Jiang Xinyue felt increasingly wronged and angry. In this seemingly familiar yet utterly unfamiliar home, she felt as if she had become an unwanted person.
"Am I really an outsider in their hearts now?" Jiang Xinyue murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
After a long while, Jiang Xinyue got up and began tidying up the room.
She mechanically sorted through Bo Xuan's toys, each one carrying memories of the past.
Suddenly, she found a small notebook in the corner of the cabinet, with the words "My Secret with Mommy" scrawled on it.
Jiang Xinyue opened the notebook, inside which were simple line drawings of her and Bo Xuan holding hands, along with some childish words: "Mommy, I miss you so much. When are you coming back to play with me? I love Mommy the most."
Seeing all this, Jiang Xinyue burst into tears. She realized how much she cared about Bo Xuan and firmly believed that her son's love for her had never changed.
She decided she couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Jiang Xinyue quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and went out to the zoo.
She knew that Bo Xuan and the others must be here.
In the zoo, Jiang Xinyue searched everywhere for a familiar figure.
Finally, outside the panda enclosure, she saw Bo Jingcheng, Bo Xuan, and Shen Siyao.
Bo Xuan, perched on Bo Jingcheng's shoulders, was excitedly pointing at the panda and gesturing wildly.
Meanwhile, Shen Siyao stood to the side, affectionately holding her husband's hand, as if they were the family.
And she was the one who was always superfluous.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but sneer, which only strengthened her resolve to get a divorce.
She must fight for custody of her son.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyue did not appear to disturb them. Instead, she took out her phone and took photos and videos as evidence of Bo Jingcheng's infidelity in the future.
After taking the photos and videos, Jiang Xinyue put her phone back in her bag, her eyes becoming increasingly determined.
She observed quietly for a while longer and saw that Bo Jingcheng did not resist Shen Siyao's affectionate actions at all. The two chatted and laughed, completely ignoring Bo Xuan riding on his shoulders.
This caused Jiang Xinyue a pang of pain in her heart; she knew all too well that her marriage was on the verge of collapse.
In order to gain custody of her son, Jiang Xinyue decided to quietly gather more evidence.
Then, she turned and left the zoo, making a phone call to her best friend, Qin Ruolin.
"Hey, Xinyue."
Qin Ruolin's voice came through the phone, "I heard you moved back to the Bo family home. You wouldn't have softened your heart and don't want a divorce anymore, would you?"
Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm: "Ruolin, I did waver before, but just now I saw Bo Jingcheng and Shen Siyao at the zoo, they were so intimate, like a married couple. I feel like I'm the outsider here. I've made up my mind to get a divorce now, and I must get custody of Xuanxuan."
“Xinyue, I told you long ago that Bo Jingcheng is completely unreliable. You see, as soon as his white moonlight came back, he showed his true colors. Sure enough, no man is any good.”
Qin Ruolin is a lawyer, and the cases she has handled the most are divorce cases.
Therefore, in Qin Ruolin's mind, all men in the world are equally despicable.
Listening to Qin Ruolin's complaints about men, Jiang Xinyue felt a mix of emotions. Knowing her friend was concerned for her, she said, "Ruolin, let's not talk about this now. Help me think of a way to ensure I get custody of Xuanxuan. I took some intimate photos and videos of them today; how much will that help?"
Qin Ruolin cleared her throat and said seriously, "Photos and videos are definitely useful, but not enough. We need to prove that Bo Jingcheng not only made mistakes in the marriage, but is also unsuitable to raise a child in every way. For example, does he have any bad habits, is his job stable, and is he responsible for accompanying and educating Xuanxuan, etc."
Jiang Xinyue pondered for a moment and said, "Bad habits... Bo Jingcheng doesn't have any. As for work, he's always had a smooth career at the company, so I might not have an advantage in that regard. But when it comes to spending time together, he has indeed neglected Xuanxuan since Shen Siyao came back."
Qin Ruolin nodded on the other end of the phone: "That's a good starting point. You can record how he neglects Xuanxuan, such as not being there when the child is sick, or not spending time with the child on important holidays. In addition, you also need to demonstrate that you have good parenting conditions. How is your current financial situation?"
Jiang Xinyue said helplessly, "I haven't worked since I got married. I've been a full-time housewife, and I don't have much savings now."
Qin Ruolin comforted her, "It's alright. Now that you're back in the game, countless companies are eager to poach you! Xinyue, let me tell you, your good fortune is yet to come."
At this point, Qin Ruolin paused, then continued, "Once you have a stable job, it will prove that you have a source of income and can provide Xuanxuan with a good living environment. Also, you need to spend more time with Xuanxuan and make him clearly express his desire to live with you, which is also crucial in court."
"Okay, I got it." Jiang Xinyue nodded. "Ruolin, thank you. I feel much more at ease with you here."
"Do we sisters need to be so formal with each other?"
Jiang Xinyue smiled slightly, "I'll treat you to dinner another day."
She chatted with Qin Ruolin for a few more minutes before Jiang Xinyue hung up the phone.
Back at the Bo family villa, Jiang Xinyue opened her laptop and began sending out resumes to various outstanding listed companies.
She also put her designs up for sale on the internet.
Soon, a mysterious person bought all of her designs at a high price.
Jiang Xinyue added the mysterious person's contact information through the platform.
The mysterious person's portrait was a moon pattern that looked somewhat familiar.
"Which big shot bought my work?"
Just as Jiang Xinyue was wondering, the other party sent a question mark.
Jiang Xinyue quickly replied.
Hello! Did you purchase all of my design works?
The other party replied quickly: "It's me. Your design is very creative, I really like it."
Jiang Xinyue was overjoyed and quickly typed: 【Thank you so much for your recognition! However, is there a special purpose for you buying all my works at once?】
The mysterious person seemed to ponder for a moment before replying: "I admire your talent and believe these works have great potential. If you have any new works in the future, please feel free to contact me first."
Jiang Xinyue stared at her phone screen, her heart filled with doubt, but even more so with excitement. This sudden recognition was undoubtedly an affirmation of her abilities, and it also gave her more financial confidence in her fight for custody.
【Okay, thank you again! I wonder how I should address you from now on?】Jiang Xinyue replied.
The mysterious person remained silent for a moment. Just when Jiang Xinyue thought there would be no reply, a message popped up: "Just call me Moon."
“Moon? The moon…” Jiang Xinyue murmured the name, feeling more and more that this mysterious person exuded an air of mystery.
However, she doesn't have time to investigate further right now, as winning custody is the top priority.
