Chapter 84 Let's See About Infertility
The opportunity Jiang Xingyao needed came very quickly.
Jiang Yuncheng was called to attend an auction. Qu Xinting was still in the hospital, so Jiang Yuncheng went by himself.
After receiving the news, Jiang Xingyao arranged for a hypnotherapist to go to Qu Xinting's ward.
Upon seeing Jiang Xingyao again, Qu Xinting's expression showed a moment of surprise, but her face quickly turned cold: "Why are you here? Is the severance agreement ready?"
Jiang Xingyao's gaze fell on the scar on her neck, where a large patch of skin was uneven and looked quite terrifying.
Just as Cen Yan said, it will definitely leave a scar.
Qu Xinting also noticed Jiang Xingyao's gaze. She awkwardly covered her eyes with her hand before asking Jiang Xingyao again, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf? Did you bring the severance agreement?"
“I’ve got it, but you need to talk to my lawyer first,” Jiang Xingyao said.
She gave the hypnotist a signal; he was dressed in a white suit and looked every bit the professional.
Qu Xinting frowned, seemingly hesitant. After a while, she muttered impatiently, "This is really troublesome. Fine, let's talk."
Jiang Xingyao glanced at the hypnotist again, and only left the ward after seeing him nod impassively.
Through the window, one can vaguely see what's inside.
She couldn't hear what the two were saying, but she could see Qu Xinting's expression gradually change from impatience to calm.
Time passed slowly, and Jiang Xingyao's heart remained tightly clenched.
She couldn't help but wonder, if the door opened, would she be met with surprise or disappointment?
What if Qu Xinting is still the same as before? What if she changes? How should I get along with her?
Or even if she recovers, will she care about her daughter?
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in a chaotic manner, and Jiang Xingyao was unable to calm down for a long time.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Jiang Xingyao felt a hand on her shoulder, and at the same time, a coat was draped over her shoulders, carrying a strong ebony scent.
Jin Qingyu arrived at some point and stood beside her.
Jiang Xingyao also heard a man's low, husky voice in her ear, saying, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I'm here."
In such an extremely uneasy state, Jiang Xingyao had no intention of confronting Jin Qingyu.
The atmosphere seemed to gradually become tense.
The door was finally opened.
Qu Xinting had already fallen asleep, and it was the hypnotherapist who came over first.
Jiang Xingyao asked, "Master, how is she?"
The hypnotist's expression was not good. Meeting Jiang Xingyao's hopeful eyes, he said, "Mrs. Jin, I'm sorry, I didn't find any signs of hypnosis in your mother."
No signs of hypnosis were found.
The words echoed in Jiang Xingyao's mind over and over again. Jiang Xingyao's legs went weak and she staggered.
Jin Qingyu supported her from behind, preventing her from falling.
Jiang Xingyao looked at the hypnotist with red eyes: "There are no signs of hypnosis, which means that everything she is doing now is entirely her own will, is that right?"
As the hypnotist nodded, Jiang Xingyao's last glimmer of hope vanished.
So this is what Qu Xinting was always like. She never cared about her daughter at all. But what was she expecting?
After having his assistant, Xu, see the hypnotist off, Jin Qingyu lowered his head and said to Jiang Xingyao, "Perhaps there's still some misunderstanding? Yaoyao, how about..."
He wanted to say that he could try to find more experts in this field.
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xingyao interrupted her: "There's no misunderstanding. This is her own decision, and no one can change it."
Jiang Xingyao's face was filled with sorrow. Looking at her desperate appearance, Jin Qingyu seemed to think of a homeless stray cat in a rainstorm.
It's pitifully thin.
He hugged Jiang Xingyao's shoulders even tighter, his tall frame almost completely enveloping her in his shadow. He said, "Yaoyao, you still have me, and you still have Grandpa."
Jiang Xingyao neither agreed nor disagreed with his words.
In the ward, Qu Xinting stirred; she had woken up and looked at Jiang Xingyao outside through the thin glass of the ward.
Jiang Xingyao took a deep breath, pushed Jin Qingyu away, and stepped into the ward.
Qu Xinting stared at Jiang Xingyao's face, her eyes seemingly filled with mockery.
After all, Jiang Xingyao knew about hypnosis; she couldn't be fooled.
She didn't want to have any more conversation with Qu Xinting, so she took out the severance agreement she had prepared earlier from her bag and placed it in front of Qu Xinting: "Take a look for yourself, and sign it if there are no problems."
Hearing the voice, Qu Xinting finally looked away from Jiang Xingyao's face. She casually flipped through the termination agreement and pointed to a line of text on it, saying, "Delete this line. Since we've severed ties, I won't need you to support me when I'm old. Do you know what severing ties means? It means we'll never have any contact again, and if we meet, we'll be strangers."
I have Yun Cheng and Jiang Cancan; I don't need you to support me.
Jiang Xingyao originally felt that since Qu Xinting had given birth to her, it was her duty to support her, but she never expected Qu Xinting to be so resolute.
She didn't argue and simply told Assistant Xu to take it and revise the agreement.
When the agreement was retrieved, the paper was still warm from the printer. Jiang Xingyao handed it back to Qu Xinting.
This time, Qu Xinting didn't hesitate and signed the document with her head down.
As Jiang Xingyao watched her name appear smoothly on the paper, a void seemed to fill her heart.
Qu Xinting quickly finished signing her name, and then urged, "Where's the inkpad? Don't try to fool me, you have to leave your fingerprint too."
Her impatient attitude made Jiang Xingyao's temples throb, but she still handed the prepared inkpad to Qu Xinting.
Qu Xinting pressed her fingerprint, seemingly satisfied. She pushed the things to Jiang Xingyao: "Now that everything is resolved, you are no longer a daughter of the Jiang family, so don't come to the Jiang family anymore."
"Don't worry, even if Jiang Yuncheng begs me, I won't go to a place like the Jiang family's again," Jiang Xingyao said.
Qu Xinting lowered her eyes slightly, and Jiang Xingyao lost interest in listening to what she was thinking.
As she turned to leave the ward, Qu Xinting's voice suddenly came from behind her, with a somewhat ambiguous tone: "Jiang Xingyao, considering that you were once my daughter, I advise you: hesitation will only lead to trouble."
Jiang Xingyao's back stiffened, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. Even the agreement to sever ties had been signed, so was Qu Xinting afraid that she wouldn't give up and deliberately said something like that to stab her?
Jiang Xingyao said, "We have nothing to do with each other anymore, and I don't need your advice."
She didn't turn around, nor did she see Qu Xinting's thoughtful gaze. Instead, she looked out the window of the ward, where Jin Qingyu's figure was reflected.
Before Jiang Xingyao could even push open the ward door, a series of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. The door was then pushed open from the outside, revealing Jiang Yuncheng standing in the doorway, with Jiang Cancan in a formal dress beside him. They must have received the news and rushed back from the auction.
Jiang Yuncheng bumped into Jiang Xingyao and rushed towards Qu Xinting: "Tingting, are you alright? Why did Yaoyao suddenly come to find you?"
"Of course I'm here to sign the severance agreement," Qu Xinting said, holding up her copy of the agreement in front of Jiang Yuncheng, her words carrying a hint of boasting. "Look, Yuncheng, I've completely severed ties with her, and she can no longer come to our house to cause trouble."
After I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll tell the housekeepers that Jiang Xingyao is never allowed to enter our house again.
Qu Xinting chattered excitedly at Jiang Yuncheng, every word she said like a knife cutting into Jiang Xingyao's heart.
Perhaps she was numb from the pain, or perhaps she was utterly disappointed, but this time Jiang Xingyao's heart did not stir up much emotion.
She heard Jiang Yuncheng still trying to coax Qu Xinting, but Qu Xinting said even more hurtful things. When she came out of the ward, the first thing she saw was Jiang Cancan standing next to Jin Qingyu, saying something.
Assistant Xu said, "Madam, please don't misunderstand. Today, Secretary Jiang is attending the auction in place of President Jin. She is reporting to President Jin."
Jiang Xingyao no longer cared what Jiang Cancan did; she was a little tired and wanted to be alone.
Jiang Xingyao said, "You guys chat, I'm going to the restroom."
Jin Qingyu raised his hand, interrupting Jiang Cancan. He followed closely behind Jiang Xingyao. Listening to the close footsteps, Jiang Xingyao said helplessly, "Jin Qingyu, you don't need to look at me like I'm a criminal."
"I'm worried," Jin Qingyu corrected, the last word trailing off suddenly, causing Jiang Xingyao to pause as well.
They saw Jin Yanzhou almost simultaneously, alone, going to the gynecology clinic.
Jiang Xingyao recalled the mysterious perfume scent on Jin Yanzhou and the lipstick mark on his collar when she last visited the old house.
Jin Yanzhou has never publicly stated that he has a girlfriend, but now he suddenly appeared in the gynecology clinic. Could it be that he has been secretly pregnant?
The old man desperately wanted a grandson, but there had been no progress between her and Jin Qingyu. If Jin Yanzhou made a move first, even if it was an unmarried pregnancy, as long as the other party's family background was clean, the old man would definitely not have any objections.
Jiang Xingyao tilted her head and saw that Jin Qingyu's expression was indeed solemn.
If Jin Yanzhou has a child first, his position as the head of the Jin family will inevitably be shaken.
However, none of this mattered to Jiang Xingyao. She was no longer the Jiang Xingyao who wanted to throw herself at Jin Qingyu, and she would never reveal her pregnancy to give Jin Qingyu leverage against Jin Yanzhou.
Jiang Xingyao quickly came to her senses. Just as she was about to leave, Jin Qingyu suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her to push open the door to the gynecology clinic in front of them.
The person sitting inside was Jin Yanzhou. When he saw Jin Qingyu, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly smiled and said, "Qingyu, what a coincidence! It's great to meet you and your husband here. Are you here to see a doctor about infertility?"
