Chapter 192 Jin Qingyu, Don't Be So Rude
While Jin Qingyu was talking to President Zhao, his gaze was constantly fixed on Jin Yanzhou.
He could clearly see that Jin Yanzhou's expression was becoming more and more serious, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Big brother, why aren't you saying anything? Do you also think I'm right?"
The Shen and Zhao families were already linked by marriage, and Young Master Zhao was in love with Miss Shen. Wasn't this a perfect match? President Zhao really shouldn't have interfered.
Before President Zhao could recover from his shock, Jin Qingyu had already finished speaking. Jin Yanzhou finally lost his temper, slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and was about to walk out.
Jin Qingyu said, "Brother, we're talking about the Zhao family, why did you suddenly get up? You seem even more anxious than President Zhao."
Jin Qingyu was asking a question he already knew the answer to, but Jin Yanzhou still paused for a moment. He glanced at Jin Qingyu and asked, "I'm going to have a smoke. Do you want to come with me?"
At this point, Jin Qingyu had no intention of letting him off the hook. After saying "meeting adjourned," he pushed his wheelchair and followed him.
The tightness in Jin Yanzhou's chest was becoming increasingly difficult to relieve.
Before he had taken two steps, Jin Qingyu suddenly called out to President Zhao again: "Speaking of which, President Zhao, I remember you said last time that you would give me a set of sheet music. There's no time like the present, let's go get it now."
Mr. Zhao vaguely sensed that something was off about the atmosphere between the Jin brothers.
Especially Jin Qingyu, he did agree to that matter, but couldn't the other party see that the Zhao family was in trouble? Coming to their door at this time, wasn't that just deliberately looking for trouble?
Unfortunately, the cooperation with the Jin family put the Zhao family at a disadvantage, so even if President Zhao was dissatisfied, he couldn't say it directly.
He could only tentatively say, "Mr. Jin, look at this... how about I have someone deliver it to you when I have time, so you won't have to go all the way yourself?"
“No trouble at all, I’m free today, let’s go, Mr. Zhao,” Jin Qingyu said.
With a smile on his lips, he brushed past Jin Yanzhou, who finally said, "I'll go too."
"This..." President Zhao was even more confused now, not knowing what the two Jin brothers were up to.
The Shen family is still keeping it under wraps, and even President Zhao doesn't know yet that Shen Ying's child is actually Jin Yanzhou's.
Jin Qingyu scoffed, "Brother, I have a reason for going back with President Zhao. What are you going there for?"
"I'll keep an eye on you, Jin Qingyu. Don't forget what Grandpa said: in our cooperation with the Zhao family, it's up to us both to rely on our own abilities. Don't even think about causing trouble." Jin Yanzhou spoke vaguely, still stubborn.
Jin Qingyu didn't reply, his eyes already filled with amusement.
He wanted to see how long Jin Yanzhou could keep up his act.
After meeting Shen Ying, will his good older brother still be able to remain as calm as he is now?
The Zhao family mansion was in complete chaos.
To be precise, it seemed like a one-woman show by Madam Zhao herself.
After finishing her meal, Shen Ying took it upon herself to coax Xiao Shuijing to sleep.
Zhao Chengmo stayed by her side, and would occasionally bring Chen Ying tea and water, his manner was incredibly gentle.
The more Madam Zhao watched, the more upset she became. She kept muttering to herself, complaining that Zhao Chengmo was really useless for insisting on raising someone else's child.
Zhao Chengmo ignored her.
Madam Zhao was on the other side, wiping her nose and tears.
Shen Ying added, "Auntie, please be quiet for a while. You're disturbing my daughter's sleep."
“If you find it noisy, then go back to your own home. What kind of person are you to stay at my Zhao family’s house?” Mrs. Zhao said.
Shen Ying said, "I will be the Zhao family's daughter-in-law from now on, so of course I will stay in the Zhao family. Moreover, Cheng Mo personally picked me up from the hospital. I don't know how many media outlets saw me along the way. Anyway, everyone knows that I am the Zhao family's fiancée. It's not appropriate for my aunt to kick me out."
Madam Zhao clutched her chest: "Oh my God, what kind of sins have I committed? No one ever told me before that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was such a shameless person!"
Shen Ying kept her head down, ignoring Madam Zhao's scolding.
The sound of a car engine gradually came from the courtyard. Aunt Wang went out to take a look, and then came back with a happy face to report: "Madam, the master is back."
Madam Zhao stopped crying, got up and went out to greet him, saying, "Master, you're finally back! Quickly take a look at your son, I can't take it anymore. Please contact the Shen family and tell them to take his daughter away as soon as possible."
Shen Ying and Zhao Chengmo exchanged a glance and stood up as well: "Uncle Shen, my father said that since the marriage has been arranged, I am a member of your Zhao family. You have to accept it whether you like it or not."
Anyway, Zhao Chengmo and I are both single, and we're both willing, so there's no need for you elders to stop us.
As she finished speaking, Shen Ying's voice suddenly lowered, and her gaze became somewhat stiff as she looked at the person following behind President Zhao.
Jin Yanzhou also looked at her, his gaze deep and his face filled with complex emotions.
His mouth moved instinctively, and the word "Yingying" almost slipped out, but he swallowed it back down when his gaze fell on the person next to him.
However, his gaze kept drifting towards Shen Ying without him noticing.
He heard every single word Shen Ying said.
Even Shen Ying's firm stance that she wanted to marry into the Zhao family.
She stood right in front of him, holding his daughter in her arms. If he just asked her, he might be able to find out what Shen Ying was thinking.
But Jin Yanzhou pursed his lips and forcibly suppressed his impulses time and time again.
The people you know best are only three steps apart, yet it feels like there's an insurmountable chasm between you.
Shen Ying quickly withdrew her gaze and stood next to Zhao Chengmo with a smile on her face. The sunlight shone on her face, illuminating her smile, as if she and Zhao Chengmo were a match made in heaven.
Jin Qingyu said, "Miss Shen is right. I think Miss Shen and Young Master Zhao are a good match. President Shen, instead of breaking them up, why not just let them be together?"
"Jin Qingyu!" Jin Yanzhou couldn't hold back and blurted out. When Jin Qingyu's probing eyes looked over, the words that were on the tip of his tongue changed. He said, "Can't you be a little more discreet and stop meddling in other people's family affairs?"
"To you, are all the people here strangers?" Jin Qingyu asked, looking at Jin Yanzhou and noticing his disheveled expression. "Our Jin family is about to reach a cooperation agreement with the Zhao family. I thought we were all one family. Don't you think so, brother?"
Jin Qingyu was here with ill intentions the whole time, and every word he said was a deliberate attempt to trick him. Jin Yanzhou wanted to tear Jin Qingyu apart, but at the same time, he was worried about Shen Ying.
Even though they had only been apart for a few days, Jin Yanzhou felt a great sense of panic when he saw Shen Ying.
When he returned from Hong Kong, he was quite certain that Shen Ying would wait for him, but now that he saw that Shen Ying was planning to move into the Zhao family home, he suddenly became a little uncertain.
Although Madam Zhao was momentarily stunned by the arrival of Jin Qingyu and Jin Yanzhou, she quickly recovered and slapped her thigh, sighing, "Second Young Master Jin, please stop joking."
My son is the rightful heir of the Zhao family; how could he marry a woman who brought a bastard child into the family?
As Madam Zhao's insults became increasingly harsh, Jin Yanzhou's fists tightened little by little.
The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his gloomy eyes seemed to want to tear Madam Zhao to pieces as well.
Little Crystal had just fallen asleep when she was startled awake by Madam Zhao's scolding and started crying incessantly. Shen Ying immediately instructed Zhao Chengmo, "Go and get me the pacifier right away. It's in my bag."
Without hesitation, Zhao Chengmo stepped into the house.
Enraged, Madam Zhao launched into another tirade of curses, accusing Shen Ying of bewitching Zhao Chengmo and making him willingly raise her child.
Among these people, the one with the worst expression was not the two elderly people from the Zhao family, but Jin Yanzhou.
He could barely contain his urge to question Shen Ying.
That's his child. He had already promised Shen Ying that he would marry her in a grand and glorious way. He didn't understand why Shen Ying had to come to the Zhao family and be insulted again and again.
They even let other men take care of their children.
Zhao Chengmo not only brought over the pacifier, but also made a bottle of formula for Xiao Shuijing.
But he had never truly taken care of a child before. The bottle of formula was covered in foam, and Shen Ying frowned slightly: "Hold the baby for me for a moment, and I'll make another cup."
"Enough!" Madam Zhao lost her temper once again. She yelled at Shen Ying and then pulled President Zhao over. "Why don't you contact the Shen family right away? My Zhao family absolutely cannot accept this kind of daughter-in-law."
Shen Ying raised her eyes: "Don't waste your time. If Uncle doesn't have a proper reason, our Shen family won't call off the engagement, and my dad won't come either."
"So what if I have a child? Cheng Mo doesn't mind, so you shouldn't either. A marriage between the Zhao and Shen families is good for both."
Every word Shen Ying spoke was aimed at the Zhao family elders, but every word pierced Jin Yanzhou's heart. Jin Yanzhou said, "Shen Ying, why did you do this? You brought your child with you when you married into the Zhao family. Did you ever think about what the child's biological father would think?"
At this moment, he no longer cared that Jin Qingyu was present; he was eager to find out the answer.
He had considered that Shen Ying might break up with him, and he knew that Shen Ying would occasionally throw a tantrum, but they already had Xiao Shuijing, and Shen Ying would definitely not marry someone else and let Xiao Shuijing suffer.
Once he has resolved his own issues, even if Shen Ying harbors a lot of resentment, he will have plenty of time to coax her.
Unlike Jin Qingyu, who had a stable home life while having affairs, he had never betrayed Shen Ying or made any fundamental mistakes. He felt that even for the sake of the child, Shen Ying should not marry someone else.
But Shen Ying's words today truly hit him hard.
