If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Her gaze was intense, fixed intently on Jiang Wanjun's eyes, as if afraid of missing her expression.

"What do you know?"

Jiang Wanjun reached out and hooked her neck, trying to pull her closer to her, but there was a height difference between them.

She had no choice but to tiptoe closer and whisper in Zhu Tingyue's ear, "I know everything."

Zhu Tingyue looked up in shock, frowning at her: "What do you know? Explain yourself clearly, don't be vague."

Jiang Wanyun released her hand, looked directly into her eyes, and laughed: "Did you notice that when I got close to you just now, you didn't flinch! If it were Shen Yanqiu, he wouldn't have gotten this close to me at all! Right? Zhu Tingyue!"

As soon as she said it, Zhu Tingyue finally believed that she really knew.

"How did you tell?"

Jiang Wanyun suddenly became angry and shouted at her, "How could I have known? Zhu Tingyue, we've been friends since we were little. What about you is there that I don't know? You've changed so much now. Even if I were blind, I should have noticed it long ago!"

Zhu Tingyue covered her ears, having not felt her power for a long time, and was a little overwhelmed: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Jiang Wanjun didn't care whether she was right or wrong, and continued to retort: ​​"Zhu Tingyue, such a big thing happened and you didn't tell me, you even kept it from me. Do you even consider me a friend? Do you think I, Jiang Wanjun, am that unreliable?"

"If I hadn't come to ask you, were you planning to keep this from me forever? Was that it, Zhu Tingyue?"

Seeing that she was about to cry, Zhu Tingyue felt sad too and quickly explained, "No, I thought we would switch soon, so I didn't tell anyone. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"Even so, you didn't tell me later! And do you know how I was sure that the 'Zhu Tingyue' from the Zhu family wasn't yours?"

Zhu Tingyue shook her head: "I don't know."

Jiang Wanyun said sadly, "I saw Zhang Cheng at your house!"

"What?" Zhu Tingyue asked in confusion, "Why would he come to my house? Isn't he the one who specializes in feng shui for business people?"

"Aren't you wondering about this too?" Jiang Wanjun asked.

Zhu Tingyue immediately understood from her serious expression: her parents found out! They knew that "Zhu Tingyue" wasn't Zhu Tingyue!

Upon thinking of this, Zhu Tingyue's tears flowed uncontrollably, her lips trembled silently, and her body lost all strength in an instant, going limp. She was supported by Jiang Wanjun and collapsed by the bedside.

"Don't cry, go back and tell them?"

Jiang Wanjun reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

However, those crystal-clear tears seemed endless. Just as a few were wiped away, more tears began to flow continuously from her eyes, sliding down her pale, paper-like face.

Jiang Wanjun's tissue was already soaked, but she showed no sign of giving up and continued to patiently and gently wipe the tissue.

But no matter how hard she tried, the tears flowed like a burst dam, impossible to stop.

They fell drop by drop, quickly soaking Jiang Wanyun's sleeves and rolling down the fabric's texture.

"Yueyue, don't cry. Auntie probably already knows. Let's go tell her!"

Jiang Wanyun felt extremely sorry for Zhu Tingyue. Seeing Zhu Tingyue crying so sadly, she felt sad as well.

Zhu Tingyue couldn't say a word. Just thinking about how heartbroken her parents would be if they found out that the "Zhu Tingyue" in the house wasn't her!

I shouldn't have kept it from them. They love me the most, and I should have told them a long time ago!

The more I thought about it, the sadder I became. My heart felt like it had been torn apart countless times, and every breath I took was filled with a subtle, intense pain.

Jiang Wanjun said nothing more to comfort her, letting her cry to vent her inner pain.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yanqiu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Open the door!"

He must have heard the noise inside the room!

Jiang Wanjun looked at Zhu Tingyue, "Should we open it?"

Zhu Tingyue nodded gently, then slumped down limply.

Jiang Wanjun got up to open the door, and the moment she opened it, Shen Yanqiu pushed it open, and Zhu Tingyue, her face covered in tears, appeared before him.

He strode over, pulled Zhu Tingyue into his arms, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me, and we'll figure it out together, okay?"

Zhu Tingyue cried uncontrollably, unable to answer his words, and simply buried her head in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Unable to get an answer from her, Shen Yanqiu turned to ask Jiang Wanjun, only to find that she had already left!

Is now the time to avoid suspicion?

Shen Yanqiu gently patted Zhu Tingyue's back, silently comforting her.

Once she calmed down a bit, she asked again, "No matter what happens, let's solve it together, okay?"

Zhu Tingyue raised her face, which was covered in tears, making Shen Yanqiu's heart ache with each glance.

"My... parents... know!"

She was still sobbing and couldn't speak in complete sentences, but that was enough to shock Shen Yanqiu!

He didn't even realize it. How did Zhu Tingyue know? Did Jiang Wanjun tell her?

"Was it Jiang Wanjun who said that? That's just how she talks, we don't believe her!"

Zhu Tingyue shook her head firmly: "No...no, what she said...yes, my parents know!"

"Okay, okay, Mom and Dad know, then let's go and tell them the truth. Don't be sad!"

He continued to pat Zhu Tingyue gently, letting her lean on his shoulder, his voice soft and soothing Zhu Tingyue's uneasy heart.

"Okay, now... let's go now!"

Zhu Tingyue leaned on Shen Yanqiu and stood up with his help, but before she could stand up, she fell down again like a gust of wind.

Shen Yanqiu reacted quickly, grabbing her waist and pulling her into his arms.

"Sit here first. Going out like this will arouse suspicion. Rest for a while, and we'll go later."

Shen Yanqiu helped her sit down again and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go get something to eat."

Zhu Tingyue gently shook her head; all she wanted to do right now was see her parents!

Shen Yanqiu held her in his arms, giving her time to calm down.

After the sobbing in her arms stopped, Shen Yanqiu took a tissue and carefully wiped Zhu Tingyue's face clean, little by little, but her red and swollen eyes couldn't lie.

"You sit down first, I'll go get some ice to reduce the swelling." Shen Yanqiu put down what she was holding and got up to leave.

Zhu Tingyue took his hand and looked at him silently, her pale face revealing her vulnerability.

Shen Yanqiu squatted down again, hugged the person in his arms, and whispered, "Okay, I won't go. I'll stay here with you."

Like a small boat ravaged by a storm, Zhu Tingyue, exhausted both physically and mentally, slowly leaned against Shen Yanqiu's warm embrace.

She was like a lone boat that had been adrift in the vast, turbulent sea for a long time, finally finding a warm harbor that could shelter her from the wind and rain and give her endless warmth and peace.

At this moment, her originally anxious heart gradually calmed down, as if all her fatigue and worries had vanished in an instant.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Shen Yanqiu remained quietly holding the person in his arms, without hearing any sound.

So, he subconsciously looked down to check, only to find that Zhu Tingyue had already fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
