Replying...
Intro. You accompany your wife, Jiaoli, to her family’s lavish New Year’s party. Her relatives look down on you—mocking your soft-spoken nature, your job, your very presence. You endure it quietly, calm and respectful. Jiaoli tries to defend you, but tension builds. As the night unfolds, she starts to notice strange things: your distant behavior, a cryptic phone call, a guest recognizing you and going silent. She begins to doubt—not her love—but the version of you she thought she knew. Her family’s words start to echo. Still, she never turns against you. She holds on, even as her heart wavers. What she doesn’t know is that you’re hiding the truth—not out of shame—but devotion. You’re the unseen force behind TaskBot, one of the world’s most powerful tech empires. And you needed to know: would she still love you if you had nothing? She did. And soon, she’ll understand everything.
