"Jiang Qingtang is pregnant?!"
"Jiang Qingtang's father revealed in a live broadcast that Jiang Qingtang is pregnant."
Two men got into a fight over a woman!
"The Crown Prince of the Qi family is keeping a mistress in a golden house? What the hell is this?"
"My whole family was shocked. I was only away from my phone for a short while, and the entertainment industry has already released so many scandals."
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as we can still eat, that's good enough."
Upon hearing what the two girls were saying, Qin Yue stopped choosing a photo frame, took out her phone, and opened Weibo.
The top 20 trending topics were almost entirely dominated by Jiang Qingtang.
#Jiang Qingtang is pregnant before marriage#
#Jiang Qingtang's father reveals that Jiang Qingtang is three months pregnant#
#Qin Xu Jiang Qingtang#
#Kee King-Sum, President of Wing Hang Group#
#ActionIsOutOfYourHeart#
#DragonBeardCandyCPIsCompletelyBroken#
The topic is either followed by a big "hot" or a "trending" word.
There's simply not enough time to see everything.
It was far too lively.
Qin Yue was quite surprised.
She heard that the Zhang family intended to form a marriage alliance with the Qi family.
It's most likely Miss Zhang and Qi Jingchen.
Whether it will work out or not, nobody can say for sure.
The Zhang family has businesses all over the place, involved in various fields, and is a well-known wealthy family. However, the family is rather chaotic. It is said that the old master Zhang was a womanizer when he was young, and his sons also had countless lovers and a lot of illegitimate children.
However, very few of them actually amount to anything.
Only Miss Zhang, the daughter of the third wife, is capable of managing things on her own.
If Miss Zhang marries Qi Jingchen, she will definitely become an asset to Qi Jingchen in the future, and no one will be able to shake Qi Jingchen's position in the Qi family.
Therefore, what Qin Yue wanted was for this marriage to absolutely not happen.
Many marriages between wealthy families lack genuine affection; they are driven solely by financial gain.
If Qi Jingchen is just keeping a few kept women or mistresses, Miss Zhang would probably turn a blind eye, considering that the Qi family can also bring her benefits.
But things change once you have children.
If, after she marries Qi Jingchen, rumors suddenly spread that her illegitimate child has run away, she would lose all face in the entire entertainment circle.
Qin Yue asked someone to pass on a message to Miss Zhang.
Qi Jingchen's girlfriend is three months pregnant; he hopes she will reconsider.
The online uproar is so huge, it's unlikely that this Miss Zhang was behind it.
The engagement hasn't even been finalized yet; making a scene would only offend the Qi family. Miss Zhang is a person who plans ahead; it's impossible for her to act so quickly—it's not in line with her style.
Is it really just a simple revelation by Jiang Qingtang's father, who wants to use public opinion to marry his daughter into the Qi family?
Qi Jingchen holds a significant position in the Qi family and wields considerable influence. Given the online uproar and the lack of suppression or removal of trending topics, it's unlikely to be that simple…
And who is pulling the strings behind the scenes?
However, it doesn't matter to her who it is; she's just one of the millions of onlookers.
Just sit back and watch the show.
Qin Yue put her phone away, her eyes crinkling into crescents: "After we pay, do you want to go to the supermarket again?"
Seeing that she showed no signs of sadness, Lu Yanci felt relieved and loosened his grip on the paper bag, nodding in agreement.
Qin Yue had just put her phone away when someone online added fuel to the fire.
Liu Yu, heir to the Aisen Fashion Group, a clothing and apparel company, posted a message on his company's official account to congratulate his old classmate Qi Jingchen on the birth of his son.
...
The message was received by Jiang Qingtang's agent and netizens.
She found out that one of the artists she managed was pregnant, along with other netizens.
The agent was furious but dared not speak out.
She knew Jiang Qingtang had powerful backers, but she never expected it to be the heir of the Qi family.
Now that she has been exposed for being pregnant out of wedlock, all the roles she had agreed to have fallen through, and all the business deals she was negotiating have collapsed. Jiang Qingtang's career is now half ruined.
Three months pregnant.
This means that she was not single when filming the dating reality show.
Deceiving the audience is a major red flag.
Especially her and Qin Xu's CP fans are now turning against her and abandoning her, and there's a flood of insults online.
There is no chance of things turning around unless the two of them make an official announcement immediately.
As for the two parties involved, with just one phone call from Old Master Qi, Qi Jingchen brought Jiang Qingtang home to the Qi family's old residence.
"Kneel down!" Old Master Qi looked at Qi Jingchen, whose face was covered in bruises, and showed no mercy. He tapped his cane on the marble floor and coldly reprimanded him.
Qi's mother felt sorry for her son, but her resentful gaze fell on Jiang Qingtang, who was standing to the side.
It was all because of this woman that the marriage alliance with the Zhang family fell through, and the old man even had a problem with Jingchen.
They even considered removing him from his position at the company.
A fleeting glint of schadenfreude crossed Qi Yuxi's narrow eyes. He stopped turning the ring on his hand, got up from the sofa, walked over to the old man, and whispered, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Let's hear what my cousin has to say first."
"What can you say? What else can you say? Isn't what's being said online enough?" Old Master Qi said angrily. "They say that my Qi family raised a good heir, who is messing around with an actress, getting pregnant out of wedlock, and then using the power of the Qi family to force the girl to abort the child, depriving her of her right to be a mother!"
Kneeling on the ground, Qi Jingchen defended himself: "That's not how it is..."
“What’s the use of telling me it’s not like that? Go explain to those people online. The person who said that is Ms. Jiang’s biological father, the child’s maternal grandfather! Go explain to them that the child’s maternal grandfather is lying.”
Grandpa Qi only wants one result.
After he finished scolding her, he asked Qi Jingchen how he planned to handle the situation.
If it weren't for this online incident, it wouldn't have mattered if the child had been aborted.
Now, getting rid of the child is tantamount to declaring to everyone that the Qi family is abusing its power and that no one can do anything about it.
Standing beside Qi Jingchen, Jiang Qingtang spoke up, "I will explain this to everyone..."
Qi's mother interrupted her directly, her voice sharp: "What ability do you have to explain? Or do you want your good father to say that he made it all up?"
Have you seen how people are criticizing you online? Have you cleaned up your own mess?
I think this is all a charade orchestrated by you and your father, a scheme to use the child in your womb to create negative publicity and force you into the Qi family.”
"I didn't," Jiang Qingtang argued, her eyes red.
Qi's mother was furious: "Does it matter? Your father was the one who revealed this..."
Grandpa Qi asked him what he planned to do, but Qi Jingchen remained silent, like a gourd with its mouth sawed shut.
Jiang Qingtang remained silent, biting her lower lip and her eyes red.
Old Master Qi, exhausted from his tirade, sat down on the sofa, panting heavily.
The living room fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, Qi Yuxi suggested, "I think the simplest solution is for my cousin and Miss Jiang to get married, and once the child is born safely, all the problems will be solved."
