Chapter 223 Qin Jiangnan and Jiang Xingyao are together

Upon hearing Qu Xinting's troubled words, Jin Qingyu's face showed a hint of surprise.

He thought that Qu Xinting and Jiang Yuncheng's conflict was just a minor squabble, and he never expected that his mother-in-law had already planned to completely take back the Qu family from Jiang Yuncheng.

Jiang Yuncheng's expression was unpleasant. He turned his gaze to Jin Qingyu and pleaded, "Son-in-law, you heard what I just said. You still want to get back together with Yaoyao. Can you help the Jiang family for Yaoyao's sake?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, my grandfather has already said that he only has a relationship with Old Master Qu. Even if he were to help, he would only help the Qu family. I'm afraid I can't help you." Jin Qingyu spread his hands, his words tinged with difficulty.

Qu Xinting gave Jin Qingyu a deep look, and quickly got into character, her face full of anxiety and helplessness.

The Gu siblings didn't leave either; they sat down next to Jin Qingyu. A strange emotion flashed across President Gu's face. Just as he was about to speak, Jin Qingyu suddenly said, "President Gu, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. How about we go for a drink together?"

"I…"

“Let’s go. The banquet is over. There’s no need to listen to my in-laws’ family affairs anymore, is there?” Jin Qingyu said.

President Gu glanced at Qu Xinting again, still seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, when Jin Qingyu pulled him out without further ado.

Gu Zhiyuan said with dissatisfaction, "President Jin, my brother has things to do. Why are you bothering with him?"

Mr. Gu said, "Alright, Zhiyuan, there's nothing more for you here. Go back and keep your sister-in-law company."

Gu Zhiyuan agreed, but before leaving, she glared at Jin Qingyu with dissatisfaction, clearly having a lot of complaints about him.

Jin Qingyu pretended not to see the little girl's gaze.

Half an hour later, in a booth at the club, Jin Qingyu handed a cigarette to President Gu: "You stayed at the Jiang family's house for so long today, is it because you want something from my mother-in-law?"

"As expected, nothing can escape Mr. Jin's eyes. I have indeed heard that when Grandpa Qu was alive, he researched many effective medicines. I have a friend who was hospitalized due to illness, so I wanted to ask Mr. Qu if he had any relevant prescriptions."

President Gu did not hide this from Jin Qingyu. He continued, "I was thinking that if President Qu could help me out of this urgent situation, I could help the Jiang family get through this difficult time."

Why did President Jin suddenly call me out at this time? Could it be that he has some instructions?

Jin Qingyu said, "It's not really an instruction. The situation with the Jiang family is a bit complicated right now. I just want to ask President Gu that if you really need to talk to my mother-in-law, please make sure it's when Jiang Yuncheng isn't around, and that you can talk to her alone without letting Jiang Yuncheng know."

Even though President Gu was unaware of the shady dealings between Qu Xinting and her husband, after Jin Qingyu's reminder and recalling Qu Xinting's words, he began to have a plan in mind.

He said, "Mr. Jin, there's no need to be so polite. It was just a small favor, don't worry about it."

Having reassured Qu Xinting that her worries were gone, Jin Qingyu changed the subject with peace of mind.

But thinking about the notebook in Jiang Xingyao's room, he was still a little absent-minded.

Gradually, he recalled the first time he met Jiang Xingyao, when she was treated like a princess, surrounded by admirers.

A great sense of crisis also rose in my heart.

He thought he could be as at ease as he and Xu Wei had said, letting Jiang Xingyao go far away and pursue her dreams freely without disturbing or affecting her.

But he still couldn't do it.

Just a notebook was enough to make him start to overthink.

Yao Yao is so outstanding. If he's not by her side watching over her, will someone like Shen Mingsu appear in her life, tempting her and coveting her?

He left her with so many bad impressions. Could she, without his knowledge, choose someone with similar values ​​and accept their advances?

Just thinking about that possibility made Jin Qingyu feel short of breath.

In the end, he lost interest in listening to what President Gu was saying, made an excuse to leave, and asked Xu Wei to investigate Jiang Xingyao's whereabouts.

Now that he knows Jiang Xingyao has changed her name to Qu Weiyi, even without keeping Jiang Xingyao's contact information, finding her is much easier. Moreover, he has silently reached a certain consensus with Madam Rongyue.

Jin Qingyu went straight back to the Jin family's old residence. Old Master Qin was also there, playing chess with Old Master Jin. The two of them were talking about something, their expressions were a bit solemn, yet they also seemed a bit gratified.

Jin Qingyu greeted them, and then Old Master Qin asked, "Ayu, you came back late. What happened to the Jiang family after we left?"

Jin Qingyu briefly explained Qu Xinting's plan, and the two old men nodded repeatedly. Old Master Jin said, "It's not easy. I thought that Qu Xinting would be an appendage to her son-in-law for the rest of her life. I didn't expect her to wake up and make such a big move."

Grandpa Qin also sighed, "Yes, she was busy getting investment for the Jiang family not long ago. If she hadn't shown some signs of it now, even we old folks would probably have been fooled."

That girl is really stubborn. She shouldered such a big problem all by herself and didn't even ask us for help.

"He's probably ashamed. He abandoned his own daughter for a man back then. Even if he's realized his mistake now, it's too late. He probably wants to make amends quietly."

"Well, since she's unwilling to ask for help, let's pretend we don't know anything. We'll observe her more closely in the future, and if we can help her quietly, we will. After all, she is Old Qu's daughter," said Old Master Jin.

Grandpa Qin nodded: "I will have Mo Bei keep a close eye on her from now on."

"What about your little grandson? He's not young anymore, is he? I haven't heard you mention him lately," Grandpa Jin asked casually.

Jin Qingyu originally intended to go upstairs, but upon hearing his grandfather's words, he paused as if possessed, a hint of wariness creeping into his heart.

He hadn't forgotten that Qin Jiangnan also had some different feelings for Jiang Xingyao. Counting the time, it had been quite a long time since he had seen Qin Jiangnan.

That troublemaker has been unusually quiet lately.

Grandpa Qin coughed lightly and chuckled, "That guy is too noisy. All he does is cause trouble all day long. I found him annoying, so I gave him some work to keep him occupied."

"Tsk, what kind of work is this? Can your mischievous grandson be expected to listen?" Old Master Jin pressed on.

Grandpa Qin said, "Anyway, it's his hobby, and he's quite happy with it. As long as he doesn't get in my way, I'm content."

Grandpa Jin asked a few more questions, but Grandpa Qin still didn't reveal Qin Jiangnan's specific whereabouts.

In the end, even Grandpa Jin had no choice but to give up.

Three days later, Jin Qingyu learned the truth from Assistant Xu.

Jiang Xingyao went to Y country for further studies, and Qin Jiangnan followed her there, even becoming her assistant.

Jin Qingyu now understood why Old Master Qin had been so secretive.

So he sent his own grandson to steal his girlfriend; no wonder he said it was Qin Jiangnan's hobby.

Upon receiving this news, Jin Qingyu felt a surge of blood rush to his head. He had been so focused on guarding against Shen Mingsu that he never expected Qin Jiangnan to find an opening.

Jin Qingyu immediately asked his assistant Xu to book his plane ticket. This time, he did not bring his assistant Xu with him, but arranged for Xu to keep an eye on Jiang Yuncheng and Jin Yanzhou's movements.

When Qin Jiangnan appeared beside her, Jiang Xingyao was also surprised.

Qin Jiangnan arrived with luggage, insisting that Ji Yunyin felt unsafe for her abroad and specifically asked him to be her bodyguard.

Jiang Xingyao also received a call from Grandpa Qin, who earnestly requested that she let Qin Jiangnan stay for a while to prevent him from causing trouble in the country.

Jiang Xingyao still felt that it was not appropriate to keep Qin Jiangnan by her side alone. Qin Jiangnan took an unconventional approach and fooled around in front of Madam Rongyue, which actually convinced Madam Rongyue to allow him to stay. In the end, Jiang Xingyao could only acquiesce to him following her.

It had been a while since I'd seen him, and the young master had changed quite a bit. He no longer wore those flamboyant and extravagant clothes; this time, he was simply wearing a white sweater and casual pants. His hair was neatly combed and he wasn't using any exaggerated hair gel. He exuded a youthful vibe, just like a male college student who had just graduated.

When he smiles, his two little tiger teeth are clearly visible. Before, when Jiang Xingyao saw him smile, she always felt that he was overly flamboyant. Now, just because he has changed his hairstyle, but still has the same smile, he gives Jiang Xingyao the illusion that he is very well-behaved.

It's unclear what Qin Jiangnan was thinking this time, but he didn't call her by her full name anymore. He just kept calling her Yaoyao. Jiang Xingyao wasn't used to it at first, but after a while, she didn't feel so awkward anymore. In fact, whenever she saw Qin Jiangnan by her side, she would instinctively want to touch his head.

She only thought about it in her mind; she knew the young master's temper, and if she actually touched him, he might get angry.

Besides Qin Jiangnan, Jiang Xingyao now has an uninvited guest by her side, Fila.

She had a falling out with Nilia and then contacted Jiang Xingyao, wanting to learn from Madam Rongyue. Madam Rongyue had a good impression of her, and since she wasn't participating in the Jinle Cup competition anyway, she simply let her come over.

Jiang Xingyao had just finished practicing the piano when she received a message from Fila saying that she had arrived in Y country. Jiang Xingyao went to the airport to pick her up, and Qin Jiangnan naturally followed her closely, like a bodyguard.

The airport was crowded, mostly with blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners. Although Jiang Xingyao and Fila were already quite familiar with each other, they couldn't spot Fila at a glance.

Fila recognized her first and ran towards her, exclaiming, "Weiyi, it really is you! I've finally found you!"

Her gaze fell on Qin Jiangnan beside her, and she asked with a hint of surprise, "Who is this handsome young man? I've never seen him before. Is he your boyfriend?"

Just as Jiang Xingyao was about to explain, Qin Jiangnan grinned and said, "Sister has good taste. Aren't we a perfect match?"
