Chapter 206: The Past (2)
When Jian Changsheng abandoned Wang Yunmei and their son, Wang Yunmei was already more than a month pregnant. At that time, Jian Ai was in her mother’s stomach and had no idea about all of this.
Jian Yu was only three years old. He couldn’t remember anything. Hence, he didn’t have any impression of Jian Changsheng.
Disheartened, Wang Yunmei took Jian Yu away from the house where she lived with Jian Changsheng and returned to South City to live. After a month, she gave birth to her daughter and named her Jian Ai.
After Jian Changsheng left, he went to the capital. When he was young, Jian Changsheng was so handsome and refined that Qiao Shuyi fell in love with him at first sight. With their parents’ help, they got married. Everything seemed to happen naturally.
However, after they got married, Qiao Shuyi felt Jian Changsheng’s coldness and alienation towards her. He would only show a smile to her when outsiders were present. In private, except for two or three times a week, he rarely took the initiative to talk to her.
Even so, Qiao Shuyi still loved Jian Changsheng and believed that time would reveal a man’s heart.
Because of this, she didn’t go out to work and rarely attended cocktail parties and social gatherings in upper-class societies. She stayed at home wholeheartedly and became a good wife for Jian Changsheng.
Fortunately, Qiao Shuyi got pregnant less than two months after the wedding. The baby was born eight months later and was named Yiyi.
Jian Yiyi was less than half a year younger than Jian Ai.
The birth of his daughter made Jian Changsheng’s attitude towards Qiao Shuyi change tremendously. Perhaps it was only when he faced his flesh and blood that Jian Changsheng felt like he had a home. The guilt he felt towards Wang Yunmei had almost been obliterated by the passage of time.
Two years later, Qiao Shuyi gave birth to another son, named Jian Yichen.
Qiao Shuyi played a huge role in making her parents-in-law very happy. Jian Changsheng successfully took over the Jian Group and doted on his children very much. He also fell in love with his wife, Qiao Shuyi, over time.
Qiao Shuyi was satisfied and happy to finally receive the response of her loved one. She had been by Jian Changsheng’s side for more than ten years, but because of this, she became increasingly dependent on Jian Changsheng.
The Group’s business grew, and Jian Changsheng spent less time at home. Their son was with his grandparents, so the father-daughter pair was closer. Their children were also at the age of rebellion, so they rarely spoke to her about their heartfelt emotions.
In the huge Jian family villa, Qiao Shuyi often sat alone in the living room in a daze.
However, she was willing to endure it. Her love for Jian Changsheng could be said to have reached an extremely high level, and she had long lost herself.
Not long after, Nanny Xu came down from the second floor but Jian Yiyi couldn’t be seen.
Qiao Shuyi looked up and understood. “Not alright yet?”
Nanny Xu shook her head helplessly. “Why don’t you eat first, Madam?”
Qiao Shuyi sighed and nodded. Her daughter was obedient in front of Changsheng, but only she, her mother, knew how arrogant and rebellious her daughter was.
When she reached home after school today, she went upstairs without a word. Seeing her unhappy expression, Qiao Shuyi did not take the initiative to speak to her.
Just as she was about to eat, she heard the door open.
Joy filled Qiao Shuyi’s face, and she instantly radiated with vitality. She was like a puppet that suddenly came to life, and she quickly stood up and walked out to welcome him.
Seeing this, Nanny Xu sighed silently.
“Husband, you’re back!”
Jian Changsheng had returned.
As Qiao Shuyi went up to help him remove his suit and tie, she asked with concern, “Are you hungry? Nanny Xu just made dinner. I’m about to eat.”
