Chapter 91 Only through cruelty can one truly face reality.
In the quiet hospital ward, the woman's suppressed sobs were incredibly clear.
Ji Yunyin placed her hand on Jiang Xingyao's back, gently patting her back as if she were patting a child.
Jiang Xingyao buried most of her body in Ji Yunyin's arms, her heart aching so badly she felt like she was suffocating.
At Wangshan Manor, she thought she had nothing left to lose, but later, the music she had painstakingly composed was denounced as plagiarism, and her dreams and dignity were shattered.
When the cold pool water splashed into her eyes, the image of the man carrying Jiang Cancan away was so clear it was like a brand left on her heart.
Even though he had listened to her and humbled himself to apologize to Cheng Jing while drinking with him, and she had lowered herself so much, he could still watch her get splashed with cold water and leave with Jiang Cancan in his arms.
She should have realized long ago that in his eyes there was only Jiang Cancan.
It was he who, through indifference, personally killed their child.
Jiang Xingyao remained silent for a long time, which worried Ji Yunyin. She called Jiang Xingyao's name softly, but couldn't say anything more before realizing that her own voice was also hoarse.
She hugged Jiang Xingyao tightly, her voice slightly choked: "Yaoyao, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"It's my fault for not being attentive enough. I should have noticed something was wrong with you when you went to Haicheng last time. If I had come back with you last time, none of this would have happened."
Ji Yunyin's trembling voice brought Jiang Xingyao back to her senses. Jiang Xingyao raised her head slightly, looked at Ji Yunyin with a somewhat distressed expression, and said, "Yinyin, don't be like this, don't take the blame on yourself. It's something I didn't tell you."
She forced a smile, trying to appear better and comfort Ji Yunyin, but all that came out was a miserable, desolate laugh.
Jiang Xingyao said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Actually, I should have thought of this earlier. Perhaps this is a good thing for the child. Someone like me has made a mess of my own life."
I wouldn't be a good mother. Even if I were lucky enough to bring him into the world, he would likely face many problems.
"No, Yaoyao, it's not your fault. It's all that bastard Jin Qingyu's fault. That dog is fickle and unfaithful. He's the one who wronged you."
"If only I had come back sooner, my Yaoyao wouldn't have had to face so much alone." Ji Yunyin scolded Jin Qingyu, but when her gaze fell on Jiang Xingyao's thin shoulders, she began to blame herself again.
There was a knock on the door of the ward.
Ji Yunyin patted Jiang Xingyao's shoulder reassuringly again, then got up to open the door.
Standing at the door was Shen Mingsu, who had rushed over.
Shen Ying hadn't left either, she was waiting outside the ward. When Ji Yunyin opened the door, she seemed to hear Shen Ying talking on the phone to someone, her tone wasn't good, it sounded like they were arguing.
You can vaguely hear words like "child" and "miscarriage".
Ji Yunyin glanced in that direction, and Shen Mingsu explained, "Xingyao's incident happened at my family's banquet. My sister is probably explaining the situation to her family."
Ji Yunyin felt that Shen Ying's attitude didn't seem like an explanation.
But she had no time to care about others, and just said to Shen Ming, "You also know that he got into trouble at your Shen family's banquet? Didn't anyone check these facilities before you held the banquet? Why did the dessert cart suddenly go out of control?"
Such a big car hit her in the waist, do you even know how big her waist is...?
"I came here to talk about this matter, to see Xingyao," Shen Ming said.
Ji Yunyin still found Shen Mingsu somewhat displeasing.
But she also realized that when the plagiarism incident happened, it was Shen Ming who told her to protect Jiang Xingyao.
This can also be considered Jiang Xingyao's friend.
Even if she was dissatisfied with Shen Mingsu because of what happened at the banquet, she couldn't shut him out on Jiang Xingyao's behalf.
Ji Yunyin finally stepped aside and let Shen Mingsu into the ward.
Seeing Jiang Xingyao lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, Shen Mingsu's expression was also not good. Words of comfort seemed pale at this moment.
Shen Mingsu picked up his laptop and sat down in front of Jiang Xingyao: "Xingyao, I've brought the surveillance footage from the banquet. That Secretary Jiang's appearance was too coincidental; it's probably all related to her."
The waiter pushing the cart had long since disappeared; it was all a deliberate scheme.
Shen Mingsu has already sent people to look for the waiter's whereabouts.
There are no results yet, and he took advantage of this break to come and ask Jiang Xingyao for her opinion.
"What do you mean 'I'm afraid'? I think it was her. That little bitch has been openly and secretly going against Yao Yao ever since she came to the Jiang family, spreading rumors about Xing Yao everywhere. I'm going to tear her apart right now."
Even before Shen Mingsu arrived, Ji Yunyin couldn't contain her temper.
At that time, Jiang Xingyao was alone, and Ji Yunyin was not at ease leaving her alone in the ward.
Upon hearing Shen Mingsu's words, Ji Yunyin immediately headed towards the door.
"Yinyin!"
“Miss Ji, please calm down. But the waiter hasn’t caught anything yet. Even if we confront Secretary Jiang, we still don’t have any evidence. These are just our guesses.”
Jiang Xingyao urgently called out to Ji Yunyin, while Shen Mingsu also explained from the side.
Ji Yunyin still looked annoyed. Jiang Xingyao called her again, and she finally gave in and stayed.
“I want to see that surveillance footage,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Women are as fragile as flowers that break easily in a storm.
The voice was extremely hoarse, and even trembled slightly.
Although Shen Mingsu felt that it was too cruel to make Jiang Xingyao see with her own eyes how she was knocked into the pool and to see Jin Qingyu leave with someone else, he still felt that it was too cruel.
But he still turned on the surveillance video in front of Jiang Xingyao.
Only cruelty can truly break her heart and allow her to quickly transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
If all of this is an inevitable obstacle on the path to becoming a butterfly.
She survived, and from now on she will be invincible.
The surveillance footage played back bit by bit.
Jiang Xingyao witnessed the out-of-control dessert cart crashing into her, saw the socialite scattering and screaming, and saw Shen Ying anxiously reaching out, but failing to touch her hand.
There were only a few socialites and heiresses around at the time; the men were all talking business a little further away.
In the midst of the chaos, Jiang Cancan suddenly pounced on him.
By then, the out-of-control dessert truck had already stopped.
She pounced at just the right moment, when everyone was still in shock.
So no one noticed whether she was actually run over by the out-of-control dessert cart.
"That's enough, just put it here," Ji Yunyin scolded.
Seeing this, it's clear that Jiang Cancan deliberately pounced on him, and that's enough.
Ji Yunyin knew perfectly well what would happen next, and she didn't want Jiang Xingyao to be hurt again.
The footage on the monitor was shaky and not very clear, but Ji Yunyin could still see Jiang Xingyao splashing around in the pool at the edge of the screen.
She was the one who rescued the person, and every time she sees this scene, her heart aches.
"Let her see it," Shen Ming said, unusually stubborn on this matter. "Miss Ji, I know you're doing this for Xingyao's own good."
But she had to see this clearly; she had to know exactly what kind of person was the one beside her.
The surveillance footage that Ji Yunyin had paused was restarted by Shen Mingsu.
A somewhat chaotic sound once again echoed through the ward.
Ji Yunyin said angrily, "That's enough! Do you know how cruel this is to Yaoyao?"
"It was precisely because it was cruel enough that she was able to make up her mind," Shen Ming said.
The two argued incessantly in the hospital room. Jiang Xingyao moved her laptop to her lap and started scrolling through the progress bar, stopping at the point where Jin Qingyu had appeared.
What I vaguely saw in the pool is now displayed with infinite clarity before my eyes.
She saw Jiang Cancan complaining of leg pain.
Jin Qingyu immediately took Jiang Cancan and left.
He was so nervous that he didn't even notice that the car hadn't run over Jiang Cancan at all.
The atmospheric lighting shone on them, adding a touch of soft ambiguity.
Anyone who sees this scene would probably sigh at what a perfect couple they are.
Who would have thought that the man's wife, who was in the public eye, was now soaking in cold water, and even his child was left in the cold water forever?
Jiang Xingyao felt a churning in her stomach, and she gagged, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Ji Yunyin was terrified and hurriedly ran out to call the doctor.
Jiang Xingyao's gaze remained fixed on the laptop screen. She said, "President Shen, please keep my pregnancy a secret."
“I knew you would think that way. Don’t worry, I kept it a secret before I came. He definitely won’t know,” Shen Ming said.
Jiang Xingyao nodded and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll go to Hong Kong with you. How long until that piano competition you mentioned last time?"
She no longer wanted Jin Qingyu, nor did she want to have any further involvement with him or the entire Jin family.
Shen Ming said, "There's still more than a month left, so you can use this time to recover your health."
Jiang Xingyao agreed, and then looked down at the laptop screen.
The surveillance footage showed Ji Yunyin rushing in and jumping into the pool.
She saw that Yin Yin had even torn the hem of her dress to save her, just so she could run faster.
She saw Yinyin carrying her into the ambulance.
Jiang Xingyao felt a tightness in her chest, her emotions surging so intensely that it was difficult for her to even breathe.
Ji Yunyin quickly brought a doctor over. After the examination, the doctor said that Jiang Xingyao had too much pent-up anger, which caused her to have a sudden attack on her heart.
Ji Yunyin, listening nearby, couldn't help but unleash another round of curses.
Shen Ying came in from outside after finishing her phone call and overheard this. Her expression wasn't very good either.
She had no idea what kind of den of wolves and tigers this was, that could ravage a young woman in the prime of her life until she was almost unrecognizable.
