Naturally, Han Ruchu would agree, but when she tapped on the recording pen, she didn't play the song, but the recording that she had tampered with.
Then she pretended to be flustered, and turned off the recording pen. However, Han Ruchu, who had already heard part of the conversation, asked her to finish playing it.
She sat next to Han Ruchu with a nervous expression on her face the entire time. When the recording pen finished playing, she carefully said to Han Ruchu, "Auntie Xu, you mustn't let Jiamu and Qiao Qiao know that you know about their love. They told me to keep it a secret."
...
With that thought, Qiao Anxia abruptly raised her hand and downed the RIO in one gulp.
No one could change the current situation of the marriage alliance. Marriage was the best form of cooperation, and for her own selfishness, she had no choice but to betray Qiao Anhao's lifelong happiness.
She knew that Han Ruchu loved her son as much as her life, so she purposely put on a show for her, to make her think that her son and Qiao Anhao were truly in love.
About two weeks later, she unintentionally eavesdropped on her parents' conversation, and found out that Han Ruchu's favorite daughter-in-law was Qiao Anhao, not Qiao Anxia.
In that instant, she knew that she had gotten what she wanted.
But after she got what she wanted, from that moment on, she started to feel guilty and uneasy. She would often dream of Qiao Anhao's resentful gaze at night. Perhaps it was to make up for her mistakes, or perhaps it was to make herself feel better, so from then on, she tried her best to treat Qiao Anhao well.
Until the afternoon of the day before yesterday, she found out that Qiao Anhao, who was married to Xu Jiamu, was actually entangled with Lu Jinnian.
Then, she silently placed the recording pen she always carried on her in Lu Jinnian's car.
The reason she did this was simple, she wanted Lu Jinnian to know that Qiao Anhao and Xu Jiamu were truly in love. No matter how much he loved Qiao Anhao, no matter how much he cared for her, he had to give up!
Because she couldn't just watch Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian continue making mistakes behind Xu Jiamu's back. One day, when the truth was exposed, Qiao Anhao would be the one to be scolded and blamed!
Five years ago, she did something wrong, and she had already let Qiao Anhao down once.
Now, she had to do her best to protect Qiao Anhao, and not let her suffer.
Qiao Anhao held the keys in one hand and the blue gift box in the other. She stood at the door of the study room and took a deep breath.
She had given out many birthday gifts, but this was the most nervous she had ever been!
Qiao Anhao raised her hand and gently knocked on the door. After waiting for a long while, when there was no movement from the study room, she took the key and unlocked the lock. Then, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open slightly.
The pungent smell of smoke assaulted her nose, causing her to choke and cough. Thankfully, she reacted in time to cover her mouth and stick her head in first. Her dark eyes darted around before she stared at Lu Jinnian, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing the door.
His posture was ramrod straight, and the ground around him was littered with cigarette butts of different lengths.
How long has it been? How could he have smoked so much?
Qiao Anhao furrowed her brows, mustering her courage to enter the room. She gently closed the door and took small steps towards Lu Jinnian.
