Chapter 302 It's time to settle things with Jiang Cancan.
After Zhou Huaiyan left, Jiang Xingyao said, "Mom, it's getting late. Let me help you back to your room to rest."
Qu Xinting didn't move. She looked at Jiang Xingyao: "Yaoyao, you heard what I just said, didn't you?"
Jiang Xingyao's expression flickered. She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and reassured Qu Xinting, "Mom, none of this matters. I respect your thoughts. You can say what you want to say, or I won't ask if you don't want to."
Looking at Jiang Xingyao's overly sensible demeanor, Qu Xinting sighed deeply and asked, "Yaoyao, did you already know something?"
Jiang Xingyao pursed her lips slightly, and finally nodded: "I heard Jiang Yuncheng mention it in prison before, Mom. None of that really matters. It's enough that I am your daughter and your grandfather's granddaughter."
Qu Xinting patted the back of her hand: "Actually, there's nothing that can't be said."
"Yaoyao, Zhou Huaiyan wasn't wrong just now. You are a daughter of the Zhou family, his cousin."
Even though she had already heard it, Jiang Xingyao was still astonished when Qu Xinting admitted it herself: "You mean I'm Uncle Zhou's daughter?"
Qu Xinting said, "Yes, your Uncle Zhou and I grew up together. Both families were interested in us getting married. After graduating from high school, it was a natural progression that we got together."
Your Uncle Zhou is more mature than me. When I was twenty-one or twenty-two and still only knew how to go shopping and travel, he had already started to take over company affairs.
The two of us…
In short, it was an accident. He was drunk, and when I went to see him, ...
Later, after he sobered up, he seemed to have forgotten about it. At that time, I was too embarrassed to bring it up, thinking that we were going to get married sooner or later, so there was no need to bring it up again.
Who knew that later, I would meet Jiang Yuncheng.
At this point, Qu Xinting paused slightly, as if lost in memories, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Jiang Xingyao wanted Qu Xinting to stop talking, but Qu Xinting quickly said directly, "I only found out I was pregnant when I was about to marry Jiang Yuncheng."
Actually, at that time, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but Jiang Yuncheng insisted that the child in my belly was his, and that I just didn't remember it.
Your grandfather only agreed to let me marry him because of this child.
And so the matter was buried in a daze. Yaoyao, it was only later, as I gradually remembered everything, that I learned you weren't Jiang Yuncheng's child.
When Qu Xinting mentioned Jiang Yuncheng's name, her voice was filled with barely suppressed hatred.
A heavy emotion was also churning within Jiang Xingyao's heart.
All the injustices Qu Xinting has suffered over the years, as well as the unhappiness of her childhood, are all due to Jiang Yuncheng's selfish desires.
Even though Jiang Yuncheng has been brought to justice and those things happened a long time ago, the hurt he suffered will not disappear so easily.
Qu Xinting said, "Yaoyao, it's Mom's fault. If Mom hadn't been so willful and hadn't abandoned you and Uncle Zhou to run off on her own, she wouldn't have met Jiang Yuncheng."
"No, Mom. I heard Bai Fang say that Jiang Yuncheng wanted to hook up with a rich girl from the very beginning."
You are his target; he's been eyeing you for a long time.
Even if you hadn't met him that time, he would have found another reason to approach you.
So this isn't your fault; it's all Jiang Yuncheng's fault for being greedy.
"You're just a victim, don't blame everything on yourself," Jiang Xingyao said.
She leaned over and bent down to hug Qu Xinting tightly.
Qu Xinting didn't say anything more, and time passed little by little. Jiang Xingyao asked first, "Mom, you still care about Uncle Zhou, right?"
Then why didn't you agree to be with Uncle Zhou?
If it's because of me that Brother Huaiyan discovered my identity, and he didn't resist, what obstacles remain between you and Uncle Zhou?
Zhou Keyuan never hid his feelings for Qu Xinting, and it was easy for people to see. Jiang Xingyao could also sense that Qu Xinting actually cared about Zhou Keyuan a lot.
Her mother had told her so many stories of hardship, and Jiang Xingyao would certainly support her if she could find a loving and supportive partner in the future.
Moreover, she could tell that Zhou Huaiyan was even more supportive of the marriage than she was.
"Yaoyao, the Zhou family's situation is not as simple as you think. They have many branches and their relationships are complicated."
Huaiyan is a good kid; it's already quite an achievement that he can keep those people in check all by himself.
Huaiyan's father was more mediocre than your Uncle Zhou. Your Uncle Zhou was the head of the Zhou family. Now, he has never married and has no children, so the position of heir to the Zhou family has fallen to Huaiyan.
If I were with your Uncle Zhou and your true identity were discovered, the Zhou family would definitely be thrown into turmoil, and some people with ulterior motives would try to sow discord and undermine Huaiyan's position.
Moreover, Yao Yao has finally gained her freedom, and Mom doesn't want you to get involved in the Zhou family's power struggles.
Isn't that good enough?
Your Uncle Zhou and I are already so old, there's no need for us to stay together.
Jiang Xingyao hadn't expected Qu Xinting to have such concerns. She didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. Qu Xinting then said, "Yaoyao, it's really good that Mom is like this. You don't need to worry about Mom. Just take good care of yourself."
Jiang Xingyao suddenly realized something, and she said knowingly, "So, was it because of this that you didn't agree to change my name last time?"
Qu Xinting didn't deny it: "Although Jiang Yuncheng is a disgusting bastard, it's safest for you to take his surname now."
Jiang Xingyao now fully understands Qu Xinting's good intentions. The Zhou family's business in Hong Kong is not exactly clean, and she knows very well that, given her personality, it is not suitable for her to get involved with the Zhou family.
Qu Xinting did this entirely out of concern for herself.
Qu Xinting said, "Okay, Yaoyao, don't think about it so much. I know my own situation, and you don't need to worry about me."
And it's not entirely because of you. After everything we've been through, I also want a peaceful life and don't want to have anything to do with the Zhou family.
Qu Xinting didn't want to say more about this matter, so Jiang Xingyao helped her back to her room to rest. The next day, she still met with Zhou Huaiyan and told him about Qu Xinting's concerns.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Brother Huaiyan, I know you care about Uncle Zhou, and I also hope my mother is happy. If you can resolve my mother's concerns, I think she won't refuse Uncle Zhou anymore."
As Jiang Xingyao finished speaking, Zhou Huaiyan chuckled softly and said, "Yaoyao, thank you for being willing to tell me all this, but if Aunt Qu's worries are because of this, I think they are unnecessary."
The Zhou family's situation was indeed very complicated before, with many factions, but things are much better now.
Of course, I know that these are just my own words and they don't have much credibility. Yao Yao, I wonder if you could help me arrange to meet Aunt Qu again so that she can come to Gangcheng with me. I will personally take her to witness the current situation of the Zhou family.
Only in this way can she be completely at ease.
Zhou Huaiyan's words raised a glimmer of hope in Jiang Xingyao's heart. She was glad that she had met Zhou Huaiyan today and explained Qu Xinting's concerns, which prevented the matter from remaining deadlocked.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Of course, I also hope that my mother's concerns can be resolved. Brother Huaiyan, I'll leave this matter to you."
Zhou Huaiyan said, "Yaoyao, no matter what, I still want to thank you for agreeing to my uncle and Aunt Qu being together."
“It’s not that I’m willing to agree, but if it weren’t for those unexpected events, the two of them would have been destined for each other. We are just correcting the wrongs now. They have loved each other so much over the years, so what reason do we have not to support them?” Jiang Xingyao said.
After Jiang Xingyao and Zhou Huaiyan parted ways, she received a call from Ji Yunyin. Ji Yunyin's voice on the other end of the phone was clearly excited: "Yaoyao, the matter you asked me to keep an eye on has yielded results. Now everyone in the circle is talking about Jiang Cancan's pregnancy problem."
And before, Jiang Cancan made a lot of news about herself in order to frame you, and many people suspected that the child in her belly was not He Qifeng's at all.
I used the Qin family's connections to keep an eye on the situation at various hospitals, and sure enough, I found that Jiang Cancan went to a small hospital today. I suspect she will definitely try to get rid of this child.
Yao Yao, what are you planning to do next?
Jiang Xingyao wasn't too surprised by the result. She said, "Yinyin, could you please find someone to keep surveillance footage of Jiang Cancan entering and leaving the hospital, and also get me her medical records and pregnancy test results?"
Judging from Jiang Cancan's lively and energetic state every day, one can guess that the baby in her belly must be extremely healthy.
She wanted to find a reason to abort the child, whether it was to create an accident, make a fuss about the child's congenital defects, or something else, but the real pregnancy test results couldn't lie.
Jiang Xingyao thought that Jiang Cancan had harmed her child and done so many things to her, so it was time for him to settle things with her.
The Qin family is a leader in the medical industry, and with Qin Mobei's connections, obtaining a pregnancy test result is a piece of cake.
The next day, Ji Yunyin delivered the items to Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao directly invited Qu Xinting to go with her, and under some pretext, took the pregnancy test results to the He family.
After Old Master He passed away, Father He did not leave. After Qu Xinting sent her visiting card, the two were quickly welcomed into the He residence. Apart from He Qifeng, who had been kicked out of the He family, everyone else in the He family was present today.
Mother He warmly instructed the servants to serve tea, and then politely asked Qu Xinting, "I've heard that the Qu family is thriving under your leadership, Miss Qu. What brings you to my house today, Miss Qu?"
