Volume 1 Entertainment Circle Chapter 36 A Scolding
Just been scolded by the Kyoto Association, Tong Jing was still a bit used to it, but suddenly being reprimanded by Tan Jieyan with such an icy tone, Tong Jing was stunned, her small face lifted in confusion, her eyes staring blankly at Tan Jieyan's stern face.
"Did he...?" The rest of the words were stuck in Tan Jieyan's throat, as if it was blocked. A huge anger was tangled together, making Tan Jieyan lose his usual calmness and composure. He suddenly turned his face away, his hands clenched tightly to suppress the violent flames of rage. His scalded hand, which had been burned by the boiling coffee, began to seep blood due to his tight fist. Tan Jieyan glanced at it, his face becoming even more gloomy and embarrassed.
Tan Jieyan's face was really bad at this moment, he was born with a cold temperament, and now his thin lips were tightly pursed, his sharp face was covered with frost, and his originally calm and quiet phoenix eyes were filled with raging anger, the terrifying expression made people feel numb all over when they saw it.
"I'm fine, I just took a bath in Mu Ge's suite." It seemed like she understood something, and Tong Jiao's face gradually revealed a smile. For the first time, she felt that Tan Jieyan's furious face was so handsome and pleasing to the eye. He was worried about her, cared about her, which is why he lost control and got angry.
When Tan Jieyan heard Tong Qiang's words, he felt a little relieved, but when his eyes swept across the smile on Tong Qiang's face, the anger that had not been extinguished suddenly flared up again. If at first he was angry because Tong Qiang himself got involved in danger, then now the overwhelming and inexplicable indignation was pouring down like a storm.
"Did you take a bath? Tong Jiang, don't you know how dark the entertainment industry is? You just came out of Liu Kang's place and went to Mu Fang's suite. Are you so trusting of this man, or did you prepare yourself for being taken advantage of, so you don't care about spending the night at another man's home?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Tan Jieyan knew he had gone too far, especially when he saw Tong Qiang's face turn pale for a moment. However, Tan Jieyan was not in a good mood, and it was the first time in so many years that he lost control like this.
Tan's family is a military family, Tan Jiaoyan was in the army since he was three years old, under the strict rules of Old Master Tan, he grew up with self-control, introversion and seriousness. This was Tan Jiaoyan when he was young. Tan Jiaoyan's excellence made Old Master Tan very satisfied, so it was also from Tan Jiaoyan that the Tan family truly entered politics.
Since ancient times, the military has not interfered with politics on the surface. The Tan family sent this most valued younger generation into the political circle, and under this move, Tan Jiaoyan bore an unusually heavy burden. The disdain of people in the political circle, the expectations of the Tan family, made Tan Jiaoyan's path very difficult over the years.
But he stepped into the center of political power, and Tan Jieyan became more and more silent, with no expression on his face. The wise and quiet black eyes contained a maturity and worldliness that did not belong to a young man, and in all these years, Tan Jieyan had rarely lost control.
Tong Ying's face turned pale, her original joyful mood vanished without a trace, her heart aching dully, with the feeling of falling from heaven to hell. This made Tong Ying want to open her mouth to defend herself, but her throat was as if blocked by cotton balls.
Was she really that despicable in his eyes? Tong Jiao turned her face to look at the night outside the car window. She had always been indifferent to others' opinions, having her own set of principles and standards. Other people's words rarely hurt Tong Jiao, and as long as they didn't touch her bottom line, she was even overly gentle and tolerant.
But Tong Jiang was really uncomfortable at this moment, Tan Jieyan's severe scolding voice still echoed in her ears, the sour feeling in her chest was very unfamiliar, and her eyes were slightly painful, but they were dry without a single tear.
She has long passed the age of shedding tears, no matter how painful or difficult it is, she will hold it in her heart, and on the surface, it's as if nothing has happened. This may be the sorrow of being an adult. When children are hurt, they cry and scream in pain, but when they grow up, no matter how bitter or tired they are, they can only silently endure.
The atmosphere in the car was tense and eerie, Guan Yao drove steadily, his eyes glanced through the rearview mirror at Tang Jieyan, who was shocked to see him get angry. Guan Yao and Tang Jieyan had been friends since childhood, and in Guan Yao's memory, Tang Jieyan was someone who wouldn't frown even if the sky fell, but just now he suddenly got furious and coldly scolded Tong Liang.
Yi Ran Garden has arrived, the security guard of the community took a look and lowered the car window after recognizing the familiar face inside, opened the door to let the car enter the community.
"I'll go back first." Opening the car door, Tong Jiao looked at Tan Jieyan, still with that tight and cold face, sideways to herself, in the dimly lit car, her whole person was in the shadows, aloof and distant, making Tong Jiao feel a sour feeling stuck in her chest.
"Ji Yan, I'll send you back. You need to put some medicine on your hand." Guan Yao suddenly spoke up as Tong Jiao was about to close the car door, fortunately Tan Jiyan had Yu Jing this diligent secretary, knowing that Tan Jiyan wouldn't mind the scalding caused by coffee on his hand, so he called himself.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Tong Jing was about to close the car door and leave, but when he heard Guan Yao's words, he couldn't help but look at Tan Jieyan's hand. Although it was very dark in the car, the large patch of scalding on the back of his hand still caught Tong Jing's eye.
Tong Qiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and compared to being scolded by Tan Jieyan just now, all his thoughts were focused on the injured hand of Tan Jieyan. The back of the hand was severely burned, with the skin seemingly about to peel off, revealing fresh red flesh that was subtly oozing blood. When he was cut by the dagger earlier, Tong Qiang didn't feel anything, but now it felt as if the pain was on his own soft heart.
"I'll go let the doctor handle it, drive and turn off the lights." Tan Jieyan had already regained his composure, his low and calm voice now carrying a commanding tone. He turned his gaze to look at Tong Ying standing by the car and said coldly, "You can go back now."
As the words fell, the car door had already closed, and through the glass window, Tan Jieyan could see Tong Qiang standing dejectedly in place, but Tong Qiang couldn't see Tan Jieyan's cold face inside the car.
"Guang Yao!" Tan Jieyan's tone became even more urgent, and under his prompting, Guang Yao reluctantly started the car. He was already used to his good friend's coldness; over the years, Jieyan would never allow any unexpected people or events to appear in his life, and once he discovered something was off, he would immediately correct it and let everything return to its original track.
In the darkness, the car drove smoothly out of the compound and left Tong Guang's line of sight. Winter was a bit cold, especially on such a deep night. Tong Guang only wore a bathrobe with a coat wrapped outside, and the chill seemed to have grown eyes, desperately drilling into her bones.
