Chapter 287 Giving Jiang Xingyao Confidence
Just an hour ago, Jiang Xingyao's scandalous rumors were clarified.
Her phone is about to be ringing off the hook. Brands that had been hesitant are now vying to have her compose music for commercial performances.
Xu Feifei sent over a package of various cooperation proposals, leaving Jiang Xingyao overwhelmed with choices.
As the situation at Jiang Xingyao's place improved significantly, Jiang Cancan nearly fainted again as soon as she opened her eyes at the hospital.
The fact that her accomplice helped Jiang Xingyao clear her name became common knowledge, and even the nurses who came in to change her dressings were talking about it.
Especially since Jiang Cancan's identity has been exposed, she can feel the contemptuous looks from others all the time.
This made her feel like she had returned to that most unbearable time in the United States, when the people around her never gave her a second glance.
They only used her as a tool for sexual gratification, and once they were done with her, they tossed her aside like a tattered rag.
These aren't the scariest things; the scariest thing is...
"Can Can, don't worry, the doctor has already checked everything, our child is fine."
Yes, what scares Jiang Cancan the most is that the child is alright.
She had clearly taken sterilization medication long ago, and she didn't know how she got pregnant, when she conceived, or whether the child was He Qifeng's.
All she knew was that the child's existence was a threat to her.
Just the day before He Qifeng rescued her, she was still constantly entertaining clients.
The child's origins are probably not so clean.
Even if He Qifeng loves her very much, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it if he found out that she was pregnant with someone else's child.
She had planned it all along: first, use the child as a stepping stone to successfully marry into the He family, and then find an opportunity to quietly get rid of the child.
Who knew that one unexpected thing after another would happen? First, that old man, Grandpa He, was so ungrateful that he passed away. Even if she was accepted by the He family, she would have to consider the old man's mourning period and would not be able to marry into the He family in the short term.
But the baby in her belly couldn't wait any longer.
So, Jiang Cancan took advantage of a private meeting with Jiang Xingyao to stage this whole drama, hoping to frame Jiang Xingyao for the whole thing. But to her surprise, the child was still unharmed.
As happy as He Qifeng is right now, Jiang Cancan is just as devastated.
If this doesn't work, He Qifeng will probably keep a closer eye on her in the future.
This made it even more difficult for her to get rid of the child.
"Can Can, why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling unwell?" He Qifeng asked again.
Jiang Cancan quickly adjusted her mindset and leaned against He Qifeng's chest: "Brother Qifeng, I'm just a little scared."
I just can't understand how my sister could be so heartless, how could she...
Although we were lucky enough to save our child this time, I'm really scared. What if there's a next time, and the time after that?
I've clearly distanced myself from Brother Qingyu, and we've started our own lives, so why won't she let us go?
"What if she does it again next time? I'm scared..."
The veins on He Qifeng's temples were clearly visible. He said, "Cancan, don't worry, I will definitely protect you. No matter who it is, I will never let them bully you again."
"But my sister..."
"Don't worry, I will make her pay for what she did today."
"And those things online... If your family saw those, they would definitely start to dislike me again."
But I didn't want it to be like that either. In that situation, if I hadn't done that, I would never have been able to come back alive to see you. I…”
"I know, it's not your fault. Don't worry, no matter what others say, I will never give up on you."
If they can't accept you, so what…”
Before He Qifeng could finish speaking, Jiang Cancan covered his mouth: "Brother Qifeng, don't say that. They are all your family. I don't want you to leave your home because of me."
If you insist on doing this, then I'll have no choice but to leave you.
He Qifeng said, "Cancan, don't say that. I won't do that again. I will find a way to make them accept you. I believe they will know one day that you are a good girl."
Jiang Cancan nodded, seemingly obediently burying her face in He Qifeng's arms, but her eyes always held a hint of calculation.
Regardless, she has to keep He Qifeng calm now.
She didn't want to follow He Qifeng without a name or status. If she was going to do it, she had to be the young mistress of the He family. She couldn't let He Qifeng lose the He family's status because of her.
He Qifeng looked at Jiang Cancan's head with pity, but deep in his eyes, a calculating glint also flashed. Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu had hurt Jiang Cancan so badly, and even if Cancan was alright now, he would not let those two off the hook.
The two, each harboring their own secrets, embraced each other when the ward door was flung open. He Mingzhou, furious, shouted, "He Qifeng, do you have any humanity left?"
Grandpa's body is still warm, and you're already so eager to hug this thing?
"Just for something like this, you won't even be willing to see Grandpa off on his final journey?"
He Qifeng said, "Brother, watch your words. Cancan is the granddaughter-in-law that Grandpa himself recognized, which means she is your sister-in-law. Be more polite to her."
"Grandpa admitted it himself. Who told you? Her?" He Mingzhou smiled sarcastically. "But it doesn't matter anymore. He Qifeng, I'm here to tell you that you complained about the He family's many rules and wanted to leave the He family. Now you've got your wish. From now on, you're expelled from the He family."
"Why should I? You can just remove someone from the list like that?" He Qifeng sneered, looking at He Mingzhou with a hint of disdain. "Big brother, you always pretend to be so righteous, but in the end, aren't you just after the family's wealth?"
"Now that Grandpa's dead, you can't hide your true colors anymore, and you're so eager to kick me out of the He family?"
He Mingzhou said, "Think what you want. I'm here to inform you that this is a unanimous decision by the board of directors. They don't want the He family to have an empty-headed heir like you. From now on, you are no longer a member of the He family."
Anyway, you've wanted to sever ties with your whole family over something like this for a long time, and now you've got what you wanted, haven't you?"
Upon hearing the board meeting, He Qifeng knew that He Mingzhou's words were not a joke.
A fleeting look of panic crossed his face.
Jiang Cancan was struck dumb at this moment.
Just moments ago, she had persuaded He Qifeng to promise that he would never leave the He family. Now, it seems like only yesterday that He Qifeng was expelled from the He family. Jiang Cancan felt that all of this was too coincidental, as if someone was deliberately targeting her.
He Mingzhou added, "After all, you have the blood of the He family flowing in your veins. Even if you are expelled from the family, you will still receive your share of what is due. Take some time to go home and move your things out."
He didn't stay long and left the hospital quickly.
Even after she had been gone for quite a while, He Qifeng still seemed not to have come to his senses.
Jiang Cancan stammered, "Brother Qifeng, how could this happen? Why don't you go ask Uncle He?"
He Qifeng also realized what was happening: "I'll go right now, Can Can, don't worry. No matter what, I definitely won't abandon you."
Meanwhile, in a Western restaurant near the hospital, He Mingzhou and Jin Qingyu were sitting together.
He Mingzhou's face still seemed somewhat heavy. Jin Qingyu said, "Brother He, you have seen He Qifeng's situation. It's a small matter that he is entangled with that woman, but it's a big matter that he has ruined the reputation of the He family."
Now that things have escalated to this point, it's time to cut the losses.
"To avoid causing irreparable damage to the He family later, which would likely leave no way to comfort Old Master He's spirit in heaven."
He Mingzhou said, "That's true, but he's still my younger brother after all. He... sigh, how did things come to this between us brothers?"
Jin Qingyu said, "I understand Brother He's concerns. He Qifeng probably just can't figure it out yet. Let's sever ties with him for now, and you can acknowledge him back when he comes to his senses later."
Most importantly, make him see that woman's true colors.
He Mingzhou hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "That's all we can do now, Mr. Jin. I want to thank you in advance for going to so much trouble for my brother's matter."
Jin Qingyu laughed and said, "Not at all. I used to be friends with He Er. It's hard to believe that things have escalated to this point. I feel terrible about it. I just hope he can realize all of this soon."
It was his idea to sever ties between the He family and He Qifeng.
Since Jiang Cancan is always playing tricks behind the scenes, and He Qifeng insists on being Jiang Cancan's backer, in order to solve the problem once and for all, he has no choice but to cut off He Qifeng's claws and teeth first.
If He Qifeng can take this opportunity to see Jiang Cancan's true colors, then everyone will be happy.
But if He Qifeng still wants to help Jiang Cancan and Jiang Xingyao against each other, Jiang Xingyao alone can easily deal with He Qifeng who has lost the backing of the He family. That's the confidence he gives Jiang Xingyao.
Jin Qingyu and He Mingzhou had never met privately before, but today, upon meeting, they felt as if they had known each other for a long time. They chatted happily, and neither of them noticed that He Qifeng was standing outside the glass window watching for a long time.
Those eyes always gleamed with a gloomy light.
His hatred for Jin Qingyu had reached its peak at this moment.
It was bad enough that he abandoned Jiang Cancan and helped Jiang Xingyao target her, but now he even joined forces with his older brother to kick him out of the house. He Qifeng is now almost desperate to trample Jin Qingyu underfoot.
Since Jin Qingyu instigated this, there's no need to ask anymore.
He Qifeng did not return to the He family home, but instead made a phone call directly.
