In the late autumn of Jinghai, the night wind howled, causing the branches to tremble. The cold wind blew like this, chilling the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
Yan Qiang wrapped her coat tightly around her body.
Daodao left in the company car, while Yan Qiang got into Assistant Chen's car.
"What's going on with my mother?"
Yan Qiang asked as soon as she got in the car.
The heating in the car was turned on fully, but it still took Yan Qiang a while to stop shivering.
Assistant Chen turned up the heating a little more, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, miss. Madam has been at home recently. I'm not sure what happened."
Yan Qiang didn't ask again.
After she reported to Huang Qinying and Ning Huanhuan that she was safe, she looked at the message sent to Huo Qi. After confirming that it had been sent, she exited the chat box.
It was completely dark when Yan Qiang got home.
The Yan family's villa was still brightly lit, and Yan Ce was sitting in the living room. When Yan Qiang came back, he asked Aunt Chen to get her something to eat first.
"Where's mom?" Yan Qiang asked.
"Room."
When Yan Ce saw Yan Qiang walking over, he didn't hide her and said directly: "She's pregnant."
Yan Qiang doubted for a moment whether she had heard wrongly.
"It's been almost three months." Yan Ce looked unhappy.
"Whose? That man? She still doesn't say who it is?" Yan Qiang suddenly became angry, "She knows she's pregnant, right? Does that man know?"
In this era, pregnancy out of wedlock is no longer criticized.
But Liu Jinfang is different.
If she is really in love and wants to get married, Yan Qiang and Yan Ce will not object.
But she was so secretive that she didn't even want to tell who this man was, and this man didn't come to see her after knowing that she was taken back to Yan's house, which was evident.
"I'll go up and ask her."
"You should eat something first before going up."
Yan Ce pulled her back and said, "People can't run up there, so don't make yourself angry."
He called Yan Qiang back because he wanted to discuss what to do about this matter together.
After all, Liu Jinfang is their only mother.
"I can't eat without asking."
Yan Qiang felt that this matter was not just about pregnancy. Liu Jinfang's little boyfriend was probably arranged by Su Wanzhen. She was worried that Liu Jinfang would be used by Su Wanzhen and do something irreversible in the end.
This time Yan Ce didn't stop him.
Yan Qiang went upstairs and knocked on the door of Liu Jinfang's room.
"I don't have any freedom. Why are you knocking on the door? Do you think I still have privacy and human rights?"
Liu Jinfang's tone was full of resentment.
It was as if they were not children, but enemies.
Yan Qiang stood outside the door, not in a hurry to go in.
"Mom, it's me," she said, "Can I come in?"
The room was quiet for a few seconds, and then the door was opened from inside.
Liu Jinfang stood at the door with disheveled hair and pajamas. It was pitch black behind her, and even the lights were not turned on.
"If you are here to teach me and want me to tell you who that person is, then please come back."
Her tone was even colder than Ruan Yin, which made Yan Qiang feel colder.
"Mom, am I your biological child?" Yan Qiang was suddenly curious, "Are my brother and I both your biological children?"
Liu Jinfang's expression suddenly changed, and Yan Qiang said again, "What's in your belly is your child, isn't it my brother and me?"
Liu Jinfang seemed to be stabbed in the tail. She grabbed the door frame and couldn't help but raise her voice: "It's because you can't tolerate him!"
"Did you tell us?"
Yan Qiang looked at her, "After you returned to China, you never mentioned that you had a boyfriend, or that you might be getting married, or that you were even pregnant. Ask yourself, is it because we can't tolerate him, or is it because you can't tolerate him anymore? We are."
"You are all adults and he is just an embryo. Are you starting to get jealous of him?"
Liu Jinfang's eyes were full of disbelief: "Qiangqiang, how did you become like this?"
Yan Qiang held back her temper, "What's wrong with me?"
"It's okay for you to be someone else's mistress, but now you can't even tolerate your younger brothers and sisters. Have you spent all these years of upbringing feeding dogs?"
"mom!"
Yan Qiang took a few deep breaths, her heart felt like it had been cut over and over again by a blunt knife.
She closed her eyes and opened them after a while, looking straight at Liu Jinfang: "I was a shady mistress to others, so what are you now? You eloped with a man younger than your own daughter, got pregnant before marriage, and even for This man and the child in his belly want to sever ties with his son and daughter. Mom, what does this mean to you? If you really want to talk about it, it’s just that the upper beam is out of alignment and the lower beam is crooked."
"Snapped--"
Liu Jinfang raised her hand and slapped her.
The loud sound passed through the corridor and reached directly downstairs. Yan Ce almost ran up in two steps.
Yan Qiang covered her face.
She won't fight back.
She just looked at Liu Jinfang calmly: "You want to fall in love, get married, or have children, and no one will stop you. But mom, do you know his details? Do you know his relationship with the Huo family? Do you know He may have been arranged by Su Wanzhen, but do you know that Su Wanzhen wants to take revenge on the Yan family? If you want to push us to the road of death, that's fine, and if you want to cut off the relationship, that's fine. I just hope that for the sake of giving birth to my brother and me, you can Go on, be more kind to the Yan family that he held together."
"Just..."
She paused, and in Liu Jinfang's angry and stunned eyes, she said, "Just think of it as a way to build up virtue for the child in your belly."
Yan Qiang knew that she couldn't wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.
She stopped barking.
Yan Ce walked up to the third floor, and his hurried steps suddenly slowed down after hearing Yan Qiang's words.
He looked at Yan Qiang's face, and then looked at Liu Jinfang who was standing at the door, seemingly at a loss but also looking particularly aggrieved, with a gloomy expression.
"If you want to leave, just leave."
Yan Ce was more than disappointed with her, "I'll ask a lawyer to draft an agreement for the property. It's your part. We won't ask for more than a penny."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to support Yan Qiang: "I'll ask Aunt Chen to boil an egg. You apply it first. Aunt Chen has prepared dinner. You go down and eat something. Have a good sleep at night. I will take care of other things. "
The two of them helped each other downstairs without looking at Liu Jinfang again.
Liu Jinfang stood there. She stretched out her hand and opened her mouth to call them out, but no sound came out.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, her eyes suddenly flashed back to the image of the two of them walking hand in hand when they were children.
Xiaoyan Qiang's steps are delicate and naive. She has just learned to walk and is not very steady yet.
As an older brother, Xiao Yance held her hand and led her forward steadily step by step.
He would hold her tightly and say in his childish voice: "Sister, don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
now.
The two small figures suddenly grew up, and Liu Jinfang subconsciously held her stomach. At that moment, she suddenly thought:
No one will hold the child in her belly to grow up step by step.
