Chapter 57 It's Time to Let Her Air Out
“I know that Mr. Jin has helped me a lot over the years. You are now my sister’s person, so I really shouldn’t take advantage of you.”
But if I hadn't been truly desperate, why would I have come to you for help? Mr. Jin, you know I, Jiang Cancan, also have my pride.
My sister humiliated me like that at the club today, I…”
After waiting a long time for Jin Qingyu's reply, Jiang Cancan walked up to him and looked at him with her eyes red from crying.
She stood right at the door of the hotel room, blocking Jin Qingyu's way.
"I have already apologized on her behalf for what Yaoyao did to you, and you accepted the ten million. The matter of the club should be wiped clean."
Jiang Cancan, don't use this to blackmail me.
"As for the four hundred million you mentioned, that's a matter between Yao Yao and Jiang Yuncheng. I won't make that decision for her," Jin Qingyu said.
Although Jiang Xingyao went too far, she was his wife, the person he had chosen, and he had an obligation to cover for her.
As for anything else, that's a matter between him and Jiang Xingyao, and he wouldn't gossip about his wife with others.
Jiang Cancan's eyes widened slightly, as if she hadn't expected Jin Qingyu to be so cold to Jiang Xingyao at the club, yet to be so protective of her in private.
She said, "But Dad has already put the debt on me. Mr. Jin, you said you would protect me. Don't those words count anymore?"
I've already swallowed my pride and begged you, Mr. Jin…”
“You said it yourself, that debt was placed on you by your father, it’s your family matter, I have no right to interfere, get out of my way,” Jin Qingyu said.
Jiang Cancan shifted her feet somewhat blankly. She watched as Jin Qingyu opened the door, and just as the door was about to block her view, she suddenly said, "Wait, Mr. Jin."
"Is there anything else?" Jin Qingyu asked.
Jiang Cancan ran back to her room and rummaged through her bag: "You drank too much yesterday and left your phone behind."
With a bang, the door finally closed, and Jiang Cancan could still hear Jin Qingyu's voice thanking her.
She leaned against the door, her pupils dark, her phone screen lit up, playing a video on a loop.
That was the music room in Xiyuan. Jiang Xingyao, wearing loose pajamas, stood up straight, looking as noble as a princess.
The melodious sound of a piano echoed in my ears again and again.
Jiang Cancan's face grew increasingly grim. Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Xingyao on the screen, her intense jealousy almost overflowing.
She found the video on Jin Qingyu's phone last night.
The meaning of a man whose phone is full of work-related messages suddenly having a video of a woman in his photo album is self-evident.
Perhaps even he himself didn't know that he already had feelings for Jiang Xingyao.
But that won't do.
They clearly climbed up from the bottom together, they're both illegitimate children who can't be brought into the light of day. Now that Jin Qingyu has gained power, he wants to get rid of her.
How is that possible?
Since he acted unjustly first, then we shouldn't blame her.
Jin Qingyu was someone she brought into this circle. If he didn't want to bring her into the limelight, then she had no choice but to ruin his current glamour.
With a cold expression, Jiang Cancan finally ended the video call and dialed a phone number…
As Jin Qingyu stepped out of the hotel, he looked down and first caught the scent of freesia that had accidentally clung to his body.
He thought of Jiang Xingyao's resistance.
He cleaned up a bit before driving back to Xiyuan.
In the large courtyard, he first encountered Assistant Xu, who was about to leave.
Seeing Jin Qingyu return, Assistant Xu seemed to breathe a heavy sigh of relief. He quickly came forward to greet him: "Mr. Jin, you're finally back. Madam, she..."
"She's back?" Jin Qingyu asked.
Actually, the answer was already clear when he saw Assistant Xu appear here, but Jin Qingyu still asked a question.
"You're back. Madam stood outside the Jiang family's house for a while today. I was worried..." Assistant Xu wanted to briefly explain the situation to Jin Qingyu, but Jin Qingyu waved his hand to interrupt him and signaled him to leave.
Assistant Xu didn't say anything more, but before leaving, he reminded her, "I sent your wife's condition today to your phone, please remember to check it."
Jin Qingyu didn't go inside immediately; he lit a cigarette in the yard first.
The firelight flickered, and Assistant Xu's words echoed in my ears.
He actually knew why Jiang Xingyao went to the Jiang family and why she returned to Xiyuan.
Or perhaps, he knew from the moment he was at the club that Jiang Xingyao would definitely come back.
After all, she wouldn't just leave her mother to fend for herself.
And everything that happened today is nothing serious, just a misunderstanding.
She's already vented her anger and bullied Jiang Cancan; there's no reason for her to just leave.
Jin Qingyu didn't go inside even after the cigarette had burned down to the end.
He clutched his phone, wanting to see what Assistant Xu had sent him, but the phone had long since run out of battery and shut down.
He didn't take it too seriously.
She was just a little conflicted, wondering how she would face Jiang Xingyao later.
Women shouldn't be spoiled forever.
He must have been too good to Jiang Xingyao during this time, which emboldened her and made her bully people at the club.
He helped her suppress it this time, but what about in the future? He can't keep apologizing and covering for her every time.
Mrs. Jin's status is not a reason for her to bully innocent people.
When Jin Qingyu entered the house, it was already ten minutes later. Jiang Xingyao was nowhere to be seen in the living room; only Lin Ma was still making noise in the kitchen.
Jin Qingyu gave the order directly: "Move my things to the study. I've been sleeping in the study lately."
When Lin's mother heard his request, she was stunned for a long time and didn't react.
Previously, the wife wouldn't allow the husband to enter the master bedroom, but the husband pestered the wife for several days before he finally moved back in.
They've only been there for a few days, and they're already moving out again?
Lin Ma asked, "Is the master tired of his wife again?"
She knew perfectly well that she shouldn't talk too much in her employer's house, but this man had changed his mind too quickly. Just two days ago, he had gone to great lengths to pursue his wife and even transferred her to his wife's apartment to cook.
They recovered it in less than a week, and now they're abandoning it again?
Where can you find people being played like this?
Jin Qingyu could also tell that Lin Ma's tone was not good. He said indifferently, "She's too willful. She should be left alone for a couple of days. Let's move my things out."
Lin's mother twitched the corners of her mouth, but said nothing and went upstairs to pack her things.
Jin Qingyu sat in the living room, glancing up at the master bedroom upstairs every now and then. The door was open, and he couldn't see Jiang Xingyao. He could only vaguely see Lin Ma packing things.
With such a grand entrance, she must know I'm back. The fact that she hasn't reacted at all means she's just waiting for me to coax her.
It's because I've been pampering her too much these past few days that she's become even more willful.
He needs to give Jiang Xingyao two days to calm down.
Jiang Xingyao upstairs naturally had no idea what Jin Qingyu was thinking.
When Lin Ma came in, she was carrying a first-aid kit and carefully cleaning the wound on her foot.
Summer is hot, making it easy to get infected.
She certainly wouldn't ignore her wounds just because she was angry with Jin Qingyu.
However, since the injury was on her ankle, Jiang Xingyao was hesitant to bend over too much, fearing that she might put pressure on her lower abdomen, making treatment somewhat difficult.
As soon as Lin's mother came in, she saw this scene.
She said, "Madam, let me help you."
Jiang Xingyao didn't refuse; she casually asked, "Why did you come up here?"
She has mostly calmed down now, and apart from her voice still being slightly hoarse, there are no other unusual symptoms.
Lin's mother didn't say a word.
To be precise, she didn't know how to relay her husband's words to her wife.
Especially when she saw Jiang Xingyao's aloof face, no matter how hard Lin Ma racked her brains, she couldn't figure out why her wife was being willful.
"Is it him who's back?" Seeing Lin's mother's hesitation, Jiang Xingyao had a guess in her heart.
During this period, she and Jin Qingyu had some unpleasantness, and Lin's mother was caught in the middle, which was indeed not a good position for her.
"My husband told me to move all his things to the study." Since his wife would eventually know about the packing, Lin Ma didn't try to hide it from her.
Jiang Xingyao was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised. She muttered to herself, "It's really strange that they didn't say they would kick me out."
Lin Ma naturally couldn't respond to such a question, but since she had already treated Jiang Xingyao's wound, she simply told Jiang Xingyao to keep the wound dry and changed the subject.
Lin Ma quickly packed Jin Qingyu's things. As she was leaving, she asked, "Madam, do you need me to bring you dinner later? I mean, you're injured and it's inconvenient for you to walk."
"There's no need," Jiang Xingyao said. She wasn't the one caught cheating, and she felt she had a clear conscience, so there was nothing to hide.
As expected, Jiang Xingyao ran into Jin Qingyu at the dinner table. The man merely glanced at her without offering any reply.
Jiang Xingyao naturally wouldn't speak first.
The meal was eaten in an exceptionally quiet manner.
The two sat facing each other, like strangers.
Jiang Xingyao finished her meal first, then got up to leave. Jin Qingyu asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"What does Mr. Jin think I should say, or what do you want to hear me say?" Jiang Xingyao asked. "Do you need me to apologize to Jiang Cancan?"
Her voice was incredibly sarcastic as Jiang Xingyao coldly stared at Jin Qingyu.
"I didn't ask you to apologize," Jin Qingyu said. "But you went so far this time, don't you have any explanation? Jiang Xingyao, don't you think you were too harsh on Jiang Cancan today?"
"Is it cruel? I don't think so. No matter which woman in this world is involved with a mistress, she's unlikely to have a good time."
"If Mr. Jin feels sorry for her, he can just sign the divorce agreement and take her home. That way, even if I want to cause trouble, I won't have any reason to, right?" Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu was met with a rebuff, his gaze darkening. He didn't respond to Jiang Xingyao's words, but Jiang Xingyao reminded him again, "Don't forget that you personally invited me back."
Since I live in Xiyuan and sit in this position, I won't let her get away if I see her. I advise Mr. Jin to make a choice soon to avoid a repeat of today's events, which would be too painful for you.”
