"Aunt Kang, I'm not angry with the governor, don't worry."

Seeing his magnanimity, Kang Ruoxi felt a surge of gratitude and said, "Then Auntie can rest assured. It was Auntie who was wrong back then. I never expected that you would not only not blame me, but also genuinely treat the governor as a younger brother. Auntie is truly grateful to you."

"Auntie is joking." Qin Zhouyu looked at the woman in front of him who spoke well of his son in every word, and felt neither anger nor sorrow.

Over the years, he had long since become numb.

However, when he occasionally saw Kang Ruoxi showing concern for Qin Zhoumu, he wondered if she still remembered that she had a daughter when she was here with her beloved man and their child, enjoying a happy family life.

……

When Qin Zhouyu was ten years old, Qin Jingxiao and Bo Jiangdai divorced because Qin Jingxiao had an affair with Kang Ruoxi, who was then Mrs. Liang.

They were each other's first love.

The two had another home outside, where their love child—Qin Zhoumu—was born.

As a child, he mischievously hid in his parents' closet, intending to surprise Bo Jiangdai when she returned.

The thought of his mother opening the closet and seeing him, then helplessly picking him up and coaxing him to play, made Qin Zhouyu chuckle out loud inside the closet.

Upon hearing footsteps, Qin Zhouyu quickly covered his mouth, preparing to wait for Bo Jiangdai to open the wardrobe door.

However, through the crack in the wardrobe door, they saw Qin Jingxiao and Bo Jiangdai walk into the room with solemn expressions.

He saw the two of them sitting at a large mahogany table. Qin Jingxiao took a document out of his briefcase, signed it, and then handed it to Bo Jiangdai.

Bo Jiangdai flipped through the document pages, looked at it for a while, and then signed her name on it.

After she finished signing, she rudely threw the document in Qin Jingxiao's face.

Qin Jingxiao picked up the documents that had fallen to the ground, his face filled with remorse. "Jiang Dai, I'm sorry. I don't blame you for hating me."

"Hate you? You're quite good at making yourself look good." Bo Jiangdai scoffed. "I look down on you."

"Qinzhou Mu, what a beautiful word 'Mu'! I remember her daughter with Liang Qiancong was named Liang Qing."

“Liang Qing, two hearts in love.” Bo Jiangdai read it aloud, her words filled with undisguised sarcasm. “What, are you trying to tell the whole world that you, Qin Xiaojing and Kang Ruoxi, this ‘adulterous couple,’ are actually the epitome of true love, ‘If love between two people lasts forever, why should they be together day and night?’”

"I'm not trying to be mean, but it's one thing to be shameless, but why drag innocent children into it? Aren't you afraid the children will feel disgusted when they grow up and find out!"

Qin Xiaojing's face darkened as he was scolded by her. He said with dissatisfaction, "Jiang Dai, don't go too far."

Bo Jiangdai was too lazy to care about his pride and sneered, "You had the nerve to do such a thing, but now you can't even save face because of what people say about you? That's really strange."

Qin Xiaojing suppressed his anger and said, "Anyway, our marriage was just an arrangement between our parents. You have no feelings for me either. Divorce would be better for both of us, so why are you being so aggressive?"

Bo Jiangdai sensed the attempt to excuse herself in his words and bluntly tore away his pretense, "Now you want to bring up feelings? Since feelings are so important to you, why didn't you stand up for yourself and refuse this marriage in the first place? Why did Kang Ruoxi marry Liang Qiancong? In the end, it's simply because you couldn't bear to part with the old man's shares, and she didn't want to live a hard life with you."

"You got the old man's company by marrying me, and now you have the company firmly in your hands. You no longer have to live at the mercy of the old man, so you can't wait to divorce me. Isn't it all so that you can have a proper status and stop sneaking around?"

When Bo Jiangdai touched on his most painful past, Qin Xiaojing lost all face and said sternly, "Enough! I don't want to argue with you."

Bo Jiangdai rolled her eyes at him, as if she were laughing at his anger and embarrassment.

Qin Xiaojing knew he was in the wrong, so he had to suppress his temper. After calming down for a while, he began to speak again: "Zhou Mu doesn't know about these things between me and his mother. I only told him that my father didn't want me to marry Ruo Xi, so I haven't brought him home yet. I've already taken care of the people who know, and I've also put in some effort with my father. He won't say anything. I also need you and me to announce to the outside world that we went through divorce proceedings two years after our marriage. It's just that Zhou Yu is still young, so we haven't announced it yet. As compensation, when Zhou Yu grows up, I will give him 10% of Qin's shares."

Bo Jiangdai suddenly stood up from her chair, pointed at Qin Jingxiao and cursed: "All these years you have never cared about Zhou Yu, never asked him if he was warm enough or slept well, but now you want to use him to give your other son a good reputation. You are utterly shameless!"

A hint of guilt flashed across Qin Jingxiao's face, but it disappeared in an instant. He put on a stern face and said, "Go ahead and curse if you want, but I believe that with your intelligence, you know what the best course of action is."

Looking at his shameless face, Bo Jiangdai felt increasingly disgusted. She said coldly, "Don't worry, I will do as you say, but not for your Qin family's filthy money. It's just to prevent Zhou Yu from being tarnished because of your immoral father. After this is over, I will take Zhou Yu to Germany."

Qin Xiaojing visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had agreed. He got up and put the documents into his briefcase, saying, "Whether you want them or not, I will give Zhou Yu what I should. I have no objection to you taking Zhou Yu to Germany, but you have to ask my father if he agrees. Zhou Yu has always been the apple of his eye."

Bo Jiangdai glanced at him impatiently, "Get lost."

After Qin Jingxiao left, Bo Jiangdai sat back down in her chair, rested her elbows on the armrests, pressed her head, and pondered, "If we want to take Zhou Yu away, we really need to inform the old man first. After all, although the son is a scoundrel, the father is a good one. After marrying into the family, he has indeed treated me like his own daughter, and he cherishes Zhou Yu like a precious jewel."

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh, "But how should I tell Zhou Yu?"

Bo Jiangdai sat in her chair, thinking for an entire afternoon, but she still couldn't decide how to tell Qin Zhouyu about this in a way that would minimize the harm to him.

As night fell, Bo Jiangdai prepared to take a shower. When she opened the wardrobe door to get her clothes, she found Qin Zhouyu sitting inside, kneeling with his lips pursed and pale, his face streaked with tears.

Seeing this, Bo Jiangdai was terrified and panicked. She quickly took Qin Zhouyu out of the wardrobe, put him on a chair, touched his face, and said with heartache, "My darling, what happened to you?"
