Speaker Luo returned to his residence dejectedly; he had never encountered such a setback in his life.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw his wife and daughter looking at him expectantly.
"Old Luo, how did it go? What did Li Churan say to you?" Madam Luo looked at Speaker Luo with anticipation.
"Hey! Stop talking! These young people these days don't give any face at all!" Speaker Luo plopped down in his chair, which creaked heavily under the weight.
He instinctively reached for a cigar, but when he pulled out the box, he found there was only one left, so he had to put it back.
"What? Is Li Churan really that arrogant? Doesn't he even think about what he relied on to get to where he is today!" Madam Luo said indignantly.
"It's no use saying anything now. The problem is he's not going to give us old guys any face at all!" Speaker Luo said impatiently.
"Why don't you go and talk to Dean Wang?" Madam Luo leaned closer and suggested.
"What's the use? In my opinion, he's unlikely to give Dean Wang any face!" Speaker Luo said meaningfully.
"What? He doesn't even give Dean Wang face!" Madam Luo was completely deflated.
"By the way, where's Zheng Hao? Where did he go?" Speaker Luo suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing from the room.
"I sent him away!" Mrs. Luo crossed her arms, her face full of displeasure and disgust.
Luo Jiaqi lowered her head, looking troubled.
"Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?" His wife has never been one to be trifled with.
"The reason I specifically sent him away was so I could have a proper talk with Jiaqi." Madam Luo glanced at Luo Jiaqi, her face full of disappointment and frustration.
"What's wrong?" Speaker Luo glanced at her impatiently. "What are you trying to do now?"
“What do you mean, what do I want to do? Whatever I do is for the good of this family!” Mrs. Luo took Speaker Luo’s arm and pulled him up.
"Old Luo, you need to come and persuade Jiaqi! Tell her to make things clear with this Qian Zhenghao and cut off all ties with him." Madam Luo said, glaring fiercely at Luo Jiaqi.
"Mom! Please don't do this!" Luo Jiaqi pleaded. "No matter what, Zheng Hao and I are already husband and wife, and I'm carrying his child."
"Jiaqi, silly child, how could you be so foolish?" Madam Luo touched Luo Jiaqi's face with heartache. "Ever since you married Qian Zhenghao, how often has he been home? All he does is flirt with other women and indulge in debauchery. You're pregnant, and he still doesn't know how to stop."
“If it were before, then it would be fine. Back then, he was the only son of the Qian family. If you married him, you would have endless wealth and honor for the rest of your life.”
"But what about now? The rest of the Qian family are all dead, and the Qian family has fallen. He's not even worth as much as a pretty face now. How can he provide you and your daughter with a happy life in the future?"
"I'm not thinking about myself. How many years do I have left to live? But you're still young. Are you willing to spend your whole life rolling around in the mud?" Mrs. Luo coaxed gently.
The same excuse was used when they asked Luo Jiaqi to go on blind dates.
"Mom! Stop talking! I can't, I really can't!" Luo Jiaqi touched her belly, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Mrs. Luo knew that Luo Jiaqi was beginning to waver. Luo Jiaqi had been spoiled since childhood and was quite weak-willed.
"Alright! Jiaqi is pregnant! Stop pressuring her like this!" Speaker Luo frowned.
"If we don't pressure her, what else can we do? Let her continue to be entangled with Qian Zhenghao like this?" Madam Luo's face was full of displeasure.
"No matter what plans you have in mind, Jiaqi is already six months pregnant." Speaker Luo was fully aware of Madam Luo's ulterior motives. She simply wanted to separate Luo Jiaqi and Qian Zhenghao because she saw that Canglan was gaining power here.
"What do you know? Back then, Canglan was completely devoted to Jiaqi. He was willing to do anything for her. Although Jiaqi is pregnant with another man's child now, I believe that as long as Jiaqi takes the initiative to go to him and says a few kind words, he will definitely soften his heart," Madam Luo said confidently.
It's no wonder Madam Luo thinks that way; Canglan was indeed devoted to Luo Jiaqi before.
"Moreover, I've already had someone inquire about it today. Canglan holds a high position here. He's one of the people Li Churan values most. As long as Jiaqi and he can reunite, getting a position here again will be a piece of cake."
Speaker Luo's heart stirred. What she said made sense. Although it might not succeed, it was still an opportunity.
He turned his head away and sighed, meaning he had tacitly agreed.
Seeing that Speaker Luo had already agreed, Madam Luo persuaded him even more enthusiastically.
"Jiaqi, you can trust me on this matter! Besides, didn't you and Canglan have a good relationship before? Actually, this is also my fault. I shouldn't have let you go on a blind date with Qian Zhenghao. If it weren't for what happened back then, you and Canglan might have already gotten married!"
“Jiaqi, listen to me! This kind of thing happens all the time. Don’t be so rigid in your thinking. Given how much Canglan valued you before, he will definitely forgive you. He will treat your child as his own. If he doesn’t accept it, you can give birth to the child. At worst, we can send the child away. It won’t affect your lives at all!” Madam Luo analyzed for her.
“But I am Zheng Hao’s wife now…” Luo Jiaqi was a traditional person after all.
"You silly child, what's this all about? Couples are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Besides, this is City A, not the Federation."
Just as Madam Luo was making her plans, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Who! Who is it?" Mrs. Luo was startled.
"Such a big matter to discuss, and they don't even bother to come to me?" Qian Zhenghao said nonchalantly, leaning against the door.
"Zhenghao, what brings you here? When did you arrive?" Luo Jiaqi stood up in alarm.
"Just now, behind my back, you were discussing your plans to cheat on me." Qian Zhenghao leaned against the door frame with a roguish air.
"What did you hear?" Mrs. Luo asked warily.
"You don't need to ask anymore! I've already heard everything I need to hear!" Qian Zhenghao sat down on the table nonchalantly, showing no fear in the face of his mother-in-law's gaze.
