Chapter 184 During those five hours, his mind was only on Jiang Xingyao.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Cancan was met with a long silence, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
After a while, perhaps worried that Jin Qingyu would hang up the phone, she gritted her teeth and said again, "Brother Qingyu, if I told you that Jiang Xingyao is also in the US, would you come?"
"Jiang Cancan, stop talking nonsense." After saying this, the man hung up the phone.
When Jiang Cancan called back, the call could no longer be connected.
Jiang Cancan's expression was somewhat distorted. After thinking it over again and again, she still called He Qifeng again to borrow money.
She had only been in the US for a short time when her wallet was stolen and she couldn't find her documents. Replacing them wouldn't be easy either.
This gradually shattered her original plan to hide here and wait for Jin Qingyu to come to her.
She's almost out of food. If she doesn't hurry up and find a way to get Jin Qingyu to come and pick her up, she doesn't know how long she'll live. At this point, Jiang Cancan has no idea what her previous plans were.
After achieving her goal, Jiang Cancan came out and her gaze fixed on a certain building. If she remembered correctly, the two people who were with Jiang Xingyao earlier had entered this building.
A calculating glint flashed in her eyes.
If Jiang Xingyao hadn't disrupted Jin Qingyu's thoughts, he would still be wholeheartedly protecting her by now, instead of ignoring her like this.
Even though she still held that crucial condition in her hand, Jin Qingyu still showed no intention of interfering with her.
No matter what Jiang Xingyao is doing here, she is the one who got her into this situation, and she will definitely not let Jiang Xingyao get away with it.
Jiang Xingyao returned to the hotel, still somewhat dazed. The figure seemed strangely familiar, and even the sight of him reminded her of what happened at the Jiang Group building.
All of this seemed like a deliberate arrangement of fate, yet when you chased after them, you couldn't catch anything.
She couldn't tell if it was all an illusion or if Jiang Cancan was really there.
She was in low spirits and didn't notice that Madam Rongyue also seemed uneasy today.
"Xingyao, have you been with Fila all day?" Madam Rongyue asked.
Hearing her voice, Jiang Xingyao came back to her senses: "Pila was in a bad mood, so I had a few drinks with her. After I had Eric pick her up, I came back."
Lady Rongyue sighed, "That girl Fila is both ambitious and talented. It's a real pity that she's under Nelia's care."
Jiang Xingyao hesitated for a moment and said, "There's one more thing. Before Fila and Eled left, they both told me to be careful of Tyre. They only said that one sentence, and I don't really know what they meant."
Lady Rongyue's expression was somewhat solemn: "Today he is Neria's prized student, it's always better to be careful."
From Madam Rongyue's words, Jiang Xingyao was once again certain that this Nilia's character was probably indeed a bit problematic.
Madam Rongyue asked again, "Yaoyao, did you check your phone today?"
Jiang Xingyao paused for a moment: "Not yet, I've been busy with Fila. Did you send me a message?"
As she spoke, she pulled her phone out of her bag, but Madam Rongyue simply held out her hand. "There's no news. I just wanted to tell you that you should leave your phone with me for now, and you should focus on practicing."
Jiang Xingyao did not hesitate and handed the phone to Madam Rongyue for safekeeping: "Then I'll trouble Aunt Yue to keep a close eye on me. I'll try my best to master what I've learned during this time as quickly as possible."
She originally used her phone as a communication tool, and now there are hardly any people on this newly registered number. Ji Yunyin and the others know she's busy, so they don't usually contact her. The phone is basically just for show in her hands.
Madam Rongyue wanted to help her keep it safe, and she naturally had no objection.
After taking Jiang Xingyao's phone, Madam Rongyue closed the door and left.
She didn't even unlock her phone before seeing a dense barrage of pop-up windows appear on her screen.
"The second son of the Jin family knelt at Nanhua Temple, seemingly to apologize to his ex-wife."
"Leading the doctor step by step, one step at a time, to discuss the deep affection behind Young Master Jin."
"A deep dive into the old stories of Hong Kong: Young Master Jin risks his life to save his wife."
"Jiang Xingyao, do you even have a heart? Look back at him."
All the densely packed entries were related to Jin Qingyu. Before Jiang Xingyao returned, Madam Rongyue had already opened and read them once.
She was also deeply shocked.
When she first made this request, she was deliberately making things difficult for me.
She simply couldn't believe that a top-tier noble like Jin Qingyu would actually go to Nanhua Temple and kowtow every step of the way just to prove his sincerity.
She still remembers that when Jin Qingyu went to see her, he was in a wheelchair and his face was ashen.
She was even very clear about the accident in Hong Kong before.
What is certain is that the man's injury never healed, but even so, he managed to do it in the end, even with a doctor by his side.
It was a complete video, lasting five hours.
Madam Rongyue didn't finish watching it, but people online have already recorded the key parts and posted them everywhere.
About an hour earlier, Jin Qingyu had been coughing incessantly and could barely get up. Dr. Shi was beside him and gave him some medicine, which barely suppressed the cough a little, allowing him to continue climbing.
After about two and a half hours, blood was seeping from his head, and he was coughing up blood. His assistant kept urging him to come back another time, but he didn't listen.
After that, he didn't climb step by step anymore; he staggered uphill, and every step was heartbreaking to watch.
Even though she had never met this person, Madam Rongyue felt a strange sensation when she saw these things.
Regardless of what Jin Qingyu was really thinking, Madam Rongyue was almost certain that during the five hours he was climbing Nanhua Temple, Jiang Xingyao was the only person on his mind.
The fact that the second young master of the Jin family would abandon his dignity and do such a thing naturally makes him a major focus of attention.
Many of these news headlines flooding the internet are not from the media; they are photos taken and posted by onlookers.
As can be seen from the video, there were only a few people on the mountain path at the beginning, but more and more people gathered later, obviously all there to watch the excitement.
It can be said that Jin Qingyu did not plan anything for this apology, nor did he create any persona for himself. The comments on the internet were all the opinions of the onlookers.
Madam Rongyue took out her phone and opened a few more entries. In the comments section below, many people were saying that Jiang Xingyao was ungrateful.
The plagiarism incident involving Jiang Xingyao was brought up repeatedly, and the comments section was almost unanimously against her, saying that the infamous Jiang Xingyao was not worthy of the affectionate Jin Qingyu.
Less than an hour after Jin Qingyu finished kowtowing, the criticisms leveled against Jiang Xingyao have completely disappeared.
Needless to say, it was the Jin family who intervened to suppress it.
After hesitating for a while, Madam Rongyue dialed a number on the Jin Group's official website and asked someone to transfer her to Jin Qingyu.
After waiting for a full ten minutes, a weak voice finally came through the microphone: "I have fulfilled your request. Please also keep your promise and tell the whole industry openly and honestly that Jiang Xingyao has not offended you."
Madam Rongyue hardened her heart and said, "I can agree, on the condition that you have someone remove all those news articles from the internet. This is between the two of us, and I don't want to make a big fuss about it."
On the other end of the phone, Jin Qingyu agreed quickly. He said, "After I find Yaoyao, I would appreciate your cooperation in saying a few words for her. She really loves music. The whole thing was my fault before, and she was kept in the dark."
If you have any complaints, please tell me. I'm the one who should apologize, so please don't make things difficult for Yao Yao.
His voice was too hoarse, especially when he spoke long sentences, and he had to stop to catch his breath in the middle. Many words were actually unclear in the microphone.
Madam Rongyue frowned, but in the end she didn't say anything more difficult. She just said, "President Jin, please remove the trending topic as soon as possible."
When she hung up the phone, her fingernails were white from gripping the phone, and she glanced guiltily toward the hotel room.
Jiang Xingyao is at a crucial juncture right now, and she doesn't want these external matters to affect her mindset.
Especially considering everything Jin Qingyu did today, even she, an outsider, was moved. It's easy to imagine that Jiang Xingyao wouldn't be indifferent, otherwise it would delay things for a long time.
She had to keep this a secret, so before putting her phone away, Madam Rongyue saved the five-hour video.
She wouldn't keep this from Jiang Xingyao forever; she would tell her all this herself after the competition.
Madam Rongyue went downstairs to buy some late-night snacks before returning to her room. Jiang Xingyao was still practicing the zither, and her playing was noticeably more composed than when they first met.
Madam Rongyue looked at her and smiled with relief: "Yaoyao, stop practicing for now. You've had some wine today, come and have some late-night snacks to calm your nerves."
After suppressing her complicated emotions, Jiang Xingyao belatedly realized that Madam Rongyue's attitude was a bit strange today. She asked, "Aunt Yue, are you in a bad mood today? Is something wrong? Can you tell me?"
"Nothing's wrong, it's just that the competition is getting closer and closer, and I'm starting to feel uncertain," Madam Rongyue replied casually.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Aunt Yue, I will do my best. From now on, I promise you I won't care about anything except things related to the competition."
