Chapter 43 Who exactly stole his girlfriend?
In the coffee shop, Qin Jiangnan had someone bring Jiang Xingyao a cup of hot milk: "Take this to calm your nerves first."
"Thank you for today." Jiang Xingyao held the cup, the warmth spreading to her palms, which brought some vitality to her seemingly frozen blood.
The first thing Qin Jiangnan noticed was her pale lips. He felt a little awkward and said, "Why are you being so polite? I've helped you more than once or twice. How can you possibly thank me enough?"
Jiang Xingyao lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
She seems to be in a mess lately, always owing favors to others.
"Alright, you don't need to look so down. Anyone who doesn't know better would think I'm bullying you. Jiang Xingyao, aren't you supposed to be so powerful? How come you're being bullied like this?" Qin Jiangnan said.
His voice was stiff and awkward.
His gaze, seemingly unintentionally, fell on Jiang Xingyao's face again and again.
His encounter with Jiang Xingyao this time was entirely accidental.
His home was in the Wangshan Manor area, and for a period of time when he was a child, he and Jiang Xingyao were actually playmates.
It's just that the relationship has never been very good.
He never expected to run into Jiang Xingyao again on his way home, and even stopped the car and brought her out as if by some strange twist of fate.
Qin Jiangnan's question seemed casual.
Jiang Xingyao knew that the young master spoke without thinking and meant no harm, but she still couldn't help but think of everything at Wangshan Manor.
Her emotions, which had just calmed down a little, began to crumble again, and even her shoulders were trembling slightly.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Qin Jiangnan was startled and hurriedly grabbed a tissue and handed it to her: "Oh my, Miss, why are you crying? I admit I misspoke, okay? If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Don't cry."
Qin Jiangnan rarely interacted with women, believing them to be troublesome creatures, with Jiang Cancan and Ji Yunyin being the only exceptions.
Jiang Cancan was brought into their circle by Jin Qingyu.
He has to give him some face.
As for Ji Yunyin, she was simply not like a woman, and he didn't treat her as one either.
And Jiang Xingyao, who is standing in front of him now, is probably the first person he has taken the initiative to approach.
Previously, it could be said that it was Ji Yunyin's request, but from the moment he took the initiative to stop the car today, Qin Jiangnan knew that Jiang Xingyao was different from others here.
Qin Jiangnan really wasn't good at coaxing people. Jiang Xingyao ignored him, so he just kept babbling on and on, saying things that had no connection to each other. In short, he just kept talking non-stop.
His disordered and hurried voice miraculously disrupted Jiang Xingyao's emotions, making her less upset.
Jiang Xingyao wiped away her tears, trying her best to look less disheveled: "I'm sorry, you must have found this embarrassing."
"Why are you always so polite? What's with all this talk about whether it's funny or not? I've never cared about that."
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to take you to get something to eat?" Qin Jiangnan replied haphazardly.
He himself didn't know what he was saying or doing, or why he was meddling in other people's business.
After thinking about it, he finally blamed Ji Yunyin. He and Ji Yunyin were friends, and it didn't seem unreasonable for him to help a friend of a friend.
“I want to go home,” Jiang Xingyao said.
From the moment she left Wangshan Manor, Jiang Xingyao felt as if all her strength had been drained.
If Qin Jiangnan hadn't been driving so fast that she felt nauseous from the bumpy ride, she wouldn't have come to the coffee shop with him.
Qin Jiangnan didn't say much and took Jiang Xingyao back to her current apartment.
Before leaving, he unusually showed some concern and said, "Jiang Xingyao, we've known each other since we were little, so you don't need to be so polite with me. If it's inconvenient for you to go to the hospital, you can call me."
Jiang Xingyao knew what he meant; he was talking about pregnancy tests.
He used his last bit of strength to thank the person.
After returning to her room, Jiang Xingyao collapsed onto the bed.
In a silent room, a multitude of thoughts can always arise.
Jiang Xingyao clutched her chest, curled up on the bed, unable to suppress the throbbing pain in her heart.
Those scenes that made her heart ache were like roots planted in her mind, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't erase them.
Jiang Xingyao buried her head in the pillow.
Her eyes were dry from crying, and she couldn't shed any more tears, but she still couldn't forget that scene.
The phone rang incessantly all afternoon, but Jiang Xingyao ignored it.
To be precise, she dared not interfere.
She's like a frightened bird now; the slightest disturbance can make her tremble with fear.
That afternoon, Jiang Xingyao asked herself again and again why she liked Jin Qingyu.
If only she had never liked Jin Qingyu.
Jiang Xingyao didn't know how she fell asleep; she was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
This day had drained her of so much energy, it felt like it had completely drained her strength. Even though she was starving, Jiang Xingyao didn't really want to move.
But the intermittent cramping pain in her lower abdomen made it impossible for her to ignore it.
She has a baby, and she can't neglect her baby because of her own emotions.
Jiang Xingyao tried her best to adjust her emotions.
She struggled to her feet.
The knocking continued. Jiang Xingyao knew who was outside, but she had no intention of opening the door. She went straight into the kitchen and cooked a simple bowl of noodles.
When I came out, I heard some noise at the door. It seemed that Jin Qingyu had made too much noise and was arguing with the neighbors.
I don't know how much time passed, but the surroundings finally became quiet again.
It was already very late when Jiang Xingyao put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.
His gaze inadvertently drifted downstairs, and he saw the familiar Bentley parked there.
It's Jin Qingyu; he hasn't left yet.
Jiang Xingyao glanced at it once and then looked away.
Having gone through so much, Jin Qingyu is no longer the person she longs for in her heart.
She would never feel joy because of his appearance again; she wished he would never appear in front of her again in this lifetime.
Contact with Jin Qingyu is too mentally exhausting; she only has one life, and she can't afford to waste it.
With the car window half-open, Jin Qingyu held a half-smoked cigarette in his hand, his gaze fixed on the faint light on the thirteenth floor.
Those are distant windows.
Yao Yao came back. She had been home the whole time, but no matter how much he knocked on the door all afternoon, she didn't open it.
The phone screen swiped open in the night, emitting a faint glow. Jin Qingyu stared intently at the dial pad on the phone. Thirty-five calls, and she hadn't answered a single one all afternoon.
He knew very well that, although nothing he did today was his intention, he had still hurt Yao Yao again, and it seemed that he had hurt her even more badly than last time.
As the cigarette burned out, Jin Qingyu remained in a daze until it finally went out on its own. Suddenly, his phone rang.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he looked down at the name of Assistant Xu flashing above. The secret joy vanished instantly.
It's not Yaoyao.
He hasn't managed to appease Yao Yao yet, so she won't call him on her own initiative anymore.
Jin Qingyu pressed the answer button with some frustration.
Assistant Xu's voice came through quickly, tinged with a hint of unease: "Mr. Jin, there's news about the car you asked me to investigate, but..."
"Just what?"
"But in the entire capital, only Young Master Qin owns that model of car." Assistant Xu said all at once, feeling quite absurd.
What Mr. Jin wants to investigate is the person who took his wife away.
But Qin Shao and President Jin are clearly as close as brothers, so how could he be under President Jin's nose...?
"Mr. Jin, could you be mistaken? Sports cars come in many similar models, and besides..."
Before Assistant Xu could finish speaking, Jin Qingyu hung up the phone, his eyes filled with a deep melancholy.
Qin Jiangnan!
He had long felt that Qin Jiangnan had been acting strangely lately.
Could it be that the person who took Yao Yao away last time was also Qin Jiangnan?
No wonder…
No wonder he searched all the hospitals but couldn't find any trace of her.
He didn't even suspect Shen Mingsu, but he didn't doubt that the person with his wife was his best brother.
Jin Qingyu's chest heaved, and he lit another cigarette, but he still couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.
The lights on the thirteenth floor went out. Jin Qingyu took one last deep look at that window, stubbed out his cigarette, and drove straight to the Qin family's house.
Unlike Jiang Xingyao's door, which was always impossible to open, Qin Jiangnan opened the door very quickly.
The two had barely exchanged glances when Jin Qingyu's fist came flying towards Qin Jiangnan's face. Qin Jiangnan blocked it with his arm, looking completely bewildered: "Brother Qingyu, what did I do to you? Why did you come to my house and start hitting me without saying a word?"
The sports car that had sped away from Wangshan Manor was now parked in the courtyard. Jin Qingyu only glanced at it before he couldn't suppress his anger.
He glared at Qin Jiangnan: "Qin Jiangnan, I consider you a brother, what are you doing? Driving around my doorstep trying to steal my boyfriend?"
When he said the last sentence, Jin Qingyu almost laughed out of anger.
Among them, Qin Jiangnan was the most single-minded and had no cunning or scheming.
Yet this very person was coveting his wife right under his nose, and he hadn't even noticed!
"I don't understand what you're saying." Qin Jiangnan merely lifted his eyelids, denying it without changing his expression. "When did I go to your house?"
"Stop pretending. Wangshan Manor, you're the one who took Yaoyao away, right? You were driving this car." Jin Qingyu said coldly, directly pointing it out.
"I think you've really gone mad lately. Why would I bring Jiang Xingyao along?"
"Qin Jiangnan, are you still pretending? Wasn't it you who took Yaoyao away last time, and was it you who hid Yaoyao?"
You've been watching me go everywhere without finding me, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?
"I treat you like a brother, do you think I'm stupid?" Jin Qingyu questioned again.
He used to think that Qin Jiangnan was the most loyal one, but now he just felt that he had been blind back then.
He thought of Qin Jiangnan's girlfriend again, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
