Chapter 149 Have you found the murderer who killed your mother?
Jin Qingyu's demeanor suggested he was determined not to leave.
Qu Xinting didn't mention business. She gave Jin Qingyu a disgusted look: "Mr. Jin, why are you insisting on staying here? Which of my daughters is it for?"
As far as I know, you not only divorced Jiang Xingyao, but you also couldn't find any trace of her, right?
You've never been good to her, and you'd never get involved in these things for her sake, so you're doing this for Jiang Cancan's sake?
Jin Qingyu had only ever seen Qu Xinting before, either in her manic tone or leaning against Jiang Yuncheng like a little bird. This was the first time he had ever seen Qu Xinting with such a calm attitude and such a powerful aura.
He was even slightly distracted.
Qu Xinting said, "President Jin, I really don't understand you. When Yaoyao was alive, you hurt her in every way. Now that Yaoyao is gone, you let someone else look like her and stay by your side. And now it's even more interesting. Are you calling me mother-in-law because of Jiang Xingyao, or because of Jiang Cancan?"
Qu Xinting's questioning made Jin Qingyu feel a burning sensation on his face, even ashamed.
Every question the woman asked was sharp and incisive. He instinctively wanted to explain, but for a moment he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Qu Xinting said, "No matter who you're doing this for, I don't accept this so-called 'mother-in-law.' Get out."
Jin Qingyu's gaze once again fell upon Zhou Huaiyan.
Zhou Huaiyan simply gave him a helpless look: "Please, Mr. Jin, it seems my business partner doesn't welcome you."
Jin Qingyu said, "President Zhou, I can leave, but I hope you won't try anything underhanded in this cooperation. You know I'm the kind of person who doesn't consider the consequences of my actions. If you scheme against her, I won't let you get away with it."
The private room was silent; no one answered Jin Qingyu, as if he were talking to himself.
It wasn't until the door to the private room closed again that Zhou Huaiyan said, "He doesn't seem to completely disregard Xingyao."
Qu Xinting sneered: "Care? If he really cared about Yaoyao, he wouldn't let her be wronged and bullied time and time again."
Our Yaoyao used to be the most arrogant, but look what happened to her now. She's been trampled into the dust by him.
then…"
Qu Xinting wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhou Keyuan next to her, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She still said with disdain, "In the end, he's just used to having Yaoyao by his side, like a puppy or a kitten, and he teases her whenever he feels like it."
That's why they're so panicked now that they can't find anyone for the time being.
Yao Yao is such a simple-minded and kind-hearted child. She has so many concerns, which is why she is repeatedly manipulated by these despicable people.
It's better that she's gone now; otherwise, I would have had to consider her feelings in many things.
Zhou Huaiyan listened quietly to Qu Xinting's words, and he could sense the immense resentment in her voice.
He had investigated Qu Xinting; it turned out that she had suddenly changed her mind and insisted on marrying Jiang Yuncheng.
As for the reason, only Qu Xinting herself probably knows.
Now that he has gotten to know her, seeing that she is always plotting against the Jiang family and has no affection for Jiang Yuncheng whatsoever, Zhou Huaiyan feels that there must be a lot of strange things about what happened back then.
Zhou Keyuan seemed not to understand what Qu Xinting was saying, but that didn't stop him from pouring her a glass of hot water: "Xinxin, did someone bully you? Don't be angry, drink some water, I'll chase the bad guys away for you."
Qu Xinting tilted her head and glanced at Zhou Keyuan's eyes, which were now almost as clear as a child's, and her expression wavered slightly.
The coldness in her eyes eased slightly, and she thanked Zhou Keyuan.
Zhou Keyuan quickly shook his head: "Xinxin, you're welcome, it's nothing."
Qu Xinting tightened her grip on the cup, her eyes seemingly filled with boundless hatred once again.
She and Zhou Keyuan were childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for that scheme, she would definitely have married Zhou Keyuan, her father wouldn't have collapsed from anger, and her daughter Yaoyao wouldn't have suffered so much injustice.
Unfortunately, she realized it too late; everything was already gone. Even Yao Yao had married that heartless bastard Jin Qingyu. It was all her fault, and she had no face to see Yao Yao.
"Let's get down to business. The Jiang family doesn't have much cash left. If we want the new product to launch smoothly, Jiang Yuncheng will have to sell his properties. He came to my Qu family with nothing back then, and I'm going to make sure that the two of them leave with nothing. I'll need your cooperation later," Qu Xinting said.
“Aunt Qu, you don’t need to be so polite. Helping you get rid of the Jiang family is also my uncle’s wish,” Zhou Huaiyan said.
He then asked about the new product from the Jiang family that Qu Xinting had mentioned. Qu Xinting explained, "That formula was indeed left by my father. It's a special weight-loss drug, but there was a traitor in the company who stole the half-finished product of the formula."
The Qu family searched for a long time but couldn't find the prescription. Fearing something might happen, the father decided to be safe and stopped using the prescription.
So many years have passed, and the stolen prescription hasn't caused any trouble. I'm eager to bring down Jiang Yuncheng, and since I don't have anything else of value, I took it out first.
"So, with the current prescription... can this miracle drug still be marketed?" Zhou Huaiyan asked.
He was a little worried that Qu Xinting might act impulsively and risk squandering the Qu family's remaining assets in order to move to Jiang Yuncheng's place.
Qu Xinting nodded: "I'm using an improved formula, so there won't be any problems. It's just that I need to bankrupt Jiang Yuncheng before it's officially launched."
Hearing Qu Xinting's confident words, Zhou Huaiyan's worries eased a bit, and he then asked about the semi-finished recipe.
Meanwhile, in a hotel in the port city, Jin Qingyu had already asked his assistant, Xu, to find out about the project that the Zhou family wanted to cooperate with the Jiang family on.
He used his connections to get a bottle of the Jiang family's new medicine and had it tested by a professional institution.
Assistant Xu said, "Mr. Jin, Mrs. Jiang seems to have changed a lot from before. Today, the way she spoke made it sound like she cared a lot about her wife."
“Let’s wait and see about her attitude. The most important thing now is to find out what the new medicine produced by the Jiang family does. Is it really that effective that Zhou Huaiyan, who is only after profit, would be willing to cooperate with her?” Jin Qingyu said.
If Qu Xinting's new medicine is truly effective, it's normal that she could connect with the Zhou family, so he doesn't need to care too much about it.
However, Zhou Huaiyan's information network is far too extensive. He hadn't heard a word about the Jiang family's special medicine in the capital, but Zhou Huaiyan, a man from Hong Kong, was the first to approach Qu Xinting for cooperation.
After thinking about it over and over, he still felt that something was amiss.
Assistant Xu then asked, "Mr. Jin, it seems that your wife is indeed not in Hong Kong. When will we return to the capital?"
"Where is Jin Yanzhou? Has he returned to the capital?" Jin Qingyu asked.
Assistant Xu shook his head: "I don't know what President Yan Zhou has been doing lately. He's been quite mysterious, and I haven't seen him say anything in the company group chat."
Jin Qingyu frowned, recalling the last time Jin Yanzhou suddenly disappeared for a long time. He said, "Book a flight back to the capital, and also arrange for someone to stay and keep an eye on Jin Yanzhou."
And Jiang Cancan, you absolutely must send her for plastic surgery.
Assistant Xu didn't think much of the first part of the instruction, but the second part made him frown deeply.
Once again, I felt that Jiang Cancan was troublesome.
She clearly has her own face, yet she insists on getting plastic surgery to look like the wife. Does she think that this will allow her to replace the wife?
What's the difference between this and burying your head in the sand?
When the plane landed in the capital, the results of the test of the special medicine that Jin Qingyu had sent for testing finally came back.
In a laboratory, an elderly man with graying temples was waiting for him. When Jin Qingyu saw him, his attitude immediately became polite: "Uncle Wei, how is it? Is there a problem with this medicine?"
The elderly man, addressed as Uncle Wei, shook his head: "This is a weight-loss drug, there's nothing wrong with it, and it works very well, it's just..."
"Just what?" Jin Qingyu asked.
Uncle Wei took out a slightly yellowed report and placed it next to this brand-new report, then handed it to Jin Qingyu: "Ayu, take a look for yourself. One of the papers on this paper is a sample extracted from your mother's blood, and it contains 80% of the same ingredients as the weight loss pills you gave me."
The previous drug could achieve rapid weight loss, but it lacked neutralizing ingredients and directly damaged the body's functions until it drained all energy and completely killed the person.
That was actually a half-finished product.
The one you're giving me now is the one that has already been researched and completed.
There are no side effects.
Where did you get this medicine? Have you found the person who killed your mother back then?
The two reports were placed in front of Jin Qingyu. Just as Uncle Wei had said, the yellowed report was missing a few ingredients.
Jin Qingyu seemed to see his mother's emaciated appearance before her death, and the obvious needle mark on her wrist.
Therefore, what they injected their mother with before was this semi-finished product, and his mother became a test subject for drug trials.
Just thinking about this possibility filled Jin Qingyu with resentment.
Assistant Xu whispered from the side, "President Jin, please calm down. Even if this medicine comes from the Qu family, the people who harmed your mother back then may not have been from the Qu family."
After all, they have no grudge against your mother. Even if they really needed someone to test the drug on, to put it bluntly, there are plenty of beggars on the street; no one would notice. Why bother going to the trouble of looking for your mother?
Jin Qingyu was well aware of what Assistant Xu was saying, but when these events from more than ten years ago were brought back to his attention, he still couldn't control his emotions.
Uncle Wei was a little surprised: "You said this medicine comes from the Qu family? Wait a minute, let me look for it. I remember the Qu family had a medicine before, but it seems that it failed to be successfully launched for some reason."
