Cheng Ran steadily supported Jiang Wanqing, and the car stopped. He picked her up and carried her out of the car.
The passengers in the car stared in astonishment, their mouths agape.
"What an amazing husband!"
"Tch, she's not missing any arms or legs, why does she need to be carried? She's shameless."
"Exactly! Shameless! It's broad daylight!"
"Why does this place smell so sour? Can't those young couples enjoy it?"
...
Jiang Wanqing couldn't hear the whispers of jealousy or envy. Cheng Ran carried her home and checked her over thoroughly.
Are you injured? Are you twisted? Does your stomach hurt?
Seeing his nervous expression, Jiang Wanqing pressed his hand down, shook her head with a smile.
"It's just a pregnancy, nothing that's so precious. You've taken good care of me, so don't worry."
"Buses are still not safe. Let's buy a car after a while."
As a pregnant woman, she was crammed onto a bus, and it would be terrible if an accident happened. She definitely shouldn't ride a bicycle, as the jolting around would be even more dangerous. That's why Cheng Ran had this idea.
"But wouldn't this be too conspicuous? What if someone targets us and uses it against us..."
Jiang Wanqing didn't not want to buy a car, but Cheng Ran's job was special, and countless eyes were watching him. If he wasn't careful, someone could easily use it against him.
“I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to fear.”
Although he said that, Jiang Wanqing still considered it carefully, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in her mind.
“Hey, I have a solution. Maybe we don’t need to buy the car in our own names, but as a company vehicle. When we’re not using the car, we can let Hung Hing or Molly use it. Wouldn’t that be great? Plus, it’ll avoid a lot of trouble.”
Cheng Ran's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."
"Then I'll go to the factory tomorrow and discuss it with them."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
"What are you saying? You're doing this for my sake. We're just being flexible."
The two looked at each other and smiled...
Before the car purchase was finalized, Cheng Ran borrowed a car from a friend to pick up and drop off Jiang Wanqing during the day.
The car shuttled her back and forth between Huada University and the factory. Many people witnessed it, especially Molly and Yue Shuzhen. When they met at the factory, they teased her about it.
"Oh my, Comrade Wanqing, your husband Cheng really cherishes you. He even uses a car to protect you and the children from any mishap. With a husband like this, what more could a woman ask for?"
"You guys are really something..." Jiang Wanqing sighed, "I have something to discuss with you."
"I also have something to tell you, and it's good news!"
Molly linked arms with her, her expression mysterious, her joy undisguised.
Yue Shuzhen, who was standing next to her, glanced at her and asked, "What? Are you and Hung Hing getting married soon?"
"Hahaha……"
Upon hearing this, Shen Huan and Qin Meng burst into laughter and joined in the teasing.
"That's great news! We should definitely give our gift."
"Go away, it's not even close to being settled yet, don't talk nonsense. I still have to keep it from my parents, you know what I mean." Molly sighed and continued, "What I have to say is even better than this, Wanqing, guess what it is."
I can't guess.
She wanted to cooperate with Molly, but Molly would know about any good news from the factory immediately. Everything had been calm lately, so she really didn't know what the good news was.
"Alright, I'll keep you in suspense for now. Wanqing, tell me about your story."
"My matter is very simple. I want to buy a car under the factory's name. Don't worry, I will pay for the car myself. Everyone can use it in their spare time. Is that okay?"
Jiang Wanqing looked at them seriously and expressed her thoughts. The group exchanged glances, and the air was silent for a few seconds.
When no one voiced their opinion, she assumed everyone was unhappy and changed her tune.
"If you find it inconvenient, then forget it..."
"What's there to calculate! Only a fool wouldn't take a free ride!" Yue Shuzhen said.
"Hahaha... Wanqing, do you think we disagree? Of course not, we just wanted to see you nervous for a little while."
"Oh, you guys! You scared me, didn't you!"
"Hahaha……"
The atmosphere became lively again, and since there was no need for much thought about buying the car, everyone agreed, and the decision was made.
Molly clapped her hands twice: "Ahem... Now it's my turn to speak. The good news I have to announce is that I've found those educated youth who went missing after temporarily turning against us!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanqing became the most excited, her eyes brimming with excitement.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. They've been hiding for so long, it's time for them to show up. Chen Zhong's good days are coming to an end."
"Are those educated youths you mentioned the ones you said could prove Chen Zhong's identity was fake?" Yue Shuzhen asked.
"Yes, I have been investigating since they went missing, and recently I finally learned of their whereabouts through someone we both know."
"What have you found out?"
Jiang Wanqing narrowed her eyes. Back then, they were just one step away from exposing Chen Zhong, but they were told that there was no such whistleblower letter, and those educated youths had disappeared. This matter has always been a thorn in her side, so even now that she knows their whereabouts, she still feels more uneasy.
“I found out that they deserted at the last minute because they accepted bribes from someone. Jiang Xiu was behind it all, giving each of them a large sum of money. Now that the money is gone, they’ve reappeared. Wanqing, we must act quickly this time!”
“Although I’m not entirely clear on this matter, I think Molly is right. It’s better to strike first. They can spend money, and so can we. Let’s get this done first and worry about other things later.”
Yue Shuzhen pursed her lips, crossed her arms, and chimed in, but Jiang Wanqing remained silent and shook her head.
"No, these are all greedy people. Money can't satisfy them. We have to beat them down and make them submit willingly."
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"No rush. Let's deal with Jiang Xiu first. Once we take down this guy they think is their biggest backer, we won't have to worry about a few good-for-nothings causing any trouble. They'll be begging us for help then."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Molly suppressed her impulse, even though she was itching to tear those ungrateful people to pieces, but she had to prioritize the greater good.
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'The higher you fly, the harder you fall'? Chen Zhong is currently busy trying to become the Ye family's son-in-law, so why don't we give him a little push and let him get arrogant?"
Jiang Wanqing curled her lips into a smile. By planting this time bomb in the Ye family, they could wipe them out in one fell swoop, eliminating any potential future problems.
"You mean... to fan the flames and deeply bind him to the Ye family?"
"That's right!"
