Suddenly, Jiang Xinyue's phone vibrated. It was a message from Shengshi Group, informing her that she needed to arrive half an hour early the next day to participate in an important new employee training session.
After replying to the message, Jiang Xinyue placed her phone on the table and looked up to meet Bo Jingcheng's probing gaze.
Bo Jingcheng broke the silence: "Wife, I think you shouldn't go out to work. I'm worried you'll overwork yourself."
Jiang Xinyue sneered, thinking that he was now pretending to care. She replied perfunctorily, "Xuanxuan is in kindergarten now, and Aunt Xiu can help with picking him up and dropping him off. I can easily find a job to support myself."
At this point, Jiang Xinyue looked up at Bo Jingcheng, "Honey, if you really care about me, why not give me half of the shares in the Bo Group? I might consider not going out to work and becoming a full-time housewife."
Back then, in order to revive the Bo Group, she used almost all her savings to work hard with him.
Therefore, her request is not excessive.
On the contrary, Bo Jingcheng's handsome face immediately darkened when he heard her request.
He suppressed his displeasure, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "Xin Yue, stop joking. How can you joke about company shares? They're the foundation of the Bo family. How can I easily give you half?"
Looking at his selfish appearance, Jiang Xinyue felt even more disappointed and sneered, "Are you kidding me? I've sacrificed so much for the Bo Group, and now I want half the shares. It's just taking back what I deserve. You keep saying you care about me, but you're not even willing to do this much. Your genuine care is really cheap."
"You..." Bo Jingcheng wanted to get angry, but since they were outside and there were other people present, he could only suppress his anger.
Lin Yue secretly cheered for Jiang Xinyue, feeling that she had finally stopped enduring everything.
Bo Jingcheng was silent for a moment, then softened his tone and said, "Xinyue, let's talk about the shares later, let's not discuss this now. If you really want to go to work, I won't stop you, I'm just worried that you'll work too hard."
Jiang Xinyue wasn't buying his act at all and retorted directly, "Hard work? Haven't I worried enough over the years for this family and to help you stabilize the company?"
Bo Jingcheng was speechless, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, Bo Xuan sensed the oppressive atmosphere at home, timidly knelt down in front of Jiang Xinyue, took her hand, and asked, "Mommy, what's wrong? Are you angry again?"
Jiang Xinyue looked at her son's innocent eyes and her heart softened. She patted his head and said, "It's okay, baby, Mommy isn't angry."
Taking the opportunity, Bo Jingcheng changed the subject, forcing a smile at Bo Xuan: "Xuanxuan, did you have fun today?"
Bo Xuan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in a childish voice, "I'm happy, but I want my mom and dad to play with me."
As he spoke, his gaze darted back and forth between Jiang Xinyue and Bo Jingcheng, his little hand still tightly gripping the hem of Jiang Xinyue's clothes.
Chen Siyao sat to the side, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
Jiang Xinyue said gently to Bo Xuan, "Baby, be good. Mommy will play with you more after I'm done with this busy period."
After saying that, she looked at Bo Jingcheng with a distant look in her eyes: "Since you are so worried about my hard work, why don't you spend more time taking care of Xuanxuan and the family in the future?"
Then, Jiang Xinyue stood up, took Bo Xuan's hand, turned to Lin Yue and said, "Let's go!"
Lin Yue nodded. "Okay."
Unexpectedly, Bo Xuan broke free from Jiang Xinyue's hand and immediately ran to Bo Jingcheng's side, "Mommy, I'm not leaving, I want to stay with Daddy a little longer."
Jiang Xinyue's hand froze in mid-air. It would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed. This was her own son, whom she had carried for ten months and given birth to with great difficulty.
When Bo Jingcheng saw his son running towards him, a hint of smugness flashed across his face. He picked up Bo Xuan and said, "Good boy, Xuanxuan. You can play here with Daddy for a while longer. Let Mommy go back and rest first."
Shen Siyao quickly stepped forward, putting on a kind expression to tease Bo Xuan: "Xuanxuan is so cute, how about Auntie plays with you?"
Jiang Xinyue felt a pang of pain in her heart as she watched this scene, always thinking that her son was closer to her.
But in the blink of an eye, her son would always choose her over Bo Jingcheng.
Jiang Xinyue's eyes reddened slightly, but she quickly composed herself. "Alright then! Lin Yue and I will go first."
After saying that, Jiang Xinyue turned and left.
Seeing her forlorn figure, Lin Yue's sympathy deepened, and she quickly followed, calling out, "Sister Xinyue, wait for me!"
As Jiang Xinyue stepped out of the dessert shop, a cold wind howled past, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but step forward to comfort her, "Sister Xinyue, don't take it too seriously. The child is still young and doesn't understand these things."
Jiang Xinyue forced a bitter smile. "I know, but I still feel a little sad."
The two walked side by side down the street, their shadows stretched long by the dim streetlights.
Lin Yue hesitated several times, wanting to speak up for her but feeling that it was her family matter and that she, as an outsider, shouldn't interfere.
Jiang Xinyue guessed what she was thinking and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Are you trying to ask if I pretended not to see it when I clearly did, right?"
Lin Yue nodded. "Sister Xinyue, since you know your husband is cheating on you, why are you still so calm?"
Jiang Xinyue's smile became even more sarcastic. "Because I knew about it the moment that woman returned to the country."
"You can tolerate this?" Lin Yue's eyes widened. "Your husband is right under your nose, and he's arranging for his mistress to be his secretary at the company. You don't have any objections? If it were me, I would have filed for divorce long ago."
