The press conference continued despite the setbacks, with models reappearing to showcase the exquisite jewelry.
Jiang Xinyue stood backstage, gazing at the dazzling lights on stage. At that moment, her design received cheers from the entire audience and won everyone's favor.
After the press conference, Bo Jingcheng found Jiang Xinyue.
"Xinyue, wait a moment."
Bo Jingcheng chased after her and immediately grabbed Jiang Xinyue's arm, preventing her from leaving.
"Let go!" Jiang Xinyue struggled, her face full of displeasure, and subconsciously shook off Bo Jingcheng's hand.
Bo Jingcheng was thrown to the ground, his hand frozen in mid-air, a look of embarrassment and helplessness on his face.
But he still refused to give up, and stepped forward again, saying urgently, "Xinyue, I know I was wrong. Can't you give me a chance to explain? I really didn't mean to hurt you."
Jiang Xinyue sneered, her eyes full of mockery: "Explain? Bo Jingcheng, what's there to explain now? We've been husband and wife for five years, and it turns out you've been secretly in contact with Shen Siyao all along. I always thought you'd forgotten her long ago. I never imagined you'd casually give her my design drafts, allowing her to accuse me of plagiarism in front of everyone. These past five years, I've given you so much, and this is how you repay me?"
Bo Jingcheng lowered his head, overwhelmed by guilt: "Xinyue, I really regret it. At that time, I didn't know that Linda was you. I... I just wanted to help Siyao. I didn't expect her to do such a thing."
"Help her?" Jiang Xinyue laughed angrily. "Bo Jingcheng, you are truly laughable. You keep saying you love me, yet you betray me behind my back. I think you have never loved me at all; you only love yourself and your white moonlight, Chen Siyao."
Bo Jingcheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with pain: "Xinyue, it's not like that. I admit that I did have feelings for Siyao before, but that's all in the past. Since I got together with you, you're the only one in my heart. It's just that I was confused for a moment and did something wrong."
Jiang Xinyue shook her head, her eyes resolute: "Bo Jingcheng, the past is the past. I don't want to hear your explanations anymore, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. From today onwards, everything between us is over. See you in court on the 8th of next month. I want to settle things with you once and for all."
After saying that, Jiang Xinyue turned to leave.
Bo Jingcheng watched her retreating figure, a wave of panic washing over him. He knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity, he would truly lose her.
So, disregarding everything, he chased after her again, shouting, "Xinyue, I love you! I can't live without you!"
Jiang Xinyue paused, but ultimately didn't turn around. Her voice came: "Bo Jingcheng, love isn't about words, it's about actions. What you've done has broken my heart. I can never come back to you. I hope you'll think twice before you act."
Bo Jingcheng stood there blankly, staring in the direction where Jiang Xinyue had disappeared, tears blurring his vision.
He finally realized how foolish he had been to push away the woman who loved him so dearly.
Now, he can only bear the pain of losing her alone in endless regret.
On the other side, Jiang Xinyue walked out of the hotel and took a deep breath of the outside air, as if to dispel the gloom in her heart.
She looked up at the dazzling stars in the sky, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Having gone through all of this, she became stronger and clearer about what she wanted.
Fu Shuheng was already waiting outside. When he saw Jiang Xinyue come out, he walked up to her and said gently, "Xinyue, are you alright?"
Jiang Xinyue smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, thank you for helping me today."
Fu Shuheng looked at her, his eyes full of admiration and heartache: "No need to thank me. You are so outstanding, you deserve better. From now on, I will be with you, and you will no longer be alone."
Jiang Xinyue nodded, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
She knew that in this world, besides herself, there were other people willing to support her and protect her.
"Xinyue, where do you want to go? I'll take you."
After Jiang Xinyue got into Fu Shuheng's luxury car, he looked at her tenderly and said, "How about I treat you to a big meal tonight?"
"Sure!" Jiang Xinyue replied without hesitation, "Consider it a treat from President Fu to his little employee!"
"You're not just some lowly employee, you're my lucky star," Fu Shuheng said with a smile.
Inside the restaurant, soft lighting casts a warm glow, and the enticing aroma of delicious food fills the air.
Fu Shuheng carefully pulled out a chair for Jiang Xinyue, and only sat down opposite her after she was seated.
The waiter handed over the menu, and Fu Shuheng smiled and pushed it in front of Jiang Xinyue: "What would you like to eat? Order whatever you like. Today we should properly celebrate the successful press conference."
Jiang Xinyue took the menu, her eyes shining, and flipped through it with great interest, occasionally exchanging a few words with Fu Shuheng as she selected dishes.
Before long, a variety of exquisite dishes were laid out on the table.
Jiang Xinyue took a sip of red wine, looked up at Fu Shuheng, and said sincerely, "President Fu, thank you for taking care of me during this time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would have faced all of this."
Fu Shuheng waved his hand and said seriously, "Xinyue, don't be so formal. I've said it before, I'll support you no matter what you do."
At this point, Fu Shuheng paused, as if he had thought of something, and quickly said, "You're telling me all this, not to say goodbye, are you? Are you really leaving?"
Upon hearing Fu Shuheng's words, Jiang Xinyue was slightly taken aback, then gently shook her head, her eyes flickering: "President Fu, don't overthink it. I have no intention of leaving Shengshi Group. This is where my career is starting anew, how could I leave so easily?"
A genuine smile appeared on her face, which looked even more gentle in the candlelight.
Fu Shuheng breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed, and a smile returned to his face. "That's good. I thought you were leaving. You're a pillar of our company. Without you, I don't know how I would carry out my work."
The two smiled at each other and continued their meal. During the meal, Fu Shuheng casually mentioned, "By the way, the company has an important international jewelry exhibition next month, and I was thinking of having you lead the team to participate. Would you be willing? It's a great opportunity to showcase your talents on the international stage."
Jiang Xinyue's eyes lit up, filled with surprise and anticipation. "Really? Mr. Fu, of course I'm willing! I will do my best and won't let you down." Having such an opportunity was a great encouragement to her and an excellent chance to prove herself.
Looking at her excited expression, Fu Shuheng felt gratified. "I believe in you. At this exhibition, we must let the world see the charm of Chinese jewelry design."
His eyes revealed determination and trust, which greatly encouraged Jiang Xinyue.
Meanwhile, Bo Jingcheng returned to the Bo family home, drunk.
Looking at this villa, it was empty and desolate.
The old man took his son to the old house in the countryside, telling him to focus on winning Jiang Xinyue back, but he messed it up, making him increasingly disappointed in himself.
"Xinyue, I was wrong, please don't leave me..."
