"I and she..." Qin Zong was about to tell the truth, but suddenly a sharp and cold gaze stared at his back, making him feel goosebumps all over.
Turning around, he saw that it was his uncle Qin Zhenyang staring at him with a stern face. The look in his eyes seemed to be warning him: if he said one wrong word, if he dared to mention Ji Xiaoli again, what awaited him would definitely not be as simple as the scattered fight last night.
Although he resented Qin Zhenyang, he was still afraid of him, especially his ruthless methods that didn't involve bloodshed.
"After some deliberation, he finally spoke up: 'I was drunk last night, so I wasn't quite myself... and then I saw Auntie, so I said a few more things than I should have, but nothing else happened. Then Uncle came over and punched me twice... who knew someone would take pictures of all this?'"
It sounds like nothing is wrong, after getting drunk anything can happen, especially with Qin Zong's excited expression in the newspaper, the old man silently looked at him, after all, ginger is still spicy when it's old, he didn't fully believe what his grandson said, especially after seeing the exchange of eyes between his grandson and son.
He thinks this matter is not so simple, and the problem must be with that woman!
Qin Weiliang didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and simply patted his son's head heavily, "You rascal, I've told you countless times, drinking is a mistake... Drinking is a mistake, even if there are no social engagements, it can't be like this. Fortunately, our family doesn't have anyone in politics, otherwise just this kind of thing would be enough to make people point fingers and criticize! I'm asking you, normally you don't drink, what happened yesterday? Did you get dumped?"
Qin Weiliang is a workaholic, spending more time in the company than at home. Rarely does he have such an opportunity to ask about his son's feelings, and now that his son is 26 years old, it's time for him to get married.
Qin Zong didn't say anything.
On the side, Zhang Xiuxiu was furious, the two men in her family were covering up for that woman, and that woman had a strong rural flavor at first glance, and wasn't particularly beautiful... Now even her son is telling lies for her!
Even if she wanted to speak ill of the woman in front of the old lady at this time, but if she said it now, her own son would definitely be implicated, so she still had to wait for an appropriate opportunity.
Qin Zong didn't know what his mother was thinking, but somehow he thought of Ji Xuewei's pregnancy and decided to mention it to his family. Although their emotional connection wasn't as strong as before, after all, this was going to be his first child, and in his heart, he hoped that Ji Xuewei could safely give birth to a healthy son.
"Dad and Mom, I'm afraid the engagement between me and Xuewei will have to be brought forward. She mentioned it to me two days ago, she's pregnant." Qin Zong could also be considered a cold person.
If it weren't for the child, he really didn't want to marry Ji Xuewei. After all, he couldn't tolerate a domineering and cunning woman by his side, and this time, he vaguely felt that she might be involved...
It's just an engagement and not a marriage, he himself is clearer than anyone else in his heart.
Zhang Xiujiao immediately stood up from her chair, beaming with joy: "Xuewei is pregnant? This is great news... The engagement should be brought forward, we can't have her walking down the aisle with a big belly." After finishing speaking, she turned to look at the elderly couple sitting in the superior position and coughed twice: "Dad, Mom, what do you think about this..."
"You arrange this matter, since it's Professor Ji's daughter, it should be alright." Old Master Qin had heard of Ji Chunlin's reputation, and the Ji family was a scholarly family with several generations of teachers, with a relatively good reputation.
Thinking of his grandson's upcoming wedding, Old Man Qin thought of his son's marriage again. He looked at his youngest son and asked, "Are you really planning to be with that woman?"
Qin Zhenyang didn't even raise an eyebrow, nor did he hesitate for a moment. "The certificates have already been issued," he said. "What do you think?"
"You've got your red certificate, now you can get a green one too! If you agree, there are plenty of good women waiting for you to choose!"
Qin Zhenyang raised an eyebrow, "Dad, are you instigating me to get a divorce?"
"What's wrong with you! That woman is not suitable for you at all, and she's an orphan, she can be matched with any ordinary man. You're different, in the capital city, those military door noblewomen and ladies are all eligible to match with you, you don't need to humiliate yourself!" Old Master Qin said one by one, this time calling people back for another purpose, naturally, it's to talk about divorce!
Qin Zhenyang sneered, "I don't think this is a grievance at all. Moreover, you're not unaware that I've never regretted anything I've done myself. As for the lonely girl you mentioned, why didn't you mention that Qin Zong's fiancée also came from the Ji family? She's the same, also raised by Professor Ji. And I think her temperament is much better than Ji Xuewei's!"
Xia Xiu-e was fed up, and this uncle was still talking nonsense about his son's fiancée. She felt suffocated and wanted to interrupt, but her husband pulled her behind him: "You'd better say less today!"
"So you're saying that no matter what, you want to be with that woman and walk down the same path until the end?" The old man's face sank, his expression now revealing his extreme displeasure.
The old lady looked at her son, "Zhenyang, your father is also for your own good. As parents, who doesn't wish their children happiness... It's just that you think she's good now, but what about in the future? You two are not from the same social circle, even if she marries into the Qin family, she won't be able to integrate into this circle. Do you think this is a good thing?"
Can't help but say, the old lady is indeed the most understanding of her son's heart, so she speaks directly to the point. Qin Zhenyang was stunned by what she said, these things he had not considered before, tonight he will go back and ask... However, with her personality, she probably doesn't like that kind of life.
"Zhenyang?" The old lady saw her son had some leeway and was ready to continue.
Qin Zhenyang nodded and said, "Mom, I understand these things in my heart! However, personally, I don't think these are anything. If she wants to integrate into these circles, I can try my best to help her as long as she likes it. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her to do what she doesn't like... In short, I don't think that being from the same social class is the foundation of marriage. You and Dad were also from the same social class when you got married, but you two didn't really love each other, did you?"
Perhaps it can be said that after being together for so long, they are more like family.
Madam Qin's face stiffened at the mention, her husband had been good to her all these years, but no matter how good he was, she couldn't possibly forget that he had left behind a second family in America, children born to him and another woman.
"Mom and Dad, since there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
After Qin Zhenyang left, Old Man Qin went straight upstairs, and Qin Zheng didn't discuss the engagement with his mother either, but instead went to the company with his father. Little did he know that Ji Xuewei was sitting properly on a chair at the office door...
"What brings you here?"
Ji Xuewei stood up and followed him into the office, pouting: "Of course I came to see you. I just went to the hospital for a B-scan and the baby is very healthy, so I came to report back to you... Your assistant was blocking me from coming in earlier, I told him I'm your fiancée but he still wouldn't let me in!"
Qin Zong glanced at her: "This has nothing to do with him, this is the company's rules and regulations... If you have anything, you can call me, no need to rush over, rushing back and forth is not good for the fetus either."
"I know, but I still want to share this joy with you." Ji Xuewei sat on his lap, hooked her neck around his, and gave him a light kiss on the chin.
She always knew how to spark a man's interest, how to make him unable to resist you... If she didn't have some tricks up her sleeve, she probably wouldn't be able to snatch the guy from that cheap woman!
Ji Xuewei's hand wandered over his thigh, Qin Zong was after all a normal man, being touched by a woman like this, he couldn't help but react... He gazed at the woman sitting in his arms with dark eyes and hoarsely said: "Hurry up!"
Ji Xuewei let out a snort of laughter, her hand reached in and with considerable skill manipulated him for quite a few moments before letting him ejaculate.
Afterwards.
Qin Zong looked at her expressionlessly: "Go back after washing your hands, I still have to look at the files, it's not convenient for you to be here..."
Ji Xuewei didn't say anything, suddenly reached out and touched the still slightly swollen corner of his mouth, saying: "How did this happen? Ah Zheng, are the things in the newspaper really true? Did you really fight with Qin Zhenyang for her?"
What's called a fight, it was clear he didn't have any strength to fight back, and was beaten up by someone.
Qin Zong's eyes were slightly cold, he stood up from the chair and pulled away from her: "Some of the things in the newspaper are true, don't think wildly!"
"But... I saw that picture too, do you still have feelings for her?" Ji Xuewei was best at acting, and now her eyes were red, tears streaming down.
Qin Zong furrowed his brow, "I'll have someone send you back!"
"Ahh!"
"You're pregnant now, stop daydreaming all day! Don't come to the company anymore, it's a bad influence."
Although he had some guesses that she was the one who did it, Ji Xuewei was pregnant with his child. He almost blurted out to question her just now, but for the sake of the child, he didn't ask.
Perhaps he wanted to give her an opportunity.
……
At this time, Ji Xiaoli received a call from the company. It was the deputy director of the department who called: "Xiaoli, you also know the company's rules. The people in our company have always been very proper... Now that you've caused such a big commotion, the opinions from above are very strong, especially from the CEO, it's not easy to handle!"
Ji Xiaoli's company is a fashion design firm, which doesn't have much influence in the industry, but it's not entirely unknown either. The boss of the company is a strong-willed woman who divorced her husband a few years ago because he had an affair and found a mistress, so she especially despises that kind of promiscuous woman.
As soon as she saw the newspaper, she made up her mind!
Ji Xiaoli was supposed to go back to work the day after tomorrow, but she had been enjoying her vacation so much that this unexpected event ruined her mood.
"Is the president going to fire me?"
The deputy manager smiled awkwardly: "This is the president's own intention, so... if you have time, why don't you come back and handle the formalities in the next two days?"
Ji Xiaoli has been interning at the company since her senior year, and she has worked hard for three years. Although her performance is not as good as those old men, she is still a skilled hand! Her design drafts have also been reused!
But one sentence from the president determined her fate!
She gritted her teeth in anger, but after all, she was just an employee. The other party could fire her with just one sentence. She took a deep breath and calmly said, "I'm aware of this matter. I'll come to the company within these two days!"
