C179 (1/2)

”What is it? I'm in a meeting!” The middle-aged man's voice was not as thick and magnetic as his age. On the contrary, it sounded just like his beer belly, extremely ordinary. It was probably because he was in a high position and frequently gave orders, giving off a sense of majesty and a bit of impatience.

The woman's excited mood instantly cooled down from the other party's tone. The pair of eyes behind her sunglasses twinkled. Very soon, she kept her unhappiness away and said tenderly, ”Dearest, I'm pregnant.”

The person on the other end of the line was shocked and accidentally knocked over the cup. The secretary quickly wiped it for him with a tissue. He impatiently waved away the secretary's hand, stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

With a suppressed voice, he asked, ”Jiang Ying, what did you say?”

”I'm pregnant.”

He hurriedly ended the meeting and rushed home in a flurry. Although it was his home, it was still the place where he kept canaries. Ever since Jiang Ying followed him, she had been staying here. He then carefully took care of the card he got from Jiang Fangyi. Then, he turned on the TV on the sofa, pretending that he had never left before. When he saw the fat guy walk in, he quickly stood up and smiled sweetly.

”Darling!”

”Baby, are you really pregnant?” Old Qian still felt that it wasn't real. He was over a hundred years old, but he was childless and had only one daughter with his wife. He had always been brooding over it, but now, his little lover was pregnant and gave him new hope.

She nodded and passed a test form to Fatty Qian. The date on the test form was one month ago, and at that time, she hadn't gone to the Rong family to testify, so she had been hesitating about whether to give this child to Old Qian. Jiang Fangyi's promise had a lot of benefits, so she decided to not hang herself on this old tree.

Jiang Fangyi was going to send her away, so she became more hesitant. She was very unsatisfied with the man, but if he could really make it to the capital on his own, then it would be a good thing for her.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, she avoided Jiang Fangyi's sight and came back.

The Rong family was at the peak of their power struggle. Jiang Fangyi wanted to send her away because he did not want to create unnecessary trouble. She understood this logic, and that was why she wanted to sneak back.

It wasn't a secret that Old Qian wanted a son. Wasn't it precisely because his wife gave birth to a daughter that she wasn't confident enough to ignore his extravagant life outside?

If the child in her womb proved to be a boy, she could use this as a bargaining chip to reach the top.

Jiang Ying's smile was soft and sweet with a hint of grievance. ”I don't know what to do. I was worried that you didn't want this child, so I didn't dare to tell you that I even wanted to leave.”

Her luggage had not yet been unpacked, and there was already evidence in front of Qian, so he had to believe it.

”Precious …”

I don't want to leave you like this, and I can't leave you. I still want you to know that after knowing this, no matter what decision you make, I will listen to you. If you don't want this child, I will leave this city right now and will never appear in front of you again.

She lowered her head and bit her lip, bearing her grievances.

When that time came, whether or not she was there would have no effect on the situation. Moreover, even if she failed to help him, it would have nothing to do with her even if he took control of the family's power. She did not lie, she only spoke the truth.

A young girl in her twenties, who looked like a flower. Such a small expression made Lao Qian's heart turn into a puddle of water. He held her in his arms and coaxed her.

”What did Baby say? How could I not have you and the baby? ”Don't think too much into it, just settle down and give birth to the child safely.”

”Born, but what if I don't want my child to be an illegitimate child? That way, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up as a human being.”

”Nonsense, my son, how could he be an illegitimate child? Darling, you be good. I definitely won't let you and my son suffer a loss.”

Shang Hai had drifted for so many years, of course he knew what kind of promise could be made and what kind of promise couldn't be made. He couldn't easily promise to divorce her, what if the one in Jiang Ying's womb was a girl?

Jiang Ying had been following Qian Jin for some time now, so how could she not understand what he was thinking? However, the heartless Jiang Ying who hated Qian Jin in her heart had a happy look on her face as she cuddled in the old man's arms, murmuring coquettishly, ”I'll listen to you, darling. You're the best.”

Old Qian nodded in satisfaction. As a female, the one he was the most satisfied with was Jiang Ying. She was pretty enough, but she also knew what to say and what not to say.

City S.

When the break was over, Gu Tidal was ready to leave. Before he left, he made an appointment with Shen Liangxia.

The address was at a cold drinks store near the school. The two used to come here frequently, but rarely after that. After that, there were always accidents in Shen Liangxia.
