Jiang Tingzhou only felt that the hand he held in his hand was as soft as boneless, and his skin was like gelatin. He leaned close to Su Meng's ear and deliberately imitated her tone of voice, "Kid, why are your hands so soft and fufu?" Speaking of soft fufu. At that time, he still couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud first.
Because he was worried about the policemen and drivers in the car, Jiang Tingzhou deliberately lowered his voice, his chest vibrated slightly, and the last sound was slightly crisp in the dim environment.
Su Meng's eyes widened in surprise. She struggled to break free. She was afraid of attracting the attention of the policewoman and the driver in front, so she didn't dare to make any big movements in the back seat. At this time, she felt Jiang Tingzhou's grip on her hand tightened. Finally, she couldn't hold it back anymore and accused him dissatisfiedly, "You're such a lewd... bad guy."
Jiang Tingzhou laughed softly twice, and the light in his eyes turned, as if the light could suddenly illuminate the silent night.
At this time, the police station just arrived.
The two got out of the car and went in to take notes.
Because Jiang Tingzhou's behavior today was originally out of justice, but he was a little harsh when he struck, so both parties were actually at fault. Fortunately, the patient was fine and could recover as long as he stayed in the hospital for a few days. Therefore, the police comrades only severely criticized and educated Jiang Tingzhou.
When I came out of the police station, it was almost late at night. Su Meng had just reported to Old Ling and his wife that she was safe at the police station. After knowing that she was fine, the old couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Meng and Jiang Tingzhou walked on the quiet street and found a place with wooden chairs to sit and wait for Ling Yucheng to pick them up from the hospital. Just when they went to the police station to take notes, Ling Yucheng was at the hospital helping to deal with the family members of the person who was beaten.
The nights in late August were not very cold. The heat of the day is no longer there, and the evening breeze brings a comfortable temperature.
Jiang Tingzhou looked up at the starless night sky, maybe because of what Ling Yucheng said today, or maybe because Su Meng was sitting next to him. He had always been in a restless mood, but for the first time he felt a sense of peace.
In fact, before Ling Yucheng left, he left another sentence when he passed by him.
What Ling Yucheng said to him was, "There is a word called settling accounts after the fall." The other party pointed out to him another way to protect the people he cares about. It is true that frontal confrontation is a way to vent your anger in person, but in fact, this is the most superficial and straightforward method, and it is also the method most likely to cause endless troubles.
When Su Meng saw Jiang Tingzhou's movements, she also raised her head. When she saw the dark sky, she blinked, "There isn't even a star."
When she was a child, she would occasionally go to her grandmother's house in the countryside. The environment in the countryside is good, and you can see twinkling stars above your head when you look up at night. It's a pity that all her family members left one after another in that earthquake, and she may never set foot in her grandmother's house again in this life.
Jiang Tingzhou retracted his gaze from the sky and looked sideways at Su Meng, who was looking up at the night sky. Her eyelashes are long and slender, and when she blinks she always has a hint of innocence that needs to be protected.
He couldn't hold it back, reached out and gently brushed her long and curly eyelashes with his fingers.
Su Meng felt it immediately. She gently slapped his hand away and glared at him, the big bad guy.
Jiang Tingzhou was silent for two seconds, rarely "bullying" her with the usual playful or lazy tone.
Her eyes are clear, simple, and full of her unique innocence.
It makes people want to...always protect her innocence.
At this time, a car stopped not far from them.
It was Ling Yucheng who came to pick them up.
After getting in the car, Jiang Tingzhou and Ling Yucheng's eyes met in the rearview mirror. The two of them tacitly agreed not to talk about the conversation just now, and they did not continue to discuss what happened in the Moon Bay Hotel just now.
Today's incident is already a turning point.
It was getting late. Su Meng was frightened at night and was already a little groggy. When she arrived at the door of Ling's house, Mr. and Mrs. Ling were already waiting there.
The two old men are already quite old. They should have been asleep at this time, but now they are still waiting anxiously at the door for their return. After seeing their figures, Su Meng's sleepiness disappeared immediately.
She worried them.
After some greetings, Su Meng turned around and realized that Jiang Tingzhou had left at some point. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Ling hurriedly let her and Ling Yucheng enter the house.
Grandma Zhang held her hand and said distressedly, "Mengmeng, you were frightened today."
Su Meng shook her head and said softly, "That person didn't succeed." There was no danger today because Jiang Tingzhou stopped the person's behavior in time.
Grandma Zhang said happily, "That's good." She glanced at the time and said, "Go back to your room early, take a shower, and then go to bed. If you're scared, just tell grandma."
Su Meng continued to shake her head and said in a gentle tone, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not afraid."
Grandma Zhang gently touched Su Meng's head and asked her to go back to her room.
After Su Meng took a bath, she fell into a sweet dream as soon as her head touched the warm and comfortable pillow.
On the other side, Jiang Tingzhou didn't sleep all night.
He sat in front of his desk with his back straight, his hands on the desk, his eyes slightly lowered, thinking about something on his mind.
He didn't turn on the light, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dark, with no light coming in.
Slowly, the sun rises little by little from the east, and the warm sunlight shines through the curtains and into the room little by little. It wasn't until the sun illuminated the entire room that he took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed his grandfather's number for the first time in his life.
Because his mother passed away early, except for his uncle, he did not have a close relationship with his grandparents on his mother's side. His grandfather only had two children, one was his uncle and the other was his mother. His younger uncle is now in his early thirties, focusing on his career and has not yet married or had children, and he is his grandfather's only grandson.
The relationship between his grandfather and grandfather was not close, because at that time, his grandfather strictly refused his mother to marry his father. Because his grandfather felt that although Jiang Guangshi looked like a human being, he was just a beast inside. Moreover, the Jiang family was actually inferior to his mother's family in terms of qualifications and status. As for his mother, she had a better choice at that time.
Because of Jiang Guangshi's incident, his mother didn't know how many times she had quarreled with his grandfather, and their quarrels became more intense every time.
In the end, his mother stubbornly married his father. And just as my grandfather expected from the beginning, Jiang Guangshi was indeed a beast in disguise, and her married life was not happy.
But my mother was high-spirited and a bit stubborn. She refused to say a nice word in front of her grandfather. For the sake of face, she never told her parents about her unhappy marriage. So until she died in an accident, she had no relationship with her grandparents. Too much contact.
Since he had little contact with his grandparents since he was a child, when his mother, the only bond, disappeared, Jiang Tingzhou had almost zero contact with his grandparents.
It was only now that he calmed down and thought about it all night, that he realized that his grandparents had never forgotten him. They had always been silently caring about him and paying attention to him.
Every time his uncle gave him strict training, and when he was at home, he would never drop the snacks that he knew were made by himself at a glance, and even when he was abroad, he would occasionally receive those snacks sent to him by his uncle. Everything shows that what he thinks is not wrong.
His uncle was just a rough soldier who was not married yet, so he could not be so careful. Now that I think about it carefully, those things should have been sent to him in the name of his uncle because they were afraid that he would reject them. And his uncle's strict training on him was just because they wanted him to become an excellent person.
He used to have no high demands on himself and the future.
Because he knows that he will never live a bad life no matter what. His mother left him an inheritance, which has been managed by professionals over the years. Every year, the portion of the money that he makes from nothing is enough for him to squander it as he pleases.
To use the words Xiao Zhan once described to him, he is young, handsome, and rich, so he can enjoy life as much as he wants without working hard.
He used to think so too.
But now, he has changed his mind.
Because once he had someone he wanted to protect, he discovered that he was so weak.
Real freedom of expression shouldn't be like what he did before.
Only when you become truly powerful can you truly do whatever you want.
At this time, the phone was answered, and an old, surprised and slightly disbelieving voice came from the other side, "Ting Zhou?"
Jiang Tingzhou clenched his phone.
The person opposite is also his blood relative in this life. Perhaps even more concerned about him than the people on his grandfather's side. It's a pity that he had always subconsciously ignored it before.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Word by word, he called the other person seriously and respectfully, "Grandpa."

Something like that just happened last night, so Su Meng didn't go out all day today.
She was going to report to the new school the day after tomorrow, so Su Meng took out the textbook for the first year of high school and prepared to preview. It happened that Ling Yucheng, the college bully, was at home recently, so she could ask him if she had any knowledge she didn't understand.
The day passed quickly. Su Meng didn't see Jiang Tingzhou today, nor heard any news about him from Mr. and Mrs. Ling, so she was a little worried for a while.
She took out her phone and discovered that Jiang Tingzhou had sent her a message a few hours ago.
Brother Jiang: I have something to deal with today. See you tomorrow.
Su Meng was relieved after receiving this text message. But I felt a little weird in my heart.
They didn't make an appointment last night either. Today, it felt a bit strange that he took the initiative to inform her of the itinerary.
After staying at home for a day, Su Meng was kicked out by Granny Zhang the next day.
"Mengmeng, study is important, but health is also important. I have been staying at home all the time. Let's take the 'armored soldier' out for a walk."
Su Meng took the "armored soldier's" traction rope from Granny Zhang, and was pulled out of the house by the "armored soldier".
As soon as she went out, she saw a man and a dog standing at the door.
The dog is a majestic big black back that I have seen before.
The people seemed to be the same as before, but something was different.
After Su Meng pursed her lips and approached, she discovered that Jiang Tingzhou had a large tattoo on his right arm exposed under his short sleeves.
"You got a tattoo?"
Jiang Tingzhou held Black's back with one hand and put one hand in his pocket. He tilted his head slightly, his black earrings dazzling, and he pondered for two seconds before replying, "That's right."
Su Meng stepped forward a little strangely, "What tattoo did you get?" You actually got the tattoo on your entire right arm
When she took two steps closer, she could clearly see the pattern on his right arm.
The tattoo he got was of a girl.
Wearing a yellow dress and a cartoon mask on her face, she has big eyes and long eyelashes...
this person…
It seems to be her.
