Chapter 90 You Still Have Me
The icy liquor went down my throat, and the spicy flavor spread between my lips and teeth.
Jiang Xingyao was forced to shed tears.
The first cup…
The second cup…
After the third glass, she felt as if her throat was on fire, and her stomach was churning.
“I have already drunk the wine. I hope Mr. Guo will keep his promise and not disrupt Mr. Shen’s banquet any further,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Feeling terribly nauseous, Jiang Xingyao left for the bathroom without waiting for Guo Tianhe's reaction after saying that.
Jin Qingyu reached out and stopped her: "Mrs. Jin, you're really something. You actually did something like shielding another man from drinking?"
"Get out of my way." Jiang Xingyao didn't even want to look at him and pushed him away.
Jin Qingyu reached out to pull Jiang Xingyao again, but Jiang Cancan suddenly walked over, holding her phone, and whispered, "Mr. Jin, there's a call for you."
Jin Qingyu's gaze darkened, but he still took the phone that Jiang Cancan handed him.
After running to the bathroom, Jiang Xingyao vomited first, and her stomach felt a little better.
She took a while to catch her breath before touching up her makeup and coming out of the bathroom.
The banquet downstairs has already begun, with toasts being exchanged and the atmosphere lively and bustling.
After the interlude, everyone's face was filled with smiles, but for Jiang Xingyao, this grand celebration was like a silent torture.
Jiang Xingyao couldn't stand it any longer.
She searched around but couldn't find Shen Ying, so she left a message for the hotel waiter and planned to go back first.
As soon as she got downstairs, someone stopped her: "Mrs. Jin, our young lady is waiting for you by the pool."
"Young Miss?"
"It's Miss Shen Ying," the waiter who was stopping her explained again.
Jiang Xingyao originally wanted to find Shen Ying, and since Shen Ying was waiting for her, it would be good for her to go and see her.
Jiang Xingyao followed the waiter to the hotel's backyard pool, where she saw Shen Ying standing by the pool, talking to several socialites.
She walked up to Shen Ying and was about to greet her when several waiters pushed a dessert cart over. For some reason, the cart's wheels went out of control, and the waiters lost their footing. The cart was about to crash into Jiang Xingyao.
The accident happened so fast that by the time Jiang Xingyao saw it and tried to dodge, it was too late.
The socialites next to Shen Ying had already scattered and run away. Shen Ying reached out to pull Jiang Xingyao, but the car had already crashed into her, hitting Jiang Xingyao in the lower back.
A numbing pain shot through her, and Jiang Xingyao lost her balance, falling directly into the pool next to her.
A woman's scream followed, the shrill sound plunging the entire banquet hall into a brief, deathly silence.
Countless eyes turned to look, and they saw that Jiang Cancan was lying on the ground at some point, with one of her legs still under the out-of-control dessert cart.
The night was dark, and the hotel courtyard was decorated with small, atmospheric lights. The surroundings were messy, making it difficult to see Jiang Cancan's situation clearly.
Jin Qingyu was talking to someone not far away when he heard the commotion and hurried over. He saw Jiang Cancan sitting on the ground and asked, "What happened?"
"Brother Qingyu, the car ran over my leg, it hurts so much."
Shen Ying was right next to them, surrounded by only a few socialites who were pale with fright. When she saw Jin Qingyu coming over, she grabbed him like a lifeline: "Quickly save Xingyao! Xingyao was just knocked into the pool."
Upon hearing Shen Ying's words, Jin Qingyu's face flashed with worry. Just as he was about to go to help, Jiang Cancan began to sob softly: "The car just went out of control. I came over to try to pull my sister away, but she... she pushed me off the car. Brother Qingyu, my leg hurts so much, is it going to break?"
Jin Qingyu glanced at the direction of the pool again, and he easily spotted Jiang Xingyao's large pink dress in the water. He saw her hair, which was scattering in the water, and her long, dark hair, like seaweed, was floating on the surface of the water.
She was swimming towards the shore with great effort and did not call for help; she seemed to be unharmed.
The sound of Jiang Cancan sobbing could still be heard in my ears.
Jin Qingyu made a decision quickly. He bent down, picked up Jiang Cancan, and walked away.
Seeing this, even the usually elegant Shen Ying couldn't help but swear. She wanted to go down and rescue Jiang Xingyao herself, but then stopped herself for some reason.
Just then, she caught a glimpse of Shen Mingsu approaching and quickly called out, "Asu, Xingyao has fallen into the water! Come quickly and save her! Call 120 immediately!"
Shen Ying's face was pale, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
She knew something about Jiang Xingyao's situation.
When the car crashed into Jiang Xingyao, she could feel the strong wind blowing through her body, which shows how hard the impact was.
Even if Jiang Xingyao hadn't fallen into the water, her situation is probably not optimistic.
Even if we know that the dessert truck incident may not have been an accident, now is not the time to pursue that.
Jiang Xingyao's consciousness was somewhat hazy.
The icy water of the pool seeped into every inch of her bones.
Her back pain was so bad that she couldn't lift her up at all.
She could feel something flowing out of her body, and she tried desperately to climb ashore.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she was lifted up by a hand. In a daze, she seemed to hear Ji Yunyin's voice.
Very anxious, with a sob in her voice.
Jiang Xingyao thought that she must be too confused to be hallucinating, otherwise how could she hear Yin Yin's voice?
The cold water in the swimming pool soaked through Jiang Xingyao's clothes, making her look extremely disheveled. But what was even more shocking was the large patch of blood that had spread across her light pink dress.
Even diluted with water, the crimson blood was still strikingly red.
"Where's the ambulance? Call an ambulance quickly!" Ji Yunyin held the unconscious Jiang Xingyao, urging her on while frantically searching for her phone.
She had just rushed back from Haicheng, intending to give Jiang Xingyao a surprise, but upon arriving, she heard the devastating news.
She was busy rescuing people, and the bag containing her phone had long since been thrown away somewhere.
Too much blood is still flowing out from under Jiang Xingyao.
Everyone present was terrified and in complete chaos. Shen Mingsu was busy controlling the situation, while Shen Ying kept calling 120 for help.
Amidst the chaos, the sound of an ambulance finally came from outside the hotel. Shen Mingsu wanted to come over to help, but Ji Yunyin picked Jiang Xingyao up herself.
Her shoes were nowhere to be found, so she carried Jiang Xingyao barefoot onto the stretcher.
Shen Mingsu stayed behind to investigate the situation of the dessert truck going out of control, while Shen Ying went to the hospital with him.
Ji Yunyin held Jiang Xingyao's hand tightly, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Jiang Xingyao's pale face. Shen Ying, standing beside her, felt a pang of sympathy. She said, "When the dessert cart hit Xingyao and threw her into the swimming pool, her husband carried Jiang Cancan away. If something were to happen to Xingyao this time..."
"Divorce, lawsuit, appeal—Yaoyao must never be with that bastard again," Ji Yunyin said.
Looking at Ji Yunyin's determined eyes, Shen Ying said after a moment, her expression somewhat ambiguous, "It's good that Xingyao has a friend like you."
Ji Yunyin lowered her head and looked at Jiang Xingyao with gentle eyes. She did not speak again.
Jiang Xingyao was wheeled into the operating room.
As the words "Operation in Progress" lit up, Ji Yunyin said, "Miss Chen, right? I heard you've been getting quite close to Yaoyao lately. Could you please tell me what's been happening with Yaoyao recently?"
Shen Ying's expression was solemn. She thought about everything that had happened since the plagiarism incident broke out. She knew nothing about how Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu got along in private, but even based on what she did know, Shen Ying felt suffocated.
She took a deep breath before saying, "Miss Ji, you need to be prepared."
Time passed slowly, and before long, the operating room lights finally went out.
Jiang Xingyao was pushed out.
Ji Yunyin didn't ask any questions; she already knew the result when she met the doctor's serious eyes.
The woman in the hospital bed looked even thinner than when I saw her in Haicheng; her collarbones were prominent, and there was hardly any flesh on her face.
Her features, which were originally bright and beautiful, now look extremely haggard due to her illness.
Ji Yunyin stared at Jiang Xingyao, her mind replaying Shen Ying's words and the pinned comment on Jin's official Weibo account on her phone screen.
They falsely accused her of plagiarism and demanded an apology from her.
That was Yao Yao's dream since she was a child, a pure land in her heart. How could Yao Yao possibly plagiarize others?
That Jin Qingyu not only destroyed Yao Yao's memories, but now he has also completely trampled on Yao Yao's dreams.
He even killed Yao Yao's child with his own hands.
Even as an outsider, Ji Yunyin felt heartbroken and breathless upon receiving so much news. She couldn't imagine how Jiang Xingyao, who had personally experienced all of this, had managed to get through it all.
After Yao Yao wakes up, will she be able to accept the fact that she has lost her child?
Ji Yunyin's expression was extremely solemn.
Shen Ying stood at the door for a while, then silently withdrew.
When Jiang Xingyao woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Morning light streamed through the fluttering curtains into the ward, illuminating Ji Yunyin's profile beside her.
Jiang Xingyao's head was still a little fuzzy. She moved her fingers slightly, which startled Ji Yunyin, who was lying by the bed.
Ji Yunyin sat up straight immediately: "Yaoyao, you're awake. Is anything bothering you? Wait here, I'll go get the doctor for you now."
Jiang Xingyao was still in a daze, staring blankly at Ji Yunyin's face. Just as Ji Yunyin was about to leave, she suddenly heard Jiang Xingyao's muffled voice and asked, "Yinyin, is my child...?"
She didn't ask any further questions, her lips were tightly pressed together, and her eyes were red.
Ji Yunyin stopped moving and rushed towards Jiang Xingyao. She opened her arms and hugged the emaciated woman on the bed tightly: "Yaoyao, I'm here. You still have me. I will always be with you."
