Chapter 229 Life ultimately turned into a complete mess
Perhaps afraid that Jiang Xingyao wouldn't hear him, Jin Qingyu deliberately raised his voice a little. He spoke clearly, and every word clearly reached Jiang Xingyao's ears.
Jiang Xingyao's earlobes turned slightly red. Even though it was just her and Qin Jiangnan in the music room, she still looked around warily and said, "Jin Qingyu, what are you shouting for? Is this something to brag about?"
“I just want you to hear clearly that I have never touched anyone other than you,” Jin Qingyu added.
He was so eager to show his loyalty that Jiang Xingyao's mind became even more confused. She said, "Enough! Stop shouting."
"Do you believe it?" Jin Qingyu asked.
His response was Jiang Xingyao's silence.
She didn't believe it and didn't want to get entangled with it.
Whether Jin Qingyu is clean or not has little to do with his ex-wife.
Jin Qingyu added, "I mostly used Jiang Cancan before. I never liked her. If she weren't useful, I wouldn't have paid any attention to her."
Jiang Cancan is stubborn and always likes to play those little tricks. In many unimportant situations, he deliberately goes along with her and gradually gains her trust by showing his tolerance.
Jin Qingyu never thought there was anything wrong with his methods. So what if they were despicable? As long as they worked, that was enough.
At that time, he never thought that he would one day really fall in love with Jiang Xingyao. Those methods that he thought were insignificant eventually became sharp blades that pierced him and became a chasm between him and Jiang Xingyao.
"What a joke, you..." Qin Jiangnan's first reaction upon hearing Jin Qingyu's words was to retort, but when he turned his head and saw Jiang Xingyao, he shut his mouth again.
At this moment, helping Jin Qingyu recall all the good things he did for Jiang Cancan is tantamount to reopening Jiang Xingyao's wounds.
Jiang Xingyao said, "It's getting late, I'm going to sleep. You two be quiet and don't disturb other people's rest."
These two brothers, who were once on relatively harmonious terms, became bitter enemies after turning against each other, neither willing to give in. Jiang Xingyao couldn't control them, nor did she want to.
No sooner had Jiang Xingyao left than Qin Jiangnan eagerly climbed out of the window to confront the people outside.
The night was quiet and undisturbed, and Jiang Xingyao slept relatively soundly. However, when she saw Qin Jiangnan sitting at the dining table the next morning, with several bruises on his face, Jiang Xingyao realized that yesterday had not been peaceful at all.
Upon seeing Jiang Xingyao, Qin Jiangnan couldn't wait to stand up and complain: "Yaoyao, look at my face! That bastard is so cunning! He's just feeling guilty. He knows he can't beat me, so he attacked my face. Now that I'm disfigured, you won't dislike me anymore, will you?"
Jiang Xingyao, I'm warning you, you can't do what he wants!
Just as Qin Jiangnan was rambling on, Jin Qingyu walked in from outside. He didn't have any injuries on his face, but his posture looked a bit strange. Jiang Xingyao felt that something about him seemed different today.
Only when he got a little closer did she belatedly realize that the plaster cast on Jin Qingyu's hand was gone.
He was holding his right hand with his left, and he looked strangely pitiful.
Qin Jiangnan, who was still complaining, now looked away, clearly a little guilty.
Jiang Xingyao asked, "What happened to your hand?"
"Didn't Yao Yao already know?" Jin Qingyu glanced meaningfully at Qin Jiangnan, but didn't directly complain like Qin Jiangnan did.
Jiang Xingyao said, "I mean, why didn't you go to the hospital? You know your hand isn't healed yet. What if it leaves any lasting damage?"
Jin Qingyu's hand was injured because of her, and no matter how hard she tries to ignore it, she can't change that fact.
She naturally hoped that Jin Qingyu could recover from his injury as soon as possible.
She would feel guilty if the other person really suffered any lasting effects.
Jin Qingyu said, "Anyway, it's not a big deal. Even if the cast is re-fixed, it might break again someday..."
“This will never happen again. You’re coming to the hospital with me now,” Jiang Xingyao interrupted him directly.
Jin Qingyu was still half-heartedly resisting: "Won't this cause you trouble? Maybe we should just forget it, anyway..."
"Shut up, Jin Qingyu. Do you think you can make me feel guilty by giving up your arm? Let me tell you, no way."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and follow me." Jiang Xingyao said, taking the car keys from the table and walking out.
Jin Qingyu lagged slightly behind, and out of Jiang Xingyao's sight, he turned back and gave Qin Jiangnan a sarcastic look.
Qin Jiangnan was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and followed. Before Jiang Xingyao could get into the driver's seat, he snatched the car keys from her hand: "I'm the one who hit his hand, so I'll take responsibility for my actions. I'll take him to the hospital. You should go practice your piano, Yaoyao."
Jiang Xingyao was still a little uneasy about Qin Jiangnan's sudden change in attitude. Qin Jiangnan then said, "Aren't you supposed to go to school with Madam Rongyue today? Hurry up and go."
Jin Qingyu felt a little regretful that Qin Jiangnan had snatched the prize from him, but when he heard that Jiang Xingyao had important business to attend to, he said, "Go ahead, Yaoyao. I'm sure our young master Qin will take good care of me."
His use of the term "Young Master Qin" immediately let Qin Jiangnan know that he had overheard Jiang Xingyao's teasing remarks from the previous day.
Qin Jiangnan felt a surge of anger rise within him. He said, "What are you yelling for? Get in the car!"
"Don't be so domineering, Young Master Qin. If you're so fierce, Yao Yao will definitely worry about me again." Jin Qingyu said as he nimbly climbed into the back seat.
Qin Jiangnan slammed the car door shut in frustration. Looking at the calm and collected person behind him through the rearview mirror, his frustration grew even stronger.
As the car drove out of the villa, and Jiang Xingyao was no longer there, Qin Jiangnan immediately said impatiently, "You're really shameless."
“That still can’t compare to Young Master Qin. He dressed up so early in the morning and ran to Yao Yao to complain. Tsk, too bad Yao Yao didn’t even look at you. She only cares about me,” Jin Qingyu said.
"You're despicable and shameless! You did it on purpose yesterday!" Qin Jiangnan practically ground his teeth to powder.
Yesterday's argument with Jin Qingyu was initiated by him.
The two of them started fighting, and the bitch used her cast to block his fists while simultaneously hitting him in the face.
Although neither of them ended up getting anything good, it still made Jin Qingyu's presence known to Jiang Xingyao.
The thought of this made Qin Jiangnan feel suffocated with anger.
"So what if I am? Can you honestly say you didn't do it on purpose when you offered your face like that?" Jin Qingyu sneered. "Qin Jiangnan, it's just a matter of skill. You're not a sore loser, are you?"
"Heh, how could I possibly be a sore loser? I'm clean and upright, Jiang Xingyao will definitely choose me," Qin Jiangnan said.
Having been brothers for a while, he knew how to hit Jin Qingyu where it hurt.
Regardless of the reasons why he was with Jiang Cancan before, this matter can never be erased.
Even if he wanted to explain, what could he do? Did he expect to be sent over by a matron to verify his identity like in ancient times?
That probably can't be verified, since proving a man's innocence isn't that easy.
Thinking of this, Qin Jiangnan laughed out loud.
Jin Qingyu knew without asking that he had ill intentions.
He didn't argue with Qin Jiangnan about this matter, and quickly said seriously, "Qin Jiangnan, no matter what we do in private, let's call a truce in front of Yaoyao, and don't affect her, understand?"
...
Qin Jiangnan and Jin Qingyu went to the hospital, and the villa seemed much emptier. Although Jin Qingyu had only been there for a day, Jiang Xingyao felt that this quietness was something she hadn't experienced in a long time.
Fila came downstairs and was surprised to see the somewhat empty living room: "Where are those two people?"
"I went to the hospital," Jiang Xingyao said. Her mind was still in turmoil, and she didn't know when this chaotic period would end.
Fila leaned close to Jiang Xingyao with great interest and said, "Weiyi, I wanted to ask you yesterday, which of those two handsome guys are you planning to choose?"
"I won't choose anyone." Jiang Xingyao said decisively.
Fila, however, seemed not to hear at all, and continued to make comparisons: "The younger one is passionate and straightforward. Dating him would definitely be intense. Young people have a lot of energy and can experience different things. Who knows, it might even bring happiness?"
"The older one is more mature and manly. He looks rich and better looking. His height and physique are amazing. He's even more of a star than a celebrity. It's really hard to choose."
Wei Yi, it seems like they all care about you quite a bit, why don't you accept them all?
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are for adults; Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are for children; and Sunday is another day off for myself—how wonderful!
"Fira!" The more Jiang Xingyao listened, the more unbearable Fila's words became. She quickly stopped her. "One of those two is my ex-husband. Our relationship has deteriorated to the point where it can't get any worse."
There's also someone who's like a younger brother next door, someone I've known since childhood, someone I'm extremely close to.
Do you think I need to choose between these two people?
“But they all seem to like you,” Fila said.
Jiang Xingyao said, "So what? Would you fall in love with your enemy and your younger brother?"
“This…” Fira’s eyes widened, as if she had suddenly realized something, “It seems like I don’t know how.”
“That solves it, so I said I won’t choose either of them. Fila, if you’re sisters, why don’t you help me think of a way to get rid of them both?” Jiang Xingyao said.
Yesterday alone felt like an entire year to Jiang Xingyao, leaving her utterly exhausted.
Qin Jiangnan has always been competitive, and Jin Qingyu joins in the commotion, making it more and more intense and relentless, with no sign of stopping. Jiang Xingyao is truly at her wit's end.
Fila said, "That's simple. Just cut off their hopes at the root and make them give up."
Before Jiang Xingyao could figure out how to carry out this plan, another unexpected event occurred.
Shen Mingsu came to Y country on a business trip.
