Chapter 102 Jiang Xingyao's Trump Card

The plane landed in Beijing.

Shen Mingsu came to pick up Shen Ying. When Jiang Xingyao saw her, she wanted to say hello, but Jin Qingyu forcibly shoved her into the car.

Seeing this scene from afar, Shen Mingsu couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

"Worried about Xingyao?" Shen Ying teased in a low voice.

Shen Ming said, "That woman surnamed Jin is unpredictable. I'm worried about Xingyao coming back this time..."

“I don’t think you need to worry. Xingyao has changed a lot recently. I don’t think that guy surnamed Jin can control her.” Shen Ying said reassuringly, and handed the luggage to Shen Mingsu. “Take my things back for me. I have something to do.”

"Go see him again?" Shen Mingsu frowned, his tone disapproving.

Shen Ying said, "Some things should be put to rest; dragging them on like this isn't a solution."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Shen Ming asked.

“This is a matter between him and me, and I can handle it myself.”

…

The Bentley drove towards Xiyuan. When the car stopped, Jin Qingyu tried to use the same trick again and carried Jiang Xingyao out of the car.

The gates of Xiyuan Garden suddenly opened.

Grandpa Jin stood at the door, his sharp eyes sweeping over: "Ayu, what do you want to do?"

Jin Qingyu was taken aback: "Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Without the old man saying anything, Jiang Xingyao got out of the car and walked up to him: "Grandpa, have you been waiting for a long time? I brought you a gift from Gangcheng, and I'll give it to you in a bit."

As she spoke, she took the old man's hand and led him directly into the house.

Jin Qingyu stood at the door, watching the two people's backs, his eyes filled with gloom.

Jiang Xingyao, his wife, is really something. After returning home, she was so wary of him that she even brought her grandfather over as a shield beforehand.

He thought that by getting Jiang Xingyao's documents, he could make her obediently come back with him, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xingyao would still trick him.

When Jin Qingyu entered the house, the grandfather and grandson were chatting happily on the sofa.

Lin's mother was also there, diligently serving tea and water, which made Jin Qingyu frown as he watched.

He had never seen Lin's mother so attentive when he was at home by himself before.

Jiang Xingyao wasn't really good at initiating conversations; it was mostly the old man who asked questions, and she would answer.

The old man knew perfectly well that Jiang Xingyao had called him over only because of problems in her marital relationship with Jin Qingyu.

Jiang Xingyao didn't bring these things up, so the old man didn't ask.

Even after seeing the injuries on Jin Qingyu's body, the old man's expression did not show any curiosity.

That evening, Jiang Xingyao asked the old man to stay at Xiyuan, and he did not refuse.

Only Jin Qingyu kept glancing at Jiang Xingyao with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

The old man went to bed early; not long after dinner, he went to rest.

Jin Qingyu stopped Jiang Xingyao, who was about to go upstairs, and said, "Mrs. Jin, you're quite capable, using Grandpa to guard against me. Do you think he can guard against me for the rest of your life?"

Don't forget, we're husband and wife, even if he's grandfather..."

"How can you be so sure that my only trump card is my grandfather?" Jiang Xingyao asked.

Her hands were behind her back, and the lit phone screen was still displaying the text message interface.

The text message was sent half an hour ago.

"What do you mean? What have you done now? Jiang Xingyao, I really don't understand, how long are you going to make a scene over such a trivial matter? You..."

Before the aggressive questioning could be finished, a commotion broke out outside, along with loud knocking on the door, and He Qifeng's voice: "Qingyu, Qingyu, you're back, aren't you? You should go see Jiang Cancan right away; she's been detained for several days."

The Shen family is like a mad dog, relentlessly pursuing her. Only your intervention can get her out.

Because he was in such a hurry, He Qifeng did not lower his voice, and the loud noise seemed to echo throughout the entire Xiyuan Garden.

Jin Qingyu's face was ashen, and he looked at Jiang Xingyao with a probing gaze: "Did you do this too?"

“President Jin has traveled all the way back from Hong Kong, and you haven’t seen your sweetheart for so long. I’m just trying to help you out to ease your longing. Shouldn’t you thank me?” Jiang Xingyao said.

She leaned against the stair railing, her eyebrows and eyes haughty and arrogant, her voice languid, as if she regarded it all as just a performance.

Her posture made Jin Qingyu very uncomfortable. He felt as if she had completely detached herself from the position of Mrs. Jin.

After all, Jiang Xingyao would get angry and argue with him when Jiang Cancan was mentioned before, instead of pushing him away like this now.

She even relied on He Qifeng, whom she didn't like.

The knocking on the door continued incessantly.

Jiang Xingyao reminded him again: "President Jin, aren't you going to go and take a look?"

"You've spoiled your little mistress rotten, treating her like a princess. She's been in jail for so many days, aren't you worried she'll be thirsty, hungry, or hurt?"

Jin Qingyu's face was filled with unbearable irritation.

He hesitated for a moment: "Aunt Lin, go and send Young Master He away."

Lin Ma went out, but returned shortly after, accompanied by He Qifeng, who had barged in.

As soon as He Qifeng entered the room, he saw Jiang Xingyao. He said, "Qingyu, I heard before that you were looking for her everywhere. I didn't want to believe it, but now it seems to be true."

Are you planning to ignore Jiang Cancan because of her?

The Shen family accused Jiang Cancan of hiring someone to commit murder, yet she's still standing here perfectly fine. Why should Jiang Cancan go to jail?

Besides, this is only the Shen family's side of the story. It's not even certain if someone framed Jiang Cancan. Are you sure you're just going to abandon Jiang Cancan?

Jiang Xingyao knew He Qifeng too well; she had long known that she wouldn't hear anything nice from him. But when she heard his morally bankrupt questioning, she still felt as if her heart had been stabbed.

It turns out that as long as the victim is still standing, even a crime like hiring someone to commit murder can be forgiven in his mind. It's really ridiculous.

She is perfectly fine, but what about her child?

Who can give her back her child?

"He family brat, who gave you the face to run wild in front of my granddaughter-in-law?"

According to you, since Jiang Cancan harmed Qingyu's wife, Qingyu should disregard his wife's grievances and go to save Jiang Cancan.

If that's really the case, I think I don't want this grandson anymore. Protecting the murderer who hurt his wife is worse than an animal.

The loud noise He Qifeng made eventually alerted the old man.

The old man strode out of the room, beckoned to Jiang Xingyao, and led her directly behind him.

He Qifeng's anti-Heavenly Gang words made him so angry that his hand holding the cane trembled. He wished he could just crack open He Qifeng's head and see what was inside.

"Grandpa Jin, what are you doing here?" He Qifeng didn't react for a moment and asked hesitantly. Then he looked at Jiang Xingyao and said, "It's you. You have such a vicious mind."

Just so that Qingyu would ignore Jiang Cancan, she deliberately complained to him while the old man was at Xiyuan?

"Jiang Xingyao, I think the incident at the swimming pool was clearly your own doing—you jumped in and deliberately framed Jiang Cancan!"

Although He Qifeng's questioning was harsh, Jiang Xingyao could tolerate it until now, when she heard his speculation.

Without any hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped He Qifeng across the face.

The price she paid for falling into the water was so heavy that it could weigh her down for the rest of her life.

No one, regardless of who they are, has the right to make unwarranted speculations about her in that matter.

The crisp sound echoed in the room, startling everyone present.

He Qifeng covered his face, even more incredulous: "Jiang Xingyao, what's wrong with you? How dare you hit me?"

The old man was also slightly taken aback, but when he heard He Qifeng's question, he quickly snorted coldly: "So what if I hit you? Yaoyao is my Jin family's granddaughter-in-law and the owner of this house. You come to her house and point fingers at her. Even if I break your arms and legs and throw you out, it's still her legitimate self-defense."

After yelling at He Qifeng, the old man turned to Jin Qingyu and said, "Look at you, you blind and stupid bastard! What kind of friends do you associate with? What are you standing there for? Someone insulted your wife, and you just stood by and watched?"

"Why aren't you getting rid of this thing that came from who-knows-where in Xiyuan right now?"

"Grandpa..." Jin Qingyu wanted to say something, but the old man interrupted him again: "I knew you couldn't be relied on. Butler, call security. From now on, every time you see this guy surnamed He, kick him out. Don't let him step into Xiyuan."

He Qifeng was quickly dragged away, and Xiyuan fell silent once again.

There was a long silence from Jin Qingyu, as if he hadn't yet come to his senses.

The old man warned again, "I'm going to settle accounts with Jiang Cancan for causing my granddaughter-in-law to fall into the water. If you get involved in this matter again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The old man quickly returned to his room. Jin Qingyu frowned and looked at Jiang Xingyao: "What exactly are you planning?"

Why call He Qifeng over and put on such a show just to test whether he'll go to save Jiang Cancan?

If that were all, it would be fine, but Jin Qingyu felt that Jiang Xingyao had changed a lot this time.

It made him a little uneasy, as if something was about to slip out of his control.

"Instead of worrying about this, why don't you think about how to get your little lover out of this? As far as I know, you won't abandon her, right?" Having experienced too many times being abandoned by him, Jiang Xingyao knew his choice perfectly well.

She looked at Jin Qingyu with a sarcastic expression.

She came back this time only to resolve two things: the divorce and Jiang Cancan.

She deliberately forced Jin Qingyu to rescue Jiang Cancan. If this went smoothly, then both problems could be solved at the same time.

Jin Qingyu said, "Yaoyao, don't be so confrontational. I think we can sit down and talk things over regarding Jiang Cancan. Between her and me..."

"Stop, Mr. Jin, I have no interest in what's going on between you and her. I'm sleepy, I'm going to rest." Jiang Xingyao pushed him away and went back to her bedroom.
