Chapter 86 Have you decided to go all out with me?
Jiang Xingyao's expression stiffened. Jin Qingyu said, "Grandpa, I've said before that we're not in a hurry about this."
"Just not in a hurry?" the old man questioned again.
He glanced in Jiang Xingyao's direction, then suddenly remembered something, and his expression turned somewhat dejected.
A child? Jin Qingyu and Jiang Xingyao's relationship is already on the verge of collapse, so it will probably be quite difficult to see their child.
The old man didn't say much about the matter in the end, but simply called Jin Qingyu to his study alone.
After the door closed, he asked, "Qingyu, are you really going to insist on doing things your own way?"
"You were the one who wanted Yaoyao back then. Now that you've married her, you should treat her with all your heart. As for your secretary..."
“Grandpa, I promised her, just for this month. And I can’t leave that matter uninvestigated. As for Yaoyao, I will treat her well from now on,” Jin Qingyu said.
The old man sighed heavily: "From now on, Grandpa just saw it, Yao Yao's eyes are cold. No one will stand still and wait for you forever."
Regarding your mother's matter, it's true that the Jin family wronged you, and Grandpa can't say much. But as for you and Yaoyao, you should think it over carefully yourself.
And that Jiang Cancan, she's not exactly a peaceful soul; you can't always trust what she says.
Jin Qingyu remained silent, as if he were resisting in silence.
The old man sighed heavily again, patted his shoulder gently, and didn't waste any more time on the matter. He simply changed the subject: "The Shen family is going to hold a homecoming banquet for their young CEO. I know you and that young CEO had a falling out before, but you're in the same circle after all. You and Yao Yao can go on my behalf."
"Young Master Shen" is none other than Shen Mingsu.
The thought of that name made Jin Qingyu feel a little irritated. He said, "Yaoyao has been in a bad mood lately, I can go by myself."
When Jin Qingyu came out of the study, only Jiang Xingyao was left in the living room.
She sat quietly on the sofa, her eyes slightly lowered, making it impossible to see her expression. Jin Qingyu couldn't help but think of the old man's words again.
Are your eyes cold?
His wife has always been like this; ever since he married her, she has always been this proud and aloof.
In fact, Jin Qingyu had always had a vague feeling that his wife didn't approve of him.
Come to think of it, one is a princess who has been pampered in this circle since childhood, and the other is a vicious dog who has struggled for many years to get to this position. The two of them are not a good match.
Just as he didn't understand the music Jiang Xingyao liked, just as Jiang Xingyao would never set foot in the chaotic urban village.
But so what?
He finally climbed into this circle, finally plucked that crescent moon, and Jiang Xingyao could only stay by his side in the end.
With a fierce possessive glint in his eyes, Jin Qingyu said, "Let's go, Mrs. Jin, it's time to go home."
Jiang Xingyao had been thinking about Jin Yanzhou, specifically about Jin Yanzhou's mysterious girlfriend.
Jin Yanzhou's wickedness was no less than that of Jin Qingyu. Jiang Xingyao felt that with his personality, it was impossible for him to be completely obedient to a woman.
Since the other party was already pregnant and the old man had tacitly approved, Jin Yanzhou still didn't bring her back. Rather than the excuse that the woman didn't want to show up, Jiang Xingyao was more willing to believe that Jin Yanzhou himself didn't want to take responsibility.
But if Jin Yanzhou didn't want to take responsibility, why did he show the pregnancy test results to the old man?
Would it be better to present the child to the old man openly so that the mother can leave and the child can stay?
These things had nothing to do with Jiang Xingyao, and she shouldn't have cared about them anyway. But she kept thinking about the figures she saw in the restaurant that day that looked just like Jin Yanzhou and Shen Ying, and the familiar perfume scent on Jin Yanzhou.
It couldn't be Shen Ying, could it?
Surely a successful and elegant woman like Sister Shen Ying wouldn't be so irrational as to be with Jin Yanzhou?
Jiang Xingyao was also unsure of what to do.
She only snapped out of her daze when Jin Qingyu called her name again.
When they returned to Xiyuan, Jiang Xingyao was still a little bothered.
"You've been restless ever since you came back from the old house. What are you thinking about?" Jin Qingyu asked.
Jiang Xingyao spoke to him in a rare gentle tone: "Have you heard of your older brother's girlfriend?"
"Is that what you're thinking about?" Jin Qingyu sat down next to Jiang Xingyao. He was a little surprised. His wife was actually quite aloof and didn't seem like the type to meddle in other people's business.
She's so distracted by Jin Yanzhou's situation now, which is quite different from her usual self.
Jiang Xingyao said vaguely, "I never expected that someone like my older brother would be so accommodating and obedient when it comes to love. He must love his girlfriend very much, right?"
She held a sliver of hope that she was just overthinking things, but the response she received was a light laugh from Jin Qingyu: "Give in and be obedient? It's more like you're willing to make a profit."
Jin Manchuan's offspring are not so noble.
He cursed Jin Yanzhou, and in doing so, he also cursed himself. Then he said to Jiang Xingyao, "Alright, Mrs. Jin, why bother with other people's business? Why don't we talk about ours? Jin Yanzhou already has a child, and we've been married for a year..."
"Jin Qingyu, I'm very tired today." Jiang Xingyao replied casually and went upstairs to the bedroom, leaving Jin Qingyu sitting alone on the sofa with a deep look in his eyes.
After a while, he called Assistant Xu and asked him to investigate Jin Yanzhou's girlfriend.
Jiang Xingyao held her phone, staring at Shen Ying's chat box for a long time. She typed and deleted a line of text repeatedly, but couldn't come up with a satisfactory message for a long time.
She wanted to ask Shen Ying if she had a boyfriend, or if she was familiar with Jin Yanzhou.
But no matter how she edited it, she felt it was too abrupt.
Shen Ying and Shen Mingsu helped her a lot. Whether it was when she was deeply involved in the plagiarism scandal, their efforts to protect her or their usual care made Jiang Xingyao feel indebted to them.
Seeing Jin Yanzhou's evasive behavior today, Jiang Xingyao had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened.
She was afraid that what she saw that day wasn't an illusion; she worried that Jin Yanzhou's girlfriend was Shen Ying.
These things are hard to explain over a phone, so Jiang Xingyao thought about it and finally decided to ask Shen Ying out for dinner.
Shen Ying called very quickly.
She said she was busy preparing for Shen Mingsu's homecoming banquet and didn't have much time, so she sent Jiang Xingyao an e-invitation to attend.
According to Shen Ying, this homecoming banquet is also a celebration for Shen Mingsu. He successfully acquired a film company that the Shen family had been negotiating with for a long time a couple of days ago. The people on the Shen family's board of directors are no longer making things difficult for Shen Mingsu. In short, this banquet is very important to Shen Mingsu, and Shen Ying hopes that she will attend as Shen Mingsu's first friend after returning to China.
The fact that the Shen family was hosting a banquet meant that Shen Hanzhi and other high-ranking members of the Shen Group would be there, which made Jiang Xingyao feel somewhat apprehensive.
But Shen Ying invited her repeatedly, and Jiang Xingyao also wanted to see Shen Ying, so she finally agreed.
Shen Ying was very happy and even offered to send a car to pick her up. She also said a lot of comforting words, just like a gentle and caring older sister.
The nicer she was to Jiang Xingyao, the more Jiang Xingyao wanted to find out about Jin Yanzhou.
Shen Mingsu's homecoming banquet is scheduled for three days from now.
Jiang Xingyao got up very early that day and made an appointment with a stylist to do her hair and makeup.
This time, without having to accompany Jin Qingyu on his appearance or have him pointing fingers around, Jiang Xingyao specially chose a slightly loose-fitting dress.
The light pink dress made her skin look as white and tender as snow, and the modern Chinese design gave her an elegant and intellectual air.
Her long, black hair was styled into a bun, adorned only with a single jade hairpin—simple yet elegant, understated yet impolite.
At 6:30 p.m., the Shen family's car arrived. Jiang Xingyao greeted Lin's mother and then went out.
The most important reason for the Shen family's actions this time was to create momentum for their new heir, Shen Mingsu, by booking the entire Bixiao Tower.
When Jiang Xingyao arrived, Shen Ying was standing at the door with her father, Shen Hanzhi, smiling and greeting people coming and going.
Jiang Xingyao felt a little awkward when she saw Shen Hanzhi again.
Shen Hanzhi remained remarkably calm, even smiling kindly at Jiang Xingyao: "Oh, it's Mrs. Jin. Please come in."
He acted like the most kind and gentle elder, as if the plagiarism scandal had never happened.
Shen Ying came over, took Jiang Xingyao's arm, and personally led her into the banquet hall: "Xingyao, go to the rest area and wait for me for a while. I'll be done here soon."
Jiang Xingyao agreed and took out the gift she had picked out for Shen Mingsu in advance from her bag, intending to give it to Shen Ying. However, Shen Ying refused, saying, "Since it's a gift for Asu, it's better if you give it to him personally."
Jiang Xingyao didn't insist and found a place to sit down.
Before long, she saw Shen Mingsu come down from upstairs, accompanied by several senior executives of the Shen Group, most of whom she had seen before in the conference room.
Shen Mingsu must have seen her. After saying something to the other Shen Group executives, he walked directly towards her.
His face still showed surprise: "Xingyao, what brings you here?"
"Sister Shen Ying asked me to come. Didn't she tell you?" Jiang Xingyao said as she took the gift.
She had no experience giving gifts to male friends, and this time she only bought a watch.
Shen Ming said, "My sister did say that I didn't think you would come. So, have you thought it through this time? Do you have an answer about the matter I suggested last time?"
After breaking off her relationship with Qu Xinting, Jiang Xingyao already had an answer in her heart. Just as Jiang Xingyao was about to speak, she looked up and saw Jin Qingyu walking in surrounded by a group of people. The person holding his arm was Jiang Cancan.
The two of them wore clothes of the same color scheme once again, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match.
Jiang Xingyao had no idea that Jin Qingyu would attend this banquet.
He didn't mention her at all, just so he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Cancan?
