Chapter 244: Zhan Yanxun discovers Jiang Sui is pregnant!
"Mrs. Gu is so generous! I'm almost crying with envy. A 68-carat necklace, I'm so jealous! And a royal-style crown. She even gives away whatever she likes at auction. This level of pampering makes me feel like she's my own daughter and my son was switched at birth."
"Look at who Gu Xuanwu is. He's a figure like the King of Hell, yet he's standing by like a bodyguard protecting him."
"The only person who could get Gu Xuanwu and Gu Xunjing to be bodyguards is probably Jiang Qianhui!"
"What kind of fairytale script did Jiang Qianhui get? She just got divorced and became a discarded wife of a wealthy family, and now the Gu family is already in 'take-back' mode. It's so enviable!"
The onlookers gasped in envy; Jiang Qianhui was the center of attention.
Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan were both so angry they were itching to fight.
"Let's sit down, okay? Please sit next to me."
Li Wanyin spoke gently, holding Jiang Qianhui's hand and reluctant to let go.
Unable to refuse Li Wanyin's hospitality, Jiang Qianhui sat down next to her.
At this moment, Gu Xuanwu suddenly took the initiative to sit on the other side of Jiang Qianhui.
Gu Xunjing was completely bewildered. Shouldn't he be sitting to Jiang Qianhui's left? How did his old man beat him to it?
Seemingly sensing Gu Xunjing's doubt, Gu Xuanwu said disdainfully, "I always tell you to gain more experience in the business world, but you don't listen. With your current aura, can you even hold your own?"
Gu Xuanwu sat there with an air of dominance, and no one dared to gossip about Jiang Qianhui.
After all, Gu Xuanwu is a well-known living Yama in Country A; his aura can intimidate people even without him saying a word.
He's protecting his future daughter-in-law.
Jiang Qianhui was also a little stunned at this moment. Everything happened too fast, and she was flattered.
Li Wanyin held Jiang Qianhui's hand and said, "Suihui, don't be afraid. Xunjing's dad may look a bit fierce, but he is actually very kind and considerate to his family."
Although Gu Xuanwu is a notorious tyrant in Country A, he is also the most famous doting husband in Country A, wishing he could give Li Wanyin the best things in the world.
He was utterly unfaithful and had no connection whatsoever with infidelity. His unwavering devotion to Li Wanyin made him a breath of fresh air in high society.
At this moment, Gu Xunjing said aggrievedly, "Mom, my husband only cares about you, not me. He took my seat, where am I supposed to sit?"
"Just find a seat anywhere. Sui Sui can sit between us anyway."
Sitting like this, anyone who didn't know them would think that Jiang Qianhui was a family member, their daughter.
Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan sat on the other side of them, staring intently at them, their eyes practically spitting fire.
Zhan Group
Zhan Yanxun was handling company affairs when Qiao Weiwei brought over coffee.
"President Zhan, you should take a rest."
"You've already finished get off work, you can go home now."
Zhan Yanxun issued an expulsion order to Qiao Weiwei, who was extremely unwilling to accept it. Why wouldn't he even look at her?
Even though Jiang Qianhui is no longer here, why does he still not see her?
"President Zhan, the company has been busy lately, but I can still work..."
Before she could finish saying the word "persist," Qiao Weiwei suddenly started gagging.
She gagged for a while, then took a tissue and apologized to Zhan Yanxun, "Mr. Zhan, I'm sorry, I'm having some... morning sickness."
Qiao Weiwei felt that no one cared about her pregnancy anymore, and she should remind them, especially Zhan Yanxun.
"I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for an abortion."
Upon hearing Zhan Yanxun's words, Qiao Weiwei was instantly stunned.
Zhan Yanxun actually caused her to miscarry.
Qiao Weiwei said in a flustered voice, "President Zhan, I'm fine. I can handle the hardships of pregnancy."
“I told you to clean it up properly that day, or you’d face the consequences. You said the birth control pills were expired, but that was your own negligence. What I wanted was for it to be cleaned up properly.”
Qiao Weiwei pleaded tearfully, "President Zhan, please don't. That's your child."
"You know what happened that night. Although you didn't poison me, you brought that bowl of soup. You also know why I didn't punish you and kept you by my side, but you crossed the line."
I'll approve your leave tomorrow. If you've sorted things out, you can come back to work. Otherwise, I'll have to break my promise and give you some money to leave this place. Think it over carefully.
After Zhan Yanxun finished speaking, he stood up and left with a solemn expression.
At that moment, an image of Jiang Qianhui vomiting while receiving her divorce certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau suddenly flashed into my mind.
He somehow ended up in Jiang Qianhui's office. The new CEO was supposed to live in this office, but he didn't allow anyone to enter.
Even though I know that Jiang Qianhui won't be there if I push open this door, I still want to come and see for myself.
Suddenly, Zhan Yanxun noticed a capsule in the corner under his desk.
Is it medicine?
Those are the medicine Jiang Qianhui was taking. Did she accidentally drop them and can't find them?
Zhan Yanxun squatted down and picked up the capsule, only to see three words written on it: "Pregnancy Protection Elixir".
His pupils constricted instantly.
……
Then, the charity gala began, and the organizers presented various exhibits, including jewelry, jade, and antiques. The proceeds from the auction went to charity.
Generally, the items auctioned at charity galas are not very valuable, and no one will specifically bid on the exhibits.
Jiang Qianhui, however, came for a painting.
"This painting is a landscape scene, painted by a famous artist from the Song Dynasty. The starting bid is 100 million."
Jiang Qianhui started the bidding first, and Li Wanyin said to Jiang Qianhui, "You like it, right? Then leave it to me."
Li Wanyin immediately raised her paddle for 200 million, and several others followed suit. Jiang Qianhui wanted to raise her paddle, but Li Wanyin stopped her, saying she was afraid her arm would get tired, and told her to do it herself.
Jiang Qianhui's hands were no longer sore, but everyone else's hearts were aching terribly!
"500 million." After raising her paddle, Xie Qingyi said to Jiang Qianhui, "If you like it, I will definitely bid for it and give it to you."
Having money makes anyone, regardless of gender, very powerful.
Xie Qingyi was very unhappy to see Li Wanyin always showing off, so she went against her.
"510."
Yan Lan was stunned when Xie Qingyi made her offer. That shabby painting was worth 510 million?
"5000."
Seeing Xie Qingyi make a bid, Li Wanyin immediately offered 50 million, too lazy to compete with her, and directly crushed her with a single price.
As expected, Xie Qingyi did not follow up. She did not expect Li Wanyin to be so generous to Jiang Qianhui.
Xie Qingyi was furious, but then she heard someone whispering.
"That painting seems to be fake; the seal looks a bit off."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyi instantly became smug. She looked at Li Wanyin and said mockingly, "Spending 50 million to buy a fake painting, you're really doing charity."
At this point, the people in the arena began to whisper among themselves.
The upper class has always preferred buying expensive items and despised buying counterfeit goods. Buying a fake will make you a laughingstock in any situation, because it signifies a lack of taste and discernment.
Xie Qingyi said sarcastically, "This Jiang Qianhui is really a trap. She's already leading you into a pit right after we met."
Li Wanyin said firmly, "Whether the items are genuine or not doesn't matter, as long as it proves that the Gu family's feelings for Sui Sui are genuine."
"You have such a good attitude. So many people here are laughing at you, and you can still say these things?"
Gu Xuanwu said sternly, "Who's laughing? I didn't hear it. Tell them to laugh louder so I can hear them."
