When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 617: Making It Up to You for a Lifetime (7)

Tang Yanqi didn’t disturb him, and went slowly downstairs.

"Yanqi, morning!"

Tang Yanqi had just come down the stairs when she heard a familiar female voice. She turned around and saw Sheng Jiayu sitting at the dining table with a sandwich and milk in front of her, wearing one of her nightgowns, having breakfast.

"Sister, morning."

Tang Yanqi sat down beside her, and Mrs. Zhang quickly brought over a bowl of porridge. Sheng Jiayu spoke up: "Zhou Chengze just came by to pick up Xiao Yi, said he’s taking her to painting class."

Tang Yanqi nodded, today was indeed the day Su Weiyi had painting class.

After taking a sip of porridge, Tang Yanqi glanced at Sheng Jiayu again. She wanted to ask about last night’s events, but when she was about to speak, she felt it was inappropriate.

Instead, Sheng Jiayu spoke first: "Xiao Yi, when will you change her name? Now that you’re back with Jianan, do you plan to change her surname to Sheng, or Tang?"

Tang Yanqi shook her head: "We just discussed it last night, no change. It’s fine like this, her mother’s surname is Su, let her keep her mother’s surname."

Sheng Jiayu choked a bit on her milk: "Her mother?"

"Yes, Xiao Yi is not my biological child."

Sheng Jiayu furrowed her brow and pointed upstairs: "Does Jianan know?"

"Yes."

Tang Yanqi said, suddenly thinking of something amusing: "I told him early on, but he never believed me. Somehow, later, he did."

Sheng Jiayu didn’t ask further, quietly continued to eat her meal.

Soon after, Sheng Jianan came downstairs, Shengshi had some business for him to handle. Before leaving, Sheng Jianan whispered something to Sheng Jiayu, and Tang Yanqi noticed Sheng Jiayu’s meaningful glance at her.

After Sheng Jianan left, Sheng Jiayu spoke up: "Sorry about last night."

Tang Yanqi was slightly stunned, not expecting Sheng Jiayu to mention it.

"Jianan said you’re curious about my story, and if I don’t tell you, you might keep it in mind. Plus, you’re bored at home, let me share it with you." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Tang Yanqi: "..."

Was he just talking to Sheng Jiayu about this?

Is it okay to openly reveal someone else’s scars like this?

Sheng Jianan doesn’t mind saying it, but it makes it awkward for her to listen, doesn’t it?

"Alright, just teasing you, Jianan didn’t phrase it that insensitively. After all, I am his sister. But he was right about one thing, I do need someone to talk to."

Through Sheng Jiayu’s words, Tang Yanqi heard the complete story. Although it was fundamentally a modern romance drama filled with dramatic twists and turns, hearing Sheng Jiayu talk and seeing her expression, Tang Yanqi felt her heart wrench.

Similar to what Sheng Jianan said, but Sheng Jiayu added some details, like how she confessed to the man after his split with his first love. His first love had gone abroad for study, so Sheng Jiayu confessed, although she was rejected.

Later, the man’s family had some trouble, and Sheng Jiayu used her connections to help him, and his family started pushing them together.

After that, Sheng Jiayu married him and helped him start his own company. The man was very capable; with Sheng Jiayu’s connections and status, his company gradually prospered, and that’s when his first love returned.

"He thought the woman left him because I sent someone to threaten her. He thought the trouble his family had was something I orchestrated behind the scenes. No matter how many times I explained, he never believed me."
