Chapter 52 He sincerely wanted to be with Yao Yao.
When Jiang Xingyao came out after taking a shower, the person who hugged her and said they wanted to start over was no longer at Xiyuan.
According to Lin's mother, he rushed out after receiving a phone call.
Such scenes were not uncommon; he always went to see Jiang Cancan.
Jiang Xingyao hadn't taken his words seriously at first, and now that she knew he was leaving, she didn't feel much.
After tidying up the things on the table, she went straight back to her bedroom.
In the dimly lit bar, the lights flickered incessantly.
After being led in, Jin Qingyu immediately saw Jiang Cancan sitting in the corner. She had her head down and looked like she was crying. He Qifeng was standing next to her, handing her a tissue with concern.
Qin Jiangnan was also there, having probably just arrived. He was currently clutching his helmet and haphazardly ruffling his hair, muttering, "I have an important event today, Brother Qifeng, why did you call me here in such a hurry?"
He Qifeng said, "I have to go home quickly. You stay here and keep Jiang Cancan company."
He has a curfew, and he's already been delayed for a while. His father has made two phone calls, and if he doesn't go back soon, things might get messy.
"What's going on? Everyone wants me to spend time with women. Do you think I'm good at sweet-talking people?"
Qin Jiangnan was forcibly called back. He muttered impatiently in a very soft voice, which He Qifeng didn't hear clearly. He asked, "Anan, what did you just say?"
Qin Jiangnan quickly regained his composure: "It's nothing, what's wrong with Sister Cancan?"
"It's that Jiang Xingyao again. I don't know what's wrong with her. She even sued her own father. That Jiang guy took his anger out on Jiang Cancan and even forced her to pay off 400 million yuan for him," He Qifeng said.
"Sue? Isn't there some misunderstanding? Jiang Xingyao, she..."
"What misunderstanding could there be? We all know what kind of person Jiang Xingyao is, don't we? She loves to bully Jiang Cancan the most."
"Anan, it's been a few days, what's wrong with you? Do you still want to speak up for Jiang Xingyao?" He Qifeng asked.
These few people had often gathered together to speak ill of Jiang Xingyao in order to protect Jiang Cancan.
He once shared He Qifeng's attitude, finding Jiang Xingyao unreasonable.
But now, when Qin Jiangnan heard He Qifeng's words again, he didn't think of Jiang Xingyao first, but rather that He Qifeng's words were really grating.
Qin Jiangnan said, "I'm not speaking for anyone, and Jiang Xingyao isn't as bad as you say. Brother Qifeng, I think..."
Qin Jiangnan wanted to say that He Qifeng should get to know Jiang Xingyao better. Although that woman was arrogant, she wasn't as bad as they imagined. She just didn't like to argue with people.
Before he could finish speaking, He Qifeng hurriedly said, "I don't have time. You stay here with Jiang Cancan. I've already called Qingyu, and he should be here soon."
"You called me here just for this?" Jin Qingyu stood in front of He Qifeng, his annoyance almost overflowing.
He had just listened to Yao Yao's music and told her he wanted to start over. Yao Yao had clearly softened her attitude and hadn't locked him out of the master bedroom anymore.
He Qifeng told him that there was an extremely urgent matter at the bar that he couldn't handle, and begged him to come and show up, so he came.
"Qingyu, you're here. Jiang Cancan isn't doing well, you should go and check on her right away," He Qifeng said.
He didn't notice that Jin Qingyu's expression was a little off, and he was still wondering to himself.
In the afternoon, I said I wouldn't care about Jiang Cancan, which was obviously because of that troublesome Jiang Xingyao.
Now they come as soon as you call them, don't they?
Fearing that Jin Qingyu hadn't heard, He Qifeng repeated, "Jiang Xingyao sued her father, and that Jiang guy is busy pressuring Jiang Cancan. You should also fire him; Jiang Cancan is having a tough time right now."
She's so desperate that she's come to work for me. You know, this isn't a place for her to stay.
As He Qifeng explained, Jiang Cancan, who had been covering her face and crying, also raised her head. Her eyes were red as she looked at Jin Qingyu and called out pitifully, "Brother Qingyu..."
"This has nothing to do with me. Don't come to me with this kind of thing again. Yaoyao will be angry if she finds out," Jin Qingyu said. He glanced at Jiang Cancan and then looked at He Qifeng. "Also, I'm the one who reported Jiang Yuncheng. He committed fraud in Yaoyao's name. I'm not wrong to sue him, am I?"
He Qifeng was speechless for a moment after being cornered by Jin Qingyu.
Jiang Cancan, with red eyes, ran straight towards Jin Qingyu and grabbed his arm, saying, "Brother Qingyu, President Jin, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have run to my sister that day."
You've already fired me, so isn't this matter settled yet?
Please, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please help me this time, okay? Please drop the lawsuit, okay?
"Brother Qingyu, I'm truly at my wit's end. I'll kneel down and beg you."
She looked utterly helpless, and grabbed Jin Qingyu's arm, about to kneel down.
Seeing this, He Qifeng was no longer in a hurry to leave and quickly grabbed her arm: "What are you doing? You meant well in that matter. If anyone should be blamed, it should be Jiang Xingyao for being petty. Why are you taking all the blame on yourself?"
"Qingyu, look at Jiang Cancan, she's in this state. Are you really going to pressure her together with Jiang Xingyao?"
Jin Qingyu ignored the topic and gave He Qifeng a cold look: "Don't come to me with this kind of thing again. I don't want to upset my wife."
"What do you mean? You really don't care about Jiang Cancan anymore? Your wife, your wife, what kind of spell did that Jiang Xingyao cast on you!" He Qifeng questioned with some dissatisfaction.
Jin Qingyu ignored him and left the bar without lingering.
He Qifeng was still there, complaining, "What's going on? I've never seen him care about Jiang Xingyao much before, why is he being so impulsive today?"
After a long silence, Qin Jiangnan said, "Brother Qifeng, don't you think this is your problem?"
"Qingyu is a married man, after all. You're calling him and telling him to abandon his wife and come to be with another woman. Do you think that's appropriate?"
“What’s inappropriate about it? Wasn’t it always like this? Anyway, he doesn’t like Jiang Xingyao. Staying with Jiang Cancan is better than staying with that other woman,” He Qifeng said.
Qin Jiangnan frowned as he listened.
He couldn't even understand how He Qifeng could say such things without changing his expression, and he couldn't understand why he himself had thought the same way in the past.
He Qifeng then said, "I'm really leaving. You can keep Jiang Cancan company tonight."
Qin Jiangnan said, "I have other things to do and don't have time. Since Brother Qifeng cares so much, it's no big deal to break the curfew for Sister Cancan."
The most fundamental issue is still repaying the money. Why don't you help Sister Cancan repay that four hundred million again? That way, Brother Qingyu will drop the lawsuit, and Sister Cancan won't have to come to the bar anymore.
Qin Jiangnan's words struck a chord with He Qifeng.
Jiang Xingyao had said something similar in Jin Qingyu's office, but Qin Jiangnan's words now seemed even more hurtful.
Qin Jiangnan didn't wait for He Qifeng's reply and just swaggered away.
He Qifeng's chest heaved with anger: "What's wrong with all of them? Have they all been brainwashed by that Jiang Xingyao?"
Jiang Cancan lowered her head, and where He Qifeng couldn't see, her face was extremely gloomy.
Jin Qingyu's outburst at her now has a reason, but what about Qin Jiangnan?
She remembered that she had never offended Qin Jiangnan, right?
"Are you alright?" He Qifeng asked Jiang Cancan with some concern.
Unable to achieve her goal, Jiang Cancan was in a bad mood, but she still patiently said, "Brother Qifeng, I'm fine, I..."
"It's alright, I'm really in a hurry, I'm really leaving now, you should go home early too." He Qifeng's phone rang again. He glanced at the time, hurriedly told Jiang Cancan, and ran off.
Jiang Cancan stood there, her usually gentle and fragile face now filled with resentment and anger.
She stood quietly, out of place in the atmosphere of the bar. After a while, as if she had thought of something, she pursed her lips, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
When Jin Qingyu returned to Xiyuan, Jiang Xingyao was already asleep. A bedside lamp was on in the room, and the dim light shone on the woman's sleeping face, making her cold and beautiful face look much softer.
As she slept, she no longer carried the aloofness that kept people at arm's length, nor did she possess that unapproachable nobility. She looked like any ordinary woman, any ordinary wife.
Jin Qingyu leaned down and gently kissed Jiang Xingyao's lips before heading straight to the bathroom.
As the sound of rushing water filled the air, Jiang Xingyao gently opened her eyes.
She thought he wouldn't be coming back tonight.
Just like countless nights when Jiang Cancan called me away.
I didn't expect him to not only come back, but to come back so quickly.
The air was filled with a faint scent of freesia.
Jiang Xingyao wasn't surprised at all about who he went to see.
She didn't close her eyes again, waiting for Jin Qingyu to return: "You agreed to her withdraw the lawsuit?"
The man's hand, which was drying his hair, froze for a moment. He looked at Jiang Xingyao in surprise, and Jiang Xingyao was also looking at him. The dim light gave people a golden edge, and the air seemed to become warm and cozy because of this layer of dark gold.
But when the couple looked at each other, they both felt a chill.
Jin Qingyu felt a sense of guilt at being seen through, which sent a chill down her spine, while Jiang Xingyao felt a chill in her heart.
These past few days, this has been the only thing Jiang Cancan could ask him for. Since he's already gone to meet the person, there's no reason for him not to help Jiang Cancan.
Jin Qingyu lifted his foot and walked to Jiang Xingyao's side. The woman's disappointed expression made his heart ache a little. He wanted to pull her into his arms and talk to her slowly.
Before his hand could even touch Jiang Xingyao's shoulder, it was pushed away. Jiang Xingyao said coldly, "Don't touch me with her scent. It's dirty."
Jin Qingyu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He had just taken a shower, and his body still smelled faintly of shower gel. He knew that Jiang Xingyao was unhappy and was deliberately trying to provoke him, but he still didn't reach out his hand again. He said, "I haven't withdrawn the lawsuit, Yaoyao. I won't do it unless you give the word."
Jiang Xingyao's pupils twitched slightly; she even wondered if she had misheard.
Jin Qingyu moved closer, put his arm around her waist, and said again, "Yaoyao, when I said we should start over, I meant it sincerely."
