C1 Pregnancy

Qin Rou turned off her laptop on time at five o'clock. She never worked overtime, so she didn't expect to get a promotion or a raise in salary. She only did so to have more time to take care of her husband and children.

Although this was the Tang Group Finance Department, where many people squeezed their brains out to enter, Qin Rou was not an ambitious woman. She always thought that to women, the happiness of a family was more important than the success of a career.

Qin Rou was not very busy with her work. Every day, half an hour before she left work, she would plan out a meal for her entire family. After that, she would pick up her son's freshman year job from school and stop by the market to buy dinner.

It was like this every day, yet Qin Rou didn't feel tired at all as she immersed herself in it, because this was the meaning of her life.

"Mom, I'm back."

Qin Rou held the dish in one hand and held the hands of the first child. Just as she entered, she saw her mother-in-law Xun Fang and her husband, Zhao Jianzhong, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She greeted her mother-in-law as usual and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Qin Rou, wait a moment."

Xun Fang stopped Qin Rou.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Qin Rou puzzledly turned her head, faintly feeling that Grandma's tone was a bit heavy today.

"Jianzhong, go ahead."

Xun Fang did not answer and instead looked towards her son.

Zhao Jianzhong frowned. He didn't seem to have any intention of opening his mouth.

"Since you don't want to say it, let me say it. Take a look at this."

Xun Fang calmly handed over a folder to Qin Rou, who had walked back to her.

Parentage assessment!

"Number one, go to your room and do your homework."

When Qin Rou saw the words on the folder, she was at a loss and even more surprised. She didn't understand what her mother-in-law meant, but she reacted immediately as she spoke to her son, who was still playing in the living room.

"How could that be? Did we make a mistake in the hospital? Or did we carry the child wrong? Jianzhong, let's go. We'll go to the hospital and ask them to check the birth date of the child."

Looking at the black text, Qin Rou's face was filled with shock. This appraisal result was no different from a thunderbolt in a clear sky. Her voice sounded panicked, and she subconsciously turned to her husband for help.

"There's no need to go. This child isn't mine, it's Feng Shao's."

Zhao Jianzhong's tone was cold and firm.

"That's impossible. Jianzhong, Mom can misunderstand me. How can you throw dirty water on me? I'm your wife."

Qin Rou staggered and almost lost her balance. She shook her head with all her might, unable to believe that Zhao Jianzhong could say such words.

Feng Shao was the president of the Tang Group, but it had nothing to do with her. This was something Zhao Jianzhong, who also worked in the Tang Family's Sales Department, should know.

Suddenly, Qin Rou seemed to have thought of something as her complexion started to turn slightly pale.

"At the time, I was pregnant with Little Yi, and it was an accident because we drank too much on our wedding night. But I swear, besides you, I never had sex with a second man."

Qin Rou muttered to herself with a trembling voice. She was recalling it, and her tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

"You didn't go back to our room, but slept on Feng Shao's bed. I saw you coming out of his room with my own eyes the next morning."

Zhao Jianzhong automatically concealed the story of him pouring wine for Qin Rou and taking the opportunity to drug her. Afterwards, he helped her, who was completely unconscious, into Feng Shao's room.

Zhao Jianzhong's words were like a sharp knife that stabbed at Qin Rou's heart. She finally understood why when Zhao Jianzhong first found out that she was pregnant, not only was he not happy, he even tried to give birth to her. If she wasn't protecting him with her life, he would definitely have given birth to this child.

Qin Rou knew that she couldn't handle the alcohol, but she clearly remembered that she didn't drink too much that night and wasn't at the wrong place. Furthermore, she remembered that she went back to her room with Zhao Jianzhong.

She thought of one possibility. Zhao Jianzhong was the head of their group's sales department. That year, he was at the critical point in the rise of his business …

Thinking about that, Qin Rou felt terrified. She had wholeheartedly set her heart on doing such a thing for her family. Yet, Zhao Jianzhong had actually done such a thing to her.

Just as Qin Rou was about to ask, someone knocked on the door.

She didn't expect that Li Ling was standing at the door with her stomach hanging out.

Li Ling was also an employee of the Tang Group. Although she was in the Sales Department with Zhao Jianzhong, she was very close to Qin Rou. The two had a good relationship.

Although it wasn't working hours, he would often come to Qin Rou's house.

"Little Ling, come in quickly. Be careful of your body."

Seeing that her good friend had come knocking on her door, Qin Rou didn't want to expose her family's disgrace that had yet to be tidied up. She forced herself to smile as she prepared to greet Li Ling.

But at this time, Grandma Xun Fang stood up first and enthusiastically greeted him. Zhao Jianzhong also followed behind her.

Qin Rou was a little confused. Although Li Ling was a regular customer of this family, Xun Fang's reaction was a little too excessive. After all, she was her friend.

"Little Ling, your stomach?"

Looking at Li Ling's protruding stomach, Qin Rou realized that she hadn't seen her for a long time and didn't know that she was pregnant.

"Qin Rou, I'm pregnant. This child has already been five months."

Li Ling gave Qin Rou a bright smile, but intentionally looked at Zhao Jianzhong.

"Yes."

Before Qin Rou could finish her sentence, Li Ling added.

As she spoke, she had already walked towards Zhao Jianzhong's side with her waist up.

Zhao Jianzhong reached out his hand to support Li Ling. His movements were slow and skilled.

Qin Rou felt as though her heart was collapsing. If she still doubted what Li Ling had said just now, she would be lying to herself.

She had never expected that when she treated Li Ling as a good friend, she would crawl into her husband's bed.

"Mom, the reason you brought out the paternity test today was for this, right?"

Qin Rou asked word by word while pointing at Li Ling's stomach.

Xun Fang did not say anything. It could be said that she had tacitly agreed.

Qin Rou looked at Zhao Jianzhong. She wanted to hear how he would explain this matter, but what she got was silence.

"Qin Rou, I advise you to show some face. Stop pretending to look as if you have suffered all sorts of grievances and grievances. I won't be tricked by you."

Seeing this, Li Ling's complacent expression became even more obvious. She spoke in a sour tone.

"Qin Rou, let's get a divorce."

Zhao Jianzhong was really protective of Li Ling. She was challenged by the Third Young Master, and before she could even reply, her husband had already proposed for her to get a divorce.

"It's fine for me to get divorced, but all the money I earned over the years is kept by my mom. If you get what belongs to me, then go and complete the procedures."

Today's consecutive blows had disheartened Qin Rou. Since it had come to this, she felt that there was no point in arguing anymore.

Qin Rou's mother-in-law had always been a domineering person in this family. Even though Qin Rou and Zhao Jianzhong had been married for several years, the wages of the couple were still in her hands.

"Stop dreaming. Our Zhao Family has raised a bastard for you over the years. Consider it living expenses. It's already considered cheap."

Xun Fang gritted her teeth.

"Just do what you have to do. Don't confuse the two matters, not to mention the fact that it is not certain yet."

Qin Rou didn't think that her mother-in-law would covet her own salary at this time. Naturally, she couldn't agree to this and argued with her.

"No, I'll go get it myself."

Qin Rou was so angry that she turned around and headed for Xun Fang's bedroom.

"Mom, is this it?"

Xun Fang held onto Qin Rou and didn't let her leave. Unexpectedly, Little Yi came out at this time, holding a book in his hand. It was likely that the argument outside had long attracted his attention.

"Good, you little bastard actually dared to steal something."

Xun Fang yelled at Xiao Yi as she reached out a hand to slap him.

"Clap clap."

Qin Rou did not even think before two of her palms landed on Xun Fang's face.
