Chapter 274 Your Son Is Not Living Up to His Promise



It is the rainy season now, and heavy rain is falling across the entire province.

The province issued an order to fight the flood.

During those days, Peng Yi often saw Peng Yan's situation on TV. Although Peng Yi did not recognize him, he was always Peng Yi's biological father.

Peng Yi was afraid that he might get into an accident, so he always stared at the TV.

One time while having dinner, Zhou Zi passed by the rear projection screen in the TV station lobby and saw Peng Yi standing there alone, watching TV.

As a TV station worker, TV was so common that everyone went back to their offices to watch it.

Only Peng Yi was standing there alone. The TV was showing news about Peng Yan's frontline flood control efforts.

At that moment, Zhou Zi seemed to see into Peng Yi's heart.

Zhou Zi patted Peng Yi's shoulder from behind and said, "It's over."

Peng Yicai turned around absentmindedly and walked with Zhou Zi.

"Since you care about him so much, why don't you recognize him?" Zhou Zi asked.

"I don't know. Maybe I'm used to it. I'm used to being alone and being ordinary." Peng Yi said.

Zhou Zi smiled and said, "You are not ordinary."

"Director," Peng Yi suddenly said, "I want to go to the front lines of flood control to report."

Zhou Zi said, "Don't joke around, Yanmin will blame me."

"As a new employee, I'm asking you to let me go to the front lines of flood relief to report!"

Peng Yi had only been away from school for a few days when he officially moved out and lived in Jiang Yanmin's house.

Peng Yixian replied solemnly, "This is not only an opportunity, but also allows me to break away from the long-held perception that I got promoted through connections."

"No one thinks you got the job through connections."

"But I want to find a heavyweight program to establish my position." Peng Yi said.

Zhou Zi thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Yan Min."

"No need to ask him. This is my personal choice. It's something about my work. Why are you asking him?" Peng Yi was a little unhappy.

"Ask anyway."

Zhou Zi didn't care about that. Peng Yi was someone she admired. Although she had stepped forward when she faced this situation, she didn't want Peng Yi to put herself in danger. Most importantly, Jiang Jingcheng was not by her side when she put herself in danger.

Zhou Zi asked Jiang Yanmin, but Jiang Yanmin naturally disagreed.

Peng Yi said he was holding him back.

It happened that a reporter from Travel Channel had retired from the online program due to health reasons. Peng Yi wanted to seize this opportunity. Moreover, the person who took over would not arouse doubts that he was only there to provide support because the flood was about to recede. It was not icing on the cake, but a work requirement.

Zhou Zi really felt that Peng Yi should participate in this kind of activity, which would add a lot of weight to Peng Yi. This was something Peng Yi had to do if he wanted to get promoted, and he also had to convince everyone in the future.

Jiang Yanmin also knew that Peng Yi was determined to do it and he couldn't stop him, so he decided to go with Peng Yi.

When they were together, Zhou Zi was particularly worried, and all her thoughts were on these two people.

Both Fengcheng and Jiangcheng encountered torrential rain. Jiang Yanyuan was trapped in Jiangcheng because the plane could not take off and the highway was closed.

After staying in Jiangcheng, he was no longer in a hurry.

Sometimes he would drive and watch Qiao Shiyu from afar as she walked to school from home. Qiao Shiyu also drove. In this kind of weather, she would not walk to school.

Because he didn't disturb her, Jiang Yanyuan just watched from afar, and suddenly felt that people in the storm had a kind of quiet life in a secluded corner, as if the end of the world had come, and everyone had no choice but to be quiet.

At this time, Jiang Yanyuan would smile.

He didn't drive back to Fengcheng until the weather got a little better.

Jiang Jingcheng waited at home for a few days until a violent storm came.

He originally thought that if Jiang Yanyuan came to beg him for mercy at this time, he would definitely kick him out.

But when the storm came, he knew that Jiang Yanyuan was still stranded in Jiangcheng, and he became a little worried.

Jiang Yanyuan came to Jiang Jingcheng's living room one afternoon, around three or four o'clock.

Jiang Jingcheng's anger subsided a lot, but he couldn't change anything.

Seeing Jiang Yanyuan coming back, Jiang Jingcheng asked, "Are you back?"

Jiang Yanyuan thought about it. Did Jiang Jingcheng already know that he was going to Jiangcheng?

"If you have something to say, just say it." Jiang Jingcheng brought a cup of tea and sat on the sofa.

The cup was filled with white tea, and the lingering tea fragrance filled Jiang Yanyuan's nostrils, making him feel very peaceful and calm.

Jiang Jingcheng looked at Jiang Yanyuan, pretending to be listening attentively.

"Dad, your son is not doing well." Jiang Yanyuan said while standing.

"What's wrong? You're doing well in your career."

"Your son has fallen in love with someone he shouldn't like. I know you, Dad, will definitely not agree, so I come to beg you. Love without a father's blessing is unhappy." Jiang Yanyuan spoke in a serious tone, with an attitude of not giving up until he achieved his goal.

"Who is it?" Jiang Jingcheng asked indifferently.

Jiang Yanyuan took a breath and calmed himself down, "Qiao Shiyu. Xiao Qiao."

Jiang Jingcheng seemed to suddenly understand. "Qiao Zhengye's daughter? I remember you hated her to bits back then. Don't you hate her anymore? Did she use some magic to bewitch you, or have your morals declined?"

Jiang Yanyuan lowered his head and tightly closed his lips, "Dad, she changed——"

Jiang Jingcheng couldn't seem to hold it back and started laughing, "Change? What made her change? It's hard to change one's nature. I don't believe it's so easy to change something you brought from the womb."

Jiang Jingcheng didn't say that when Qiao Shiyu asked him for money, she looked very scheming. How could a woman like that change?

Jiang Jingcheng would not tell anyone about the deal between Jiang Jingcheng and Qiao Shiyu. He could not let Jiang Yanyuan know that he had once wanted to abort Yanyuan's child.

Jiang Jingcheng had done things like aborting other women's children before, and he didn't think much of it.

Except for Zhou Zi's children.

The only explanation is that Qiao Shiyu wanted to be with Yanyuan, and Yanyuan happened to be used by her, and now she came to bargain with Jiang Jingcheng.

Jiang Jingcheng really hates scheming women.

"Dad, she's pregnant with my child." Jiang Yanyuan added, "I want to marry her."

Jiang Jingcheng was filled with rage, but he suppressed it. "Didn't she say at the beginning that it was her fiancé? How did it become yours? Or is it that she simply can't tell who it is? Letting such a person into the Jiang family, isn't this a joke?"

Jiang Yanyuan closed his lips tightly. He knew that no matter how much he said, Jiang Jingcheng would not believe him.

Jiang Jingcheng didn't even bother to see how much Qiao Shiyu had changed, nor did he want to know.

In his eyes, Qiao Shiyu was full of scheming and her relationship with men and women was confusing.

"Dad..." Jiang Yanyuan knelt down in front of Jiang Jingcheng, "I know it's useless to say more. I only ask you -"

Jiang Jingcheng looked at Jiang Yanyuan kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth, and said calmly, "Do you think I will soften my heart if you kneel down?"

"No. I just want you to know my attitude!"

"Kneel down. It's better to kneel outside. Kneeling on the carpet doesn't show sincerity." After saying that, Jiang Jingcheng went upstairs.

Jiang Yanyuan gritted his teeth downstairs, and went out as expected, kneeling in front of the villa door.

Although the storm has passed, it is still raining heavily.

The place where Jiang Yanyuan knelt was a rather uneven bluestone road.

He knew his father would not agree, and he knew he would have to go through a lot before Jiang Jingcheng would feel sympathy for him.

Jiang Jingcheng saw Jiang Yanyuan kneeling downstairs from the upstairs window, with raindrops hitting his face.

Jiang Jingcheng angrily swept everything on the table away.

He closed his eyes and calmed down his anger.

Qiao Shiyu——

Jiang Jingcheng hated this woman even more.

Jiang Yanyuan knelt for the whole afternoon, and at 8 o'clock, Zhou Zi got off work.

Zhou Zi stopped the car, came out with an umbrella, and held it for Jiang Yanyuan. She frowned and said, "What's wrong? It's raining so hard? Why are you kneeling outside? Get up."

"Mom——" Jiang Yanyuan called out.

Jiang Yanyuan knew that this matter would ultimately require his father's approval.

He said nothing, his voice too hoarse to speak.

Jiang Yanyuan also knew that the child was his. After telling Zhou Zi, Zhou Zi would not believe it and still knew nothing.

Seeing that Jiang Yanyuan didn't move, Zhou Zi handed the umbrella to Yanyuan and asked him to hold it.

Yanyuan did not answer.

When Zhou Zi saw this, she angrily held her umbrella and went up the stairs and went home.

When she got home, Zhou Zi shouted downstairs, "Jiang Jingcheng, what's going on?"

Seeing no one downstairs, Zhou Zi went upstairs.

Jiang Jingcheng was standing in the bedroom smoking, and Zhou Zi angrily took the cigarette away from him.

"What's going on?" Zhou Zi asked.

These days, Zhou Zi has been very busy with things at home.

"Didn't you ask about your good son?" Jiang Jingcheng sat on the bed and looked up at Zhou Zi.

"I asked him, but he didn't say anything. Judging from his attitude, it seems that he will only get up if you agree. Is there anything else at home that I can't do? What is it? Tell me." Zhou Zi glanced at Jiang Yanyuan from the window again.

"That's right, you do the big things and I'll do the small things. If you can't tell me, you should go down and ask him!" Jiang Jingcheng knew that as long as he said it, Zhou Zi would definitely agree.

She was eager for it, so he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Jiang Jingcheng!" Zhou Zi asked loudly.

Jiang Jingcheng turned around and said nothing.

"Okay!" Zhou Zi tapped Jiang Jingcheng on the back.

She took two umbrellas from home and went downstairs.

When handing the umbrella to Jiang Yanyuan, Jiang Yanyuan saw that Zhou Zizi was holding two umbrellas. He was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Zhou Zizi to hold them, so he took it.

"What's going on? Don't worry about your dad, I have the final say." Zhou Ziyu spoke in a strong tone, as if she was the director who had the final say again.

"I want to marry Xiao Qiao." Jiang Yanyuan raised his head and looked at Zhou Zi, "I know Dad will definitely not agree."

Zhou Zi was stunned for a moment. She knew that Yanyuan had always hated Xiao Qiao. When did this happen?

"But isn't Xiao Qiao pregnant?" Zhou Zi was suddenly confused.

"The child is mine!"

Zhou Zi was even more stunned. What on earth did she miss?

"You—you—when did it happen?" Zhou Zi was particularly confused.

But when I heard that Xiao Qiao's child was Yanyuan's, I was still very excited.
