Shi Xingcan laid on the bed stiffly, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes. However, her tensed body slowly relaxed. She was glad that Qu Zhong wouldn't be back tonight, but was afraid that Qu Zhong really wouldn't return … As he thought about it, he couldn't help but fall asleep.
Qu Zhong drove the car, and along the way, he rushed to the designated location, without enough time to find a place to park, he casually parked the car by the side of the road and rushed back to the clubhouse. When Qu Zhong entered the room, the Vice Chairman and two unfamiliar bald men were sitting opposite to each other. The atmosphere was not as harmonious as he had imagined after the good business negotiations, and the expressions on the three of their faces were somewhat subtle.
"Hello, I'm Qu Zhong." Qu Zhong took the initiative to shake hands with them, and one of the bald man stood up, extended his hand to shake hands with him, then sat down without saying a word.
Qu Zhong looked at the Vice Chairman in confusion, then sat down awkwardly. Did something happen?
"About the contract …" Seeing that no one spoke, Qu Zhong took the initiative to ask.
"Director Qu, forget about the contract." The man who did not shake hands with Qu Zhong just now replied disdainfully, "Handle your own company's finances first, otherwise, how would we dare to sign the contract with you?"
With that, the two stood up, and ignoring Qu Zhong's explanation and stopping him, they left.
Qu Zhong was dumbstruck, he did not know how the other party found out about the problems with his company. He leaned back in his chair and drank the water from the table in one gulp. Then he stared at the Deputy Chief with a questioning look.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that you want to sign the contract! "
"I didn't expect it either …" The Vice Chairman said with a sullen face, "We had already discussed this at the beginning, but when we were waiting for Director Qu to arrive, one of the men picked up a call and asked us if there was a financial flaw …"
"And you admit it?" Qu Zhong's eyes were spitting fire.
"Of course not! But I won't admit it, and they found out! " The Deputy CEO looked wronged, "I have no other choice!"
"Alright, alright, I got it!" Qu Zhong waved his hand snappily, "Let's go!"
"Director Qu …" The Deputy CEO wanted to speak but hesitated, revealing a troubled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"The account is still open …"
When Qu Zhong paid the bill, he had already started cursing and swearing, saying that he was about to sleep with a woman, but he was called out in the middle of the conversation, and then he failed to sign the contract. Even though he had no interest in sleeping with that woman.
"Eh? Where's my car? " When Qu Zhong walked out of the hotel entrance, he suddenly realized that the car that was parked on the other side of the road had disappeared.
"Uh, Director Qu …" The Deputy CEO was so frightened that she didn't dare say anything, but she braced herself and said, "This side seems to be investigating a violation of the rules. Those who were parking their cars were all dragged away …"
"F * ck!" Qu Zhong cursed. How unlucky was he tonight?
It was already the latter half of the night when he returned to the villa in the vice president's car. As he opened the door and entered, he saw Shi Xingcan sleeping soundly.
"Get up! Get up! " Qu Zhong turned on the light and suddenly pulled Shi Xingcan's blanket, grabbed her hair and pulled her up from the bed.
Shi Xingcan was sleeping soundly, just as she was about to have a nightmare, she was suddenly awoken by Qu Zhong, which scared her so much that she screamed out loud.
"Because of you! Is it because of you? "That bitch!" Qu Zhong cursed loudly, "If it wasn't for you, a jinx, how could I not have been able to sign the contract today?"
"I …" Just as Shi Xingcan came back to his senses, before he could even speak, he was once again slapped on the head by Qu Zhong.
"Scram!" Get out! "Don't let me see you!" He pushed Shi Xingcan out of the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
The sound of the door closing was like a clap of thunder in the quiet night. Shi Xingcan trembled in fear and leaned against the wall powerlessly. Qu Zhong did not succeed in signing the contract, so he vented his anger on her?
Shi Xingcan sighed, and turned to return to the guest room. Thinking about time home's arrogant attitude, Shi Xingcan shook her head with all her might, trying to drive those terrifying memories out of her mind. She laid on the bed in the guest room, eyes open, until dawn.
She was woken up by the door that Qu Zhong had slammed when he left. After lying for a while and not being able to sleep, she had no choice but to wake up, wash her face and change clothes. She was not in the mood to eat, and after sitting for a while on the sofa blankly, decided to go see her mother.
Just as he was planning to leave, the phone in the living room rang. The sudden ringing sound startled her. After all, this was Qu Zhong's house, and the person who called him might not be anyone else. Shi Xingcan hesitated for a long time before finally picking it up.
"Hello, how are you?" She spoke carefully.
"Xingcan." A familiar voice came from the other side, "I couldn't get through to you, so I called here to ask how you were doing."
Shi Xingcan held the phone tightly, but her hands still trembled uncontrollably. Qin Yanmo, this man was so persistent.
She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say. She even felt that she should not have spoken at all.
"Xingcan, are you okay?" Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, Qin Yanmo asked again.
"Don't call again." Shi Xingcan replied softly and hung up the phone.
She slumped down on the sofa, feeling weak. However, the phone rang again. Shi Xingcan did not want to answer it, but the bell kept ringing. She had no choice but to pick it up. Before she could open her mouth, a female voice came from the other side.
"Shi Xingcan?"
"Hello, I'm Shi Xingcan." Shi Xingcan anxiously answered, she thought it was Qin Yanmo who called again.
"You didn't answer for so long. Are you still sleeping?" The other party asked in a very impolite tone.
"I'm sorry …" Shi Xingcan felt that the voice was familiar, but he could not remember who it was.
"I'll be at the villa soon. Prepare to open the door for me." The man said, seeing that Shi Xingcan did not answer, he added, "Madame Qu sent me to send you something."
"Yes, yes! "Sorry for the trouble!" Shi Xingcan immediately said, she remembered that the voice belonged to the female butler from Qu Family. She anxiously scanned her surroundings, and picked up all the things that Qu Zhong had angrily thrown on the ground. Before she even had the chance to look at her bedroom, there was a knock on the door.
Shi Xingcan anxiously opened the door, and saw that Qu Zhong's mama was standing outside. Seeing her open the door, she sized her up, and upon seeing that she did not look like he had just woken up, she snorted and walked in with her head held high.
"Madame Qu called me over to give these things to you." She put several paper bags on the table. Shi Xingcan lowered his head and saw that they were all of the supplementary products, soybeans and raw milk specially prepared for pregnant women. She immediately understood what kohlrabi fructus meant and her face instantly flushed red.
"Thank you mama, thank you Madam." Shi Xingcan forced out a smile and immediately thanked him.
The mama snorted, turned around and walked into the bedroom confidently and confidently. When she pushed open the door and saw the messy pile of sheets and blankets on the bed, she felt that Shi Xingcan and Qu Zhong had slept here together.
"You don't even have a quilt?" The mama's tone was not polite at all, "You dressed up so beautifully, to the point that you don't even know how to fold the blankets at home?"
Only then did Shi Xingcan remember that she had forgotten to check Qu Zhong's room after she got up. She knew that Qu Zhong would definitely not take the initiative to fold the blanket, but she did not expect that someone would come to her house.
"You probably haven't even cooked anything yet, right?" mama turned around and went back into the kitchen, and looked around, "It's already filled with dust, how long has it been since you cooked? If you don't even cook for the young master, how are you going to be his wife? "
The mama scolded Shi Xingcan in a mother-in-law tone, as if she was here in place of him. Then, she would have to teach Shi Xingcan a lesson on behalf of him.
Shi Xingcan could only bow her head and apologize, "Sorry."
Seeing Shi Xingcan's attitude, there was no point in continuing to scold him, so she sat down on the sofa in the living room, "Guests come to our house, do you know to prepare a cup of water?"
Shi Xingcan anxiously poured water and passed it to mama, but she was directly placed it on the table.
"Shi Xingcan, it's not just one or two days since you married into the Qu Family. You also know that the master and wife are old, so you only want to hug a grandson and enjoy the happiness of being with the heavens, right?"
"Yes, I know." Shi Xingcan nodded his head.
"Since you know about it, then how could you possibly forget it? Is there something wrong with your stomach? " mama was overbearing, "You didn't take any measures did you? Young Master wants to have a child so badly, but you can't bear it? "
Shi Xingcan did not know how to reply, and could only remain silent.
Seeing that Shi Xingcan did not say anything, the mama thought that she had tacitly agreed, and her voice grew louder, "Miss Han has already given birth to a boy for Qu Family, the Madam is extremely fond of him. Even though the old master doesn't want to admit it, if you continue to refuse, the old master might let go in a few days. When that time comes, think about your identity. "
After mama finished speaking, she leaned back on the sofa and drank some water.
"mama, I understand. Please tell Madam that I will work hard." Shi Xingcan lowered his head.
mama rolled her eyes at her. She felt that she had already done enough and stood up to point at the tonic on the table. "Remember to eat on time!"
Shi Xingcan smiled and sent mama away. She did not even want to look at the supplements on the table, much less have the mood to eat them.
But mama did not come back, so Shi Xingcan was not in the mood to go out. She took out her computer and asked the Editorial Department if there were any work that needed to be done.
However, the moment she accepted the new column, she had no choice but to request a leave of leave. The editor was extremely unhappy with her, so Shi Xingcan could only persuade her to leave. Since she didn't have much work to do, she could only turn on the television to kill time. But as she watched the television, he couldn't help but hear Qu Zhong's angry curses resounding in his head.
She still had to continue looking for Qu Zhong, and even beg him to "go on" her. Thinking of this, Shi Xingcan felt a wave of disgust in his throat, but what could he do? If this month's ovulation period ended, he would have to wait until next month to have the chance to become pregnant. If this continued for another month, just as mama had said, one day he would be swept out of Qu Family's house.
She took out her phone and opened up the dialogue box with Qu Zhong, but as she repeated it again and again, she did not know what to say.
Just as she was at a loss, Qu Zhong suddenly sent her a message.
"Prepare dinner at home tonight."
