Chapter 281 It was Jiang Xingyao who killed Grandpa
Seeing He Qifeng's posture, He Mingzhou frowned slightly.
He quickly looked away in disgust, not wanting to see He Qifeng showing concern for Jiang Cancan at all.
"What exactly happened? Grandpa was perfectly fine, why did he faint again?" He Mingzhou asked.
Jiang Cancan immediately looked at Jiang Xingyao with red eyes, looking extremely aggrieved and wanting to speak but not daring to. Jiang Xingyao said coldly, "You'll have to ask her. When I came here, I saw her alone in Grandpa He's ward."
Jiang Cancan quickly said, "Sister, don't make false accusations. You know my relationship with Brother Qifeng. I'll be a member of the He family from now on. How could I possibly harm Grandpa?"
You know perfectly well how Grandpa got into this mess.
Jiang Cancan's act of turning the tables on Jiang Xingyao made her furious, while He Mingzhou remained calm. He's mother urged, "What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly."
Even though Jiang Xingyao already knew what kind of person He's mother was, and knew that she had no backbone and was prone to following the crowd, she still felt a chill in her heart when she saw that the other party was still willing to believe Jiang Cancan's words under such circumstances.
"Aunt He, it's my sister..."
"Shut up, get out of here. You have no right to speak here," He Mingzhou roared, interrupting Jiang Cancan.
Jiang Cancan shrank back again, hiding behind He Qifeng in a panic.
He Qifeng immediately instinctively shielded her behind him and said to He Mingzhou, "Big brother, why are you being so fierce to Cancan?"
Grandpa had an accident, and she's very upset. The most important thing now is to find out the truth. Why can't you just let her finish speaking?
He Mingzhou said, "I don't think the words of a person who lies all the time are of any reference value."
If you still want to protect her, then get out with her.
He Qifeng was forced to swallow his anger, but he was still unconvinced: "Big brother, you don't understand Cancan at all. She is not what you imagine. I believe she would never lie about this."
He Mingzhou roared again, "Don't make me say it a third time, get out of here now."
He Qifeng wanted to speak up for Jiang Cancan again, but Jiang Cancan wisely said, "Let's forget it, Brother Qifeng. My older brother doesn't like me. How about we..."
Before he could finish speaking, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor who came out looked rather somber.
Mother He quickly asked, "How is he, doctor? My dad..."
The doctor shook his head: "I'm sorry, we did our best."
The person died immediately after being taken to the operating room. The elderly person was already quite old, and their organs were aging; we tried everything, but we couldn't save them.
Upon hearing this result, Mother He's legs went weak, and she staggered several steps before leaning against the wall to avoid falling.
He Mingzhou and He Qifeng were also struck dumb.
Even Jiang Cancan's pupils seemed to contract sharply twice, but she quickly rolled her eyes, and the matter fell on Jiang Xingyao again, as if she was plotting something.
Mother He was still muttering to herself, "How could this happen? Dad was perfectly fine just now, how could he be gone?"
He Mingzhou then asked, "Miss Jiang, what exactly happened just now?"
He Qifeng glanced at Jiang Xingyao again and said, "Can Can, you tell us."
He Mingzhou said, "Why haven't you left yet? What's there to say about her? I think Grandpa was angered to death by her. She knew Grandpa hated her, but she still tried to get close to him. He Qifeng, you'd better pray in your heart that Grandpa's death has nothing to do with her."
Otherwise, no matter how much you defend her, I won't let her off the hook.
Jiang Cancan said, "Let it go, Brother Qifeng. Nobody wants to see something like this happen. Big Brother is in a bad mood right now, so let's back down for now."
"We'll come see Grandpa again once my older brother has calmed down."
He Qifeng nodded, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say to He Mingzhou, "See? Cancan is still the most understanding. You'll regret it sooner or later for wronging her like this."
He Mingzhou didn't want to pay any attention to He Qifeng. After watching the two leave, he asked Jiang Xingyao, "Miss Jiang, could you please tell me what exactly happened today?"
Jiang Xingyao said, "I don't know the specifics. When I arrived, there were only Grandpa He and Jiang Cancan in the ward. Grandpa He was already delirious at that time. I called the doctor immediately, but it was too late. I'm sorry. If I had arrived a little earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way."
Jiang Xingyao was just being polite; no one can blame her for what happened.
He's mother leaned against the wall and started crying again: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't gone out, this wouldn't have happened."
He Mingzhou then said to his mother, "Didn't I tell you to stay here and watch over Grandpa? Why did you go out?"
Mother He covered her face: "A doctor just asked me to talk about Dad's condition. I was afraid of delaying Dad's treatment, so I... I should have asked him to talk about it in the ward."
Even if no one says it outright, all the signs indicate that this matter is related to Jiang Cancan.
After taking Jiang Cancan out, He Qifeng did not leave immediately.
He Qifeng was equally distraught upon hearing the tragic news of Old Master He's passing.
Jiang Cancan reached out and tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Qifeng, you have to believe me, I really didn't do this, Grandpa He..."
"Can Can, tell me, what happened to Grandpa?" He Qifeng asked.
Jiang Cancan clutched her stomach, her eyes red and swollen, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't. He Qifeng was really anxious, so he urged her again, "Cancan, just tell me what's wrong. You know I'll always be on your side."
Jiang Cancan then said, "Brother Qifeng, I'm pregnant, I..."
"What did you say?" He Qifeng interrupted her in shock.
Jiang Cancan repeated, "Brother Qifeng, I'm pregnant with your child. I was thinking that since you and Grandpa He had a lot of disagreements because of me, I could use this child to help ease the tension between you and Grandpa He. That's why I came uninvited."
Originally... Grandpa He was very happy to hear the news, but it was my sister who insisted on bringing up what I had done before, and that's why Grandpa He...
"Brother Qifeng, believe me, Grandpa He really agrees. You can marry me."
Even after Jiang Cancan finished speaking, He Qifeng was still unable to come back to his senses. To this day, all he could think about was that Jiang Cancan was pregnant with his child.
Jiang Cancan waited a while before wiping away her tears again, looking aggrieved: "Brother Qifeng, Grandpa He was so close to seeing us get married. If it weren't for my sister..."
"Never mind, it was my fault. If I had known I would get pregnant with your child, I shouldn't have targeted my sister."
Warm tears fell onto the back of He Qifeng's hand, bringing him back to his senses. He Qifeng quickly bent down and held Jiang Cancan's shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this be your fault?"
They're the ones who caused you so much suffering, so it's understandable that you feel a little wronged.
"And Can Can, don't be afraid. I'll take you to find your older brother right now, and we'll clear things up. We absolutely can't let you suffer this injustice."
“But…” Jiang Cancan lifted her eyelids, looking worried. He Qifeng said again, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. I will definitely protect you.”
The two returned to the corridor. Old Master He's body had already been brought out, and Mother He was still busy making a phone call to Father He. Jiang Xingyao then told Qu Xinting about the changes that had taken place.
Next came the He family's internal affairs, and as an outsider, it wasn't appropriate for her to stay long. Jiang Xingyao was about to leave when she was stopped by He Qifeng and Jiang Cancan, who had returned.
He Qifeng said, "Where are you going? Grandpa's body is still warm. Are you trying to flee to escape punishment, you culprit?"
Upon hearing He Qifeng's words, He Mingzhou was the first to react, shoving He Qifeng aside: "What are you doing here again? You'd better behave yourself in front of Grandpa."
He Qifeng said, "I'm doing this for Grandpa's own good. I just don't want the murderer who killed Grandpa to get away with it."
He looked at Jiang Xingyao, his eyes still filled with the same disgust as always, but now with a hint of ferocity, as if he wanted to tear Jiang Xingyao to pieces.
Before He Mingzhou could stop him, He Qifeng said again, "Miss Jiang, may I ask what business the He family has with you? Grandpa has already agreed to let Cancan marry me, why are you interfering?"
"If it weren't for you, Grandpa wouldn't have suffered such a heart attack."
He was furious and ignored the "No Loudness" signs in the hospital corridor, shouting at Jiang Xingyao.
"That's what she told you?"
Jiang Xingyao's voice and He Mingzhou's slap landed almost simultaneously. He Qifeng's face was turned to one side from the blow, and he said, "Big brother, what are you doing?"
He Mingzhou was equally angry, his chest heaving: "What am I going to do? I'm just trying to bring you to your senses."
How could Grandpa possibly let someone like this into the He family?
Rather than blaming Miss Jiang, the person next to you is more like the culprit who killed Grandpa!
He Qifeng said, "You're right. Cancan has a bad background and has gone through so many hardships, so Grandpa really doesn't think much of her."
But things are different now. She's carrying the He family's bloodline. How could Grandpa possibly be so heartless as to turn her away?
"If it weren't for her stirring up trouble, my wedding date with Can Can would probably already be set, and things wouldn't have come to this."
Looking at his self-righteous manner, with the veins on his arms standing out prominently, He Mingzhou wished he could tear his unreasonable younger brother to pieces.
He Qifeng then looked at his mother and pressed her for an answer: "Mom, you be the judge. Grandpa would never allow the He family bloodline to be scattered outside, so Cancan didn't lie about this."
The person who killed Grandpa was Jiang Xingyao.
