Strong and powerful

Jiang family.

Holding the fruit in her hand, Xu Jiao rang the doorbell of Jiang Yan's house.

After the college entrance examination, Shen Siji went out to play with friends all day long, and there was no one in sight. Xu Jiao could only visit Jiang Yan by herself.

When Wang Ma heard the doorbell, she rushed to open the door, and led Xu Jiao into Jiang Yan's bedroom door.

After Jiang Yan came back from that day, although she was protected by Li Tianye, she didn't suffer any physical injuries, but she always had nightmares, so she rested at home all the time.

Xu Jiao walked to the door of Jiang Yan's bedroom and knocked on the door.

There is no response.

Xu Jiao looked at Wang Ma suspiciously.

"Miss Jiang has been in the room all the time, try knocking on the door again." Wang Ma said to Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao nodded obediently, raised her hand and knocked on the door again.

"Come in." Jiang Yan's voice finally came from inside.

Xu Jiao pushed open Jiang Yan's bedroom door. Jiang Yan was lying on the bed, the thick gray curtains were half drawn, and the room looked a little dark.

"Sister Xiaoyan, how are you?" Xu Jiao asked softly.

"It's fine, I'm fine."

Jiang Yan smiled to reassure Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao looked at Jiang Yan carefully, and it seemed that apart from the heavy dark circles under her eyes, there was really no other problem.

"That's good." Xu Jiao nodded, not mentioning Jiang Qing at all.

Xu Jiao bowed her head in silence for a while, then raised her head firmly to look at Jiang Yan.

"Has Li Yun visited you recently?"

The moment Jiang Yan heard what Xu Jiao said, her expression froze for a moment, and her eyes flicked across the curtain beside her inadvertently.

"No." Jiang Yan's answer was firm and a little stiff.

"Oh."

The expression on Xu Jiao's face was somewhat complicated, and Jiang Yan couldn't tell whether the expression on her face was loss or relief for a moment, and it seemed that the two were mixed.

"That's good. I haven't been able to contact him recently. I thought I did something wrong."

Xu Jiao let out a breath slowly, as if she had let go of a heavy burden in her heart.

Jiang Yan frowned, a question suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Do you like Li Yun?"

The question in Jiang Yan's mind blurted out, and the curtains moved, like a breeze.

Xu Jiao was a little surprised when she heard this question, she stared at Jiang Yan with a pair of black eyes, faintly flustered.

"I just think he treats me very well. If I do something to disappoint him, I will feel a little guilty." Xu Jiao said after taking a deep breath.

"I see."

Ever since Jiang Yan asked this question, Xu Jiao has been absent-minded and left Jiang's house within a few minutes.

After Xu Jiao closed the door, Jiang Yan's room was extraordinarily quiet.

Not long after, the gray curtains were pulled open, Li Yun stood in the sun with stubble on his face, heavy bags under his eyes, red eye circles, and a shadow in front of him.

Growing up under the aura of being the only seedling of the Li family since childhood, and with his own good skin, Li Yun has always been extremely delicate when attending various occasions, and the shirt on his body has never had a wrinkle.

It was the first time he was so haggard.

"She still wants to see you very much." Jiang Yan pursed her lips and said.

Xu Jiao's answer kept circling in Li Yun's mind, which made his head hurt.

"She is still young, maybe she doesn't see her own mind so clearly." Jiang Yan continued.

"There's no need to say any more." Li Yun said, his voice a little hoarse.

"We are people from two worlds. It's better for me to disturb her less."

Looking at the stubborn expression on Li Yun's face, Jiang Yan knew that he felt uncomfortable because of what Xu Jiao said just now, so she said that.

Li Yun couldn't help but want to see Xu Jiao, but he never had the chance.

"She just finished the exam, and she finally has time." Jiang Yan said earnestly.

The corner of Li Yun's mouth was downcast, his eyes were empty and he didn't answer Jiang Yan's words.

Li Yun believed that no one looked forward to the summer vacation after Xu Jiao finished her college entrance examination more than him.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath: "Xu Jiao's matter has nothing to do with you, it's all about Jiang Qing."

Jiang Yan's words were halfway through, and she didn't continue.

Li Yun looked up at Jiang Yan, his thin eyelids were creased, and his eyes were deep.

Looking at Jiang Yan's expression, she knew what Jiang Yan was thinking.

"You don't have to feel guilty. I met Xu Jiao at Jiang Qing's wedding. If I hadn't married Jiang Qing, I wouldn't have met Xu Jiao."

"Even if I'm suffering in pain, I never regret meeting Xu Jiao. If I do it again, no matter how painful the future is, I still want to meet Xu Jiao." Li Yun said firmly.

Jiang Yan's eye sockets were a little moist.

Jiang Yan has known about Li Yun's existence for a long time, and Li Yun has always been a playful and affectionate image in Jiang Yan's heart.

Now that Li Yun said such words in front of Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that the Li Yun she had heard about and the Li Yun in front of her eyes had split into two people.

After Li Yun left Jiang Yan's house, Jiang Yan couldn't stay in her bed anymore, put on her clothes, and left Jiang's house.

The painting has returned to her hands, and it is currently stored in Shen Man's bedroom before his death. Jiang Yan still doesn't know how the painting got into Jiang Qing's hands. She wants to go to Li Qitao to see if there are any clues.

Jiang Yan went straight to Li Qitao's studio, but the outside of Li Qitao's studio was extremely lively today, with several cars parked.

The most conspicuous of them was the car that was exactly the same as Kang Meihui.

Jiang Yan saw from outside the studio that there seemed to be a lot of people inside.

There was no special activity in the studio today, so Jiang Yan walked into the studio.

When Jiang Yan just walked into the studio, she heard a commotion.

"You can't be so rude, these are works of art, you are going too far."

Jiang Yan recognized this voice as one of Li Qitao's students. Just by the voice alone, Jiang Yan could feel how badly the veins on his neck were collapsing.

Jiang Yan walked towards the group of people gathered together.

Those people turned around and heard Jiang Yan's footsteps, turned around and saw Jiang Yan, and made way for her.

"Kang Meihui?"

Jiang Yan yelled out in surprise after seeing the person who took the lead in making trouble.

It seems that Jiang Yan was not mistaken, the car at the door belonged to Kang Meihui.

Kang Meihui glanced at Jiang Yan up and down, then reached out to fiddle with her hair, with a faint smile on her face.

"What a coincidence." Kang Meihui said.

Looking at Kang Meihui's appearance, Jiang Yan knew that what she wanted to express was not that simple without asking.

Jiang Yan ignored Kang Meihui, and her eyes fell on Li Qitao.

The students behind Li Qitao flushed with anger, and Li Qitao's appearance was not much better than them. This was the first time Jiang Yan saw such a ferocious expression on Li Qitao's face.
