A letter?
A look of doubt crossed Cheng Ran's eyes. Clearly, this letter was not written by him. He picked it up and looked at the name and signature on it, and a sense of irritation rose between his brows.
I casually opened it and took a look. I didn't expect that Yuan Nian would cause trouble again in the few days he was away from the military region!
In her letter, she actually said that he had defiled her body, and then left her without taking responsibility, leaving her to face the gossip alone!
This is utterly shameless and blatant distortion of the truth!
Cheng Ran casually tossed the letter onto the table, snorted, and uttered two short words.
"Fake."
Mr. Cheng nodded, his expression relaxing slightly.
"I knew you weren't that kind of person..."
"What do you know?!"
At this moment, Cheng's mother shouted, looking at Cheng Ran with a painstaking expression, grabbing his shoulders and persuading him.
“Yuan Nian wrote that in her letter. Would a young woman risk her innocence to slander you? What's done is done. There's nothing to be ashamed of. At worst, you can divorce Jiang Wanqing…”
"mom!"
Upon hearing the word "divorce," Cheng Ran's face visibly contorted with anger. He shook off his mother's hand and spoke with righteous indignation.
"Stop talking nonsense! Wanqing and I are doing just fine. Are you really hoping for our divorce? Nothing happened between Yuan Nian and me. I know that better than anyone. If there's anything to say, it's that the night before I returned to Beijing, she drugged me for her own selfish desires. I found out, and she fled in a panic. Now she's even trying to frame me. I don't know what you saw in her!"
Cheng Ran was seething with anger. Other people's parents hoped that their sons and daughters-in-law would be well, but his parents were completely different. Luckily, he didn't bring Jiang Wanqing back today, otherwise the rift that the couple had just broken would have split again. It was really giving him a headache!
"What are you saying? How could Yuan Nian, a mere young girl, possibly..."
"You're getting more and more confused. Aren't Guo Xueyun and Wang Yan both young girls? What they did wasn't extremely vicious? If you have nothing to do, go practice Tai Chi with my dad. Stop trying to interfere in my and Wanqing's affairs all day long. The evidence that Yuan Nian drugged me was submitted to my superiors before I came back. When I get back this time, I will make sure she gets the punishment she deserves. If you two continue to play matchmaker like this, I'm going to visit your comrade-in-arms surnamed Yuan and ask them how they raised their daughter!"
Cheng Ran knew that his parents had lived for so many decades and what they wanted most and what they wanted to preserve most was their reputation. But the things they did were all slapping their own reputation in the face!
"You...you dare!" Mother Cheng pounded her chest in anger. "It takes two to tango. If you hadn't given Yuan Nian those misleading signals, how could she have..."
"Shut up!"
He was getting impatient and turned to look at his father.
"Dad, do you think the same way as Mom? You should know how serious a military marriage is. If you keep messing things up like this, do you think interfering in my marriage gives you more pride than my future?"
Every word he said struck a chord with Mr. Cheng. The atmosphere fell silent. Just as Mrs. Cheng was about to speak again, her husband pulled her back.
"Alright, Cheng Ran has already said all he needs to say, so let's not interfere anymore. A girl who would drug someone isn't a good person either. Let's leave it at that!"
"you also……"
The less control she had, the more she wanted to control it. Cheng Ran hardened her heart and looked at her mother.
"Mom, I'm telling you this one last time, this kind of thing must never happen again, or I really can promise never to come back to this house!"
After saying that, Cheng Ran strode out, ignoring his mother's calls behind him.
However, since it was still early, and just in case Yuan Nian might do something to him after he returned to the military region, Cheng Ran found a place, wrote a letter, and sent it to the relevant department before returning to Jiang Wanqing's factory.
It was nearly noon, so he found a restaurant nearby and treated a few friends who had worked at the factory that day to lunch. Besides Molly and Hung Hing, Shen Huan was also there.
Considering that the lunch break was not long enough, he ordered a few dishes that were easy to eat.
"Brother Cheng, it's a real pity I have work this afternoon and can't have a proper drink with you. In that case, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine!"
Hong Xing, true to his nature, poured himself a cup of tea, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. Cheng Ran joined him in drinking a cup.
"Anything will do. There will be many more opportunities to get together in the future. Please forgive us for the rush this time," Cheng Ran said politely.
"Comrade Cheng Ran, we understand that you have this intention."
Molly waved her hand, and Shen Huan responded in kind.
The owner served them three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. Just as the dishes were placed on the table, Molly suddenly smelled a fishy odor and turned around to gag.
"vomit……"
"What's wrong with you?" Hung Hing asked hurriedly.
The others were also puzzled. Jiang Wanqing looked worried and went over to pat her back.
"Have you been working too hard these past few days? Are you exhausted? I'll give you two days off..."
"I'm fine, I just don't have a good appetite, it's nothing. Once I get through this period, taking a vacation will be a breeze, so don't let it affect my ability to make money."
"You..."
Jiang Wanqing knew that she was thinking of her and didn't want to delay the delivery schedule, so she felt a little helpless and apologetic.
"Is it really just a lack of appetite? Molly, you're not pregnant, are you?"
Shen Huan said something casually, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
"What...what did you say?"
The most excited were none other than Hung Hing.
"I... I just said it offhand. Isn't there an old saying that pregnant women are prone to vomiting? And I have been really tired lately. You should find some time to see a doctor."
I'm going to be a dad!
Molly glared at Hung Hing and slapped away his hand that was about to touch her stomach.
"It's still far from certain, this is just a guess, don't get too excited."
"Then let's go to the hospital in a bit!"
Seeing their excited, happy, and expectant expressions, Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran were also very pleased. However, another problem arose.
If Molly is really pregnant, she will definitely need to take maternity leave. She needs to be extra careful in the first few months and avoid overexertion. Once she takes a break, Hung Hing needs to make sure he doesn't work overtime for too long and goes back to be with her on time.
Considering all this, Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips. It seemed she had to plan ahead again, but where could she find a few people who could temporarily manage the job?
During the meal, Molly was treated like a protected animal by Hung Hing, who carefully helped her back home after the meal.
Shen Huan followed behind them, unable to suppress a smile.
"If she's really pregnant, you'll be in for a lot of work."
Cheng Ran noticed a hint of melancholy in Jiang Wanqing's eyes and squeezed her hand.
"Are you feeling guilty?"
"Yes, if Molly is really pregnant, I can't let her work so hard."
"It's okay, it's not confirmed yet. If you need more people, we can hire more."
"Um."
Not long after they left, Guihua and Xue Gang sneaked out of the shop and nodded to each other.
"This is so easy! I've got a plan!"
