Chapter 29 You said Madam is leaving?
When Lin Ma came upstairs, she saw Jiang Xingyao packing her things. She was a little worried: "Madam, what are you doing...?"
Actually, there was no need to ask what happened next; the truth was already obvious. She cut off the conversation herself and took the initiative to help Jiang Xingyao tidy up.
Judging from Miss Jiang's demeanor in that guest room, she won't be leaving anytime soon. It would be good for Madam to go out for a walk to clear her head.
Most of the clothes in the walk-in closet were bought by Jin Qingyu, which Jiang Xingyao didn't like. She only took a few of her own clothes, and after packing everything, she only managed to fit them into one suitcase.
Looking at Jiang Xingyao's thin figure, Lin Ma felt a pang of heartache. Suddenly, she remembered something, ran downstairs, filled two bottles with dried apricots, and whispered, "Madam, the master and the others are in the guest room. Please go quickly."
Jiang Xingyao thanked Lin Ma and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine coming from the yard.
It's the old house's car.
As the car door opened, Jiang Xingyao's gaze met that of the old man sitting in the back seat.
Her hand holding the suitcase stiffened slightly, and even her eyebrows and eyes drooped. She couldn't leave today.
"Yaoyao, where are you going?" The old man got out of the car with the help of the driver, and his sharp eyes swept over Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao didn't respond to his question, but asked with some surprise, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
The old man noticed her avoidance but didn't say anything. He beckoned, and Jiang Xingyao handed the suitcase to Lin Ma and came over to help him.
Once inside the house, the old man said, "You child, you suffered such a great injustice without telling your grandfather. I have no choice but to stand up for you myself."
Tell me, where is he?
It's crystal clear who he's referring to.
Jiang Xingyao didn't really want the old man to get involved, but Aunt Lin had already pointed towards the guest room: "Sir and Secretary Jiang are in the guest room, and Mr. He is here too."
"Yaoyao, take Grandpa there." The old man's voice was firm, carrying an unquestionable tone.
Now that he's already here, it's impossible to stop him from interfering.
Jiang Xingyao could only take him to the guest room.
The family doctor must have just finished treating Jiang Cancan's injuries and is packing her things.
He Qifeng sat on the edge of the bed, peeling an apple. His eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he looked very gentle, without any of the aggressiveness he had shown when facing Jiang Xingyao.
Jin Qingyu leaned against the windowsill, a cigarette dangling from his fingers, unlit, seemingly lost in thought. He didn't even notice Jiang Cancan's fixed gaze on him.
The old man slammed his cane on the ground three times, drawing everyone's attention. Jiang Cancan's face showed a hint of panic, and Jin Qingyu said, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
"If I hadn't come, would you have kicked my granddaughter-in-law out of the house for something like this?" the old man asked.
He wouldn't even glance at Jiang Cancan, his gaze fixed coldly on Jin Qingyu.
"Jiang Xingyao, you hurt Jiang Cancan so badly, and you still want to play the victim and accuse her first? Do you have any heart at all?" Before Jin Qingyu could speak, He Qifeng questioned him first.
Jiang Xingyao gave him a look as if he were an idiot, and didn't want to say anything at all.
The old man was furious. He looked at He Qifeng and said, "You're that kid from the He family, aren't you? Old He is getting senile. How could he have raised such a muddle-headed junior like you?"
Before you speak, open your eyes and see where you are. Even Lao He wouldn't dare to insult the mistress of Xiyuan.
Go back and tell your grandfather that I, the old man, want to have tea with him later.
Even within the same circle, there are different levels and grades.
The Jin family has always maintained its leading position among the prominent families in the capital. Although the He family is also gaining momentum, it is still a step behind the Jin family.
Normally, if things are going well on the surface, no one would care about this, but now, Old Master Jin is clearly really angry.
He Qifeng looked embarrassed, but still glared at Jiang Xingyao.
The old man's purpose in coming was not for He Qifeng.
His gaze quickly shifted to Jin Qingyu: "Tell me, Ayu, what exactly happened? Bringing people to Xiyuan, where do you put my granddaughter-in-law?"
"Secretary Jiang has nowhere to go for the time being, and it's because Yao Yao injured her leg that..."
"She has nowhere to go? You brought her back because she has nowhere to go?"
Don't give me these lame excuses. Isn't the He family kid very protective of her? Wouldn't it be better for him to take this woman away than for her to stay with you?
"I don't care what your reasons are, this is a desolate place, where any shady people dare to lay their hands on it. Send them away right now," the old man said.
“Grandpa Jin, you’re going too far this time. It was Jiang Xingyao who injured Jiang Cancan’s leg. Even if she’s leaving, she should at least let her injury heal.” He Qifeng couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up to defend Jiang Cancan once again.
Jiang Cancan also sniffled pitifully, her eyes red, looking timidly at the old man.
But the old man wasn't a hot-blooded young man like He Qifeng. He was unmoved by Jiang Cancan's weakness and coldly glanced at He Qifeng: "Don't put all sorts of accusations on Yaoyao's head. I, this old man, know Yaoyao better than anyone else."
This is Yaoyao's home. You either take her and get out of here right now, or I'll have you both thrown out.
The old man's impatience was already quite evident.
He came here firstly to support Jiang Xingyao, and secondly...
His gaze swept across Jin Qingyu's face, and the old man said again, "Get him out of here and come to my study."
Ignoring Jin Qingyu's reaction, the old man patted Jiang Xingyao's hand again: "Yaoyao, let's ignore these filthy things, Grandpa will take you away."
He paused after taking a few steps and said to Lin Ma, "Hurry up and pack her things, and make sure the master gets rid of her. Don't let our Yao Yao see her and get upset."
No one likes a mistress who comes into their home.
Lin's mother was no exception.
Seeing the old man chasing people away, she deftly packed up the two pieces of clothing that Jiang Cancan had brought and tossed them over.
"Mr. Jin..." Jiang Cancan looked at Jin Qingyu with red eyes, pleading, "My dad is definitely still looking for me. I can't go back now, I..."
She looked down at her legs again, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
He Qifeng first comforted Jiang Cancan for a couple of minutes, then became a little irritated: "That Jiang Xingyao is really too much. It wasn't enough that her father married Cancan off, now she's injured Cancan's leg and even made your old man come to kick her out. She really doesn't want to leave Cancan any way out."
"This vicious woman, Qingyu, you're not really planning to waste your life on her, are you? What about Cancan?"
"No, it wasn't Madam! Madam was about to leave, but the old man stopped her!" Lin Ma shouldn't have interrupted at this time, but she couldn't stand it anymore and directly answered He Qifeng's words.
Jin Qingyu was somewhat absent-minded.
Upon hearing Lin Ma's words, his expression suddenly changed, and he recalled Jiang Xingyao's strange behavior just now.
He asked, "You mean your wife is leaving?"
"Yes, Madam, she..."
"Qingyu, you don't actually believe such a thing, do you?"
She's just playing hard to get. She went to great lengths to get this position as Mrs. Jin; how could she bear to give it up? You can't be fooled by her," He Qifeng said.
"That's enough! Take Secretary Jiang and leave first," Jin Qingyu said.
He Qifeng's face stiffened: "No, I'll take her away? Where can I take her?"
The He family has strict rules and a curfew; the younger generation must return to the old house every night at 10 p.m.
He Qifeng really couldn't arrange Jiang Cancan's matter.
Jiang Cancan also said, "Mr. Jin, my leg is injured, I..."
Jin Qingyu rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. He said, "Take her to a hotel to settle in first. I'll be there later."
When Lin Ma heard that Jiang Cancan was leaving, her face was already somewhat happy, but when she heard Jin Qingyu's next words, her expression suddenly became strange.
She had previously thought that her husband was just bad at expressing himself, but that he actually cared about his wife.
But now…
She wished she could go back and slap her past self twice.
No wonder my wife was angry with her before. When it comes to feelings, it's like drinking water; only the person experiencing it knows whether it's hot or cold.
He Qifeng had no other choice, and then instructed, "Hurry up, I have to go back to the old house tonight, I can't stay with Cancan for too long."
Jin Qingyu frowned but didn't reply.
In the study, Jiang Xingyao poured a cup of tea for the old man and then sat quietly to one side.
She was in a very awkward situation with the old man and had no desire to talk to him.
The old man said, "Yaoyao, Grandpa knows that that brat Ayu has hurt you these past few days. Grandpa is here to support you. I'll make him apologize to you later."
Should we apologize?
Jiang Xingyao's expression was somewhat indifferent.
What separates her from Jin Qingyu is far more than just an apology.
In the ensuing silence, Jin Qingyu pushed open the door and entered.
"Did you take it away?" the old man asked.
Jin Qingyu nodded, but his gaze fell on Jiang Xingyao. He said, "Grandpa, I want to talk to Yaoyao alone."
"How dare you say that? If I hadn't come today, how much would Yao Yao have suffered? Apologize to Yao Yao before we talk."
"No matter what ridiculous reason you have, you can't bring women from outside the home. Once you're married, you should have some sense of propriety. If you can't even do that, what's the difference between you and your father?" the old man said.
Compared to Jin Manchuan, he was always more satisfied with his second son.
Unfortunately, Uncle Jin was unlucky and passed away at a young age, leaving behind only a daughter.
Jin Qingyu ignored the old man's words and looked at Jiang Xingyao with a stubborn expression: "Did Aunt Lin say you're leaving?"
Jiang Xingyao was unwilling to mention these things in front of the old man.
Because she knew very well that with the old man watching over her, she couldn't leave.
"I just wanted to get away for a while," Jiang Xingyao said dismissively.
Jin Qingyu continued to stare at her face, as if trying to discern some clue from it.
Jiang Xingyao's expression remained indifferent, and she rarely even glanced in his direction.
That feeling of irritability came back to me.
Jin Qingyu asked, "Are you really going to relax? Why didn't you tell me?"
