Volume 1 Entertainment Circle Chapter 62 Supermarket Scatter

  More than ten minutes later. Outside the supermarket.

  Li Cheng quickly stopped the car in the newly vacated parking space. It was year-end, and there were too many people buying New Year's goods. Looking from afar, the supermarket entrance was crowded with people pushing against each other, a sea of black heads as far as the eye could see.

  "Li Cheng accompanied Xiao Tong on a trip." Tan Jieyan felt that his deputy mayor identity was too special for the first time, so he simply couldn't accompany Tong Tong to get off the bus and go to the supermarket to buy vegetables.

  "No need, I can go myself." Tong Jing hastily shook her head, her small face had been red and puffy since Tan Jieyan held her hand, tender and delicate like a juicy apple, making people want to reach out and pinch it.

  "Let Li Cheng accompany you, there are too many people." Tan Jieyan spoke again, his deep phoenix eyes looking at Tong Jiang with an unrefusable gaze. There were too many people, not to mention it was too crowded, and Tan Jieyan didn't trust Tong Jiang either, whether it was the Liu family or Cheng Tian Nan.

  "Oh, okay." Tang Jiayang's words were filled with concern, and Tong Qiang no longer refused. As he looked at Tang Jiayang finally letting go of his hand to let him get out of the car, for a moment, he felt a slight sense of loss.

  After getting off the car, Li Chenghu stood beside Tong Guang, and there were really too many people on this side of the supermarket. Almost everyone was squeezing in with their bodies, the noise was deafening, and Tong Guang felt a bit uncomfortable, only feeling that her ears were slightly painful, so she quickened her pace a little.

  In the back seat of the car, Tan Jieyan looked through the window at Tong Ying disappearing into the crowd, his hand slowly tightening around Tong Ying's large hand. Although Grandpa hadn't urged them in the past two years, the meaning had already been conveyed - a man should get married when he comes of age and a woman should get married when she grows up. But what about Tong Ying?

  Tan Jiyuan's cold face couldn't help but curve into a smile, she really looked like a child who would never grow up. But in an instant, Tan Jiyuan furrowed his brow again, thinking of Tong Jing's current identity, neither the military Tan family nor the political Tan family could accept an artist's identity.

  But Tan Jieyan didn't want to force Tong Ying to give up this job. For more than five years, Tong Ying had been too quiet, and even after graduating from university, she hadn't looked for a job. Now, if acting was Tong Ying's interest, Tan Jieyan didn't want to deprive her of it. However, thinking about these things was still premature. Tan Jieyan withdrew his thoughts and began discussing work with Yu Jing in the passenger seat.

  The third floor of the supermarket is a vegetable specialty counter, and many vegetables are cut and packed in plastic lunch boxes. Even meat and ginger are paired together, you can buy them back, wash them, and cook them directly. There are also many cooked foods, but they have all gone cold, Tong Jing doesn't want them very much. After selecting some vegetables, she picked a live carp that was jumping around vigorously, which will be the only non-vegetarian dish for tonight. If not, stir-frying some meat and scrambled eggs would also be fine.

  The supermarket was too crowded, with aunties and mothers pushing carts and carrying shopping baskets in front of the counter, picking and choosing. In the chaos, Li Cheng, who had been protecting Tong Jiao's side, was squeezed away by the crowd. It wasn't that Li Cheng was incompetent; he was a qualified and excellent bodyguard who had followed Tan Jiayan for years without ever putting him in danger. But this was his first time encountering so many people, all of whom were women, squeezing and pushing, and poor Li Cheng was squeezed away.

  Miss Tong, where did she go? Li Cheng tiptoed and looked around quickly. His originally silly face was a bit red at this moment, and he didn't know if it was because there were too many people or the warm air in the supermarket made him hot, or because he couldn't see Tong Jing anywhere.

  Li Cheng didn't care that he was surrounded by women and used his height advantage to force his way into the crowd. However, after more than ten minutes of searching around this side of the counter, he still couldn't see Tong Jiang's figure. In the meantime, he was even glared at fiercely by two middle-aged women who scolded him a few times.

  Dialing Tong's phone, but in the midst of such noise, there were also occasional supermarket loudspeaker sounds, making it impossible to hear the phone ring. Unable to find Tong, Li Cheng's face turned extremely awkward. His own dereliction of duty prompted Li Cheng to quickly dial Tan Jieyan's phone. The voice was a bit loud and urgent, but on the other end of the line, Tan Jieyan barely heard clearly that Tong and Li had become separated.

  Tan Jiyuan gazed at the crowded entrance of the supermarket from afar, worried that Tongyuan would get lost, especially thinking that both the Liu family and Cheng Tianan seemed to have set their sights on her. His stern face turned icy cold with displeasure at Li Cheng's dereliction of duty.

  "It's just too crowded, let Li Cheng wait at the supermarket checkout." Yu Jing turned her head from the passenger seat to look at Tan Jieyan, collecting his worried expression into her eyes. She had been following Tan Jieyan for some time now, but this was indeed the first time she saw him shed his usual calm and collected demeanor, revealing a anxious and concerned side.

  Yes, it's just that they were separated. The Liu family and Cheng Tian Nan didn't know that Tong Jiang would be at the supermarket, it was just his own imagination. But thinking of Tong Jiang's occasionally silly appearance, saying she was 22 years old and a university graduate, but in Tan Jieyan's eyes, Tong Jiang seemed as simple as a child, he couldn't help but worry again.

  "I'll go take a look." Tan Jieyan said as he opened the car door and got out, his long legs striding quickly towards the supermarket before Jing could even open her mouth to stop him.

  There were too many people, and those who came to buy New Year's goods were basically all uncles and aunts, so under the crowded conditions of people rubbing shoulders with each other, no one noticed that the man in the black windbreaker with a straight figure was actually the Deputy Mayor of Beijing.
