Chapter 186 The First and Last Time
Jin Manchuan's expression grew increasingly strange. He reached out to snatch Jin Qingyu's phone: "Are you desperate to frame Yan Zhou? You just randomly photoshopped a picture and put it in front of the old man. Jin Qingyu, are you sick in the head?"
Jin Qingyu turned his wheelchair to avoid Jin Manchuan's outstretched hand: "Whether it's a synthesis or not, Grandpa will decide in his heart. If Dad has a clear conscience, there's no need to argue about it here."
As he spoke, he looked at Jin Manchuan with a sinister gaze, the coldness in his eyes almost tangible.
As soon as he got off the plane, Assistant Xu gave him a document that showed that Shen Ying and Jin Yanzhou had been a couple since they were studying abroad six years ago.
Less than three days after the Shen siblings returned to China, they met Jiang Xingyao. What's so hard to understand about that?
The two of them have been involved in their marital relationship from beginning to end, and it must have been them who instigated Jiang Xingyao to divorce him.
Especially that Shen Mingsu.
Yao Yao was perfectly fine at home. If it weren't for Shen Mingsu insisting on signing her into the Shen family company, none of this would have caused so much trouble.
They were Jin Yanzhou's accomplices, hastening his divorce from Jiang Xingyao and using such despicable and shameless means to seize his position as president.
The old man glared at Jin Manchuan, staring at the photo on the phone for a long time: "Is this really Yan Zhou's child?"
“If Grandpa doesn’t believe me, he can just call my older brother back for a paternity test,” Jin Qingyu said.
Jin Manchuan stepped forward, wanting to say a few nice words to appease the old man's anger, but the old man glared at him and said, "Call Jin Yanzhou right now and tell him to come back."
Jin Manchuan glared at Jin Qingyu before leaving the house.
Jin Qingyu watched his retreating figure, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, but he did not say anything to stop him.
Han Hui was also there today, still with that indifferent look on her face, even though this matter involved her only son, she remained aloof.
Jin Qingyu said, "My elder brother and Miss Shen had feelings for each other six years ago. As soon as Miss Shen returned to China, she became Yao Yao's friend. My divorce certificate was also given to me by my elder brother."
I lost that game of chess, and I have no complaints. But when they were targeting me, they insisted on dragging Yao Yao into it. Grandpa, do you think I should demand an explanation?
Jin Qingyu casually picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, and handed it to the old man. His actions were filial, but his tone was aggressive.
The old man's expression was not good. He said irritably, "Isn't the matter still unresolved? We'll talk about it when Yan Zhou comes back."
He seemed unwilling to get entangled with Jin Qingyu here, and after saying a few words, he went straight back to his study.
Both of them are his grandsons, and he loves them both equally. Jin Qingyu's current posture clearly shows that he is determined to fight Jin Yanzhou to the death. As an elder, he naturally doesn't want to see this scene. Now he can only hope that Yanzhou can explain this matter clearly after he returns.
Jin Qingyu stayed at the old house today.
The old man didn't come downstairs for dinner. Chen Ma brought the food into the room for him. When Jin Manchuan saw this, he said sarcastically, "Those raised outside can never be truly tamed. The old man dotes on you so much, but you always make him so angry that he can't even eat when you come back. Jin Qingyu, why don't you just die outside?"
"Is Dad so eager for me to die because he's afraid something can't be covered up?"
"Don't be afraid. I will definitely investigate my mother's matter and Yaoyao's matter thoroughly. There's no use being afraid," Jin Qingyu said.
Jin Qingyu was unresponsive to reason, and Jin Manchuan also refused to eat, throwing down her chopsticks and leaving the house.
Jin Qingyu sneered and continued eating, completely unconcerned.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Jin Yanzhou returned to the old house, and unexpectedly, he brought Shen Ying with him.
The child Shen Ying was holding in her arms was Little Crystal.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Ma started yelling and woke everyone up.
This was Shen Ying's first time visiting the Jin family's old residence. There was no joy in her eyes, only numbness.
Even now, the words Jin Yanzhou had spoken to her still echo in her mind.
She knew very well that this time, her relationship with Jin Yanzhou was completely over.
This will also be the last time she comes to the Jin family.
After the old man came downstairs, the first thing he looked at was little Crystal in Shen Ying's arms. He walked over, and before he could ask anything, Jin Manchuan said impatiently, "Yan Zhou, Jin Qingyu insists that you have a child outside. Quickly explain to your grandfather what's going on."
Jin Yanzhou said, "Perhaps he has lost his mind. He sees everything as unclean. If I had a child, I would have brought him to my grandfather long ago. Why should an outsider speak up for me?"
"Then what's going on?" the old man asked. "Yan Zhou, I'll give you a chance to explain. Is the child of the eldest daughter of the Shen family really not yours?"
The old man had already moved closer to Shen Ying. He looked at the little crystal in the swaddling clothes and felt more and more familiar with her. Her nose and mouth really looked just like Jin Yanzhou when he was a child.
The old man said again, "I don't care what your purpose is in trying to hide it, but the most important thing for a man is to be responsible. As long as you dare to admit it, Miss Shen is my Jin family's granddaughter-in-law."
As for the Shen family, if they're unwilling, this old man can swallow his pride and speak on their behalf for you, Yan Zhou. You'd better think this through."
Despite being disheartened, Shen Ying still cast a hopeful glance at Jin Yanzhou when she heard the old man's words.
Jin Yanzhou didn't hesitate at all: "Grandpa, don't believe these unfounded rumors. Shen Ying and I are just ordinary friends. I happened to be on a business trip to Hong Kong these past few days. Her child is not well, and I saw that she was all alone and had no one to take care of her, so I just lent a hand."
"Qingyu is probably so eager to find something against me that he brings up every baseless rumor to you. I know you might not believe me, so let's just do a paternity test to avoid damaging Shen Ying's reputation as well."
As he spoke, he reached into Little Crystal's swaddling clothes, pulled out a single hair, and then plucked out his own hair and handed it to the butler.
As it turned out, Shen Ying already knew in her heart that when she heard Jin Yanzhou deny her again in front of everyone in the Jin family, her heart sank even further.
How ridiculous! Even though the old man of the Jin family offered to cover for him, he still refused to acknowledge her.
As the butler left, Jin Qingyu followed him out with a look of sarcasm in his eyes. He didn't say anything to stop him, but just watched the farce with amusement, just like Jin Yanzhou had done years ago, standing between him and Jiang Xingyao.
He knew very well that Jin Yanzhou would not admit to having someone plot against him and Jiang Xingyao. Once he did, there was no guarantee that the old man would strip him of his power in the Jin family in his rage.
After all, he got to this point by using improper means to scheme against his family.
Jin Yanzhou will definitely try to make amends; Jin Qingyu already knows the results of that paternity test.
But he didn't intend to stop him.
Jin Yanzhou's current state is very similar to his past self, having been trapped in his own web from beginning to end. He is looking forward to Jin Yanzhou losing Shen Ying, just as he lost Yao Yao.
As for the rights that originally belonged to him, he was in no hurry to take them all back in a short time.
The housekeeper used his connections, and an hour later, the paternity test results came out. Just as Jin Qingyu had expected, the results proved that there was no parent-child relationship between Jin Yanzhou and Xiao Shuijing.
Jin Yanzhou said, "See, Grandpa? It's just friends helping each other out. It's all a misunderstanding."
Grandpa Jin's gaze never left Xiao Shuijing, even when the paternity test results were presented to him.
He still felt a strange intimacy in his heart, like an unseen pull, like a blood connection.
The old man asked, "You and Miss Shen were boyfriend and girlfriend before. When did you break up?"
"We separated a long time ago, Grandpa. It's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll take Shen Ying home. It's not right to make someone come all the way from Hong Kong just for our family's little matter." Jin Yanzhou said perfunctorily and was about to take Shen Ying away.
Old Master Jin asked again, "They've separated? Jin Yanzhou, can you guarantee to me that everything you say is true? Is this child really not a member of the Jin family?"
“No.” Shen Ying, who had been silent since entering the room, finally spoke. She looked at Xiao Shuijing with loving eyes, “Jin Yanzhou and I broke up when he finished his studies abroad, and we haven’t had any contact over the years.”
If we hadn't met in Hong Kong, and if Little Crystal hadn't been sick and I hadn't been able to do anything about it, I wouldn't have contacted him again.
Mr. Jin, please stop asking about this matter. No one wants to keep bringing up their ex-boyfriend.
I came to the Jin family this time to explain on his behalf, only because he helped me take Xiao Shuijing to the hospital.
Her head was lowered the whole time, so no one could see that her eyes were already wet. Her voice was extremely resolute. She was speaking to the old man, but it made Jin Yanzhou, who was standing next to her, feel a jolt in his heart. For some reason, an ominous premonition gradually spread.
The old man frowned and stared at Shen Ying, seemingly having some plans in mind, but he didn't ask any further questions.
Jin Yanzhou took Shen Ying out the door. He was going to drive Shen Ying there, but a black car was already parked in front of the Jin family's old house. The driver of the Shen family was sticking his head out of the car.
Shen Ying didn't even say goodbye before turning to get into the car, but Jin Yanzhou reached out and stopped her: "Yingying, you understand what happened today, right? I just..."
“You don’t need to explain, I understand. It wasn’t easy for you to get to where you are now. You can’t let the old man know that you used improper means. I can understand this little thing,” Shen Ying said.
Jin Yanzhou's throat tightened slightly, but he nodded: "It's good that you understand, Yingying. I'll come see you another day. This is only temporary. Everything you want, I will give you sooner or later."
