After Canglan left, Luo Jiaqi remained kneeling on the ground in disbelief. She couldn't believe that the person who had cherished her so much could be so heartless.
Mrs. Luo quickly stepped forward and helped her up. "Child, get up quickly! I told you you had mistaken him for someone else, didn't I?"
Mrs. Luo's family also has a touching sense of logic.
It's perfectly acceptable for them to let others down, and if others let them down, it's because they misjudged them.
This is typical of an egoist.
"Alright, alright! Get up quickly!" Mr. Luo quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Qian Zhenghao remained indifferent throughout, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
He yawned, went into the room, and lay down first.
“Zhenghao, we’re all here! How can you be so selfish?” Madam Luo was the first to speak up.
"That's right! Zhenghao, I'm not trying to be mean, but as a man, you're really too clueless!" Luo's father also looked disgusted.
Luo Jiaqi looked embarrassed and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, stop talking!"
"Jiaqi! If you ask me, you're just too soft-hearted! Zhenghao is like this now, you have to do something about him!" Madam Luo said sarcastically.
Ever since she saw that Cang Nan, whom she used to despise, had become a manager here, while Qian Zhenghao was so useless, she felt increasingly uneasy.
But to everyone's surprise, Qian Zhenghao ignored him completely, turned over, curled up, and continued sleeping.
"Zhenghao, did you even hear me? Is this how you treat your elders when they talk to you?" Madam Luo was even more furious when Qian Zhenghao ignored her.
“You should find something serious to do. Things are different now. Jiaqi is so pregnant now. You should at least think about them, mother and child! You can’t just do nothing all day and indulge in debauchery.” Madam Luo got more and more excited as she spoke.
She initially chose Qian Zhenghao because the Qian family's social standing was far superior to hers.
So after Qian Zhenghao got married, he spent his days indulging in pleasure and debauchery, and she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of upsetting the Qian family.
Now that the Qian family has completely collapsed, she can no longer suppress the resentment in her heart.
Qian Zhenghao was a pampered and spoiled man who had never been treated like this before.
He suddenly sat up, his eyes wide with anger.
"What, are you all looking down on me now?"
"Zhenghao, why are you saying this? We're just concerned about you. What's wrong with you, child? Why are you taking our kindness for granted?" Madam Luo was furious when he saw through her intentions.
"Concerned about me? Do you think I'm stupid? Why did you have to show concern now of all times?" Qian Zhenghao rolled his eyes; he wasn't buying it.
“That’s right! You all look down on me now, but don’t you remember who was chasing after me and insisting on marrying Luo Jiaqi to me? What’s wrong? Do you regret it now?” Qian Zhenghao said sarcastically.
"So, seeing that someone's ex-lover is in power, you suddenly regret it and are planning to sell your daughter again? But don't you even think about it?" Qian Zhenghao pointed to Luo Jiaqi's stomach. "With Luo Jiaqi like a used woman, what man would want her?"
"I'm afraid your wishful thinking is going to backfire! I advise you to stop messing around!" After saying that, Qian Zhenghao continued to lie sprawled out on the bed and sleep.
Only Mr. and Mrs. Luo were left there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Ahem!" Mr. Luo was no less as shrewd as Mrs. Luo. "Zhenghao is right. Although the Qian family has indeed fallen on hard times, we cannot be fickle. If this reputation gets out, who will trust us?"
"But!" Madam Luo glared at Qian Zhenghao with some resentment.
"Alright, stop talking! As long as Zhenghao and Jiaqi can be together, we should support them!" Qian Zhenghao is right. Given Jiaqi's current state, it wouldn't be easy for her to find someone else.
Because Qian Zhenghao had already taken the bed in the lounge, Mr. and Mrs. Luo could only sleep on the old, worn-out bed outside.
Luo Jiaqi carefully slept next to Qian Zhenghao.
When she first went on a blind date with Qian Zhenghao, she was actually unwilling because she still had feelings for Cang Nan at the time.
It was only after she actually married him that she was attracted to his playboy and carefree attitude, which is typical of children of high-ranking officials. Perhaps this is what they mean by "women don't love men who aren't a little bad."
She and Cang Nan had been together for so many years, but she never truly gave herself to him.
However, after only three days with Qian Zhenghao, he was successfully won over by him.
Perhaps she herself didn't realize that deep down she actually admired strength?
She hugged the blanket, feeling the baby's movements in her belly, and the night passed just like that.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Madam Luo eagerly inquired about the doorway of Wang Sicong's room.
But as soon as she reached the door, she spotted several other ladies who had the same purpose as him.
"Mrs. Ouyang, Mrs. Murong, Mrs. Sheng, what brings you all here?" Mrs. Luo looked at them with an embarrassed expression.
"Mrs. Luo, you actually came too!" Since they were all in the same circle, they naturally knew each other.
"Dean Wang, has he gotten up?"
"Not yet! Mrs. Luo, are you here to see Dean Wang too?" Mrs. Ouyang was a beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes. Although she was over middle age, she still retained her charm.
"Yes! Mrs. Ouyang, you too? Did you sleep well last night?"
"Oh dear, Mrs. Luo, please don't say that! What kind of rooms did they arrange? The blankets were all torn and tattered, and the room smelled terrible. Oh dear, I didn't get a wink of sleep all night!" Mrs. Ouyang complained.
Once one person started complaining, everyone else joined in and started talking too.
"It's the same where I live! That faucet! It leaked all night long! It kept me and Lao Sheng up all night!"
"What kind of rooms did Xiao Li arrange for us? I need to have a serious talk with Dean Wang about this!"
"Exactly! We need to have a serious talk with Dean Wang!"
"That's right! We traveled all this way, and they made it sound so nice, but who knew we'd be treated like this!"
"That's absolutely right! Who can argue with that? Back when we were in H country, we never suffered such humiliation."
This group of people has long been accustomed to privileges, so it's natural for them to protest when their treatment doesn't meet their expectations.
