Chapter 97 Jin Qingyu has come to Hong Kong?
The autumn sun was warm but not glaring.
The sunlight felt warm and comforting on people.
Shen Ying led Jiang Xingyao through the streets of the port city, occasionally introducing her to everything around them.
She knows exactly which restaurants are good and which places are great for taking photos.
Looking at Shen Ying's intellectual and generous demeanor, Jiang Xingyao asked, "Sister Shen Ying, have you stayed in Hong Kong for a long time?"
Shen Ying said, "No, it's just that when Asu was here before, I would come here to play occasionally, so I'm quite familiar with this area."
If it's any further away, I wouldn't know, but after your competition, we can explore together.
She was always poised and elegant, radiating a gentle light and exuding confidence.
When Jiang Xingyao saw Shen Ying, she couldn't help but think of her past self.
If her grandfather hadn't had that accident, she could have grown up smoothly, done what she loved, and shone brightly in her field of expertise, instead of living such a chaotic life where she can't hold onto anything or leave anything behind.
Fortunately, it's not too late. She's still young and has plenty of time to start over and strive to realize her dreams.
Shen Ying took Jiang Xingyao to several stores, and in the end Jiang Xingyao chose a cheongsam with a light green background. The fresh green color was like the grass that had just sprouted in spring, and it looked full of vitality. Jiang Xingyao liked it very much.
After choosing the dress and scheduling a time with the stylist, it was already afternoon.
The two of them found a coffee shop for afternoon tea.
During their casual conversation, Jiang Xingyao thought of the topic she hadn't asked that day.
She hesitated for a moment, then tried to probe indirectly: "Sister Shen Ying, what brand is your perfume? It smells so unique, I think I smelled it at the Jin family's old house."
"The Jin family's old residence?" Shen Ying repeated, her hand reaching out to pick up the coffee cup pausing slightly. She then said, "I just bought it casually at the mall before, probably because it's a fairly common brand. What, does someone in the Jin family use this perfume?"
“He’s Jin Qingyu’s older brother. He seems to have a rather mysterious girlfriend who uses this perfume. I smelled it on him the other day, and it seemed familiar. Then I remembered that it’s the same perfume as Sister Shen Ying’s.” As she spoke, Jiang Xingyao’s gaze fell on Shen Ying. She asked, “Sister Shen Ying, do you know Jin Yanzhou?”
"I know him. I met him abroad before." Shen Ying didn't hide anything. As if her interest had been piqued, she stirred her coffee and casually asked, "What's the story with that mysterious girlfriend of his?"
She seemed to be just casually asking a question, like friends gossiping. But Jiang Xingyao, who had been watching her, noticed that her fingernails, which were gripping the spoon, were a bit white, a color that only appears when gripping too tightly.
Shen Ying wasn't as calm as she appeared; there was probably something between her and Jin Yanzhou.
Jiang Xingyao frowned. She had only been testing the waters to gauge Shen Ying's attitude, but now it seemed she would have to tell her what had happened.
Jin Yanzhou clearly had no intention of bringing his girlfriend back to the old house.
Since Shen Ying usually takes such good care of her, and she already knows about this, she can't help but remind her.
Jiang Xingyao said, "That day was also an accident. Jin Qingyu and I ran into Jin Yanzhou in the gynecology department of the hospital. Later, the two brothers had a little unpleasantness, which led to the old man. The old man even saw Jin Yanzhou's girlfriend's pregnancy test results."
The old man asked Jin Yanzhou to bring the woman back, but Jin Yanzhou said that the woman had no plans to get married for the time being and did not want to meet anyone.
Sister Shen Ying, isn't it strange? How could there be a girl...?
"Did he really say that? That the woman didn't want to see anyone?" Jiang Xingyao's words, which she hadn't even finished with feigned emotion, were interrupted by Shen Ying.
Shen Ying's tone was a little urgent. When she met Jiang Xingyao's gaze, she explained awkwardly, "I'm just a little curious, are there really girls who are already pregnant but don't want to meet their boyfriend's family?"
Even though Shen Ying concealed it well, Jiang Xingyao still heard a hint of self-mockery in her words.
My suspicions were confirmed time and time again.
Jiang Xingyao also realized that it wasn't that Shen Ying didn't want to go home with Jin Yanzhou, but that Jin Yanzhou himself didn't want to take her home.
Jiang Xingyao looked at Shen Ying, who still had that elegant and intellectual demeanor, but Jiang Xingyao seemed to see a hint of sorrow in her.
Jiang Xingyao knew all too well the feeling of loving someone passionately to the point of disappointment and despair. Her hand instinctively went to her lower abdomen. To this day, she still remembered the feeling of her child slowly leaving her in the cold pool water, as if her life was being drained away along with it.
When Jiang Xingyao first arrived in the port city, she would often dream of her child whom she had never met, calling her "Mom" with heart-wrenching cries.
Every morning when she opens her eyes, her pillow is soaked with sweat. If it weren't for the piano competition that keeps her on her toes and forces her to work hard, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of those heart-wrenching dreams yet.
She knew very well that even now, she was just deliberately controlling herself from thinking about it.
She was just trying her best to suppress her emotions and force herself to calm down.
She only had to endure this kind of suffering once; Jiang Xingyao couldn't bear to watch Shen Ying repeat her mistakes.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Yes, not meeting the parents or friends, this is not a normal romantic relationship at all. I don't think any girl would choose this. Maybe Jin Yanzhou has some other plans."
Grandpa Jin is very pushy about having children. When Jin Qingyu and I got married, Grandpa Jin personally promised that as long as the eldest grandson of the Jin family was born, I would receive 10% of the shares. Jin Yanzhou might be after that.
Jiang Xingyao wasn't sure what Jin Yanzhou was thinking, so she could only exaggerate the situation to try and bring Shen Ying to her senses.
Shen Ying has her own career and a happy family. She shouldn't be a secret girlfriend of Jin Yanzhou just because of love.
In other words, if Jin Yanzhou truly loved Shen Ying, how could he not introduce her to anyone around him?
Jiang Xingyao's words this time plunged Shen Ying into a long silence.
After a while, she stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Jiang Xingyao saw that she was holding her phone when she left, and guessed that she might be thinking of calling Jin Yanzhou.
Jiang Xingyao only hoped that Shen Ying could get out of the mire this time.
The water from the tap was gushing out. Shen Ying scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face. The water droplets covered the tears in the corners of her eyes. She quickly washed her face, looked at her lost and dejected face in the mirror, and gave a self-deprecating smile.
The phone was right next to her, but the thought of calling Jin Yanzhou vanished when the cold water was splashed on her.
Five years—this is the fifth year she has been Jin Yanzhou's girlfriend.
Everyone around her knew Jin Yanzhou, but no one around Jin Yanzhou knew her, Chen Ying.
It's quite ironic.
Shen Ying thought that if it weren't for Jiang Xingyao today, she wouldn't even know that the Jin family's old house knew about her pregnancy. Even so, Jin Yanzhou didn't take her to meet his family.
Her fingertip lingered on Jin Yanzhou's number for a long time, but Shen Ying ultimately didn't dial it. She decided it was better to wait until she returned to the capital and talk to Jin Yanzhou face to face about this.
Jiang Xingyao waited for about half an hour, but Shen Ying did not return. She couldn't help but worry. She got up to look for her when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Assistant Xu.
He didn't see Jiang Xingyao, and after buying two cups of coffee, he hurriedly left.
Through the glass window of the cafe, Jiang Xingyao saw him get into a Rolls-Royce with a Hong Kong license plate, a leopard number, six eights.
Jiang Xingyao's mind was in turmoil. He noticed that Assistant Xu got into the passenger seat, and there was clearly someone in the back seat.
Without even thinking, she knew it must be Jin Qingyu.
As Jin Qingyu's confidant, Assistant Xu rarely separated from Jin Qingyu.
Why would Jin Qingyu come to Gangcheng?
Did he find her?
Jiang Xingyao lowered her head, a hint of unease flashing across her face.
"Xingyao, what's wrong?" When Shen Ying came back, she noticed that Jiang Xingyao's complexion wasn't much better than hers, and she asked in surprise.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Jin Qingyu seems to be in Gangcheng. Sister Shen Ying, I've been preparing for this piano competition for a long time, and I'm afraid something might go wrong."
Shen Ying looked somewhat surprised, but she still patted Jiang Xingyao on the shoulder and said, "No, Xingyao, I think you must be seeing things."
During the few days you were away from the capital, Jin Qingyu was first tricked by the Qin family into going to Shenzhen. After staying in Shenzhen for a day and a night, he was tricked into going to Chongqing.
The Jin family patriarch was furious with him because he neglected company affairs, and Ah Su also found something wrong with Jiang Cancan, causing quite a stir. He's probably too busy dealing with his own problems to come to Shenzhen right now.
Could it be that she's seeing things?
Listening to Shen Ying's words of comfort, Jiang Xingyao also felt that Jin Qingyu shouldn't have time to come to Shenzhen at this time.
Shen Mingsu had already briefly mentioned Jiang Cancan's matter when he called her yesterday.
He obtained the recording of Jiang Cancan hiring someone to commit murder, and posted it online along with the surveillance footage. The incident caused a great stir online and directly attracted the attention of the police.
Jiang Cancan was taken away for investigation.
With the influence of online public opinion, it won't be as easy for Jin Qingyu to get the person out again as it was last time.
Jiang Xingyao had also seen the statement issued by Shen Mingsu in the name of the Shen family. Under the official Weibo account, there was a flood of insults directed at Jiang Cancan.
Given how much Jin Qingyu cares about Jiang Cancan, he couldn't possibly ignore her.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xingyao finally felt a sense of relief.
Both she and Shen Ying were not feeling well, so they lost interest in shopping and went straight home.
