My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1695: Chapter 1696: Jiang Chenyue Knows Who Her Daughter Is

“I’ve told you before, when you wear a mask for too long, it becomes hard to take off. When you lie too often, even you start believing it yourself.”

Chu Xi seemed like her throat was being squeezed, she didn’t dare say a word.

On the contrary, Jiang Chenyue didn’t understand, her face full of confusion as she asked, “What are you guys talking about? I didn’t understand a single word—what mask, what lies? Qin Jun, are you and Xi hiding something from me?”

Chu Xi hurriedly answered, clutching her hand, “We’re not hiding anything from you. Mr. Qin and I were just joking.”

“…That’s not right, you are hiding something from me.”

Jiang Chenyue is not a woman who can be easily fooled.

She lowered her face and, instead of asking Chu Xi, she looked sternly at Qin Jun and asked him, “What’s going on? What are you hiding from me?”

Chu Xi’s heart raced wildly, afraid of what Qin Jun might reveal, she pulled at her, fumbling around clumsily, “We really have nothing to hide from you. It’s just me and my brother bickering like usual, he is still mad at me, thinking I shouldn’t have stubbornly stayed overnight to upset Miss Rong…”

Even in this situation, she didn’t forget to dig a hole with her words.

Listening to her, Qin Jun sarcastically curled his lips, decisively saying to Jiang Chenyue, “I do have something I’m hiding from you, Aunt.”

Jiang Chenyue completely ignored Chu Xi who was blocking in front of her, her eyebrows slightly sinking, “What is it?”

Qin Jun glanced at the agitated woman, saying to her, “Why don’t we clear out the irrelevant people first? So that we don’t get interrupted halfway through.”

Jiang Chenyue knew well who he meant by irrelevant people, she decisively turned her face, and calmly said to Chu Xi, “Xi, you should head back home today.”

Chu Xi looked disappointed, her eyes widened in disbelief, showing a heartbroken expression, she looked at her woefully, “Mom, am I an irrelevant person in your eyes?”

If it were the past, Jiang Chenyue would have coaxed her a bit, but this time she didn’t even hesitate, her voice low and undeniable, “Go home first!”

“…”

Chu Xi, though she wished to be unreasonable and stay, didn’t dare to be too obvious in front of her. She hesitated, biting her lip, occasionally glancing in Qin Jun’s direction, and when she finally realized there was no way she could linger, she cryptically said to Jiang Chenyue, “Mom, you haven’t been feeling well, you should rest early tonight.”

She emphasized the words ‘not feeling well’, afraid Qin Jun might not hear it clearly.

Qin Jun sneered and curled his lips, indifferent to her words.

She spoke a lot to Jiang Chenyue afterwards, the summary of which was merely emphasizing that Jiang Chenyue’s health had not been great, with lingering stress from before, and she should not get upset. Finally, when she couldn’t find anything else to say, and Jiang Chenyue clearly showed signs of impatience, she reluctantly shut her mouth. Accompanied by the maids, she left Chu Garden reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

Only after Chu Xi went far away did Jiang Chenyue say to the upright and handsome man, “Let’s go, we’ll talk upstairs.”

“Okay.” Qin Jun withdrew his gaze watching someone leave, letting Jiang Chenyue walk in front as he followed politely behind, the two of them went upstairs.

No one at Chu Garden knew what Qin Jun and Jiang Chenyue talked about that night, only that in the latter half of the night, the graceful and elegant lady, who never lost her composure, sat in the living room all night, alternatively watching various interview videos of Miss Rong, crying, and laughing; she didn’t sleep at all.
