Chapter 300 Accumulating Blessings for Children
Gu Zhiyuan's face burned because of Zheng Ying's words.
Amidst the scornful glances of countless people, she still argued, "I don't understand what you're saying. Isn't my brother good enough to you?"
Zheng Ying said, "Miss Gu, you and your brother know perfectly well whether he treats me well or not."
"Let me make this clear: this matter will not end easily. Miss Gu, you should tell your brother that he's facing a lawsuit."
Gu Zhiyuan was furious. She tried to pull Zheng Ying away, but Zheng Ying had already hired bodyguards and immediately separated her.
Gu Zhiyuan could only watch Zheng Ying walk out of the auction house. She saw Zheng Ying greet a tall man, whom she recognized as Zheng Ying's older brother.
It wasn't until Gu Zhiyuan saw that the Zheng family had all come to the capital that she realized Zheng Ying was truly determined to sever ties with the Gu family.
Gu Zhiyuan quickly called President Gu again, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Youliang standing next to her with a gloomy expression.
She politely called him "Dad," but Shen Youliang ignored her and walked right past her.
Gu Zhiyuan grew increasingly anxious and quickly jogged to catch up with Shen Youliang.
Zheng Ying's actions at the auction today naturally attracted a large crowd.
Almost everyone knows that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu of Yunpu Group are getting a divorce, and there will definitely be more lawsuits to come.
When Jiang Xingyao and Qu Xinting came out of the auction house, they were also impressed by Zheng Ying's courage. When they turned around, they saw Shen Mingsu standing in front of them.
The crowd had mostly dispersed, and the Shen family members were nowhere to be seen. Jiang Xingyao said somewhat impatiently, "Is Young Master Shen here to give me money again?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Shen Mingsu's face. He said, "Yaoyao, can we not talk about this?"
“I don’t think there’s anything else I can bring up with you besides this,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Back then, it was Shen Youliang and his wife who came to her one after another, insisting that she had seduced Shen Mingsu. Jiang Xingyao didn't want to be bothered by those two jinxes again. She just hoped to make Shen Mingsu give up as soon as possible and keep his promise to appear in front of her less often.
Shen Mingsu looked a little dejected, but quickly began to assure Jiang Xingyao again: "Yaoyao, I want to tell you that Gu Zhiyuan and I are about to get divorced. I will not give up on you. After I finish dealing with things at home, I will come back to pursue you again."
Jiang Xingyao gave Shen Mingsu a strange look, scrutinizing him from head to toe. The words "Are you sick?" were almost on her tongue, but in the end, she didn't say them.
She said in a serious tone, "Young Master Shen, first of all, I don't like you. Secondly, you should know your parents' attitude better than anyone else. I hope you will have mercy on me and let me go, instead of harassing and tormenting me here every day."
"No, Yao Yao, believe me, they will definitely agree this time."
"After I get divorced, no one in the industry will be willing to marry me anymore, and they definitely won't care about me then," Shen Ming said.
Jiang Xingyao and Qu Xinting looked at each other. Just as Qu Xinting was about to lose her temper, Jiang Xingyao was the first to yell, "Shen Mingsu, you are really disgusting now."
You keep saying you like me and want to be with me, but deep down you clearly look down on me. You even think that I'm only good enough for someone like you who's been married before, right?
"I...I didn't..." Shen Mingsu's breath hitched as he was scolded. He desperately wanted to explain, but Jiang Xingyao sneered again: "I have my own career now. A song can sell for tens of millions. What does Young Master Shen have?"
The identity of the heir to the Shen family, a life controlled and manipulated by his parents.
What would I get in return for marrying you? Would I be unable to hold my head up high every day due to your parents' contempt and oppression?
Shen Mingsu, I remember you were the one who encouraged me to get out of the mire. Now that I have grown wings, it is you who want to break my wings and pull me down.
Should I say you're fickle, or selfish?
Jiang Xingyao's questions struck Shen Mingsu's heart with each and every one of them.
"I..." Shen Mingsu's lips moved slightly, but he was once again rendered speechless by the words.
Jiang Xingyao continued, "I always thought that you were somewhat sincere in front of me back then, but now it seems that from the beginning you were just pretending to gain my trust."
“No, Yaoyao, I can’t deny that I had an ulterior motive when I appeared in front of you, but later I really just wanted you to be happy,” Shen Ming said.
Jiang Xingyao said, "If you really wanted what was best for me, you wouldn't have said such things. Shen Mingsu, admit it, your so-called 'like' isn't sincere."
Perhaps the reason you're still chasing after me is simply because of your vanity or your competitive spirit.
I don't want to keep arguing with you. Please think about it carefully.
Shen Mingsu finally left, while Qu Xinting stared at Jiang Xingyao for a long time before saying, "Yaoyao, you did alright this time."
Jiang Xingyao roughly understood that Qu Xinting was clearly comparing her attitude towards handling Shen Mingsu's case with her attitude towards handling Jin Qingyu.
Jiang Xingyao lowered her head slightly, her hand clutching the hem of her skirt. She murmured, "I can tell the difference between sincerity and falsehood."
Unlike Shen Mingsu's calculating pursuit, Jiang Xingyao could sense Jin Qingyu's sincerity, and for this reason, she really couldn't be too indifferent to him.
Qu Xinting shook her head gently again. Even if Jiang Xingyao didn't say anything, she could sense something was wrong from Jiang Xingyao's attitude towards Jin Qingyu.
This ominous feeling was amplified when she turned around and saw Jin Qingyu standing not far away, seemingly having been there for an unknown amount of time.
Before Qu Xinting could say anything, Jin Qingyu strode over and said, "Yaoyao, mother-in-law, let me take you home."
A slight smile still lingered on his lips, clearly indicating that he had heard Jiang Xingyao's words.
Qu Xinting said, "President Jin really made a big splash today. I'm afraid that after today, all the socialites in the city will have seen President Jin's extravagant spending."
Jin Qingyu said, "My mother-in-law is wrong to say that. Even if they really saw something, it was because I spent a fortune on Yao Yao."
You don't need to test me with those words; all I feel is uncertainty.
Qu Xinting rolled her eyes rather inelegantly: "I don't need you to take me. You can bring Yaoyao back later."
"Mom, I..."
Jiang Xingyao was taken aback for a moment. Qu Xinting just gave her a deep look before getting into her car.
Jiang Xingyao always felt that Qu Xinting looked a little unhappy when she left.
“I heard what you and your mother-in-law were saying just now,” Jin Qingyu said after Qu Xinting left.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Don't misunderstand, even so, it doesn't mean anything."
Jin Qingyu said, "Why doesn't it mean anything? At least it shows that in your heart, I have finally surpassed that one surnamed Chen."
He seemed genuinely happy. In Jiang Xingyao's memory, he wasn't usually one to show his emotions easily, but this time Jiang Xingyao could clearly see a smile on his face.
"So what if you beat Shen Mingsu once? Are you that happy?" Jiang Xingyao retorted.
Jin Qingyu explained in a serious tone: "Of course, the man surnamed Shen always likes to put on that sanctimonious act in front of you. You used to always believe him and never believed me. Now that you don't believe me anymore, of course I should be happy."
Jiang Xingyao looked at Jin Qingyu and suddenly felt a little lost. It turned out that she had treated Shen Mingsu and Jin Qingyu differently in the past.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
I didn't mean to blame you.
Although I often can't stand how you unconditionally trust him, I also know that I've done many wrong things, and no matter how you treat me, I deserve it.
"But this time you didn't stand by his side unconditionally like before, and I'm really relieved," Jin Qingyu said.
He lowered his head to comfort Jiang Xingyao, but Jiang Xingyao suddenly said slowly, "Jin Qingyu, you know how unpleasant it is to be treated differently, right?"
But I haven't wronged you. From the moment you married me, you've always stood by Jiang Cancan's side.
"Did I deserve that?"
Watching Jin Qingyu's smile, her face frozen by her own words, Jiang Xingyao felt a strange sense of pleasure.
"I'm sorry." The calm on the surface was torn apart by Jiang Xingyao, and Jin Qingyu belatedly realized that Jiang Xingyao had already gone through the same path he was on.
Jin Qingyu's face flushed with panic once again. He grabbed Jiang Xingyao's wrist and said, "Yaoyao, I'm a bastard. I'm sorry. If you're still uncomfortable or unhappy, just hit me or scold me."
Or I'll accept anything you do to me, as long as it makes you even a little bit happy.
Jiang Xingyao withdrew her hand: "I'm not as naive as you think. I just wanted to tell you that some things don't end just because they're in the past."
Even though I can see your sincerity now, it doesn't negate the harm you caused me.
So, don't be so smug.
When Jiang Xingyao was going through a divorce with him, Jin Qingyu already knew that although Jiang Xingyao usually seemed calm and collected, sometimes the things she said could really hurt people.
For example, right now.
Just when he thought he saw a glimmer of hope again, she ruthlessly brought up the past, crushing that last bit of hope.
“I understand,” Jin Qingyu said. “I know you want me to let go, but Yaoyao, I can’t let go. From the first moment I saw you, I never thought of letting go.”
I will make you believe in my feelings for you.
Jiang Xingyao didn't respond to his serious question. Instead, she asked again, "When did you donate to those welfare homes today? And why in my name?"
Jin Qingyu was silent for a moment, then he said sorry again. Jiang Xingyao thought he wouldn't answer the question, but she heard him say in an almost inaudible voice, "I'm accumulating good karma for that child."
