"Ha! No wonder you know that woman. Not very capable, but her ambition is high!"
Zhang Hongyun sneered, lowering her voice slightly, carrying the scorn her status allowed toward them.
"Since we’re not the sa kind of people as you, I know we’re not worthy to ride in the sa car as you. So take care, goodbye!"
Tan Yiwen gave her one last glance, then turned around, straightened his back, and returned to the car.
It was as if a string in Zhang Hongyun’s mind had been suddenly tugged, and when she turned her head, he was already driving away.
Zhang Hongyun stood there, staring for a long ti at the spot where he left, unable to react, feeling that his temper seed much bigger than hers.
But what right did he have to be so temperantal toward her? If it weren’t for her father’s recomndation, would he be where he is today?
Sure enough, he’s the kind of person who forgets gratitude!
Zhang Hongyun walked forward forcefully, carrying her bag, but today, for Mu Yichen, she had specially returned to change into a pair of particularly flashy and particularly high heels. Walking was like getting her heels rubbed raw every minute. Without n’s attention, the shoes seed to have lost their original value. She looked down at her shoes, thought for a mont, and took out her phone to call for a Didi ride.
When she returned to the apartnt, Zhang Hongyun habitually shouted: "Qingqing, get so water, I’m dying of thirst!"
But there was no response from inside. She kicked off her shoes carelessly, leaned against the wall, and suddenly felt dead tired, working so hard to watch people’s expressions but still ending up thanklessly. What should she do?
Zhang Hongyun thought for a mont, then suddenly thought of her mother, pushed herself onto the couch, and after sitting down, took out her phone from her bag again to call her mom.
"Mom!"
"Hongyun, you still rember to call ? You crazy girl must be having too much fun out there! Aren’t you worried about your mom and dad?"
"Oh co on! I’m calling now, aren’t I? Stop lecturing . Because you’re so naggy, I don’t want to call you."
Zhang Hongyun spoke to her mother, sounding a bit annoyed.
"What?"
Her mother sounded hurt, almost disbelieving.
"By the way, mom, how did you and dad get together back then?"
Zhang Hongyun didn’t notice her mother’s sadness, directly hitting her point of interest.
"Why are you asking?"
Her mother asked over the phone.
"I ask, you just answer. What’s the point of asking so much? I have my reasons!"
Zhang Hongyun massaged her calf, her voice showing impatience.
"Your dad liked , that’s how! We just ended up together!"
"That simple? Didn’t you say dad had a fiancée? How did you entice dad to beco your husband and get rid of the fiancée? Tell , please!"
"They were just fooling the elders. There was no actual affection. What do you an, I enticed your dad? Hongyun, did you have a drink? Are you okay?"
Her mother, hearing those wildly unrelated questions, felt particularly worried for her daughter.
But her daughter...
"I don’t believe it! Dad’s always busy with work; how does he have ti for love? You must have pursued him! Mom, help your daughter out! I like soone now, but he doesn’t even look my way. How can I catch his attention?"
Zhang Hongyun’s tone was both aggrieved and frustrated, she was almost losing her mind. They say pursuing a man is easy, why after all this ti there’s still no effect and she faces the risk of getting fired any mont. She feels like every step is tough, what should she do?
"I was his secretary; I had the most opportunity to get close to him. Taking care of him long enough, he noticed . Hongyun, and your dad were open and official, but with your dad’s personality, don’t go ssing with other families. If your dad finds out, he’ll drag you back to give you a good scolding, Hongyun? Hongyun?"
Her mom still worried about her, but unfortunately, Zhang Hongyun had impatiently hung up, thinking her parents’ relationship was all open and official. What about dad’s forr fiancée? She didn’t believe it. As for other matters, she didn’t care. Being with the one she loves is more important than anything else.
——
Qiao Family.
"Ahem! Now I want to announce so good news, everyone listen up!"
After dinner, everyone was still sitting at the table drinking red wine and chatting, Qiao Yi suddenly stood up seriously, pulling Xi ng along.
Xi ng looked at Qiao Yi all serious, couldn’t help but chuckle, her smile was full of affection.
Everyone looked at them curiously, of course, except Qin Mu, Mu Yichen, and Zhao Huai.
"I’m going to be a dad again!"
Qiao Yi hugged Xi ng’s shoulder tightly, his happiness seed indescribable.
Jiang Zhiyuan and An Nan were completely caught off guard; usually living in their own world, rarely caring about others’ business. An Nan laughed with surprise after hearing: "Is it true? Last gathering Xi ng said she wouldn’t have another child!"
"Bro! Can we not do this!"
Jiang Zhiyuan was sowhat in an unspeakable pain, unable to accept this big surprise.
Xiaoi was also startled, Jing Feng and Helian Hao had been busy with their own affairs recently, so were equally surprised, especially Helian Hao: "Xi ng, you’re pregnant again? You’re just too fast!"
Jing Feng sat there seemingly calm, had considered Xi ng might be pregnant on the way here, hearing the news felt like being hit inwardly, but that was all.
Helian Hao kind of suspected she was pregnant too, planning to find a test strip at the hospital tomorrow. But now, hearing Xi ng’s news, she didn’t dare breathe out, nor tell others she suspected being pregnant, having tried so hard for a second child with Jing Feng, unable to succeed.
"Not fast, not fast! I’m just diligent!"
Qiao Yi joked, also bragging.
"Oh, stop!"
Afraid he’d say sothing improper, Xi ng quickly glared at him.
Qiao Yi still appeared overly happy, smiling silly as if dipped in honey.
"Sister Xi ng, congratulations!"
Xiaoi stood up holding a wine glass, sincerely congratulating her.
"Thank you!"
Xi ng raised her glass, though filled with juice, happily receiving everyone’s blessings, they all have known each other for many years, Xi ng really wants everyone’s blessings.
"Co on, co on, let’s all send blessings!"
An Nan stood up with her wine glass too, such good fortune, of course everyone wants so of that luck.
"Thank you! Thank you all!"
Xi ng was even happier, but still couldn’t match Qiao Yi, being more practical, knowing how much effort and pressure pregnancy brings, while Qiao Yi’s just excited about having two kids, hoping for a son, couldn’t contain himself, longing for the second to be a son, to complete the family.
"But with Xi ng pregnant now, does it an that all the work stuff will be handed over to that Zhang Hongyun? From now on, will Zhang Hongyun follow Brother Yichen closely?"
Suddenly the surroundings went quiet.
