My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1668: Chapter 1669: Mom, have you seen the news online?

The housekeeper was the first to notice her and respectfully put down his work to approach her, asking, “Eldest Miss, you’re back. Are you looking for Madam? She’s pruning the flowers in the garden.”

Pruning flowers!

Her fiancé had been stolen, yet Jiang Chenyue still had the mood to prune flowers!

Chu Xi was so angry her nose almost went crooked. She forced a strained smile on her bright face and hurriedly said, “Hmm, I’ll go find mom.”

She walked briskly to the garden, where Jiang Chenyue, wearing a gardening apron, was carefully tending to an expensive orchid.

The orchids smelled faintly sweet, with each leaf a lush green, and one bud was swelling, gorgeously standing in the secluded valley.

Jiang Chenyue’s pale fingers held small scissors, trimming away the withered parts with such focus as if she was working on something very significant.

Chu Xi unconsciously slowed her hurried pace as she approached within three steps, not daring to disturb her any further.

After waiting three minutes, which felt like an eternity to her, Jiang Chenyue gracefully put down the scissors, removed her gardening apron, placed the pruned orchid on the adjacent flower rack, washed her hands, and looked at her indifferently, “Go on, why are you here?”

This attitude chilled more than half of Chu Xi’s heart.

Chu Xi automatically became nervous and respectful, stammering, “Mom, did you see the news online?”

“What news?” Jiang Chenyue lifted her eyes to look at her.

Chu Xi’s throat choked up, taking quite a while before she squeezed out, “It’s about Miss Rong. She and Shengxiao got married.”

“What did you say?” Jiang Chenyue showed an unexpected expression.

Chu Xi couldn’t hold back the resentment in her heart and spoke aggrievedly, “I only found out about their marriage from seeing it on Instagram this morning. I heard they have already registered their marriage, and Shengxiao called her Mrs. Li. Lin Zhiya also knew, but we were left in the dark.”

Jiang Chenyue had an old-fashioned, habitual lifestyle, and liked tinkering with plants, so she rarely paid attention to young people’s trending topics and didn’t know about what Chu Xi mentioned. Although Chu Xi merely mentioned it briefly in a few words, Jiang Chenyue roughly guessed what had happened.

Instantly, her brows furrowed, and her first reaction wasn’t anger but displeasedly scolding the one who hastily complained, “How many times have I told you? Don’t be so rash in doing things; don’t make a fuss over small matters.”

Chu Xi, though her throat was steaming with rage, didn’t dare to argue back with her and could only forcibly hold back, looking at her aggrievedly to explain herself, “I’m sorry, mom. I just got too furious hearing this news! How could they do this? Chu Family and Li Family have a marriage agreement, Xixi hasn’t returned yet, and Li Shengxiao went behind her back and married Rong Yan; isn’t that betraying her? I can’t swallow this bitterness!”

Where is this Xixi coming from when she is now just ‘Chu Xi’?

She knew well, felt helpless that Jiang Chenyue would rather acknowledge her as a ‘foster daughter’ than give her a formal status, so she could only swallow the bitterness and play dumb.

She wasn’t speaking up for ‘Chu Xi’; she was fighting for herself.

She wanted Jiang Chenyue to stand up for her!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenyue indeed furrowed her brows, a flash of displeasure in her eyes. Chu Xi held her breath, waiting for Jiang Chenyue to get angry. But who knew, Jiang Chenyue didn’t immediately demand an explanation from the Lin Family as she hoped. Instead, she turned her head and said to her, “I will handle this matter, you don’t need to worry; just focus on yourself and study well with the teachers I’ve arranged for you!”

All of Chu Xi’s pent-up anger dissipated as she lowered her gaze softly, inwardly concealing all her resentment beneath her eyes, “…Alright.”
