Chapter 839: I Know My Limits
“It’s been more than a month,” Mu Qiqi replied proudly.
Shen Jianchuan glanced at the two of them and finally fixed his gaze on Sheng Xiao. “Come with me…”
“Do you all want to capture Xiao Xiao for a chat?” Mu Qiqi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
However, Shen Jianchuan wasn’t planning to scold Sheng Xiao. He wanted to share the information he had gotten. “It’s good that you’re here, so I don’t have to make a trip to your place. Although these grudges have nothing to do with the Sheng family, you’re now the Shen family’s son-in-law, Qiqi’s husband, and soon to be the child’s father. There are some things that you must know.”
Sheng Xiao took the doc.u.ments from Shen Jianchuan’s hand and slowly opened it.
“Twenty years ago, when the old man was still the brigadier in the army, he carried out a special military order to escort a very important researcher to a military base three hundred miles away from Jianchuan. However, during the process, something went wrong and he was ambushed by the enemy. At that time, the Song family was a well-known entrepreneur in the area but they colluded with criminals and hid the researcher in their own home. The old man was ordered to rescue the hostages, and the Song family tried to frame him multiple times, almost taking his life.
“In the end, the old man completed his mission, but the Song family suffered heavy casualties. They were all ordinary people, but they had done extraordinary things. Therefore, the end result couldn’t be considered unjust.
“More than twenty years have pa.s.sed, and so many things have happened in Jianchuan recently. Although the Shen family has made many enemies because of the incident with Second Brother, it’s not impossible to say that they have a grudge from more than twenty years ago.
“I went to find out more. There were a total of five people in the Song family at that time. Four of them are underground in the cemetery, and one of them… is missing.
“I’m telling you all this now because I hope that you can be more vigilant. After all, Xiao Qi is pregnant now. If the enemy uses her as a target, it would be the same as strangling our throats.”
Sheng Xiao closed the file and already had plans forming in his mind.
“I know what to do.”
“Xiao Qi is pregnant. Take good care of her and don’t be like her mother.” Shen Jianchuan patted Sheng Xiao on the shoulder. “Actually, I shouldn’t be worried. Everyone can see how much you love her.”
Outside the room, Mu Qiqi was getting impatient.
She was the one who was pregnant, not Xiao Xiao. Why were all of them asking to meet him?
Just as she stretched her head out again and was about to knock on the door, the two of them finally walked out of the room.
Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes and looked at Sheng Xiao. “Scolded again? Looks like I need to go to turn the loudspeaker on and shout. I’m the one who wants this child. It has nothing to do with you.”
“How is it not related? Isn’t he the father of the child?” Shen Jianchuan glared at her. “She’s already going to be a mother, yet she’s still so willful.”
“I’ve been wronged. How am I willful?” Mu Qiqi pointed at her nose and asked. How could they even talk to her when they were all so busy talking to her husband?
“Alright, let’s go home.” Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s hand, doc.u.ments in the other hand.
The two of them walked home and Mu Qiqi could not help but let her imagination run wild. “Xiao Xiao, do all of you think that I shouldn’t have this child?”
“No one said that. You’re imagining things,” Sheng Xiao replied calmly.
“Then they…”
“If you were two years older, everyone would think that it was natural. However, since it’s already here, everyone is very happy.”
After hearing this, Mu Qiqi was finally satisfied. She was pregnant and had become more sensitive.
She was not so suspicious in the past.
“Just now, Dad told me a few things. I want to find out if it’s related to Bai Xinyi’s case. So, from tomorrow onward, I’ll announce that you’re seriously ill and need to stay at home to recuperate. This also means that you won’t be able to leave the house until the child is born.”
Hearing this, Mu Qiqi stopped in her tracks. If even Sheng Xiao felt that it was serious, then she could not be willful.
“Then… Feng Shanshan’s house. I can go there, right?”
“Try not to. If you want to make Dad and I feel at ease.”
Realizing that something big might happen, she nodded. “I know what’s important. I’ve already said that I’m not going to be a burden to you. Since you won’t let me go out, I won’t go out. I’ll just stay at home and take care of the baby in peace.”
“If there’s a chance, I’ll take you out for a walk.”
“Got it.” Mu Qiqi nodded. At a time like this, she could not do anything. “Of course, if the time is right, I still hope that you can tell me about things. I’ll also know what exactly we’re guarding against.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He just patted Mu Qiqi’s head lovingly.
When he had figured it out, he would consider telling her.
..
A whole month.
Sheng Bowen had been declared innocent, but Sheng Kai was still curled up in this tiny Changrong Electronics’ office. After he had a falling out with Gu Ziling, he never went back, and Gu Ziling never showed up.
A month ago, he had received a certain text message from someone, but at that time, he did not pay any heed to it. However, he could not deny that during the past month, his heart was often in turmoil because he did not know what choice he should make.
During the month, Jin Bo had not contacted him either, but Sheng Kai knew that Cheng Bin was working for Jin Bo. Jin Bo had even sent other helpers.
The target was… Tang Yan.
The afternoon weather was already very hot.
Sheng Kai thought that he should not meet Gu Ziling at least for the time being. He did not expect her to come directly to the company and be so aggressive.
“Sheng Kai, what a wonderful thing you’ve done!”
Gu Ziling threw the cell phone with the chat record in front of Sheng Kai.
“Why are you here again?” Sheng Kai didn’t even bother to look at her.
“I’ve always turned a blind eye to you messing around outside. Now that you’ve gotten your mistress pregnant, her people have come to find you. What do you want me to do?”
Sheng Kai did not say a word and went straight to the security guard. “Get Gu Ziling out of my office.”
“Sheng Kai! Do you still want our marriage?”
“Whoever wants it can take it,” Sheng Kai answered directly.
“You sc.u.m. Without Me, you’re nothing. How dare you have a child with another woman behind my back? How dare you give birth to a child! Sheng Kai, let me tell you, I’ll make you beg for death.”
Sheng Kai did not respond to Gu Ziling’s warning because he had long since given up.
This woman’s humiliation was endless. Right from the beginning, the two of them should not have taken their marriage seriously.
But, wasn’t it very difficult for him to impregnate a woman?
If it was true that someone was pregnant with his child, he would definitely divorce Gu Ziling and remarry.
However, when Shen Yu was still around, he had followed in his footsteps and slept around with multiple women. Which one was pregnant?
