Chapter 157 A poor match for a man, a son who is not a good man
Lin Zhixin's mind was buzzing; every word Jiang Shiyuan uttered felt like a nuclear bomb to her!
She always thought that this wretched woman had gotten incredibly lucky, or that she had secretly taken medication to prevent miscarriage and thus conceived the Xie family's child. Moreover, Xie Jinghuai had repeatedly stated in front of a group of friends in Beijing's elite circles that he didn't like children, and the idea of having a child with a woman he didn't love only fueled her disgust.
But now it seems that the one who really wanted Jiang Shiyuan to have a child was Xie Jinghuai himself!
Indeed, all crows are black; a man's words are deceitful!
"Jiang Shiyuan... what do you mean by that?"
Xie Jinghuai's heart skipped a beat, his handsome face darkening to the extreme, as if a dense, dark storm was brewing beneath it. "Explain yourself!"
"If I could live my life all over again, I would never marry you, let alone have a child with you."
Jiang Shiyuan smiled brightly at the petrified Lin Zhixin, "As for Miss Lin, you really should thank me. Without me, would you have become this stepmother?"
"Jiang Shiyuan!"
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily, "Today, if you don't give me an explanation, you're not leaving here!"
Jiang Shiyuan wanted to laugh when she heard this.
For five years, this man ignored her completely, showing no concern whatsoever. Aside from sexual intimacy, they were husband and wife; otherwise, they were strangers living under the same roof but in separate rooms.
Now, seeing that the marriage is almost over, he has become angry and anxious, and refuses to let her go.
Unfortunately, she will no longer cry, agonize, or linger for him.
Jiang Shiyuan wasn't a short girl, but compared to Xie Jinghuai, who was 1.9 meters tall, there was still a significant height difference. Her gaze inevitably swept over the man's clean and delicate collar.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she was shocked to see—
Three years ago, she personally crafted a silver lapel pin for him, which now stands prominently across the man's crisp shirt collar!
She couldn't be mistaken; this lapel pin adorned with vibrant green jade was made by her, and it's one of a kind in the whole world!
How did he discover it?
Why did he suddenly dig out those old things, and why did he wear them? Wasn't he always dismissive of them?
Xie Jinghuai was in a fit of anger and completely failed to notice Jiang Shiyuan's subtly changed expression.
Dead memories have returned.
She recalled the days when she stayed up all night making gifts and preparing surprises for Xie Jinghuai, the feelings of anticipation and disappointment time and time again.
After marriage, she worked in the research and development department, receiving only the minimum internship salary. Although Xie Jinghuai gave her a supplementary black card, she never spent a single penny of it.
She had no material desires and was always frugal with her own food, clothing, and daily necessities, but she was exceptionally generous to Xie Jinghuai and did her best to treat him well.
The two small, vibrant green jade stones on this lapel pin were money she had saved up for a long time to buy. But in the eyes of a top-tier conglomerate like the Xie family, they were just two insignificant pebbles.
It turns out that from the very beginning, Xie Jinghuai was a mountain she tried her best to climb, but could never reach the top of.
The same jadeite could be easily given to Lin Zhixin by Xie Jinghuai, but she emptied her pockets by buying such a small amount.
really.
Qi Da is not a good match, and you are not a good man.
Lin Zhixin clutched her heaving chest, so angry that her vision blurred!
Perhaps it was a side effect of the medication, but her head was indeed spinning. Her delicate body trembled, and she leaned against Xie Jinghuai.
"Brother Jinghuai...I...feel unwell..."
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes darkened, and he immediately supported Lin Zhixin, his long arm naturally encircling her slender waist.
Jiang Shiyuan indifferently withdrew her gaze, a sour feeling welling up in her eyes.
It wasn't because Xie Jinghuai was so caring towards Lin Zhixin in front of her; she was just reminded of her past self—awkward, timid, humble, and desperately longing to be loved.
"Jinghuai, you heard it too. Jiang Shiyuan has absolutely no love for you, and she has no maternal affection for Tongtong whatsoever! Why are you still keeping such a fickle woman by your side?!"
Supported by Qin Zhao, Madam Xie angrily pointed at Jiang Shiyuan's tall and graceful back, "Divorce! We must divorce her immediately! This kind of vicious woman doesn't deserve to be a member of the Xie family!"
"If you don't divorce her today, then from now on, don't call me 'Mom'!"
Madam Xie knew that today was an excellent opportunity.
She knew Xie Jinghuai was filial, so she threatened to sever their mother-son relationship, morally blackmailing him.
This time, we must make sure Jiang Shiyuan cuts off all ties with his son completely!
Xie Jinghuai stood there motionless, his jawline taut.
His aura was low and oppressive.
"Sister, no matter how unpleasant things were between you and Brother Jinghuai, no matter how much you don't want to stay, I beg you... at least wait until Tongtong is safely rescued and wakes up before you leave... okay?"
Lin Zhixin leaned weakly against Xie Jinghuai's chest, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes, breathing softly, "No child doesn't want to see their mother as soon as possible... If Tongtong wakes up and doesn't see you... his heart will only ache more."
Please, sister... please don't make the child sad anymore, okay? I beg you..."
Xie Jinghuai said in a calm and gentle voice, "Zhixin, don't let your emotions fluctuate too much; it's not good for your health."
"Jinghuai! Open your eyes and take a good look! Zhixin is the woman who truly loves you and Tongtong! Jiang Shiyuan is a filthy, rotten woman!"
Madam Xie seized the opportunity and continued to brainwash Xie Jinghuai, saying, "Only a gentle and kind girl like Zhixin, who only thinks of you, is worthy to be your wife, the young mistress of our Xie family!"
You've already made one mistake; don't miss out on the right person again!
Lin Zhixin sobbed, but her heart was filled with joy!
Xie Jinghuai's thin lips were pressed together until they turned white, his obscure and complex gaze fixed on Jiang Shiyuan's indifferent and ruthless face.
"Since you've already missed it once, don't miss it a second time. That's a good saying!"
Upon hearing the clear, magnetic male voice, everyone was startled and turned around in unison.
Jiang Shiyuan also turned around, her heart pounding wildly.
In the blinding, bright sunlight, Fu Chenzhou's tall figure appeared against the light, his black trench coat swaying and fluttering with his elegant steps.
"Dad!" Fu Yansi's eyes lit up as he excitedly called out.
Fu Chenzhou's beautiful, full lips parted in a smile, exuding an air of pride, nobility, and untamed freedom, like the wind rustling through a bamboo forest.
Xing Zhen followed behind him, walking straight to Xie Jinghuai. He first patted his son's head, then his captivating eyes, like shimmering spring water, swept over Jiang Shiyuan without leaving a trace, finally settling coldly on Lin Zhixin's pitiful face:
"After all, birds of a feather flock together. Miss Lin is such a skilled actress, ruthless, and cunning. She and Xie are a match made in heaven."
