Chapter 252 Jin Qingyu, This Time I'm Willing to Believe You
Qu Xinting had been awake for some time, and Jin Qingyu had wanted to tell Jiang Xingyao the news for a long time, but Qu Xinting herself had kept it from him and from everyone else.
Since Jiang Xingyao left, Jin Qingyu has been visiting Qu Xinting every day. Before, Qu Xinting ignored him, but now that time has passed, she has probably seen Jin Qingyu's sincerity, and her attitude has gradually softened.
While not exactly enthusiastic, at least we can now speak calmly and rationally.
Qu Xinting said, "I haven't figured out how to face her yet."
“But she has already forgiven you. Yao Yao has always been soft-hearted, and she has never truly blamed you. If she knew you had woken up, she would definitely come to see you immediately,” Jin Qingyu said.
Qu Xinting shook her head again: "Forget it, isn't her competition about to start? I shouldn't bother her until after her competition..."
“When she has her competition, I’ll take you to meet her. She’ll be very happy to know you’ll be there,” Jin Qingyu interrupted Qu Xinting.
Qu Xinting didn't refuse this time, but her voice was a little stiff: "There are some things I still have to say. Don't think that by flattering me now, you can get me to agree to you being with Yao Yao."
I remember every single one of the injustices you caused her.
"I took care of you out of my own good intentions. I will not expect anything in return, nor will I use this to threaten Yao Yao. You can rest assured."
To be honest, it's a good thing for me to have you overseeing Yao Yao's choices now, so that no random people will take advantage of her soft heart and try to get close to her in the future.
Mother-in-law, this is a very important matter concerning Yaoyao's future. You must carefully consider all the people who will be around Yaoyao from now on, and treat them all equally.
Jin Qingyu's voice was pointed, and Qu Xinting frowned deeply: "How many times have I told you, don't call me mother-in-law."
“You say yours, I’ll say mine, there’s no conflict.” Jin Qingyu said with a smile, though he seemed quite stubborn about this matter.
Qu Xinting glared at him fiercely. She had tried to correct him many times during this period, but to no avail. She said with some annoyance, "You're so glib. I really don't know what Jiang Xingyao saw in you."
Jiang Xingyao didn't even look at him, which is why he had to work even harder. Of course, Jin Qingyu didn't say any of this to Qu Xinting. He just said, "My mother-in-law hasn't agreed to me yet. It's okay if you don't like me, as long as you don't show favoritism." He then resolutely went on to make things difficult for everyone around Xingyao.
Qu Xinting rolled her eyes: "You really are a loser who harms others without benefiting yourself."
Jin Qingyu said, "I'm doing this for Yaoyao's sake. If I can't even pass your test, how can I prove my sincerity towards Yaoyao?"
I've always believed that only those who persevere to the end deserve to stand by Yao Yao's side.
"Ha, Mr. Jin is so confident now. Be careful he doesn't get burned one day while playing with fire," Qu Xinting said sarcastically.
Even though she saw that he genuinely repented, Qu Xinting had no good feelings towards someone who had hurt her daughter.
Jin Qingyu changed the subject: "What would you like to eat today, Mother-in-law? I'll go and prepare it for you."
He stayed by Qu Xinting's side, cracking jokes and making light of things. When he was around, the caregivers couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Besides Jin Qingyu, Zhou Keyuan and Zhou Huaiyan were the most frequent visitors to the hospital.
When Jin Qingyu first appeared by Qu Xinting's side, Zhou Huaiyan was wary of him. But gradually, he realized that Jin Qingyu was genuinely taking care of Qu Xinting, even more so than all the caregivers combined. So Zhou Huaiyan just went along with it.
Even on the day Qu Xinting was discharged from the hospital, Jin Qingyu rushed to pick her up before Zhou Huaiyan. He also thoughtfully arranged for someone to clean the Jiang residence in advance and change the name on the door plaque back to Qu residence.
Gradually, almost everyone in the circle knew that Jin Qingyu had recently gone to great lengths to please Qu Xinting, doing everything he could to win her over, all for Jiang Xingyao's sake.
If Jiang Xingyao hadn't changed her phone number long ago and didn't have many people's contact information, the news of Qu Xinting waking up would have reached her ears long ago.
Jin Qingyu was determined to curry favor with Qu Xinting, and even on New Year's Eve, he took the initiative to come to the Qu Mansion to spend the day with her.
Qu Xinting said, "I thought you were going to go see Yaoyao today. I heard that the Shen family's son went abroad. Aren't you worried?"
"My mother-in-law also said that Yaoyao is preparing for a competition soon, and my going there would only cause her trouble. It would be better to take good care of you."
Besides, if I go there at a time like this and accidentally let something slip, wouldn't I end up pleasing neither side? It's better not to go," Jin Qingyu said.
"You're so calm?"
“That definitely wouldn’t have worked before, but now I have my mother-in-law, don’t I?”
"Anyway, with Yao Yao's mother-in-law overseeing things, even if Shen Mingsu wins Yao Yao over, it's useless if he can't get past his mother-in-law, right?" Jin Qingyu said.
He's been so glib lately, and Qu Xinting is too lazy to correct him. She says, "Call Yao Yao later and wish her a Happy New Year."
Jin Qingyu also knew that Qu Xinting's words did not necessarily mean she agreed to his relationship with Jiang Xingyao; she simply wanted to hear Jiang Xingyao's voice herself.
He got Jiang Xingyao's number from the caregiver, but he never called her using his own phone.
Jiang Xingyao's attitude has softened considerably. Jin Qingyu probably knows that even if he takes the initiative to contact Jiang Xingyao, she might not block him again. But he still tries to play the victim on Qu Xinting's behalf first: "Mother-in-law, Yaoyao doesn't like me taking the initiative to contact her. I'm doing this for you. If she's really unhappy, you'll have to protect me in the future."
Qu Xinting was speechless at Jin Qingyu's hesitant manner. She said, "Since Mr. Jin is so worried, let's not call anymore. Yaoyao should be celebrating the New Year with Young Master Shen right now, and she probably won't have time for you. Let's not call..."
Before Qu Xinting could finish speaking, Jin Qingyu dialed the number. He deliberately put the phone on speakerphone and placed it right in front of Qu Xinting, causing her to stop speaking abruptly.
Even though she knew that Jiang Xingyao on the other end of the phone couldn't see what was happening here, she still pursed her lips nervously.
The phone rang for a while before being answered. Jin Qingyu said directly, "Yaoyao, it's me. Happy New Year."
When the very calm voice came through the microphone, Jiang Xingyao was a little stunned. She had never imagined that one day she would hear Jin Qingyu wish her a Happy New Year so calmly.
"Happy New Year," Jiang Xingyao replied. Along with her voice, Shen Mingsu's voice came from afar: "Yaoyao, the dumplings are ready, come and eat."
"Are you going to eat?" Jin Qingyu asked. "What a coincidence, my mother-in-law and I are also going to eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with Qu Xinting's cold gaze. On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xingyao's voice was a little agitated: "Jin Qingyu, what do you mean by that? Has my mother woken up?"
Qu Xinting glared at Jin Qingyu again, as if as a warning. Jin Qingyu said slowly, "No, I'm at the hospital with my mother-in-law. I'm sorry, Yao Yao, I promised to pursue you, but I can't come to see you for the New Year this year."
He changed the subject himself, but Qu Xinting's expression was still not very good. She knew that this guy was very cunning and would always find ways to ask for credit and rewards.
Qu Xinting could imagine that her soft-hearted daughter was probably feeling guilty again. She glared at Jin Qingyu and mouthed, "You should stop now."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xingyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Jin Qingyu."
"No need to thank me. I already told you I wanted to pursue you. I can't let my mother-in-law be all alone in the hospital on New Year's Eve. This is what I should do."
"By the way, Yao Yao, when you have your competition, I'll bring my mother-in-law to watch you." Jin Qingyu said.
He was only asked to make a New Year's call, but he kept bringing up topics that Jiang Xingyao couldn't refuse each time. Qu Xinting's brows furrowed even deeper. This man had too many thoughts in his mind. It was probably normal for Jiang Xingyao to fall for him.
"My mother hasn't woken up yet, so why did you bring her here? Jin Qingyu, what trick are you trying to pull now?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
Jin Qingyu said, "Isn't the competition broadcast live in various countries? I'll watch it with my mother-in-law at the hospital. Maybe she'll wake up when she hears the news of your award?"
"Jin Qingyu, you're just teasing people," Jiang Xingyao said. Just now, there were several moments when she really thought Qu Xinting had already woken up.
Jin Qingyu said, "I'm not kidding you, I'm telling the truth. Your mother-in-law loves you so much, she definitely won't be absent from such an important occasion."
Even if it's just to witness your glory, she will surely wake up.
"Jin Qingyu, although I've long since stopped believing in you, I hope that everything you say will come true in this matter."
When Jiang Xingyao's voice came through the microphone in a foreign land, it sounded so soft that it seemed a little distorted.
Jin Qingyu said confidently, "Yaoyao's New Year's wishes will definitely come true. Our Yaoyao, we must make her dreams come true."
Even after the call ended, Jiang Xingyao could still almost hear Jin Qingyu's firm voice. His words seemed to give her immense confidence, making her even more eager for the Jinle Cup competition.
Shen Mingsu walked over to Jiang Xingyao and asked, "Yaoyao, who were you talking to on the phone just now? Was it Jin Qingyu?"
Jiang Xingyao nodded, and Shen Mingsu's pupils deepened, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes. He said, "He's bothering you again?"
“No,” Jiang Xingyao said. “He just called to wish me a Happy New Year.”
He was really just offering New Year's greetings, and even when he heard that Shen Mingsu was present, his attitude was unusually calm.
Shen Mingsu still said, "He's got a lot on his mind. You don't know if he's sincere or not. Yaoyao, you shouldn't trust him too much."
