Jiang Yanshen moved his knee to face her, but he still remained kneeling. He reached out and held her small hand in his palm.
Seeing that he was silent, Lin Qingqian didn’t say anything and accompanied him quietly.
Jiang Yanshen’s thick eyelashes drooped. After a moment of silence, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “How’s Yunshen?”
“The moment he woke up, he wanted to look for your second aunt. I couldn’t stop him, so I could only tell him the truth.” Lin Qingqian’s voice was dull.
Thinking of Jiang Yunshen, her heart ached. “The doctor gave him a stabilizer. He should remain asleep until tomorrow morning.”
Jiang Yanshen nodded. “Gu Xici said that the case is basically very clear. Second
Aunt committed suicide after murdering her husband to protect Yunshen.”
Hearing his words, Lin Qingqian felt that something was wrong. “Could it be that the truth isn’t like this?”
Jiang Yanshen’s lowered eyelashes fluttered as he looked at her, the strength in his fingertips tightening involuntarily. “That’s the truth, but there’s something suspicious. ”
“What’s suspicious?”
“Most hotels don’t keep fruit knives in their suites unless the guests request them.’
Only then did Lin Qingqian realize that something was wrong. “Then what did Gu Xici say after investigating?
“The results of the investigation are that the last tenant had ordered some fruits to eat, so they gave him a fruit knife. However, they forgot to take the fruit knife away when they were cleaning the room.”
Lin Qingqian blinked. “An accident?”
This indeed looked like an accident.
Jiang Yanshen didn’t answer and his thin lips curled up slightly. “Grandma suspects that I set a trap for Jiang Chongjing.”
“How is that possible?” Lin Qingqian’s bright eyes were filled with disbelief. “How would you know that Jiang Chongjing would force Yunshen to sell his shares? You—”
Before she could finish her sentence, she met his dark eyes and her breathing stopped…
“You knew?!!”
Her eyes were filled with confusion, but her tone was firm. She felt as if she had fallen into a cold lake and couldn’t breathe.
Jiang Yanshen didn’t deny it and said unhurriedly, “Jiang Chongjing’s debt is too high. If he can’t repay it, he can only go to jail. His only hope is to sell the shares in Yunshen’s hands.”
Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily, and her voice became much lower, “He doesn’t know that it was you who’s buying the shares. So, even without Grandma’s shares, you will still be the largest shareholder of
Tianyue, and no one can shake your position anymore.”
Jiang Yanshen looked at her with his black eyes and nodded without hesitation.
“Yes.”
He nad promised ner tnat ne would trust ner and would not lie to ner again.
Lin Qingqian’s heart trembled. She grabbed his hand and bit her lip as she asked, “Were you the one who caused Jiang Chongjing’s death?”
Jiang Yanshen did not answer and asked, “Would you believe me if I said no?”
“I’ll believe you if you say no!”
“I didn’t,” Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking.
His voice was firm, and there was no guilt in his clean and bright black eyes. Lin Qingqian held his hand with both hands and said gently, “I believe you.”
Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips slightly, and his eyes lit up. He held her hand and said gently, “Go back and rest.”
Lin Qingqian shook her head. “I want to accompany you.”
“You still have to work tomorrow.” He was punished by the old lady to kneel here all night.
Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. “I won’t be busy these few days. It’s enough with Suisui and Xiao Bai around.”
Jiang Yanshen knew that he couldn’t persuade her and didn’t say anything else. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. “Thank you.”
Lin Qingqian was so frightened that she hurriedly leaned back and glanced guiltily at the memorial tablets of the Jiang Family’s ancestors. “Stop fooling around. The ancestors are watching.”
Such frivolity was disrespectful to their ancestors.
Jiang Yanshen’s black eyes were calm, as if he didn’t care about those tablets at all. It was only because of the old lady’s punishment that he knelt here.
“Are you tired?” He asked. She had worked all day and was taking care of Jiang Yunshen at the hospital. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable fatigue.
Lin Qingqian shook her head. “No.”
Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her eyebrows and said in a low voice, “If you’re tired, lean on me and rest for a while.”
Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before getting up and moving the futon to his side. She sat down and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Jiang Yanshen turned his head and kissed her hair, his black eyes filled with smiles.
Even if the old lady didn’t believe him… no, even if the entire world didn’t believe him. He still had Lin Qingqian.
Lin Qingqian alone was enough.
Lin Qingqian originally wanted to lean against him and close her eyes to rest for a while, but in the end, she fell asleep unknowingly.
In a daze, she heard movement and opened her eyes. Before she could react, she heard Jiang Yanshen’s low and hoarse voice. “Grandma is here.”
Lin Qingqian turned around and saw Madam Liu helping Old Madam Jiang over slowly. She wanted to stand up, but her legs were numb.
Old Madam Jiang frowned slightly when she saw Lin Qingqian. “Qianqian, why are you here?”
“Madam Liu, quickly help Qianqian up.”
“Yes,” Madam Liu replied and immediately went forward to help Lin Qingqian up.
Lin Qingqian’s legs were extremely numb. If no one supported her, she would not be able to stand up at all. When Jiang Yanshen wanted to help her up— The old lady’s cold eyes swept over. “Did I ask you to get up?
Jiang Yanshen’s knee that had left the ground fell to the ground again.
Lin Qingqian’s eyes were filled with heartache as she looked at Old Madam Jiang pleadingly. “Grandma…”
The old lady still doted on Lin Qingqian and instructed Madam Liu, “Help
Qianqian back to rest.”
“Yes.” Madam Liu supported Lin Qingqian and said respectfully, “Miss
Qingqian, let’s go back.”
“But—”
Lin Qingqian wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Jiang Yanshen. “Be good and go back to rest.”
His low and hoarse voice sounded.
Lin Qingqian looked at him for a few seconds before finally giving in.
Madam Liu helped her out of the ancestral hall step by step and walked towards the villa in the dark night.
It was quiet late at night, and the street lamps emitted a faint light. Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but turn around and see the figure in the ancestral hall. She couldn’t hide the worry in her bright eyes.
Madam Liu comforted her. “Miss Qingqian, don’t worry. Although Old Madam is strict with Yanshen, her heart still aches for him.”
Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes, her red lips curled up slightly, and she said with a faint smile, “Is that so? Since it aches, why doesn’t she believe him?”
“This—” Madam Liu wanted to say something but hesitated. She smiled and said, “Miss Qingqian, let’s go back.”
Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and glanced at her. In the end, she did not say anything else.
In the ancestral hall, the candles had shed tears all night, and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer. Old Madam Jiang lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the stove filled with incense ash. She turned around and looked at the kneeling Jiang Yanshen.
“Do you know why I punished you to kneel here?”
Jiang Yanshen looked up and met her eyes. His thin lips parted slightly. “I know. ”
Old Madam Jiang snorted. “You’re smart, but why can’t you be more benevolent?”
Jiang Yanshen replied without blinking, “You didn’t teach me.”
“Shut up! ” Old Madam Jiang slammed her walking stick against the ground..
