Chapter 316 Can a Letter of Understanding Be Issued?
Qin Jiangnan's fierce words, like a firecracker, did not displease Jin Qingyu. He said, "In that case, I would also welcome our young master Qin to come and supervise us often. I guarantee I won't give you the chance to steal Yaoyao away."
"You'd better be." Qin Jiangnan's attitude remained unpleasant. "Jin Qingyu, you treated Jiang Xingyao so badly before, and she's still willing to forgive you. You should be grateful. If she's even slightly unhappy around you, I'll take her away no matter what."
Qin Jiangnan looked annoyed. Without waiting for Jin Qingyu's reply, he strode away, slamming the hospital door shut with a loud bang.
Jiang Xingyao said, "He's just a bit impulsive, but he didn't mean any harm. Don't take it to heart."
Moreover, this situation is urgent; without him, He Qifeng would probably…”
"Yaoyao, what are you so nervous about? I'm not going to argue with a kid."
"Besides, he really cares about you," Jin Qingyu said.
Jiang Xingyao's face showed utter surprise: "Are you serious? But you used to..."
“Yaoyao, we used to be competitors, so of course we have to put on a show,” Jin Qingyu said.
In truth, he never considered Qin Jiangnan as a rival. The young master was sincere and passionate, but not mature enough. He didn't think Jiang Xingyao would like someone like that. On the contrary, it was Shen Mingsu...
For so long, the person he was wary of and feared was always that person.
Jiang Xingyao also understood Jin Qingyu's implication. She glanced at him and said, "Jin Qingyu, don't be so smug. Even if... even if I give in, it doesn't mean anything. Don't forget you still have to get past my mom and my brother."
Jin Qingyu's expression changed slightly. He gently patted Jiang Xingyao's head and said, "Of course, Yaoyao. I like you. Seeing so many people around you who treat you well makes me really happy for you. No matter what kind of test it is, it is something I should bear, and I can handle it."
Perhaps it's because we've always been at odds with each other.
Now that she can get along with Jin Qingyu peacefully, Jiang Xingyao feels strangely uncomfortable.
Jin Qingyu then said, "Yaoyao, after we get back to the capital, take some time to come back to the old house with me. I have a gift for you."
"I…"
“Grandpa has been missing you a lot too. He would be so happy to see you,” Jin Qingyu added.
Jiang Xingyao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Although her divorce caused some unpleasantness at the old house, now that she and Jin Qingyu have reached this point, it's only a matter of time before she returns to the old house.
After Jin Qingyu's condition stabilized, the two prepared to set off directly back to the capital.
During this time, the town mayor also woke up. His condition was not very good, so Jiang Xingyao temporarily kept the medical team that Zhou Huaiyan had invited.
The driver who caused the accident was also caught, and he readily admitted that he was acting on He Qifeng's orders.
He Qifeng's crimes were beyond dispute, and he was directly transferred to the police station in the capital.
Accompanying Jiang Xingyao on her return from Lanyun Town was Assistant Han. Throughout the journey, Assistant Han's brow remained furrowed as he watched Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu chatting and laughing.
Jin Qingyu saw it too, and he leaned close to Jiang Xingyao and whispered, "Yaoyao, do you believe that Assistant Han is already planning how to complain to your brother? If your brother makes things difficult, can you plead for me?"
Jiang Xingyao smiled: "Weren't you not afraid before? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Jin Qingyu said, "I'm not afraid, but isn't he your brother? I kidnapped his sister, so I have to leave him some room to retaliate. If he really wants to lay a hand on me, I definitely..."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Jiang Xingyao patted his shoulder.
Jin Qingyu probed again: "So, Yao Yao, you've agreed to plead for me?"
Jiang Xingyao said, "I just want to say that my brother is in Hong Kong, so you don't need to see him for the time being."
When Zhou Huaiyan was mentioned, Jiang Xingyao felt a little guilty. Before she went to Lanyun Town, she had confidently told Zhou Huaiyan that there would be nothing between her and Jin Qingyu, but now, she had finally softened her heart.
Jiang Xingyao herself hadn't figured out how to explain things to Zhou Huaiyan after they met.
As the plane landed in Beijing and I stepped out of the airport, the chill of early winter swept over me instantly.
Jin Qingyu casually took off his trench coat and draped it over Jiang Xingyao's shoulders. Jiang Xingyao shook her head: "I'm not cold. Your injury hasn't fully healed yet. You should wear it yourself."
She tiptoed and draped the coat back over Jin Qingyu's shoulders. Before she could push him away, Jin Qingyu reached out and pulled her into his arms, his large coat covering half of her body: "This way you won't be cold."
Assistant Han, following behind, rolled his eyes and bluntly reminded him, "Madam will be here soon. Mr. Jin, are you sure you want to see her like this?"
Before Jin Qingyu could speak, a woman stumbled and rushed towards them: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Jin, Qi Feng was just confused for a moment and made a mistake. He has realized his mistake now. Could you please give him a letter of forgiveness and let him off this time, considering that we are all in the same circle? I promise that I will never let him appear in front of you again, nor will I let him affect you again."
Only after hearing the other person's hurried and flustered words did Jiang Xingyao recognize that this was He Qifeng's mother.
Her hair was disheveled, she wasn't wearing makeup, her eyes were covered in black smudges, and her face looked extremely haggard. She looked utterly disheveled and didn't resemble a wealthy socialite at all.
But the demands she made only made Jiang Xingyao feel heartbroken.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Aunt He, do you know that He Qifeng has now committed intentional homicide?"
Mother He said, "He just made a mistake and went down the wrong path for a moment. Yao Yao, your aunt watched you grow up. Your aunt knows you are kind. Look, you are both fine now, aren't you? If you don't issue a letter of forgiveness, Qi Feng will be locked up for life. Can you bear to watch him spend his whole life in prison?"
Jiang Xingyao said, "Auntie, what you're saying is really funny. We're fine. It's not that your son is kind and showed mercy."
If Qin Jiangnan hadn't arrived in time, we would have all been crushed to death by He Qifeng.
As for a letter of understanding, I have no say in that. Jin Qingyu and I did return safely, but the mayor of Lanyun Town is still in the emergency room, and there's also Driver Wu, who died on the spot. These aunties haven't mentioned a word about it!"
"Well... I don't know those people, Yao Yao. We all run into each other all the time in the capital, you see..."
Just because you don't know them, does that mean their lives don't matter?
"Aunt He, I always thought you were kind-hearted, just a little indecisive. Now it seems I was wrong. You are just as wicked as anyone else," Jiang Xingyao said.
She watched as Mother He's expression grew colder and colder, filled with disbelief.
Mother He also got angry: "Jiang Xingyao, how dare you talk to your elders like that?"
"Elder? I'm still here. How can you be considered her elder?"
Sister-in-law He, what He Qifeng did is a done deal, and his sentence was decided by the police. If you have any objections, you can go to the police station to make a scene. Coming here to bother Yaoyao, don't you think my Yaoyao is easy to bully?
I always thought that the He family had severed ties with He Qifeng. I never thought of taking my anger out on the He family for what He Qifeng did to Yao Yao.
But today it seems that things are not as I thought, so I don't need to worry about anything anymore.
"Your He family must give an explanation for what He Qifeng did to my daughter." Qu Xinting appeared at some point and stood in front of Jiang Xingyao, continuing He's mother's words.
Mother He's expression stiffened. A clear look of panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly changed her words, saying, "Sister Qu, what are you talking about now?"
Why did things have to come to that point?
Look at Yaoyao, she's doing just fine now, isn't she? On the contrary, my son is already in jail. Is it too impulsive to let this damage the relationship between our two families?"
She came to plead for mercy without the knowledge of the entire He family.
It is said that a mother and child are of one heart. Now that He Qifeng has suffered so much, how can she, as his mother, completely sit idly by?
However, if her plea really affects the relationship between the two families, He's mother will have no way to explain it to the He family when she goes back.
Qu Xinting sneered: "Yaoyao already said that the reason she's standing in front of me unharmed is not because your son showed mercy."
Without even glancing at He's mother, her gaze was already fixed on Jiang Xingyao, or more precisely, on Jin Qingyu standing behind Jiang Xingyao, and on Jin Qingyu's hand resting on Jiang Xingyao's waist.
That gaze seemed to carry a hint of heat, and Jin Qingyu loosened his grip slightly, feeling a little guilty.
Qu Xinting didn't say anything in the end, but said to Jiang Xingyao, "You must be tired after such a long flight. I've already prepared the meal. Let's go home first and talk about it later."
Instead of directly making things difficult for him, she seemed to be deliberately ignoring Jin Qingyu's presence. Jiang Xingyao was also unsure of herself. She tugged at Jin Qingyu's hand, intending to signal him to leave so she could have a proper talk with Qu Xinting when she got back.
But Jin Qingyu didn't seem to understand her meaning and got into the Qu family's car quite consciously.
Although Jiang Xingyao felt a little helpless, she couldn't very well kick people out, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the bus.
Throughout the journey, Qu Xinting remained completely silent, and the car was unusually quiet. Jiang Xingyao took the initiative to start a conversation: "Mom, what you were saying to Aunt He earlier, was it true? You really want to go with the He family..."
“Yaoyao, these things have nothing to do with you, you don’t need to care,” Qu Xinting said, sitting in the passenger seat, glancing at Jin Qingyu again through the rearview mirror.
Jin Qingyu ignored her and echoed Qu Xinting's words, saying to Jiang Xingyao, "That's right, Yaoyao. We're enough for business matters. You just focus on playing your piano and doing what you love."
