Yan Yi sat alone on the sofa, tilting his head back and pouring half a glass of golden wine down his throat. The burning pain of the alcohol was like a raging fire, but it still couldn't suppress the guilt and self-blame in his heart.

Fortunately, the baby in her belly was fine.

Otherwise, he might never be able to forgive himself in this life.

…

After Zhong Qing left, Pei Yang briefly told Shen Mingzhu about the commotion at Hengxing yesterday.

After Shen Mingzhu found out, besides feeling sorry for him having to suffer the cold all night, she felt more guilty and regretful.

"I should have listened to you at the time. I shouldn't have been so eager for quick success and should have taken a steady approach."

Pei Yang rubbed her face with a gentle smile between his brows, "I am also responsible for not stopping you at that time. Besides, they were unintentional and we can't hide from them just because we want to."

Shen Mingzhu didn't understand. "Why? We are such a small factory, we won't offend a big company like Hengxing."

Pei Yang thought about it and told him about Shi Guangsheng asking him to buy the apple candies.

"I guess our cooperation with Hengxing this time may have hindered the Xiyuan Sugar Factory's path, so they teamed up with Huangyuan to come up with this plan, which not only allows them to report to their superiors but also allows them to suppress us."

Pei Yang was concentrating on analyzing his views with Shen Mingzhu and did not notice the coldness on Pei Ziheng's snow-white face beside him.

Xiyuan Sugar Factory, Shi Guangsheng, it turns out that it was this scum who harmed my mother.

"Wife, take good care of your pregnancy. I'll take care of the factory affairs. My brother and sister-in-law and I will try to sell some candy first and pay the workers so that they can go home early to celebrate the New Year. We'll slowly figure out how to handle the rest."

"good."

Shen Mingzhu held his hand, somewhat reluctant to let go.

She didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy, but she felt a little squeamish and wanted him to be with her, but she also knew that he had to go out and do things.

Otherwise, the family of four would really be left with nothing.

"Be careful yourself."

"Um."

As her bedmate, Pei Yang could naturally feel her emotional changes, and he also enjoyed such changes and his wife's dependence on him and her coquettishness.

He touched Shen Mingzhu's fair little face lovingly, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Dad, I'll go to the factory with you."

"No, you stay here with your mother."

Pei Ziheng walked up to Shen Mingzhu who was looking at her, and said warmly: "Mom, can I ask Aunt Hongmei to accompany you? I'll go to the factory to help Dad."

Shen Mingzhu touched his head and said, "Well, go ahead."

Pei Ziheng grabbed the back of her hand and kissed it, "Good boy, mom, I'll be back to accompany you soon."

Pei Yang: “…”

You little bastard, that's my wife!

…

When the father and son arrived at the food factory, Shen Chaobei and Lao Zhu were unloading goods.

Pei Yang rolled up his sleeves and joined in.

Pei Ziheng found Shen Hongmei and asked her to go to the hospital to help take care of Shen Mingzhu.

After that, he started wandering around the food factory. Daya thought he was playing hide-and-seek and happily followed him.

Not long after, Pei Ziheng ran out of the workshop and sprinted to the office with his short legs.

Pei Yang glanced at it twice and continued working without paying any attention.

…

Shen Mingzhu was drowsy when she suddenly heard someone calling her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Xiangnan, Qin Jinlian and Shen Jianguo had arrived.

"Sit down."

Shen Mingzhu sat up and greeted the three people.

Qin Jinlian sat down on the hospital bed, Shen Jianguo sat on a stool, and Shen Xiangnan stood.

After asking about her health and learning that she was more than two months pregnant, both Shen Jianguo and Shen Xiangnan were very happy.

Only Qin Jinlian opened her mouth to scold her, "You have been making a fuss all day long, and you didn't even know you were pregnant. Fortunately, my grandson is lucky and didn't die because of you."

Shen Mingzhu has been busy these past two days and has been trying hard to adjust her mood to take care of the baby. Listening to Qin Jinlian's chattering, her anger grew.

"You came here today just to talk nonsense, so go back now and stop annoying me."

Qin Jinlian looked at her, "You still think you're right? We all know what happened in your factory. Why did you spend so much money on apple candies? Now, people don't want your candies. You have so much candies in your hands. What are you going to do?"

"Mom, please say less. I will find a way." Shen Xiangnan advised kindly.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Qin Jinlian shouted, "What a bullshit solution she has. If she had a solution, she wouldn't be lying here. She didn't want to enjoy the good life, but had to mess up the shabby factory. She even ruined her son-in-law's stable job. Now the factory is in such a state. What will she do if she can't pay back the bank loan in the future?"

"Why did I give birth to such a stupid thing like you? Can't you learn from Bao Lan and stay at home to take care of the kids and let the man do the money-making work?"

"You've been struggling for so long, but you didn't make any money and you ended up in the hospital. How much does it cost to stay in the hospital for one day? You..."

"Ouch, that hurts."

Seeing Shen Mingzhu suddenly holding her stomach and screaming, Qin Jinlian and the Shen father and son were all frightened.

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

Shen Mingzhu pointed at Qin Jinlian weakly, "My stomach hurts when I hear her voice."

Qin Jinlian's face turned red with embarrassment, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"It hurts so much, let her out, my stomach hurts so badly!!"

Shen Mingzhu shouted and screamed, causing everyone in the ward to look at Qin Jinlian with strange eyes.

The father and son felt ashamed and had to work together to drag Qin Jinlian out of the ward.

"Mom, just wait outside. Don't go in and upset my little sister. She's pregnant now. Don't make her angry to the point of causing harm."

Shen Xiangnan spoke the truth, but to Qin Jinlian it sounded like a knife stabbing her heart.

"How can this bitch be so heartless? I gave birth to her and raised her, and she got angry when I said a few words to her. Now she has grown wings and doesn't like me anymore."

Shen Jianguo scolded: "You deserve it! What did you come to the city for? You never say anything nice when we meet, you just keep talking nonsense. Who wants to listen to you talking nonsense?"

Qin Jinlian felt very aggrieved, "I am doing this for her own good. I hope she can live a peaceful life. Since she started that factory, I haven't slept well for a single day."

"You didn't sleep well at all. Your snoring was louder than thunder at night!"

Qin Jinlian wished she had a hole to crawl into after her husband ruthlessly exposed her secrets in front of her son.

Just then, Shen Hongmei came.

Seeing three people standing outside the ward, he smiled and invited them in.

Shen Dashan and Shen Xiangnan went in, but Qin Jinlian didn't dare to go in, for fear of being chased out by Shen Mingzhu again. She could only sit alone in the corridor wiping her tears.

Why is her life so miserable? Her daughter doesn't like her, and even her husband and son are not on her side.

…

Pei Yang had just seen Old Zhu off and was closing the gate when he heard Shi Guangsheng's voice from behind him: "Director Shen, are you busy?"

Pei Ziheng was sitting at his desk in a daze. When he saw Pei Yang leading Shi Guangsheng in, a cold light flashed across his dark eyes. Then he lowered his eyes and frowned, jumped to the ground, and sensibly took Daya, who was squatting on the ground playing with glass beads, out.

Shi Guangsheng looked around the office environment, sighed a few times hypocritically, and then explained his purpose to Pei Yang.
