Chapter 74 A stark contrast in circumstances

“I don’t acknowledge it. Why should I acknowledge it? This is completely fabricated.”

Although Jiang Xixi had already answered, Director Zhang still refused to let her go.

"Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. You haven't done it, so why would anyone say that?" Hearing the aggressive voice in her ear, Jiang Xixi laughed in anger.

"Director Zhang, right? I seem to remember you going to Hongguo Hutong quite often. Who's there? Is it your lover?"

Anyone can create something from nothing.

"You're talking nonsense! I've never been there. What lover? You're completely clueless." Director Zhang blushed deeply under the suspicious gazes of Director Wang and Manager Chen beside him.

"Huh? You didn't do it? Then why would I say that? Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If you hadn't done it, why would I say that? Director Zhang, don't you agree?"

In this situation, simply trying to prove oneself is useless; one should fight fire with fire.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang immediately understood that this was a pretext to shut him down.

His expression changed rapidly, a truly fascinating display.

"You're being unreasonable!"

Having dealt with this situation, Jiang Xixi then turned her attention to Manager Chen.

After all, he was his supervisor, and compared to his rudeness towards Director Zhang, his attitude towards Manager Chen was already quite good.

"Manager Chen, I think you heard this from someone else. I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is definitely not true."

Moreover, whether Jiang Weiguo and his wife are my biological parents is still up in the air.

Even so, I have already severed ties with them as their children. Their mistakes should not implicate me.

Jiang Xixi spoke quickly and urgently, but it warmed Manager Chen's heart.

Good heavens, it seems he's saved his promotion.

Severing ties with children is now legally recognized.

"It's alright, Xixi, there's no need to get so worked up. We're just here to find out what's going on."

You just returned from Rongcheng and may not know the specifics. The fact that your parents were ex-convicts has been leaked by someone, and basically all the employees in our department store know about it. It's had a very negative impact, and many people are expressing strong opinions. We don't know what to do, and we hope you can understand.

Are the opinions heated?

Perhaps he's very unhappy about becoming the head of the purchasing department.

Now that we've finally found a mistake, we have to hold onto it tightly.

"Hmph, you ungrateful wretch! Cut ties with your parents! No matter what, they gave you life and raised you. How dare you treat them like this?"

Director Zhang was furious and said something in a very harsh tone.

"Be filial to your parents? Be filial to parents who don't treat me like a daughter and even want me to die?"

I certainly can't do that, but Director Zhang, you can try it on your own children.

Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering yourself!

It seems Director Zhang doesn't understand this principle!

The office fell silent immediately after these words, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.

All that was left was Director Zhang, who looked like he wanted to refute but didn't know how, gesticulating wildly, looking like a joke...

...

"Yu Rou, eat more. Tell Mom what you want to eat and Mom will make it for you."

Chen's mother looked at Jiang Yurou's belly with loving eyes, her expression full of joy.

The Chen family finally has an heir.

Thinking of this, Chen's mother couldn't help but wipe away her tears. She had thought she would never be able to hold her grandson in her life, but now she finally had the face to face her ancestors.

Perhaps due to pregnancy symptoms, Jiang Yurou had an exceptionally good appetite.

Chen's mother made a plate of braised pork and a bowl of noodles, which were emptied in no time.

Jiang Yurou still looked like she hadn't had enough.

"Mom, make me some more," Jiang Yurou patted her stomach and instructed Chen's mother.

Chen's mother looked a little embarrassed. "Yu Rou, you can't eat too much during pregnancy. Why don't you stop eating for now and I'll make you something tonight?"

"What are you cooking for tonight? I'm starving. Don't you want your grandson anymore? Go cook for me. I want tomato and egg noodles."

Since becoming pregnant, Jiang Yurou's temper has become increasingly worse, especially when it comes to food. If anything doesn't go her way, she'll throw a huge tantrum.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was about to smash the bowl on the ground, Chen's mother quickly stopped her, lest she smash it again and the children would have no bowls to eat.

"Mom will make it for you, you wait here, I'll go now." Chen's mother breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Jiang Yurou sit down on the stool again.

But he didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed into the kitchen.

When Chen Wenli saw this, his face froze.

"Eat, keep eating! You're going to turn into a pig!"

Thinking that the white noodles his mother had promised to make for him were about to be gone again, Chen Wenli was furious.

Since Jiang Yurou became pregnant, all the good food in the house has been reserved for her. These days, he, as a sick man, hasn't had a single good thing to eat, and his mouth feels as bland as a bird.

Despite his resentment, Chen Wenli dared not show it on his face.

Because he promised Xia Zhiqing five hundred yuan last time, now if he shows the slightest dissatisfaction with Jiang Yurou, he will be met with her Nine Yin Claw.

Because Jiang Yurou was pregnant with their grandson, her parents only told her to endure it, and the thought of this made Chen Wenli feel extremely aggrieved.

He felt frustrated, but Jiang Yurou had been in a great mood these past few days.

The serfs were liberated and became masters; who wouldn't be happy in that situation?

Moreover, there's the matter of Jiang Xixi.

The thought of Jiang Xixi losing her job because of her, being invited to the Revolutionary Committee for questioning, and even being forced to apologize to her made Jiang Yurou smile happily.

The fat on his face jiggled a few times as a result.

However, her wish was destined to remain unfulfilled.

...

"Wei Laicheng, your teacher's wife wants us to go to the capital."

The incident didn't bother Jiang Xixi much, although some clueless employees still cursed at her at work.

But Jiang Xixi didn't care at all.

Because she would always choose to yell back on the spot.

The main point is to avoid being bullied.

Jiang Xixi was somewhat surprised to receive a letter from Mrs. Jiang today.

"Didn't your teacher's wife say what she wanted us to do in the capital?" Wei Laicheng asked, somewhat puzzled. Given his teacher's wife's personality, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to send them if it wasn't something important.

Jiang Xixi just happened to see the key part of the letter.

Jiang Xixi couldn't stop smiling as she read something, but when she saw the end of the letter, her brows furrowed again.

"Wei Laicheng, look at this!"

When Wei Laicheng received the letter, he was still wondering what his wife was trying to keep secret.

"Honey, my teacher's wife said our skincare products are selling so well that the Beijing Friendship Store wants to sign a long-term agreement with us! They've invited us to Beijing to sign the contract."

"Honey, am I seeing things? You're amazing!"

The skincare business was successful entirely thanks to his wife's intelligence and resourcefulness; she truly is the most capable!

“Wei Laicheng, don’t be too happy yet. Look at what Mrs. Xinwei said.”

Jiang Xixi's expression was somewhat solemn.

Seeing his wife in such a state, Wei Laicheng didn't dare to delay and quickly flipped to the last page to read.

"how so?"
