Chapter 557: ***The Truth Behind the Photos***

But asking is useless; he won't say anything even if asked.

Jian Yixin didn't intend to keep asking; she took out her phone to go online—her hand felt empty, the phone had been snatched away.

"What are you doing?"

The anger in her heart was almost impossible to suppress.

Sheng Zerong put his hands behind his back and chuckled: "Hehe, hehe, wifey, how long has it been since we had a heart-to-heart? How about..."

Jian Yixin: "Not long, you talked to me for half the night yesterday."

Actually, her husband hadn't been normal since last night.

He didn't sleep in the middle of the night, nor did he do anything indescribable, but instead pulled her hand to his chest to profess his loyalty.

Later, she asked jokingly: "Why are you acting so strange? Did you do something behind my back to let me down?"

"No... wifey, I'm sleepy." A moment later, the man beside her began to snore.

Last night, she hadn't thought much of it, but now the more she thought, the more suspicious it felt.

Jian Yixin straightened her face, her expression extremely serious: "Sheng Zerong, I'll give you one last chance. Confess to me now, and everything can be discussed. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another."

Sheng Zerong's Adam's apple bobbed faster; he was conflicted.

But in the end, he still managed to squeeze a smile onto his face: "Wifey, don't let your imagination run wild. I have nothing to hide from you."

He lied; it was outside of reason, yet within expectations!

Just as Jian Yixin was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang—"Ring-a-ling!"

Her phone was in Sheng Zerong's hand, and he hurriedly returned it: "Wifey, it's Mom calling."

Her mother-in-law was calling; he couldn't stop her from answering.

Jian Yixin lightly tapped the answer button with her fingertip. Before she could even speak, her mother asked incessantly like a machine gun: "Yixin, where are you? Do you know about that bastard's business? I'm so furious, I'm so furious! I told you back then that there are plenty of good men in the world; why did you have to pick a man from the Sheng Family?"

"There isn't a single good person in the Sheng Family. Look, didn't I say so? My poor daughter... you raise his child, and he still does things to let you down..."

Once Lady Jian started, she couldn't stop. Although there was no main point in her words, after listening for a while, Jian Yixin figured it out: her mother was saying—Sheng Zerong had cheated!

Although she also suspected her husband, it was an internal matter among the people, and she intended to resolve it internally.

Jian Yixin didn't intend to let her mother get involved in the couple's affairs.

Anything, as long as she got involved, whether good or bad, never ended well!

Jian Yixin interrupted her mother: "Mom, who are you listening to nonsense from again? Don't believe everything you hear; we are doing just fine."

"Pah!"

Lady Jian's voice suddenly rose: "Jian Yixin, has your brain been eaten by a dog? Photos of Sheng Zerong fooling around with a woman have been posted on your front door, and you're still doing 'just fine'?"

"What photos?"

Her mother said: "I'm at your house. Come back immediately; I brought the photos."

"Okay."

Jian Yixin hung up the phone and prepared to leave the office, but was blocked by her husband: "Wifey, don't go. Listen to me explain..."

"It's too late."

She coldly interrupted him: "I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it. Move aside."

"No, I won't move!"

Sheng Zerong stood at the door like a child, acting out of spite.

His gaze was heartbroken. He had many things he wanted to say, every word wanting to come out immediately, but they were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a single one.

Consequently, Jian Yixin's gaze grew colder, and her tone became strictly professional: "My mother is waiting at home now. If I don't go back immediately, no one can guarantee whether she will come to the company to make a scene. If you want her to come here and cause trouble, keep blocking me."

Sheng Zerong really wanted to say, let her come, I just won't move!

But he didn't have his older brother's dominance, nor could he say such overbearing words, so he stepped aside.

He watched longingly as his wife brushed past him, her back resolute!

At Jian Yixin's home.

Lady Jian sat on the sofa, aggressive and impatient from waiting.

Just as her last shred of patience was exhausted, her daughter finally returned!

"Let's go, come home with me immediately. We won't be mistreated in this house. Even if a daughter of the Jian Family can't have children, there are still plenty of people pursuing her. If you really can't get married, just stay at home; Mom will support you for the rest of your life." As she spoke, she pulled her daughter to leave.

Lady Jian had even packed her daughter's luggage.

Jian Yixin pulled her mother back and said gently: "Calm down, tell me what happened first?" She sent the servants away, leaving only mother and daughter in the living room.

Her mother, without distinguishing right from wrong, had come to take her away, and Jian Yixin felt warm inside.

No matter how unreasonable her mother was, she was always so good to her!

So she didn't treat her mother the way she treated her husband; she couldn't bear to.

Lady Jian took a few photos from her person and slapped them angrily on the table: "Take a look. Your father has already had a professional look at them, saying it's not some kind of..."

She reminded her: "PS."

Jian Yixin picked up the photos to look. The content was unsuitable for children, the scene hot and explosive.

"Right, that's what you said. Anyway, the photos are real. You don't need to cover for him. I've already asked your servants; Sheng Zerong went to the company and came back very late yesterday."

"Mm, I know."

She calmly tore the photos into pieces and threw them into the trash can, then smiled at her mother: "You go back, I'm fine."

Lady Jian:...

"Yi, Yixin, are you okay? If you want to cry, just cry. It's not shameful to cry in front of Mom. Don't bottle up your grievances, you know? My daughter doesn't need to suffer grievances. No matter what, you still have your father and mother..."

Her daughter didn't cry, but she started crying first.

She felt it wasn't worth it for her daughter, and felt even more that her daughter was forcing a smile in front of her, and the main reason her daughter would do this was because she couldn't have children!

She began to cry, her voice growing louder as she cried, feeling more and more that it was not worth it for her daughter!

"No, I must go settle the score with that heartless, ungrateful wretch. I will make him hand over that vixen he has outside. If I don't tear that shameless woman to pieces to vent my daughter's anger, I won't be able to show my face in Jiangzhou anymore."

Lady Jian's "heroic words" were very sincere and very rough-and-tumble.

Her "all-in" attitude moved Jian Yixin deeply, but she could not let her act recklessly according to her own whims!

"Mom, these are the plane tickets I bought for you and Dad. You two are going to the United States today. My aunt and uncle want you to go over and stay with them, and travel the world together."

The tickets were bought by someone Jian Yixin had arranged on the way back just now.

Going to the United States to live with her aunt and uncle, and taking a trip around the world while she was at it, was also a decision Jian Yixin had made on the spur of the moment!

Her aunt and uncle treated her the same as her biological parents, with infinite doting.

As long as she made a request, there was nothing they would not agree to.

So, after she called them long-distance to discuss it, they agreed immediately.

"No, I'm not leaving."

Lady Jian refused flatly; of course, if she absolutely had to leave, she would take her along.

"You must be thirsty, right? I'll go pour you some water."

Even though there was a water dispenser in the living room, Jian Yixin went into the room first, then went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water and brought it over.

Lady Jian's mouth was parched, and she never suspected there would be a problem with the water her daughter poured, so she drank it all in one gulp.
