Chapter 174 Jiang Cancan has always used her face
A cryptic smile crept across Jin Qingyu's lips. He knew, of course, that something was amiss. That Jin Yanzhou was really impatient; he was willing to do something like this just to climb the ladder.
Jin Qingyu whispered a few instructions to Assistant Xu before leisurely returning to his room.
In the bedroom, Jiang Cancan dialed a phone with a pale face. Although she was terrified, her tone was irritable when the call connected: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I've already appeared before him as you instructed, so why bring He Qifeng here again? How am I supposed to explain this later?"
"Jiang Cancan, are you dissatisfied with me?" The man's somewhat impatient voice came from the other end of the phone. "Do I need to report to you what I want to say?"
As for whether it will affect your ability to attract men in the future, what does that have to do with me?
You need to handle this matter properly and cleanly, and don't let anything go wrong.
Jiang Cancan wasn't given a chance to speak before the call was abruptly ended.
Jiang Cancan gripped her phone, her eyes filled with resentment.
The bedroom door creaked open at that moment, and she looked up sharply, her gaze meeting Jin Qingyu's as he stood in the doorway. She quickly said, sounding a little aggrieved, "Brother Qingyu, I really didn't mean to run away. You know, what girl doesn't care about her appearance? I was just afraid my face would be ruined, so..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jin Qingyu asked directly, "Do you know Jin Yanzhou?"
Jiang Cancan swallowed slightly, and she immediately said, "Yes... we know each other, Brother Qingyu, have you forgotten? I had contact with President Yanzhou when I was your secretary."
“That’s not what I’m asking. I’m referring to private interactions, like today,” Jin Qingyu said.
A flicker of panic crossed Jiang Cancan's eyes, but she still stubbornly said, "This... Brother Qingyu, you're joking with me, right?"
Everyone in the company knew I was one of your people, so how could I have had private contact with President Yan Zhou?
Besides, I've been away from the Jin family for a while now, and someone like President Yan Zhou certainly wouldn't have any contact with someone as insignificant as me.
As you know, he doesn't have a single woman around him, not even a male assistant. How could I possibly have any contact with him?
She was flustered, so she talked a lot, constantly trying to dispel Jin Qingyu's suspicions about her.
"Jiang Cancan, how can this all be such a coincidence? I just happened to run into you at the hospital, just happened to be caught on camera and trend on social media, and just happened to benefit Jin Yanzhou. Don't you think there are too many coincidences?" Jin Qingyu's eyes were filled with sarcasm. He wanted to see what kind of story Jiang Cancan could come up with.
Jiang Cancan said, "This... I don't know what happened either. Maybe it was just a coincidence that someone took a picture of it, and then President Yan Zhou used it as an excuse to spread rumors online. President Jin, you know those media outlets are always omnipresent and prone to making baseless accusations."
Jin Qingyu didn't miss Jiang Cancan's sparkling eyes. He guessed that Jiang Cancan was definitely hiding something from him.
This woman is really stubborn. They've already made a scene like this, and Jiang Cancan is still acting all wronged in front of him.
Before he could finish his sarcastic remark, Assistant Xu knocked on the door again, saying that the old man had called again and wanted Jin Qingyu to come to the company for a meeting immediately.
Needless to say, the incident online has escalated further.
Before leaving, Jin Qingyu suddenly remembered something and said to his assistant Xu, "Tell Yao Yao for me that I have nothing to do with Jiang Cancan, and tell her not to overthink it."
Assistant Xu agreed, but Jin Qingyu stopped after taking a few steps. He said, "Never mind, I'll tell her myself after this is resolved."
Assistant Xu also felt that if President Jin wanted to win back his wife, it would be more appropriate for him to explain these things himself.
"Jiang Xingyao, did you see the things I gave you? I told you, that Jin Qingyu is incorrigible. If you ever need anything in the future, come to me or Ji Yunyin. Don't have any more contact with him."
Qin Jiangnan's incessant voice came through the phone.
Jiang Xingyao frowned slightly as she looked at the video Qin Jiangnan had sent her—the one showing Jin Qingyu and He Qifeng arguing in the hospital.
This scene felt somewhat familiar to her; it seemed that the two of them had argued like this more than once in the past.
Jiang Xingyao didn't find anything new or surprising about these things.
These two people have always treated Jiang Cancan differently; it just so happens that the media captured them this time.
What truly caught Jiang Xingyao's attention was Jiang Cancan, who was sandwiched between the two, especially her slightly upturned profile in the video.
Jiang Xingyao's eyes were somewhat dazed.
She remembered that once when she came out of the Jiang Group building, she encountered someone who looked remarkably like her. She had thought she was just in a hurry and had mistaken him for someone else, but it turned out that wasn't the case.
Jiang Cancan had her face altered to resemble her?
The moment the thought crossed Jiang Xingyao's mind, she felt incredibly disgusted, to the point that she couldn't help but want to vomit.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Jiangnan was still rambling on and on when Jiang Xingyao asked blankly, "Jiang Cancan, did she get plastic surgery?"
Qin Jiangnan paused slightly. He hadn't paid much attention to Jiang Cancan for a long time, and he was unaware of many things.
But one has to admit that Jiang Xingyao’s shadow can be seen on Jiang Cancan’s face at a glance.
"Jin Qingyu made her do this?" Jiang Xingyao asked again.
In fact, she and Jiang Cancan had a bad relationship since childhood. Jiang Cancan hated and loathed her more than anything. Even if Jiang Cancan really had to get plastic surgery, she would never look like her.
After all, nobody wants to open their eyes and see their enemy's face in the mirror; that would be too despicable.
Qin Jiangnan was unsure: "I don't know about that, but the time when Jiang Cancan had her face done was indeed after you left the capital."
Jiang Xingyao felt as if something was constantly churning inside her. Her disordered heartbeat caused her breathing to become erratic, making her feel even more nauseous.
She gave Qin Jiangnan a few perfunctory replies and hung up the phone, but she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She thought she wouldn't cause any trouble with Jin Qingyu's actions, but she never expected that she had oversimplified things.
After she left, that person made Jiang Cancan behave like her. What is that all about?
Want both?
Are you reluctant to part with Jiang Cancan, both as a person and as beautiful as her?
Jiang Xingyao couldn't remember the last time she had experienced such a strong emotional fluctuation.
The intense nausea almost overwhelmed her, and she couldn't tell if it was disappointment or something else; only tears were streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She couldn't understand how someone could be so disgusting.
The thought that Jiang Cancan used her face, and that she used that face to fawn over Jin Qingyu when she left, made Jiang Xingyao feel like she couldn't breathe.
The phone rang again; it was Qin Jiangnan calling again. He must have noticed something was wrong with her voice and was worried.
Jiang Xingyao did not answer.
At times like this, he just wants to be alone and calm down.
It's okay, Jiang Xingyao thought. She had already divorced Jin Qingyu, so what Jin Qingyu did was none of her business.
But when I thought about how Jiang Cancan was using her face, these words of comfort were ultimately useless.
The phone rang several more times, but Jiang Xingyao didn't answer.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
She got up almost in a daze and opened the door. Standing in the doorway was Ji Yunyin.
"What's wrong, Yaoyao? I heard from Qin Jiangnan that you weren't feeling well, so I rushed over. What happened? Your eyes are all red. Let me take a look." Ji Yunyin said, pulling Jiang Xingyao into the house.
After hearing Ji Yunyin's words, Jiang Xingyao's suppressed emotions seemed to find an outlet, and she finally burst into tears. She said, "Yinyin, that bastard Jin Qingyu made Jiang Cancan look like me! Look!"
Even when Jiang Xingyao was cursing, she rarely used profanity. Now, she was clearly furious.
She showed the video to Ji Yunyin, who glanced down at it and couldn't help but swear.
The veins on his forehead were throbbing violently.
Anyone would find it difficult to remain calm in such a situation.
They never expected that even after Jiang Xingyao had passed away, she would still encounter such an infuriating situation. That Jin Qingyu, on the one hand, wanted to pester Yaoyao relentlessly, and on the other hand, he subtly had his little lover make herself look like Yaoyao. Wasn't he just deliberately trying to disgust people?
Jiang Xingyao said, "I know I shouldn't care about him, and his affairs have nothing to do with me, but whenever I think of Jiang Cancan with that face fawning over him, I can't control my emotions. Yinyin, quickly scold me awake. Tell me that this has nothing to do with me."
The quagmire she had once escaped seemed to have resurfaced, trying to pull her down little by little. Jiang Xingyao's heart was filled with boundless fear.
Ji Yunyin looked at her struggling with pity and hugged Jiang Xingyao: "It's related, Yaoyao, it's related. She used your face. You're just angry about this, not because of him, Jin Qingyu. Come on, I'll take you to get an explanation. We must make Jiang Cancan get her face back."
Not to mention Jiang Xingyao herself, even as her friend, the thought of Jiang Cancan using Yaoyao's face made her scalp tingle and feel nauseous.
There needs to be an explanation for this.
Yahe Garden is where Jin Qingyu hid Jiang Cancan. Ji Yunyin only needed to do a little research to find out the truth.
Qin Jiangnan brought Jiang Xingyao to this place before. At that time, Jin Qingyu kept denying it, but in the end, Jiang Xingyao still had to meet Jiang Cancan here.
At this moment, there were still two bodyguards standing at the entrance of Yahe Garden. After getting out of the car, Ji Yunyin went straight to the point: "Where is Jiang Cancan? Tell her to get out here right now."
