Chapter 28 Yao Yao, wait for me to come back
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Xingyao's lips, and she said awkwardly, "What a coincidence."
He glanced behind Shen Mingsu.
She still had some doubts in her mind, wondering if the person she had just seen was really Shen Ying.
"Is Miss Jiang looking for someone?" Shen Ming asked.
The situation was still uncertain, and Jiang Xingyao shook her head: "No, why would Mr. Shen be here?"
"I was having dinner with friends when, by sheer coincidence, I ran into Ms. Jiang again," Shen Ming recounted.
At this time, Jiang Xingyao shouldn't have asked, but considering Jin Yanzhou's character, she still asked, "Friend? Is it Sister Shen Ying?"
Shen Mingsu chuckled: "Why would Miss Jiang think that way? Is there something you need to talk to your cousin about? She should be at the company preparing for next month's performance."
At the company…
Then what she saw just now wasn't Shen Ying.
Jiang Xingyao only came to ask because she felt that the Shen siblings had treated her fairly well. Since it wasn't true, she didn't worry about it anymore.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Just as Jiang Xingyao was thinking of how to smooth things over, Shen Mingsu asked again, "Miss Jiang, are you interested in my friend? Why don't we come in and sit down together?"
"No need, I have an appointment with a friend downstairs, so I won't bother Mr. Chen any longer," Jiang Xingyao said.
Shen Mingsu didn't press the matter further and turned to enter the private room.
When Jiang Xingyao came downstairs, the private investigator had already arrived.
He directly gave Jiang Xingyao a stack of photos, and the main person in the photos was naturally Jiang Yuncheng.
Aside from attending drinking parties, Jiang Yuncheng spends most of his time going between the company and his home, a routine that seems incredibly regular. He also never goes to entertainment venues, making him a model family man.
The private investigator was also somewhat troubled: "Miss Jiang, as you said, I've been watching him for several days now, and he's never been to any sanatorium. What do you think..."
He was introduced by Ji Yunyin, and he was quite familiar with Ji Yunyin.
Jiang Xingyao is also Ji Yunyin's friend.
He naturally became even more dedicated to his work.
But now Jiang Yuncheng clearly showed no abnormality, which made him feel uneasy about taking the money too easily.
Jiang Xingyao took out a stack of cash that she had prepared beforehand from her bag and pushed it over: "Could you please continue to keep an eye on him for me?"
Jiang Xingyao had actually guessed this result.
Now that Jiang Yuncheng has acquired the Qu family's assets, he no longer needs to appease his mother.
During the last video call with my mother, she mentioned that Jiang Yuncheng rarely visits her.
It seems that in order to find her mother's whereabouts, she needs to find a way to provoke Jiang Yuncheng.
Jiang Xingyao thought for a moment, then took out another sum of money: "Could you please help me check the current situation of the Jiang family?"
She wanted to see just how badly Jiang Yuncheng had treated the Jiang family.
After dismissing the private investigator, Jiang Xingyao received a call from Jin Qingyu.
Ask her where she is, and say you'll come pick her up.
That tone was hardly pleasant.
Jiang Xingyao knew without even thinking that it was her younger sister who had started the trouble.
She hung up the phone immediately, bought some daily necessities, and had them delivered to her newly purchased apartment. She didn't return to Xiyuan until it was time for dinner.
The room smelled strongly of disinfectant.
Lin's mother stood at the door, looking like she was eagerly waiting.
As soon as Lin Ma saw Jiang Xingyao, she came to greet her.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
Lin Ma said, "Madam, you're finally back! Miss Jiang fell down the stairs while mopping the floor today and broke her leg. Master rushed back as soon as he received the call, and Mr. He is here now, waiting for you in the guest room."
Jiang Xingyao had guessed that Jiang Cancan would cause trouble, but she hadn't expected this woman to be so bold and ruthless to herself, falling down the stairs...
It's really hard to believe she could be so heartless.
Before Jiang Xingyao could reply, someone strode out of the guest room, pointed at her, and said, "How could you be so vicious? Jiang Cancan is already so pitiful. She just came here to avoid the storm. Why do you make her do the work of a servant?"
Jiang Xingyao glanced at him indifferently. He was He Qifeng, the second young master of the He family, another good brother of Jin Qingyu, and also one of those who flattered Jiang Cancan.
“I am still the mistress of this house,” Jiang Xingyao said. “What kind of person I am has already been widely known among you. Since Young Master He cares so much about Jiang Cancan, he should have brought her to your place in the first place instead of letting her live in front of me.”
Jiang Xingyao wasn't afraid of him at all.
She still remembers when she first married Jin Qingyu, she wanted to be a good Mrs. Jin and tried to please Jin Qingyu's friends in every way, but they never gave her a kind look and blamed her for interfering and ruining the relationship between Jiang Cancan and Jin Qingyu.
In fact, it was Jin Qingyu who first agreed to the marriage contract.
"How could you be so vicious? Jiang Cancan is your sister. She hurt her leg. Don't you feel any guilt at all?" He Qifeng questioned again. Jiang Xingyao noticed that the veins on the man's wrist were quite prominent. He seemed to be really angry.
Jiang Xingyao said, "What do you think I should feel guilty about, Young Master He? I wasn't home today. She didn't clean properly and fell down the stairs. What does that have to do with me?"
Does Young Master He mean that I, his lawfully wedded wife, should do the work for his mistress who has moved in?
“You…” He Qifeng was a little speechless.
Actually, among them, he had the least contact with Jiang Xingyao.
In his memory, Jiang Xingyao always held her neck high, looking down on everyone, like a noble swan.
She was always aloof and taciturn.
He truly hadn't expected Jiang Xingyao to be so eloquent.
Jiang Xingyao ignored He Qifeng's thoughts and was about to go upstairs when He Qifeng said, "Jiang Xingyao, don't be so harsh. What mistress? If it weren't for you..."
"Enough." It wasn't Jiang Xingyao who interrupted him, but Jin Qingyu, who had just come out of the guest room. He also looked at Jiang Xingyao, "Mrs. Jin, what exactly happened today?"
"Didn't your little lover tell you?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
Jin Qingyu said, "I want to hear what you have to say."
Jiang Xingyao felt that what happened today was really strange.
Previously, Jin Qingyu would never listen to her explanations; he only cared about Jiang Cancan's one-sided story.
“I have nothing to say, it’s just what she said,” Jiang Xingyao said.
In the past, when she encountered similar situations, she would always nervously explain, worried that Jin Qingyu would misunderstand her and affect her image in his heart.
But now she doesn't care anymore.
All she wanted was a divorce, to escape the cage of the Jin family.
"Jiang Xingyao!" Jin Qingyu called her somewhat irritably, but Jiang Xingyao pretended not to hear and went straight back to her bedroom.
He Qifeng said, "Stop right there. You yourself admitted that Jiang Cancan was injured because of you, so you have to apologize to her."
Jiang Xingyao did not stop walking.
He Qifeng was a little exasperated and wanted to catch up.
Jin Qingyu stretched out a hand and blocked him.
He Qifeng was a little taken aback: "She hurt Jiang Cancan so badly, are you going to protect her, Qingyu?"
Jin Qingyu said, "She is Mrs. Jin, and you have no right to interfere in her affairs."
He Qifeng frowned, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
Jin Qingyu said, "You go and keep Secretary Jiang company first, I'll talk to her."
Jin Qingyu followed Jiang Xingyao upstairs.
He reached out and blocked the door that Jiang Xingyao was about to close, then squeezed in.
Jiang Xingyao looked at him coldly.
It was Jin Qingyu who spoke first: "I already spoke with Secretary Jiang this morning and arranged another place for her."
But now her leg is broken…”
"What, Mr. Jin, are you saying that all of this is my fault, and you want me to serve your little lover?" Jiang Xingyao said sarcastically.
Jin Qingyu said, "That's not what I meant. I just meant that she'll probably have to stay at Xiyuan for a few more days."
Jiang Xingyao's face was full of sneers.
She wasn't home today. Jiang Cancan so cruelly fell down the stairs not to frame her, but to disgust her.
“You can handle your own affairs; it has nothing to do with me,” Jiang Xingyao said.
She went to check today, and her new house is all ready; she plans to move out.
"You're Mrs. Jin, how could you..."
Jiang Xingyao's overly indifferent attitude today made Jin Qingyu feel a little irritated. He felt that Jiang Xingyao's attitude was too indifferent, which made him feel uneasy.
He wanted to know why Jiang Xingyao had said such things.
But before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xingyao interrupted him: "It won't be like that for long."
This topic again.
These past few days have been like a curse, forever standing between him and Jiang Xingyao.
Jin Qingyu rubbed his temples in frustration: "I've already said, I won't sign it. This position of Mrs. Jin will always be yours."
Jiang Xingyao gave a mocking smile, not believing it at all.
Jiang Cancan has already moved into Xiyuan.
She's so ruthless to herself just to stay; she'll probably do something else soon.
She wanted to see how long Jin Qingyu's repeated vows not to divorce could be sustained under the persistent pleading of his mistress.
Jin Qingyu stared into Jiang Xingyao's dark eyes, feeling that there were emotions in them that he couldn't understand.
Her eyes were so cold, as if they had no warmth at all.
She was cold before, but never like this, so indifferent that it made people feel uneasy for no reason.
Jin Qingyu stepped forward and reached out towards Jiang Xingyao's face, suddenly wanting to touch her skin to see if it was as cold as her eyes.
Jiang Xingyao tilted her head and dodged it.
Jin Qingyu's hand froze in mid-air.
He looked at Jiang Xingyao again and sighed, "Calm down first. I'll go check on Jiang Cancan, and we'll talk properly later."
I believe you're not that heartless. Today's incident was just an accident, right, Yao Yao?
Jiang Xingyao spoke up, directly shattering his hopes: "No, I already warned President Jin yesterday."
"If Mr. Jin insists on her moving in, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jin Qingyu looked at Jiang Xingyao, and the woman made no attempt to hide her viciousness and despicable nature in front of him.
Or perhaps she was saying it on purpose all along.
Jin Qingyu felt that something was really different between him and Jiang Xingyao.
Even if Jiang Xingyao had previously disdained to explain, she would never have admitted to such a thing.
Now…
He couldn't figure out whether Jiang Xingyao really thought that way, or whether she simply didn't care about his opinion.
Jin Qingyu's heart suddenly felt a little flustered. He said, "Yaoyao, wait for me to come back, and we'll have a good talk."
