"Okay, I knew it. Given your relationship, you'd definitely trust her. But do you know that while she was away from the factory, Duan Xiaowan's responsibilities went beyond just overseeing your production line; she also managed other matters..."
Seeing how much Molly trusted Jiang Wanqing, Qin Meng felt a pang of resentment. Why didn't she have such a good friend?
But that's alright, she has plenty of ways to drive these two best friends apart, like now...
Sure enough, when Molly heard that Jiang Wanqing was not at the factory, her expression changed, and she looked up at Qin Meng.
"What do you mean by that? Where else could Wanqing be if she's not at the factory?"
"She went out to inspect the various branch factories. Didn't she tell you?" Qin Meng feigned regret. "She probably didn't want you to overthink it. After all, Duan Xiaowan has her authority. Even if you go back after giving birth, who knows who might be exiled..."
She deliberately used the word "exile," and Molly clenched her fist slightly.
Molly had absolute trust in Jiang Wanqing; the two had been friends for so long and knew each other well.
"You came all this way just to tell me this?" Molly scoffed. "I thought you genuinely came to see me, but it turns out you're here to sow discord! You're not welcome here, get out!"
She wasn't stupid; the other person's words and intentions were clearly aimed at making her hate Jiang Wanqing, which only made things stranger.
Perhaps what she said is true, but her motives are definitely not pure!
Qin Meng was being shooed out by her, and Mo's mother happened to see this and exclaimed "Hey!"
"What's going on, Molly? Why are you kicking the guests out? They came all this way to see you..."
"Mom, don't let her in again! She's not here to see me, she's just here to annoy me!"
"ah?"
Mother Mo didn't understand the meaning of those words, but seeing her daughter angry, she was afraid it would affect the baby in her womb, so she had no choice but to move aside.
"Little Qin, I'm so sorry, but next time you come, I'll treat you to a meal."
"It's alright, Auntie, I don't blame Molly." Qin Meng forced a smile and slipped a note into Molly's hand. "This is my new contact information. After my factory is built, I'll need reliable people. I've always thought you were a good person, Molly. If you can come and help me then..."
"Get lost! I won't help you. I thought you were just temporarily blinded by greed, but I never expected you to turn around and attack us! What are you up to!"
Molly was so angry that her chest heaved and she couldn't catch her breath. Her mother quickly patted her back.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. She's gone. There's no need to get so upset. You're still friends..."
"What kind of friend is this! I'm not acknowledging them anymore!"
"Look at you..."
Mother Mo sighed, not knowing what to say, and could only let her be.
As she calmed down, Molly's mind cleared up considerably. Rather than listening to Qin Meng's one-sided story, she decided to seek confirmation from Jiang Wanqing herself!
Thinking this, she quickly contacted the phone numbers of each branch factory, hoping to find Jiang Wanqing and get some answers.
However, after making call after call, either Jiang Wanqing wasn't with them, or she was unavailable to answer the phone. In the end, Molly couldn't get any confirmation.
But in the end, Qin Meng's words still made him waver...
She believed Jiang Wanqing was right, but was Duan Xiaowan... trustworthy?
They were not related by blood, at most they were coworkers, and even had a superior-subordinate relationship before. Duan Xiaowan had finally gained control of the management, would she really give up her position so easily after Molly returned to the factory after giving birth?
Putting herself in Molly's shoes, she also felt that following closely was somewhat risky.
That evening, when Hung Hing returned, Molly subtly asked him questions.
"I heard that Duan Xiaowan has been doing a good job since temporarily taking over my position, and everyone likes her. Is that true?"
This was a completely unintentional question. Hung Hing was washing his feet when he heard it and just hummed in response.
"That's true. She's doing a great job and makes me feel very reassured. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to inspect the branch factory."
Qin Meng was right... Molly pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
She kicked his washbasin and snorted.
"You also think she did a better job than me?"
"hiss……"
Hong Xing scalded his feet with hot water, gasped for breath, quickly wiped them clean with a cloth, and then, both amused and exasperated, put his arm around Molly.
“I only said that Duan Xiaowan did a good job, I didn’t say that she did a better job than you.”
Is there any difference between the two?
Perhaps due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, Molly now insists on winning every argument, leaving Hung Hing helpless.
"Of course there's a difference. You're definitely excellent, but you can't stop others from being excellent, and neither can I. You should understand that, right?"
She fell silent. Indeed, she had always thought highly of Duan Xiaowan, after all, she was one of her subordinates. So when Jiang Wanqing suggested a temporary replacement, she agreed without much hesitation.
It's really inappropriate for me to feel resentful because of some of Qin Meng's words.
but……
Molly frowned, then suddenly turned to look at Hung Hing.
"Wanqing went to inspect the branch factory?"
"Yes, my sister-in-law has left the Beijing area."
"Then why didn't I know?"
"Because your sister-in-law told you to focus on your pregnancy and not worry about things at the factory. The most important thing is to give birth to the baby safely."
Hung Hing answered all her questions flawlessly, but Molly still felt a little uncomfortable. She raised her hand to touch her stomach, which was still flat.
She snorted and said, "I've been thinking about it. It's not much different whether I'm pregnant or not now. I can't stay at home for the full ten months. Tomorrow I'll go to the factory with you to do some simple work. Wanqing isn't here, so it'll be good for me to help her out."
Hong Xing took a deep breath: "Just as I suspected, my sister-in-law was right. She said if she told you, you would definitely have to go back and share her burdens, and that's what she's afraid of... Oh dear..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Molly grabbed his ear.
"You knew and didn't tell me! You all don't consider me one of your own, do you?!"
“Molly… let go… it hurts…” Hung Hing gasped, “It’s because I consider you my closest relative that I don’t want you to be too tired. You should understand your sister-in-law’s good intentions.”
"Wanqing's feelings are Wanqing's feelings, and it's my business if I want to help her. Besides, I don't want to become useless just because I'm pregnant. It's settled then. I'll go to work at the factory tomorrow, just like you guys. When I'm more pregnant and can't work anymore, I'll come back to rest. I'll talk to Wanqing about it. Time for bed!"
Without room for doubt or refusal, Molly finished speaking, lay down on the bed, turned off the light, and gave Hung Hing no chance to refute.
He patted his forehead. What was he going to do now? If he stopped her, she would definitely get angry, which would be even worse for her health.
Never mind... He thought he would contact Jiang Wanqing tomorrow using the factory's landline and ask her to persuade her.
