Chapter 29 - Dismissal

Chapter 29: DismissalTranslator: Wu YufanProofread by Liang Yaping

“She and I…” Qin Zheng was going to tell the truth. But suddenly he felt a sight staring at his back, cold and dreadful. Turning around, he found that it was his uncle Qin Zhenyang who stared at him fiercely. The eyes seemed to warn him that if he said a word wrong, or he dared to talk anything about Ji Xiaoli again, perhaps what was waiting for him was not as simple as last night’s.

Although he was resentful towards Qin Zhenyang, he was afraid of him, especially about his bloodless means. After thinking about it, he said, “I was drunken last night, so there was something wrong with me. Then I happened to see my aunt, and said a few words to her, but I didn’t have other intentions. Later, when my uncle arrived, I was beaten by two fists. However, these are photographed by those who are interested.”

It sounded that nothing was wrong. Anything could happen after being drunken, especially the excited look of Qin Zheng in the newspaper. Mr. Qin looked at him in silence. He didn’t completely believe his grandson’s words, especially when he saw the eyes contact between his grandson and his son. Things couldn’t be so simple, and there must be problem about that woman!

Qin Weiliang didn’t feel that anything was wrong, only patting his son’s head heavily. “Bastard, I have warned you for so many times that drinking can easily lead to serious troubles. Even if there is no social engagement, you should not be drunken. Fortunately, nobody in our family is politician, otherwise, this kind of thing is enough to be criticized by others! But I want to know the reason why you were drunken last night? I never see you drinking at ordinary times. Were you disappointed in a love affair?” Qin Weiliang was crazy about his work. He spent more time in the company than at home. It was rare for him to ask about his son’s feelings. His son was already 26 years old, and it was time to get married.

Qin Zheng said nothing. It was Zhang Xiue who was so indignant. The two men at home were screening the woman, who was just a rube, not very beautiful. Now even her son was lying for her! She wanted to speak ill of the woman towards the old lady, but not at this moment, or her son would be involved. She had to choose a suitable time.

Qin Zheng didn’t know what his mother was thinking about, but somehow thought of Ji Xuewei’s pregnancy, and felt that it was the time to tell his family about this by the way. Although their feelings were not completely suitable, at least it was his first child, he hoped that Ji Xuewei could give birth to a healthy son. “Mom, Dad, I’m afraid that Xuewei and I have to be engaged ahead of time. She told me the day before yesterday that she was pregnant.” Qin Zheng was really one of the pitiless people.

But for the child, he really didn’t want to be engaged to Ji Xuewei. After all, he couldn’t tolerate an unruly and scheming woman around him. Especially as for this thing, he vaguely felt that it might have something to do with her. But he knew more clearly than anybody else that engagement was not marriage. Hearing this, Zhang Xiue immediately stood up from the chair and said, “Is Xuewei pregnant? This is good news! Engagement must be advanced. She can’t have a big belly when you get married in the future.” Then she turned to Mr. Qin and the Mrs. Qin sitting on the top seats, coughed: “Dad, Mom, what do you think about this…”

“You can arrange it. Since she is Professor Ji’s daughter, she must be good.” Mr. Qin had heard of Ji Chunlin’s reputation. Moreover, Ji family was a literary family, whose previous generations were teachers, and the reputation was quite positive. Now even his grandson’s wedding was beginning to arrange, but his little son’s marriage… He looked up at his little son and said, “Are you really going to be with that woman?” Qin Zhenyang even didn’t lift his eyelids, and without any hesitation, he said, “I’ve got the license. What do you think about it?”

“Now that you’ve got the marriage license, you can get the divorce certificate! As long as you agree, there are so many better women for you to choose!” Qin Zhenyang lifted his eyebrows. “Dad, are you instigating me to divorce?”

“What is instigation! That woman is not suitable for you at all, and she is just an orphan, who can only match an ordinary man. You’re different. In the capital, any of the debutantes can match you. You don’t have to be aggrieved at all!” Mr. Qin said. This time, he called Qin Zhenyang back for another purpose, naturally, for divorce!

Qin Zhenyang sneered, “I don’t think it’s grievance for me. What’s more, you know that I never regret for what I’ve done. As for the orphan girl you mentioned, both she and Ji Xuewei are from Ji family. She is also raised by Professor Ji, and I think her temperament is much better than Ji Xuewei’s!” Zhang Xiue felt mad about his words. Because he spoke ill of her son’s fiancée, she wanted to interrupt, but her husband stopped her, “say less!”

“You mean that you’re going to be with that woman all the time in the future?” The old man’s face was sullen, and his expression at this time revealed his displeasure in his heart. The old lady took a look at her son and said, “Zhenyang, your father also cares for you. All parents expect their children to be beatific… But now you think that she’s good, what about the future? You are from the different backgrounds. Even if she marries into Qin family in the future, she can’t get involved into our life. Why do you think it will be a good thing?” The old lady knew her little son’s thoughts best, so her words were direct and deep. Qin Zhenyang was stunned by her words. He had never thought about these and he needed to go back to ask Ji Xiaoli tonight. But as for her temperament, he was afraid that she didn’t like that kind of life.

“Zhenyang?” Seeing that her son was a little absent-minded, the old lady was ready to make more efforts. Qin Zhenyang nodded and said, “Mom, I’ve understood what you said to me! But I don’t think this is the problem. If she wants to get involved into these circles, I will help her as much as I can, as long as she likes it! If she doesn’t want to do it, I won’t force her to do what she doesn’t like. In a word, I don’t think that background is the basis of marriage. You and Dad are also married out of the same background, but are you like lovers?”

Maybe a couple was more like relatives after they had been together for such a long time. Mrs. Qin’s face was stiff by his words. Her husband treated her well in these years, but no matter how good he was, she couldn’t forget the two children in the United States, which were born by her husband and another woman. Qin Zhenyang naturally didn’t want to uncover his parents’ scars. He knew when to stop, then intended to retreat: “Dad, Mom, since nothing is wrong, I’ll go back first.”

After Qin Zhenyang left, Mr. Qin went directly upstairs. And Qin Zheng didn’t discuss the engagement with his mother. He went to the company immediately with his father, but didn’t know that today Ji Xuewei was sitting upright on the chair at the office door. “What are you doing here?” Ji Xuewei stood up, walked into the office with him, and flatted her mouth, “Of course, I came to see you. I went to the hospital to have a B ultrasonic examination just now. The child is very healthy, so I came to report to you. Your assistant just stopped me from coming into. Even I’ve said that I’m your fiancee!”

Qin Zheng glanced at her, “It has nothing to do with him. It’s about company’s rules and regulations. You can call me if you need me, and don’t need to rush here. It’s harmful for the fetus.” “I know that, but I still want to share this pleasure with you.” Ji Xuewei sat on his lap, hooked his neck by hands and kissed him gently on his chin. She always knew how to arouse a man’s lust, and make him unable to refuse her. If she didn’t have any skill, she was afraid that she couldn’t snatch Qin Zheng from that bitch! Ji Xuewei thought.

Her hands were moving on his thighs. Qin Zheng was a normal man. He made a natural reaction to her touches. Looking at the woman sitting in his arms with dim eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, “hurry up!” Ji Xuewei chuckled, then put her fingers into his clothes. After a lot of technical movements, Qin Zheng released his desire. Afterwards, he gave her an expressionless look, “Go home after washing your hands. I need to read the documents. It’s not convenient for you to be here…”

Ji Xuewei said nothing, but suddenly stretching out her hand to his red and inflamed mouth, she said, “how did this happen? Ah Zheng, is what the newspaper says true? Did you really fight with Qin Zhenyang for Ji Xiaoli?” What was a fight? It was clear that he didn’t have the strength to fight back. He was beaten by Qin Zhenyang. Qin Zheng’s eyes were cold. He got up from his chair and walked away from her, “How many things in the newspaper are true? Don’t think too much about it!”

“But I saw that picture too. Do you still love her?” Ji Xuewei was good at acting. Now her eyes were red and tears were dropping down from her eyes. Qin Zheng frowned. “I’ll ask someone to send you back!” “Ah Zheng!” “You are pregnant now. Don’t worry too much all the day! And do not come to the company in the future. It was not good.” Although he thought that she would do it again, Ji Xuewei was pregnant. Or he almost queried her just now, but for the sake of the child, he didn’t say this.

Maybe he still wanted to give her a chance. At this moment, Ji Xiaoli received a call from the company’s deputy director of the Department, “Xiaoli, do you know company’s regulations? All the people in the company obey these regulations. You’re making such a big noise in public now. There is great dissatisfaction from the top towards you, especially the president. You’ve made such a big problem!”

Ji Xiaoli was working at a fashion design company, which had little influence in the field of design, but at least it had influence. The boss of the company was a successful businesswoman. She divorced her husband a few years ago because her husband betrayed her and found a mistress, and finally she especially hated the concubine. On seeing the newspaper, she immediately made this decision! Normally, Ji Xiaoli would return to work the day after tomorrow, when she finished her enjoyable vacation. But now there was such an accident, her mood was so bad. “The president is going to dismiss me?”

The deputy director smiled awkwardly: “It’s the president’s own decision, so If you have time, how about coming back in these two days and handling procedures?” Ji Xiaoli had spent her internship in the company since her senior year. She had worked hard for three years. Although her performance was not as good as those old employees’, she also had potentials! Even her design draft had ever been reused! But the word from the president just settled her way!

She gnashed her teeth in hatred, but as an employee, it was only the decision of the top to dismiss her. She took a deep breath and said calmly, “I know it. And I will go to the company these two days!”
