Chapter 337 Miss Zhou, congratulations on your pregnancy
Zhou Shuang didn't know whether she would regret giving up Qi Huaijing, but at least she was unwilling to fight for it now.
Many years ago, I saw my mother and Wen Xin fighting over my father until they were bloodied, and neither of them was the real winner.
Wen Xin has not been released from prison until now, and she will spend the rest of her life in prison. She will never have the chance to see the light of day again in this life.
Zhou Shuang knew that this was also the work of her great-grandfather, because her great-grandfather would never allow this woman to appear in front of their Zhou family again.
As for the mother, she seemed to have won everything in this love triangle, but the father became a vegetable and would never wake up again. The mother raised the three siblings alone for so many years, and Zhou Shuang didn't want to recall the hardships.
Therefore, in the competition for love, there is no absolute winner.
The examples she had seen were so tragic that when it came to her own turn, she simply didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
Lin Shu is a mother, a woman, and also a person who has been through it all, so she has some understanding of her daughter's thoughts.
Having said this, to continue would be forcing and forcing Zhou Shuang.
According to the information Lin Shu had, if Qi Huaijing was really involved with that Du Yuqian, she would not allow Zhou Shuang to follow Qi Huaijing anymore.
But the reality was not like that, and Lin Shu decided to give his son-in-law another chance.
She couldn't interfere in matters of the heart, so it was up to the young couple to resolve it.
Zhou Shuang smiled very naturally in front of Lin Shu.
"Mommy, I've grown up and am now married and an adult. You don't have to worry about me anymore. If you really want to worry about me, you should worry about Chen Yi and Chen Xuan.
Chen Yi, that bad tempered guy, doesn't even have a girlfriend yet. Xuan Xuan is so arrogant that she doesn't even like any man. I just need to learn how to be a wife and a mother in the future. What about those two kids?
Thinking of Chen Yi and Chen Xuan, Lin Shu couldn't help but sigh.
They both inherited Zhou Yanli's temperament, cold and arrogant.
Lin Shu had a headache when he was choosing Zhou Shuang's other half.
Looking across the entire Haicheng, there seemed to be no one they could look up to. If they were to choose a family, then the Zhou family would be second in Haicheng, and no one would dare to claim first place.
It’s really hard to choose.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuang accidentally went to Rongcheng and met Qi Huaijing, otherwise Lin Shu would really have to worry about her lifelong affairs.
"Okay, okay, I know you're grown up now. If you think Mommy is nagging, I won't say much. Take care of yourself, handle your own affairs well, and come to Mommy if you can't handle anything."
Zhou Shuang nodded obediently. After the mother and daughter chatted for a while, Zhou Shuang sent Lin Shu away.
She had to calm down and stop thinking about Qi Huaijing, but focus on the work at hand.
After Qi Huaijing returned to Rongcheng, he never forgot to video call Zhou Shuang every day, but she never answered.
In desperation, Qi Huaijing could only resort to the same old trick and send a text message to Zhou Shuang.
Zhou Shuang's reply was very limited. She would usually only reply one or two words, and then nothing more.
Qi Huaijing sat on the leather sofa chair in the company's office, staring at his phone in a daze.
He didn't put his phone away until someone entered the office.
"Huaijing..."
Du Yuqian wore nearly 10-centimeter high heels, and her figure swayed as she walked.
The tops of the high heels made crisp clicking sounds when they stepped on the marble floor.
Her seven-week pregnant belly is completely invisible, and the commuting outfit she wears has a completely different style from Zhou Shuang's.
One is young and bright-eyed, the other is beautiful and coquettish.
Du Yuqian's appearance had nothing to do with that of a decent woman. After she came to the company, the gossip in the company also increased.
For example, her frequent entry and exit of Qi Huaijing's office was enough to make others look at her sideways.
"Call me Mr. Qi in the company, and in private too."
Qi Huaijing's voice was cold: "Unless it's a special occasion, you are not allowed to call my name."
This is exclusive to his family.
Every time Du Yuqian called him, she would deliberately lower her voice, making it sound ambiguous and full of desire. No matter who heard it, they would think they were having an affair.
Although Qi Huaijing wanted to act, he didn't want to act too realistically in front of anyone other than Wang Jinwei.
After all, Zhou Shuang had worked in the company for some time and had a good relationship with his colleagues, which he knew.
I also know that these people will definitely gossip in front of Zhou Shuang.
Du Yuqian subconsciously shrank back when she met Qi Huaijing's eyes.
The arrogance and dominance Du Yuqian had when she came in instantly vanished. After she arrived at the company, she deliberately showed off her status and made herself known to everyone in all departments.
It's even worse than when Chen Yunna was here.
When Chen Yunna was around, everyone knew that as long as they did their job well, Vice President Chen would not do anything to them and would even give them rewards, promotions, and salary increases as appropriate.
But when Du Yuqian came, everyone felt like they were facing a great enemy, because she would attack everyone indiscriminately.
If anyone failed to complete her instructions on time, they would be immediately called to her office for a round of tea. In the worst case, they would be scolded or fired.
In fact, Qi Huaijing had heard about this matter from Wang Yu a long time ago, and he was asked to keep an eye on Du Yuqian, so Qi Huaijing was very clear about everything Du Yuqian did.
But Qi Huaijing also chose to turn a blind eye, or rather, he simply turned a blind eye and let her do whatever she wanted.
Only the rumors from others about how much Qi Huaijing doted on Du Yuqian could make Wang Jinwei's gossip group and the bloody advisers around him exaggerate Du Yuqian's role.
Qi Huaijing also knew Du Yuqian's little trick. Either take both sides, or go to Che Baoshuai.
But no matter what she planned, Qi Huaijing was the final hunter. They were just prey that was temporarily kept in the dark and was about to be hunted.
"Yes, Mr. Qi."
Qi Huaijing's cold eyes and icy tone made Du Yuqian instantly feel like an eggplant hit by frost, and her voice sounded a little listless.
"I just wanted to ask when you'd be free to go with me to my prenatal checkup?"
I told him yesterday and he flew back immediately, so Du Yuqian came to the office to find him today.
As long as two people deepen their interaction and stay together often, it is natural for their old feelings to be rekindled.
"Wait a couple of days, I have some things to deal with."
Qi Huaijing shifted his gaze to the high heels on her feet. The fact that she could still wear these shoes showed that her pregnancy was very stable.
"Secretary Wu."
After Qi Huaijing finished speaking, he pressed the hands-free button on the landline and called Secretary Wu in.
"Mr. Qi."
Secretary Wu felt a little scared when he saw Du Yuqian.
Wherever this woman was, everyone in the company was walking on thin ice, afraid that a small matter would displease her and lead to a talk-over.
Secretary Wu is the person closest to Qi Huaijing. She can best see Qi Huaijing's attitude towards other people.
Du Yuqian seemed to hold a very important position in front of President Qi. She also wished she could stay as far away from this woman as possible.
"You don't have to go to work this morning. Go to the mall and buy Supervisor Du a pair of soft shoes that fit him or her. No heels, no way."
The caution in Du Yuqian's eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a face full of surprise.
Her guess was correct. Qi Huaijing cared about her. Seeing that she was pregnant, he even asked his secretary to buy her shoes.
"Huaijing..."
Qi Huaijing gave her a cold look almost at the same time. Du Yuqian was very tactful and immediately changed her words.
"Mr. Qi, there's really no need. I think this is enough."
Secretary Wu stood by, stunned. She hadn't heard correctly, had she? What was the relationship between Mr. Qi and Du Yuqian? Was it really the rumor that they were in a relationship of support?
It was previously said that Zhou Shuang from the game department was Mrs. Qi, but she disappeared not long after she arrived, and the Human Resources Department did not have her resignation report.
Mr. Qi's image has collapsed significantly in the past two months. Initially, everyone labeled him as an abstinent CEO with high expectations, and some even speculated about whether he was attracted to men.
As a result, now it seems that everything is just a deception. He has a wife who is about to marry him, and he also has a lover outside.
He also arranged for both of them to work in the company, but the lover's arrival angered the wife and she left.
Mr. Qi spends much more on entertainment than ordinary people, but that's how the world of rich people is.
What's more, Mr. Qi is a handsome, wealthy and talented man. Which woman wouldn't rush to cling to a man like him?
"Yes, Mr. Qi."
Secretary Wu left quickly.
Du Yuqian's face was full of sweetness.
"Boss Qi, I'm going back to work."
It turned out that Qi Huaijing was worried that wearing high heels would be bad for her health when she was pregnant, so he asked someone to buy her flat shoes with soft soles.
So he was only using her to deal with Wang Jinwei on the surface, but he still cared about her very much in his heart.
When Du Yuqian walked out, she held her chest straight, her chin high, and walked with a breeze.
After she left, Qi Huaijing's eyebrows were almost tied into a knot.
Then all management were notified that women were not allowed to wear high heels in the entire company, except when going out for business activities.
He stared at the closed door, his voice low and cold.
"It's so noisy."
The sound of Du Yuqian's high heels stomping on the ground gave him a headache. Before he came, no female employee dared to wander around him like this.
Chen Yunna was tall before, and she only dared to wear high heels with a little heel.
The only person who truly made him feel charming and whose high heels made pleasant sounds was his wife Zhou Shuang.
When she put on the cheongsam he gave her and a pair of soft-soled high heels, the combination was so beautiful that it touched his heart.
Zhou Shuang perfectly portrays the elegance of a classical beauty.
He was really troubled by the way Du Yuqian was dressed today. She was wearing such strong perfume that he could smell it from five meters away.
He couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Shuang in his mind.
But no matter whether I sent a WeChat video to Zhou Shuang or called her, she didn't answer.
Qi Huaijing felt that this was not a solution and he had to find a reason to bring Zhou Shuang from Haicheng to his side. Otherwise, she would be gone for several months and no one knew what would happen.
Qi Huaijing called Zhou Shuang several times, but no one answered, so he had to give up.
Zhou Shuang has been staying in the apartment she and he share. Apart from painting, she has nothing else to do every day. Occasionally, she will call Qi Luoyan to find out about Brother Xiaoyu's recent situation.
Qi Luoyan told her that Fu Yu's injuries had almost healed. After the examination, it turned out to be nothing serious, so she felt relieved.
Ever since Qi Huaijing left, Zhou Shuang always felt sick for some reason.
At first she thought she was in a bad mood, but she was not someone who would easily indulge in sadness.
She immersed herself in painting and lived a fulfilling life every day, gradually forgetting the sadness brought by her emotional relationship with Qi Huaijing.
But even so, she felt sleepy every day, and the meals prepared by the servants at home were always eaten up by her as if she had possessed Qi Luoyan.
I eat a lot every day. I lie in bed in the morning and don’t want to get up. At noon, after eating, I can sleep until four or five in the afternoon.
After a week of this cycle, she had gained a lot of weight visibly.
Even the servants in the house said that she had become much fuller-bodied when they saw her.
"Miss, are you in a good mood recently? I see you can eat and sleep well."
The servants sent by her great-grandfather still couldn't stop calling her Madam, and she also thought it was fine to call herself Miss.
Only in Rongcheng would Uncle Liu call her Madam. It was very strange to hear that for the first time.
"Yeah, maybe I'm in a good mood."
She thought so. When she first moved to Rongcheng to escape from Haicheng, she was in a very good mood facing the new environment and the ancient beauty of the Jiangnan land of fish and rice.
"Why do I look like I'm pregnant? Miss, I'm sorry for saying this, but my niece is also like you, having just gotten married. She can eat, drink, and sleep well. Let me see if you can go to the hospital."
Zhou Shuang was quite happy at first, but after hearing what the servant said, her heart sank instantly.
It's unlikely, is she pregnant?
I went to the hospital for a checkup last time and they said it was an endocrine disorder that caused my period to be delayed. Thinking about it, it seems that my period has really not come since then.
She thought it was a physical problem and that it would be fine after adjusting for a period of time and drinking some Chinese medicine. She didn't really pay much attention to it.
"Impossible. My husband went back to Rongcheng right after I got married. How could I get pregnant so quickly?"
She would not admit it verbally because she knew in her heart that if her family knew that she was really pregnant, it would be a big trouble.
As long as she doesn't stay with Qi Huaijing and there's no sign of pregnancy, then it should be okay to delay the divorce.
It was just to disappoint Great Grandfather and the others for a while. She immediately denied it when she thought of this, but she felt very uneasy.
After waking up from her nap, she felt a little heavy, so she drove alone to the gynecology department of the largest central hospital in Haicheng to see a doctor for a check-up.
After Zhou Shuang had the ultrasound, she waited in the hospital for nearly half an hour to get the report.
"Miss Zhou, congratulations on your pregnancy."
