Chapter 222 Has Jiang Xingyao ever been moved by someone else?
My palm suddenly felt empty, and my heart felt empty too.
Jin Qingyu's gaze fell on Qu Xinting, meeting her cold eyes.
Qu Xinting was wearing a smart suit, and she looked travel-worn, as if she had just returned from the company and rushed over to stop him.
Before Jin Qingyu could speak, she continued coldly, "You've already divorced Yao Yao, so you shouldn't be going into her room anymore, and you shouldn't be touching her things. Please leave now."
Jiang Yuncheng must have heard the news, because he rushed over. He asked, "Tingting, what are you doing?"
"My son-in-law's clothes were dirty, so he borrowed Yao Yao's room to change. Isn't that normal? Don't get so worked up."
When Jiang Yuncheng arrived, Qu Xinting's expression softened a bit. She said, "Yuncheng, how could you say that to me? I'm only thinking about President Jin and Cancan."
Since he has already divorced Jiang Xingyao and has an ambiguous relationship with Jiang Cancan, wouldn't entering Jiang Xingyao's room now cause Cancan to misunderstand?
I know you're determined to have Mr. Jin as your son-in-law, so I was trying to help you avoid unnecessary trouble.
She appeared to be wholeheartedly considering Jiang Yuncheng's best interests, leaving no room for criticism.
Jin Qingyu frowned, thinking about the contrast between Qu Xinting's behavior before and after, and became even more certain that there was something wrong with Qu Xinting.
No matter how she tries to argue, her defense of Jiang Xingyao is undeniable, suggesting that she did indeed have her reasons for what she did before.
Looking at Qu Xinting's ingratiating face, Jiang Yuncheng felt a surge of anger, but he couldn't vent it. He could only subtly correct her, "Tingting, you can't say that. President Jin is Yaoyao's husband. I want him to be my son-in-law, but that's just because I hope he can get back together with Yaoyao. It has nothing to do with Jiang Cancan."
He was speaking to Qu Xinting, but he was actually saying it to Jin Qingyu. Ignoring Qu Xinting's slightly surprised expression, he continued, "Yaoyao and President Jin are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Even if they have a little conflict now, they will definitely make up in the future. You should not mention Jiang Cancan again."
How could someone like her compare to Yao Yao?
He looked into Jin Qingyu's eyes with increasing flattery: "Yaoyao's room is the son-in-law's place. The son-in-law can stay here as long as he wants."
As he spoke, he tried to pull Qu Xinting away. His eagerness to please her disgusted Jin Qingyu. Jin Qingyu glanced at the notebook in Qu Xinting's hand before reluctantly leaving the room.
Jiang Yuncheng hurriedly nodded and bowed as he chased after her, saying nice things all the while. Qu Xinting lagged behind, gently flipping through her notebook. On the last page, there were girlish thoughts written in colored markers.
"After eight years of secretly loving Jin Qingyu, I'm going to marry him."
But he doesn't seem to recognize me.
It's okay, it's enough that I like him.
This is a diary, Jiang Xingyao's diary.
Qu Xinting didn't know why she left this at the Jiang family's house. She only knew that Jin Qingyu couldn't see it, otherwise he would keep pestering Yaoyao.
Jin Qingyu didn't know Jiang Xingyao's thoughts before, and now he has even less reason to know.
Back in the banquet hall, Jin Qingyu was still preoccupied with the notebook that Qu Xinting had snatched away. It felt like a feather was stuck to his heart, constantly tugging at it, causing him an unbearable itch.
Those poetry collections, like the tender thoughts of a young girl, stirred his curiosity and made him eager to know if Jiang Xingyao had someone she liked.
Or what kind of person does she like?
Qu Xinting quickly changed into a dress and walked to Jiang Yuncheng's side. She didn't shy away from explaining the purpose of the party to everyone present, asking them to help the Jiang family overcome their difficulties.
Everyone present looked at each other, and almost no one took the initiative to respond to Qu Xinting's words. Seeing how sincerely Xinting was pleading, they all knew perfectly well that Jiang Shi would definitely not be able to hold on this time.
Some people also turned their attention to Jin Qingyu, waiting to see if he, as the son-in-law, could set an example first.
Jiang Yuncheng had been pleading with Jin Qingyu all night, but Jin Qingyu hadn't responded. Now, however, he suddenly said lazily, "Who doesn't know that the Jiang family is finished? Investing now is like throwing money down the drain. Mother-in-law, if you ask me, why don't you just hand the Jiang family over to me and merge it with our Jin family? I'll take care of you in your old age."
His words completely tore away the fig leaf of the Jiang family. Jiang Yuncheng immediately explained, "Son-in-law, you can't say such things carelessly. Our Jiang family is doing just fine. The reason we invited you all here is because our new product is about to be launched. You are all Jiang family's previous partners. To thank you for your trust in Jiang family, my wife and I wanted to share a piece of this lucrative business with you all, right, Tingting?"
Jiang Yuncheng was well aware that most people here were only there because of Old Master Qu's influence. They listened to Qu Xinting more than he did. So he deliberately pulled Qu Xinting along with him to lie.
Qu Xinting gave Jin Qingyu a meaningful look before nodding and saying, "My uncles and aunts have helped me a lot. Yuncheng and I are also thinking of helping you all get rich. Our new product will be launched in April or May. If we miss this great opportunity, please don't blame me for keeping it a secret."
Qu Xinting continued to echo Jiang Yuncheng's words, but everyone present already sensed something fishy was going on.
Now that the launch date of the new product has been set, it means that the time to make money is just around the corner. At this critical juncture, only a fool would bring others into the business. Putting aside Qu Xinting's thoughts, if the Jiang family hadn't run into trouble, given Jiang Yuncheng's stinginess, he would never have allowed anyone else to get a share of the profits.
The more the couple tries to explain, the more guilty they appear to others.
Everyone present wore smiles on their faces, but in their hearts they were already cursing Jiang Yuncheng and Qu Xinting for being so inhumane.
Jin Qingyu spoke again, directly revealing everyone's suspicions and tearing away the fig leaf that Jiang Yuncheng and his wife had been hiding.
The old man from Qi's Pharmaceutical Company couldn't help but say angrily, "Tingting, we watched you grow up. If it's just a small problem, we'll help you if we can."
But now your Jiang family is clearly on the verge of collapse, and you're still lying to us uncles and elders. What, do you think we old folks are all fools?
"Alright, Old Qu has been gone for so many years. I've helped you quite a bit, and from now on, Qi's Pharmaceuticals will have nothing to do with you. Don't come to me with any problems you encounter."
Once someone took the lead in expressing their opinion, it immediately drew echoes of agreement, and soon almost everyone present announced that they would sever all ties with the Jiang family.
Qu Xinting looked anxious and kept trying to salvage the situation, saying kind and nice things, but all she got in return were helpless looks.
Old Master Qin was also here today. He glanced at Qu Xinting and in the end only left her with the words "Take care of yourself," clearly showing his disappointment in her.
In the blink of an eye, everyone who had arrived had left, and the huge banquet hall was empty.
Jiang Yuncheng was struck dumb, exclaiming, "How could this be?"
"I don't know either. Is it because we've asked our uncles for help too many times lately, and they've been disappointed?"
"Yuncheng, what are we going to do? If we don't have the funds, not only will our new products not be able to launch smoothly, but we'll also be dragged down by price cuts." Qu Xinting looked very anxious.
Jiang Yuncheng was even more anxious than her: "You're asking me? Who should I ask?"
If you hadn't pretended to be rich back then, hadn't given Jiang Xingyao money, and... the funds wouldn't have been depleted so quickly.
By the way, what did the Zhou family say? You stayed in Hong Kong for so long, didn't you manage to persuade them?
Qu Xinting said with a hint of grievance, "President Zhou said that his family has invested so much money in this project and hasn't seen any benefits yet. They won't invest any more until they receive a return."
"How can they expect a return if they don't invest? They'll have to wait until the drug is on the market to see a return, won't they? Didn't you explain that to them?" Jiang Yuncheng roared.
Qu Xinting said, "I did say that, but they also said that if I want to invest more, I have to wait until the new product is launched and see the feedback."
Mr. Zhou made it clear that the Zhou family's money was not meant to be wasted. If there were no results, he would not only want to recover the investment, but also demand ten times the amount in compensation.
Jiang Yuncheng's face was filled with fear. He knew Jiang's situation very well. Their cash flow had long been cut off. They had pinned all their hopes on the weight loss drug, but without new investment, the new product would have no chance of being launched smoothly.
If the new product cannot be launched, then they will naturally have to face the tenfold compensation that Zhou Huaiyan mentioned.
It was Zhou Huaiyan who approached them first. He said he was optimistic about the prospects of this weight loss drug and invested 80 million yuan in it over time. It can be said that the entire production line, from the R&D team to the production line, was funded by the Zhou family.
Now that the Zhou family wants to withdraw, he'll have to pay 800 million.
This astronomical figure was like a mountain, pressing heavily on Jiang Yuncheng's shoulders, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
“How could this happen? Tingting, why don’t you go and ask Dad’s old friends again? After all, Dad founded this company and it contains his hard work. They can’t just abandon us, can they?” Jiang Yuncheng said.
Qu Xinting sighed: "Yuncheng, it's not that I don't want to go, but you saw what happened just now. The company is now under the Jiang family, not the Qu family. There's something missing in the process, and I'm afraid even Dad's influence might not be enough."
Uncle Qin told me before that the Jiang family has nothing to do with Dad, and if they're going to help, they'll only help Dad's company. There's nothing I can do about it.”
Jiang Yuncheng still looked completely lost. He said, "Whether it's the Jiang surname or the Qu surname, isn't it all Dad's hard work? Why make such a distinction?"
Qu Xinting said, "Yes, that's what I said too. We're all family now. Whether the company has your surname or mine, it's the same, isn't it?"
But they wouldn't listen. Maybe that's what people of their generation valued.
