Chapter 249 Mr. Jin cares a lot about Sister Yao Yao
As soon as the reporter finished speaking, the audience erupted in an uproar.
These questions are so sharp, they seem to carry some unknown purpose, making it impossible not to think about them.
Even Zhou Huaiyan looked at Jiang Xingyao with a hint of worry on his face.
Only Jin Qingyu remained expressionless and utterly calm.
Jiang Xingyao paused for a moment before saying, "That's a very good question. I imagine many people here know that my mother is in the hospital and want to know about my family."
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you a story. It starts before my parents got married. Please listen carefully."
She was determined to clear Qu Xinting's name, and the reporter's difficult words gave her a suitable opportunity.
Jiang Xingyao slowly recounted everything she had heard from Bai Fang. She calmly observed the expressions on the faces of the audience, which shifted from curiosity to shock, and then to anger, but her voice grew increasingly calm.
After everything was finished, the huge press conference room fell completely silent for a moment.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and after what seemed like an eternity, whispers began to circulate.
"My God, I never imagined that President Jiang would be this kind of person."
What's the difference between what he's doing and human trafficking?
"Yes, President Qu is so pitiful. Such a beautiful young lady, and she has been ruined for most of her life."
Even so, she only kicked Mr. Jiang out of the house. In my opinion, she was too lenient. That kind of scum deserves to be torn to pieces.
...
What Jiang Yuncheng did was truly despicable.
After the people at the press conference realized what had happened, they were all indignant, and their voices were overwhelmingly in favor of the other.
When the angry shouts gradually subsided, the reporter who had initially questioned Jiang Xingyao said again, "These are all just Ms. Jiang's side of the story. What evidence do you have to prove that President Jiang cheated your mother?"
Or are you saying that your actions today are solely to ensure the smooth launch of the Qu family's new product, even at the cost of slandering your own father?
The reporter's words became increasingly sharp, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that she had ulterior motives and was deliberately trying to cause trouble.
However, many hesitant people also turned their skeptical gazes toward Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao said, "It's normal for everyone to have doubts about what I'm saying. I don't have any evidence right now, but Jiang Yuncheng and Bai Fang have already been arrested by the police. I expect that their crimes will be reported in a few days. You might as well wait for the police to release their information."
As for this reporter, surely he doesn't think I bribed the police to deliberately give false testimony to harm my own father, does he?
As Jiang Xingyao steered the conversation in that direction, the others present realized that there was something wrong with this aggressive reporter, and suddenly, all sorts of strange and suspicious gazes were cast upon her.
The reporter's eyes flickered, but he didn't press Jiang Xingyao for more information.
Without anyone deliberately causing trouble, the press conference ended smoothly and quickly. The event was also broadcast live online through the dojo's media. The story that Jiang Xingyao told so confidently also caused a huge uproar online.
After the press conference, there was a celebration banquet inside the Qu family, which Qu Xinting had arranged in advance. Jiang Xingyao naturally had to make an appearance at such an occasion.
Zhou Huaiyan and Jin Qingyu were both there. Zhou Huaiyan gave Jiang Xingyao a thumbs up: "Yaoyao, you did a great job today."
"If Aunt Qu could see this, she would definitely feel at ease entrusting the Qu family to you."
During this period, Zhou Huaiyan and Qu Xinting had the most contact.
Besides keeping herself busy like a wound-up machine, Qu Xinting's biggest worry is Jiang Xingyao.
She always regretted that she hadn't taught Jiang Xingyao well and hadn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. She worried that Jiang Xingyao wouldn't have the courage to support the Qu family in the future and that she would repeat her mistakes.
In Qu Xinting's mind, Jiang Xingyao's personality was too soft and too easily manipulated.
Zhou Huaiyan thought that if Qu Xinting could see Jiang Xingyao now, she would be very gratified.
“I don’t want the Qu family, I just want her to be alright,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Zhou Huaiyan was silent for a moment: "It will be alright. Aunt Qu is a lucky person and will definitely get better."
She's such a good person, and she's suffered so much for no reason. Heaven will surely have mercy on her; good days are sure to come from here.
Jiang Xingyao nodded gently. Right now, she had no other choice but to believe in these things.
Zhou Huaiyan didn't stay with Jiang Xingyao for long before going to negotiate with several high-ranking members of the Qu family.
Jin Qingyu then said, "That reporter today was arranged by Jiang Yuncheng from the beginning."
"You knew about his existence all along?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
Jin Qingyu said, "Yaoyao can handle these small fish and shrimps by herself, can't she?"
Although Jiang Xingyao was forced to attend this press conference, Zhou Huaiyan was right. The Qu family has been taken back by Qu Xinting and will eventually be handed over to Jiang Xingyao. It's not a bad thing for Jiang Xingyao to gain some experience now.
Jiang Xingyao asked, "Where has that person gone now?"
“Xu Wei has already handed him over to the police,” Jin Qingyu said.
Just then, a waiter came to deliver a message: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Gu and Miss Gu from Yunpu Group wish to see you."
Yunpu Group?
Jiang Xingyao asked, "Are you sure you've come to see me?"
She had only met Mr. Gu of Yunpu Group a few times, and there was no connection between them. On the contrary, he had a close working relationship with the Jin family.
"Yes, Mr. Gu said he has something to discuss with Miss Jiang."
“When Jiang Yuncheng hosted a cocktail party before, President Gu met with his mother-in-law privately. I’m afraid there’s some kind of deal between him and his mother-in-law,” Jin Qingyu said.
Despite her doubts, Jiang Xingyao found a quiet corner in the banquet hall and had someone invite President Gu and his sister in.
"Ms. Jiang, today's press conference was truly excellent. You're becoming more and more like a mother-in-law," said President Gu.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Mr. Gu, you're too kind. May I ask what brings you here today?"
President Gu didn't respond immediately, but glanced at Jin Qingyu: "My younger sister is unruly and doesn't have any playmates in the capital, so I thought I'd have her come over and make friends with Miss Jiang."
"I didn't expect Mr. Jin to be here today. It's been so long since we last met. Why don't we go over there for some tea and leave the girls some space?"
President Gu's words were rather deliberate, and Jiang Xingyao could sense that he was eager to get Jin Qingyu away.
Gu Zhiyuan quickly followed up on President Gu's words: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry to bother Sister Yaoyao. As you know, my brother and President Jin have always been close friends. I've wanted to meet Sister Yaoyao for a long time, but I haven't had the chance until today. I'm so glad I can finally meet you today."
Ignoring Jiang Xingyao's reaction, she sat down next to her, practically leaning half her body on top of her.
Jin Qingyu frowned first: "Miss Gu, please have some self-respect."
“Oh dear, Mr. Jin, we had a bit of a misunderstanding before. I know now that you like Sister Yaoyao, but it’s just normal interaction between girls. You can’t be so defensive, can you?” Gu Zhiyuan said.
“Let’s go, Mr. Jin. Let the girls talk to each other. We’ll go have a couple of drinks,” said Mr. Gu. He then turned to Jiang Xingyao and said, “Ms. Jiang, may I borrow Mr. Jin for a moment?”
Jiang Xingyao, also curious about what the brother and sister were up to, said, "President Gu, please do as you please. His affairs are none of my business."
Jin Qingyu was quickly pulled away by President Gu, and Jiang Xingyao went straight to the point: "Miss Gu, please speak frankly. I heard you contacted my mother? May I ask what it was about?"
Gu Zhiyuan said, "I heard that President Qu had an accident, but I haven't had a chance to ask yet. How is President Qu now?"
She seemed to have some worry in her words, but Jiang Xingyao knew very well that it was just an illusion.
If she genuinely cared about Qu Xinting, she should have asked from the moment she entered the room. The reason she brought up this topic now was simply to find a way to get closer to her.
Jiang Xingyao replied perfunctorily, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Gu. My mother is fine."
"That's good, that's good. Congratulations to Sister Yao Yao on the successful holding of today's press conference."
"Now that a highly effective weight-loss drug is on the market, has President Qu mentioned when he will help my sister-in-law find the drug?" Gu Zhiyuan asked.
Perhaps because of her eagerness, she quickly revealed her purpose.
Jiang Xingyao asked, "I'm so sorry, Miss Gu, my mother fell into a coma suddenly, and she hasn't told me about it yet. What happened to Mrs. Gu?"
She remembered that when she met Mrs. Gu at the party, the woman looked perfectly healthy.
With so many hospitals and pharmaceutical companies in the capital, the Qu family's reputation has been quite poor under Jiang Yuncheng's leadership over the years. It's rather strange that the Gu family would turn to the Qu family for medicine.
Could it be that Mrs. Gu has suddenly contracted some kind of intractable disease?
Thinking back to when she met Mrs. Gu before, Mrs. Gu looked rosy-cheeked, and Jiang Xingyao felt that the possibility was unlikely.
Gu Zhiyuan said, "It's like this, my sister-in-law has been diagnosed with leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant, but a suitable match has not yet been found. My sister-in-law is always in great pain, and my brother can't bear it. He heard that Yao Yao's grandfather loved to study all kinds of special drugs, so he wanted to ask the Qu family if they had any drugs to help leukemia patients and alleviate their pain."
My brother contacted President Qu about this before, and President Qu said he would help look for it after he finished his work. Sister Yao Yao, what do you think…”
Gu Zhiyuan didn't hide anything, but the mention of leukemia once again made Jiang Xingyao sense something strange.
Jiang Xingyao didn't show anything unusual. She simply said, "I see. My grandfather did leave behind a lot of notes. I'll take a look when I get back."
"Thank you so much, Sister Yao Yao. By the way, Sister Yao Yao, let's exchange contact information and keep in touch," Gu Zhiyuan said.
Jiang Xingyao didn't refuse, and casually remarked, "Mr. Gu is so good to Mrs. Gu."
Gu Zhiyuan's expression seemed to freeze for a moment, but she quickly broke into a smile: "Yes, my brother and sister-in-law fell in love at first sight, so of course they have a good relationship."
However, President Jin also cares a lot about Sister Yao Yao. At the previous party, when women tried to get close to him, President Jin firmly refused them all.
