The contract date finally came into effect.
Jing Cheng stared at Xie Shizhu's signature, a cold look flashing in his eyes, and said to himself: "Your good days are over."
Liu Lan got up early and met Jing Cheng at a hotel. The two sat together, waiting for good news.
"Son," Liu Lan said with a smile, "after a while, you can marry Cheng Siyu. Also, Mom has something important to tell you."
Jingcheng was completely immersed in a bright future, and everything he wanted most was coming his way.
It’s worth his efforts in recent times.
After performing the role of a good son in front of Jing Zhiyang for so long, the show finally came to an end.
Jing Cheng asked: "What's the important thing?"
Liu Lan was silent for a while. "I won't tell you now. I'll tell you after Jing Yan leaves the position of CEO."
Jing Cheng didn't care about what his mother said at all. He lowered his head to look at his phone, refreshing it from time to time, as if he didn't want to miss the best opportunity to laugh at them.
Liu Lan had agreed on a time with Wu Pengyi some time ago. Once the contract came into effect, she would allow Wu Pengyi to meet Jing Cheng.
The location was the hotel she chose.
She was anxious, afraid that Wu Pengyi would get excited and reveal Jing Cheng's background. She had not planned to tell Jing Cheng this yet.
In this way, she waited for nearly five hours, feeling excited and anxious.
The dishes on the round table had gone cold several times and the waiter had to bring them back several times.
Until dark, there was no sign of Wu Pengyi.
There was nothing on Jingcheng's phone except some entertainment news. He had obviously lost his patience and smoked one cigarette after another.
In just a few hours, he had finished a whole pack of cigarettes.
Jing Cheng frowned and said, "Mom, is it reliable or not? Why is there no movement?"
Liu Lan turned on her phone, found Wu Pengyi's number, and said to Jing Cheng, "Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of. The contract has been signed, there won't be any problems. I'll give him a call."
"who is he?"
Liu Lan hesitated and did not respond, then dialed Wu Pengyi's number, but this time the receiver indicated that the phone he dialed was turned off.
"Why is the phone turned off?" Liu Lan was surprised and tried to call again, but it was still turned off.
When Liu Lan wanted to continue contacting Wu Pengyi, the TV that was playing in the box attracted her attention.
After hearing the sweet female voice say Wu Pengyi's name, Liu Lan put down her phone and immediately looked at the TV.
"According to reports, the owner of Shunyi Real Estate is suspected of violating laws. His former company's seizure of private homes resulted in numerous injuries to residents. One resident now needs a ventilator, requiring substantial medical expenses. Wu Pengyi was supposed to cover these expenses, but he exploited the situation, fled Baicheng, and relaunched his Shunyi Real Estate business in Haicheng..."
Liu Lan's face turned pale instantly. She knew Wu Pengyi mentioned on TV, but she had no idea that Wu Pengyi had committed a crime by not paying medical expenses.
"Police have reopened their investigation, reclaimed Shunyi Real Estate, and discovered several issues with the company, including frequent exploitation of contract loopholes to profit, a violation of our national law...Police are actively searching for this individual. Anyone with information is welcome to call..."
Liu Lan's mind went blank and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, which prevented her from hearing the next sound.
Jing Cheng saw his mother staring at the TV, her face as pale as paper. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Lan was so shocked that she took a long time to recover. After she regained consciousness, she hurriedly deleted all contact information of Wu Pengyi and their chat history.
I was afraid that I would get into trouble because of Wu Pengyi's matter.
Jing Cheng still didn't understand what was going on and asked impatiently, "Will it work?"
Liu Lan swallowed and smiled: "Son, let's go back first. We won't wait any longer. And be quiet for now."
Jing Cheng seemed to realize something and said in a calm voice, "So you failed again this time?"
Liu Lan nodded stiffly.
Jing Cheng was so angry that he stood up from his chair. The result he had been waiting for for a long time ended up being nothing.
He kicked over a chair in anger, causing a loud noise in the room. Jing Cheng put his hands on his hips and said, "If you can't succeed, don't give me hope."
Jing Cheng glared at Liu Lan with hatred in his eyes.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the plan did not fail like last time, where he became a laughing stock.
Jingcheng walked away with heavy steps and slammed the door.
The sound of the door closing made Liu Lan shudder all over.

In the evening, Liu Lan returned home in a daze and saw Jing Zhiyang sitting on the sofa with a document in his hand. After hearing footsteps, he glanced at her with cold eyes and then looked away.
Liu Lan paused. It was the first time she saw Jing Zhiyang's expression like that.
She thought Jing Zhiyang was unhappy because of something at the company, and didn't think much about it.
But Wu Pengyi ran away abroad and left behind a mess. She had previously focused on Wu Pengyi and ignored Jing Zhiyang, and she felt a little guilty.
Liu Lan slowly walked to Jing Zhiyang. Jing Zhiyang closed the folder, put it aside, and turned to look at her.
Before Liu Lan could speak, she said, "I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to get a physical checkup. I've been feeling tired and weak lately."
When Liu Lan heard this, she gently pressed Jing Zhiyang's shoulders and said, "Then I'll go with you."
Jing Zhiyang did not refuse. His eyes shifted from Liu Lan's face, and he said casually, "Let Jing Cheng and his girlfriend come as well, and give her girlfriend a pregnancy test."
When Liu Lan heard him mention Jing Cheng, she was delighted. Jing Zhiyang finally cared about Jing Cheng's affairs. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call him."
Jing Zhiyang smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Yeah."
While taking a shower, Liu Lan conveyed Jing Zhiyang's original words to Jing Cheng.
Jing Cheng was having dinner with Cheng Siyu at the time. He understood the hidden meaning of his mother's words and excitedly said several good words.
He was originally angry because his mother shook him.
But as long as Jing Zhiyang recognizes the baby in Cheng Siyu's belly, then Cheng Siyu will easily become his wife.
After hanging up the phone, Jing Cheng put a piece of vegetable in Cheng Siyu's bowl and said excitedly, "Siyu, my dad will take you to the pregnancy checkup tomorrow. When the time comes, I will ask him for the household registration booklet. After we come out of the hospital, we will go to get the marriage certificate."
Cheng Siyu paused holding the chopsticks, her eyes lit up with joy, "Okay, I can finally marry you."
Cheng Siyu covered her belly and thought to herself, her child is really doing well, it seems her mother was right.
Once you get pregnant, it's a natural progression.
Jing Cheng put down his chopsticks. Thinking of Xie Shizhu and Jing Yan's refusal to have children, he felt very pleased. He said sarcastically, "When they have children, they will have to call our children brother or sister."
This can be considered as suppressing Jing Yan and Xie Shizhu.
"Yes," Cheng Siyu smiled proudly, "Hurry up and eat, or it will get cold soon."
