Chapter 24 Thinking about your lover?
Jiang Xingyao's mood is absolutely terrible right now.
Not long after Jiang Yuncheng left, Jin Yanzhou arrived. He must have seen everything that happened in the banquet hall, and he kept asking Jiang Xingyao about her marital status with Jin Qingyu.
Jiang Xingyao was already extremely annoyed, but she didn't dare let Jiang Yuncheng or the Jin family find out anything, and she also had to speak well of Jin Qingyu in front of Jin Yanzhou.
But Jin Yanzhou wasn't so easily fooled in this matter.
He held onto every clue and wouldn't let go of Jiang Xingyao.
In the end, it was Shen Ming who came over and found an excuse to send Jin Yanzhou away, thus rescuing Jiang Xingyao.
Now that Jiang Xingyao and Shen Mingsu are face to face, she feels increasingly awkward. It seems that she always runs into this person whenever she is at her most vulnerable.
Shen Mingsu also noticed this, and he joked, "It seems that Miss Jiang and I are really destined for each other. If Miss Jiang wasn't already married, I would have suspected that you were arranged by heaven for me. Otherwise, how could I be so punctual in helping Miss Jiang out of trouble every time?"
Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, it is unclear.
They had been calling Jiang Xingyao Mrs. Jin all this time, but today they suddenly switched to calling her Miss Jiang.
Jiang Xingyao felt even more embarrassed.
She ignored Shen Mingsu's joke and simply thanked him, saying, "Thank you for today, Mr. Shen. I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude sometime in the future."
"There's no need for a meal. I truly admire Miss Jiang's talent and look forward to working with her. If Miss Jiang is willing, the doors of Shen's Entertainment will always be open to her."
"I saw everything that happened today. I'm sure Miss Jiang wouldn't want to be a stay-at-home mom who doesn't know anything, as others might say," Shen Ming said.
His words truly touched Jiang Xingyao's heart.
Jiang Xingyao's pupils flickered; she wavered slightly.
Shen Mingsu added, "Miss Jiang plays the piano very well. I have just returned to the country and I really need someone like Miss Jiang around me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be holding a piano competition to select people. Miss Jiang can consider it."
"As long as you're willing to come, the Shen family..."
"She doesn't want to." Jin Qingyu's voice suddenly rang out from behind, interrupting Shen Mingsu.
He walked over to Jiang Xingyao and pulled her into his arms, adding, "My wife is pampered and spoiled. I can't bear to let her travel the world with your band. She can't stand that kind of hardship."
He had changed into a black suit, and when he stood next to Jiang Xingyao, he exuded a powerful aura of pressure.
His hand was on Jiang Xingyao's waist, his fingers gently caressing her, with an undisguised possessiveness.
The excessively close proximity and the scent of ebony were disturbing and unsettling.
Jiang Xingyao reached out to push him, but couldn't budge him.
Instead, he tightened his grip on Jiang Xingyao's waist even more: "Mrs. Jin, be good, don't make a fuss."
Looking at his hand, Jiang Xingyao recalled how he had led Jiang Cancan away earlier.
A wave of nausea washed over her, and she pinched the man's wrist hard. The man merely frowned, his hand still gripping his waist, and his eyes looked at Shen Mingsu defiantly.
Shen Mingsu also refused to back down, saying, "Mr. Jin, please get this straight. Miss Jiang is your wife, not your pet. What right do you have to make decisions for her?"
"I discussed this with her. Even if she didn't want to come to Shen's, she should have told me herself, not you refusing on her behalf."
"Our marital affairs are none of your business, Mr. Shen's concern. As Yao Yao's husband, I know what she's thinking. She has no interest in working for your Shen Group, so Mr. Shen, just give up on that idea." Jin Qingyu shoved Shen Mingsu aside, then put his arm around Jiang Xingyao and started to leave.
His self-righteous words, one after another, struck Jiang Xingyao's ears, making it impossible for her to bear it any longer.
Her feet were rooted to the spot. She asked, "Jin Qingyu, what gives you the right to make this decision for me? And what makes you think you know me so well?"
"Because you don't come home for ten days or half a month, because you're having an affair, or..."
"You're getting angry with me because of him? You're that eager to leave with him?"
Jin Qingyu irritably loosened his tie, his cold gaze meeting Jiang Xingyao's. In the woman's clear eyes, he seemed to see disgust.
That look was like a thorn, piercing his heart.
Jin Qingyu grabbed Jiang Xingyao's chin and forced her to look him in the eye: "Let me tell you, no way. Once you're in the Jin family, you'll be Mrs. Jin for life. You can't go anywhere but by my side, and nobody can take you away."
The man's voice was cold, and Jiang Xingyao could see a dark, gray glint in his eyes, a possessiveness so intense it was almost overwhelming.
The pain in her chin brought tears to her eyes. She felt as if the person in front of her was a furious lion, ready to devour her at any moment.
Jiang Xingyao pushed him forcefully, but still couldn't move him.
Instead, the man exerted force, pinching her chin and pulling her into his arms. Jiang Xingyao's nose bumped against his chest, causing her to groan in pain.
Just as she was about to scold him for being crazy, Shen Mingsu suddenly reached out and pulled Jin Qingyu away.
He stood in front of Jiang Xingyao: "Mr. Jin, Miss Jiang is just your wife, not your property. How can you continue to disregard her wishes like this?"
What's the difference between what you're doing and imprisonment?
Since you never consider Miss Jiang's feelings, why do you forbid her from getting a divorce?
"Mr. Jin is being utterly despicable."
It wasn't until she heard Shen Mingsu's powerful and resolute words that Jiang Xingyao recovered from her shock.
She never expected that Shen Mingsu would protect her so much.
It's clearly Jin Qingyu who's acting crazy here; this is a matter between him and his wife. He doesn't need to get involved in this mess.
"I'm despicable? No matter how despicable I am, I'm not as despicable as you, the male homewrecker who tried to steal my boyfriend right in front of me."
Mr. Shen studied abroad and really learned all sorts of low-class things. What, you interfered in other people's marital relationship and pretended to protect other people's wives in front of others. Do you think you're very brave?
"Or do you find being a mistress enjoyable and glorious?"
As Jin Qingyu spoke, he slowly rolled up his sleeves.
As he finished speaking, he suddenly threw a punch, which landed squarely on Shen Mingsu's face, causing Shen Mingsu to stagger back a step.
Jiang Xingyao was startled and quickly reached out to steady him. She looked at Jin Qingyu and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What? Feeling sorry for her?" Jin Qingyu asked, reaching out to touch Jiang Xingyao's face. Jiang Xingyao immediately shook his hand away: "Can you stop acting crazy? President Shen and I are just friends. We're not as filthy as you think."
Jiang Xingyao then looked at Shen Mingsu.
The man's fair cheek was swollen high, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, which looked very serious.
Jiang Xingyao felt a little guilty. Just as she was about to apologize, Shen Mingsu seemed to know what she was going to say and preemptively said, "Miss Jiang, you don't need to feel guilty. This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize for some muscle-bound idiots."
Shen Mingsu's mouth is also quite sharp.
The atmosphere around us was far more than just tense.
Jin Qingyu reached out and pulled Jiang Xingyao back behind him.
Shen Mingsu was not to be outdone. He took off his watch, unbuttoned his cuffs, and revealed the clear muscle lines on his forearms. A battle seemed imminent.
Just then, Shen Ying rushed out of the banquet hall and grabbed Shen Mingsu: "Enough! We're all in the same circle, we see each other all the time. You just got back to the country, why are you..."
“Cousin, don’t worry about it. It was some people who went crazy first. If I don’t fight back, won’t people think that our Shen family is afraid of the Jin family?” Shen Ming said.
Jin Qingyu scoffed: "President Shen is quite adept at severing ties; he didn't mention a word about you poaching her."
They had only exchanged two words when they were about to start fighting.
Just then, a commotion arose from the banquet hall, and someone shouted, "Call the police!"
It was an hour later when Jiang Xingyao and Shen Ying came out of the police station after giving their statements.
Jin Qingyu and Shen Mingsu stood on opposite sides of the police station entrance, clearly neither willing to concede to the other.
However, Jin Qingyu has no time to argue with Shen Ming.
Because Jin Yanzhou was smiling obsequiously as he spoke to the police officer in charge of the matter.
After Shen Ying came out, she took Shen Mingsu away first.
Jin Yanzhou walked straight towards Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu and said, "Hey, second brother, how old are you? Why are you still so impulsive?"
"He's not a child anymore, why would he get into a fight at a banquet? Isn't this just causing trouble for the police?"
"You called the police?" Jin Qingyu glanced at him coldly.
Jin Yanzhou did not deny it: "As an older brother, I can't just watch my younger brother fight and go astray, can I?"
What's wrong? Are you having a fight with your sister-in-law? Are you getting a divorce?
Jin Yanzhou probed, his face clearly showing a teasing and smug expression.
"You're overthinking it. I will never divorce Yao Yao in this lifetime." Jin Qingyu said this and pulled Jiang Xingyao away.
Jin Yanzhou followed up: "Don't be so definitive. I don't think your sister-in-law wants to spend her life with you."
Ah Yu, your brother is really curious, how many more days can you hold onto this position as president of the Jin Group?
With no attempt to conceal his provocation, Jin Yanzhou didn't care whether Jin Qingyu responded or not, and directly tried to get into the car with Jin Qingyu: "Hey, I went to the police station today because of you, shouldn't you thank me properly? How about this, I'll go to your place for dinner today."
"Get out." Jin Qingyu stopped Jin Yanzhou from opening the car door, shoved Jiang Xingyao into the back seat, and slammed the door shut.
Just as the car door closed, Jiang Xingyao heard Jin Yanzhou chuckle in a cryptic tone. His voice, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, reached her ears as he said, "See you tomorrow, little brother, sister-in-law."
Through the rear window, Jiang Xingyao could still see him standing there waving high, looking like he was in a very good mood.
Or perhaps he is genuinely in a good mood right now.
After all, they had caught Jin Qingyu in a compromising situation.
Jiang Xingyao was somewhat stunned.
Jin Qingyu's sinister voice rang in my ear: "What? Still thinking about your lover?"
