But that object, it was so familiar that she had to admit it.
Long ago, when Jiang Shihan was visiting the Beichen Family, she inadvertently saw that bracelet.
At the time, she was quite curious and thought the bracelet was beautiful, wanting Mr. Bei Chen to give it to her. However, Beichen Jue told her that it was meant for Beichen Rui’s future wife.
It was a family heirloom passed down through generations, not something that could be given away casually, so Jiang Shihan gave up on the idea.
Yet, seeing the bracelet again, now on another woman’s wrist, truly hurt her eyes.
Wasn’t it said to be a family heirloom? Then why would it be on Ye Xinluo’s hand?
She glanced suspiciously at Beichen Rui, a suspicion formed in her mind... Could it be that Ye Xinluo had met Mr. Bei Chen and he liked her... so he wanted her to be his granddaughter-in-law?
The thought in her heart startled her, not wanting to stay there any longer, she grabbed her bag and left Beichen Building, using an excuse that she had something to do later.
Ye Xinluo came out of the break room, and Jiang Shihan had already left. She glanced at the man sitting in the chair, said nothing further, picked up the documents, and went out.
Once the office door was closed, Beichen Rui put down his pen, rubbed his brow, and leaned feebly on his chair.
He picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and retrieved the photos that person had sent him, which Mo Han had transferred from the broken phone for him.
In the photos, Ye Xinluo and Gong Shaoyu were close together, but upon closer inspection, there were discrepancies. For example, Beichen Rui noticed the presence of Jingxi next to them.
Recalling the emotions surging in her eyes when he broke the watch last night, he cursed himself in his heart.
It was the first time she bought something for him, and he ended up breaking it in anger. Jingxi was right, he was so stupid, simply brainless.
The only thing to blame was his burning anger when seeing the photos; he didn’t think through who sent them, what the purpose was, or even closely examine the photos before rushing to accuse.
[Beichen Rui, have you never trusted me?]
In his mind, he recalled Ye Xinluo’s face, uncontrollably emotional when she said this line, feeling as if a sharp blade cut into his heart, causing an uncomfortable sensation.
He turned his head, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows. The brilliant sunlight shone in but could not reach his heart.
Ye Xinluo returned to her seat, took the document, skimmed through it, and then began her work.
...
In the evening, Jiang Shihan returned home. Mother Jiang was watching TV in the living room; upon seeing her, she immediately called out, "Shihan, you’re back. I made something for you. Are you hungry?"
Jiang Shihan paid no attention, headed straight to her bedroom, leaving Mother Jiang startled. Seeing her in a distracted state, she instinctively got up and followed her into the bedroom.
Entering the room, Mother Jiang pulled her onto the sofa, a bit worried, and asked, "Shihan, what’s the matter? Did something happen?"
Jiang Shihan pressed her lips, saying nothing, and hugged her waist, resting her head on her shoulder.
Mother Jiang, heartaching for her daughter, didn’t press further, simply reached out and gently stroked her back.
After a while, Jiang Shihan calmed down and finally spoke, "Mom, is it really possible that Rui and I won’t happen?"
At these words, Mother Jiang laughed, "Silly child, how could that be? What are you thinking all day? Your engagement with Arui was decided when you were kids, how could it just break like that?"
