Chapter 220 Blame It on You Know Too Much
Jiang Yuncheng deliberately made his voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, which attracted a lot of attention, and everyone looked at Jin Qingyu.
Within the crowd, some began to whisper among themselves: "Isn't that President Jin? Didn't he divorce the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? Why is he at the Jiang family's party?"
"You don't know this, do you? Didn't President Jin kneel down at Nanhua Temple for Miss Jiang before? There's probably more to the relationship between these two than meets the eye."
"You mean there's still hope for Mr. Jin and Miss Jiang to get back together? If that's the case, then the Jiang family is..."
"No one can say for sure about these things, but remember that coming to the Jiang family at this time might mean that Miss Jiang has some feelings for her. Let's wait and see. Maybe the Jiang family is truly destined to survive this time."
The whispers reached Jiang Yuncheng's ears one after another, making his mouth practically split open. He became even more attentive to Jin Qingyu.
He knew in his heart that most of the people who came here today were there to watch the show, waiting to see when the Jiang family would arrive so they could get a piece of the pie as quickly as possible.
But now that Jin Qingyu has arrived, the situation is different.
Putting aside whether he can get investment from Jin Qingyu, just the fact that Jin Qingyu came to support him today, once word gets out, will definitely entice a bunch of people to cooperate with him.
Jiang Yuncheng's face was filled with smiles. He seemed to have already seen the miracle drug successfully launched and huge sums of money flying into his arms.
Jiang Yuncheng quickly pulled Jin Qingyu to sit down on the sofa in the rest area. He kept talking, introducing the Jiang family's business to Jin Qingyu and urging him to eat.
Jin Qingyu basically ignored Jiang Yuncheng's words. His gaze swept around the room without making a sound, and he roughly remembered everyone present today. In the sparsely populated banquet hall, he did not see Qu Xinting, nor did he see Zhou Huaiyan, who was cooperating with the Jiang family.
Jin Qingyu asked tentatively, "Why is my mother-in-law not here on an occasion like today?"
Jiang Yuncheng said, "Tingting, something came up at the company, so she hasn't come back yet, but she should be back soon."
After giving a perfunctory reply, his gaze kept lingering on Jin Qingyu, and the topic once again turned to the Jiang family's current financial shortage.
No matter how he tried to subtly inquire, Jin Qingyu remained tight-lipped about not having seen Qu Xinting.
Jiang Yuncheng realized that he couldn't get Jin Qingyu to talk. His eyes darted around, and he seemed to have come up with an idea. He made an excuse and left Jin Qingyu's place temporarily.
Jiang Yuncheng went straight upstairs and found Bai Fang: "Where's Jiang Cancan? Call her quickly and tell her to come back. Jin Qingyu is here at the Jiang family. We can't let her miss such a good opportunity."
Bai Fang's expression was strange: "Master, Can Can can't come, she..."
"Why can't she come? Didn't she say she had a way to win Jin Qingyu's heart? I've waited for her for so long, but I haven't seen her bring me any benefits."
"Now that such a great opportunity has been presented to her, why isn't she taking it?" Jiang Yuncheng questioned.
He was in a state of rage, and his roar made Bai Fang tremble slightly.
This period began when the Jiang family gradually declined, and Jiang Yuncheng's temper became increasingly worse. Qu Xinting was often at the company and rarely came home, or she would go to Hong Kong to discuss projects with the Zhou family. Jiang Yuncheng vented all his anger on her.
Despite their youthful love, Jiang Yuncheng went to great lengths to stay with Qu Xinting even after marrying her, but ultimately, their feelings couldn't withstand the pressure of self-interest.
Ever since Jiang's incident, Jiang Yuncheng has never given her a kind look. He started to blame her for being useless and for not being able to help him. Now, Bai Fang is unconsciously afraid in front of Jiang Yuncheng.
She explained in a low voice, "Sir, have you forgotten? Can Can was sent to the United States by the Jin family patriarch."
Jiang Yuncheng's face darkened further: "Useless thing, you talk a good game, but in the end you're still a good-for-nothing who has accomplished nothing."
She claimed she could keep Jin Qingyu in check, but she couldn't even protect herself. I think she's even worse than Jiang Xingyao. I shouldn't have believed her nonsense in the first place.
He cursed for a while, and without caring whether Bai Fang was upset, he slammed the door and left.
Bai Fang dialed Jiang Cancan's number with a grim expression. As soon as the call connected, her voice choked up, and she immediately complained to Jiang Cancan, "Cancan, when are you coming back?"
Is there still any hope for your claim that you could keep President Jin in check?
Jiang Cancan has now moved to Tai'er's villa. She had just sent Tai'er away when Bai Fang called.
Upon hearing the long-unheard name of Jin Qingyu, a clear look of resentment flashed across Jiang Cancan's face.
Bai Fang's distraught voice came through the microphone intermittently. Jiang Cancan suppressed her agitation and asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Bai Fang quickly recounted the recent events to Jiang Cancan, saying, "Cancan, you should quickly beg President Jin. If there's no more investment, the Jiang family won't be able to survive. Your father has been very anxious lately. If the Jiang family falls, our good days will be over."
Jiang Cancan said, "The Jiang family is going to fall? How could it be so fast? Wasn't everything fine before? What about Qu Xinting? Is there nothing she can do?"
Bai Fang didn't know much about what was going on at the company, and she gave vague answers, failing to explain things clearly to Jiang Cancan.
Her sobs reached Jiang Cancan's ears, making her unconsciously irritated. Jiang Cancan said, "Alright, Mom, stop crying. Leave this to me. I'll give you an answer later."
After hanging up with Bai Fang, Jiang Cancan immediately dialed He Qifeng's number.
The Jiang family cannot fall. If she were to beg Jin Qingyu for help now, he might not even pay her any attention. For now, she can only try to win over He Qifeng.
He Qifeng had always been very accommodating to her, so asking him to lend some money to the Jiang family to help them through their difficulties shouldn't be too difficult.
He Qifeng is a fool. At worst, she could just offer him a little something. Given how much He Qifeng cares for her, he would definitely go to great lengths to help her.
Jiang Cancan had planned everything perfectly, and things went as smoothly as she had expected. She simply coaxed He Qifeng a couple of times, and he relented. Just as Jiang Cancan was about to tell Bai Fang the good news, the villa door suddenly opened.
Several shady-looking foreign men were walking towards her.
"Who are you?" Jiang Cancan could feel their malicious gazes, and she immediately panicked, asking nervously.
The leader grinned lewdly. "So this is the Oriental beauty that Tyre has been keeping secret? Tsk, she's not that pretty, but she's not unbearable to look at either."
He spoke very slowly, as if deliberately wanting Jiang Cancan to hear him clearly. As he spoke, he walked up to Jiang Cancan and reached out his hand towards her.
Jiang Cancan was a little nervous: "Who are you people? Don't touch me, or I'll tell Brother Tai'er."
"Tyr? Tsk, what's the use of telling him? Little beauty doesn't know yet, he's already given you to us today."
"Give it to, what does that mean?" In her haste, Jiang Cancan forgot about her broken English and spoke directly in Chinese, her mind a complete mess.
There was also lingering fear.
This group of people were all nonchalant and irresponsible, just like the spoiled brats in the capital, which made Jiang Cancan feel extremely uneasy.
"What else could it mean? It just means you have to serve us guys." A black guy grinned and replied to Jiang Cancan in Chinese. Jiang Cancan's eyes widened, and all the color drained from her face.
"Nonsense, I don't believe it. I'm Tyr's girlfriend, he wouldn't..."
"Why not? Girlfriends are for fun, aren't they? Our girlfriends are for mutual enjoyment. Alright, stop wasting time talking to her, let's get started," said the same black guy.
As they spoke, the group moved closer to Jiang Cancan, eager to tear off her clothes.
Jiang Cancan panicked. She tried to break free like a madwoman, but how could she possibly resist the strength of these men?
She didn't know how much time had passed. After everyone left, Jiang Cancan had no strength left. She collapsed on the ground like a lump of mud, tears streaming down her face, and her heart ached so much that it was almost numb.
She didn't understand how things had suddenly turned out this way.
During this time, Thiel had been very good to her, almost to the point of being gentle and considerate.
That was almost her only solace in a foreign land. She embellished the story of Jiang Xingyao to tell Tyre, thinking that all she had to do next was wait for Tyre to embarrass Jiang Xingyao.
But no matter what, she never expected that she would receive such an outcome first.
Jiang Cancan practically scrambled to her feet to find her phone. She wanted to call Tai'er to find out what had happened, but just then, the villa door opened again, and Tai'er appeared in the doorway.
Seeing Jiang Cancan lying on the ground, barely clothed, a hint of disgust flashed across Tyrell's face.
Jiang Cancan said, "Brother Tai, did you really hire those people? Why? Didn't you say you liked me? Why are you treating me like this?"
Jiang Cancan's English was already poor, and now, because she was too excited, she was speaking unclearly, making it even more difficult for people to understand what she was saying.
But seeing her anxious look, Tyre knew what she wanted to ask.
Tyr found a place to sit down, and he thoughtfully turned on the real-time translation software: "Miss Cancan, you are indeed an interesting woman, but the Jinle Cup competition is too important to me. Naturally, I can't keep an uncertain factor around. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for knowing too much. I have no choice but to get rid of you."
