Chapter Eighty-One

Chapter Eighty-One

Jiang Yiyan lay on the bed, with nothing to do, and once again took out the photo Zhou Sijia had sent her to look at.

It had to be said that Zhou Sijia was really good at taking photos. At least in this photo, she had captured all the essential elements.

In fact, Jiang Yiyan also had a mischievous nature, enjoying gossip and drama. She was very curious about how people around her would react if they knew about the ambiguous relationship between Jiang Xu and Shu Yao—what would they think and what would they do?

With a sudden impulse, Jiang Yiyan wanted to save the photo and send it to Wen Mochuan. However, ultimately, reason overcame impulse, and she only saved the photo in her album without sending it to Wen Mochuan.

Glancing at the time, seeing it was late, Jiang Yiyan switched her phone to flight mode and went to sleep.

But she never expected how crazy Zhou Sijia could be. While Jiang Yiyan didn't follow up on the matter, Zhou Sijia sent the photo to Wen Mochuan for her.

How did Jiang Yiyan find out? Because when she woke up the next morning, she saw a message from Zhou Sijia on WeChat.

Zhou Sijia: "As a sister, helping you out. Hehe, I sent yesterday's photo to your husband. No need to thank me."

The message was sent at four in the morning.

Does Zhou Sijia not sleep?

However, Jiang Yiyan couldn't help but feel an overwhelming joy inside.

She really wanted to know what expression Wen Mochuan would have when he saw this photo.

Jiang Yiyan was so excited that her fingers were trembling. She decided to properly thank Zhou Sijia.

After some deliberation, she finally typed: "Thank you oh~" followed by a smiling face emoji. It seemed like she was being sarcastic, but in fact, Jiang Yiyan meant it sincerely.

After sending the message, there was no response. Jiang Yiyan guessed that Zhou Sijia, who often had her days and nights mixed up, must be sleeping now.

Not worrying about Zhou Sijia anymore, Jiang Yiyan saw that it was still early, just before nine o'clock, so she immediately got up and rushed to the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, she hadn't even changed out of her pajamas when she quickly ran downstairs and sat down at the dining table.

Perfect! Wen Mochuan was still sitting at the dining table, not yet leaving.

Adjusting her pace, Jiang Yiyan pretended to be relaxed as she walked to the dining table and sat down.

Feng Ma came over and asked, "Madam, what would you like to eat today?"

"Anything, whatever you think is fine." Today, she was in a good mood, and everything tasted delicious.

Feng Ma thought for a moment, "How about I make you a small bowl of wontons? With an egg and some coriander."

"Sure, sure, I really feel like having wontons today," Jiang Yiyan agreed cheerfully.

Wen Mochuan, sitting across from her, looked over upon hearing her voice. His wife seemed unusually happy today.

"Is there something that's making you happy?" Wen Mochuan asked after finishing his meal and wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Today, Wen Mochuan was dressed in formal attire, wearing a suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his deep and charming eyes as elegant as ever.

But Jiang Yiyan wasn't in the mood to admire his beauty; her thoughts were more focused on gossip.

"What's making me happy? Why do you ask?" Jiang Yiyan put on a puzzled face, wondering inwardly.

Was she really that obvious?

Wen Mochuan just smiled at her without saying anything else, then stood up.

Jiang Yiyan immediately asked, "Are you going to work?"

"Yes." Wen Mochuan stood leisurely beside the dining table, patiently explaining to Jiang Yiyan, "I have a meeting at ten, so I need to leave early."

"But... it's not even nine yet, it's still early." Want to chat a bit?

Wen Mochuan: "What is it you want to say? If there's something, just go ahead and tell me."

If she were to say it herself, it wouldn't be interesting. Well, since he couldn't tell anything, she might as well let it go.

With this time, she might as well focus on her work and earn more money.

So, Jiang Yiyan lost interest instantly and simply said, "There's really nothing. Since you have a meeting in the morning, you should go early."

Wen Mochuan stared at her for a few more moments before leaving.

Driver Little Chen had been waiting outside for a while. After getting into the car, Wen Mochuan took out his phone and looked at the photo Zhou Sijia had sent him.

Zhou Sijia might have thought it would upset him, but when he saw the photo, he felt nothing. He was completely unmoved.

He knew about Jiang Xu's feelings for Shu Yao, so seeing them together didn't surprise him.

Whether they were siblings or whether their relationship would become public... none of that mattered to him.

Only then did Wen Mochuan realize that he had truly and completely let go of Shu Yao.

If there were any lingering feelings or reluctance, he wouldn't have reacted this way upon seeing the photo this morning.

Leaning back in the car seat, Wen Mochuan looked out the window calmly, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease.

But his complexion wasn't good.

However, his poor complexion wasn't due to Shu Yao; it was because of his wife's reaction today.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Sijia, she must have shown the photo to his wife too. But his wife, after seeing it, not only showed no reaction but even seemed somewhat gleeful.

She didn't get jealous, didn't get angry, and didn't even say a single sarcastic word... This made Wen Mochuan quite uneasy.

Because she didn't care, she acted as if nothing happened.

Wen Mochuan was in a troubled mood. He leaned back in his chair and gently closed his eyes, taking a moment to rest.

Over there, Jiang Yiyan, as a bystander, found herself unable to get involved in the gossip. So she simply put her thoughts aside and threw herself into her work once again.

Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yiyan finally finished her work. Just as she was about to take a break and go downstairs for lunch, she suddenly received a WeChat voice call from Zhou Sijia.

Jiang Yiyan was stunned for several seconds before hesitating for a few more. Then she decided to answer it.

Pressing the answer button, Jiang Yiyan hadn't even had time to greet the caller when she heard a lazy voice on the other end: "How's it going, Miss Jiang? Is your Mr. Wen exploding with anger today?"

Jiang Yiyan didn't have much interaction with the second-generation heiress Zhou Sijia; the person who did was her original self. Therefore, she was indifferent to Zhou Sijia's provocation.

"It's okay, what does he have to be angry about?" Jiang Yiyan knew what she wanted to hear, but she deliberately didn't give her the satisfaction.

Besides, she wasn't busy at the moment, so it didn't matter if she played along for a bit of amusement.

Zhou Sijia had only slept until around four or five in the morning and woke up just now. The first thing she did after waking up was to grab her phone and check it.

After seeing Jiang Yiyan's reply, Zhou Sijia couldn't wait to chat leisurely on WeChat and directly called her.

Clearly, she was unsatisfied with Jiang Yiyan's attitude and response. In her imagination, based on her understanding of Jiang Yiyan, she shouldn't be reacting this way.

So, Zhou Sijia persisted, "Really, Yiyan? Your old Wen couldn't possibly not care about that photo, right? Could it be that the rumors are true, and you've really managed to win over Wen Mochuan?"

Jiang Yiyan placed her phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone while she trimmed her nails. As she trimmed her nails, she slowly engaged with Zhou Sijia on the other end.

"I'm not sure what the rumors are, but I no longer care about what Wen Mochuan thinks. Whether he loves Shu Yao or still has feelings for her doesn't matter to me. Even if he were to propose divorce now, I would gladly accept." More than gladly accept, she would be thrilled.

Zhou Sijia reacted quickly and acted swiftly. As soon as Jiang Yiyan started speaking, she activated the recording function. Thus, Jiang Yiyan's subsequent words were naturally recorded by Zhou Sijia.

After recording, Zhou Sijia exclaimed, "Ah-ha!" and then proudly told Jiang Yiyan, "Sorry, Yiyan, I recorded what you said. You won't blame me, right? You said it yourself; I didn't force you."

Jiang Yiyan was indifferent: "Oh, record away. Even if you forward it to Wen Mochuan right now, I wouldn't care. Honestly, I really want a divorce lately, but Wen Mochuan disagrees, which is frustrating. Sijia, if you can help me get this divorce, I'll treat you to dinner."

Jiang Yiyan knew what Zhou Sijia wanted to hear and what she desired, but she deliberately didn't give her the satisfaction. By using her tactics against her, she wondered what Zhou Sijia could do.

Zhou Sijia was genuinely furious because she didn't see what she wanted to see, which made her angry.

But unwilling to give up, she continued to engage with Jiang Yiyan: "Yiyan, you can't be serious, right? Do you think I won't send the recording to Wen Mochuan? I will send it!" She planned to send it not only to Wen Mochuan but also to Shu Yao and Jiang Xu.

The more complicated the situation among these people became, the better.

"Then send it," Jiang Yiyan preemptively said, and then hung up the call.

Feeling victorious over Zhou Sijia, Jiang Yiyan was in high spirits. After hanging up, she happily went downstairs to find something to eat.

On the other side, Zhou Sijia was jumping with anger in her room. After calming down, she seriously considered her options and ultimately sent the recorded audio to Wen Mochuan.

She first sent it to Wen Mochuan, then hesitated a bit before sending it to Shu Yao and Jiang Xu as well.

After this aggressive move, Zhou Sijia felt quite pleased. She tossed her phone on the bed and retreated into her closet.

When she came out, she was wearing a very fashionable outfit and had applied heavy makeup.

Excited, she eagerly checked her phone, but it remained quiet, making her throw her phone in frustration.
