2386 Twins
But now, although she was getting married, everything was far from what Qiao Jierou had expected. How could she accept this?
“I’m going to smoke a cigarette before the check-up.” Lin Heng left after saying this.
Qiao Jierou clenched her fists tightly. How could this be?
“Jierou.” Mrs. Lin walked toward Qiao Jierou.
“Aunt.” Qiao Jierou quickly smiled at her. Although MRs. Lin had tricked her last time, she was Lin Heng’s mother, after all. Qiao Jierou still had to show respect on the surface.
She could only hide the hatred in her heart while putting a smile on her face. Recently, she had been having to pretend even harder than usual.
Mrs. Lin took out a doc.u.ment from her bag and handed it to her. “Take a look at this and sign it.”
Qiao Jierou immediately picked it up and saw that it was a prenuptial property agreement. The a.s.sets of the two of them were listed on it, and the expenses after marriage were to be split evenly.
Her mind exploded!
She had other motives for marrying Lin Heng apart from love. The Lin family’s a.s.sets and connections in the entire Jingdu City were higher than the Qiao family’s. She would be marrying into a rich family.
However, with this agreement, this marriage was essentially useless. Marrying Lin Heng would not bring her any benefit!
There wasn’t even a wedding ceremony!
The Lin family wasn’t taking her seriously at all!
“Aunt, why are you doing this?” Qiao Jierou asked.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, “Your and Lin Heng’s careers are developing quite well now. Even so, feelings are feelings. We have to make things clear when it comes to careers. That way, we can’t prevent you two from getting too involved in things you shouldn’t and hurting each other. But regardless of this agreement, you’ll be husband and wife. You have to support each other in the future. Be it Lin Heng or our Lin family, we’ll definitely take good care of you.”
She was smiling, but her tone was very arrogant. It was very different from before.
Qiao Jierou looked at this unfamiliar face in front of her and recalled that when Mrs. Lin trampled on Qiao Weiyang previously, she had the same att.i.tude. However, at that time, Qiao Weiyang had never yielded except for maintaining politeness on the surface.
It was probably because Mrs. Lin couldn’t get things done her way with Qiao Weiyang that she liked her instead.
She now understood that Mrs. Lin merely wanted to choose a suitable daughter-in-law. She was just choosing someone who was willing to be subservient to her and was willing to sacrifice for her and her son!
What a joke. She thought she was qualified, but in the end, she was just a tool that others could throw away whenever they wanted.
To think that she had rushed over in front of them and put in so much effort, only to end up like this.
“So does Brother Heng know about this?” Qiao Jierou asked. She already had an answer in her heart, but she still wanted to lie to herself.
“He’s my son. I naturally have to ask for his permission.”
Qiao Jierou’s heart was completely broken. So that was how it was.
What had she been working for all these years?!
“Sign it,” Mrs. Lin said.
There was no emotion in her tone, and she clearly had no feelings for Qiao Jierou.
“What if I don’t sign it?”
Mrs. Lin said, “Then there’s no need to get married.”
Her heartless tone was filled with arrogance.
If it were any other time, Qiao Jierou might have refused to sign it.
But now, there was nothing she could do. The debt, the management contract, the issue of resources, her family, the plagiarism scandal… Everything was pressing down on her, leaving her with no way out.
This was the only choice she had.
She endured the humiliation and took the doc.u.ment from Mrs. Lin.
Xiao Qing, who was standing at the side, could not help but say happily, “Weiyang, did you see that?”
“I saw it,” Qiao Weiyang said helplessly. From the moment Xiao Qing came out of the examination room, she had dragged her here to watch the drama between Qiao Jierou and Mrs. Lin.
Fortunately, this location was very hidden, so Qiao Jierou and the others couldn’t see them. Otherwise, people would think that Qiao Weiyang still cared about them.
“This is too awesome! Qiao Jierou didn’t expect herself to end up like this, did she? Really, karma’s a b*tch. Back then, she s.n.a.t.c.hed Lin Heng from you. The Lin family is such a lousy family, but she still insisted. Now, there’s no wedding and no a.s.sets. The expenses will be split evenly and she even has to sign a prenuptial agreement. These are all Qiao Jierou’s blessings!”
“Let’s go.” Qiao Weiyang didn’t care what would happen to Qiao Jierou.
She did not care about anything that had nothing to do with her.
However, Xiao Qing was indeed very happy. She felt happy for Qiao Weiyang from the bottom of her heart. “They spoiled her and let her be. Look at how she’s ended up now. She rose to great heights only to collapse miserably. This is awesome! We should drink to celebrate!”
“Forget it. Tell me the results of the examination just now.”
“The doctor said that the fetus isn’t very stable. He prescribed medicine for me to take. I usually feel fine as long as I rest well. I feel that my condition is not bad. It shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Then I’ll send you back. Have a good rest when you get home.” Qiao Weiyang was still worried about her health.
“No, no, no. I’ve already told Shen Mubei that I’ll treat you and that person from your family to a meal today,” Xiao Qing said. “The table has been reserved. We can’t not go. Just treat it as a celebration for my marriage, okay?”
Seeing that she had arranged everything, Qiao Weiyang had no choice but to agree. “Okay, then promise me that you’ll have a simple meal and then go back to rest, okay?”
“Okay!” Xiao Qing took Qiao Weiyang’s arm and got into the car.
Qiao Weiyang did want to see Shen Mubei’s current att.i.tude toward Xiao Qing. Since this was a good opportunity, she did not want to waste it.
She also called Su Zhuoqian and asked him to come over for dinner.
When the two of them arrived, Shen Mubei and Su Zhuoqian had yet to arrive.
Qiao Weiyang touched her belly. “You need to remember to take care of yourself and the baby.”
“I realized that you’ve become naggy after I got pregnant,” Xiao Qing said. “Are you still the Qiao Weiyang I know?”
“Pregnant women need someone to take care of them, especially someone like you.”
“I’m fine, aren’t I? The preparations for the wedding are going well, and I have a child. I’ve gotten what I wanted. But let me tell you, when it comes to marriage, I’m really quite afraid…”
Qiao Weiyang felt her uneasiness and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a feeling. Sometimes, when I think of marriage, I feel that it’ll complete my life. But sometimes, I feel like escaping. I’d ask myself why I’m getting married so early and why did I want this child? Do you understand? Many times, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I think that it would be great if these things didn’t happen. Sometimes, I just feel afraid…”
Qiao Weiyang understood her feelings. “You’re just worried about personal gains and losses. It’s normal. Many people have premarital anxiety. You have to think about good things.”
