My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1641: Chapter 1642: Not a Single Chu Family Member Attended Her Birthday Party

She didn’t know what kind of decision she would make when the time came. Wasn’t her disappointment in Chu Xi also a disappointment in herself?

Jiang Chenyue said, “I tell you the great truths, yet you won’t listen. I don’t want to repeat it over and over. Today is your birthday, and I hope you can pass it happily.”

Chu Xi’s strained heartstrings relaxed slightly. Just as she forced a smile, it froze on her face.

“…I won’t stay with you.”

“Mom?” She was truly panicked now, grabbing Jiang Chenyue’s arm, “You’re leaving too?”

If everyone left, what was the point of having a birthday party?

Which of these socialites came for her birthday party for her? Wasn’t it for the Chu Family behind her?

If today’s birthday party went smoothly, her status as Miss Chu would be firmly established. But with neither Qin Jun nor Jiang Chenyue attending, and without a single member of the Chu Family present, even if she held the birthday party, it would still lack legitimacy.

Her heart was in turmoil. Jiang Chenyue slowly removed her hand from her grasp, very calm and distant, “I believe you can handle it yourself. You don’t need anyone to accompany you on your birthday. I’ll have Uncle Shan give you your gift later. Happy Birthday.”

The more Jiang Chenyue acted this way, the more panicked Chu Xi felt. She held on and refused to let go, “Mom, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please don’t leave.”

Jiang Chenyue’s eyes held a coldness, and just one look made her involuntarily release her hand.

Jiang Chenyue turned away, too stingy to give her another glance, and left the venue without looking back.

As she left, Chu Xi felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, her entire body chilled. She dug her nails into her palms, nearly screaming.

Many people were looking her way. She took a deep breath, forcing herself not to show a timid expression, and hurriedly walked towards the garden.

She had to find a place to calm down, or she would go crazy!

What kind of situation was this?

Rong Yan, it was Rong Yan again. They were all opposing her because of Rong Yan!

Did they not get it? She was the main character!

“Xi.”

Just then, a voice full of surprise yet tinged with nervousness happily called her name.

Chu Xi stopped slightly when she heard the unfamiliar yet familiar voice. When she saw who it was, her pupils shrank into needle-like points.

“Why are you here!”

The middle-aged woman looked haggard, but the light in her eyes when she saw her couldn’t be disguised—so bright, so happy, not irritated even by her rude questioning. She gently explained, “Today is your birthday, and I wanted to celebrate it with you. Don’t worry, I’ve taken a job as a cleaner at this hotel. No one knows I’m your mom. I promised you, and I won’t forget.”

She treasured a small box she took out from her clothes, handing it over, “Mom is sorry to you. I have never celebrated your birthday over the years. When you were abroad, busy with work, and your birthday came around, I wanted to fly over to get you a cake and celebrate with you. But every time I called your assistant, you had arranged work. This year, finally, you have your birthday back home, so I bought you a gift.”

Chu Xi looked at the bag she handed over. It was embossed with a golden logo from an expensive jewelry brand, at least considered a luxury hard to afford by ordinary people.

“Where did you get the money?” She reluctantly accepted the gift, but her expression was still not pleasant.

The middle-aged woman was happier than anything to see her accept it, gently saying, “I saved it myself, for many years. I’ve always wanted to buy you a gift you’d like.”
