Chapter 62 Jiang Cancan's Abnormality
cake?
Jiang Xingyao immediately thought of the time she bumped into Jin Qingyu and Jiang Cancan at the cake shop.
Could it be that she really misunderstood last time?
"The cake Mrs. Gu mentioned, is it pink, heart-shaped, and decorated with sugar pearls?" The words slipped out without thinking, and Jiang Xingyao couldn't help but regret it when she saw Mrs. Gu's surprised expression.
Mrs. Gu came with good intentions to comfort her, so how could she touch upon Mrs. Gu's sore spot by saying something inappropriate?
Jiang Xingyao was carefully considering how to explain.
Mrs. Gu looked surprised and said, "Mrs. Jin, how do you know so much? Could it be that your husband also gave you such an abstract cake before?"
She hesitated, her lips twitching slightly, before finally managing to describe the overly pink cake with the word "abstract."
“Yes, I did send it…” Jiang Xingyao hesitated.
Before the rest of the story could be finished, Mrs. Gu burst into laughter: "Hahaha, so that's how it is. I thought it was just something my husband was casually giving. Turns out, this is what men's taste is all about."
Mrs. Gu was much more easygoing than Jiang Xingyao had imagined. She quickly comforted herself and started chatting with Jiang Xingyao again.
The two quickly became acquainted and even exchanged contact information.
Mrs. Gu's real name is Zheng Ying. She claims that her marriage to Mr. Gu was arranged and that they had never met before their engagement.
However, from Mrs. Gu's words, Jiang Xingyao could vaguely tell that although she was complaining, she was still very satisfied with President Gu.
She especially liked being called Mrs. Gu. When Jiang Xingyao tried to call her by her real name, she refused.
Seeing Mrs. Gu like this, Jiang Xingyao thought of Qu Xinting again. She remembered that when she was a child, Qu Xinting had the family servants call her Mrs. Jiang.
Even when she later visited her maternal grandfather, she forbade the servants in the old house to call her "Miss".
For a while, my grandfather was very sad about this.
But in the end, he couldn't persuade Qu Xinting otherwise, so he had no choice but to let her have her way.
Mrs. Gu's reaction wasn't as exaggerated as Qu Xinting's, and Jiang Xingyao still couldn't understand why they could give up their original names for a man.
Jiang Xingyao and Mrs. Gu talked for about half an hour before Jin Qingyu returned.
Mrs. Gu tactfully got up and left.
Jin Qingyu sat down in front of Jiang Xingyao again and asked, "How did your chat with Mrs. Gu go?"
“It’s fine,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu said, "Mrs. Gu has only been in the capital for a short time, so you can spend more time with her."
Jiang Xingyao didn't respond to that. She was naturally slow to warm up to people, and apart from Ji Yunyin, she wouldn't usually take the initiative unless someone else asked her out.
Jiang Xingyao immediately changed the subject: "How's the situation going down there?"
“Jiang Yuncheng has left. There’s a dance party later. If you don’t want to go, just sit here for a while. I’ll come pick you up later,” Jin Qingyu said.
This answer was somewhat expected, but Jiang Xingyao still felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
Jin Qingyu added reassuringly, "You don't need to worry too much about your aunt. I've already told Cen Yan that if there's a chance, she should take your aunt to see about hypnosis."
The tricky part with Qu Xinting is that Jiang Yuncheng keeps a close eye on her, and Qu Xinting herself is also clingy to Jiang Yuncheng, making it really difficult for them to bring her out.
Knowing that there was no need to rush this matter, Jiang Xingyao nodded.
She didn't stay in the lounge; she went downstairs with Jin Qingyu.
The dance party downstairs has already started, and the melodious piano music keeps entering our ears.
Jin Qingyu sat with Jiang Xingyao for a while before being called away again.
As the piano music ended, a violin piece quickly followed. Jiang Xingyao saw a rather young man emerge from the performance area, followed by several assistants. For such an occasion, the entourage was quite impressive.
It should be the artist that Shen Ying mentioned who was recently signed by Dijing Entertainment.
Jiang Xingyao looked at him and saw that he was dressed very flamboyantly, with his hair dyed in several colors, his clothes were also extravagant, and various chains were hanging haphazardly on his body, jingling when he walked. He didn't look like someone who would calmly hone his music.
Before seeing this person, the most flamboyantly dressed person Jiang Xingyao had ever met was probably Qin Jiangnan, but compared to this person, Qin Jiangnan was still slightly inferior.
Perhaps Jiang Xingyao's gaze was too focused, for the man also noticed her, turned his head and gave her a rather dashing smile.
He does have a very good appearance, no wonder he debuted in a boy band before, but he is a bit frivolous, Jiang Xingyao thought.
"Sister, you like Cheng Jing too?" Jiang Cancan's voice suddenly came from the side. She had sat down next to Jiang Xingyao at some point and was asking with great interest.
The scent of freesia was incredibly distinct. Jiang Xingyao frowned, moved a little further away from her, and didn't say a word.
She hadn't expected that Jiang Cancan would stay after Jiang Yuncheng and Qu Xinting had both left, but it wasn't surprising.
Having been by Jin Qingyu's side for so long, Jiang Cancan is probably more adept at navigating this circle than Jiang Yuncheng.
Jiang Cancan added, "Cheng Jing is the most popular idol right now, and he's also very good-looking."
But his most impressive feature isn't his looks. He's having a concert in a few days, and all the pieces are his own compositions. It's going to be a huge event, so you can look forward to it, sister.
Jiang Cancan smiled, as if her words had a hidden meaning, and you could hear a hint of anticipation in her voice.
Jiang Xingyao frowned and said calmly, "I prefer listening to my sister promote drinks outside rather than any concert. By the way, have you been getting a lot of support lately? Do you want me to help you out a bit more?"
Jiang Cancan's smile froze instantly, and she said sarcastically, "Sister, don't be too smug. I just sent you a video, you haven't watched it yet, have you? I really don't know if you'll still be able to laugh after watching it."
Jiang Xingyao indeed hadn't looked at her phone.
Hearing Jiang Cancan's malicious voice, her expression turned cold again. She said, "A video, right? I only know that I can make you stop laughing right now."
She reached out, and under Jiang Cancan's still bewildered eyes, grabbed her hair and slammed Jiang Cancan's head onto the table.
Jiang Cancan was startled and screamed. She tried to pry Jiang Xingyao's hand away, saying, "Jiang Xingyao, you're going crazy again. Don't you know what kind of occasion this is?"
"No matter the occasion, it won't stop me from disciplining my sister who spews filth, right? This is our family matter, and it's not appropriate for others to interfere," Jiang Xingyao sneered.
She was already angry, and Jiang Cancan still came up to her and made a scene, so she had no choice but to teach Jiang Cancan a lesson.
Jiang Xingyao grabbed a glass of champagne and poured it over Jiang Cancan's head. The champagne flowed down her neck and into Jiang Cancan's collar, staining her white dress.
Jiang Xingyao slowly wiped her hands: "Jiang Cancan, this is just a warning. Show yourself in front of me less often in the future, or I'll tear you apart every time I see you."
Jiang Cancan raised her head.
She stared at Jiang Xingyao with a strange look in her eyes: "Really? Is your sister really sure she can stay this arrogant forever?"
Jiang Xingyao, no one can stay on your laurels forever. I look forward to seeing the day you fall.
Be sure to attend the concert at Imperial View Entertainment! There's a surprise waiting for you.
Jiang Cancan brought up the concert again, and Jiang Xingyao felt slightly uneasy. She asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Cancan said, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just concerned about my sister."
"Didn't my sister used to play the piano? She was even hailed as a child prodigy. Cheng Jing is about the same age as my sister. She's neglected the piano for so long. Maybe seeing this new generation of prodigies can help you rediscover your fighting spirit?"
Jiang Cancan's words were still sarcastic.
Jiang Xingyao felt that she probably wanted to use Cheng Jing to attack her.
Jiang Xingyao gave her a cold look and said, "Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself first. It's almost autumn, and the drinks probably won't sell as well as they did in the summer."
Jiang Cancan seemed to be stung by Jiang Xingyao's words. After giving Jiang Xingyao a fierce look, she hurriedly left.
Jiang Xingyao only turned on her phone after she left.
Jiang Cancan did indeed send her a video, which was about half an hour ago.
The people in the video are Jiang Yuncheng and Qu Xinting.
Jiang Xingyao clicked on it casually, and the woman's sharp voice first filled her ears. But what Jiang Xingyao couldn't bear to listen to even more was Qu Xinting's words of flattery to Jiang Yuncheng.
Does she care about Jiang Yuncheng that much? It's not enough for her to be Jiang Yuncheng's slave at home, she even has to manage the company for him.
Even though she knew that Qu Xinting might have been hypnotized to be acting this way, Jiang Xingyao still felt very uncomfortable looking at her in the video.
but…
If Qu Xinting goes to the company with Jiang Yuncheng, wouldn't it be easier for her to get close to him than if she stayed at the Jiang family home?
Jiang Yuncheng couldn't possibly be following her around the company 24/7, could he?
Jiang Xingyao was so engrossed in her own world that she didn't notice that the video hadn't been cut off and was playing on a loop.
When Jin Qingyu arrived, he could still hear Qu Xinting's shrill voice coming from the phone.
His expression turned slightly serious as he put his arm around Jiang Xingyao's shoulder: "Yaoyao, don't overthink it. Your aunt will definitely get better. Once she's better, she won't say things like that anymore."
“I’m fine,” Jiang Xingyao said. “Jiang Yuncheng has decided to take my mother to the company. Do you think you could try to find a hypnosis expert to sneak in and get to know my mother?”
If it really was Jiang Yuncheng who hypnotized my mother, she would definitely be on guard; Jiang Yuncheng can't find out about this.
She doesn't have any connections in this area herself, so she can only place her hopes on Jin Qingyu now.
After all, it was Jin Qingyu who threatened her with her mother's situation to force her to return to Xiyuan, so it's only right that she do something for him now.
Jin Qingyu said, "I'll look around first. If I can find something suitable, I'll make arrangements. But Yaoyao, this is still uncertain. You..."
"I know we can't have too high hopes, but we should still give it a try," Jiang Xingyao interrupted his words of comfort.
