Chapter 205 Getting into Trouble Again
Gong Mingwei finally mustered up the courage to talk to Xie Ying, but was met with a cold response from the other party. He felt frustrated, but he had lost face in front of Xie Ying today, and no matter how unhappy he was, he could not confront Xie Ying as he had done in the past.
This is what Gong Mingwei can't stand most about Xie Ying. She has absolutely no gentleness or consideration as a woman. She is always cold to him and lectures him just like Old Master Gong. She doesn't look like his wife at all. The entire Gong family, Old Master Gong, Gong Chen, Xie Ying and others seem to be the same kind of people. Only Gong Mingwei is out of tune.
Seeing Gong Mingwei silent, Xie Ying didn't care. She knew the mentality of the man in the back seat of the car, but she didn't want to improve their relationship. The reason she could drive Gong Mingwei back to the Gong family's old house was just because she wanted to go back to the Gong family's old house to see Qian Xiaoya and her two siblings.
As soon as she stepped into the living room, Xie Ying saw the chubby Qian Xiaoya running towards her, calling her grandma sweetly. With a warm smile on her face, Xie Ying handed the packaged cake in her hand to Qian Xiaoya, and the little girl smiled even sweeter.
Qian Xiaoya loves sweets, and almost everyone in the Gong family knows it. Xie Ying brought it specially for her.
Seeing Qian Xiaoya's servile look, Qian Muchue felt helpless. What a little foodie.
Gong Mingwei followed Xie Ying in. Seeing Qian Muchue and others in the living room, he covered his face with his hands and quickly returned to his room. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the younger generation.
"Mom, grandpa was beaten." Qian Xiaoya was very smart. She was close to him and saw Gong Mingwei's expression. She quietly ran to Qian Muchue and whispered in his ear.
The little girl knew that her grandfather Gong Mingwei had a bad temper, and she would even talk to her mother secretly. Qian Muchue raised her eyebrows slightly. No wonder Gong Mingwei was acting weird just now. She knew that Gong Mingwei had gone to see Yao Yue today, and now he was beaten, and came back with his mother-in-law Xie Ying. Qian Muchue couldn't understand the sudden turn of events.
Gong Mingwei learned his lesson today. He returned to his room and immediately called his lawyer. To deal with that bitch Yao Yue, he had to find a professional.
In the hospital, Zhao Wan was hospitalized again to protect the fetus. Gong Wenjie came over early in the morning to show his courtesy, but unfortunately, Zhao Wan had seen through him. No matter what sweet words he said, Zhao Wan felt nothing.
Yesterday, Zhao Xi helped her find a nurse. At night, Zhao Wan lay alone in the hospital, feeling very aggrieved. She couldn't sleep all night and thought a lot. She wanted to marry Gong Wenjie despite her parents' opposition. It had only been a few months, and she had become so miserable that she had been to the hospital many times.
Looking at Gong Wenjie who was talking and smiling in front of her, Zhao Wan thought of the look Zhao Xi gave her yesterday, pity. Yes, she actually saw pity in Zhao Xi's eyes. How miserable must she be to be pitied by others? Zhao Wan took a deep breath. This was not the life she should live.
She should be looked up to by others, but if she continues to be with Gong Wenjie, she will only be pitied by more people like Zhao Xi.
"Wan'er, is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it for you. We can't let you and the baby in your belly suffer." Gong Wenjie coaxed with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He keenly felt that something was wrong with Zhao Wan.
Having lost Gong Mingwei as his backer, the Zhao family is his only way out. Gong Wenjie certainly knows the impact his change in identity will have on Zhao Wan, but he cannot lose Zhao Wan again.
"Wenjie, we are not suitable for each other, let's get a divorce." Zhao Wan said calmly as she looked at Gong Wenjie who was making her happy.
When Gong Wenjie heard this, the smile on his face disappeared. He didn't expect Zhao Wan to say this so quickly.
"Wan'er, I know what happened yesterday had a big impact on you, but even if I am not a descendant of the Gong family, I can take good care of you. I love you and the baby in your belly. I will make you happy." Gong Wenjie held Zhao Wan's hand and confessed affectionately.
Although Gong Wenjie was cursing in his heart, the situation was stronger than him. He could only hide his emotions and try his best to please Zhao Wan.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wan was not moved at all when listening to Gong Wenjie's affectionate confession. She did not believe a word he said. It was very strange that without the halo of being a descendant of the Gong family, Zhao Wan could now easily see through Gong Wenjie.
"Gong Wenjie, I know you don't love me, but it doesn't matter anymore. You are not worthy of me now. Let's find a time to go and complete the divorce procedures." Zhao Wan pulled her hand out of Gong Wenjie's hand. She felt that she had never been so rational.
Hearing Zhao Wan's heartless words, Gong Wenjie was about to say something when his cell phone rang. Gong Wenjie took a look and saw that it was an employee of Mingyue Decoration Company. Gong Wenjie frowned and hung up the phone. If he called at this time, he could only tell him about the misappropriation of funds.
But if he doesn't deal with Zhao Wan now, where will he get the money to fill the hole lost by Mingyue Decoration Company?
"Wan'er, have you forgotten how loving we were before? During this time, I neglected you because of work. This is all my fault. I apologize, but I am also doing this for our future, you know..."
The cell phone rang again, interrupting Gong Wenjie's words. Gong Wenjie was a little angry and hung up the phone without even looking at it.
"Wan'er, I..." Gong Wenjie was about to continue when the phone rang again.
"You answer the phone first." Zhao Wan said without waiting for Gong Wenjie to hang up again.
"It's a company matter. I'll go out and answer it to save you the trouble of listening to it." Gong Wenjie didn't want to hang up the phone again, but he was afraid that Zhao Wan might hear something she shouldn't hear, so he explained with a smile and went outside to answer it with his phone.
Zhao Wan looked at Gong Wenjie's back as he left, revealing a hint of ridicule. He said he loved her, but he was still on guard against her even when he made a phone call, and he said he was afraid of disturbing her. It was really ridiculous.
"What's the matter? You keep making calls one after another. Don't you know to change the time?" Gong Wenjie said dissatisfiedly as soon as the call was connected.
"Manager Gong, something big has happened. The newly replaced materials are unqualified, and several completed projects have failed the acceptance inspection. Manager Gong knows about it and has arranged people to investigate." The person on the other end of the phone said anxiously.
"What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly." Gong Wenjie was confused and asked excitedly.
The person on the other end explained in further detail that Gong Wenjie had previously misappropriated funds from Mingyue Decoration Company, causing the company to be short of funds for long-term operations. Gong Wenjie asked the purchasing department to switch to a cheaper partner. In his opinion, as long as the decoration was completed, others would not be able to tell what materials were used. Using cheaper materials could also save costs.
Unexpectedly, the newly replaced materials did not meet the qualified standards, and several completed projects failed the acceptance inspection. Party A has already contacted Mingyue Decoration Company and demanded compensation.
Because the matter was so serious, it had already been reported to Gong Mingwei. When Gong Wenjie heard this, his head was buzzing. It was over. If it were in the past, Gong Mingwei would help him clean up the mess, but now, he was afraid that he would crush him to death.
