Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Serious Reality_1

After understanding the ins and outs, Xia Qingtian felt all of this incredibly absurd.

These rumors, all stemmed from a reality TV show.

The palace drama that Cheng Bingbing and Shi Qian starred in together is a current hit, a series that has exploded onto the scene.

Shi Qian’s scenes were growing in quantity and quality, which led to her popularity skyrocketing.

A highly popular reality show from last season invited Shi Qian as a guest for the second season. The shooting started with Shi Qian waking up in her old house where she was staying.

Bo Jingyan’s mother, of course, also appeared on the show.

On camera, Shi Qian and Bo Jingyan’s mother appeared extremely close. When the production crew learned that Bo Jingyan’s mother was Shi Qian’s agent, they decided to interview them.

In the interview, Bo Jingyan’s mother openly and unambiguously expressed her intention to have Shi Qian as a daughter-in-law.

And also, she was planning to arrange an engagement for Shi Qian and her son soon.

Given Shi Qian’s current popularity, in order to increase viewership, the show’s director included this segment in the promo.

The director’s goal was achieved. As soon as the promotional video was released, it immediately made it onto the trending list, even becoming the top trend, bringing the show to many more people’s attention.

The buzz was so high that many advertisers lined up to sponsor the show.

The director was overjoyed.

At the same time, almost everyone now knew that Shi Qian, the in-demand actress, surprisingly had a boyfriend and that the wedding was around the corner, with her future mother-in-law being her own agent.

Shi Qian’s fans were upset with her, asking her not to make such a foolish decision of getting married while being at the peak of her career. They claimed she was thinking too much about love.

She still had so much more to strive for in her career.

The curiosity shifted when netizens started researching more about the old house as well as its current worth. Everyone was amazed at what they found.

People began to speculate about Bo Jingyan’s mother’s identity by looking up information about the old house.

The internet users did some impressive detective work, and before long, they exposed Bo Jingyan’s mother’s identity and Bo Jingyang also gained popularity.

Immediately, the public sentiment on the internet took a turn.

Both passerby and Shi Qian’s fans became envious of her.

Her boyfriend and fiance turned out to be Bo Jingyan.

If one could truly have Bo Jingyan, nothing else mattered. After all, he was rich and influential but also incredibly handsome. If he was to enter showbiz, his looks alone would make him a superstar.

Many people online started shipping their on-screen love.

After reading all of this, Xia Qingtian finally grasped the situation.

If this had happened in the past, she would have known about Bo Jingyan’s mother’s displeasure with her. She trusted Bo Jingyan, which meant she wouldn’t dwell on such things. She might even have brushed this off as a joke.

But things were different now. Bo Jingyan had lost his memory.

Then she remembered how Bo Jingyan had saved Shi Qian from the falling camera.

Also, when Shi Qian made ambiguous statements in front of the camera, Bo Jingyan didn’t utter a word to contradict her.

So, what was Bo Jingyan’s intention?

Did he silently agree with what Shi Qian and his mother had done?

Was he intending to divorce her and follow his mother’s advice to get engaged to Shi Qian?

Realizing this, Xia Qingtian felt as if her heart was pierced by a thousand arrows, leaving gaping, blood-soaked wounds that hurt deeply.

Her heart, which had been elated upon finding out from Huo Qilin that Bo Jingyan had resolved the issue of her being slandered and had sued all those who had insulted her, suddenly felt as if it had been plunged into an eternal ice age. It was completely frozen.

She had initially thought that what Bo Jingyan had done for her secretly was because he had her in his heart, because he had loved her. But looking at it now...

Xia Qingtian gave out a self-deprecating laugh.

It seemed that everything was just her wishful thinking.

She lifted the cup of black coffee she had ordered and drained it in one go. Her eyebrows knitted instantly.

Black coffee is indeed bitter, so bitter that she was almost in tears.

The black coffee is already so bitter, then why is her heart even more bitter?

Xia Qingtian blinked hard, suppressing the tears that were threatening to spill over.

After composing herself, she settled the bill and left the coffee shop.

However, she had barely stepped out when the shop employee came running after her, saying, "Miss, you left something in our shop."

As he said this, he handed Xia Qingtian a thermal meal box.

Upon seeing the thermal box, Xia Qingtian had a complex look in her eyes. It originally held a lunch meant to reconcile with Bo Jingyan, but unfortunately...

Bo Jingyan had already left with Shi Qian.

So, the lunch she had lovingly prepared no longer held meaning.

Thinking this, the corner of Xia Qingtian’s lips curved into a cynical smile. She turned to the coffee shop employee and said, "This is useless rubbish. Please throw it away for me."

Without waiting for the employee’s response, she hailed a cab and left.

After Xia Qingtian returned home, she shut herself in her room, running the tabloid rumors and Bo Jingyan’s indifferent response over and over in her head.

She felt as though there was a gaping hole in her heart that could not be filled.

Huddled on the sofa in her room, she held herself tightly, re-running every moment she had spent with Bo Jingyan from their acquaintance, friendship to love.

Until he lost three years of memories and forgot about her.

And then, Shi Qian with a sweet smile suggested to the reporter that she and Bo Jingyan had agreed to marry soon, and Bo Jingyan didn’t deny it at all.

She was like a wicked wife trying to separate the protagonist couple in a soap opera.

Now, to Bo Jingyan, she was only a stranger. He no longer loved her. So, what was the point of clinging to this marriage, which existed only in name?

Xia Qingtian pondered, thinking so much that she finally understood.

The moment she began to doubt the worth of their marriage, she already had her answer.

She was simply unwilling to accept the reality.

If she hadn’t visited Bo Jingyan’s company today and learned about his passive acceptance of his mother’s intentions, she could still keep her hope alive. But now, she couldn’t hold on any longer.

All of a sudden, Xia Qingtian had a moment of clarity.

Before Bo Jingyan recovers his memory, there is no chance of returning to their past relationship.

Instead of clinging onto Bo Jingyan and wearing out all the beautiful memories, she’d rather let go swiftly. At least after losing Bo Jingyan, she would still have beautiful memories.

With these thoughts in her mind, Xia Qingtian made up her mind.

Since Bo Jingyan wanted a divorce and wanted to get engaged with Shi Qian, she would grant him his wish.
