"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Jiang Xinyue raised her whiskey and clinked glasses with Fu Heng.
The two exchanged a smile and then drank it all in one gulp.
The Bo family villa.
When Jiang Xinyue returned home, Bo Jingcheng had not yet come back, and even her son Bo Xuan was not there.
She turned on the light, went to the living room, poured herself a glass of water, and tried to sober up.
Then, she went to the French windows, looked at the night outside, took out her phone, and couldn't help but make a call to her son.
When her son isn't around, she likes to call him.
The call ended quickly before the other party could answer.
Jiang Xinyue was not giving up and tried to hit her son again.
As expected, the call ended.
Immediately afterwards, her son sent her a voice message.
"Mommy, my smartwatch is out of battery, please don't call me anymore."
As expected, when Jiang Xinyue called, the smartwatch was already switched off.
She knew perfectly well that Bo Xuan should be with Jiang Xinyue, Bo Jingcheng, and Shen Siyao at this moment.
But Jiang Xinyue still couldn't stop the pain in her heart. She drank the bottled water in her hand in one gulp. Although it had no taste, she felt it was extremely bitter.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Xinyue was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
Despite Bo Jingcheng and his son's careful movements, Jiang Xinyue still heard them open the door and whisper in conversation.
"Shh, Xuanxuan, keep your voice down, don't wake your mommy up."
"Dad, don't worry! Mom is already asleep, she definitely doesn't know we're back."
Bo Jingcheng secretly placed the gift in his hand on the bedside table.
"When your mom wakes up and sees the surprise I prepared for her, she'll definitely be moved to tears."
Bo Jingcheng looked at the sleeping Jiang Xinyue with a confident smile on his handsome face.
Bo Xuan nodded vigorously and whispered, "Dad, Mommy loves jewelry necklaces the most. If she sees how much you put into it, she'll definitely be even more attached to us and won't think about running away from home anymore."
"Yes! You mustn't tell your mommy that your Aunt Chen also has this necklace."
“Dad, I won’t tell Mom. I know this necklace was a birthday gift you gave to Aunt Siyao. I bought her an identical one because I was afraid she would be angry.”
Listening to the conversation between the father and son, Jiang Xinyue lay on her side on the bed without moving, but her hands clenched involuntarily.
Sure enough, ever since Shen Siyao returned to China, Bo Jingcheng has always included a gift for her among all the gifts he gives her.
Even her own son helped Bo Jingcheng deceive her.
At this moment, Jiang Xinyue felt as if her heart was being torn apart, but she still had to pretend to be asleep, as if she hadn't heard anything, and as if she knew nothing, to play along with their act.
"Come on! Daddy will take you to bed."
Soon, the room became quiet.
She vaguely heard the sound of the door closing, and the footsteps grew fainter and fainter.
The next second, Jiang Xinyue suddenly opened her eyes.
Jiang Xinyue slowly sat up. Moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto her face, revealing two lines of clear tears.
She picked up the gift Bo Jingcheng had placed on the bedside table, her fingers gently stroking the exquisite packaging box, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She got up, wearing her pajamas and barefoot, and walked step by step towards the study.
In the study, their sweet memories still remain, but now, those memories are like sharp blades, piercing her heart.
She opened the drawer and found their old wedding photos. The two of them were smiling brightly in the photos, but now everything has changed.
Just then, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Fu Heng: "I'll keep tonight's events a secret. Remember to be at work on time tomorrow."
As Jiang Xinyue read the message, Fu Heng's sincere smile came to mind, a stark contrast to Bo Jingcheng's hypocrisy.
She suddenly realized that she could no longer continue like this, being kept in the dark by Bo Jingcheng and her son, living a life of self-deception.
So she replied to Fu Heng.
Okay, Mr. Fu.
The next morning, Bo Jingcheng and Bo Xuan got up and found Jiang Xinyue already sitting at the dining table, looking calm.
"Honey, why are you up so early?"
Bo Jingcheng walked over with a smile, wanting to hug Jiang Xinyue, but she gently avoided him.
"Jingcheng, let's talk." Jiang Xinyue's voice was completely calm.
Bo Jingcheng felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition creeping over him. He and Bo Xuan exchanged a glance and sat down.
"Where did you go last night? And Xuanxuan, why didn't you answer my calls?"
Jiang Xinyue knew perfectly well what was going on, but she just wanted to see what kind of lies Bo Jingcheng and his men would come up with to deceive her.
Jiang Xinyue sneered, "Help Dad? Help Dad secretly celebrate Shen Siyao's birthday without telling me?"
Bo Jingcheng and Bo Xuan's faces turned deathly pale instantly. The father and son stared at each other, speechless for a moment.
"Yueyue, let me explain, it's not what you think." Bo Jingcheng hurriedly stood up, walked to Jiang Xinyue's side, and tried to take her hand, but she shook him off forcefully.
"Explain? What's there to explain? Don't you know how much I've sacrificed for this family all these years? Ever since Shen Siyao came back, do you still care about me? Do you still care about this family?" Jiang Xinyue's voice trembled slightly, and her suppressed anger and grievances finally erupted.
Bo Jingcheng stammered, "I... I just felt that it was normal for a friend to give a gift after not seeing each other for so many years. I didn't say anything because I was afraid you would misunderstand."
"I already know, are you still planning to keep it from me?" Jiang Xinyue said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingcheng knew he couldn't hide it anymore. He quickly grabbed Jiang Xinyue's hand and said anxiously, "Wife, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I was just afraid you would be jealous and angry. You have to believe me, the person I love most is you. Shen Siyao is a thing of the past for me."
