Chapter 56 She won't fall for Jin Qingyu's tricks again.
With Jin Qingyu standing up for her, Jiang Cancan stopped pretending to be strong. She lowered her head and began to sob, "Sister, how far are you going to push me before you're satisfied?"
Even if I really did something wrong, you've already taken my job, burdened me with a debt of 400 million, and even made my mother work like a slave in front of your mother. Isn't that enough?
Do you really want me dead?
Distorting the truth and confusing the public is another of Jiang Cancan's habitual rhetoric.
Jiang Xingyao was too lazy to argue with Jiang Cancan. She grabbed a fruit knife from the fruit plate and handed it to Jiang Cancan, saying, "Want to die? Come on, don't hesitate."
"Enough! Jiang Xingyao, there's a limit to your willfulness." Jin Qingyu raised his hand and knocked the knife out of Jiang Xingyao's hand.
With a slight exertion of his wrist, he pulled Jiang Cancan behind him.
The scene in front of me was very familiar.
Just like how he had protected Jiang Cancan countless times in front of her.
Jiang Xingyao's wrist was still a little numb from the shock. She stared indifferently at Jin Qingyu: "Is this what President Jin meant by wanting to live a good life with me?"
Jin Qingyu met Jiang Xingyao's gaze. His expression seemed to falter for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "You went too far."
"Did I pass?" Jiang Xingyao smiled. "What did I do? Did I hit her or scold her? No, I just felt sorry for my sister and wanted to help her boost her sales."
Since she regularly works at this club, selling drinks is just part of her job. Even if it wasn't me today, and someone else was sitting here, shouldn't she come up and sell drinks?
What did I do wrong?
As if he had been rebuffed, instead of Jiang Xingyao's hysterical outburst, Jin Qingyu was speechless for a moment.
In particular, he could always see Jiang Cancan wearing the uniform of a club waitress in his peripheral vision.
It was as if it was a silent reminder to him that Jiang Xingyao had indeed done nothing.
“Then you shouldn’t have humiliated her again and again.” After a while, Jin Qingyu still said in a hesitant tone.
Jiang Xingyao's smile widened: "To be honest, it's humiliating, Jin Qingyu. There's no reason why others can't say what you two did."
It's true that my brother-in-law and sister-in-law stayed out all night at a club.
If it's just about drinking, then why is it okay for her to sell her alcohol to you but not to me?
Jin Qingyu's gaze was deep, yet he was once again rendered speechless.
Jiang Cancan's face was also a little numb. She thought for a moment and said to Jin Qingyu, "Mr. Jin, thank you for speaking up for me today, but what my sister said is right. This is what I do now, and it is my job."
She slowly walked towards Jiang Xingyao, slightly bent her knees, and knelt down in front of Jiang Xingyao: "Thank you for patronizing my business today, sister. May I open the wine for you?"
Jiang Xingyao casually pointed to a bottle: "That's right, our service is top-notch, let's open it."
Jiang Cancan lowered her head, concealing the fleeting disgust in her eyes, and handed the opened bottle of wine to Jiang Xingyao.
His downcast and meek appearance made him look very aggrieved.
But that's not enough.
Jiang Xingyao thought.
She picked up the wine bottle, filled it completely, and poured it directly over Jiang Cancan's head.
Jiang Cancan seemed stunned by the pouring. She instinctively raised her head, only to have the drink splashed all over her face.
The slightly sticky red wine got into her eyes and nostrils, choking her and causing her to cough incessantly while covering her mouth.
But Jiang Xingyao seemed not to hear her, and continued to raise her wrist, calmly staring at Jiang Cancan's disheveled state.
Just like in Wangshan Manor, under the fallen rose vines, Jiang Cancan looked at her mockingly.
The bottle of wine was almost empty when a shadow fell over them. Jin Qingyu once again pushed Jiang Xingyao's hand away and stood in front of Jiang Cancan.
The bottle fell to the ground, making a crisp sound before shattering into pieces.
Jiang Xingyao felt a stinging pain in her ankle, as if something warm was gushing out.
It's blood.
The shards of glass splattered on my ankle, drawing blood.
But this pain was far less intense than the stinging sensation the scene before her eyes caused Jiang Xingyao.
Jin Qingyu had already helped Jiang Cancan up. He supported her as they left, not forgetting to leave Jiang Xingyao with a message of "take care of yourself."
Jiang Xingyao didn't stop her, nor did she want to. She was all too familiar with this kind of scene; it had haunted her like a nightmare countless times.
The person who said they would live well together, the person who said they had long since severed ties with Jiang Cancan, once again chose Jiang Cancan over her.
But Jiang Xingyao no longer hates him.
She was even a little grateful, grateful that Jin Qingyu once again used his actions to bring her back to reality and prevent her from falling into that illusory tenderness.
Assistant Xu had gone out with Jin Qingyu. Seeing Jin Qingyu helping Jiang Cancan to the car, he asked with some concern, "Mr. Jin, what about Madam? What happened today…?"
He wanted to explain that he had half-dragged, half-pulled his wife out today.
But Jin Qingyu had no intention of listening to him finish. He said, "I'll take some people to deal with it first. You stay here and look after Madam."
Assistant Xu felt that something was wrong, but before he could say anything more, the car had already sped away.
Looking back at the direction of the clubhouse, Xu Tezhu felt very guilty. He spent a long time mentally preparing himself before walking back.
Fortunately, Jiang Xingyao didn't leave either. She remained seated on the leather sofa, without even changing her posture.
Upon seeing Assistant Xu return, she was the first to ask, "Has he left?"
"Madam, please don't overthink it. Mr. Jin definitely cares about you, he just..."
“You don’t need to explain for him. I’m used to it. Assistant Xu, I will never fall for your tricks again,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Her tone was calm and even, yet it seemed to stir up a storm in Assistant Xu's heart. Assistant Xu had a feeling that this matter might not end so easily.
Regardless of what Mr. Jin thinks, he did put in some effort to win his wife back.
But now…
Assistant Xu wanted to say something nice for Jin Qingyu again, but a quick glance caught his eye and he first saw Jiang Xingyao's still bleeding ankle, which had soaked her white socks red.
Assistant Xu exclaimed in surprise, "Madam, you're injured. Let me take you to the hospital first."
“No need, I want to walk alone,” Jiang Xingyao said.
She doesn't need anyone's pity, especially not anyone around Jin Qingyu.
On a sweltering summer day, the midday sun is so intense that it's hard to open your eyes, and you can hardly see anyone on the streets.
The sun was so hot that it felt like even tears would evaporate instantly, leaving no trace. It was perfect for secretly shedding tears, Jiang Xingyao thought.
But she wouldn't cry anymore; she wouldn't and didn't want to shed tears for Jin Qingyu anymore.
She'd had enough.
Jiang Xingyao walked along blankly. She passed by the cake shop from last night again. The cakes in the window were still exquisitely decorated. Jiang Xingyao went straight in.
She bought a cake from the salesperson. It wasn't pink, nor heart-shaped, and it didn't have any sugar pearls; it was just an ordinary chocolate slice cake.
She found a place to sit down and slowly finished the whole cake by herself.
Assistant Xu stood outside the door, separated by a glass door. Looking at Jiang Xingyao's overly calm face, he felt uneasy once again.
As if possessed, he took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Jin Qingyu.
He waited for a while, until Jiang Xingyao came out of the cake shop, but he still hadn't received a reply from Jin Qingyu.
He could only continue walking with Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao went to the Jiang family this time.
She didn't go inside; she just stood at the doorway and watched from a distance.
Separated by a door, Mom is still inside, where a psychologist is still with her. Perhaps after some time, Mom's condition will improve, and she won't cling to Jiang Yuncheng so much anymore, and then she can take Mom away.
Jiang Xingyao thought, "I have to be patient."
She's already endured it for so long, it's okay if she endures it a little longer until her mother's health improves.
For her mother's sake, she can return to Xiyuan again today.
Assistant Xu was still standing not far away.
He knew that his wife's house was right in front of him.
He was increasingly worried that his wife had no intention of returning to Xiyuan.
In a panic, Assistant Xu took another photo, but ten minutes passed and he still did not receive a response from Jin Qingyu.
Just as Assistant Xu was hesitating about whether to make the call, Jiang Xingyao suddenly walked over: "Let's go back to Xiyuan."
Assistant Xu even doubted whether he had misheard the last two words, otherwise how could he have heard his wife say that she wanted to go back to Xiyuan?
But at this moment, Assistant Xu dared not hesitate and quickly opened the car door for Jiang Xingyao.
fine…
Fortunately, the wife did not go directly into the Jiang family home.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain it to President Jin.
Meanwhile, in the hotel suite, Jiang Cancan had changed into clean clothes and came out of the bathroom.
She saw Jin Qingyu on the sofa looking irritated. Just as she was about to speak, Jin Qingyu spoke first: "Yaoyao went a bit too far today. I apologize to you on her behalf. Here is ten million. Take it. Don't go to work at the club anymore."
If you still have any complaints about this, let me know; don't contact Yaoyao.
The slight joy on Jiang Cancan's lips froze completely because of Jin Qingyu's two sentences.
Jiang Xingyao has already gone so far today, is he bringing himself back to apologize on her behalf?
Jiang Cancan dug her nails into her palms, forcing herself to maintain her composure, and said awkwardly to Jin Qingyu, "Mr. Jin, you're overthinking it. My sister has always been like this, and I'm used to it. Of course, I won't hold a grudge against her. I just hope that my sister won't cause me any more trouble in the future."
“She won’t,” Jin Qingyu said. “If you have nothing else, I’m leaving.”
"Wait! Mr. Jin, that four hundred million... my dad really can't come up with it right now. He's putting all the blame on me. I really don't know what to do. Mr. Jin, can you help me?"
