Chapter 111 Jiang Cancan's Own Fault
Everyone in the Jin family is at the hospital today, except for Jin Qingyu.
Or perhaps, from the moment they brought the old man to the hospital, Jin Qingyu hurriedly made a phone call to Assistant Xu and left.
He left in a hurry; I wonder what important matter he had that was more important than the old man's.
Jin Manchuan and Jin Yanzhou stood together, constantly teasing Jin Qingyu about how unfilial and worthless he was, as if they were deliberately saying it for Jiang Xingyao to hear. Jiang Xingyao didn't even raise her head.
She doesn't care at all about what others think of Jin Qingyu now.
Time passed slowly, but the old man remained unconscious.
The matter concerning Jiang Xingyao has been circulating online.
The whole internet was buzzing about Jiang Xingyao's situation, and naturally, it reached Jiang Yuncheng as well.
Jiang Cancan was brought back by Jiang Yuncheng early on. At this moment, Jiang Yuncheng was sitting on the sofa, holding a belt in his hand, and exuding a sinister and cold aura.
Jiang Cancan knelt in front of him, her shoulders trembling, while Bai Shuang pleaded with Jiang Yuncheng.
Jiang Yuncheng wouldn't listen to any of this. He glared at Jiang Cancan and said, "You knew about Jiang Xingyao's pregnancy a long time ago, didn't you?"
So that's why you planned to harm her at the Shen family's house beforehand?
"I don't know, Dad. Even Qingyu doesn't know about Jiang Xingyao, so how would I know? Besides, you already know, Dad, that Jiang Xingyao isn't liked by Qingyu. You should choose me instead of her," Jiang Cancan continued to deny.
Jiang Yuncheng was furious. He roared, "You have the nerve to bring this up with me? Don't you know why I chose you last time?"
For nearly two years since Jiang Xingyao married Jin Qingyu, Jiang Yuncheng has been dreaming that she will give birth to a child for the Jin family and then take over the shares.
It was one thing that Jiang Xingyao's belly hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy, but now that he was so close to achieving his goal, Jiang Cancan ruined everything.
If it weren't for the huge uproar online, he would still be completely unaware that he missed out on Jin's shares.
Just thinking about it made Jiang Yuncheng lose control, and he lashed out at Jiang Cancan with the belt in his hand.
Jiang Cancan screamed in fright, and Bai Fang immediately pulled her into her arms, placing the belt on Bai Fang's hand and striking Jiang Cancan's back.
“Master, Can Can is right. That Jiang Xingyao and you were never of one mind. She and Madam have even severed ties. Even if she really gives birth to that child, can you really get the shares?” Bai Fang tried to rouse the enraged Jiang Yuncheng.
Jiang Yuncheng roared, "What do you know? So what if we sever ties? Jiang Xingyao is soft-hearted towards Tingting. If something really happens to Tingting, she would never just leave her to fend for herself."
The belt came off again, and Jiang Cancan desperately tried to burrow into Bai Fang's arms. This time, Bai Fang blocked most of the force for her.
Jiang Yuncheng frowned, clearly displeased. He had some affection for Bai Fang, and he urged Bai Fang to let go of Jiang Cancan.
Bai Fang held on tightly, protecting Jiang Cancan. Jiang Yuncheng raised the belt in his hand and then lowered it, failing to throw it at Jiang Cancan again.
The situation was somewhat tense when Qu Xinting came downstairs. Rubbing her eyes, she asked blankly, "Yuncheng, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
Jiang Yuncheng was still somewhat wary of this matter. Although he was almost certain that Qu Xinting would stand on his side, Jiang Xingyao was, after all, Qu Xinting's biological daughter, and he was a little worried that Qu Xinting would turn against him.
While he remained silent, Qu Xinting quickly walked up to him and said, "Are you angry because of Jiang Xingyao? I heard what you were saying just now. If you ask me, even if Jiang Xingyao lost her child, it's because she wasn't lucky enough to have it. Why are you blaming Can Can?"
She linked arms with Jiang Yuncheng, her attitude unchanged, and continued to belittle Jiang Xingyao. Her feet, clad in small leather shoes, accidentally stepped on Jiang Cancan's fingers.
She shook Jiang Yuncheng's arm as if she were being coquettish, and her feet followed suit, each step grinding over Jiang Cancan's fingers.
Jiang Cancan screamed in pain, and Bai Fang whispered a reminder: "Madam, you stepped on Cancan."
Qu Xinting seemed to realize something at that moment. She took a step back, but stumbled and stepped on Jiang Cancan's fingers with her other foot.
Jiang Cancan screamed again.
Qu Xinting held Jiang Yuncheng's hand and said with some guilt, "Yuncheng, I really didn't mean to. I didn't see Cancan's hand on the ground."
Jiang Yuncheng was already angry with Jiang Cancan, and now seeing her so unruly, his face turned even uglier: "Tingting didn't do it on purpose, what are you yelling about here for? Get out of here."
Jiang Cancan lowered her eyes, feeling extremely wronged, and her eyes even welled up with tears, but she didn't dare to say anything at the moment.
Bai Fang quickly pulled Jiang Cancan up. She looked at Jiang Cancan's five fingers, which were crushed and bloody, and her eyes fell on Qu Xinting's little leather shoes. She asked with a hint of reproach, "Madam, why do you wear leather shoes at home?"
If she had been wearing slippers, even if she had stepped on them accidentally, Can Can wouldn't have been hurt so badly.
Qu Xinting looked at her feet and said, "You mean these? Yun Cheng gave them to me before. I suddenly saw them while I was packing my things today, and I wanted to wear them to show Yun Cheng. Is that not allowed?"
Her explanation was reasonable, and Bai Fang took a deep breath, not daring to say anything more to question it. She could only go and get the first-aid kit to treat Jiang Cancan's wound.
But Jiang Cancan's hands were numb, and her fingers were stiff and she dared not curl them. Seeing this, Bai Fang quickly said to Jiang Yuncheng, "Master, Cancan must have injured a bone. I have to take her to the hospital to see a doctor."
Before Jiang Yuncheng could speak, a commotion arose outside the Jiang family mansion. A servant came in to report, "Master, Madam, Assistant Xu from President Jin's side has arrived. He says he wants to take Miss Cancan to see President Jin."
Jiang Yuncheng's eyes darted around, but he didn't refuse. Bai Fang was a little worried: "Can Can's hand... could we take her to the hospital to get it treated first?"
Assistant Xu had already entered and saw the mess in the Jiang family home. He said, "President Jin is still waiting. Secretary Jiang, you shouldn't keep him waiting too long."
He didn't come alone; he was accompanied by two bodyguards in black.
With his command, the two men dragged Jiang Cancan away.
Bai Fang was terrified and quickly chased after them, only to see a trail of car exhaust fumes.
After she returned, she pleaded with Qu Xinting, "Madam, please speak to Miss and ask for leniency for Cancan... Cancan, she..."
"Why are you pleading? I don't understand what you're saying. Isn't that guy surnamed Jin the one who likes Jiang Cancan the most? She picked up Jiang Cancan for a date, what's the panic?" Qu Xinting was confused, her face full of indifference.
But when no one can see, emotions flicker in her eyes, and a fleeting tear passes through the corner of her eye.
Bai Fang wanted to ask Jiang Yuncheng for help again.
Jiang Yuncheng said irritably, "That's enough. Jiang Cancan brought this all on herself. Don't mention it again."
He kept making his own plans in his mind.
If Jiang Cancan can get back from Jin Qingyu this time, he will look at her with more respect.
If not…
Then he needs to hold onto Qu Xinting even more tightly, because Qu Xinting has brought the Jiang family a lot of benefits recently.
Jiang Cancan was forcibly shoved into the back seat, and her hands are still numb from the pain.
Along the way, she tried to get Assistant Xu to stop first and take her to the hospital.
But Assistant Xu acted as if he hadn't heard her and didn't react at all.
The car finally stopped at Bixiao Tower.
When she was pulled down, a hint of fear flashed in Jiang Cancan's eyes.
She wasn't actually that afraid of Jin Qingyu, but the place called Bixiao Tower made her feel uncontrollably flustered.
The Shen family's banquet that day involved booking the entire Bixiao Tower.
It was here that she tricked Jin Qingyu into leaving.
"Please, Secretary Jiang," Assistant Xu said.
Jiang Cancan stood rooted to the spot. For some reason, she felt a chill run down her spine and dared not move forward.
Assistant Xu frowned, not going to tolerate her, and gave the two bodyguards a look, ordering them to drag Jiang Cancan inside.
The main hall of Bixiao Tower was empty; there wasn't a single person in sight, clearly indicating that it had been booked out by someone.
Jiang Cancan's unease gradually intensified.
When she was dragged to the backyard, she looked at the man with his back to her, and her heart skipped a beat.
Assistant Xu said, "Mr. Jin, the person has been brought."
Jiang Cancan tried to appear calm, and tentatively asked, "Brother Qingyu..."
"Come here." Jin Qingyu interrupted her, his voice hoarse and devoid of emotion.
Jiang Cancan's heart skipped a beat. She steeled herself and stepped forward. Her already uneasy expression suddenly became even more terrified. She saw someone kneeling at Jin Qingyu's feet.
It's Cheng Jing!
Guo Tianhe from Dijing Entertainment was also there, his face as pale as Cheng Jing's.
Jiang Cancan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, sank once again.
A deep sense of unease washed over her.
There was a table set up in front of Jin Qingyu.
This is a densely packed container of baijiu (Chinese liquor), none of which are famous brands, but they are the strongest liquors.
Jiang Cancan's heart was pounding wildly. She thought of the scene at the banquet where Jiang Xingyao was forced to drink alcohol.
The swimming pool, the strong liquor—everything about it felt both familiar and unsettling to her.
Even in front of Jin Qingyu, she no longer cared about the pain in her fingers.
When Jiang Cancan looked at Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing also looked at her. The arrogant and unruly young idol, at this moment, sounded flustered and almost cried: "President Jin, it was her. She gave me all the songs. She also asked me to come to the Shen family's banquet that day!"
I was merely acting under her orders; she's the mastermind behind all this. Please, have mercy and spare me!
