The call ended, Ye Chuyang hung up the phone.

Jiang Ying put down his phone, sat in the car and looked out the window, and clearly saw two men sitting opposite each other under the glass curtain wall in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel; it was Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jingye.

He didn't lie, he was indeed on his way back to the company, he stopped to answer a phone call, and happened to park the car on the side of the road at the entrance of the Conrad Hotel, so he found Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jingye; the distance between him and them It was very close, so close that he could tell that the shirt on Ye Chuyang's body was the one that Ye Chuyang often puts on when he didn't wear it, and he could see clearly how full the water in the glass by Ye Chuyang was.

After Ye Chuyang hung up the phone, he put the phone on the table. While putting the phone down, he glanced at the watch on his wrist, then raised his head and said something to Zhou Jing...

Jiang Ying looked at them, feeling very bewildered. In fact, his intention of calling Ye Chuyang to ask where Ye Chuyang was was very simple. He just wanted to take Ye Chuyang back after the conversation between Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jingye was over. He didn't even guess the reason why Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jing met; when dealing with the unexpected situation about Ye Chuyang, he became very dull and couldn't grasp the point. Seeing that Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jing also met Appearing at the hotel at the same time, his first thought was to take Ye Chuyang away as soon as possible. It seemed that as long as Ye Chuyang was taken away, the ins and outs of Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jing also dating in the hotel would become unimportant; Weak evasion mentality, and the reason why he blindly evades is his distrust of himself and Ye Chuyang.

He wanted to call Ye Chuyang again, tell Ye Chuyang that he was waiting for him outside the hotel, and force Ye Chuyang to leave Zhou Jingye quickly and go back with him quickly.But just as he was about to make a call, Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jing also walked through the lobby towards the elevator, as if they were about to go upstairs.

Jiang Ying froze for a few seconds, then got out of the car and ran into the hotel.

The lobby manager of the hotel was checking the reservation information at the front desk. He recognized Jiang Ying, and greeted Jiang Ying with a smile on his face. He was about to greet Jiang Ying with a smile, but Jiang Ying stopped him with a gesture.

Jiang Ying stared at Ye Chuyang who was standing in front of the elevator. Before he got close, Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jing entered the elevator, and the lights on the 21st floor came on.Without hesitation, he immediately took the elevator next to him to the 21st floor.The corridor was empty and quiet, with a carpet covering the floor, covering up the sound of footsteps.

Jiang Ying didn't know the direction, so he could only walk along the corridor, took out his mobile phone and dialed Ye Chuyang's number.The familiar ringtone came from the corridor on the left, and Jiang Ying immediately accelerated his pace to follow the sound, turned the corner, and saw Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jing standing at the door of a suite, and Zhou Jing also entered the room first. , while Ye Chuyang stood outside the door, looking down at the phone that was still ringing.

The ringing stopped abruptly, Ye Chuyang entered the room, and the door was closed afterward.

Jiang Ying was at a loss in the chaos. He regretted that he didn't stop Ye Chuyang before Ye Chuyang entered the room. As long as Ye Chuyang didn't enter the room, he could find all kinds of excuses to convince himself, and he could believe it. Any explanation Ye Chuyang gave him.But now that Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jing also entered the room, his tricks of trying to deceive himself were useless. He didn't know how this matter would end, let alone what else he could do.

What else can he do...

A hotel staff member pushed the dining cart over from the corridor, and parked the dining cart at the door of a room, only two steps away from Jiang Ying.She knocked on the door and said with a sweet smile, "Hi, I'll bring you food."

There are several exquisite Western dishes on the dining car, and a plate is full of knives and forks for eating steak.

Jiang Ying quietly picked up a western knife, hid the knife in the cuff of his suit, and walked towards the suite at the end of the corridor.

He stood where Ye Chuyang was standing just now, holding the knife in his left hand, and drew the knife half a circle in his hand, with the tip of the knife facing outwards, he raised his right hand to knock the door, but stopped just before the back of his finger was about to land on the door. Living.

He seemed to wake up from a dream suddenly, the fog of chaos entrenched in his mind was dispelled, and he saw his murderous appearance - what did he want to do?murder?Who to kill?Zhou Jing also?Yes, he wanted to kill Zhou Jingye, he believed that he was fully capable of killing Zhou Jingye, so what happened after killing Zhou Jingye?How should he face Ye Chuyang?

Zhou Jing had also died in front of him, his throat was cut and he was lying in a pool of blood, but Ye Chuyang stood in the bright red blood and cast a horrified look at him...

Thinking that Ye Chuyang was about to look at him with fearful eyes, Jiang Ying seemed to fall into the frozen lake water suddenly, and his whole body was completely cold... He didn't want to become a beast in front of Ye Chuyang, so he couldn't kill him. Zhou Jing also died.

Yes, he couldn't kill Zhou Jingye, absolutely not.

The food delivery staff delivered food to the guests in a room, pushed the dining car and continued to walk forward, and suddenly found a shiny table knife lying in front of the door of Room 2103, she picked it up , looked around, the whole corridor was empty, only her alone.

She wondered why the table knife was lying on the ground, but she had no time to think about it, and then knocked on the door of room 2103: "Hi, I'll bring you food."

The young woman who opened the door looked very serious, refused the staff to enter the room, took a plate of steak from her hand, and closed the door.

She walked into the living room with the steak and said, "Boss, your order has arrived."

The room is warm and cozy, as if the heating was turned on in the early autumn weather. All the windows are tightly closed, with a layer of soft glass gauze curtains hanging down. The air is filled with the smell of perfume and essential oils, and the fragrance of women is locked in the room. In the airtight and beautiful box, the air is fragrant and greasy, humid and hot. Staying in such an environment is like covering your skin with a silk handkerchief that has just been washed in hot water.

Ye Chuyang didn't like the hot, humid and fragrant air. He unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled them up to his elbows, and looked at the log platform on several steps.

Two screens were placed on the log platform, and behind the screen was a chaise longue, on which lay a woman in a bathrobe, with only a silhouette showing, and two middle-aged women in hotel uniforms squatting on both sides of her, giving her Do beauty treatments.

The woman behind the screen said lazily: "Put it first." She turned her head slightly, and glanced at Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jingye who were sitting on the sofa through the silk screen, "Lisa, for the two guests Pour tea."

There was no tea in the room, only a pot of freshly brewed coffee. Lisa poured two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Ye Chuyang and Zhou Jingye. Ye Chuyang took the coffee and said thank you; After Zhou Jing also came in, Jiang Ziyan lay behind the screen for beauty care. Apart from saying hello to Zhou Jing, she hadn't said a word to him so far, as if deliberately ignoring him.

Ye Chuyang hadn't been so embarrassed for a long time. He put the coffee cup on the tea table in front of him, and when he looked up, he suddenly met Jiang Ziyan's eyes through the gap in the silk screen; A phoenix bird, the bird's crown is made of white silk thread, white can't cover many things, Jiang Ziyan's eyes pierced out from the middle of the curly beard like a sharp light.

Ye Chuyang remained calm on the face, but his heart skipped a beat, realizing that Jiang Ziyan had been watching him.

"Xiao Zhou, how is your father?"

Jiang Ziyan had a mask on her face and controlled her facial movements when she spoke, so it sounded like she was gnashing her teeth.

Zhou Jing also greeted her with a smile: "Very well, I just passed my [-]th birthday a few days ago."

Jiang Ziyan sighed slowly from her throat deliberately, because she did not allow her face to undergo any changes under the mask, so the sigh was too long: "I heard about your sister, it's unfortunate."

Zhou Jing also lowered his eyes a little, making a sad look: "Qingchu is indeed very unfortunate."

Jiang Ziyan: "I'll visit your dad tomorrow, let's have dinner together."

Zhou Jing also tapped the back of his right hand with his left index finger a few times before he said, "Is Chairman Jiang the host?"

Jiang Ziyan may want to laugh, but it looks like a sneer: "Since you have already spoken, then of course the old man will invite you to this meal. But he is still in Singapore, since he has to wait for him, it will take two days."

Zhou Jing also smiled and said, "The juniors should wait for the elders. Will Jiang Ying attend?"

Jiang Ziyan's voice was cold, more like gnashing of teeth: "If you want him to apologize to your family, he can attend, but after I leave. I hate seeing his face."

Zhou Jing also glanced at Ye Chuyang meaningfully, and smiled without saying a word.

Hearing this, Ye Chuyang felt what it meant to be on pins and needles. He finally knew why Jiang Ziyan asked Zhou Jingye to meet; Jiang Ziyan was also making peace with Zhou Jing on behalf of the Jiang family. Ye's family is not much warmer than Jiang Ying's, because Zhou Jing also agreed to Jiang's peace.The two parties are about to use the dinner as a negotiating table, using Zhou Qingchu's life as a bargaining chip. The Jiang family is about to pay a certain price and reach a settlement with the Zhou family. The source of this negotiation is Jiang Ying, who is suspected of killing Zhou Qingchu.

Ye Chuyang suddenly understood that Jiang Ziyan and Zhou Jing didn't care whether Jiang Ying killed Zhou Qingchu, Jiang Ziyan only cared about whether Jiang Ying, who was deeply involved in the murder case, would have a negative impact on the Jiang family. Zhou Jing also only cared about whether Zhou Qingchu's death could bring an olive branch to Jiang's family.As for Jiang Ying's innocence and the truth about Zhou Qingchu's death, they were just a stepping stone into the mud.

So he regretted it, he regretted coming to see Jiang Ziyan, he wanted to see Jiang Ziyan to show respect for Jiang Ying's biological mother, but after seeing Jiang Ziyan, he knew that Jiang Ying had a part of her blood, and nothing else to do with her.At this moment, he was sharing a room with Jiang Ziyan, which was humiliating and desolate to Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ziyan and Zhou Jing also agreed on a time for negotiation, and then Zhou Jing also got up to leave: "Then I won't bother you, see you the day after tomorrow."

Ye Chuyang got up together with him, wanting to take the opportunity to leave with him, the more he stayed in this room, the more he felt sorry for Jiang Ying.

But Jiang Ziyan stopped him: "Are you Ye Chuyang?"

Ye Chuyang swallowed a breath and nodded calmly.

Jiang Ziyan: "You stay, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Jing also looked back at him, and left alone.

Ye Chuyang had no choice but to sit back and said, "Please tell me quickly, I still have something to do."

Jiang Ziyan raised her finger, and the woman named Lisa pushed away a screen in front of Jiang Ziyan. Jiang Ziyan took a clear look at Ye Chuyang, then closed her eyes, and said, :"Do you know who I am?"

Ye Chuyang: "I know."

Jiang Ziyan: "Then do you know why I'm looking for you?"

All of a sudden, Ye Chuyang's mind came up with a lot of goofy scenes in film and television dramas where the rich mother-in-law forced the poor daughter-in-law away. It is estimated that the situation he faced was similar to that of Cinderella in the goofy drama.

Ye Chuyang: "I don't know, please tell me directly."

Jiang Ziyan said: "I just want to see who Jiang Ying, who has been useless for more than [-] years, dares to resist the old man and insists on moving out of Jiang's house." She opened her eyelids and glanced at Ye Chuyang again, "No Think of it as a man."

Ye Chuyang said calmly: "Jiang Ying has the right to choose his own life, and any decision he makes has nothing to do with anyone."

Jiang Ziyan didn't care what he said at all, and interrupted him without hearing anything: "Why are you with Jiang Ying? What did Jiang Ying give you? Or what did you give Jiang Ying?"

Ye Chuyang was angry in his heart, but he still maintained his politeness and calmness, and said, "I didn't give Jiang Ying anything, and Jiang Ying didn't give me anything. We are together only because we want to be together."

Jiang Ziyan closed her eyes and smiled contemptuously: "I don't believe that you are together because of love. Jiang Ying is a cold-blooded monster. He doesn't even have feelings. Where did he get love? To be honest, what deal did you and Jiang Ying have? "

At this point in the conversation, Ye Chuyang finally understood the reason why Jiang Ziyan asked him to meet, he couldn't help showing a weak sneer: "You are worried that I will use Jiang Ying to transfer your Jiang family's property, or that Jiang Ying and I will join hands to steal Take the property of your Jiang family?"

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect him to speak clearly, she raised her eyelids and looked at him coldly: "Does your upbringing allow you to talk to elders like this?"

Ye Chuyang stood up while laughing, and said: "My upbringing has been exhausted when you suspected that Jiang Ying and I were colluding with each other to plan your Jiang family's property. Although I think this is a lot, but because you are Jiang Ying's Mother, so let me explain to you once again; Jiang Ying is the only person I have my eyes on inside and outside your Jiang family. Apart from Jiang Ying, I have no interest in your family. I'm here to see you today You, just because you are Jiang Ying's legal mother, but you don't seem to want to meet me as Jiang Ying's mother, so I regret coming to see you today, and hope there will be no next time."

After finishing speaking, Ye Chuyang bowed slightly to her to show respect, and said, "I'm done talking. Goodbye, Ms. Jiang."

The room was even more humid, and the air seemed to be bubbling with water vapor.Ye Chuyang couldn't wait for a second, and walked quickly to the door, but when he was about to open the door, he heard Jiang Ziyan say, "Stop."

He turned his head and saw Jiang Ziyan finally sat up from the imperial concubine chair, leaning crookedly on the pillow, and took off the mask on his face, revealing a beautiful long face covered with water.

Jiang Ziyan is well maintained. At the age of nearly 50 years old, her skin is as smooth and tender as a girl's, and there is no trace of wrinkles on her face, but her eyes are not as bright as a girl's. Her eyes are condensed and deep. The eyes are filled with thick city government and cunning scheming.

She rubbed her tender hands with lowered eyes, and said, "Help me with something, and you can do whatever you want."

Ye Chuyang suddenly became interested in listening to her continue: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ziyan: "Jiang Ying wants to move out of the old house to live by himself, don't say you don't know."

Ye Chuyang: "I know."

Jiang Ziyan: "No matter what method you use, convince Jiang Ying to let him return to the old house."

Ye Chuyang smiled and said, "Why should I interfere with Jiang Ying's choice? He is already 27 years old, and he has every right to decide where he lives."

Jiang Ziyan raised his eyes, piercing Ye Chuyang's face like densely packed needles, and said, "You don't know anything, but you express your opinion to Jiang Ying without shame."

Ye Chuyang: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Jiang Ziyan said: "Jiang Ying can't leave the old house. He has lived in the old house for 27 years, and he must live in the old house forever in the future. I will never allow him to have freedom."

Ye Chuyang suddenly said: "You want to imprison Jiang Ying."

Jiang Ziyan sneered and said: "He should imprison himself. He has harmed so many people and he has to pay the price. He also understands that he is carrying multiple sins, so he has been living in the old house, but now he suddenly wants to Running away, wanting to be free. Does he deserve it?"

Ye Chuyang felt sad: "Does he not even deserve his own life?"

Jiang Ziyan said: "He has ruined so many people's lives, why should he have his own life?"

Ye Chuyang looked at her melancholy, and said, "With all due respect, your condemnation of him from the moral high ground cannot cover up your selfishness and cold-bloodedness. You don't even care about your own children, you care about being hurt because of Jiang Ying." Anyone else? The reason why you hate Jiang Ying, torture Jiang Ying, and treat Jiang Ying so viciously is only because of yourself. "

Jiang Ziyan smiled arrogantly: "That's right, I did it for myself. Jiang Ying deserved what he deserved, and he deserves my hatred for him."

Ye Chuyang was never a mean person, but Jiang Ziyan aroused his greatest anger in recent years: "Your hatred for Jiang Ying seems to have started since he was very young. I really can't imagine that Jiang Ying is still What did you do when you were a child to make you hate him so much. Maybe the reason you hate Jiang Ying is not Jiang Ying himself, but the grievances and grievances of your previous generation, but you have passed the hatred on to Jiang Ying, it's just a ignorance hated him, and gave him nothing but hate."

Jiang Ziyan seemed to have hit the pain point of what he said, and said coldly: "Shut up, you have no right to comment on our family affairs."

Ye Chuyang looked at her firmly, and continued: "I admit that Jiang Ying has flaws, but Jiang Ying is not the monster in your mouth. Even if Jiang Ying is a monster, it is also a monster that you cultivated. The responsibility lies with you. Not in Jiang Ying. So Jiang Ying doesn't need to make atonement for you, but you should repent to him."

He opened the door and closed it again. He stood alone in the empty corridor in a trance for a moment, then walked quickly to the elevator.

While he was waiting for the elevator, Lisa chased after him, handed him a business card, and said, "Mr. Ye, I hope you will reconsider my boss's proposal."

The elevator door opened, Ye Chuyang walked into the elevator and said, "Tell your boss, my condition is that you please let Jiang Ying go, and don't look for me again."
