Chapter 79
"Well, so don't be too nervous. Just wait patiently until 15 weeks for the check-up. If you keep getting nervous now and find out it's a false alarm at 15 weeks, then all your nervousness will be in vain, right?"
Wen Heqing clapped her hands and said, "That makes sense."
She touched her belly and said seriously, "I must give birth to this child."
Jiang Zhinian smiled and silently prayed for the little life in her belly.
Wen Heqing looked at the time and said, "I have to work soon, so I'm leaving now. I'll treat you to some juice later if I have the chance. Bye."
She had curly hair and left in a hurry.
Jiang Zhinian took out his phone again and started looking at the homework. Since they were third graders, they were not allowed to have written winter vacation homework according to the rules. Jiang Zhinian asked each of them to record a short video and talk about what interesting things they encountered during the winter vacation.
Most of the children have uploaded their videos, and only a few parents have not replied to the messages yet. I guess I’ll have to remind them later.
Jiang Zhinian watched patiently for a while, and the more he watched, the more interesting it became, and he was entranced unconsciously.
"My grandparents and I went to Antarctica and saw penguins. They were so cute..."
In the picture, Qin Ziyang, a little boy wearing branded clothes, carefully introduced various penguins in Antarctica to everyone, and even thoughtfully provided various explanatory videos.
Speaking of which, Jiang Zhinian just realized that Qin Ziyang actually had his mother's surname.
She had never met Qin Ziyang's mother. During his three years of elementary school, the housekeeper came to pick up the child, even when he attended parent-teacher meetings. If it weren't for that coincidence, she would never have met Qin Ziyang's uncle, Qin Yuming.
After watching all the videos, Jiang Zhinian put away his phone and stretched his neck.
"Why are you here alone?"
Jiang Zhinian turned his head and suddenly saw Zhao Zean sitting on the stool next to him.
"I'm waiting for my husband." Jiang Zhinian moved a little to the side, leaving a safe distance.
"Your husband actually left you here alone for a prize and ignored you?"
Jiang Zhinian didn't like his tone and stood up to leave.
"I heard that you are pregnant, three months. You were pregnant when I saw you last time." Zhao Ze'an stood up, blocking her way, and spoke in a bad tone.
Jiang Zhinian sensed a hint of danger. She looked around and found that almost everyone in the lounge had left except her. There was no way she could ask for help.
"Excuse me, please move aside or I will call the police."
Zhao Ze'an said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, I didn't do anything. I was just chatting with you. It shouldn't be that serious. Besides, if the matter gets out of hand, it will have a worse impact on you."
After saying that, he spread his hands.
Jiang Zhinian held his stomach and forced himself to calm down.
At times like this, the more flustered she became, the more she would provoke the other person's emotions.
Be calm and find the other person's weakness.
Jiang Zhinian took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked directly into Zhao Zean's eyes. "Tell me, if I put up a banner with your name on it and went to the door of your company with my belly sticking out to cry, what would your leaders think of you?"
Zhao Ze'an was stunned, as if he didn't expect Jiang Zhinian to fight back, and... in such a shameless way.
"What do you mean? I don't think I have offended you."
"You're talking nonsense, and I'm talking nonsense too. Let's all be shameless together."
Anyway, there was no one else here, so Jiang Zhinian just went for it. In this world, people who care about their reputation are more likely to suffer losses.
She was too timid and cowardly in the past, which is why she was always bullied.
Now that she has a child and will soon be a mother, she can no longer endure everything and give in like she did before, even for the sake of her child.
Zhao Ze'an saw her beastly look and suddenly smiled. He took two steps back and raised his hand to show his compromise. "Don't get me wrong, I'm just concerned about you. I feel unsafe seeing you sitting here alone. I don't mean anything else. Don't be so nervous."
His eyes darted around the lounge, as if trying to determine the camera's blind spot.
"Besides, even if I do something now, the police won't be able to get here in time..."
Jiang Zhinian looked at the expression on his face and felt increasingly uneasy.
That look, the look that locked onto prey, was so similar...
Jiang Zhinian suddenly lifted the stool beside him and held it to his chest, saying firmly, "Then give it a try. The worst that can happen is that both of us will perish."
Zhao Ze'an didn't expect Jiang Zhinian to suddenly get angry. Instead, he was a little hesitant. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, especially in a room with cameras.
The curtain of the lounge was lifted, and Shi Ye walked in against the light.
Jiang Zhinian felt relieved: "Shi Ye..."
Shi Ye walked to Jiang Zhinian's side, protecting her behind him, his eyes cold: "If you don't want to go to our hospital for orthopedic treatment, please don't appear in front of my wife again."
Zhao Ze'an said viciously, "Why, in a society ruled by law, you still dare to hit me?"
Shi Ye sneered, "When a wife is being maliciously harassed, the husband's actions are legitimate defense. If you don't even have this little legal knowledge, I suggest you do some more reading."
Zhao Ze'an was stunned. He really didn't know much about domestic laws, but if it happened abroad, a tearful wife and a well-spoken, top-notch lawyer could indeed make the jury feel that the husband was not guilty.
Seeing that he was getting scared, Shi Ye raised his phone and filmed him. "By the way, I have three million followers online. If I beat you up and then spread your story online to gain sympathy, will you lose your job?"
Zhao Ze'an immediately covered his face with his hands: "You can't take pictures of me, you are infringing on my portrait rights."
Shi Ye put his phone in his pocket, took a step forward, and said in a gloomy tone: "If you don't want to be beaten and cyberbullied, be honest in the future and don't let me see you again."
Zhao Ze'an took one last look at Jiang Zhinian, then turned away unwillingly.
Jiang Zhinian walked behind Shi Ye and silently hugged his waist: "You scared me to death just now."
Shi Ye held the back of her hand: "It's okay, you behaved very well and bravely just now."
Jiang Zhinian leaned his head on Shi Ye's back, feeling a little embarrassed: "Really? Actually, I was very scared just now."
Shi Ye turned around and hugged her in his arms: "It's okay, it's normal to be afraid, but it's good that you can scare the other person."
Jiang Zhinian closed his eyes and expressed his concerns: "Shi Ye, I was really afraid that you would fight with him just now."
Although he said he would be fine, the matter had become a big deal after all. By then, the hospital might...
Shi Ye patted his head and said with a smile, "I just lied to him. We live in a country ruled by law. If you win, you go to jail. If you lose, you go to the hospital. I won't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary. Don't worry."
