Chapter 20:

Ling Yucheng's expression remained unchanged.
In fact, what Jiang Tingzhou said was correct.
There are not many things in this world that he can care about. His parents' affairs are one thing, and his scientific research is considered to be the largest among them. As for Su Meng, he is really not in the category that he cares about.
Because of the education he has received since childhood, he can maintain his gentlemanly demeanor anytime and anywhere, and treat others with a degree of advancing and retreating. But he wouldn't dig his heart out to someone for no reason.
He didn't have much contact with Su Meng.
This is the second time he and her have met. For the first time, in the video, the two greeted roughly.
He only remembered her name. As for the others, he didn't care about it. Because he has too many things to keep in mind, and scientific research has occupied most of his day, so he really has no time to take care of a child that his parents have just adopted.
Bringing her out for a meal today was only entrusted by her mother.
It's just that I didn't expect that the first time I took her out to meet a friend for dinner, she would be in trouble.
Ling Yucheng pondered for two seconds, and said word by word, "I can understand you, but I don't agree with what you did. Maybe you did get out of breath for a while, but have you ever thought that there might be endless troubles after exhalation? Knowing that your original intention was to protect her, but your impulse protection may eventually hurt her."
Jiang Tingzhou sneered nonchalantly. He casually leaned against the white wall of the corridor, with his hands on his chest. The peachy eyes that appeared to be romantic and willful, at the moment, his eyes are full of indifference, "I, Jiang, do things and do things the other day. She will never be implicated and hurt her a little bit."
Ling Yucheng frowned slightly. In any case, he brought Su Meng out tonight. If something happened to Su Meng just now, he would not only be responsible, but also his parents would not be good at dealing with each other.
This time Jiang Tingzhou helped protect Su Meng, and he owed Jiang Tingzhou a love.
He doesn't like to owe favors, he wants to pay back what he owes others on the spot. Thinking of this, Ling Yucheng sighed, patiently, and continued, "If that person was really beaten to death by you just now, and you have suffered a lawsuit, what do you think will happen to Su Meng? Will it become a burden to her? Will she blame herself? Will it fall into pain? Will it... affect her original life trajectory?"
Hearing these words, Jiang Tingzhou suddenly recalled the tears that Su Meng was afraid of just now, and how hard she held him with her wrists when she prevented him from beating.
Thinking of all of this, Jiang Tingzhou's eyes darkened.
"Speaking further, you want to protect her, but when you enter the bureau, who will protect her? I have parents, academic career, and my own responsibilities, so even if she calls me Uncle, I can tell you responsibly now that I won't do what you just did, and neither will my parents."
Because in the old couple's mind, he is the most important one.
Jiang Tingzhou suddenly guessed what Ling Yucheng was saying. He gave Ling Yucheng a blank expression.
Ling Yucheng waved his hand casually, "You don't have to look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth."
Jiang Tingzhou lowered his eyes, his arms hung slightly on his sides, his hands were clenched into fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were somewhat exposed. He gritted his teeth, "If something really happens, I can still let my grandpa..."
Ling Yucheng interrupted him quietly and nonchalantly, shredding his beautiful fantasy with a cruel and reality, "Don't think about it, so many people were on the scene just now, this matter is absolutely irrepressible. What's more, you still have so many half-brothers and sisters here, they are excellent and sensible. In other words, you did not let the Jiang family give up all the value for you."
Because he was just an existence who had lost his mother and father's love early, and was regarded as a thorn in the eye by his stepmother and half-brothers, it was not of much value, so even his closest grandfather, weighing the pros and cons, Nor would he give everything to the Jiang family and only protect him.
He can only rely on himself.
The truth hurts. These words poke open the most secret scar in Jiang Tingzhou's heart.
But there is also an idiom called loyalty against ears. In order to pay back the favor, Ling Yucheng said to Jiang Tingzhou tonight without reservation.
Jiang Tingzhou was silent for a while.
Ling Yucheng said too much to him tonight, and his heart was a little complicated, confused, and at a loss. But from the bottom of his heart, he felt that Ling Yucheng was right.
No one has ever said this to him, and no one has ever taught him how to become a good person.
He is naturally longing for freedom, unfettered, and has blood flowing in his bones, so he can live as he wants now.
But today this incident told him that it was too arbitrary, and in the end it may not only be him, but it may also cause trouble to the people he cares about.
Ling Yucheng watched Jiang Tingzhou quietly for two seconds.
He knew that the other party still needed time to digest the words just now, so he took the lead and walked to the door of the operating room.
Jiang Tingzhou hesitated for two seconds, and finally followed.
At this time, the door of the operating room just opened, and a group of doctors and nurses pushed the patient out of the operating room.
When Su Meng saw it, she hurried forward a few steps and asked anxiously, "Is he okay?"
The doctor pushed the glasses on his face and said dutifully, "Thanks to the professional first aid after the patient was injured, and the timely rescue, the patient is now out of danger."
Although Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief, she was still worried, "Then will he have sequelae in the future?"
The doctor smiled, "Don't worry, there will be no sequelae. When the patient is cured, there will be no difference from before."
It wasn't until after hearing the doctor's words that Su Meng's heart that had been hanging tightly just now slowly fell to its original place.
The patient is okay, so good...
As soon as Su Meng turned around, she saw Ling Yucheng and Jiang Tingzhou standing not far away.
She walked up to them a few steps and couldn't help repeating the good news that she had just learned. She said with a strong grateful tone, "It's great, the doctor said the patient is fine!"
After speaking, she turned to Ling Yucheng and said sincerely, "Uncle, thank you friend just now."
Ling Yucheng waved his hand gently, "It's okay."
While several people were talking, several policemen came to find someone.
In fact, a police officer said, "Who was fighting at the Moon Bay Hotel just now?"
Jiang Tingzhou took a big step forward, "It's me."
"Okay, then you come to the police station with us."
Su Meng watched Jiang Tingzhou being taken away by the two policemen, pursed her lips, stepped forward, and said anxiously, "I am also one of the parties!"
A policewoman turned around and gave her a strange look.
Facing these few policemen who had never been in contact before, Su Meng was actually a little nervous, but she knew that this was not the time for her to shrink.
So she took a deep breath and explained earnestly, "The patient who was rescued, in the hotel just now, was frivolous in words and actions. Both the waiter and the surveillance can testify. He..." Then, Su Meng pointed Jiang Tingzhou with his finger, and then explained, "He hit people to protect me."
When the police heard this, the policewoman said, "Then you also go with us."
When Jiang Tingzhou heard Su Meng's explanation to the police, his eyes trembled, "Children..."
Su Meng and Ling Yucheng said a few words, then ran to Jiang Tingzhou's side, "Let's go."
The experience of riding a police car for the first time is actually very novel. Except that the police car is equipped with something to prevent prisoners from escaping, it is actually no different from riding in other private cars.
Perhaps because of the familiar people sitting next to him, Su Meng's feeling of tension after facing the police was a little less.
The car moved forward smoothly.
The policewoman sitting in the front co-pilot turned her head and said with emotion, "The young man looks white and pure. I didn't expect that he was really ruthless when he started."
The driver joked as he drove, "You can't look good."
Because today's incident is not a major event compared with ordinary criminal cases, the driver's mood is also relatively relaxed.
Jiang Tingzhou leaned his back on the seat and lowered his head slightly, with a cold expression, rarely refuted.
If it were changed before, he would have been blown up on the spot if he heard other people's comments on him so casually, especially on his appearance.
But what Ling Yucheng said to him tonight, although he still needs a certain amount of time to digest it, it still had a certain impact on him.
What's more, Su Meng was still sitting next to him, they were all still in the police car, and there were two policemen beside him.
So now is not a good time for him to act handsome impulsively.
Jiang Tingzhou was silent on the side.
Su Meng heard the policewoman say that Jiang Tingzhou had acted ruthlessly. After thinking about it, she explained to him, "Sister police, the patient is out of danger, and there will be no sequelae."
The policewoman smiled, "Don't worry, we already know the patient's condition."
Su Meng was a little confused about the other party's meaning, and asked anxiously, "Then the plot now...should not be considered serious?"
The young policewoman replied "not serious" and couldn't help but glanced at the delicate face of the boy sitting in the back seat of the car.
At this moment, his entire face is hidden in the dark, so the outline of his face looks a little fuzzy. But there is a saying, "Looking at a beauty under the light, the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes." This sentence also applies when you change to the current situation.
Looking at a handsome guy in a dim environment is another beauty. Just now that he was innocent, it was just that she had a poor word.
How could his appearance be described as pure and innocent?
Obviously it looks like a playboy's face, but it does not seem to have a character that matches it.
Such boys are becoming more attractive. Because he is easy to raise the heart of inquiry.
Thinking about this, the young policewoman couldn't help but glance back at Jiang Tingzhou.
Jiang Tingzhou had actually noticed the policewoman peeking at him several times.
He had seen too many such gazes, so he didn't care at first, but the more times, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Jiang Tingzhou raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the female policeman in the front seat indifferently, and then under the other's eyelids, he moved aside Su Meng's hand very naturally.
When he touched Su Meng's fingertips before, Jiang Tingzhou discovered that her fingertips were extremely soft. At this moment, after holding Su Meng's hand, Jiang Tingzhou discovered for the first time that her hand was so soft and so small that it was completely different from the touch of his own hand.
After seeing Jiang Tingzhou's natural action, the young policewoman quickly flashed a touch of surprise and disappointment.
