Chapter 284 Sister, why are you doing this to me?
Jiang Xingyao had always known what Old Master Jin was thinking.
Even though he supported her divorce from Jin Qingyu at the time, he still did not give up on the idea of her becoming his granddaughter-in-law.
Jin Yuanqiu was one of the closest people to Old Master Jin. Jiang Xingyao felt that Jin Yuanqiu's talk of learning the piano was just a pretext, and he was probably on Old Master Jin's orders to get close to her.
However, Jiang Xingyao did not expose all of this. She believed that even if Jin Yuanqiu was by her side, it would not shake her own thoughts.
Jin Yuanqiu followed Jiang Xingyao and the other person back to Xiyuan.
The piano that Jin Qingyu had forcibly bought was still on display in Xiyuan.
Jin Yuanqiu's learning to play the zither was indeed just a pretense.
After she arrived, she mostly just listened quietly to Jiang Xingyao talk, and rarely did anything herself.
Jiang Xingyao overheard her talking to Grandpa Jin on the phone a few times.
It seemed like the person on the other end was asking if there was anyone else with her.
Jiang Xingyao finally understood Grandpa Jin's intention.
It was probably because of Qin Jiangnan's protective attitude towards him in the hospital that Grandpa Jin felt a sense of crisis, which is why he asked Jin Yuanqiu to come and help Jin Qingyu find out the situation.
Jin Yuanqiu hung up the phone and saw Jiang Xingyao beside her. A hint of embarrassment quickly appeared on her face. She said, "Sister Yaoyao, don't misunderstand. Grandpa was just concerned about you, that's why he asked a few more questions."
Jiang Xingyao said, "You don't need to be so nervous. I don't really care."
Jin Yuanqiu nodded, then asked bluntly, "Then, Sister Yaoyao, is there really no possibility between you and my second brother? My second brother..."
He made a lot of mistakes before, but I can feel that he seems to really care about you now.
and…"
Jiang Xingyao said, "Yuanqiu, I don't want to talk about these things right now."
"I'm sorry, Sister Yao Yao, I talked too much." Jin Yuanqiu apologized immediately, and Jiang Xingyao didn't mean to blame her.
She always felt that in the Jin family, Jin Yuanqiu's relationship with Jin Qingyu seemed much closer than her relationship with Jin Yanzhou.
She didn't know why there was such a difference. Logically speaking, Jin Qingyu returned to the Jin family later, while Jin Yuanqiu grew up with Jin Yanzhou. She should have been closer to Jin Yanzhou.
Besides reporting to Grandpa Jin, Jin Yuanqiu also liked to stick close to Qu Xinting and ask her about the older generation of the Jin family.
Especially about her father.
Jin Yuanqiu explained that she had always been curious about her father's character, but because his death was a scar in her second aunt's heart, no one in the Jin family dared to mention it, so she could only ask others.
Jin Yuanqiu's explanation was reasonable, so Qu Xinting wasn't on guard. However, she hadn't had much contact with the Jin family when she was younger, so she only told Jin Yuanqiu what she knew.
Time flew by, and it was time for Grandpa He's funeral.
Just as Qu Xinting had said, Jiang Cancan was indeed released. At such a solemn occasion as the funeral, she was dressed in a black dress and stood right next to He Qifeng.
Father He also returned and worked with He Mingzhou to handle the funeral arrangements. He clearly did not want Jiang Cancan to stay here, but now that the guests had arrived and she had been brought in directly by He Qifeng, kicking her out now would inevitably cause other troubles.
The He family had no choice but to accept her existence.
Jiang Cancan seemed frightened today, hiding weakly behind He Qifeng the whole time. He Qifeng didn't help with the funeral arrangements, but stayed by Jiang Cancan's side the whole time.
When Jiang Xingyao arrived, Jiang Cancan timidly hid behind He Qifeng, while He Qifeng glared fiercely at Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao felt a little confused. It seemed that in He Qifeng's eyes, her grandfather's life was indeed not as important as Jiang Cancan's frown.
Jiang Xingyao didn't want to have any conflict with He Qifeng at Old Master He's funeral. She pretended not to see He Qifeng's gaze and walked straight past him.
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly brushed past Jiang Xingyao from behind and crashed straight into He Qifeng, accompanied by Qin Jiangnan's cursing voice: "Are you blind? Standing here dreaming?"
He Qifeng stumbled from the impact and stepped directly on Jiang Cancan's foot, causing her to scream in pain. He quickly turned to comfort her, but in that brief moment, Qin Jiangnan had already disappeared. He Qifeng couldn't help but curse.
Jiang Xingyao and Qu Xinting followed closely behind Qin Jiangnan into the courtyard.
All I could see was a vast expanse of white.
Grandpa He's photo was hung in the very center of the mourning hall.
Just a few days ago, she was a vibrant life, and now all that's left is a photograph.
Everyone in the He family, except He Qifeng, seemed to carry a distinct sorrow on their faces in addition to grief.
Even when he came to offer incense to the old man, He Qifeng seemed to have been called over by the butler later. He helped Jiang Cancan along, being very careful, afraid that Jiang Cancan might bump into something. He even handed over the incense offering to Jiang Cancan first.
It was as if they were deliberately giving Jiang Cancan face on such an important occasion, telling everyone here that Jiang Cancan would be the young mistress of the He family from now on.
Mr. He kept a cold face, forcibly suppressing his anger and maintaining a calm facade.
Jiang Cancan's past is no secret in this circle. Even if the news is full of rumors about Jiang Xingyao, anyone with a little bit of connections knows who the real protagonist of those news stories is.
Some of the people who had previously been on good terms with Old Master He, upon seeing He Qifeng doting on Jiang Cancan, whispered their sympathies for the misfortune of the He family. Many others simply couldn't bear to watch the scene and made up an excuse to go outside for some fresh air.
Many people came to pay their respects to Mr. He, but in the end, only a few remained in the mourning hall.
Jiang Xingyao couldn't stand the atmosphere either. She said goodbye to Qu Xinting and then left.
After standing outside the villa for a while, Jiang Xingyao heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Jiang Cancan.
She came out on her own, and now, having shed her timidity in front of He Qifeng, she greeted Jiang Xingyao with a smile: "Sister, it's been a long time! Did you like the gift I gave you recently?"
Jiang Xingyao shifted her feet, first creating some distance between herself and Jiang Cancan. She held her phone in her hand and quietly pressed the record button.
There had never been a time when she and Jiang Cancan could have a peaceful conversation. Now that the other woman had come to her on her own initiative, it was hard for Jiang Xingyao not to suspect her intentions.
Jiang Cancan then said, "Sister, Jiang Xingyao, we haven't seen each other for so long, aren't you sure you don't want to say hello to your little sister?"
"I have nothing to say to you."
Jiang Xingyao was unwilling to be alone with Jiang Cancan.
She walked past Jiang Cancan, wanting to go back, but Jiang Cancan quickly caught up with her again, lifting her skirt. She said, "Jiang Xingyao, why are you leaving? Are you afraid of me?"
Are you worried that I'll tell Uncle He about how you killed Grandpa He?
I…
ah! ! "
The incessant chatter suddenly stopped, followed by a scream.
When Jiang Xingyao turned around, she saw that Jiang Cancan had already fallen to the ground.
She clutched her stomach, looking at Jiang Xingyao with a terrified expression. There seemed to be blood flowing between her legs.
Jiang Xingyao's gaze met Jiang Cancan's malicious eyes, followed by the woman's hysterical scream: "Sister! How could you be so heartless? I just wanted to say hello to you, why did you push me?"
Even if you blamed me for competing with you for Qingyu before, I've given up on that idea now. My heart is only for Qifeng.
Why won't you let me go? And why are you going to harm my child with Qifeng?
She spoke haltingly, occasionally letting out a groan.
The commotion had already attracted the attention of those around them.
A crowd gathered around, pointing and whispering about the two of them.
He Qifeng hurriedly pushed through the crowd. As soon as he saw Jiang Cancan's appearance, his eyes reddened: "Cancan, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Cancan stopped questioning Jiang Xingyao. She clutched her stomach and said, "It hurts, Brother Qifeng, it hurts so much. Our baby, please, please take me to the hospital."
He Qifeng frantically dialed an ambulance, while Jiang Cancan's gaze strangely fell on Jiang Xingyao again. In front of He Qifeng, she said tremblingly, "Sister, do you hate me that much? I was just saying hello to you, and you recorded me, but you also pushed me down. You know I'm pregnant."
He Qifeng also understood the key point in Jiang Cancan's words.
He reached out and snatched Jiang Xingyao's phone.
Even though Jiang Xingyao reacted quickly this time, her strength was still no match for He Qifeng's, and she could only watch helplessly as He Qifeng carried Jiang Cancan away.
She originally intended to use that recording to expose Jiang Cancan, but Jiang Cancan was deliberately guarding against her, and every word she said had a clear guiding meaning.
Jiang Xingyao knew very well that if that recording fell into He Qifeng's hands, it would become evidence for He Qifeng to accuse her of intentionally causing injury.
Jiang Cancan and He Qifeng had already disappeared from sight, leaving only a large patch of crimson in front of Jiang Xingyao's eyes.
She never imagined that Jiang Cancan would be so ruthless, willing to abandon her own child just to frame her.
When Qin Jiangnan arrived, he saw that Jiang Xingyao looked a little lost. He asked someone about what had happened and then hurriedly chased after He Qifeng in the direction he had left.
Jiang Xingyao also realized what was happening. She forced herself to calm down and went after Qin Jiangnan.
She could roughly guess that Qin Jiangnan left in such a hurry because he went to find He Qifeng to snatch her phone.
Jiang Cancan was quite cunning and had some backup plan. She couldn't let Qin Jiangnan get into trouble because of her.
