Chapter 147 Don't Marry Him
Assistant Xu quickly obtained a surveillance video.
In the video footage, the woman in the red dress appeared somewhat blurry, and the surveillance camera did not capture her face clearly. However, her half-profile and overly elegant demeanor captivated Jin Qingyu's attention.
Assistant Xu looked on, a hint of shock flashing across his face.
The woman in the picture seems to be the wife; she went into a coffee shop on the street corner and disappeared.
She had clearly brushed past President Jin, yet she didn't pause for a moment, as if she had never met him at all.
Assistant Xu noticed this, and Jin Qingyu naturally noticed it as well. He felt as if his heart was aching so badly that he could hardly breathe. It turned out that Jiang Xingyao was really so ruthless when she wanted to leave.
Even if we brush past each other at such close range, we can pretend we don't know him.
"Go find her, no matter what it takes, you must bring Yaoyao back to me," Jin Qingyu said.
He would never allow Yao Yao to escape his sight again.
The next few days.
Jin Qingyu's phone kept receiving surveillance videos sent by Assistant Xu. Each video showed a woman's blurry profile, but as time went by, they still couldn't find her.
That woman seemed to be able to disappear, always managing to evade their detection precisely. Jin Qingyu himself had made many fruitless attempts, gradually wearing down his patience.
The repeated setbacks had almost completely drained Jin Qingyu's energy, leaving him with a sense that something was amiss. He prompted, "Mr. Jin, isn't this a bit suspicious? Is Madam... really that good at hiding?"
If Jiang Xingyao truly possessed such counter-surveillance capabilities, she wouldn't have been repeatedly tracked down by President Jin.
“Someone must be helping her. She wants to avoid me, so she naturally has her own ways,” Jin Qingyu said.
He frowned, looking at the surveillance footage on his phone over and over again.
It was as if he was watching Jiang Xingyao disappear from his sight time and time again.
Assistant Xu said, "But we've been to Hong Kong so many times and never seen Madam before. Yet we've seen her several times in the last few days. Don't you find that strange?"
Assistant Xu didn't want to speculate about his wife using conspiracy theories, but the fact that she appeared again and again, only to escape from their sight each time, was really strange.
Someone I hadn't seen for over half a year has suddenly appeared far too frequently these past two days.
Jin Qingyu's expression was somewhat solemn. In fact, he had some doubts about what Assistant Xu said, but he quickly suppressed them and said, "Perhaps she has always been like this, but we just haven't met her yet. Never mind, let's keep looking. We must find Yaoyao."
Assistant Xu watched as President Jin tried to make amends for his wife, and in the end, he simply shook his head slightly.
Just as Jin Qingyu was frantically searching for someone...
In the hospital corridor, Jin Yanzhou answered a phone call. On the other end of the line was a woman's voice, trembling slightly: "Mr. Yanzhou, how many more days will this stalemate last? I'm almost too exhausted to run anymore. Brother Qingyu isn't so easily fooled; he'll probably find out about me soon."
Jin Yanzhou turned his head and glanced at Shen Ying, who was holding the child in the ward with gentle eyes. He said, "Tomorrow, you will be able to appear in front of him tomorrow. I don't need to teach you what to say or do anymore, right?"
"No, no, I know." The woman's voice on the other end of the phone sounded visibly fearful.
Jin Yanzhou added, "Make him find you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, at least stall him for half a day."
The woman quickly agreed, and Jin Yanzhou then hung up the phone and returned to his ward.
When she saw him, Shen Ying only lifted her eyelids slightly. It was Jin Yanzhou who explained, "The work-related matter has been resolved."
As he spoke, he lowered his head again and began to play with the daughter in Shen Ying's arms.
The little girl had bright, sparkling eyes, and Shen Ying gave her the nickname "Little Crystal."
Whether it's due to blood ties or not, Little Crystal really likes Jin Yanzhou. The first time she saw him, she reached out her little hand and grabbed Jin Yanzhou's sleeve.
Wen Rao had been watching over Xiao Shuijing for so long by Shen Ying's side, but she hadn't seen Shen Ying kiss her on her own initiative.
Shen Ying was too lazy to listen to Jin Yanzhou talk about work, and simply put Xiao Shuijing's hand back into the swaddling clothes: "When do you plan to leave?"
"No rush, let me stay with you a little longer, Yingying. You've worked so hard these past few days, I..."
“Jin Yanzhou, stop. I don’t want to hear your sweet words. Besides, I’ve already said that I didn’t keep the child because of you, and you don’t need to feel any burden because of this,” Shen Ying said.
Jin Yanzhou ignored her words and changed the subject: "Are you hungry? I had someone make you some soup. Drink some first, and I'll hold the baby."
“Don’t bother me,” Shen Ying said. “Jin Yanzhou, you only make me feel hypocritical. Let’s get this straight, let’s not even talk about how we’ve already broken up. With the way you’re acting now, hiding when you come to see the child, do you think you’re qualified to hug her?”
Shen Ying's words made Jin Yanzhou's expression stiffen slightly, and he silently withdrew his outstretched hand.
After a moment, he asked, "If I'm not qualified, what about your fiancé? Does Zhao Chengmo have one?"
How long were you hospitalized? Did he visit you even once?
"Yingying, I know you and him aren't in that kind of relationship. You're just deliberately picking a fight with him to make me angry. Listen to me, break off your engagement. I'll go to the Shen family to propose marriage soon, and I'll definitely give you and the child an explanation."
Shen Ying said, "Don't mention Zhao Chengmo. Our business is none of anyone else's concern. Jin Yanzhou, I'm warning you, if you still want to see your daughter, don't investigate Zhao Chengmo, and don't even think about messing with my marriage to him."
Shen Ying's gaze was serious. This was not the first time she had warned Jin Yanzhou like this. A hint of annoyance flashed across Jin Yanzhou's face, but he finally compromised: "I won't investigate, as long as Yingying doesn't refuse to see me. I won't investigate then. But Yingying, I can tolerate the status of being engaged to him, as long as you don't marry him."
Shen Ying rolled her eyes and ignored Jin Yanzhou's rambling. A caregiver brought in chicken soup, and Jin Yanzhou took the opportunity to bring Xiao Shuijing over.
Shen Ying held the soup bowl and watched him patiently play with the child, a smile on her face that concealed his doting affection for Xiao Shuijing.
Looking at his expression, Shen Ying seemed to recall the early days of their relationship, when Jin Yanzhou was always so patient with her.
A slight flutter of emotion flashed through my heart, but it was quickly replaced by a bittersweet feeling.
But so what?
He certainly had enough patience to coax her, but he lacked the resolve to give her a formal status.
I've wasted six years of my youth on this feeling; that's enough.
During this period, Jin Yanzhou stayed with Shen Ying at the hospital every day, and even on the day Shen Ying was discharged, he arranged everything in detail.
Shen Mingsu stayed in Gangcheng for two days but couldn't get involved, so he had to leave in the end.
At 8:30 a.m., Shen Ying's discharge procedures were completed. As Jin Yanzhou accompanied her into the car to go home, Jin Qingyu finally found the person he was looking for.
The woman wore a red dress and had an elegant demeanor. Half of her profile looked exactly like his Yao Yao, but her face was clearly different when viewed from the front...
"Jiang Cancan, what are you doing here?" Jin Qingyu's hand was pressed on the table, the veins bulging, and he seemed to have an impulse to tear off the mask of the person in front of him.
He thought he had found Yaoyao, and searched for her for more than half a month, but the result was so disappointing.
All expectations seemed to turn into a joke at this moment, mocking his foolishness.
Jin Qingyu looked at the woman's profile, which resembled Jiang Xingyao's so closely, and felt utterly disgusted.
Assistant Xu bluntly stated, "Ms. Jiang, are you ever going to stop? President Jin has already shown you extraordinary kindness by allowing you to stay at Yahe Garden. How dare you disguise yourself as his wife and follow him all the way to Hong Kong?"
Assistant Xu's patience had long been worn down by Jiang Cancan. It was because of this woman that he had an extra lot of work to do.
Moreover, if Jiang Cancan hadn't repeatedly provoked her and caused trouble in front of the wife, the wife wouldn't have left.
Thinking back to how he used to think Jiang Cancan was kind-hearted and even felt sorry for her, he now wanted to go back and slap his past self who was out of his mind.
Jin Qingyu didn't say anything, but stared intently at Jiang Cancan's half-face.
Jiang Cancan said, "Assistant Xu, how could you say that about me? I... I just said I wanted to fix my face, but who knew it would turn out like this after the surgery? Maybe it's because my sister and I are sisters, so our bone structure is similar."
"Then why did you chase us to Hong Kong again? Why have you played us for fools time and time again, Miss Jiang? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?" Assistant Xu asked.
Before Jin Qingyu could speak, Assistant Xu was already on the verge of losing his temper.
Jiang Cancan's eyes were still red, and she looked aggrieved: "I didn't come here on purpose. I was a little worried because my face needed to have the bandages removed, so I came to Hong Kong to see a doctor. As for playing around..."
Assistant Xu is really wronging me. I did see Brother Qingyu, but I know he doesn't want to see me right now, so I just wanted to quietly check on you all. I…”
"That's enough," Jin Qingyu said, as if he had just snapped out of his deep disappointment, and waved to Jiang Cancan.
Jiang Cancan swallowed hard, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes. She moved slowly toward Jin Qingyu and tentatively asked, "Brother Qingyu, what's wrong?"
Jin Qingyu reached out and grabbed her neck: "I don't care what you're planning, hurry up and fix your face. Don't let me see you parading around with Yaoyao's face. You don't deserve to use Yaoyao's face."
Jiang Cancan rolled her eyes as she was being pinched. She struggled and looked at Jin Qingyu with a wronged expression.
Jin Qingyu shoved her aside and said, "If you don't want to go, don't blame me for ruining your face."
