Chapter 46 Mr. Jin's feelings for his wife: responsibility or love?
"Those are nothing serious, let's eat." Jin Qingyu avoided talking about his relationship with Jiang Yuncheng.
He said it wasn't a big deal, but to Jiang Xingyao, it was a very, very serious matter.
Jiang Xingyao kept pressing him for answers, and the more Jin Qingyu dodged the question, the more she felt there was something fishy going on.
When she first married into the Jin family, the words of those people still seemed to echo in her ears, and Jiang Xingyao's mind was in complete turmoil.
Finally, after Jiang Xingyao's persistent insistence, Jin Qingyu gave her the bank statement records that he had given to Jiang Yuncheng: "I told you it's not a big deal, don't take it too seriously."
Jiang Xingyao could no longer hear what Jin Qingyu was saying afterward.
She stared intently at the transaction records. From the first month after she married Jin Qingyu, even before they had much contact, Jin Qingyu had started transferring money to Jiang Yuncheng.
Thirty million at a time, for a whole year, more than three hundred million, almost exceeding the exorbitant bride price.
This is just the money that is transferred out regularly every month.
There are many uncertain times, and many small amounts in the millions or hundreds of thousands, but when added together, they should not be underestimated.
Jiang Xingyao was truly overwhelmed this time.
She could ask the Jin family to fulfill the marriage agreement when she was at her lowest point, because it was an agreement between her maternal grandfather and the Jin family.
But what does this mean now?
Jiang Xingyao thought of the words Jin Manchuan had said to him when they had just gotten married.
Jin Manchuan said, "Those who grow up outside are different. They can bring back a wife who's a gold digger. What, do you think the Jin family's money grows on trees?"
When Jiang Xingyao heard Jin Manchuan say those words before, she felt humiliated and wronged.
But now, she realized that Jin Manchuan was absolutely right. When the Jin family married her, they not only married a money pit, but a bottomless pit.
She glanced at Jin Qingyu again.
The man opposite me had a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "You've seen it all, let's eat first."
He casually took his phone back again, and this time Jiang Xingyao didn't stop him.
Jiang Xingyao asked, "Why did you transfer so much money to him? The Jin family doesn't owe him anything, Jin Qingyu, are you stupid?"
"Yaoyao..."
“I want to hear the truth,” Jiang Xingyao said.
She clutched her chest, trying to calm herself down.
But those huge sums of money seemed to be etched into his mind.
Now that things are peaceful at the Jin family's place, Jiang Xingyao guesses that Jin Manchuan and his son are definitely unaware that Jin Qingyu has secretly subsidized the Jiang family so much.
What about Grandpa?
Does Grandpa know?
Grandpa made Jin Qingyu marry her because of his relationship with his maternal grandfather. Jiang Yuncheng was exploiting the Jin family to bleed them dry, which was also a way of sacrificing that relationship.
Jin Qingyu looked at Jiang Xingyao and could sense that because of Jiang Yuncheng's phone call, Yaoyao's attitude towards him had softened.
But under Jiang Xingyao's gaze, Jin Qingyu remained silent for a moment.
Jiang Xingyao said again, "This is my family's business, and I have the right to know the truth. No matter what the reason is, you shouldn't hide it from me. Jin Qingyu, tell me, what reason did he give you for asking for money?"
“It’s not what he wanted,” Jin Qingyu said. “This is for my wife and mother’s medical treatment and nutrition expenses. It’s not in the Jin family’s account, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
So that means he used his private funds?
Grandpa didn't know either.
But Jiang Xingyao's mood did not improve at all.
She took a deep breath, her red lips trembling, and she was even a little unsure of what to say.
Jin Qingyu noticed her shoulders trembling noticeably and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder: "Bringing Mrs. Jin home, that's what I should do, you..."
"Should? What do you mean by 'should'? Jin Qingyu, do you really understand my family's affairs?"
"Why should you be responsible for my mother's medical expenses?" Jiang Xingyao questioned.
Jin Qingyu paid for it himself, and Jiang Xingyao didn't receive much comfort; instead, she felt uncontrollably agitated.
Seeing Jin Qingyu's somewhat surprised face, Jiang Xingyao had already guessed what was going on: "Jiang Yuncheng asked you for money to treat my mother's illness, right?"
Jin Qingyu, are you out of your mind? What kind of illness can cost 30 million a month? He's just lying to you!
"That money..."
“I don’t care,” Jin Qingyu said.
“But I do care,” Jiang Xingyao said. “You don’t actually think that being so generous is for my sake, do you? Jin Qingyu, can you stop doing these self-indulgent things?”
Do you know that every penny you give Jiang Yuncheng is like tearing my heart out?
That feeling of helplessness—being manipulated and unable to save herself—once again gripped Jiang Xingyao's heart.
She didn't understand how things had turned out this way.
The man in front of her clearly didn't care about her, and their divorce was only a matter of time, so why did he use her name to give Jiang Yuncheng and the Jiang family so much money?
Jin Qingyu remained silent, and Jiang Xingyao questioned him again: "Aren't you supposed to be very shrewd? Why were you deceived by him? Jin Qingyu, what are you thinking?"
Every single transfer record is crystal clear, dating back to the moment she married into the Jin family.
It's absolutely impossible that Jin Qingyu staged this whole thing to manipulate her; those are all undeniably true facts.
This is why Jiang Xingyao is under even greater psychological pressure.
During their marriage, Jin Qingyu would leave early and return late, sometimes not coming home for ten days or half a month. When he first transferred money to Jiang Yuncheng, the two of them barely exchanged a few words.
Jiang Xingyao thought back carefully and realized that it was only in the last two months that Jin Qingyu had become less busy, and that they had more contact.
“That’s for my mother-in-law,” Jin Qingyu replied.
Jiang Xingyao felt that he might as well not say anything.
She asked, "Have you ever met my mother?"
Jin Qingyu remained silent; he had indeed never met Jiang Xingyao's mother.
The year he returned to the Jin family, Qu Xinting was sent to a sanatorium by Jiang Yuncheng.
Jiang Xingyao knew this without him needing to answer, after all, it was during that darkest time of her life that she fell in love with Jin Qingyu.
Jiang Xingyao took another deep breath: "We've never even met, yet President Jin is willing to pay 30 million for nutrition expenses in one go. That's quite a generous gesture."
But do you know that not a single penny of that money went to my mother? Jin Qingyu, you idiot! Someone swindled hundreds of millions from you with just a few words, how could you be so stupid?!
"Yaoyao..."
Jin Qingyu looked at Jiang Xingyao, and he didn't quite understand why she was reacting so strongly.
That money was indeed given to Jiang Yuncheng by him.
But isn't Jiang Yuncheng also Yao Yao's father?
He has already married her and will not use his business for personal gain, but he feels it is normal to use his own money to support his wife's parents.
Although Jiang Yuncheng asked for a lot, he was not unable to afford it, so he naturally didn't mind.
Jin Qingyu sighed. He wanted to tell Jiang Xingyao not to worry about it, but Jiang Xingyao stood up abruptly and pointed towards the door: "Jin Qingyu, get out. I don't want to see you right now."
"Yaoyao..."
"Go out, I want to be alone. Can I talk to you later?" Jiang Xingyao said.
Jiang Xingyao was extremely annoyed. She couldn't understand how someone could be so shameless as Jiang Yuncheng, openly urging her to take the shares held by the old man, while secretly making money off Jin Qingyu behind her back.
No matter how chaotic her marriage with Jin Qingyu was, the Jin family, the Jin Corporation, owed her nothing.
She has the upper hand in matters of the heart, but what about money and interests?
With so many entanglements, how could she possibly have a proper and aboveboard discussion about divorce with Jin Qingyu?
How can she face her grandfather?
Jin Qingyu still didn't want to leave, but seeing that Jiang Xingyao was in a really bad mood, he had no choice but to stand up. Before leaving, he said, "Remember to eat."
Jiang Xingyao lowered her head, burying her face in her hands.
She thought ending a relationship was simple: if you're disappointed and no longer in love, you can just walk away.
But how did so many things get mixed up between her and Jin Qingyu?
That person clearly doesn't care about her, so why is he so indulgent towards Jiang Yuncheng?
Jiang Xingyao found his phone, and the dial pad remained on Jiang Yuncheng's number. He hesitated for a long time, but his finger couldn't bring itself to tap it.
At this moment, Jiang Yuncheng's name was already lit up on Jin Qingyu's phone screen.
Jin Qingyu leaned against the car, tilted his head slightly, glanced towards the thirteenth floor, and did not answer the call.
He frowned, as if deep in thought. After a while, he suddenly dialed Assistant Xu's number: "Transfer this month's money."
"Mr. Jin, are you going to send money to your wife's family?" Assistant Xu asked, somewhat surprised.
According to the previous schedule, it should have been a few days earlier, but this month Mr. Jin and his wife had a conflict, and Mr. Jin had not mentioned this matter again. Assistant Xu thought that he did not intend to give the Jiang family the money.
“I married her, so it’s only right that I take care of her family,” Jin Qingyu said.
Even over the phone, Assistant Xu could tell that his voice was flat and lacked inflection, which was probably what he was thinking.
Assistant Xu thought President Jin was really strange.
He can be completely indifferent to his wife, yet he can send money to her family without batting an eye.
He still remembered when President Jin and his wife had just gotten married. At that time, President Jin's position in the Jin Corporation was not yet stable, and the company's performance was not very good. When the Jiang family called, even he, who was listening nearby, thought it was an outrageous demand, but President Jin agreed without hesitation.
In the past few months, he worked overtime almost day and night with General Manager Jin, keeping himself busy every day, and the company's profits were booming.
But he knew that Mr. Jin didn't have much money on hand at that time, since he was transferring money to the Jiang family on behalf of Mr. Jin.
The more Assistant Xu thought about it, the less he could understand what their CEO, Mr. Jin, was after.
He couldn't even tell whether President Jin cared about his wife or not.
Before hanging up the phone, Assistant Xu asked, almost as if possessed, "Mr. Jin, is your wife still unwilling to come home?"
Jin Qingyu looked slightly unwell and looked up at the window on the thirteenth floor again. He said, "I will bring her back."
Assistant Xu, sensing the situation, refrained from responding. Jin Qingyu irritably tugged at his collar, suddenly recalling something Jiang Xingyao had said: "Help me investigate what's going on with Madam's mother."
