Chapter 153 Jiang Xingyao, You Have to Take Responsibility for Me
Han Hui didn't argue with Jin Manchuan about whether he loved Su Jing. Instead, she pointedly looked at Jin Qingyu and said, "You're just pretending. If you really liked her, you wouldn't be acting like this when Jin Qingyu comes back. Alright, we're husband and wife, we know each other well. Stop pretending."
Jin Manchuan's face stiffened, and he glanced at Jin Qingyu somewhat uncomfortably. At this moment, the usually silent Old Master Jin suddenly roared, "Enough! Since Manchuan's wife has returned safely this time, it means that this matter has nothing to do with her. The promise I made to her will naturally not be diminished. Someone, bring the lawyer over and have the contract drafted."
The old man intended to stop this bloodshed, but Jin Qingyu, who should have spoken up the most, remained silent at this moment.
It wasn't until the old man brought it up and asked him to let the matter of the Qu family go that he said, "Until the truth is thoroughly investigated, I only believe what I see. My mother died from the Qu family's special medicine, and that can't be changed."
His cold eyes swept over Jiang Xingyao's head, and his words carried a veiled meaning.
The old man was furious, but Jin Qingyu had already pushed his wheelchair away.
Regardless of the uproar he caused in the hospital room, he left very decisively. But everyone could see that by not taking over the Qu family's affairs, he was leaving room for Jiang Xingyao to come to him on her own.
The old man sighed repeatedly: "What a scoundrel! He's getting worse and worse!"
The lawyer arrived quickly. The Han family checked the contract, accompanied Han Hui to sign it, and then left.
Han Hui remained in the ward, looking at Jin Manchuan with a strange gaze. Her voice was sarcastic: "You've gone to great lengths and racked your brains, but it doesn't feel good to fail to kill me, does it? Keep trying? Why don't you just give me back everything from the Jin family?"
The old man was already holding his breath, and now, hearing Han Hui's provocation, his expression grew even worse. He said, "You all get out. Manchuan, stay here."
In the past, he would definitely have kept Jiang Xingyao to talk, but now…
He was preoccupied with other things and no longer had the mind to care about Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao had already met with the old man and didn't intend to stay any longer. As she left the hospital, she happened to be in the same elevator as Han Hui, who said sarcastically, "You're back again? Still feeling soft-hearted?"
“I came back because of my grandfather,” Jiang Xingyao said.
“But you’ve fallen into someone else’s trap, haven’t you?” Han Hui said, her hand suddenly resting on Jiang Xingyao’s shoulder, bringing with it a rich and intense rose scent. “Be a little more ruthless, a little more unscrupulous, and you can solve a lot of problems.”
The elevator doors opened, and without waiting for Jiang Xingyao's reply, she swaggered out of the hospital. The Han family's car was waiting at the door, and Han Jianglang even stuck his head out of the car, waving at her.
Seeing this scene still stirred a little emotion in Jiang Xingyao's heart.
Behind Han Hui, there are always family members who would defend her without question, but behind her, there is no one.
She also admired Han Hui's carefree and decisive nature, but she had too many concerns and could never do what Han Hui did.
"Yaoyao, you must be exhausted these days. I've made a reservation. Come on, let's go have dinner." While Jiang Xingyao was in a daze, Ji Yunyin appeared out of nowhere and took her arm.
In the private restaurant opposite Yunhe Law Firm, Jiang Xingyao and Ji Yunyin sat facing each other. Qin Jiangnan was also there, as was Qin Jiangnan's older brother, Qin Mobei.
This was something Jiang Xingyao hadn't expected.
Qin Mobei was much older than them, and even during the years when the Qin family and the Qu family were most closely connected, she rarely saw Qin Mobei.
Ji Yunyin said, "Knowing that Jin is a scoundrel, if we're talking about who knows the inside story about that special medicine from the Qu family back then, it's only the Qin family. I specially invited Brother Mobei here, so I'm not afraid of not being able to find out about this matter."
Qin Mobei also greeted Jiang Xingyao, and Jiang Xingyao looked at the group with gratitude in her eyes.
She originally planned to go directly to the elders who had followed her grandfather to inquire about this matter, but since Qu Xinting handed over the Qu family, those people have either left or scattered, and many have set up their own households. This path must not be simple.
Now Ji Yunyin has shown her another way.
Qin Mobei said, "I did know a little about the Qu family's special medicine. My grandfather was very optimistic about it and even took me to the Qu family's laboratory to learn about it."
I vaguely remember that the problem with this medicine was that it lacked some neutralizing ingredient, and we couldn't figure out a solution. After it was shelved for a while, Grandpa Qu suddenly called my grandpa and said that the problem was solved.
And then…”
Qin Jiangnan frowned, impatiently urging, "What happened next? Brother, why are you keeping me in suspense?"
Qin Mobei recalled: "At that time, we were all waiting for that special drug to be successfully launched. But Grandpa Qu suddenly canceled the launch plan. No one knew the reason behind it. My grandfather also tried to persuade him, but I don't know what they said at the time. In short, the final result was that the Qu family replaced this drug with another one."
Jiang Xingyao's gaze darkened slightly, and her expression gradually became serious. Sure enough, there were various inside stories. It seemed that she would have to ask the people who had participated in this research before.
Qin Jiangnan urged again, "I thought you were so capable. What you said is as good as nothing. Aren't you the genius that Grandpa values most? Why don't you go back and sound him out?"
He made arrangements for Qin Mobei without any hesitation.
Qin Mobei's gaze shifted between Jiang Xingyao and Qin Jiangnan, a strange feeling rising within him.
He seemed to be thinking of the time when Jin Qingyu had come to the Qin family, and how his unruly younger brother had suddenly broken ties with Jin Qingyu.
This is clearly a bit unusual.
"What are you looking at? We're all friends, what's wrong with helping each other out? Qin Mobei, you can't be so cold-blooded. Don't forget you studied in the Qu family's laboratory before." Qin Jiangnan kept urging.
Qin Mobei said, "I didn't know that our Anan was such a warm-hearted person."
One sentence made the atmosphere at the table become strange.
Qin Jiangnan's face flashed with obvious impatience again: "Stop being sarcastic. Just tell me, are you going to help me or not?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Ji Yunyin quickly said, "Brother Mobei, please help Yaoyao, just for my sake, okay?"
Qin Mobei's expression was still a bit cold and hard, but Ji Yunyin patted his shoulder in a carefree manner: "Help me out, haven't you been going to great lengths for Qin Jiangnan lately? If you help Yaoyao with this, I'll guarantee that Qin Jiangnan will be working at the hospital for a month, how about it?"
Qin Jiangnan, who had been standing aside, immediately widened his eyes upon hearing Ji Yunyin's words: "No, Ji Yunyin, so you're begging my brother because you're sincere? You... you skinflint!"
"So what? You should feel honored to go to such lengths for a friend, Brother Mobei. Since I'm being so sincere, why don't you go and ask around for me?" Ji Yunyin said.
Qin Mobei's gaze fell on the hand Ji Yunyin was using to press on his shoulder. His eyes darkened slightly, and he finally relented, saying, "Okay."
"Brother Mobei, I knew you were the best. Go quickly, leave Qin Jiangnan's matter to me," Ji Yunyin said.
Qin Jiangnan roared, "No way! Did you even ask for my opinion? You just sold me out like this without any explanation? Jiang Xingyao! Look at this! It's all because of you! You have to compensate me for my trauma! This time, I've sacrificed a lot for you!"
He suddenly stood up like a cat with its fur standing on end, slamming his fist on the table and accusing Ji Yunyin.
Ji Yunyin picked at her ear: "What's all the noise about, Qin Jiangnan? You're not getting any younger. Who else is as old as you and doesn't even have a job? You've been lazy for so long, it's time to share some of the burden with your brother!"
"You! You still dare to talk back! Jiang Xingyao, look at her, she's pushing her luck. Anyway, you have to take responsibility for this," Qin Jiangnan said.
Jiang Xingyao's head was buzzing from the young master's unreasonable words. She cooperated and said, "Alright, I know that Young Master Qin has sacrificed the most for me. Tell me, how do you want me to make it up to you?"
This time it was Qin Jiangnan's turn to be stunned. He looked at Jiang Xingyao, unable to put his mind at a loss for words.
Qin Mobei hadn't left yet, and as he listened to their noisy chatter, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
He knew his younger brother too well; he was usually a troublemaker, and if he really did something he didn't want to do, no one could force him.
Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have let him roam freely outside for so many years.
But this time…
He verbally resisted vehemently, but his actions clearly showed that he had compromised.
Qin Mobei quickly withdrew his gaze. He didn't look at Jiang Xingyao, but said to Ji Yunyin, "I'll leave this kid's matter to you."
Qin Jiangnan exploded again: "Enough! Bro! Are you done yet?! I don't want her to interfere. Even if I go to the hospital to help, it's my own choice to go to great lengths for my friend. Just leave, I get annoyed just looking at you."
Qin Mobei didn't argue with him. He smiled, nodded to Jiang Xingyao, and left.
For a while after he left, Jiang Xingyao was still a little dazed. She felt that the atmosphere between Qin Mobei and Ji Yunyin was a bit strange.
Previously, Yinyin, like her, had no contact with Qin Mobei.
Ji Yunyin also noticed Jiang Xingyao's gaze and said, "Yaoyao, why are you looking at me like that?"
"You and Qin Mobei..."
"Ji Yunyin, really? You didn't tell her about something this big?"
"Jiang Xingyao, you've really missed out on so much by leaving. The Ji family intends to form a marriage alliance with us. Who knows, this woman might become my sister-in-law in the future. Tsk, the future looks bleak!" Qin Jiangnan said.
Ji Yunyin's eyes flickered: "It's just intentional, nothing's even close to happening yet, don't talk nonsense."
Qin Jiangnan said, "For a family like ours, if we have that kind of intention, doesn't that mean we're already together?"
"Having Qin Mobei was already troublesome enough, and now I have to add a female demon like you to the family. Ugh, my life is so miserable!"
Jiang Xingyao was amused by Qin Jiangnan's pitiful appearance. Ji Yunyin blushed and said angrily, "Who are you calling a she-devil? Believe me or not, I'll tell your brother to lock you up in the hospital for another month?"
The two quickly started wrestling, and Jiang Xingyao was amused by them again. The scene was chaotic yet joyful. No one noticed that on the second-floor railing, Jin Qingyu was looking over with a sullen face and displeasure.
