Mrs. Shi was still dressed in an imposing manner today, wearing an eye-catching dark purple skirt, a black suit jacket, and black high heels.
She is so beautiful. Looking at her like this, Shi Chuan's eyes are as ruthless as hers.
Dadada——
She walked closer and closer, and Jiang Qiao could smell the perfume on her.
Mrs. Shi has good taste. She doesn't use strong, pungent fragrances, but a cool fragrance that makes people want to keep a distance from her.
Jiang Qiao even felt that in the next second, the lady would throw a check worth a fortune at her, look at her with disdain and say, "I'll give you 100 million, but don't get close to my son."
"Mrs. Shi, is there anything I can help you with? It's not working hours yet. If you want to find Shi Chuan, you need to go to the restaurant. Do you want me to lead the way?" Jiang Qiao said with a smile. Although she didn't have a good impression of the woman in front of her, she was willing to help because she was Shi Chuan's mother.
Mrs. Shi looked at the face that looked so much like her late husband and was stunned for a moment.
She thought, if she knew Jiang Qiao would look so much like him when he grew up, she would not be so impatient to start that fire, but would calmly negotiate terms with the traitor...
"I'm not looking for him, Miss Jiang. I'm here to see you. Do you have time to talk to me?"
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a few seconds and agreed.
Jiang Qiao took her to the reception room, which was on the same floor as Shi Chuan's office.
"Would you like some coffee, ma'am?"
"No, just plain water will do."
Jiang Qiao poured a glass of water and handed it over.
The lady was looking at her the whole time, and Jiang Qiao felt a little uncomfortable.
"What did you want to talk to me about, ma'am?"
Madam Shi leaned back and changed into a comfortable position. She called Jiang Qiao's name, "Jiang Qiao... I liked you the first time I saw you. You look a lot like my deceased lover. We were once very much in love. Do you want to hear our story?"
To be honest, Jiang Qiao didn't believe what she said. Madam Shi was lying to her and she didn't like him at all.
Jiang Qiao was not interested in listening to her story, but she couldn't afford to offend anyone.
"Of course, I'm happy to be a listener."
The love story of Shi Tingzhou and Yu Yun was a bit boring, similar to the novels she read to kill time. The only difference was that the male protagonist Shi Tingzhou died too early.
Yu Yun is Mrs. Shi’s real name.
Jiang Qiao wasn't sure if there were any adaptations in Yu Yun's story. At the end, she sighed a few times, saying things like, "You two are so in love," and "Mr. Shi is so good to you."
Yu Yun could tell that she was being perfunctory, but Jiang Qiao acted as if he was treating her sincerely.
Yu Yun felt that she and Shi Tingzhou were not alike at all, as Shi Tingzhou would never give him a perfunctory response.
"The last thing he said to me was to protect the Shi family for him. Of course I did that. After he left, I felt that nothing was more important than protecting the Shi family."
"Jiang Qiao, do you think it's amazing that I've developed the Shi family to this point?"
Jiang Qiao nodded, "Of course, Madam Shi is the most powerful female boss I have ever met."
There is no doubt that Mrs. Shi is ruthless and decisive in her actions, otherwise the Shi family would not have been able to move to a higher level.
After hearing Jiang Qiao's answer, Yu Yun's lips couldn't stop trembling, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes. However, in just a moment, the tears that were about to burst out were forcibly held back.
Jiang Qiao thought she was sad because she was thinking about her deceased husband, so she handed her some papers.
It's almost time to go to work.
"Mrs. Shi, it's almost time. I have to leave first. Please do as you please. Usually no one comes to this reception room."
Yu Yun lost all her strength as she watched Jiang Qiao leave. A tear fell into the white water she had poured herself, creating faint ripples.
"Forgive me...Jiang Qiao..."
Look, how helpless I am. I should have lived a carefree life, but my husband died. I have to shoulder the responsibility of this family and protect everything he left behind. I have no choice but to do so many things...
Yu Yun is a lunatic, she is plotting against her own child...
Jiang Qiao, after knowing the truth, you won't hate me anymore, right? You will understand me, right? You will feel sorry for me, right?
Throughout the whole process, Yu Yun only told one lie, which was that she liked Jiang Qiao the first time she met her. To be honest, she was more missing him at that time. She missed Shi Tingzhou too much...
——
When Jiang Qiao returned to the office, Shi Chuan was already there. She did not tell him that Mrs. Shi came to see her.
Her mind was in a mess. She always felt that everyone was weird, including Madam Shi. Why did she tell her that she looked like her dead husband?
Don't you know that we poor people are afraid of these things? They are so unlucky.
"Jiang Qiao."
Shi Chuan suddenly called her.
Jiang Qiao snapped back to his senses, "I'm here, what's wrong?"
Actually, it’s okay. Shi Chuan just wanted to call her, “Please print out some information for me.”
"oh."
Jiang Qiao went to print the information.
After get off work in the afternoon, Jiang Qiao and Shi Chuan went home together since they were going the same way.
Chi Mu went out to buy food and hasn't come back yet.
When Jiang Qiao came out of the shower, Chi Mu had already prepared the meal.
She had something on her mind all day long, as Chi Mu was hiding something from her.
Jiang Qiao didn't like misunderstandings, so she just said it directly.
"Chi Mu, did you know? There is a pinhole camera at the door of my house."
When he heard this, Chi Mu stopped picking up the food and had a bad feeling in his heart, and then listened to her again.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Shi Chuan, Chi Mu, please don't hide it from me, okay?"
The precious jade was shattered on the ground in front of Chi Mu. He had no time to feel sorry, he just felt heartbroken.
She heard it all.
After a long time, Chi Mu took action. He stood up and walked to the wardrobe. He raised his hand and took out a piece of information from the top shelf of the cabinet that Jiang Qiao could not reach.
He had prepared this information a long time ago, but Chi Mu still couldn't tell her the truth in person.
I originally thought it would take a long time for her to see it, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon.
The dim light shone on the table. Jiang Qiao slowly opened the document. The turning of the paper made a slight sound, which was particularly clear in the silent space.
She was very familiar with every word in the information, but when they appeared in front of her in this combination, she felt extremely unfamiliar.
Her eyes wandered between the lines, her brows gradually furrowed, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the paper. The suffocating truths were like a cold tide, drowning her bit by bit. Her breathing became rapid and her heartbeat became more and more disordered.
The beauty she once believed in began to crumble in the face of this information. The dark facts hidden beneath the surface were like sharp blades, ruthlessly cutting through the disguise of life.
Jiang Qiao's eyes were first filled with shock, then turned into pain and confusion. His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but the words were choked in his throat.
Tears began to well up in my eyes, like a full lake about to burst its banks. The tears sparkled with crystal light under the refraction of the light, but they were filled with endless sorrow.
Chi Mu wiped her tears and reached out to pull her into his arms. Her tears were like beads that had broken off the string, dripping one after another onto his clothes, leaving a small dark mark.
"Chi Mu, it turns out the truth is not as good as I thought..."
