Chapter 246 How come Jin Qingyu is so good at coaxing people?
When Jiang Xingyao came out of the police station again, she was still a little dazed.
Qu Xinting's ordeal was a complete scam, leaving one feeling depressed and heartbroken.
Jiang Xingyao squatted by the roadside, tears falling unconsciously. She thought of how she used to cautiously follow Qu Xinting when she was a child, and how Qu Xinting always treated her with coldness and indifference.
Even her maternal grandfather thought Qu Xinting was unreasonable and stepped in to take her away from the Jiang family.
Even her grandfather didn't know that Qu Xinting was not in control of her own destiny at that time; she was being controlled by others, and everything she did was not her own intention.
Grandpa never knew the truth; even on his deathbed, he was still angry at Qu Xinting for being so foolish.
Jiang Xingyao couldn't help but wonder when Qu Xinting had regained consciousness.
Thinking about how she and her beloved had been separated by fate, her father had passed away, and even her family fortune had been taken by others, a once high-and-mighty young lady suddenly became a madwoman that no one believed.
How did she get through those eight years in the mental hospital?
A suffocating pain pressed down on Jiang Xingyao's chest, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
She hated herself for being useless. Why couldn't she have discovered the problem sooner and rescued her mother sooner?
Even now, with her life hanging in the balance, she only now realizes the depth of her good intentions.
"Still thinking about Aunt Qu?" Jin Qingyu asked Bai Fang about a few more things. When Jiang Xingyao came out a little later, she saw the figure squatting by the roadside.
Her hands were on her knees, her face buried in her hands, and her shoulders were trembling; it was clear she was crying.
Jin Qingyu squatted down next to her: "It is truly heartbreaking that my mother-in-law has suffered such a fate. I have already asked Xu Wei to investigate the evidence of Jiang Yuncheng's murder of the hypnotist. When the time comes, he will be punished for multiple crimes and will definitely receive the lesson he deserves."
Yao Yao, since some things are already in the past, there's no need to dwell on them too much. Looking forward is often the most important thing.
Your mother-in-law has gotten rid of that scumbag and taken everything back from the Jiang family, which shows she's moved on. She probably doesn't want you to be stuck in the past, so Yaoyao, forget about it.
“I’m not angry about that, I’m angry at myself. Why wasn’t I more resolute back then? I’m her daughter, why couldn’t even I stand firmly by her side?” Jiang Xingyao said.
The more Qu Xinting tried to salvage the situation, the more useless Jiang Xingyao felt. She continued, "Before my grandfather passed away, I promised him at his bedside that I would take good care of him, but in the end I broke my promise."
I was completely unaware of even her determination to reclaim the Jiang family's assets.
I blame her for not being a good mother, but what about me? I've never been a good daughter. At least she protected me, while I've done nothing for her!
“No, Yaoyao, you did something. If it weren’t for you, your mother-in-law wouldn’t have been released by Jiang Yuncheng. You gave her a new path,” Jin Qingyu said.
A gentle, low voice seemed to penetrate Jiang Xingyao's eardrums with endless power. Jiang Xingyao suddenly said, "I want to go see my grandfather. At least I should tell him about my mother's injustice over the years and let him know that his daughter is not a completely foolish love-struck person."
“Okay, I’ll take you there,” Jin Qingyu said.
Jiang Xingyao did not refuse, and when they passed by a flower shop, Jin Qingyu even stopped to buy flowers.
As the car drove towards the western suburbs cemetery, a gentle breeze caressed her face, seemingly calming Jiang Xingyao's mind.
My grandfather's grave is not luxurious; it's just an ordinary tombstone.
Not long after his grandfather passed away, Jiang Yuncheng rushed to have the property notarized, and the shareholders of the Qu family also made a big fuss, all of them eyeing the Qu family's assets.
In order to seize the most benefits at the best time, no one cared about her grandfather. Even the funeral arrangements were all done by Jiang Xingyao herself, using her own savings from over the years. Naturally, she couldn't afford a lavish funeral.
At that time, she was only fifteen, a time when she was most sensitive to criticism. She couldn't bring herself to ask for help, afraid of being rejected or laughed at. So she had to find out and handle everything herself.
Being able to bury her grandfather here was the most dignified thing she could do for him at the time.
Later, Qu Xinting was sent away. She foolishly thought she could rebel against Jiang Yuncheng, so she went to the business school, where Jiang Yuncheng even cut off her living expenses.
Looking back now, Jiang Xingyao finds it funny how naive she was to think that getting into business school would allow her to take down Jiang Yuncheng.
Ultimately, it was because she was useless; she didn't even help Qu Xinting when she successfully took back everything from the Qu family.
Previously, only Jiang Xingyao came to pay her respects to her grandfather, and the tombstone was always bare. But today, when she came again, there was a bunch of withered chrysanthemums.
Although the flower stems have all dried up, a few petals are still left, suggesting that the flower hasn't been there for very long.
Upon seeing the bouquet of chrysanthemums, Jiang Xingyao seemed to have already guessed who had placed it there.
Previously, Qu Xinting had bewitched Jiang Yuncheng, always putting on an air of being ostracized by everyone. Some time ago, I heard that she kicked Jiang Yuncheng out of the house, no longer needing to worry about such things.
Perhaps it was during that time that she came here to visit her grandfather.
Jiang Xingyao placed the flowers she had brought next to the bouquet of chrysanthemums and said, "Jin Qingyu, I want to talk to Grandpa alone."
"I'll wait for you over there. Call me if you need anything." Jin Qingyu pointed to a place, then glanced at Jiang Xingyao again with concern before leaving.
As his figure receded into the distance, Jiang Xingyao said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. It's my fault for being unfilial. I failed to keep my promise and made Mom bear everything alone."
We've all misunderstood Mom. She's always been your good daughter, your pride. She was just tricked by some unscrupulous person back then; those things weren't her intention. She's never let you down; she's the qualified successor you've raised."
Despite having lost everything, Xu Qu Xinting managed to re-infiltrate the Qu family and regain control of it in less than a year. Jiang Xingyao was truly impressed by Xu Qu Xinting's courage and determination, regardless of whether she was her mother.
Jiang Xingyao thought that even if she had returned from business school and successfully entered Jiang's Group, she would never have been able to do what Qu Xinting did.
"But now she is unconscious, and Yaoyao doesn't know what to do. Grandpa, if you can hear Yaoyao's words, can you please bless her to wake up?"
Yao Yao still owes her an apology. Please, Grandpa, she's suffered so much these past years. Now it's all over, and only good days await her. Please, please let her wake up, okay?
At this moment, Jiang Xingyao knew no one else to turn to except her grandfather.
She was half-lying on the tombstone, her hands trembling slightly.
She found out all this too late, while Qu Xinting was unconscious.
She wanted to make amends to Qu Xinting, and wanted to talk to Qu Xinting, but now it seemed like she couldn't do anything.
A tremendous sense of powerlessness swept over Jiang Xingyao's entire body, making her hands and feet feel weak.
As darkness fell, the only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind. A chill seemed to creep into the air. Jiang Xingyao wiped away her tears, leaned against the tombstone, and stood up. Her legs were numb, and her eyes ached so much she felt like she couldn't open them.
It took quite a while before I could walk again.
Jin Qingyu was still standing in the direction he pointed out, waiting until he saw Jiang Xingyao coming over. He then went up to her, took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders: "Your eyes are all swollen from crying. When we get to the hospital, ask someone to prescribe some ointment to apply."
Jiang Xingyao shook her head, and was about to say no, when Jin Qingyu added, "Otherwise, when your mother-in-law wakes up and sees you like this, she will definitely be worried."
The words of refusal stuck in her throat, but Jiang Xingyao finally acquiesced to Jin Qingyu's suggestion. In her heart now, Qu Xinting was indeed number one.
"Jin Qingyu, why are you so good at comforting people lately?" Jiang Xingyao suddenly asked as the car drove towards the city.
Before, when Jin Qingyu forbade her to get a divorce, he would occasionally say nice things to coax her, but those were just the most ordinary sweet words.
But now it's different; now Jin Qingyu's comfort seems to reach her heart.
Jin Qingyu pondered for a moment: "Probably because I like it."
Because I like her, I calmed down and tried to understand her, carefully considering what she wanted. The more effort I put in, the more sincere I became.
Jiang Xingyao said, "You're quite honest."
Saying you like someone at this point is tantamount to saying you didn't like them before.
“I’m pursuing you, so of course I have to show my sincerity. It wouldn’t be right to be secretive at a time like this.” Jin Qingyu was even more frank.
By the time we finished eating and returned to the hospital, it was already 8 p.m.
Qin Jiangnan was standing guard outside Qu Xinting's hospital room.
Qu Xinting was still not awake, which was the expected answer, but Jiang Xingyao was still a little disappointed.
"Did Brother Mobei say how she is doing now?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
Qin Jiangnan comforted her, "My brother said that Aunt Qu's vital signs have stabilized and she is out of danger. It's only a matter of time before she wakes up. Yaoyao, don't worry too much."
"By the way, why are your eyes so red? Did that guy surnamed Jin bully you again?"
"No, it's getting late. You should go back first. I can keep watch here," Jiang Xingyao said.
"No need, I'm not tired. I'll stay and keep you company. Aren't you going back to Y country soon? I've already talked to Ji Yunyin. My brother will keep an eye on things during the day, and she'll come whenever she's free. I'll be here at night. You can rest assured about Aunt Qu; she won't let you have any worries," Qin Jiangnan said.
