Chapter 210 Yao Yao, go have dinner with him.
Assistant Yu's face was filled with panic. Jiang Xingyao looked at her guilty expression, her eyes growing colder and colder. She said, "Assistant Xu, let's call the police directly."
"No! You can't call the police! Aunt Yue, please, please put in a good word for me. Jiang Xingyao's hand is ruined now, so I'm the only one who can go with you to the Jinle Cup competition."
"If I get arrested now, you really won't be able to find a suitable replacement. You've been preparing for this competition for so long, and it's even authorized by the state. You..."
Assistant Yu was somewhat incoherent. She bumped past Assistant Xu and lunged forward to grab Madam Rongyue's arm.
These words were essentially an admission that she had arranged everything.
Madam Rongyue brushed her hand away: "Yu Lianxue, are you threatening me?"
"No, Aunt Yue, I'm doing this for your own good. You have no one else to rely on besides me right now."
"I've been by your side for so many years, and I was the person you chose from the very beginning. Isn't it perfect that I'm back now?" Assistant Yu said.
“Yu Lianxue, there’s no going back in this world. I confirmed with you again and again that you were the one who chose to leave. From the day you left, you were no longer my first choice. Take her away,” said Madam Rongyue.
Assistant Yu was also a junior colleague she took care of. Normally, she treated her assistant no differently than her own child. Now, seeing what the assistant had done, her face was full of disappointment.
"No, Aunt Yue, you need to think this through. Besides playing in the mud, we have no one else we can use. I..."
“Even if there’s no one else available, I won’t use you again. I will report this to my superiors. For deliberately harming a contestant in the Golden Music Cup, even if you get out of the police station, there will be no place for you in the entire music industry,” said Mrs. Rongyue.
Assistant Yu looked completely panicked at this moment. She struggled and tried to plead with Madam Rongyue, but Madam Rongyue didn't even want to look at her anymore.
Assistant Yu was quickly dragged out of the ward by Assistant Xu's men. Madam Rongyue walked to Jiang Xingyao's bedside and said, "It's my fault for misjudging people and trusting her too much. If I hadn't brought you to see her, then..."
“Aunt Yue, don’t blame yourself, I’m fine. She came in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to tell you everything. I’m sorry for making you worry.” As Jiang Xingyao spoke, she untied the bandage on her wrist in front of Madam Rongyue.
When Madam Rongyue saw that Jiang Xingyao only had a few minor scratches on her hands, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "I was so scared today. I'm so glad you're alright. I'm relieved that you're okay."
Out of the corner of her eye, her gaze fell on Jin Qingyu, and her voice became somewhat urgent: "What is he doing here?"
A vague unease rose in her heart. The news trending topics that she had asked Jin Qingyu to delete before resurfaced in her mind. She was now a little unsure whether Jiang Xingyao knew that Jin Qingyu had kowtowed to her step by step at Nanhua Temple.
If she finds out, will she make the same choice as Assistant Yu before?
“He saved me when the car hit me,” Jiang Xingyao said, pausing for a moment before adding without hesitation, “I don’t know why he was here.”
When Jiang Xingyao and Madam Rongyue talked about him, Jin Qingyu showed no expression on the surface, but he subtly tilted his head toward Jiang Xingyao, clearly showing his interest in the topic.
His expression darkened again when he heard Jiang Xingyao's overly cold words.
Assistant Xu returned from outside just in time to hear this. He said, "Madam, of course Mr. Jin came for you. We rushed over as soon as we heard the news about you. He..."
“Mr. Jin, I’d like to speak with you alone,” Mrs. Rongyue suddenly said, interrupting Assistant Xu.
"Aunt Yue, what do you have to say to him?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
When she looked at Jin Qingyu, she habitually frowned.
Jin Qingyu chuckled lightly: "Yaoyao, why are you so wary of me? What could I possibly do to your mentor? Since Madam Rongyue has something to say to me, then I have no choice but to listen attentively."
Although Jiang Xingyao still had some doubts, she didn't ask any more questions in the end. She left the ward and closed the door behind her.
Madam Rongyue said, "Thank you for saving Yaoyao today. You should have heard about her situation just now. She is going to participate in a very important competition. For this competition, she has been working like a clockwork for more than a year, never daring to relax for even a moment."
I know that if it weren't for you today, all her efforts over the years would have been in vain. Logically, I should thank you properly and shouldn't have stopped you from contacting Yao Yao.
I have heard some things about what happened between you two. Although I don't know what your purpose is in insisting on making up with Yao Yao, I have to tell you now: please don't provoke Yao Yao before the competition ends, and don't distract her.
As for your previous act of climbing Nanhua Temple for her, please don't tell her that now either.
“I never intended to tell her about this,” Jin Qingyu said.
Madam Rongyue continued, "Then please also consider other matters carefully. If you truly care about her, you shouldn't let her efforts go to waste, and you shouldn't be a stumbling block on her road to success. What do you think, Mr. Jin?"
Jin Qingyu did not immediately respond to Madam Rongyue's words. No matter how tactfully Madam Rongyue spoke, he could tell that in her heart, she did not support him in winning back Jiang Xingyao.
Jin Qingyu felt a dull, oppressive feeling, but he couldn't bring himself to get angry in front of Madam Rongyue. He was even a little happy for Jiang Xingyao.
He saw clearly how Qu Xinting and Jiang Yuncheng treated Jiang Xingyao.
After Jiang Xingyao and Qu Xinting broke off their relationship, he did intend to protect Jiang Xingyao under his wing, but he ultimately failed to do so.
Now that Jiang Xingyao has an elder who is wholeheartedly concerned for her, he is genuinely happy for her.
Even if the other party doesn't seem to approve now, it doesn't matter if he's with Jiang Xingyao, at least he knows that Yaoyao is loved by someone now.
The door to the ward opened, and Madam Rongyue and Jin Qingyu walked out one after the other.
Although Jin Qingyu was seriously injured, he was not in a position to need hospitalization. As soon as he came out, Assistant Xu rushed over to greet him.
Jiang Xingyao also arrived in front of Madam Rongyue and asked, "Aunt Yue, what did you say to him just now? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Madam Rongyue patted Jiang Xingyao's hand: "Yaoyao, we're leaving tomorrow. After all, he saved you. Why don't you treat him to a meal and say goodbye properly?"
"Aunt Yue, I..." It's true that Jin Qingyu saved her again, but the thought of having a meal alone with him still made Jiang Xingyao feel a little awkward.
“Go, Yaoyao,” Madam Rongyue said again.
"Then I'll take you back first," Jiang Xingyao said.
Assistant Xu said, "Madam, there's no need to trouble you. I'll take your teacher back for you. You should go have dinner with President Jin."
"Go, Yaoyao." Madam Rongyue repeated herself, and Jiang Xingyao finally agreed.
The hospital they were in was located in the most bustling area of the port city. After watching Assistant Xu leave with Madam Rongyue, the two of them did not take a taxi and walked on the road together in a tacit manner.
No one noticed that as they left the hospital, a black Rolls-Royce also left the parking lot at the same time.
Qu Xinting sat in the car, her eyes still a little red. Zhou Huaiyan comforted her, "Don't worry, Aunt Qu, Yaoyao is fine. As for the people who hurt her, I will make proper arrangements."
Qu Xinting did not respond, but simply nodded. Her hand was over her chest, clearly still somewhat shaken.
Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu strolled side by side on the streets of Hong Kong. When no one spoke, the atmosphere seemed strangely warm.
Jiang Xingyao glanced at Jin Qingyu, and in the dim light of the street lamps, she could see that Jin Qingyu had lost a lot of weight and looked rather haggard.
However, this was no longer Jiang Xingyao's concern. She spoke first, breaking the silence: "What would you like to eat? Western food or..."
"You choose for me," Jin Qingyu said, his eyes never leaving Jiang Xingyao throughout the journey.
The woman before him was as aloof as he remembered her, as if nothing could change her attitude towards him.
Jin Qingyu wanted to exchange pleasantries with her several times, but in the end he hesitated and didn't say a word. He himself didn't know when he had become so indecisive.
It seems that he only has so many concerns in front of Jiang Xingyao.
Perhaps his feelings for Jiang Xingyao had long since transcended simple possessiveness. These concerns seemed to be silently reminding him that he was becoming increasingly concerned about Jiang Xingyao's feelings.
In the end, Jiang Xingyao chose a private restaurant, which was also a music restaurant, with piano music playing in the lobby.
Jiang Xingyao had been to this place before with Shen Mingsu, back when she had just arrived in Gangcheng. At that time, the musician in the restaurant had an emergency, and Shen Mingsu recommended Jiang Xingyao to the owner to fill in.
Almost two years have passed since then, and Jiang Xingyao thought the boss no longer recognized her. However, just after the two of them finished ordering, the boss came to their table: "Is this Miss Jiang? When you came to help me out before, I could tell that your piano playing was extraordinary. I never expected that you would later win the championship in the Hong Kong piano competition."
I said to her, "You've played the piano here before, but my wife doesn't believe me. Could you please sign your name for me? I want to go back and have a good talk with her about it."
The boss had a very cheerful personality and didn't give Jiang Xingyao a chance to interrupt. He just kept talking on and on.
Jiang Xingyao had no reason to refuse such a small request. The boss quickly brought over paper and pen. While Jiang Xingyao was signing, the boss kept glancing at Jin Qingyu. He muttered to himself, "Hmm, Miss Jiang, your husband looks more and more handsome."
