Chapter 179 Does he like Jiang Xingyao?
Shen Mingsu was also unsure how to explain the matter between Shen Ying and Jin Yanzhou, and Jiang Xingyao didn't ask any further questions. The two of them played with Xiao Shuijing together.
Little Crystal is a very well-behaved little girl. She doesn't cry or make a fuss; she just keeps looking at people with her big, dark eyes.
Jiang Xingyao grew to like the child more and more, and her heart melted completely.
About half an hour later, Shen Ying and Jin Yanzhou came out. Jin Yanzhou wanted to come over and hug Xiao Shuijing, but Xiao Shuijing, who had been quiet all along, suddenly started crying.
Seeing this, Shen Ying quickly took her in and comforted her for a while before little Crystal finally stopped crying.
Jin Yanzhou's hand remained awkwardly frozen in mid-air. Even though he was still unwilling, he ultimately did not touch Xiao Shuijing again.
He still remembers that when Little Crystal was first born, she was very dependent on him.
Everything that happened before felt like a dream.
After watching Shen Ying appease the child, Shen Mingsu said, "Children are perceptive. If you never come, she will naturally become less affectionate towards you as her father over time."
Jin Yanzhou then said, "Yingying, for the sake of the child, come back to the capital with me."
Shen Ying had already put Xiao Shuijing to sleep, and she handed her over to the nanny before saying, "Go back to the capital? Can you come to my house to propose marriage?"
You still want me to follow you around without any status or identity, Jin Yanzhou. If you insist on saying you have some kind of hardship, fine, then take your hardship and get lost. Don't bother me.
I already have a daughter, and I won't make the same mistake again. I will never let my daughter go back to the capital with you without a proper status.
"Wait for me a little longer, it'll be soon, Yingying, once I've taken care of everything..." As he finished speaking, Jin Yanzhou's gaze inexplicably turned to Jiang Xingyao.
He paused for a moment before saying, "I will soon be able to clear your name."
Shen Ying gave a cold laugh and simply said, "No need."
Jin Yanzhou patiently explained a few more times, and Shen Ying said, "You've already seen the child, so you can leave now. My daughter and I shouldn't take up any more of Mr. Yanzhou's busy schedule."
Her voice was sarcastic, but Jin Yanzhou didn't argue with her. Instead, he said to Jiang Xingyao, "Shall we have a chat? Former sister-in-law."
"Yaoyao has nothing to talk to you about. She has nothing to do with your Jin family anymore."
"Jin Yanzhou, I don't care what methods you're going to use, don't target my friends, or I won't hesitate to cause trouble at your Jin family's house. You should know the consequences," Shen Ying said.
Jin Yanzhou looked embarrassed and said, "Yingying, don't be angry. I'll listen to you. If we don't want to talk, we don't have to."
Even as he said that, his gaze fell on Jiang Xingyao once again.
Jiang Xingyao had already guessed his intentions. She said bluntly, "Jin Qingyu's affairs have nothing to do with me. If you want to use me to target Jin Qingyu, there is no need for that. How you fight is your business. I have no interest in getting involved."
A fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Jin Yanzhou's face as he asked, "You should know about Jiang Cancan, right? They insulted you like that, don't you want to retaliate?"
“That’s my own business, you don’t need to worry about it,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Having said all that, Jin Yanzhou finally shut his mouth.
Shen Ying pushed Jin Yanzhou out impatiently. Jin Yanzhou didn't insist on keeping him. He said, "I've been staying in Hong Kong these past few days. I'll come see you tomorrow. Yingying, I think we still need to have a good talk about this. It's not good for Xiao Shuijing if we're always separated."
Shen Ying ignored him. After the door closed, she said sarcastically, "He knows that living apart is not good. Does he want Xiao Shuijing to go back to the capital and be a child who can't see the light of day?"
She's unwilling to come to the port city, unwilling to give me a formal status, and yet she's still after the child I painstakingly gave birth to. Where in the world can you find such a good deal?
Shen Ying has always been dignified and elegant. She must have been extremely angry today, which is why she forgot that Jiang Xingyao and the others were also present and just started venting her temper.
Jiang Xingyao still couldn't understand: "He doesn't have any other women around him. You two are both unmarried. Grandpa said before that as long as Jin Yanzhou has someone he likes, he won't interfere too much. Even so, why is he still unwilling to go to the Shen family to propose marriage?"
If Jin Qingyu has such thoughts, it's probably because he can't bear to part with his Jiang Cancan. But Jin Yanzhou hasn't had any involvement with other women at all, and he seems to care a lot about Shen Ying. So why is he unwilling to give her that title?
Shen Ying lowered her head slightly, looking very strange. Shen Ming said, "Xingyao, let me go for a walk with you, let my sister have some peace and quiet."
Jiang Xingyao knew that she had inadvertently asked something she shouldn't have. She nodded and followed Shen Mingsu out the door.
The autumn breeze was blowing in the port city. The two strolled along the asphalt road. Shen Mingsu then said, "Xingyao, don't blame my sister. She has never been able to sort out the things between her and Jin Yanzhou."
"How could I blame Sister Shenying? It was my fault just now; I asked something I shouldn't have. Sister Shenying has had a hard time too," Jiang Xingyao said.
She felt that Shen Mingsu was being overly polite in this matter, and a strange feeling arose in her heart, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
In the end, Jiang Xingyao managed to suppress these strange thoughts.
She went to the studio again and handed over the original manuscripts of songs that others had commissioned from her to Xu Feifei.
When Xu Feifei saw her, she was extremely surprised: "Xingyao, so you are the mysterious Qu Weiyi. Did you write all these songs?"
If that's the case, then Cheng Jing back then... must have plagiarized it!
Ever since he plagiarized your song "Thorn," he hasn't released any new music.
Xingyao, I think once all these songs of yours are released, you will be able to prove yourself very quickly.
As for those who actually plagiarized, they are the ones who should be nailed to the pillar of shame and never be able to hold their heads up high again.
By the way, why didn't you sign your name as Jiang Xingyao? Why did you sign it as Qu Weiyi? Doesn't that make it impossible for you to prove your identity?
Xu Feifei was as enthusiastic as ever. Before Jiang Xingyao could even speak, she started rambling on and on.
When Jiang Xingyao heard Xu Feifei mention Cheng Jing, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. She took out her ID card and showed Xu Feifei the name on it: "Just consider it a name change. The truth about the past will come out eventually. There's no need to rush it now."
She's not standing high enough yet.
She had truly witnessed the madness of Cheng Jing's fans.
Those people love to call black white.
Until she was absolutely certain of a fatal blow, she remained patient and wouldn't engage in any more pointless entanglements.
"Then I'll call you Sister Weiyi from now on?"
"Oh, right, Sister Wei, this is your trophy. Sister Shen Ying asked me to keep it for you, and now it's finally back to its rightful owner," Xu Feifei said.
Jiang Xingyao had already seen the trophy in photos, but actually holding it in her hands and feeling its heavy weight still gave her a strange sense of satisfaction.
Jiang Xingyao did not take the trophy with her; she left it in the studio, believing that these honors would benefit the studio's future development.
The news of Jiang Xingyao leaving the capital reached Jin Qingyu not long afterward.
Assistant Xu, carrying the note left by Jiang Xingyao and the results of the investigation, went to Yahe Garden to meet Jin Qingyu and told him everything.
Even though he already had a guess in his heart, when he received the definite answer, Jin Qingyu still felt a void in his heart.
Without hesitation, he dialed Jiang Xingyao's number directly. He thought it wouldn't be answered, but the phone was picked up after only a few rings, as if Jiang Xingyao had been waiting for this call all along.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Jin Qingyu, I've already given you the results of everything I was supposed to investigate. I have no regrets about our cooperation. I hope that when you find out the truth, you will keep your promise to me."
If you insist on announcing to the media that your mother's death was due to the Qu family's medicine, please explain clearly that this has nothing to do with my maternal grandfather.
A cold, clear voice, mixed with the crackling of electricity, came through. Although her tone was no different from usual, Jin Qingyu still felt that something had changed, making him extremely uneasy.
He asked, "Yaoyao, where are you?"
Jiang Xingyao didn't respond at all, hung up the phone, and threw the phone that Jin Qingyu had left him into the trash can on the side of the road.
She kept the phone for the sole purpose of explaining things to Jin Qingyu. Now that the matter was settled, she no longer needed it.
Hearing the dial tone after the call was disconnected, Jin Qingyu finally realized what was happening. He said, "Investigate, track down this call. I must find out where Yaoyao is."
The few sheets of paper he was holding contained densely packed information about the laboratory left behind by Jiang Xingyao.
As for the note, it contained Jiang Xingyao's threat: she said she wouldn't mind a fight to the death.
The old man's men were still guarding the door, and Jin Qingyu's face was full of impatience.
There was another note on the table.
That was left behind by Jiang Cancan.
Unlike Jiang Xingyao's simple sentence, Jiang Cancan's note was filled with dense writing, detailing how she was forced to obey the old man's orders and go to the United States to temporarily avoid trouble.
Reason told Jin Qingyu that he should first go to Jiang Cancan to clarify everything that had been troubling him for so many years. But now, it seemed that he couldn't let go of anything else except Jiang Xingyao.
He suddenly felt a little dazed. What exactly did he feel for Jiang Xingyao? Did he really not like her?
