At this point, Bo Jingcheng looked at her with displeasure, "Look at you now, so petty and calculating, how can you be like the young mistress of the Bo family?"
Jiang Xinyue gave a bitter smile. "Me, being petty? Fine, if you want Shen Siyao to move in, I have no objection. You may do as you please!"
After saying that, she ignored them and quickly walked upstairs. When she returned to her room, she leaned weakly against the door, and tears finally streamed down her face.
She felt like she had become an unwanted person in this family, and all her past efforts had become a joke.
Now, even her most beloved son has started to hate her. She doesn't know what to do, she only knows that she can no longer stay in this house.
Jiang Xinyue suddenly thought of something and summoned the system.
"System, what is Bo Jingcheng's current level of affection for me?"
[Returning to host, the male lead, Bo Jingcheng, currently has a 90% affinity level with you.]
Sure enough, after Shen Siyao returned, Bo Jingcheng's favorability towards her continued to decline.
"System, what would happen if I said I was giving up on the strategy?"
[Host, I told you five years ago that if you failed in your mission, you would be eliminated by the system.]
Yes! Five years ago, she was too arrogant, thinking that she could definitely complete the task and that as long as she was sincere, he would be moved.
Now, she's tired and doesn't want to continue the strategy anymore.
"System, I'm tired. Even if I'm about to disappear from this world, I don't want to continue anymore."
[If the male lead's affection for you drops to 10%, the mission will be considered a failure, and you will disappear from this world and be unable to return to your original world. Host, please think carefully.]
The rain was falling softly outside the window, hitting the glass and blurring her vision, just like her confused state of mind at that moment.
She sat quietly by the window, gazing blankly into the distance, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
After a long silence, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly spoke: "System, I don't care anymore. I've given everything in these five years, but now I've ended up like this. Maybe from the very beginning, this was a mistake."
Her voice carried a hint of weariness and resolve.
[Host, are you really not going to reconsider? You have family and friends in your original world, and they are waiting for you to return.]
The system's voice carried a rare hint of anxiety.
She shook her head with a bitter smile: "I've already given up once here, wasting five years of my youth. Can I ever go back now?"
Just then, the doorbell rang.
She paused for a moment, then got up to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Bo Jingcheng's tall figure appeared in the doorway.
"What's up?"
"Wife, I want to discuss something with you." Bo Jingcheng stammered, completely forgetting the unpleasantness from earlier.
"What is it?"
“Siyao just returned to China and can’t find a job. I want her to join the Bo Group and become my secretary.”
How did Bo Jingcheng manage to say that without batting an eye? She had nowhere to stay, so he brought her into his home.
She was unemployed, and he arranged for her to work in his company without saying a word. Did he ever consider how she, as his wife, felt?
Or is he keeping his "white moonlight" under his nose so they can flirt and rekindle their old flame?
“Okay!” Jiang Xinyue agreed without hesitation. “Since you’ve already made all the arrangements, you don’t need to discuss it with me.”
Bo Jingcheng frowned, sensing a hint of resentment in her tone.
But he didn't think much of it, assuming she was just in a bad mood, and said, "Honey, don't overthink it. I just feel sorry for her. After all, we used to be friends."
She couldn't help but sneer. Friends? That's such a lame excuse.
"Okay, I got it. Don't bother me unless it's important."
After saying that, she was about to close the door.
Bo Jingcheng reached out to block the door. "Wife, what's wrong with you lately? You seem very cold towards me."
She looked directly into his eyes. "Bo Jingcheng, have you forgotten how you treated me after Jiang Xinyue came back? What are you pretending to be so affectionate for now?"
Bo Jingcheng was taken aback, seemingly wanting to explain, but unsure where to begin.
She took a deep breath. "You can let Jiang Xinyue into the company, but I hope you remember that I am your wife. Don't do anything to embarrass me."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut, slid down to the floor with her back against it, and finally burst into tears.
The despair in her heart deepened. Perhaps it really was time to give up, whether for her own dignity or for her broken heart.
the next day.
Jiang Xinyue had insomnia last night, and Bo Jingcheng slept in the study again.
It was the weekend, so she didn't have to take her son to kindergarten. After she finished washing up, she went to her son's room first.
I pushed open the door and found the room empty.
She hurried downstairs, only to hear laughter coming from the restaurant below.
"Aunt Siyao, your breakfast is so delicious, a hundred times better than my mom's."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Her heart felt as if it had been struck a heavy blow; her son's words were like a sharp blade piercing her chest.
She never imagined that the child she had raised with such care would say such a thing so easily.
"Xuanxuan, you can't say that about your mother. She works very hard too." This was Shen Siyao's voice, but it sounded somewhat perfunctory.
Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then slowly walked into the restaurant.
Seeing the harmonious scene at the dinner table, she felt it was incredibly jarring.
