also have two dogs at home, work is work, life is life, people who don't distinguish between public and private are either annoying or very boring." Cheng Peiran hopes that Jiang Yao will not misunderstand him, he is also a cheerful person who loves life in private, and his seriousness is only limited to work.
"I agree with that!" Jiang Yao nodded again and again, "It's really annoying to not distinguish between public and private." She thought of Li Qin again, she felt that filming or receiving notices was Li Qin's job, and spreading scandals is that there is no distinction between public and private, and it is really unprofessional that private life can also be used as a selling point, she endured it for three years, and she has been thinking about seizures or holding back, now it's okay, now she doesn't have to endure it, it has nothing to do with her in the future.
Jiang Yao looked very cute when she said this, Cheng Peiran was in a more comfortable mood, Jiang Yao was more and more relaxed in front of him, I believe that the atmosphere between them will get better and better, after going to Qingdao, you must behave well, and let Jiang Yao see her advantages outside of work.
"Hum-" Jiang Yao's mobile phone rang, it was a message from Li Qin.
"Yaoyao, are you in Fenghua?"
Jiang Yao frowned, and then replied: "How do you know?" ”
"My friend happened to see you, and I happened to be going there for dinner, so I'll go find you."
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yao felt inexplicably wonderful.
After a while, Li Qin didn't reply, and then seven or eight minutes later, he appeared in front of Jiang Yao, with a smile on his face, "It's a coincidence, I just happened to eat here." He was relieved to see Cheng Peiran sitting opposite Jiang Yao, he had just heard a report from a friend that he saw Jiang Yao eating with a very handsome man, which made him nervous for a long time, and thought that Jiang Yao had gone on a blind date again, and when he came over, it turned out to be Cheng Peiran, and he was instantly relieved.
Jiang Yao silently rolled her eyes in her heart, what a coincidence, I don't want to see you at all now.
Cheng Peiran didn't welcome Li Qin very much in his heart, but when everyone came, he couldn't drive people away.
When Jiang Yao saw Li Qin, he thought of the scandal between him and Bai Yiqing, and his heart was very blocked, and he had no appetite for eating, so he took a few bites and said, "I'm full, I'll go back first and continue to read the information, and you eat slowly." Then he walked away with a stack of materials.
"Yaoyao!" Li Qin was caught off guard, and he couldn't stop it.
"Let her go back first, she has been reading the materials until late late, racing against time to study, let's not delay her." Anyway, he and Jiang Yao spend a lot of time together, and it's not bad for a while, as long as Jiang Yao doesn't stay with Li Qin.
Li Qin had no choice but to stop talking, and then chatted with Cheng Peiran, he thought that Cheng Peiran was a good person, thinking that Cheng Peiran only regarded Jiang Yao as an employee, after all, they had worked together for three years, if there was anything earlier, where would they wait until now.
"Lawyer Cheng, I know that you are the most tight-lipped person, let me ask you something." Li Qin and Cheng Peiran are close.
"Just ask." Cheng Peiran put on a very professional appearance, he thought that Li Qin was going to consult him about some legal matters.
"Do you know about my recent scandal?"
Cheng Peiran nodded, "Of course I know, the scandal with Bai Yiqing, right?" I watch the news every day. "Paying attention to practical things every day is a necessary basic quality to do what they do.
"Yaoyao knows, right?"
"Yes."
"So how did she react? Is she jealous? Li Qin asked a little nervously.
"......" Cheng Peiran said in his heart what tricks this guy is going to do, he actually thinks that Li Qin's actions are already out, if he doesn't care about Jiang Yao, he has nothing to say, but if he still likes Jiang Yao, then he should clarify with Jiang Yao in time, so that people who like it misunderstand is not a reliable behavior.
"Uh...... She won't tell me if she's jealous, and we don't talk about anything personal. Cheng Peiran won't tell Li Qinjiang Yao's true reaction, and he is not stupid.
"That's right......," Li Qin was a little disappointed, "my friend said that this method is reliable, and I am always a little apprehensive, what if it is self-defeating." ”
"What method? Is your scandal fake? ”
"Of course it's fake, Yaoyao just lost her temper with me, and I've been waiting for her." Li Qin said as he ate.
"Then why didn't you clarify with her? She might really be mistaken. "Cheng Peiran doesn't know Li Qin's actions very well.
"But she won't get back together with me now, and I want to make her a little nervous, if she doesn't value me, maybe I'll be with someone else." Li Qin began to look forward to a bright future again, "There is a ready-made scandal for me to use, lawyer Cheng, what do you think of this method?" ”
Cheng Peiran: "......" He was speechless, is this person a war? He thought that this method of pursuing people was only available in the brain-dead, and the person who taught Li Qin this method must have an enmity with him, right? Otherwise, most of them are also an idiot with bad feelings, which is terrible.
Normal people will definitely be very angry and disappointed, and it will only kill people's good feelings, just like the boys who always prank the girls they like in elementary school, they think they will attract the attention of the girls they like, and they work hard, but in the end, the results are very miserable, and the cliff can't catch up with anyone, if Jiang Yao can turn around because of this incident, then Li Qin is really true love, he has absolutely no chance at all, and he loses convincingly.
"Uh......" Cheng Peiran thought for a while, "I think this method is very good, as the saying goes, little vinegar is pleasant, your friend is very witty, you are right to listen to him." He began to talk nonsense, the little vinegar is right, but the big vinegar hurts the body, it's too sad and the final effect will only backfire, the opponent has made it clear that he wants to pit himself, of course he has to assist, otherwise where is he worthy of himself.
"Lawyer Cheng, I'm relieved of your words." Li Qin was in a good mood, "I'm usually busy with work, and I can't always be by Yaoyao's side, Lawyer Cheng, you have to help me keep an eye on it, if she goes on a blind date again, you tell me as soon as possible, and I'll invite you to dinner when I get back." ”
"Yes, with a gesture, I will definitely inform Mr. Li as soon as possible." Cheng Peiran readily agreed, anyway, he was not happy that Jiang Yao would go on a blind date, and he could sabotage him without coming forward.
Li Qin's face was full of gratitude, "I knew that Lawyer Cheng was righteous enough, and I trusted your character the most, and I was relieved to have you look at me." ”
Cheng Peiran showed a warm smile, he had no guilt in his heart, and he didn't feel guilty at all, doing their job was originally walking on the edge of morality, doing everything for the benefit of the client, and he didn't feel that he was wrong in this matter, it was Li Qin who trusted him too blindly, and he couldn't be blamed for being cheated.
Li Qin got Cheng Peiran's assurance, thinking that he had found a good helper, and the two talked happily during a meal, and they were almost called brothers.
The time soon came to set off for Qingdao, Li Qin's crew chartered a plane, and Li Qin said that he would be responsible for the transportation expenses, and he did what he said, chartered a plane to Qingdao, and Jiang Yao and Cheng Peiran also happened to take a ride.
One is a beautiful female lawyer who became popular because she is a friend of Li Qin, and the other is a well-known big-name lawyer in the industry, all of whom are famous people, and the crew is very face-saving, and even the director came up to shake hands with the two and say hello.
This is the first time Jiang Yao has seen Bai Yiqing up close, she is indeed a very beautiful girl, she smiles very sweetly, and there are two cute dimples at the corners of her mouth, she is the type that is easier to make people feel good, and she is indeed right when she stands with Li Qin.
Jiang Yao's heart began to get irritable again.
"Jiang Yao, don't you like to be a window, do it here." Cheng Peiran beckoned to her.
"Okay." Jiang Yao thought to herself that it was fortunate that she had a reliable boss to travel with her, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with these people today, and she didn't want to say anything when she saw Li Qin and Bai Yiqing standing together.
Li Qin glanced here, he was very relieved Cheng Peiran, and he didn't think much about it when he saw Jiang Yao and him sitting at the corner window, he estimated that the two of them must be going to talk about business, and then Jiang Yao really took out the folder and looked through it.
The plane took off quickly, Li Qin was talking to the director in the front row, Jiang Yao and Cheng Peiran were looking through the information, the two parties were fine, but Bai Yiqing came to chat with Jiang Yao, and she also asked a very "interesting" question.
"Miss Jiang." Bai Yiqing sat on the back of a row of chairs in front of Jiang Yao and talked to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao looked up when she heard the voice, and when she saw Bai Yiqing, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to her senses and smiled: "It's Miss Bai, what's the matter with you?" ”
"I just have something personal to ask you." Bai Yiqing glanced at Li Qin, and then lowered her voice and said, "You and Li Qin are good friends, you must know which girlfriends Li Qin has had before, right?" ”
"......" Jiang Yao was a little confused, how can this make people answer, you can't say "I'm Li Qin's ex-girlfriend", right?
Cheng Peiran immediately helped Jiang Yao out of the siege, "Miss Jiang shouldn't know much about this, and Mr. Li is not the kind of person who will share this experience with others everywhere." ”
"That's right." Bai Yiqing stuck out her tongue, looking quite cute, "I'm sorry I asked the wrong thing, I just care a little." ”
"Miss Bai should be dating Mr. Li, right?" Cheng Peiran decided to try Bai Yiqing, "You can try to ask him yourself, he should be honest with his girlfriend." ”
Bai Yiqing didn't know that Cheng Peiran was testing her, she only had one thought when she heard this: the relationship between Li Qin, Cheng Peiran and Jiang Yao has not yet reached the point of putting their hearts in their hearts, at least they are not in love, but the two of them don't know about the scandal, or there is another possibility, Li Qin actually has a good impression of her, and acquiesced in the relationship in front of his friends, but he has not yet had a showdown with her.
Thinking of this possibility, Bai Yiqing couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"I'm just embarrassed to ask you, I want to know what type of girl he likes, I'm always afraid that I will do something wrong and make him unhappy." Bai Yiqing looks like a girl in love, "My EQ is a little low, and I don't know how to please him." ”
Cheng Peiran said with a smile: "Miss Bai is too worried, I heard that this time Mr. Li asked for the filming location of your new movie, he has already thought about you so much, what are you worried about." ”
Bai Yiqing showed a shy smile, the joy in her eyes couldn't be stopped, Jiang Yao turned her head, she just hoped that Bai Yiqing would leave quickly, she didn't want to listen to it anymore.
"Did he tell me before you guys?" Bai Yiqing asked again.
"Yes, someone specifically told me about you." Cheng Peiran said.
Jiang Yao looked at him, when did it happen?
Cheng Peiran saw the confusion in Jiang Yao's eyes, so he explained: "You weren't there at the time, just last week in Fenghua, you said that you were full and left early, and then I talked to Li Qin until late before going home." ”
"Oh, that's when I saw it." Jiang Yao tugged at the corners of her mouth, she felt that her current smile must be ugly.
Cheng Peiran said to Bai Yiqing: "At that time, he told me a lot of things about Miss Bai. He didn't talk nonsense, Li Qin did tell him a lot of things about Bai Yiqing, but he was just clarifying, Li Qin just used Bai Yiqing as a springboard to recover Jiang Yao.
"What exactly?" Bai Yiqing was very curious, did Li Qin really like her?
"I've been asked to keep it a secret, sorry." Cheng Peiran was vague.
"By the way, Miss Jiang, I really thanked you before." Bai Yiqing took Jiang Yao's hand and was full of gratitude, "Thanks to the Weibo you posted to clarify Li Qin, otherwise he doesn't know when he will be wronged, I really want to thank you, I'll treat you to a meal another day, Qingdao is my hometown, I know best where there is anything delicious, let me do my best to be a landlord and take Miss Jiang to taste our Qingdao food." ”
"......" Jiang Yao was even more panicked in her heart, she helped Li Qin, but Bai Yiqing thanked her and invited her to dinner, which was completely like Li Qin's girlfriend, no, there are not enough girlfriends, the family members are almost the same, and the serious family members are just talking about this at most, right? Thanking her for this "friend" for Li Qin, it sounds really ridiculous, where can she eat such a meal.
"You guys are filming so hard, don't bother." Jiang Yao refused with a smile, "Next time, we also have a very important task this time, our nerves are all tense, and we don't have much heart to play, so it won't be good to sweep everyone's interest when the time comes." ”
"Okay, you must not refuse me next time~" Bai Yiqing just said it, where is she sincerely wanting to invite Jiang Yao to dinner, she is also afraid that she will get along with Li Qin's friends for a long time, and she is not interested in dealing with Li Qin's female friends, this female lawyer is beautiful, but since she went on a blind date, it is estimated that she has nothing to do with Li Qin, why should she spend time on irrelevant people, it is a waste of time.
Cheng Peiran watched from the sidelines, and after listening to the conversation between the two, he sneered in his heart, this woman surnamed Bai is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"You're busy, I won't bother you." When Bai Yiqing left, he asked the two for contact information, although he couldn't use it now, but maybe it would come in handy in the future, especially this lawyer Cheng, who seems to have a good relationship with Li Qin, Li Qin also mentioned himself to him, and he may use it after leaving a contact information.
After Bai Yiqing left, Jiang Yao rubbed her temples, she knew that she shouldn't have agreed to set off together, this was really tiring than any lawsuit.
"Are you alright?" Cheng Peiran said worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a little tired." Jiang Yao closed her eyes and recuperated.
"Then you can rest."
"Hmm."
Cheng Peiran looked at Jiang Yao and sighed, in fact, he was a little sympathetic to Bai Yiqing before today, according to all kinds of information on the surface, Bai Yiqing was indeed very affectionate to Li Qin, and stood by Li Qin's side unswervingly when he was in difficulty, but Li Qin was unmoved, and used her to stimulate Jiang Yao, which was really very pitiful.
But after meeting today, he had another opinion, he found that this woman was really unlikable, at least he didn't like it, the words were contrived and dishonest, obviously he and Li Qin were just stirring up scandals, but they used words to mislead people to think that the two were really in love, whether she really liked Li Qin or wanted to hug her thighs, this kind of behavior was not advisable, if he didn't know the truth, then he would definitely be misled, at least Jiang Yao had been misled, it is estimated that she is now convinced of the relationship between Li Qin and Bai Yiqing.
But he won't expose it, this situation is in his favor, although it's a bit despicable, but Jiang Yao and Li Qin have broken up, he is not a third party, and there is nothing to feel guilty about.
In fact, from this point of view, Cheng Peiran feels that he and Bai Yiqing are a little similar, they are both quite scheming, Jiang Yao is a straight person, Li Qin is simply a stupid Bai Tian, he seems to have a negative IQ in love, is it all in acting?
But it is precisely because he is a scheming person that Cheng Peiran knows what he hates about this kind of person, he doesn't need to have such a kind of person around him, and he won't make such a friend, so he has no good impression of Bai Yiqing.
