Chapter 109 He killed his own child
On the phone, the old man was furiously scolding him, blaming him for making too much of a scene and disgracing the Jin family.
Jin Qingyu's tone turned sour as he recalled Jiang Xingyao's humiliating behavior. He replied, "It was Jiang Xingyao. I didn't expect her to be so disregard for the bigger picture."
"Consider the bigger picture? You bastard, get this straight, you're the one who angered Yao Yao. I told you to apologize, not to use these methods to coerce her into coming back with you!"
If you've angered someone, why should you expect them to consider the bigger picture?
"I don't care what methods you use, you must win my granddaughter-in-law back!" the old man roared.
"It's impossible. Jiang Xingyao won't want him anymore." Before Jin Qingyu could speak, Jin Yanzhou's resolute voice suddenly came from the old man's microphone.
The call continued uninterrupted. Jin Qingyu could still hear the old man angrily scolding Jin Yanzhou for talking nonsense. But soon, Jin Yanzhou produced something, and there was silence on the other end of the line, followed by the old man's fury: "Jin Qingyu! You get back here right now! I'm only giving you half a day. If you don't come back, you can forget about staying in the Jin family."
Before Jin Qingyu could even speak, the phone suddenly went dead.
Jin Qingyu listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, still somewhat confused.
It seemed that this was the first time the old man had spoken to him so harshly since he returned to the Jin family.
Even when he made a huge mistake before, the old man never gave him an ultimatum like he did now.
Knowing that the situation in the capital was not to be ignored, Jin Qingyu disregarded everything else and hurriedly got up to rush to the airport.
Assistant Xu came over with his phone, his expression somewhat strange. He wanted to show Jin Qingyu something, but Jin Qingyu didn't care at all. He just urged Assistant Xu to book the plane tickets quickly.
While things were in chaos on Jin Qingyu's side, Jiang Xingyao had already returned to her apartment.
Her head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode; she couldn't even open her eyes. Just as she was hesitating about whether to cancel her afternoon flight, she received a call from Shen Mingsu.
“Xingyao, someone online has released all the surveillance footage from the Shen family banquet that day. It’s trending on social media now and causing a huge uproar. You can’t hide the fact that you lost your child anymore.”
When Shen Mingsu's voice, mixed with the sound of electricity, reached her ears, it briefly brought Jiang Xingyao to her senses. Her heart felt as if it had been hit hard by something, and she felt a dull pain.
The issue of her child remains an unhealed scar on her heart.
No matter how difficult the divorce was, she never thought of using her child for her own purposes.
But now her scars have been exposed like this.
Jiang Xingyao was trembling uncontrollably all over.
Jiang Xingyao remained speechless for a long time.
Shen Mingsu added, "I'm afraid Old Master Jin already knows about this, Xingyao, you..."
“I’m going back to the capital,” Jiang Xingyao said.
After giving a reply, she hung up the phone immediately. Before she knew it, she had bitten her lip so hard that it was bleeding.
She never intended to do this, but now that things have escalated to this point, she has no choice but to cruelly exploit her poor child.
She knew now was the best time to get a divorce, and no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was, she couldn't give up now.
Jiang Xingyao washed her face, trying to clear her head, and rushed to the airport as quickly as possible, but she was still a little late.
The flight she had booked had already taken off, so Jiang Xingyao had to change to the next one.
While waiting for her flight, she received a worried phone call from Ji Yunyin. Jiang Xingyao told Ji Yunyin about the flight time.
The Jin family's old house is in complete chaos.
When the old man saw the video, he was so angry that he fainted. It took two hours of work by the family doctor to finally regain his senses. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to ask angrily, "Where is Jin Qingyu? Hasn't that bastard come back yet?"
Aunt Jin stood by the bedside, shaking her head with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
From the time she saw the video until now, only three hours have passed, but she felt that the old man seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant. Even his eyes had become much more cloudy than usual, and his face was full of dejection.
Not to mention the old man, even Aunt Jin herself felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw the complete video and the blood-stained swimming pool.
She couldn't understand how anyone could be so heartless, ignoring his pregnant wife soaking in the cold pool and simply leaving with another woman.
Jin Yanzhou stood at the door, ignoring the deathly silence inside, and continued to make sarcastic remarks: "Grandpa, you're so protective of that Jin Qingyu. He said he didn't want a divorce, and you were willing to hold Jiang Xingyao back for him. But what was the result? Your most trusted grandson killed your beloved great-grandson with his own hands."
Jin Yanzhou's words were excessively blunt; every sentence was like a thorn in the old man's side.
The old man's vision went black, and he almost fainted again.
After Yao Yao returned this time, she was absolutely determined to get a divorce.
He clearly sensed that Yao Yao had changed a lot, but he never investigated it further.
He even covered for Jin Qingyu, and even after losing the bet, he still found an excuse to send Yao Yao away, just to create an opportunity for that bastard!
Does Jin Qingyu deserve it? He doesn't! A beast who killed his own child with his own hands!
He has no right to appear in front of Yao Yao again.
Seeing that the old man was not in a good mood, Aunt Jin tentatively advised, "Yan Zhou, you should say less."
"Which of my words is not true? Jin Qingyu has always been an ill-mannered, despicable stray dog. Even if he rashly stumbled into this circle, he would be out of place with everyone."
He was a heartless piece of trash. His grandfather doted on him, favored him, and even married his friend's grandson to him. How did he repay his grandfather? He personally killed his grandfather's great-grandson.
"If Jin Qingyu can do this, why can't I say it?" Jin Yanzhou retorted without hesitation to his second aunt.
Jin Manchuan rushed back upon hearing the news, just in time to hear Jin Yanzhou's words. He wholeheartedly agreed: "Yanzhou is right. Dad shouldn't have brought him back back then."
The old man took a deep breath. He was completely preoccupied with Jiang Xingyao's plight and had no interest in Jin Yanzhou and Jin Manchuan's mockery.
In the midst of the stalemate, Aunt Chen rushed in: "The second young master is back."
A single sentence stirred up a huge wave of discussion.
Jin Yanzhou and Jin Manchuan both shut their mouths and waited patiently for Jin Qingyu's arrival. The old man was clutching his chest, and even his breathing was a little difficult.
The family doctor didn't leave; he stayed by my side, afraid that something might happen.
As soon as Jin Qingyu entered the room, he sensed the heavy atmosphere.
He hadn't tidied himself up at all; there were still two rose petals stuck in his collar.
The grand romance in the port city seems like it was just yesterday.
Before Jin Qingyu could ask what was going on, the old man grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it at him: "Kneel down."
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Even if I made a big fuss in Hong Kong, my intentions were good. I just wanted to coax Yao Yao back, and Grandpa tacitly approved of that, wasn't he?" Jin Qingyu said.
The old man's hard-won calm was shaken up again by Jin Qingyu's two short sentences. His voice trembled as he said, "Yaoyao, how dare you mention Yaoyao?"
What sins did I commit in my past life? How did I end up with all of you unfilial brats?
The old man, who had dominated the business world for half his life, was now choked with emotion. He glanced at Jin Qingyu, took another deep breath, but still couldn't finish the story. He simply said to Jin Yanzhou, "You tell him."
Jin Yanzhou snorted coldly: "What's the use of me saying that? He's always looked down on me. He might even think I'm deceiving him. After all, who can expect any conscience from someone who can kill their own child?"
Jin Yanzhou's voice was sarcastic, but he still managed to expose the matter.
Jin Qingyu was initially confused, but upon hearing Jin Yanzhou's words, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he grabbed Jin Yanzhou's collar: "What child? When did I ever kill my own child? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Jin Yanzhou brushed his hand away: "Jiang Xingyao is pregnant with your child, almost four months along. The night you threw her into the pool, you killed your own child."
Jin Qingyu's words, tinged with malice, reached his ears, causing him to stumble. He shook his head in disbelief: "No, it's impossible. If Yaoyao is pregnant, why didn't she tell me?"
You lied to me, Jin Yanzhou, you lied to me, didn't you?"
Looking at his somewhat distraught appearance, Jin Yanzhou's expression became increasingly sarcastic: "I lied to you? Why would I need to lie to you about something like this?"
Look for yourself, this is the surveillance footage from that day. When you ignored her pleas for help and left with your lover, her blood stained half the swimming pool.
If it weren't for Ji Yunyin, not only the child, but Jiang Xingyao might not even be alive.
The complete video played in front of Jin Qingyu.
He saw that familiar scene again.
In fact, during this time, he had thought about the way Jiang Xingyao looked when she fell into the water more than once.
Especially when Qin Jiangnan lied to him that Jiang Xingyao had injured her back.
He had wondered time and again whether Jiang Xingyao was cold or scared in the water that day.
But later in Hong Kong, when he saw Jiang Xingyao in high spirits, chatting and laughing with the people around her, the guilt in his heart gradually faded away.
Jiang Xingyao could run and jump; she could drink with people without any problems and could yell at him with great force. He thought that what happened that day had no impact on Jiang Xingyao.
But now Jin Yanzhou tells him that Jiang Xingyao lost their child that night!
