Chapter 815: Chapter 809: Jing Yuan’s thoughts were discovered by Fang Xiu_1
Fang Xiu told this to Jing Yuan, but only Fang Xiu knew whether this was her heartfelt sentiment.
“You’re right, sister-in-law, people should be kind, just like you. You’re really great.” Jing Yuan praised Fang Xiu as always, but this time Fang Xiu felt her words were disingenuous. She knew they weren’t sincere, but she continued to listen for the next few months.
“Well, younger sister, you’ve always known whether I’m good or not. Don’t exaggerate,” Fang Xiu laughed.
“Er, right, sister-in-law, I heard that you gave birth to my older brother’s son, is that him?” Jing Yuan was choked up. Of course, she knew that Fang Xiu was good, but they both loved the same man. That meant, their relationship could never be as close as ordinary sisters-in-law.
“Yes, the boy is fortunate. When I was ready to give up my own life and jump into the river, I fainted, and only after being saved did I find out I was pregnant.
I thought your older brother had passed away and wanted to leave him a descendant. Regardless of boy or girl, it would be his child, a continuation of our ill-fated marriage.
Little did I expect that your brother would still be alive. I am also very grateful that I made this decision; otherwise, when your older brother came back, he would have killed me.” Fang Xiu stared at her son’s face, which resembled her husband’s. Everyone can see this instantly, but if Jing Yuan was going to ask anyway, she might as well add some fuel to the fire. Everything Fang Xiu said was true, though.
What Fang Xiu didn’t expect was that her words would all go into the ears of Jing Xin who had just returned. He only knew that his wife had been driven out and was unaware that she had wanted to jump into the river. This caused his heart to race in fear. Fortunately, his wife and son were alright. Otherwise, he dared not imagine the consequences.
“Xiuxiu, I’m back.” Jing Xin pretended as if he had only just returned and loudly called out to his wife.
Fang Xiu heard Jing Xin’s words and responded with a gentle laugh. He had been like this recently, always coming to her as soon as there was no work or training at the team. She had gotten accustomed to it, but Jing Yuan hadn’t. Jing Yuan had not expected to be able to see her elder brother today, so her joy was obviously uncontainable when she heard Jing Xin’s voice.
From the corner of her eye, Fang Xiu caught a glimpse of the joyful expression on Jing Yuan’s face. Her heart skipped a beat. She discreetly observed Jing Yuan, whose joy had gone overboard, especially that trace of timidity that was hidden in her eyes. Fang Xiu was struck by a daring thought. This thought terrified her. Wasn’t it too shocking?
“You’re back. Are you tired?” Fang Xiu didn’t move and just asked her husband as he entered.
“I’m fine. Little sister is here? When did you arrive?” Jing Xin responded to Fang Xiu’s words before seeming to notice Jing Yuan for the first time.
“Big brother, I’ve been here a while. I came to see sister-in-law and my nephew, I haven’t met them yet.” Jing Yuan glanced covertly at Jing Xin, and seeing that he was not looking at her, she quietly sighed in relief.
She was glad that Jing Xin didn’t see her current state. Unprepared to meet her elder brother, her heart was racing, and she felt her face burning, definitely blushing. So, the fact that her older brother did not see her was actually what Jing Yuan wanted.
After observing the interaction and facial expressions between Jing Yuan and her husband, Fang Xiu’s heart sank. Was it as she imagined? This woman really dared to dream.
