C45

The middle-aged man trembled in pain and curled up into a ball.

The invitation also fell from his pocket.

Tang Han picked it up and looked at it, then smiled. "Gu family?"

The middle-aged man's expression immediately changed as he begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pretended to be a member of the Gu family. Please be magnanimous —"

"You should talk to Miss Qing about this." Tang Han left with the middle-aged man.

Tang Jinyao helped her up.

Seeing the fear in Ji Xinqing's eyes, he smiled lightly, "Miss Ji, everything is fine now."

Ji Xinqing struggled out of his grasp and took a step back. She politely thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Tang."

Feeling the warmth of her coat, Ji Xinqing hesitated for a moment before she decided to take it off.

Sensing her movements, Tang Jinyao raised his eyebrows mockingly. "No need, Miss Ji. Are you planning on having another fever?"

Ji Xinqing was silent. She forced a smile and slowly lowered her hand.

The host's voice rang and Ji Xinqing fell silent. Suddenly, she spoke again, "Mr. Tang, the grand ceremony has already begun. You … Aren't you going in yet? "

Tang Jinyao looked at her with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Miss Ji, I've wasted a lot of time just to find you. Do you think I care about this grand ceremony?"

Ji Xinqing gripped her coat tightly and softly opened her mouth, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang. I-I'm not suitable to accompany you in."

Even now, the left side of her face still burned with pain.

Even without looking at the mirror, Ji Xinqing knew how terrible her current appearance was.

However, Tang Jinyao sighed and said, "I should be the one apologizing."

Ji Xinqing looked up in surprise.

"You, as my female companion, have actually become so miserable. In the end, it's still my fault. I should have accompanied you earlier on."

Ji Xinqing hurriedly shook her head and said, "Mr. Tang, you are being too courteous."

He was the one who saved her, how could she call it his fault?

"Miss Ji," said Tang Jinyao slowly, looking at her, "with your current state, you might not be able to attend the charity ceremony."

"Mm, I know. I'll be going back soon."

Despite knowing this outcome beforehand, Ji Xinqing still felt a sense of regret.

The once a year charity ceremony, just missed it.

"But Miss Ji, if you are willing, I can arrange for you to meet Tang Qing in the future."

Alone with Tang Qing … Meet?

"Is that okay?"

Tang Jin smiled and replied, "Why not? After all, it's all because of me. You can't go in there. I can't possibly let you come here for nothing."

Silently letting out a sigh of relief, Ji Xinqing pursed her lips and smiled, not rejecting Tang Jinyao's good intentions.

After bidding his farewells to Tang Yao, Ji Xinqing entered the washroom and tidied up her makeup before standing in a corner and waiting for Meng Qingyu.

The charity ceremony soon ended, and the guests left the mansion one by one.

Seeing Meng Qin Yu walk out with Shen Dian Dian Dian, Ji Xinqing's heart tightened. She forced out a smile and walked over, "Qin Yu."

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? I didn't see you at the pageant. " Meng Qingyu did not have the slightest inkling of what she had done and spoke with a matter-of-fact tone.

Charity had already ended, and Ji Xinqing did not want to get entangled with the matter of the invitation. Looking at her slightly impatient face, she said, "Qin Yu, it's already this late, you should come home with me."

Just as she finished her sentence, the silent Shen Dian suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god! Madam Meng, what's wrong with your face? "

Ji Xinqing lowered her head unnaturally. She did not want more people to know what had happened just now. She said half-heartedly, "Nothing."

However, it was clear that Shen Dian Dian Dian Dian Kui didn't want her to easily change the topic. Looking at her, he suddenly smiled, "Madam Meng, Young Master Tang is really nice to your companion. He actually let you wear his coat."

Meng Qingyu immediately threw a cold beam of light, "Eldest sister-in-law, is this Young Master Tang's coat?"

Ji Xinqing knew what Meng Qin Yu was thinking about. Afraid that she would misunderstand, she opened her mouth to explain, "Qin Yu, don't misunderstand. I just …" Something happened and that's why Mr. Tang lent me this coat. "

Meng Qingyu coldly laughed, "Eldest sister-in-law, you can go back alone tonight. I'll have to trouble you to inform Mom and Dad that I might be late tonight."

"Qin Yu —"

Meng Qingyu turned around and left while holding onto Shen Dian's hand.

Ji Xinqing had no choice but to leave alone.

However, when they walked out of the mansion, Ji Xinqing realized that the Meng Family's car had already left.

The night was cold, and she wrapped her clothes tightly around her.

The Tang Clan Residence was located in a remote area, and there was no way to get a taxi.

Ji Xinqing knew that this was the order from Meng Qin Yu.

Sighing helplessly, Ji Xinqing realized that Meng Qin Yu had misunderstood her.

She also knew that even if she had ten mouths, she wouldn't be able to withstand a single word from Shen Dian that he had deliberately slandered her with.

Meng Qingyu had always been good to her and had always harbored evil intentions. Now that things had turned out this way, it was pretty good.

At the very least, she wouldn't have to deal with a spoiled and spoiled young miss like Meng Qingyu.

However … Looking at the empty street, Ji Xinqing suddenly felt a headache.

What do we do now?

How was she going to get back?

Ji Xinqing took out her cellphone and opened the phone to find Meng Qin Guan.

However, looking at the word "husband" on the screen, Ji Xinqing still did not press the button.

She still remembered what Canon Song had said.

First love.

Ji Xinqing's heart was so empty that she kept her phone and walked along the street alone.

Not long after she left, Ji Xinqing heard the unceasing sound of a car horn ringing behind her.

Thinking that she had blocked his path, Ji Xinqing subconsciously moved to the right. However, the sound of the horn continued.

Really … Are you done yet!

Ji Xinqing turned her head in annoyance, and the car suddenly arrived beside her.

The car window rolled down, revealing the man's face. Ji Xinqing saw the corner of his lips curled up.

"Miss Ji, why are you alone?"

How to... Him again?

Ji Xinqing bit her lips, not knowing what to say.

Naturally, Tang Jinyao could tell that she was feeling a bit embarrassed, so he shot a glance at Tang Han, who was standing by her side.

Tang Han received the order to get off the car. "Miss Ji, get on."

Seeing that Ji Xinqing would refuse, Tang Han continued, "Miss Ji, it's impossible to get a taxi here. Furthermore, if you want to go back, you might not be able to do so even if you walk until tomorrow morning."

She said it so clearly that she would not be tactful if she were to continue rejecting the offer. Ji Xinqing nodded in thanks and got on the car.

The car drove up to the gate of the Meng Family compound.

Tang Han once again got out of the car and opened the car door for her. "Miss Ji, this way please."

Ji Xinqing thanked him softly once again before returning to the Meng Clan.

When Tang Han returned to his car, Tang Jinyao suddenly asked, "Have you settled the matter with that man?"

"That person has already confessed everything. He wants to use this opportunity to tarnish the Gu family's reputation. Miss Qing has already sent him to the Gu family."

"So it's like that …" Tang Jinyao turned around and glanced outside the window before smiling. "Let's go back then."

"Yes."
