Chapter 324 Your son is not good enough for her.
Madam Shen said, "Ah Su, she is, after all, your wife. If you don't want to be with her, who else would you want to be with?"
Can you please think carefully about what I'm about to say?
Our Shen family is already in this state; if we don't sever ties with the Gu family soon, we're completely finished.
Can you listen to your mother's advice and try to coax her?
Once you two have a child, even for the sake of the child, she definitely won't want to drag the Shen family down with her.
"If you two get a divorce, wouldn't our Shen family be saved?"
Madam Shen's earnest words sounded absurd to Shen Mingsu.
He asked, "Mom, this is the brilliant idea you came up with? What do you take me for? A gigolo?"
"What duck? Don't put it so harshly. You and she are legally married. This is the only way we can do it. Asu, just think of it as a way for the Shen family, okay?" Madam Shen coaxed.
Shen Ming said, "Now that I know it's a last resort, I'd like to ask, who was it that insisted I marry this woman in the first place?"
The thought of Gu Zhiyuan made him feel nauseous, and he didn't even want to call her by her name.
Madam Shen said, "Your father was just confused for a moment and didn't know how to judge people. Ah Su, things have already come to this point, so don't hold it against your father. Let's deal with the immediate problem first, okay?"
"Don't even think about it, I won't touch that woman," Shen Ming said.
Madam Shen's temper flared up after Shen Mingsu's repeated rejections. She yelled, "Shen Mingsu, what exactly do you want? You're not still thinking about that Jiang woman, are you? Has she contacted you again?"
"You're overthinking it, Mom." Shen Mingsu suddenly laughed, his voice tinged with bitterness. He looked at Madam Shen, "Now it's your son who's not good enough for her, understand?"
Madam Shen had never seen Shen Mingsu with such a desperate expression. Many malicious words were stuck in her throat, making it almost impossible for her to say them.
Seeing that Shen Mingsu was about to leave, Madam Shen hurriedly stopped him again: "Asu, you can't leave. You have to come with me to see your father first. I beg you, you are your parents' only son. You can't just leave our Shen family to fend for themselves."
Madam Shen wept bitterly. Seeing her like this, Shen Mingsu's determination to leave finally wavered a little.
He couldn't bear to watch Madam Shen's tears, so he finally relented and went to the ward with her.
He kept turning back to look at the closed elevator door.
He hoped that the next time this door opened, he could see Jiang Xingyao again, while he was still relatively innocent.
otherwise…
Jiang Xingyao was unaware of what had happened to Shen Mingsu. All she knew was that after Shen Hanzhi and his wife sold the Shen family's shares, they returned to Hong Kong with Shen Ying.
They've probably come to their senses and are no longer fixated on everything related to the Shen family. It's said they're going to start a new business in the port city.
When Shen Ying saw that Shen Hanzhi was willing to sell his shares to protect her, she forgave Shen Hanzhi.
As for what Shen Mingsu said later, Jiang Xingyao didn't ask, nor did she want to know.
Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu ate a simple meal, then packed some food for Aunt Jin and the others to take back to the hospital.
When they returned, the old man had already woken up and, as expected, called Jin Yuanqiu in to talk.
Aunt Jin paced back and forth in the corridor, looking completely lost.
Han Hui sat on a public bench in the corridor with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"Second Aunt, don't worry, Qiuqiu will have a good talk with Grandpa. Come and have something to eat first." Jiang Xingyao called out to Second Aunt Jin, then served herself a bowl of porridge and handed it to Han Hui, who did not refuse.
About half an hour later, Jin Yuanqiu finally came out of the old man's ward. Jiang Xingyao could tell that she seemed to be in a much better mood than before she came, probably because she had talked things out with the old man.
The group then went to the ward to check on the old man's condition.
Han Hui, who was always silent, was the first to speak this time: "Dad, I'm planning to divorce Jin Manchuan."
It's worth noting that even when Han Hui and Jin Manchuan were at their worst, they never mentioned divorce. Now that she's suddenly brought it up, it's like a stone thrown into a still pond, causing a huge uproar and leaving everyone looking shocked.
The old man looked at Han Hui with surprise, but soon a sense of relief appeared on his face: "If you want a divorce, then go ahead and get one. I will have the lawyer draft a plan for you regarding the division of your assets. You can also make your own requests."
Over the years, the old man had known all along that Han Hui and Jin Manchuan were mutually disgusted. She had endured her disgust to stay in the Jin family just to seek benefits for her Han family.
Over the years, the old man had known that Jin Manchuan had wronged Han Hui, but he had long turned a blind eye to it. Moreover, the fact that Han Hui and Jin Manchuan did not divorce was not entirely a bad thing for the Jin family; at least in front of outsiders, they were a harmonious family.
If it were in the past, the old man might have tried to persuade Han Hui to stay, but now that so many things have happened, he no longer has the energy for that.
Especially Jin Yuanqiu, who sent Jin Manchuan back to prison once again. This is too disgraceful. If it gets out of hand, it won't do their Jin family any good. It would be better to just let Han Hui go.
Han Hui nodded without any hesitation: "Okay, then I'll think about it carefully these next few days and write a list for Dad to see."
She didn't even say a polite word before leaving the ward.
The old man had no feelings for his eldest daughter-in-law either, and simply let her go.
On the contrary, Aunt Jin was still too shocked to contain herself: "Dad, my sister-in-law..."
"Since she wants to leave, let her go. If any of you want to leave in the future, just tell me, and I promise I won't make things difficult for you," the old man said.
With the family in such a state of turmoil, some members leaving and others scattering, the old man himself no longer has the energy to manage things.
He had already figured it out while chatting with Jin Yuanqiu earlier; it's best to let things take their natural course.
"I know I didn't handle things well before and wronged you. If you also want to leave..."
“I’m not leaving, Dad. Qiuqiu and I will stay and keep you company,” Aunt Jin interrupted the old man.
The moment she learned the truth, she felt a great sense of dissatisfaction. But upon reflection, she realized that she had lived in this family for over twenty years and had long regarded the old man as her father.
Many years have passed since those events, and besides, Qiuqiu is a member of the Jin family, so Aunt Jin naturally couldn't bear to leave her.
The old man was discharged from the hospital after resting for two days. He had already prepared all the things he had promised Han Hui. Before she left the Jin family, the old man invited her to have a meal with him.
Knowing that she was about to leave, Jiang Xingyao could clearly sense that Han Hui's attitude towards everyone was no longer as harsh as before.
That afternoon, Han Hui was picked up by the Han family's car.
After he left, the old man called Jin Qingyu to his study. He sighed and said, "So many things have happened, I don't want to care about them anymore. Ayu, I've agreed to what you mentioned before, but before that, you have to properly train Yuanqiu for me. There are only the two of you left in the Jin family, and I need a qualified successor."
Jin Qingyu said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, Yuanqiu is capable of handling things on her own now. I won't completely abandon her. If you need me, I can come back anytime."
The old man looked at Jin Qingyu, his gaze growing increasingly solemn. In the end, he only asked, "Let's stay until after the New Year. It's been so many years since we, grandfather and grandson, have had a proper New Year together. And with all the things that have happened recently, we should make sure to have a proper New Year this year."
"I'll do whatever Grandpa says," Jin Qingyu said.
As he left the study, the old man's face was still full of helplessness. In fact, Jin Qingyu had always been his most favored heir, but his grandson had somehow become obsessed with love. The day he came back, he said that he couldn't let Yaoyao be trapped in Xiyuan because of him, and that he would give up everything in the Jin family to accompany Yaoyao to travel the world.
Instead of being a proper heir, he insisted on becoming Yao Yao's assistant.
The old man had tried to stop Jin Qingyu from doing this many times, but it hadn't shaken Jin's resolve. Now, seeing his once happy family almost fall apart, he had come to terms with it and didn't want to stop it anymore.
"What did Grandpa say to you just now?" Jiang Xingyao asked on the way back to Xiyuan.
Jin Qingyu said, "Isn't the New Year coming soon? He wanted us to stay at the old house to celebrate the New Year together. So many things have happened at home, and I felt sorry for Grandpa, so I agreed. Yaoyao, you won't blame me, will you?"
“It’s only right that you stay and keep Grandpa company. Why should I blame you? I’ll tell my mom in advance that I won’t be going back to Hong Kong this year,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Having gone through so much, she actually had feelings for Mr. Jin.
As the old man gets older, there are fewer and fewer people in the family. This year, she has nothing else to do, so it's only right that she stays to keep her grandfather company.
Jin Qingyu said, "Yaoyao, you're so kind. I've prepared a surprise for you. I'll give it to you during the New Year."
Jiang Xingyao said, "Don't talk about being surprised yet. I advise you to think carefully about how you're going to explain this to my brother after the New Year."
After Jin Yanzhou was arrested, the tycoon who had been working with him was also exposed. Zhou Huaiyan has been busy cleaning up the mess left by the tycoon and has no free time to spare.
Otherwise, he would have come to the capital after hearing the news that Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu had reconciled.
Jiang Xingyao's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured on him. Jin Qingyu was slightly taken aback before saying, "Don't worry, Yaoyao, I've already figured out how to satisfy Big Brother. I guarantee he'll agree to our relationship."
"Are you that confident?" Jiang Xingyao asked suspiciously.
Jin Qingyu deliberately kept it a secret: "Let me keep it a secret for now. You'll know how surprised you are when you see me."
Jiang Xingyao said, "Fine, I'd like to see how you get rid of my older brother. Anyway, I definitely won't plead for you."
