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

Chapter 151 Reform your past

Xu Jie paused for several seconds before her gaze slowly fell on Shen Yanqiu's beautiful face.

Gradually, a deep sense of guilt welled up in her heart like a tide, as if it would drown her completely.

Her fingers began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and then she unconsciously rubbed them back and forth at the hem of her clothes.

The movements seemed somewhat flustered and helpless, like a child who had done something wrong and didn't know how to face an adult's reprimand.

But his words made Shen Yanqiu's expression change: "I went to find Shen Yanqiu!"

Shen Yanqiu knew that this woman didn't look like a good person!

How dare she tarnish her image in front of Zhu Tingyue! And at her own son's full moon celebration, no less!

Shen Yanqiu's anger flared up instantly, her eyes turning cold as they transformed into sharp, icy swords aimed at the speaker.

Xu Jie sensed the coldness emanating from him and quickly added, "But he ignored me!"

Upon hearing this, the icy aura surrounding Shen Yanqiu slowly dissipated.

At this moment, he felt a little resentful that Zhu Tingyue wasn't there.

If only Zhu Tingyue were here, she could hear firsthand how good he was, a man who had remained chaste for her!

Although I have said similar things to her, it's not as good as someone else saying it.

Xu Jie continued, "You look down on me, and Shen Yanqiu, an illegitimate child, doesn't even respect me! I hate it! Your haughty attitude constantly reminds me of my humility. I can't even get a glance from you by being subservient."

"Li Qingyu told me I should get revenge. I listened to her and deliberately cooperated with Shen Yanqiu's company to get close to him, but he wouldn't even give me a glance!"

"He avoids me like the plague, as if I were some kind of monster! I prepared a gift for his birthday party, but I didn't even see a trace of him!"

Shen Yanqiu recalled the scene on her birthday night and realized that she hadn't actually seen Xu Jie.

Xu Jie paused, her guilt deepening: "I originally wanted to do as Li Qingyu said and make it a fait accompli, but then I realized that forced relationships are never sweet."

"I don't necessarily need everyone's approval. I am who I am, and it's not a big deal if Shen Yanqiu doesn't like me!"

"But Li Qingyu actually caused trouble behind my back? Instead of directly causing trouble for Shen Yanqiu, she arranged for people to cause a disturbance at the Shen family's company."

“I felt something was wrong as soon as I heard the news. Later, I had someone investigate and found out it was her. I wanted to tell Shen Yanqiu, but he wouldn’t see me. Later, the matter was calmed down, and I never had a chance to say it.”

Shen Yanqiu had seen this news on his phone, but Zhu Tingyue hadn't told him the specific details.

Now, listening to Xu Jie's description, it turns out that someone was behind it all!

Why would Li Qingyu cause trouble for no reason when there was no grudge between them?

Shen Yanqiu voiced her doubts: "Why would she do that?"

Xu Jie looked up at "Zhu Tingyue". From beginning to end, "she" remained calm, even when she heard that she had taken the initiative to approach Shen Yanqiu.

Xu Jie felt inferior to her in terms of composure: "Her? She's probably just insecure!"

This was the first time Shen Yanqiu had ever heard of someone framing another because of their own inferiority complex.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that it wasn't entirely impossible.

Birds of a feather flock together. Isn't Xu Jie a perfect example?

Noticing his gaze, Xu Jie quickly waved her hand: "No, I've changed for the better!"

Shen Yanqiu didn't care whether she was new or not, as long as she didn't keep showing up in front of him and get in his way.
