Chapter 7 Running Away from Home



Jiang Xinyue's phone rang incessantly throughout the night.

She picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and saw in the video that Bo Jingcheng was taking good care of Shen Siyao, and even her son was personally feeding her fruit.

"Siyao, does it still hurt?"

"Aunt Siyao, I don't like my mommy anymore. She's so mean. She actually tried to hurt you."

"Aunt Siyao, I wish you were my mother."

In the video, Shen Siyao reached out and touched her son's head, smiling brightly: "Xuanxuan, if you want, I can be your mom too."

Bo Xuan clapped his hands excitedly, "Yay! Dad, you and Aunt Siyao should get back together soon! I want her to be my mommy."

Bo Jingcheng looked at them with a doting expression, "Okay."

Seeing these scenes in the video, Jiang Xinyue felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't breathe.

Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she almost dropped her phone.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. The pain of being betrayed by her closest loved ones was truly excruciating.

She once loved this family with all her heart, devoted five years of her life to Bo Jingcheng, and took meticulous care of Xuanxuan. She thought it was her warmest harbor, but now, everything has become so unfamiliar and so cruel.

Her own son so easily wanted someone else to replace her; those hurtful words were like sharp blades, tearing her heart apart.

She must divorce Bo Jingcheng as soon as possible and regain custody of her son.

She absolutely forbids her son from calling anyone else "Mom".

Having not slept all night, Jiang Xinyue got up and began packing her things as soon as dawn broke.

Her movements were mechanical and slow, and when she saw the family photo on the bedside table, memories of the past flooded back.

Seeing this family photo now, Jiang Xinyue felt that all those memories were now just bitterness.

Without hesitation, Jiang Xinyue threw the family photo in her hand into the trash can, took off her wedding ring and a divorce agreement, and placed them on the cabinet.

She dragged her suitcase downstairs.

Aunt Xiu, who was cleaning the house, saw Jiang Xinyue's actions and couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you going on a long trip?"

Jiang Xinyue nodded slightly, "Yes, if Mr. Bo comes back, just say I'm on a business trip."

"Okay." Aunt Xiu nodded in agreement without thinking too much.

Jiang Xinyue was pushing her suitcase when she saw her husband helping Shen Siyao out of the car.

"Siyao, slow down."

"Aunt Siyao, be careful of your head, don't bump it again."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but fall into memories.

In the past, when she was injured, her father and son were just as worried about her.

"Honey, let me help you."

"Mommy, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."

Now, they show great care and concern for other women, but utterly despise her, creating a stark contrast.

They seemed to have spotted Jiang Xinyue as well, and seeing her watching them, Bo Jingcheng felt inexplicably guilty.

He immediately released Shen Siyao's hand, wanting to explain, "Wife, don't misunderstand..."

"What could I possibly misunderstand?" Jiang Xinyue sneered.

Just then, Bo Xuan ran towards her, grabbed her hand, and couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, where are you going?"

Before Jiang Xinyue could speak, Chen Siyao began to feign anger, "Xinyue, you're not still angry with me, are you? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come back and bothered you, I shouldn't have worn your clothes. I'll leave now, please don't run away from home, okay?"

As she spoke, Chen Siyao looked aggrieved and turned to leave.

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingcheng immediately grabbed Shen Siyao's arm, "Siyao, this is not your fault."

Immediately, Bo Jingcheng looked at Jiang Xinyue with disgust, "Jiang Xinyue, Siyao has already apologized to you, and you pushed her. How long do you intend to keep making a scene?"

Bo Xuan also flung Jiang Xinyue's hand away, his little face full of anger, and said, "Mommy, are you deliberately making a scene to run away from home? Do you want to get rid of Aunt Siyao?"

Jiang Xinyue felt a wave of sorrow wash over her as she looked at the scene before her. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said coldly, "I'm not making a scene, and I don't intend to run away from home. I just want to leave this place that disgusts me."

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingcheng frowned even more deeply. "Jiang Xinyue, don't go too far!"

Jiang Xinyue ignored him and squatted down, trying to take Bo Xuan's hand. "Xuanxuan, you were raised by your mother. Why won't even you believe me?"

Bo Xuan stubbornly turned his head away, dodging her hand. "Hmph, you're a bad mother! I'll never trust you again."

Jiang Xinyue's heart was pierced again. She told herself that it was just children's innocent talk, that he was her own son, and that he had just been corrupted by them.

Jiang Xinyue slowly stood up, her gaze sweeping over Bo Xuan and Bo Jingcheng before finally landing on Shen Siyao. "Shen Siyao, with such good acting skills, it's a real pity you're not an actress."

A hint of panic flashed across Shen Siyao's face, but she quickly regained her pitiful appearance. "Xinyue, I really don't know what to do to make you feel better. Jingcheng and I are really just friends."

"Friends?" Jiang Xinyue sneered. "Do you think I'm blind to what you've done?"

After saying that, Jiang Xinyue didn't linger and turned to leave, dragging her suitcase.

She knew that saying anything now would be pointless; she had to leave as soon as possible.

Because she felt nauseous if she stayed even a moment longer.

As Bo Jingcheng watched Jiang Xinyue's departing figure, a sense of unease welled up in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

He comforted himself, thinking that Jiang Xinyue was just throwing a tantrum and that she would be fine once she calmed down.

As Shen Siyao looked in the direction Jiang Xinyue had left, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a subtle, smug smile.

"Jingcheng, did I upset Xinyue again?"

Shen Siyao lowered her head with feigned guilt, her voice choked with sobs, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't come back, your family wouldn't have ended up like this. I'd better leave, so as not to cause you any trouble here."

As she spoke, she pretended to wipe away tears that weren't even there.

Bo Jingcheng quickly patted Shen Siyao's shoulder gently and comforted her tenderly, "Siyao, don't say that. It's not your fault. Jiang Xinyue is just too willful. Don't take it to heart."

His eyes were full of tenderness for Shen Siyao.

Bo Xuan chimed in, "Yes, Aunt Siyao, don't be sad. Dad and I will always be there for you."

After saying that, he held Chen Siyao's hand tightly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xinyue dragged her suitcase and walked heavily to the roadside.

She hailed a taxi, and after getting in, the system's voice sounded in her ear again.

[Host, the male lead's affection for you has currently dropped to 80%.]
