Chapter 248 It turns out Qu Xinting is far more outstanding than she imagined.
Jin Qingyu had never realized before that Lin Ma had so much to say.
He glared at Lin's mother several times before she finally left, turning back to look at him every few steps.
Jin Qingyu said, "It seems she really has been looking forward to your return. She used to ignore me, but now that you're back, she's become much more talkative."
Jiang Xingyao said, "Lin Ma has always been very good to me since then."
Although at the beginning, without knowing the truth, she advised Jiang Xingyao not to get a divorce, and there was even a small conflict between them, Lin Ma was really good to Jiang Xingyao later, and Lin Ma was very important to Jiang Xingyao.
When the topic of whether it was good or bad for Jiang Xingyao came up, Jin Qingyu's expression became a little awkward, especially since they were currently in Xiyuan.
Jin Qingyu said somewhat awkwardly, "I will treat you very well in the future too."
“No need.” Jiang Xingyao’s tone was even more curt than his.
Jin Qingyu was even more embarrassed, and he awkwardly changed the subject: "What are your plans for the press conference? If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Jiang Xingyao said, "Then please help me invite some trustworthy media outlets to prepare. If my mother cannot wake up, I will attend in her place."
This press conference is very important for the company that has been renamed Qu's, and it is also very important for Qu Xinting. Jiang Xingyao must not let anything go wrong.
She knew very well that since graduating, she had been Jin Qingyu's full-time housewife and knew nothing about the business world. In this matter, she really should ask Jin Qingyu for advice.
After dinner, Jin Qingyu took Jiang Xingyao to the music room. Since Jiang Xingyao left, the piano had not been touched. Jin Qingyu waited for Jiang Xingyao to test the sound first, and after she confirmed that everything was fine, he said, "Then I'll be going now. If you need anything, just call me from home. I haven't changed my phone number."
Even though their relationship had clearly improved, he did not insist that Jiang Xingyao add his contact information back.
Everything was done with proper restraint, without putting any pressure on Jiang Xingyao.
Jin Qingyu had just left Xiyuan and hadn't even driven back to his residence when Old Master Jin called: "Good lad, I heard you brought Yaoyao back to Xiyuan."
So, have you two made up? When are you bringing her to the old house for dinner?
The old man's timing was so precise; it's no surprise that it was Lin Ma who notified him.
Jin Qingyu said, "It's not exactly a reconciliation. She's staying at Xiyuan temporarily. As for going back to the old house for dinner, Grandpa, you should probably forget about it. She probably won't go, and I don't want to put any pressure on her."
"I didn't realize you could have such awareness."
"Jin Qingyu, I'm warning you, since you're staying by Yao Yao's side, you'd better keep your temper in check. If you dare to do anything outrageous again, I'll kick you out of the Jin family." The old man's voice suddenly turned stern on the phone.
Jin Qingyu said, "No, I will learn to respect her wishes and will no longer make her do things she doesn't like or want to do."
"Then I'll trust you one more time. Alright, I'm hanging up. Remember to take good care of Yao Yao. You did so many wrong things before, so whatever she does to you is what she should do. Don't feel wronged or resentful."
Jin Qingyu knew perfectly well that the old man's main purpose in calling was to test him.
Grandpa didn't actually distrust him; he still suspected that he had forcibly brought Jiang Xingyao back to Xiyuan.
Ultimately, all of this was due to his own mistakes, so Jin Qingyu had nothing to feel aggrieved about.
Jiang Xingyao thought that if she returned to Xiyuan, she would have all sorts of wild thoughts and wouldn't be able to sleep.
But she never expected that today's sleep would be the most restful she had slept in a long time.
I woke up at seven in the morning.
Lin's mother had also prepared breakfast, a whole table full of dishes, from soy milk and fried dough sticks to steamed buns and millet porridge, and even sandwiches. Almost every kind of food available in the market was there.
Upon seeing Jiang Xingyao, she quickly greeted her.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Aunt Lin, it's just the two of us, why did you do so much? Didn't you have to get up before five o'clock?"
"Miss Yaoyao just came back, and I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted you to be able to eat what you like."
By the way, you just said it's just the two of us, isn't the gentleman coming over?
"I don't know, they probably won't come," Jiang Xingyao said. "Let's sit down and eat together. Take these down and distribute them to the servants so we won't have to prepare so much in the future."
Lin's mother quickly agreed, and wisely refrained from asking Jiang Xingyao any further questions about Jin Qingyu.
She could see it now: even though the wife had returned, she and the husband didn't seem to want to reconcile. The two of them were much more distant and polite than friends.
Worried that Lin's mother would prepare so many dishes for lunch, Jiang Xingyao found a sticky note after finishing her meal, wrote down two simple home-style dishes, and gave them to Lin's mother before going to the music room.
Qu Xinting is being cared for by caregivers, and Jiang Xingyao has also added their contact information. Whenever they change shifts, they will tell Jiang Xingyao about Qu Xinting's situation in detail.
The person hasn't woken up yet, so there's no point in Jiang Xingyao going there now. For her, the right thing to do is to hurry up and write out the song for the press conference.
For the next few days, Jiang Xingyao immersed herself in her creative work.
Jin Qingyu was either busy at the company or intentionally didn't want to bother her, so he only came once, had a meal, and left.
Jiang Xingyao finally finished writing the song just two days before the press conference.
Qu Xinting still hadn't woken up, so Jiang Xingyao had no choice but to go to the press conference alone.
For the remaining two days, she first went to see Zhou Huaiyan to learn about the situation of this special medicine, and then made an appointment with her stylist and ordered a dress.
On the last day, she went to the hospital to see Qu Xinting and then went to the Qu family's office.
Jiang Xingyao originally thought that since she had never interfered in the Qu family's affairs, this trip would not be smooth and she might face a lot of difficulties. She specially set aside a day to deal with these issues.
But once she arrived at the destination, she realized that all her worries were unnecessary.
The people Jiang Yuncheng left behind have all been eliminated by Qu Xinting.
Everyone here, from the receptionist to the management, seemed to know her. After meeting her, they were all exceptionally polite and called her "Miss." She had no trouble getting around at all.
Even when Jiang Xingyao called a meeting, everyone cooperated. In the meeting room, Qu Xinting's assistant told Jiang Xingyao that after Qu Xinting cleaned up Jiang Yuncheng's remaining followers, she clearly told everyone that she, Jiang Xingyao, was Qu Xinting's only heir and that they should treat her as if they were seeing themselves.
Qu Xinting had already arranged everything for the press conference in an orderly manner, so Jiang Xingyao didn't have to put in much effort to figure out the whole process after she arrived.
She briefly explained her ideas, and it only took an hour to finalize everything.
Jiang Xingyao did not leave immediately. She followed Qu Xinting's assistant to tour the newly renovated Qu family business.
When her maternal grandfather passed away, Jiang Xingyao was still too young. She couldn't quite remember what the Qu family was like under his management, but subconsciously she seemed to be certain that no matter how powerful her grandfather was back then, the Qu family's situation would not be any different from what it is now.
Previously, she only remembered Qu Xinting surrounding Jiang Yuncheng, and never knew that her mother, who had always been groomed as the heir, was actually so outstanding.
But Jiang Yuncheng broke her back with a deception, turning her into a living joke in this circle.
Even after leaving the Qu family, Jiang Xingyao's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
Jin Qingyu's car was parked in front of the Qu family's house. He leaned against the car, quietly waiting for Jiang Xingyao. There was no worry on his face. Clearly, the current situation of the Qu family was already within his expectations.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
Jin Qingyu hadn't visited her much in the past few days, so Jiang Xingyao was inevitably surprised to see him suddenly.
Jin Qingyu said, "I'm here to pick you up for dinner. Don't be nervous tomorrow, I'll go with you."
"I was quite nervous at first, but after today I suddenly wasn't nervous anymore. My mom has already arranged everything, and it seems that apart from me standing on the stage and saying a few words, there's nothing else for me to do."
I never knew she was so amazing.
"I will definitely do my best tomorrow and I absolutely cannot let her down," Jiang Xingyao said.
She was exceptionally excited, and when Qu Xinting's matter was mentioned, she also felt a sense of pride.
Jin Qingyu said, "Absolutely not, our Yaoyao is also very capable."
He opened the car door for Jiang Xingyao, his eyes filled with trust as he looked at her.
On the day of the press conference, before going to the scene, Jiang Xingyao visited Qu Xinting at the hospital again. Looking at the other's peaceful sleeping face, her determination became more and more firm.
At the press conference, the venue was already packed with people, and various media outlets had gathered, their cameras and microphones scanning the stage. In such a grand occasion, Jiang Xingyao felt a great sense of peace when she glanced at the senior executives of the Qu family in the audience.
These are the sources of confidence and support that Qu Xinting left her; she has nothing to fear.
Jin Qingyu and Zhou Huaiyan arrived and sat in the front seats of the stands, as if silently supporting her.
This reminded Jiang Xingyao of how, when she was single-mindedly focused on marrying Jin Qingyu, her only thought was to use Jin Qingyu's influence to take back the Qu family.
After going around in circles, Jin Qingyu finally sat in the audience to support her, just like in her dream, but she no longer needed him.
The press conference started quickly. Jiang Xingyao had already memorized her speech. Her words were powerful and clear as she spoke about the hard work Qu Xinting and her grandfather had put into this project. It was as if the two of them had never left her.
After the speech, the interview session began quickly. A reporter suddenly asked, "Ms. Jiang, I heard that this project was completed by your parents, but you only mentioned your mother and your maternal grandfather, and didn't mention your father at all."
Furthermore, as far as I know, your mother forced your father to leave the house with nothing before the project was completed. Is there some hidden reason behind this? Or did your mother want to claim all the credit for herself?
