Chapter 269 The construction site really exploded

Ji Minghua was dumbfounded.

Was there really an explosion and landslide?

How could that be? She just asked the construction site manager to lie last night!

"Si Chen, are you kidding me? The construction site in Dongcheng was fine, how could it explode?"

"Oh!"

She asked Jiang Xirui again: "Ruirui, please tell mom that everything is fine at the construction site, right?"

Jiang Xirui avoided his gaze and said nothing.

"Did something really happen?" Ji Minghua panicked. Over the years, the Ji family had always had a good reputation and there had been basically no casualties. How come someone died just one month after her son took the job?

"Mom, the casualties aren't serious. Two people were injured and have been sent to the hospital. There is another one..."

“He was already not breathing when he was pulled out of the rubble…” His voice became smaller and smaller, and he felt scared.

He has been addicted to gambling over the years, but he has never caused anyone to die!

Ji Minghua quickly calmed down: "Si Chen's incident has already happened, we at Ji's just need to pay compensation, he's just a worker, give him a few million, his family will be secretly happy!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Sichen felt a chill all over his body: "Just a worker? That's a living life!"

He paced slowly, his face gloomy: "Jiang Xirui, let me ask you, why did you change your partner and use substandard steel and cement?"

"Cousin, don't listen to what outsiders say. I have personally inspected Wang's products. They are not only cheap, but also up to standard. The landslide must have been caused by the workers' poor skills and improper operation!"

Ji Minghua was horrified when he heard this. Most of the companies under Ji's group had fixed partners, and temporarily changing partners was nothing more than a conflict of interest!

She hurried over and said, "Rui Rui, tell me the truth, did you decide to change the original supplier because you found that the product quality was problematic?"

She winked and winked at her son.

Jiang Xirui had a neck brace on and couldn't turn his head freely, so he didn't see her gesture at all.

There was only a nameless anger in my heart.

He came to Yunyan with the sincere intention of making achievements. Even if problems arise along the way, no one can slander him at will!

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I just said that Wang's products are up to standard, and the price is half of the original supplier. They are good quality and cheap. Why not choose Wang's? I also saved the company a lot of money!"

The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets!

Ji Minghua was sweating profusely: "Shut up!"

Jiang Xirui felt wronged.

Ji Sichen didn't say anything else, opened the door and walked out.

There was a noise behind me.

~

In front of the Tan family.

Zhong Shaoqing drove Tan Qinghuan to Xi Town.

On weekdays, the ancient town street is not very busy in the morning, with only local residents coming out for breakfast.

She called Mr. Tan and told him she was almost home.

The two walked to a breakfast shop together.

The boss was warm and thoughtful: "What would you like to eat, young couple?"

Zhong Shaoqing curled the corners of his lips, looked at the menu and ordered a few light meals.

The two were silent.

Tan Qinghuan lowered his head and ate seriously.

Suddenly, she felt nauseous and ran out, covering her mouth.

Zhong Shaoqing chased after him: "Qinghuan, what's wrong with you?"

Tan Qinghuan closed the bathroom door tightly and kept dry-heaving inside. She kept scooping up water to rinse her mouth. It took a long time before she felt better.

He supported himself on the edge of the pool with both hands, his eyes flickering, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Suddenly she remembered what Ye Jinmo said to her last night.

Jin Mo usually doesn't care much about her friend's personal love life, but she suddenly asked about it last night. Did she discover something?

No, no...

She kept it a secret very well.

Coming out of the bathroom, I was met with the man's worried gaze.

"I'm fine. It's probably because the food I ate these days was not fresh and my stomach is upset."

"If you're not feeling well, take a few days off. I heard your project team has plenty of time and there's no rush."

The two returned to the table.

She pushed the meat dishes away and just kept drinking the porridge.

Zhong Shaoqing frowned: "Is this not to your liking?"

He clearly remembered that she always liked to eat these when they had dinner together several times before.

"No, I've had a lot of colds these days, so I'd better eat something light."

She put the bowl down, suddenly losing her appetite.

I checked my phone and saw that it’s already the end of February and my period is already a week late.

She felt vaguely worried.

"Brother Zhong, I'm done eating. Grandpa is still waiting for me, so I'll leave first."

Without waiting for Zhong Shaoqing to speak, she got up and left.

Watching her walk away, frustration welled up in his heart.

She didn't even want to have breakfast with him...

Tan Qinghuan walked out of the breakfast shop, breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and went to a remote pharmacy, where he bought a pregnancy test stick and some vitamins.

When she was leaving, the clerk's eyes changed when he looked at her.

"Miss, this is your stuff, take it!"

She nodded, grabbed the plastic bag and left.

When I got home, Mr. Tan was drinking tea and Tan Mingzhu was pruning branches in the garden.

Seeing her coming back, Mr. Tan looked behind her and said, "Qinghuan, didn't you say that the boy from the Zhong family sent you back? Why don't you invite him in to sit down? You came all the way here."

"Grandpa, there's something urgent going on at the company, and Jinmo's health isn't good either, so he should rush back to the hospital."

"Jinmo girl, I haven't seen her for a long time. Please accompany me to the hospital this afternoon. How could this girl get sick out of nowhere?"

Mr. Tan continued to drink tea.

She agreed casually and hurried upstairs.

Tan Mingzhu came back from the garden, looking suspicious: "Is Qinghuan feeling unwell?"

As a mother, she didn't even notice that her daughter was unwell.

Mr. Tan shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he was tired from taking care of Jinmo last night?"

Tan Mingzhu was worried and followed him upstairs.

In the more than half a year since she returned to the Tan family, her spirit has improved a lot. With Shang Ruyu's treatment, she has been able to let go of many things that happened before, and has forgotten them. Every day she revolves around her father and daughter, and her life is extremely comfortable.

Tan Qinghuan walked into the bathroom with the contraceptive stick and was stunned when he saw the two lines on the test paper.

She...is pregnant?

How could that be?

There was a knock on the door.

"Qing Huan, are you okay?"

She quickly put her clothes in order, threw the pregnancy test stick into the trash can, opened the door and walked out.

Tan Mingzhu looked worried: "My dear, are you feeling unwell?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."

"Then lie down on the bed and rest."

She looked at her daughter lying on the bed, turned and went to the bathroom, wet the towel, and was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of two bars in the trash can.

I was shocked, and bad memories suddenly came to my mind.

She was breathing heavily, her mind filled with bad memories of Wujia Village.

Being beaten, being raped...

No, this is not in Wujia Village, this is in the imperial capital, Tanjia.

She quickly calmed herself down, walked out with a towel, sat beside the bed, and wiped her daughter's hands bit by bit.

"Qing Huan, is there something you are hiding from me and your grandfather?"

Tan Qinghuan's face was in a panic and she closed her eyes in pain. Her mother must have seen it when she was distracted.

"Mom, I..."

"My dear, Mommy just wants to ask you, did you do this willingly or were you forced?"
