As soon as she walked out of the ward and closed the door, Jiang Yanxin, who had been suppressing her feelings for so long, slapped Jiang Jinyu across the face amidst his feigned attempts to show concern, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and resentments she had accumulated over the years.
"What right do you have to stand here?! Why aren't you the one lying inside?! You're the one who ruined my son! How dare someone like you be his father!" Her eyes were red and filled with resentment as she stared at him. "Give me back my son! You bastard!"
She rushed forward to hit him, but the next second Jiang Jinyu, who had reacted quickly, grabbed her arm and pinned her against the wall. His eyes were full of suppressed anger, his cheek was red, and there was even a shallow bloodstain that stung with pain.
Jiang Jinyu was even more frustrated because all his plans had been disrupted. First, he was tricked by He Liyu, and the person who went was not He Xiao at all. His own son was accidentally pushed downstairs by his subordinate and is now lying unconscious in the hospital room. Meanwhile, his subordinate has been pursued by He Liyu and the police and there has been no news of him since.
A mountain of problems piled up in front of him, but he knew he couldn't afford to lose his composure.
He had to remain calm until his subordinates relayed the message.
"Shut up! Aren't you ashamed to cause a scene at the hospital? And now you want to blame me! I haven't even asked you why Ah Xing ended up in that unfinished building! How were your people keeping an eye on Ah Xing?" He was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. "You should be glad that Ah Xing only fell from the third floor into the mud and sand and didn't die!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanxin's eyes widened in disbelief, then she suddenly realized something and laughed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
After years of confusion, her mind has finally cleared up a bit. Looking at the man she has loved and waited for for decades, she realizes that all her sacrifices were a joke.
He never actually cared for the child for even a single day, nor did he ever acknowledge that Ah Xing was his child. Even when the paternity test report was presented to him, his reaction remained completely unremarkable.
"It was my fault, it was my fault. What was I expecting from you..." She looked at him deeply, her eyes filled with a complex and unfathomable depth.
Jiang Jinyu was taken aback. He wanted to explain something as he always had, but the next second, he was separated by a pair of hands.
He looked up impatiently and saw He Liyu's mocking eyes.
"President Jiang, what a coincidence, you've come to see your godson?" He Liyu said.
It was He Liyu's assistant who forcibly pulled him away.
Jiang Jinyu waved away his assistant's hand that was blocking him, straightened his clothes, and then forced a smile to meet his eyes. Even though he looked more disheveled than usual, his composure was undeniable.
"Yeah, what brings you here too? Hehe."
He Liyu raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face: "Of course I have to come. Ah Xing fell from the building to save my Ah Xiao. As his guardian, I certainly won't be an ungrateful wretch."
Jiang Jinyu's smile froze slightly, and their eyes met, neither giving an inch.
He really wanted to say, "You deliberately arranged for thugs to impersonate He Xiao, what are you still pretending for?"
No, if he says it out loud, it will prove that he was the one who did it all.
All he can do now is swallow everything and break it down.
"...Then you'd better thank Ayan properly, hehe." Jiang Jinyu forced a smile.
He looked up again, trying to see Jiang Yanxin's reaction, but He Liyu blocked his view, preventing him from seeing anything. He pursed his lips, his face as cold as ice.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his reaction at that moment, and Jiang Yanxin was also immersed in her own world, feeling extremely sad.
After doing nothing, Jiang Jinyu remained silent for a moment before preparing to leave. However, seeing He Liyu's assistant standing guard at the door, he felt compelled to remind Jiang Yanxin, but he was interrupted halfway through his sentence.
"Ayan, I haven't lied to you. This was an accident. Believe me, I..."
“Yes, how could Jin Yu deceive you? He has been blatantly cheating all along.” He Liyu met Jiang Jin Yu’s gaze with a smile, and saw a hint of vulnerability in his eyes. After a moment of slightly provocative eye contact, he lightly looked away and said to Jiang Yanxin, “If President Jiang is interested, you can take a look at the videos that my subordinates have sent to your email.”
Jiang Jinyu: "...Congratulations on your generous treatment!"
Is He Liyu too lazy to even bother with the pretense? Does he really think he can catch Zhang Feng? That he can hold something over him?
A hint of malice flashed in his lowered eyes.
“I’m telling you the truth. If you don’t want to hear it, you can leave,” He Liyu said with a smile.
Jiang Jinyu: "..." Your mother spoke ill of me to my face and then blamed me for not liking to listen?
If He Liyu's assistant hadn't stopped him, he would have definitely fought with him.
Unable to win an argument with He Liyu, Jiang Jinyu could only try to shift his gaze to Jiang Yanxin: "Yanxin, don't listen to his nonsense..."
"Enough." Jiang Yanxin finally spoke after a long silence. She gave him a deep look with a complicated expression before looking away, unwilling to meet his gaze. However, when facing He Liyu, there was not much emotion in her eyes.
She was too tired to pretend to be affectionate towards He Liyu anymore, and as for Jiang Jinyu... she didn't want to see him lately either.
"Mr. He, you should leave as soon as you're done looking at A-Xing. You're not welcome here," Jiang Yanxin said expressionlessly.
They don't even want to put on a show anymore.
She knew the reason why A-Xing fell to his death, but she still couldn't bring herself to smile at He Liyu. Although A-Xing ultimately saved the wrong person, it was still for the sake of his He family.
He Liyu didn't seem to notice Jiang Yanxin's attitude, and still wore a faint smile.
“After all, Ah Xing is Ah Xiao’s savior, so it is only natural for me to come and see him. If President Jiang has any questions, please feel free to ask me, as a way of repaying Ah Xing’s kindness.”
