After that, Chen Qianqian sat on the sofa, and Jiang Wanhe knelt on the floor in front of the sofa.

Grandpa Jiang directly said, “Get married! Get married immediately!” His great-grandson wouldn’t be able to bear the reputation of being an illegitimate child.

Li Shenglan nodded. “Qianqian, where is your home? What is your parents’s contact information? Auntie—no, Mom will call your parents and visit tomorrow in person to discuss marriage.”

Chen Qianqian lowered her voice. “My parents are gone, and I’ve lived with my aunt since I was a child. My aunt’s family immigrated a few months ago, and I was left behind.” She’d been left behind again, so she went to the bar to get drunk. The result was that such a thing had happened.

The Jiang family members looked at each other. They probably knew why Chen Qianqian hadn’t aborted the child. Most likely, the biggest reason was that she was really reluctant!

Grandpa Jiang said, “That’s even simpler. Go get the certificate tomorrow. The wedding is on our shoulders. You can take care of your pregnancy without worrying about it; we’ll pay the dowry, and we’ll also give the dowry that we should give.”

Chen Qianqian heard the words and raised her head. “Don’t you dislike me? I thought you would dislike me, as someone who nobody wants.”

“How could it be! Mom likes you more than that! Then, it’s decided. Go, Mom will take you upstairs to rest. Huairou, your sister-in-law is about your size, so let your sister-in-law wear the clothes that I prepared for you. Tomorrow, your aunt will buy new ones for you and your sister-in-law!” Li Shenglan remembered.

“That’s okay. It’s fine if my sister-in-law doesn’t dislike it!” Li Huairou said with a smile.

“No, no,” Chen Qianqian said quickly.

Li Shenglan said with a smile, “This is Huairou, my niece, who is about the same age as you. She has a good personality, so you can definitely talk to each other.”

Then she looked at Jiang Wanhe. “Jiang Wanhe, kneel down for me and reflect!”

Then Jiang Wanhe was bombarded many times by his grandfather, father, and brother, and the noise made him faint.

Li Huairou had had enough of the excitement, and she went upstairs. After a while, Jiang Wanhe’s room had changed—the sheets and covers were changed to pink ones, the wardrobe was opened, and Jiang Wanhe’s clothes were pushed aside to make room for the future mistress of the house.

Li Shenglan was calling the hospital to make an appointment for tomorrow’s examination. Seeing Li Huairou’s coming in, she hung up the phone. “Huairou, do you think this house should be redecorated? Ah. I don’t know if Qianqian will like it or not.”

“Aunt, sister-in-law is pregnant, No matter how good the decoration materials are, they’ll always have a smell, which is not good for the baby. I think the top priority is to turn my second brother’s game room next door into a baby room!” Li Huairou said with a smile.

Li Shenglan nodded. “Huairou is still smart! Just do it!”

The two were talking when Chen Qianqian came out of the bathroom, and when she saw Li Shenglan and Li Huairou, she bowed her head in embarrassment.

Li Huairou said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, come and sit down. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”

Li Shenglan immediately looked at Chen Qianqian with concern.

Although she was embarrassed, Chen Qianqian lowered her head. She was really hungry.

Li Shenglan knew at a glance. “You have a good rest first, and I’ll have the housekeeper cook for you. It’ll be ready soon!”

Li Huairou took a bag of nuts, opened it, and peeled the nuts inside. “Sister-in-law. Eat some nuts to pad your stomach first.”

“I’ll do it myself, I’ll do it myself.” Chen Qianqian was a little nervous.

“Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous—we’re all a family. My brother is actually a good person. He’s responsible, honest, and steady, although sometimes a bit stupid.” Li Huairou racked her brains to praise Jiang Wanhe.

Chen Qianqian actually disagreed. What kind of good person would go to a place like a bar and have a one-night stand? But he had a sense of responsibility, she would admit. She was reluctant to abort the child, but she didn’t want the child to be born without a father. In fact, when she found Jiang Wanhe, she was very nervous. She was afraid that Jiang Wanhe wouldn’t admit it or wouldn’t want the child. She hadn’t expected Jiang Wanhe to accept her and the child so readily.

“Sister-in-law, I promise you! My brother seldom goes to bars. Because I usually hang out with him, my family is very strict, and he was afraid that I’d be spoiled, so my brother seldom goes. That day, he probably went because he was in a bad mood. Who would have thought that this would happen? This is fate!” Li Huairou said with a smile.

Chen Qianqian laughed. “Thank you, you have such a good personality! The people around you must love you very much!”

“They’ll love their sister-in-law. I’ll love you as well, but only if, sister-in-law, you love me too,” Li Huairou said with a grin.

She didn’t know what was going on, but Chen Qianqian’s nervousness gradually disappeared when she said this. She looked at Li Huairou seriously, as if to comfort and assure herself. “I will!”

While talking, Li Shenglan came in with a bowl of egg noodles. “I don’t know what you can and can’t eat, so here are some simple beef noodles. I made an appointment with the hospital and a nutritionist for you. The nutritionist will formulate a recipe based on your physique, so let’s eat something simple today!”

Chen Qianqian took the noodles. “Thank you.”

“Eat it quickly, and there’s fruit too. What kind of fruit do you like to eat? Do you eat strawberries?” Li Shenglan asked.

“Bring them all up. This is my sister-in-law’s first day here, so she wouldn’t dare to say it. Also, Aunt, prepare more milk, nuts, bread, etc. in the room. Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, she must get hungry easily. She can eat it if she’s hungry—it’ll save her from running back and forth,” Li Huairou said.

Li Shenglan smiled and said, “Our family’s Huairou is really clever. You’re right, I’ll get them right away.”

“By the way, Aunt, there’s one more thing. Where will my brother sleep at night? My sister-in-law is here and pregnant, so she must not be used to being squeezed in with my brother.” Li Huairou saw Chen Qianqian’s embarrassment and took care of all the problems for her.

“Let your brother sleep in the guest room,” Li Shenglan said.

Li Huairou could clearly see that Chen Qianqian was relieved.

“But my sister-in-law is in the early stages of pregnancy now, so it’s okay to sleep alone. In the later stages of pregnancy, she can’t be without someone at her side. At that time, let’s have my brother sleep on the floor!” Li Huairou said.

Li Shenglan was also a good person. Naturally, she could see Chen Qianqian’s thoughts. She smiled and glanced at Li Huairou. “Okay, I shall listen to you.” Huairou was so smart and kind. She was much better than those girls with hearts full of schemes. This daughter-in-law seemed to have a good temperament; a child who could get along with Huairou would definitely not be too bad.

It seemed that she still had a daughter-in-law relationship.

Li Shenglan was busy with happy events, but she was very happy.

A month later, Jiang Wanhe and Chen Qianqian held their wedding ceremony.

But Li Huairou received a call from Luo Qingqing. “Hello?”

Luo Qingqing looked a little embarrassed at Wang Di and Jiang Xue, who were next to her. She’d learned about Jiang Wanhe’s marriage from someone else. Once, they were good friends, and now it had become like this.

“I heard that Jiang Wanhe got married? Help me and Wang Di to say congratulations to your brother!”

“Okay! How are you doing recently?” Li Huairou asked smoothly.

Luo Qingqing was silent. How was she? It was neither good nor bad.

“Just like that! How about you, how have you been recently?”

“Pretty good!” Li Huairou said with a smile.

Luo Qingqing thought of Li Huairou’s character; yes, how could she be bad?

After saying a few words, Luo Qingqing hung up the phone.

Wang Di immediately asked, “Jiang Wanhe really is getting married today?”

Luo Qingqing nodded.

Jiang Xue’s expression was a little unsightly. Wang Di’s expression became ugly when he saw it.

Luo Qingqing pretended not to see the mood swings between the two of them. She sneered and picked up her bag. “I’m not feeling well. I’ll go back first, so the both of you can go to the movies!” Not surprisingly, Luo Qingqing saw a light flash in Jiang Xue’s eyes after hearing this.

They’d clearly bought four tickets, but when the movie was about to start, Jiang Xue’s boyfriend didn’t come. They thought she didn’t know anything, but, in fact, she knew everything. In this case, she would fulfill them!

“Why are you not feeling well? Let me accompany you to the hospital!” Wang Di said immediately.

“No need. I’ll just go back to sleep?” Luo Qingqing said expressionlessly. She’d also wanted to give Wang Di another chance. After all, after so many years of love, she couldn’t bear it. In her most difficult and uneasy years, Wang Di’s love had given her courage and motivation to live.

But Wang Di was too greedy; he couldn’t bear her, nor did he want to give up Jiang Xue. To think of Empress E and Nu Ying, he must be a saint like Emperor Shun!

[Empress E and Nu Ying were the daughters of Emperor Yao, who were betrothed to Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun was a legendary leader of ancient China]

After Luo Qingqing left, she didn’t leave immediately, instead standing not far away and looking at Wang Di and Jiang Xue.

She looked at Jiang Xue and didn’t know what to say. Wang Di immediately became happy, and the two went to the cinema while chatting and laughing. Obviously, there was no intimate behavior between the two, but they made people feel ambiguous at first glance.

Luo Qingqing knew that she had lost.

She stood there for a while, then wiped her tears and took out her cellphone. “Mom, I’d like to go abroad with you.” Her younger brother couldn’t study, and her parents were going to send her brother to study abroad. However, her younger brother was too young, and her mother was worried and intended to accompany him. Her grandma was gone, and her father was busy with business and had no time to take care of her, so her mother had hoped that Luo Qingqing would go abroad with her. They’d even got in touch with the school?

She’d been hesitating before on whether to go.

But now, she thought that she had nothing to hesitate for.

Before Luo Qingqing left, she canceled her own SIM card, and she also canceled her accounts on WeChat and all social networking sites related to Wang Di.

She wrote a letter to Wang Di—a thick one. She thought that when Wang Di saw this letter, he would probably understand why she’d left without saying goodbye.

Before receiving the letter from Luo Qingqing, Wang Di didn’t realize that she was gone. He participated in a debate competition with Jiang Xue, went to another city, and had been training in seclusion these days. He sent a WeChat message to Luo Qingqing, but she didn’t reply, and he didn’t care.

On the day they came back, his friends organized a celebration party for them to celebrate winning first place.

Wang Di called Luo Qingqing to announce the good news, and he found that the phone could not be reached. Then, Wang Di received the letter.

After reading the letter, Wang Di rushed out like a crazy person. The papers were scattered all over the place, and the people around them couldn’t help being curious and picking them up to take a look.

When Jiang Xue came in, she found that others were looking at her in the wrong way.

Then she also saw the letter on the table. She grabbed it and instantly understood everything.

Although she didn’t want to, she had still become the kind of person she hated the most.
