Chapter 320 Jin Yanzhou's Past
Ji Yunyin reluctantly sat down next to Jiang Xingyao, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Oh, so busy people still remember their friend? I thought you only had that Jin Qingyu in your heart now."
"How could that be? Yin Yin is definitely more important to me than him."
"If I hadn't had to go to the police station today, I would have come to find you already," Jiang Xingyao said.
Ji Yunyin's face quickly showed worry: "What did you go to the police station for again? I haven't even had a chance to ask you yet, what exactly happened that day? What about He Qifeng..."
Jiang Xingyao placed the peeled crayfish into Ji Yunyin's bowl: "Miss, please eat your crayfish while I tell you my story."
Ji Yunyin said, "When did you become so talkative? Did you learn it from Jin Qingyu?"
Jiang Xingyao shook her head and immediately changed the subject, recounting the whole incident. After listening, Ji Yunyin slammed her fist heavily on the table: "So all of this was done by Jin Yanzhou? I used to think he was a gentleman, but I never expected him to be so cunning. If I remember correctly, his daughter should be quite grown up by now. Doesn't he care about his child's morals at all?"
“Ningning is Shen Ying’s child alone, and has nothing to do with him,” Jiang Xingyao said. He now also feels that Shen Ying was right to resolutely sever ties with Jin Yanzhou back then, otherwise, even little Shuijing might have been corrupted by him.
Ji Yunyin nodded, then paused for a moment before asking, "So, are you really planning to remarry Jin Qingyu?"
“I haven’t thought that much about it. I’m just taking it one day at a time. I’m not sure how far we can go,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Remarriage was indeed too far away for Jiang Xingyao. That marriage certificate was like an invisible rope binding him, and it was too difficult to break free.
Jiang Xingyao didn't want to be dragged into this anymore.
Ji Yunyin's expression finally softened a little: "I thought you really wanted to remarry him regardless of everything, but it seems you're not completely confused yet."
That's good, Yao Yao. You really should think about yourself like this. I just hope that this time you can put yourself in the leading position in this relationship. You should be the one to decide when it ends and when it begins. Don't let the initiative fall into his hands again. That's enough.
Ji Yunyin believed that Jiang Xingyao's decision to give Jin Qingyu a chance was well thought out, and she really couldn't stop her from doing anything. She just hoped that Jiang Xingyao could come to her senses.
Jiang Xingyao reached out and hugged Ji Yunyin: "I knew Yinyin was the best to me. Yinyin has forgiven me, right?"
Ji Yunyin pushed her: "Your hands are all oily, go wash them first. If you touch me, I really won't forgive you."
Jiang Xingyao quickly agreed. Ji Yunyin looked at her back and felt that Jiang Xingyao had changed a lot.
She seemed to have become lively and energetic, no longer as silent and lifeless as before, like a stagnant pool without any ripples.
Ji Yunyin also knew that Jiang Xingyao's transformation was entirely due to the careful efforts of those around her to make up for her and take care of her.
Seeing Jiang Xingyao like this made her genuinely happy, and she hoped that Jiang Xingyao could continue to be so cheerful.
Jiang Xingyao stayed at Ji Yunyin's place to sleep that night.
Early in the morning, she received a call from Assistant Xu, who said that Jin Yanzhou had been taken from Hong Kong to the capital police station overnight, and that Jin Qingyu had been called back to the old mansion by the old man.
Jiang Xingyao explained the situation to Ji Yunyin and then asked Assistant Xu to come and pick her up.
It was indeed she who suggested sending Jin Yanzhou to prison, and she wouldn't let Jin Qingyu bear the consequences alone.
Jiang Xingyao hadn't been to the old house for a long time. When Chen Ma saw her, she was extremely surprised and stood there for a while before going in to announce, "Master, the second young mistress has returned."
The phrase "Second Young Mistress" still feels like a distant memory to Jiang Xingyao now.
Everyone in the Jin family seemed just as she remembered. Han Hui was still sitting on the sofa, calmly drinking tea, as if Jin Yanzhou's affairs had nothing to do with her.
As for Aunt Jin, she continued to considerately serve tea and water to the old man, while Jin Qingyu stood opposite him. It was unclear what they had discussed before she arrived, but the atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson seemed somewhat tense.
Jiang Xingyao didn't see Jin Yuanqiu, so she guessed that she should be at the company.
"Yaoyao, why did you suddenly come over today? You didn't even tell Grandpa beforehand." When the old man saw Jiang Xingyao, he immediately put on a kind smile and invited her to sit down next to him.
Jiang Xingyao did not sit down. She walked to Jin Qingyu's side and stood there: "Grandpa, this matter has nothing to do with Jin Qingyu. I insisted on handing this matter over to the police."
The old man didn't speak, but just looked up at Jiang Xingyao, glancing at Jin Qingyu every now and then. He said, "Yaoyao, if Grandpa isn't mistaken, you came here to protect this brat. Have you really made up with him?"
"I suppose so." Jiang Xingyao did not deny it. "Grandpa, it was Jin Yanzhou who first tried to kill us. This is the lesson he deserves. Please don't blame Jin Qingyu for this."
Old Master Jin sighed deeply: "How could I not know?"
He knew, of course, that Jin Yanzhou had gone too far this time. No matter how the police judged him, it was what Jin Yanzhou deserved. But after all, Jin Yanzhou was his grandson, and he naturally felt sorry for him.
Jiang Xingyao could tell from the old man's voice that he didn't blame Jin Qingyu for this, but thinking about the tense atmosphere just now, she was also a little confused.
The old man quickly changed the subject: "Yaoyao, since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner? It's been a long time since Grandpa has spoken to you."
He clearly didn't want to mention Jin Yanzhou, so Jiang Xingyao had no choice but to go along with it.
Seeing that she had agreed, the old man said to Aunt Jin, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call Yuanqiu and tell her to come back. Yaoyao is already here, how can she have so much to do?"
Aunt Jin quickly called Jin Yuanqiu, while the old man gave Jin Qingyu another ambiguous glare.
Jiang Xingyao could sense that the atmosphere here was still extremely heavy.
She pulled Jin Qingyu aside and asked, "What did Grandpa say to you just now? He seemed very unhappy. Wasn't it because of Jin Yanzhou?"
"No, it's a company matter," Jin Qingyu said.
Jiang Xingyao really couldn't ask too many questions about company matters, and Jin Qingyu then asked, "Why did you suddenly come over today?"
Jiang Xingyao said, "It was Assistant Xu who called me."
"So, Yao Yao, you came because you were worried about me?"
"I...I just came to watch the fun, okay?" Jiang Xingyao said.
She nudged Jin Qingyu: "I think you should be more low-key, after all, Jin Yanzhou is only... with Aunt Han..."
Jiang Xingyao didn't know what to say. Han Hui really didn't seem to care about Jin Yanzhou at all, but she was, after all, Jin Yanzhou's biological mother. It was better to keep a low profile in front of her than to make a mistake.
Jin Qingyu said, "Don't worry, she's probably happier than anyone else right now that Jin Yanzhou is in trouble."
Jiang Xingyao was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say such things carelessly?"
Jin Qingyu simply pulled Jiang Xingyao into the courtyard: "After Jin Manchuan and Aunt Han's marriage, things haven't been entirely clean, but there were two major incidents, one of which was..."
He paused for a moment, and Jiang Xingyao knew it was his mother.
Jiang Xingyao asked, "And the other time?"
Jin Qingyu said, "That was shortly after they got married. At that time, they didn't live in the old house. It is said that when Aunt Han was pregnant with Jin Yanzhou, Jin Manchuan hired a nanny to take care of her. In fact, that nanny was someone he kept outside. Later, he even brought her home and had an affair right under Aunt Han's nose."
As for Jin Yanzhou, he was also taken care of by a nanny from birth. By the time Aunt Han found out about this, Jin Yanzhou was already two years old. He thought the nanny was his mother and regarded Aunt Han as a bad person. After Aunt Han sent the nanny away, Jin Yanzhou was not close to her and would bite and scold her whenever he had the chance.
But he was, after all, Aunt Han's son, whom she had carried for ten months. Aunt Han wanted to be close to him, and he always acted this way, which thoroughly broke her heart. Aunt Han developed depressive tendencies. Grandpa intervened and suppressed the matter. From then on, Jin Manchuan and Aunt Han moved to the old house, and Grandpa arranged for someone to take care of Jin Yanzhou.
“But according to your logic, Aunt Han should also care about Jin Yanzhou,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu said, "After my mother's affair was exposed, Aunt Han had the idea of divorcing Jin Manchuan, but Jin Manchuan did not agree at the time, and Jin Yanzhou would not go with her either. He thought that any other mother outside was better than her. It was at that time that Aunt Han found out that Jin Manchuan had many women outside. In a fit of anger, she created an accident to completely cut off the possibility of Jin Manchuan keeping women outside."
And after that, Jin Manchuan agreed to the divorce, but she refused to leave.
Jiang Xingyao had always been curious about Han Hui's attitude, but she never expected that there was such a complicated past behind it.
With her husband frequently cheating on her, and her son, whom she carried for ten months, constantly covering for him, even claiming that all the women outside were his mothers, but he didn't treat her as his mother at all, Jiang Xingyao could probably understand why the rift between Han Hui and Jin Yanzhou was so deep.
“Jin Yanzhou is not close to Aunt Han. This habit has been formed since he was a child. Over the years, he has always maintained a close relationship with Jin Manchuan. The father and son have never cared about Aunt Han,” Jin Qingyu added.
Jiang Xingyao asked, "How do you know all this?"
She clearly remembered that Jin Qingyu didn't seem to know much about Han Hui before, so how come he suddenly knew all these gossips like the back of his hand?
Jin Qingyu said, "It was all said by that girl Yuanqiu."
Jiang Xingyao also knew that he had entrusted many things in the company to Jin Yuanqiu, and that he had been getting very close to Jin Yuanqiu recently. As for how Jin Yuanqiu knew these things, it was probably because she heard it from Jin's second aunt.
