Chapter 92 There's nothing left to miss in the capital.
"Xingyao, why did you suddenly go to the pool?" After talking with Jiang Xingyao for a while, Shen Ying suddenly asked.
She knew that Jiang Xingyao wasn't one to join in the fun, especially after what happened with Guo Tianhe.
Jiang Xingyao was still somewhat dazed, but when she heard Shen Ying's question, her pupils suddenly contracted: "Sister Shen Ying, do you mean you didn't want me to come find you?"
Upon hearing her words, Shen Ying realized the seriousness of the situation. She asked, "Did someone tell you that I was looking for you? Do you remember what that person looked like?"
This was a complete setup. Jiang Xingyao was deliberately lured there. The tampered car and the sudden appearance of Jiang Cancan—everything was suspicious.
The surveillance footage is still playing on a loop.
Jiang Xingyao's gaze lingered on the laptop screen, as if she had seen something, and she dragged the progress bar over and over again.
Seeing her serious expression, everyone gathered around her, pressing their eyes against the laptop screen.
The scene Jiang Xingyao kept repeating was none other than the one where the out-of-control food truck crashed into her.
Over and over again.
She didn't say anything, just watched quietly.
Ji Yunyin couldn't bear to watch any longer. She grabbed Jiang Xingyao's hand and stopped her, saying, "That's enough, Yaoyao, don't look anymore."
Jiang Xingyao finally came to her senses. She paused the progress bar and pointed to a man in the corner of the screen, saying, "It's him. Look at him."
The video was played again, and the progress bar returned to the moment when the dessert cart was first pushed out. After Jiang Xingyao's reminder, everyone saw that after the man in the corner nodded, the person holding the cart lost his balance, and the cart went out of control and spun wildly toward Jiang Xingyao.
Shen Ying took a deep breath and said, "How dare they do such a disgusting thing at my Shen family's banquet! Ah Su, give me a copy of the surveillance footage, and I'll go call the police right now."
Shen Ying was furious, and Shen Mingsu's expression wasn't much better. He still advised, "Calling the police now won't solve the fundamental problem. This matter was clearly orchestrated by someone. That Jiang Cancan is cunning. If we call the police directly, she can easily fool us. The most important thing now is to find these two people and have them identify them."
Shen Ying nodded, her face somewhat solemn, clearly thinking of something unpleasant.
Last time, Jiang Cancan was already in prison with a clear conviction, but she still got out easily.
If you want to kill her directly, you can't just rely on calling the police.
Shen Ying abandoned the idea of calling the police, but still copied a video from Shen Mingsu.
Shen Mingsu also wanted to go back and continue searching for the whereabouts of those two people.
He didn't stay in the ward for long before leaving.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunyin was left alone by Jiang Xingyao's side again.
Shen Mingsu left the notebook behind, and Ji Yunyin took it directly to the sofa. She pressed Jiang Xingyao down and said, "Be good, Yaoyao, don't look at it anymore. Leave this to us. The most important thing for you now is to get some rest."
I heard you want to go to the port city to participate in some piano competition. That's good too. Our Yaoyao is destined to shine. Let's get healthy, compete well, and bring back a championship to dazzle those idiots.
Jiang Xingyao is so dejected now, like a rag doll, she looks lifeless.
When Ji Yunyin spoke to her, she could only try to change the subject and pique her interest.
"Oh my, our Miss Ji, whose eyes are you trying to blind with your brilliance?" The door to the ward was pushed open at this moment, and Qin Jiangnan strode in, followed by Jiang Xingyao's attending physician.
Having clearly found out about Jiang Xingyao's situation, he teased Ji Yunyin before turning his gaze to Jiang Xingyao: "Jiang Xingyao, you really are... what can I say about you?"
How old are you? Don't you have any sense of caution towards others?
He's usually incredibly arrogant, but when it really matters, he can't even take care of himself. Seeing you like this, half-dead, makes me furious. Back then…”
"Qin Jiangnan, is this the time to talk about these things? How much better are you yourself?"
"Don't forget you used to fawn over Jiang Cancan too." Ji Yunyin interrupted him impatiently, then covered Jiang Xingyao's ears like she was coaxing a child, "Yaoyao, be good, we'll ignore him."
"I'm fine." Jiang Xingyao pushed Ji Yunyin's hand away. She looked at Qin Jiangnan, her voice hoarse but her gaze earnest. "Qin Jiangnan, I want to ask you for a favor."
"You want me to keep it a secret for you again, huh? Don't worry, I can't be bothered with what's going on between you two."
"If it weren't for the fact that we've known each other since we were kids, I wouldn't even bother to come see you." Qin Jiangnan said harshly, but his eyes kept glancing at Jiang Xingyao.
He remembered that when he was a child, in the eyes of his peers, Jiang Xingyao was always noble and proud, like a princess. When they got together, they couldn't even imagine what Jiang Xingyao would be like when she was down on her luck.
It's as if she was meant to remain arrogant forever.
But what about now?
In just a few short months, he witnessed Jiang Xingyao's broken and disheveled state time and time again.
“That’s not what I meant. I want you to go to Xiyuan and get my documents for me,” Jiang Xingyao said.
She hadn't expected anything to happen when she came to the banquet, so naturally she didn't carry any identification with her.
Qin Jiangnan paused for a moment: "Are you crazy? I'll go get your documents, from Brother Qingyu's place..."
“I’ve already told Lin Ma to hand it over to you. You just need to go to Xiyuan once,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Of all the people around her, Qin Jiangnan's trip to Xiyuan was the most open and least conspicuous.
Qin Jiangnan's expression was still slightly hesitant. After a while, he said, "Alright, consider it as me owing you for misjudging people before."
Jiang Cancan was brought into their circle by Jin Qingyu.
At that time, he had some acquaintance with Jin Qingyu, so he naturally had to take care of Jiang Cancan. Jiang Cancan always had that gentle and weak appearance, which made it easy for her to gain other people's trust.
Later, after seeing Jiang Xingyao's disheveled state time and time again, and realizing that everything did not match Jiang Cancan's description, Qin Jiangnan began to distance himself from Jiang Cancan.
After Qin Jiangnan left, Ji Yunyin asked Jiang Xingyao, "Yaoyao, what are your plans now? What about you and Jin Qingyu...?"
The problems in this marriage always need to be resolved.
Jiang Xingyao said, "I'll go to Gangcheng first to see what's going on. I estimate that by the time my injury heals, the competition will have started. This is my closest chance to turn things around, and this matter cannot be delayed."
Shen Ming is right. Instead of constantly trying to explain and prove himself, it's better to strengthen yourself first.
The reason she failed so miserably was simply because Cheng Jing had a professional image and was presented in a glamorous and sophisticated manner.
An idol who has studied abroad and has millions of fans in the entertainment industry is certainly more convincing than an unknown full-time housewife.
"I wanted to ask about your divorce from Jin Qingyu," Ji Yunyin said.
Although she had made a solemn promise to Shen Ying just now, Ji Yunyin couldn't help but frown now.
If Jin Qingyu remains adamant and refuses to budge, and the old man doesn't back down either, then even if Jiang Xingyao wants a divorce and it comes to the point of appealing, it won't be so simple.
Jiang Xingyao's pupils flickered. She said, "I know all these obstacles. In short, I'll leave the capital first and separate from him."
“Now that we’ve been separated for two years, we can indeed get a divorce, that’s one way,” Ji Yunyin said. Then, suddenly remembering something, she changed the subject, “But if you leave, what about Aunt Qu…”
“I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet, but I’ve already broken off all ties with her, and I won’t be involved in her affairs anymore,” Jiang Xingyao said.
She always thought that she couldn't completely be cold-hearted towards Qu Xinting.
Now that she has nothing left, all alone, and nothing left to cherish, she suddenly realizes that everything in the capital, including Qu Xinting, is actually not a big deal.
No, I don't want it anymore.
"Severing ties?" Ji Yunyin's expression changed, her face filled with surprise.
Ji Yunyin knew perfectly well how much Jiang Xingyao cared about Qu Xinting.
She knew that what Jiang Xingyao longed for most when she was a child was Qu Xinting's love.
Back then, no matter what honors Jiang Xingyao received at school, she would immediately run home to tell Qu Xinting.
Although everyone in their circle knew that Qu Xinting's attitude towards Jiang Xingyao was strange, young Jiang Xingyao always talked about her mother.
Back then, we were young, and many people spoke without thinking. Ji Yunyin remembers that a boy heard about Jiang Xingyao from somewhere and said at school that Qu Xinting was love-struck.
Jiang Xingyao, who never showed her emotions, attacked someone on the playground just because of one sentence.
Of course, she helped with that matter, and the result was that she and Jiang Xingyao both received demerits and were punished by having to write a self-criticism under the national flag.
That was the first time Jiang Xingyao, who was an excellent student, had been punished. After it was over, she cried out of shame.
Later, Ji Yunyin asked her, "Since you regret it so much, if you could do it all over again, would you still do it that way?"
Jiang Xingyao said without hesitation that she would, saying that it was her mother and she would not allow anyone to speak ill of her mother.
In the eight years since Grandpa Qu passed away, Jiang Xingyao has never given up searching for Qu Xinting.
Ji Yunyin never imagined that Jiang Xingyao, who cared so much about Qu Xinting, would one day casually reveal the fact that she and Qu Xinting had broken off their relationship.
Surprised as she was, she didn't ask anything, and gently tucked the blanket around Jiang Xingyao: "Whatever decision Yaoyao makes, I will support you. Go to sleep, I'll always be with you."
The ward fell silent, while Xiyuan Garden was in complete chaos.
