Chapter 30 This time he can't protect Jiang Xingyao.
Whether it was true or not, everyone present knew the answer in their hearts.
The old man spoke first: "Since Yaoyao wants to relax, you should arrange things at the company these next few days and take her out for a walk to clear her mind."
"Grandpa, no need, he's busy at work, he..."
"good."
Before she could finish refusing, Jin Qingyu interrupted her.
Jiang Xingyao looked at Jin Qingyu with some surprise.
Jiang Cancan was just kicked out by the old man. Shouldn't his most important task now be to deal with the old man and go and appease the other person?
Why did you agree to this?
They never even had a honeymoon when they got married, and now that they're about to get divorced, why bother with something so pointless?
When the old man heard Jin Qingyu agree, his expression softened a little. He said, "It should have been done a long time ago. Hurry up and make arrangements. This week, or at the latest this weekend, the two of you should go on a trip."
"Grandpa, I..."
"Yaoyao, listen to Grandpa. This time, Grandpa will take charge for you."
"Go out and have fun, and try to come back and bring Grandpa a big, healthy great-grandson." The old man didn't give Jiang Xingyao any room to refuse.
Jiang Xingyao lowered her eyes and gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
She still remembered when they first got married, she looked forward to their honeymoon every day, but Jin Qingyu never even came into the house.
Or even if they come back, they just leave with the excuse that they're busy with company matters.
Gradually, her enthusiasm waned, and she lost interest in such things, yet he still agreed.
Jiang Xingyao felt that he was really strange.
Agreeing to travel alone when you're at your wits' end is just asking for trouble, isn't it?
"Grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll have someone take you home," Jin Qingyu said after glancing at Jiang Xingyao.
“Who said I was leaving? Before you went on your trip, this old man was already living in Xiyuan. I have to keep an eye on you and make sure you have a great-grandson soon,” the old man said.
Jin Qingyu frowned. He was about to speak when Jiang Xingyao spoke up eagerly, "Grandpa, you're used to the old house. You might not be used to moving to Xiyuan. Why don't you let Ayu take you back?"
She had absolutely no desire to spend time with Jin Qingyu at Xiyuan, and she had no interest in anything as well as traveling.
She just wanted to get rid of the old man as soon as possible so that she could leave the Jin family.
"Yaoyao, why are you in such a hurry to send Grandpa away? Do you have some other plans?" the old man asked.
Jiang Xingyao said, "How could that be? I'm just worried that Grandpa won't be used to it."
"I'm an old man with no problems. It's settled then. I'll stay here for the next few days and see you two off on your trip before I leave."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. If you two have something to do, then get out. Ah Yu, you better treat Yao Yao well. If I hear about something like this again, I'll break your legs," the old man said.
After leaving the study, Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu looked at each other in silence.
It wasn't until they returned to the master bedroom that Jin Qingyu asked, "Where exactly were you trying to go?"
“It’s none of your business,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu frowned slightly, and that strange irritation in his heart surged up once again.
He looked into Jiang Xingyao's excessively cold eyes and loosened his tie: "I really don't know what you're up to."
If you don't like Jiang Cancan, you can tell me clearly. Why make Grandpa come?
Now that Jiang Cancan has been kicked out by Grandpa, what else are you dissatisfied with?
Hearing that he also believed the old man was summoned by himself, Jiang Xingyao scoffed and offered no explanation.
It's inevitable that she'll move out; saying more will only cause unnecessary trouble.
"Jiang Xingyao, what are you thinking right now? Let's talk, don't stay silent."
Silence is like a silent torment.
Jin Qingyu sighed and pressed for more information.
“I have nothing to say to President Jin. Jiang Cancan must have been feeling terrible when her grandfather kicked her out. Instead of wasting time here, President Jin, why don’t you go and see her first?” Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu frowned even deeper: "Don't keep bringing up other people, Mrs. Jin. You called Grandpa here now because you don't really want a divorce, right? Since that's the case..."
"Don't be so self-righteous," Jiang Xingyao said. "Grandpa..."
The phone rang abruptly, and Jiang Xingyao's words came to an abrupt halt. She lifted her eyelids, waiting with interest for Jin Qingyu to leave.
It's obvious who's making the call at this time.
Jin Qingyu took out his phone, glanced at it, and then immediately turned off the screen.
He still looked at Jiang Xingyao and said, "Are you sure you want to keep being so aggressive?"
Grandpa will be staying at Xiyuan for a while, and if you continue with this attitude, he will inevitably question it.
Now that we're alone, we can talk…
The phone rang again.
It was the same ringtone, but it sounded a bit more urgent than last time.
Jin Qingyu glanced at Jiang Xingyao. The woman sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes fixed on him with a mocking gaze. Her excessively cold look made him feel very uncomfortable.
The phone kept ringing incessantly, like a death knell.
Jin Qingyu answered the call anyway; he didn't leave and answered it in front of Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao could vaguely hear He Qifeng's voice coming from the phone, probably saying the address of the hotel where Jiang Cancan was currently staying.
At the end of the conversation, he asked Jin Qingyu when he was going to go.
Jin Qingyu looked at Jiang Xingyao and saw the woman's cold, almost expressionless face.
He said, "Let Secretary Jiang recover from her injury on her own."
The implication is that he won't go.
On the other end of the phone, He Qifeng's voice suddenly rose: "What? You left Jiang Cancan alone in the hotel? What if Jiang Yuncheng..."
"That's all for now, I have other things to attend to," Jin Qingyu said dismissively, and hung up the phone.
"Not going?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
"He Qifeng has settled everyone in," Jin Qingyu said, then sighed. "Yaoyao, I don't know what's been wrong with you these past few days, but Jiang Cancan is not only your sister, but also my secretary."
Your willful behavior in embarrassing Jiang Yuncheng has seriously affected her work and life, so…”
"So you feel sorry for her," Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu's expression turned serious: "Jiang Xingyao, if you keep making things up like this, we can't talk about this."
There was no need to talk about it in the first place, Jiang Xingyao thought.
Jin Qingyu seemed hurt by her reckless attitude. He gave her a deep look, sighed, and finally left with a cigarette in his hand.
Jiang Xingyao sat on the edge of the bed and watched him stand in the yard for a while, then hurriedly left as if he had received a phone call.
The scene was all too familiar to Jiang Xingyao, so she wasn't surprised.
She even secretly hoped that he wouldn't come back today.
Since the old man was staying at Xiyuan, it wasn't convenient for her to lock the door.
Jin Qingyu returned from Jiang Cancan's place and went to her bed, but she found it disgusting.
Perhaps the heavens heard Jiang Xingyao's prayers, for the night passed peacefully.
When she got up to have breakfast in the morning, the old man was already up and drinking tea in the living room.
Jiang Xingyao greeted him, and the old man asked, "Where's Ayu?"
"I don't know," Jiang Xingyao said.
She had no intention of hiding anything from Jin Qingyu.
She should never defend Jin Qingyu again.
Seeing that Jiang Xingyao didn't want to talk, the old man directly called over Lin Ma: "Where is the master?"
"The master left last night and hasn't come back yet," Lin's mother said, not wanting to hide anything.
The old man said, "Why didn't anyone tell me? Call him and tell him to get back here."
Jiang Xingyao just watched all of this with a cold eye.
After the old man finished shouting, he turned to look at Jiang Xingyao, and his expression immediately softened.
Jiang Xingyao knew what he wanted to say.
This time she said, "Grandpa, you've seen it too. You can't keep someone who's determined to leave. Instead of forcing us together and making us a pair of ill-fated lovers, you might as well grant us your wish."
I can disregard that agreement. I already told him that I'm willing to leave with nothing, except the house in Wangshan Manor.
The old man had brought up the idea of divorce before, and then tried to persuade her in various ways.
This is the first time Jiang Xingyao has taken the initiative to confront the old man.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, we haven't figured things out yet. Maybe something's wrong at the company?" the old man said.
Just then, Lin's mother suddenly came over: "Madam, the master wants you to take this call."
Jiang Xingyao answered the phone, her brows already showing impatience. Before she could speak, Jin Qingyu's questioning voice came through: "Did you tell your father Secretary Jiang's address?"
Jiang Xingyao wasn't surprised at all when she heard that he was with Jiang Cancan.
As for his question.
Jiang Xingyao knew what was going on without even thinking.
It must be her good sister orchestrating this whole thing again.
I had barely checked into the hotel when Jiang Yuncheng's men found me. What a coincidence!
"Jiang Xingyao, speak up. Are you really going to force Secretary Jiang to her death before you're satisfied?" Jin Qingyu questioned again, and the faint sound of a woman sobbing could be heard through the receiver.
"Are you an idiot? You believe everything she says, so why bother asking me?" Jiang Xingyao retorted irritably and tried to hang up, but the old man snatched the phone from her hand.
The microphone was very loud, and Jiang Xingyao could hear Jin Qingyu telling her to apologize.
He said, "You've gone too far this time. You must apologize to Secretary Jiang in person."
"Who do you want this old man to apologize to?" the old man asked directly.
On the other end of the phone, Jin Qingyu was silent for a moment. Jiang Xingyao felt that he was probably thinking that she had deliberately brought her grandfather to help her.
The old man scolded Jin Qingyu a couple more times, told him to come back quickly, and then hung up the phone.
The hotel was in a complete mess.
Cups and toothbrushes were scattered everywhere.
Jiang Cancan huddled in the corner, clutching her blanket, revealing a bandaged section of her leg. Her eyes were red as she looked at Jin Qingyu, who had just finished a phone call, and said aggrievedly, "Mr. Jin, never mind. My sister is always like this. I'm used to it. If she doesn't want to apologize, then she doesn't have to."
“No, she went too far this time. I’ll make her give you an explanation,” Jin Qingyu said.
Jiang Cancan nodded with red eyes: "President Jin, I really don't know what to do now. Brother Qifeng just left yesterday, and those people came. I really don't dare to stay here anymore."
