Chapter 60 It's better if Jiang Xingyao can't have children.
"Oh my, Yao Yao, Mrs. Jin, why don't you greet your parents?" Jiang Yuncheng seemed to be in a very good mood and directly led Qu Xinting to sit down next to Jiang Xingyao.
Qu Xinting glanced at Jiang Xingyao the moment she sat down, and then never looked at her again. She even habitually bent down to help Jiang Yuncheng peel fruit.
Even though she was used to her like this, Jiang Xingyao felt as if her heart had been hit hard when she saw her now, so she simply looked away.
Jiang Yuncheng said sarcastically, "Mrs. Jin is really something, isn't she? Now she doesn't even greet her parents when she sees them?"
"You seem to be in a good mood today. Have you paid off your debts?" Jiang Xingyao said sarcastically.
Just two days ago, she kept receiving calls from Jiang Yuncheng on her phone, asking her to withdraw the lawsuit.
Jiang Yuncheng had sent Qu Xinting to a sanatorium because he was worried that she would get out of control. Now he dares to take her out for walks, which shows that he has not been doing well lately.
Jiang Yuncheng's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "This is none of Mrs. Jin's concern. Yaoyao, it's not that your father is criticizing you, but we shouldn't be ungrateful, should we?"
You've only gotten a little better off with your husband, and you're already asking him to help you deal with things at home? Do you really think your relationship can stay that way forever?
No matter what, your parents and family are your strongest support. Once our family is established, if anything happens to you in the Jin family, Dad will be there to back you up, right?
Jiang Yuncheng's sarcastic voice made Jiang Xingyao feel nauseous.
Regardless of the truth behind her marriage to Jin Qingyu, it's disgusting enough that Jiang Yuncheng, as a father, publicly cursed his daughter and son-in-law's relationship to break down in such a public setting.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Stop making empty promises. You think you can back me up? With your abilities, you'll never be able to make the Jiang family and the Jin family equal in your next life."
Instead of worrying about that, you should think about how to fill those holes in your coffers and pay off that mountain of debt.
“That’s none of your business,” Jiang Yuncheng said, tilting his head back with a slightly sarcastic tone. “But Yaoyao, on another note, you’d better work hard and give the Jin family a grandson as soon as possible. Your mother is also waiting to hold her grandson.”
Qu Xinting, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up at Jiang Xingyao after hearing a certain word.
Her gaze was fixed on Jiang Xingyao, as if she hadn't looked away for a while. Jiang Xingyao rarely found her own reflection in her eyes.
A glimmer of hope rose in Jiang Xingyao's heart, and she was about to speak when she saw Qu Xinting take Jiang Yuncheng's arm again. She shook her head and said, "Don't want her child, Yuncheng, you shouldn't have it either. Just having us is enough."
A strong bitter taste rose in Jiang Xingyao's mouth. No matter how many times she was disappointed in Qu Xinting, hearing Qu Xinting's words made her feel as if all her strength had been drained away, and she was swaying on the verge of collapse.
Even if Jiang Yuncheng's motives for making her have a child were impure, and even if she wouldn't reveal her pregnancy, but...
Her mother, who should have been the closest person to her, not only didn't care about her, but even rejected her unborn child.
Jiang Xingyao thought she should have faced reality long ago, but why did she keep having expectations of Qu Xinting?
Jiang Yuncheng seemed surprised that Qu Xinting would be so straightforward. Before, no matter what he said, Qu Xinting would always agree and never refute him.
Jiang Yuncheng frowned slightly and said, "Tingting, you can't say things like that. Yaoyao is our daughter, and her child is your grandchild. You should like her."
"I don't like it, Yuncheng. If you don't like it, I don't like it either."
Didn't you say Jiang Xingyao wasn't as filial as Can Can? Then let's get rid of Jiang Xingyao. Anyway, Can Can will help you pay off your debts, and..."
"Tingting!" Qu Xinting kept babbling on, completely unaware that Jiang Yuncheng's face had turned ashen.
She didn't know what else she wanted to say, but Jiang Yuncheng interrupted her urgently. Qu Xinting pouted and said, "Am I not telling the truth? Jiang Xingyao is not as filial as Cancan, and she can't help you pay off your debts. Just break off your relationship with her. Why are you coming to see her?"
Jiang Xingyao raised her head, staring at Qu Xinting with disbelief.
She didn't understand what Qu Xinting was thinking.
Jiang Cancan is Jiang Yuncheng's illegitimate daughter. How can she accept Jiang Cancan now?
And what about herself? What is she anyway? Just because she didn't listen to Jiang Yuncheng, is she going to cut ties with her?
Jiang Xingyao felt an endless chill envelop her entire body, so cold that she couldn't breathe at all.
Jiang Yuncheng was also stunned by Qu Xinting's words. He said, "Tingting, you can't say such things. Jiang Xingyao is the daughter you carried for ten months. No matter how immature she is, she is still our daughter. You can't mention severing ties anymore. Yaoyao would be so sad if she heard that."
"Why can't I mention it? She doesn't listen to you, and you don't like her, so just break it off and get rid of her." Qu Xinting persisted.
Every word she uttered was like a stone, striking Jiang Xingyao's heart precisely and painfully, almost causing her to spasm.
Jiang Xingyao wanted to ask her if she really didn't care about her at all, but Qu Xinting didn't even look at her, and she couldn't see the expression on Qu Xinting's face.
But then Qu Xinting said maliciously, "Nobody wants a rebellious and disobedient child like that anyway."
Tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it, blurring her vision. She even slumped so low she almost fell off the sofa. Just then, a hand pressed down on her shoulder from behind.
Someone sat down behind her, and she was right next to the man in his arms. She smelled a faint scent of ebony.
Jin Qingyu said, "I want to, Auntie, Yaoyao is a member of the Jin family. Even if you are her mother, you have no right to belittle her like this."
Our Yaoyao never needed to be obedient. After marrying me, she no longer needs to bow down to anyone.
As for you, instead of blaming Yao Yao for being disobedient, you should first wake up and look at what you've been doing all these years.
The last few words Jin Qingyu said were exactly what Jiang Xingyao wanted to say.
She had long wanted to question Qu Xinting and ask her if she knew what she was doing.
The eldest daughter of the prestigious Qu family had to humble herself and serve a live-in son-in-law like a slave.
Even after her son-in-law seized the Qu family's property, when she returned, she not only allowed the mistress to live in her home, but also treated the mistress's daughter as her own.
Just thinking about these things made Jiang Xingyao feel an overwhelming sense of nausea.
"Oh son-in-law, don't get angry. Tingting just hasn't been around people for a while, so she's been a bit outspoken. I'll take her over there to calm her down." Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Jiang Yuncheng quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
His overly subservient demeanor in front of Jin Qingyu was completely different from his earlier behavior.
He was about to leave with Qu Xinting when Jin Qingyu stopped him: "Wait, you came here while I was away and started gossiping about my wife. We haven't settled that score yet. You two should apologize to Yao Yao."
Jiang Yuncheng was always willing to bend over, so the embarrassment only flashed across his face for a moment before he readily agreed, saying, "My son-in-law is right. I apologize to Yao Yao for my loss of composure just now."
Seeing my son-in-law and Yaoyao so loving, I, as their father, am relieved. You've been married for over a year now, you'd better try harder and have a baby soon…”
Jiang Yuncheng made some polite remarks, but he wanted to bring up the issue of urging Jin Qingyu to have children directly.
Just then, Qu Xinting suddenly shrieked, "Give birth to what? Jiang Xingyao is so wicked, the child she gives birth to will definitely be bad. She shouldn't have given birth to the child. It would be better if Jiang Xingyao couldn't have the child."
As if his body had lost its last support, Jiang Xingyao felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.
She thought the baby must have heard what her grandmother said and was feeling wronged.
But there were too many people here, and Jiang Xingyao didn't even dare to touch her lower abdomen, worried that Jiang Yuncheng would notice something.
Jin Qingyu could feel the person in his arms trembling. He took off his coat and draped it over Jiang Xingyao's shoulders, then picked her up and said, "Yaoyao, don't listen to them. Our Yaoyao is great. Even if Yaoyao has a baby in the future, it will definitely be a smart and intelligent little princess like you."
Jiang Xingyao couldn't hear what Jin Qingyu was saying at all. A strong sense of suffocation overwhelmed her, making it difficult for her to even think.
Jin Qingyu carried Jiang Xingyao past Jiang Yuncheng. Seeing that something was wrong, President Gu quickly came over and asked, "What's wrong, President Jin? What happened to Mrs. Jin?"
"I'll take my wife upstairs to rest for a while. I'd appreciate it if Mr. Gu could find someone to keep an eye on these two and make sure they don't leave before I get back," Jin Qingyu said.
Jiang Cancan, who was watching from a distance, came over just in time to hear Jin Qingyu's instructions. She said, "Mr. Jin, what are you doing? All the dignitaries are here today, and we're all family. Why can't we talk about this at home? Why do we have to do it here..."
She wanted to remind Jin Qingyu that family scandals should not be aired in public, but before she could finish speaking, Jin Qingyu glared at her fiercely and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and don't mention family. Today, President Jiang and Mrs. Jiang made it clear that they want to sever ties with my wife, so there's no need to talk about family anymore."
What?
Jiang Cancan looked at Jiang Yuncheng in shock, completely unable to believe that Jiang Yuncheng could do such a thing.
Jiang Yuncheng also looked pale and sickly.
He still wanted to use Jiang Xingyao to make money off the Jin family, so how could he possibly have really offended her to death? He was just using coercion and bribery, employing some petty tricks to make Jiang Xingyao obey.
He didn't know how things had escalated to this point, not only breaking Jiang Xingyao's heart but also completely offending Jin Qingyu.
"Son-in-law, look, this is all a misunderstanding, I..." Jiang Yuncheng tried to explain, but Jin Qingyu simply picked up Jiang Xingyao and strode past him.
President Gu also stepped in front of him: "Mr. Jiang, if you have something to say, let's talk about it later."
