"Three, two, one!"
With everyone present as witnesses, Jiang Minghui held Shen Qingwan's hand and cut the birthday cake.
With so many people around, Jiang Minghui couldn't help but eagerly present himself as a good husband.
He knelt on one knee, took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket, and looked at Shen Qingwan with deep affection.
"Happy birthday, Qingwan."
The gift box was opened, revealing a pair of exquisite blue gemstone earrings.
"Wow, President Jiang is so romantic."
"Mr. Jiang, hurry up and put it on your wife!"
Jiang Minghui took out the earrings from the gift box and was about to put them on Shen Qingwan when a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Oh, so President Jiang recently bought that set of jewelry at a high price at the auction as a birthday gift for his wife. How thoughtful of him."
“I remember now, it’s that Heart of the Ocean set, where is the necklace? Is Mr. Jiang planning to give the necklace to Mrs. Jiang privately as a surprise? Don’t be shy, let Mrs. Jiang wear it out and let us see it.”
Jiang Minghui looked embarrassed, and his hand holding the gift box clenched uncomfortably.
"The Heart of the Ocean?" Shen Qingwan asked, voicing the question that had been lingering in her mind.
"Yes, Mrs. Jiang, you probably don't know yet, but I heard that the Heart of the Ocean set represents true love. Mr. Jiang really cares about you."
Shen Qingwan glanced down at the earrings, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
It seems the necklace was the highlight of that jewelry set, and now he's giving her earrings.
What about the necklace?
Shen Qingwan looked at Jiang Minghui with a quiet gaze.
Jiang Minghui felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze, and unconsciously frowned. He laughed awkwardly, "Please stop teasing me, everyone. After I received the necklace, I found some things I wasn't satisfied with, so I had it altered..."
That's a bit of a lie.
Seeing the fine sweat on his forehead, Shen Qingwan's doubts deepened.
Just then, she heard Jiang Ran's inner thoughts.
He used the necklace to please his mistress.
"......"
That's really true!
Shen Qingwan's lips fell into a gloomy smile, her eyes filled with darkness.
He used the more expensive necklace to please the mistress, and gave her the earrings made from the leftover scraps.
good!
very good!
The onlookers also heard Jiang Ran's inner thoughts, and each of them secretly grumbled in their hearts.
So Jiang Minghui had a mistress outside?
Then why does he always put on the persona of a good husband?
It turns out it was all an act. He should have gone into acting; he's been doing it for so many years and no one has ever suspected him!
So, Jiang Minghui only rose to prominence because of the Shen family, right?
He's barely settled in, and he's already keeping a mistress.
The wealthy wives present secretly resolved that their daughters must never marry a man like Jiang Minghui, a man from a humble background who has achieved success despite his circumstances.
Some of the men present expressed their disdain for his behavior, while others felt it was nothing, except that President Jiang was being inconsiderate. After all, the outsiders were outsiders, and he should at least give the more valuable necklaces to his family.
Shen Qingwan suppressed her anger and did not expose him in public. Instead, she took Jiang Ran to greet the guests.
Such occasions are the fastest way to make connections.
Meanwhile, Jiang Minghui, with an unfamiliar face, was exchanging pleasantries with his colleagues one by one.
Standing next to him was a young man of about twenty-four or twenty-five, wearing a well-tailored black suit, with not a single stray hair on his forehead, looking energetic and capable.
"President Jiang, who is this gentleman?"
Jiang Minghui paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "His name is Jiang Xinglin. He is the child of a distant relative of mine. His parents died young from a terminal illness, so I had no choice but to take him in. He is also like my son."
"President Jiang is truly kind-hearted."
"Sigh, this child is smart, hardworking and capable. I've put him in Jiang's to do some simple work for me. I'll have to ask you bosses to take good care of him in the future."
Jiang Ran and Shen Qingwan, who were not far away, also noticed the strange thing.
Looking at this unfamiliar man, Shen Qingwan was somewhat puzzled, but Jiang Ran's eyes were filled with hatred.
This man...
Shen Qingwan called over her trusted confidante, Aunt Zhang, and glanced at her and then at the strange man not far away. Aunt Zhang immediately understood.
Who exactly is this unfamiliar young man? Jiang Minghui seems to care about him a lot, and even took him to meet some industry executives.
He is Jiang Xinglin, the illegitimate son of Jiang Minghui and his mistress.
These words made Shen Qingwan lose her balance, and she almost dropped the wine glass in her hand.
Xiao Ran... what was Xiao Ran saying just now?
Shen Qingwan's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She couldn't believe it...
Besides having Jiang Xinrou as his illegitimate daughter, Jiang Minghui also has an illegitimate son?
Shen Qingwan gasped for breath, her gaze fixed on the young man in the crowd.
He looks to be the same age as Huai Jing...
In other words, when she was pregnant with Huaijing, Jiang Minghui's mistress was also pregnant.
She became pregnant with Huaijing a month after their marriage; it turned out he and his mistress had been having an affair for so long...
He had deceived himself for so long...
This isn't just one or two years, it's a full twenty-five years!
Now, he actually brought his illegitimate son to his birthday party and introduced him to those CEOs in the industry. Does he want to hand over the Jiang family business to his illegitimate son?
He cared so much about his illegitimate child, but he never cared about Huaijing!
