"Okay, Mom, I'll leave it to you," Kidnapper King said.
Madam Wang bent down and grabbed one of Liu Ronghua's arms. "Come, help Mom drag her in."
Kidnapper King leaned on his walking stick and grabbed Liu Ronghua's other arm. Together with Madam Wang, they dragged Liu Ronghua in. Liu Ronghua's lower body was still on the ground. Whenever she encountered a pothole on the ground, she would hit it hard.
When she encountered the high stone threshold of the house, she would hit it even harder.
The people outside the door saw that the mother and son did not have the slightest bit of pity for the stranger. They treated the stranger like an animal and felt a little sorry for her. But still, no one said a word. They went back after watching the show.
…
Ruan Danchen was pregnant and Qi Chenglin looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He almost did not want her to go to work. Ruan Danchen felt that it was better to be more careful, but not that exaggerated.
Moreover, the doctor said that she was very healthy and that she should be active when she needed to. It was not good for her to stay at home all the time.
Therefore, Qi Chenglin asked Chu Zhaoyang for Director Li's number and called to ask again. Director Li repeatedly said that there was no problem with her going to work as long as she did not work overtime and was not too tired.
According to Ruan Danchen's usual work level, it was not too tiring.
Therefore, Qi Chenglin could only reluctantly agree for Ruan Danchen to continue working.
In the morning, Qi Youxuan stared at Ruan Danchen's belly in the car and felt very helpless. "Why is my sister growing so slowly?"
"You used to grow so slowly too." Ruan Danchen rubbed his little head. "If my belly is big now, it's not that my sister has grown up, it's that my mother has grown fat."
The little boy touched Ruan Danchen's belly and sighed. "I still want to keep watching my sister."
"Pay attention in class and don't get distracted in class." Ruan Danchen reminded him.
The car stopped at the school gate. Qi Youxuan kissed Ruan Danchen and then Ruan Danchen's belly. "Goodbye, Dad, Mom, Sister."
Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, Qi Youxuan had been talking about her sister every day. Even though it was not confirmed yet, Ruan Danchen still believed that she was pregnant with a daughter.
That was why Qi Youxuan's brainwashing ability was really strong.
When they arrived at the company, regardless of Ruan Danchen's objection, Qi Chenglin insisted on sending her to the office in person. He would only be satisfied when he saw her sitting safely in her seat.
At the door, Ruan Danchen reminded him softly, "Don't forget, it's not good to let anyone know about the first three months. Our family is fine, but we can't tell anyone. Although it's a little superstitious, since it's a tradition passed down from ancient times, it's better for us to abide by it. "
Originally, Ruan Danchen trusted Qi Chenglin's calmness, but looking at his current nervous look, anyone could see the problem on his face.
Ruan Danchen had just been diagnosed with pregnancy last week. When she came to work on Monday, Qi Chenglin even called Manager Zou out and instructed her not to let Ruan Danchen work overtime, not to give her too much work, and not to let her face the computer all the time. When it came to drawing, she only needed to fill in a few strokes, and the rest would be left to the assistant.
At that time, Manager Zou was almost in tears. He thought that Qi Chenglin felt that he wasn't doing well enough, or that he was making Mrs. General Manager tired. He thought that Mrs. General Manager was too busy and that he, as a manager, was too disrespectful.
Hence, after Qi Chenglin and Manager Zou had a heart-to-heart talk, Ruan Danchen completely had nothing to do and was bored to death every day.
Occasionally, when there was a design that needed to be drawn, Manager Zou would give it to her because he wasn't in a hurry, and she could draw a little every day.
Fortunately, Manager Zou was a man and didn't think that she was pregnant.
However, since then, Qi Chenglin would call her almost every hour. It was just that he used to call her phone, and Ruan Danchen was really annoyed by him. She complained that the radiation from the phone was so strong, but he still kept calling her and asking her to stick so close to the phone.
Hence, Qi Chenglin changed to calling the landline on her desk …
When he changed to the landline for the first time, Ruan Danchen didn't know it was him, so she picked up and said politely, "Hello, this is Qi Lin's design department."
"How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable? "Qi Chenglin's voice came from her work phone.
Ruan Danchen: "…"
"I'm fine. I promise, if I feel the slightest discomfort, I'll tell you immediately. Won't it affect your work for you to call me every hour? "Ruan Danchen asked helplessly.
"It's okay. Anyway, when I call you, I can take a break." Qi Chenglin felt that this was really a good way to get the best of both worlds. "Moreover, if you don't feel well, you won't have time to call."
"…" Ruan Danchen didn't expect his reason to be so "sufficient." If I don't have time, don't I have a room full of colleagues? "
"…" On the other end of the phone, Qi Chenglin didn't speak.
However, he didn't seem to have any intention of hanging up. Ruan Danchen had a thought in her mind, so she asked, "Don't tell me you set an alarm to ring every hour?"
Qi Chenglin: "…"
"…" Ruan Danchen always felt that his silence meant that he was guilty. "You really made up your mind?"
"Actually, I set an alarm for myself to take a break every hour. Didn't you tell me not to always sit down to work, and to remember to get up and stretch my muscles? " Qi Chenglin's low and mellow voice sounded serious, like the breeze and the bright moon, making people feel embarrassed to doubt him.
"So I walked around the office while calling you. Anyway, I had nothing to do." Qi Chenglin was really walking around the office at this moment.
"…" Ruan Danchen said weakly, "Then, I'm fine now. Are you relieved?"
"Yes." Qi Chenglin delayed for a while. "I have a meeting in a while. It'll be quite long. I can't call you in an hour."
Ruan Danchen breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm really fine. Don't worry."
It wasn't easy to persuade Qi Chenglin and hang up the phone.
Ruan Danchen continued the work that Manager Zou had given her, which wasn't urgent.
In the end, after an hour, the secretary from Qi Chenglin's secretary's office came down. It was the one who temporarily replaced the original position when Jiang Yuan wasn't around a few days ago.
"Madam, this is from the general manager."
Ruan Danchen looked at it. It was a carton of milk and all kinds of snacks.
"The general manager is afraid that you'll be hungry," the secretary said.
Just as she finished speaking, Xiao Fan also came, carrying a thermos in his hand.
"Madam, this is the bird's nest that the old madam had someone cook." Xiao Fan placed the thermos on Ruan Danchen's table.
Ruan Danchen looked at it dumbfoundedly and received a call from the old madam.
"Grandma," Ruan Danchen called.
"Xiao Fan just called me and said that he has arrived at the company. Did you receive the bird's nest?" the old madam asked.
"Yes, I did. Xiao Fan just arrived." Ruan Danchen smiled at Xiao Fan.
"Okay, remember to eat quickly. After you finish eating, take a picture of the empty bottle for me to see. I'll be relieved," the old madam said. She couldn't watch her granddaughter-in-law eat, so she thought of this idea.
"…" Ruan Danchen felt that the old madam was really quick-witted. "Okay."
"In the future, I'll have Xiao Fan send you the bird's nest every day. Don't just focus on work and ignore your health. Work is so tiring. You need to properly nourish yourself, "the old madam said. She felt that it was good for her granddaughter-in-law to just sit in the company and enjoy the leisure.
"Grandma, you don't have to send it every day." Ruan Danchen suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"How can we do that? There's no one in your family. Of course, we have to take good care of you. We can't let you suffer," the old madam said seriously.
The old madam felt that they now had to shoulder the responsibility of Ruan Danchen's family. In the end, the thoughts of the in-laws and the in-laws were different. They all had good intentions, but there was still a difference in their attitudes toward their daughters-in-law and daughters. Most mothers-in-law prioritized their children. They didn't have bad intentions, but they also neglected their daughters-in-law.
The old madam felt that she had to learn from this, especially since Ruan Danchen only had them now. She had to see Ruan Danchen as her own granddaughter and not as her granddaughter-in-law. That way, she could take care of her wholeheartedly.
Hearing the old madam's words, Ruan Danchen smiled warmly and didn't refuse anymore. Although it was a little too much for her to eat and she decided to give some to Qi Chenglin later, she couldn't waste the old madam's good intentions.
Xiao Fan hadn't left yet. Xiao Yang also came over. She saw that he was carrying a big bag in his hand.
Ruan Danchen's eyes widened. She was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything.
Xiao Yang looked at the secretary and Xiao Fan and smiled embarrassedly. "This is the bird's nest that Second Madam asked me to send. She said that she bought one for you and Miss Qi yesterday and asked me to bring it over."
Ruan Danchen accepted it, so Xiao Fan and Xiao Yang left.
She asked the secretary, "Is your general manager in a meeting now?"
"Not yet. It will be in half an hour," the secretary said with a smile.
Ruan Danchen nodded and went up with the secretary with the bird's nest.
When Jiang Yuan saw Ruan Danchen coming over, he immediately showed a happy expression, which startled Ruan Danchen. She looked around and found that there was no one else.
This was the first time that Jiang Yuan had shown such a happy expression when he saw her. He was even moved.
Jiang Yuan had always been steady and magnanimous. He was especially trustworthy. As long as you saw him, you would feel that there was nothing that he couldn't do. Just standing there would give you a sense of confidence.
Such a person was now smiling at her like a blooming flower, as if he had seen his savior. This made Ruan Danchen's heart a little uneasy.
"Special Assistant Jiang, what's wrong?" Ruan Danchen asked strangely and looked around at Jiang Yuan.
"Hurry up and go in. A little fairy is chasing after us." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This time, this little fairy even brought a backer. The general manager didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you. He wanted to solve it himself. "
However, Jiang Yuan felt that it was more appropriate and straightforward for a woman to solve the matter. Sometimes, it was really not good for a man to do it!
Ruan Danchen: "…"
Why didn't she know that Special Assistant Jiang had the potential to settle down and guard the house?
Ruan Danchen coughed and nodded. She was about to knock on the door when she was stopped by Jiang Yuan again.
Ruan Danchen glanced at Jiang Yuan, which meant, "Didn't you tell me to hurry up and go in? Why are you stopping me now? "
"Why are you knocking on the door? It seems like you're so distant from the general manager. The general manager said that you don't even need to knock on the door. No matter what he's doing, just go in directly, "Jiang Yuan said with a smile. His smile was not big, but his eyes were curved.
He had to let the little vixen inside know that the relationship between the general manager and the general manager's wife was so good, and that the general manager's wife was so powerful.
Ruan Danchen looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile and patted his shoulder. "I didn't expect Special Assistant Jiang to be a friend of women."
"…" Jiang Yuan was choked by Ruan Danchen.
Friend of women? How was this name nice?
Seeing Jiang Yuan's depressed look, Ruan Danchen found it funny and patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder again. She felt that a man who was usually so steady and self-restrained, once he started to joke, it was really unbearable. He would lose all his image.
In the past, Ruan Danchen only respected Jiang Yuan, but she was never too close to him. She felt that Jiang Yuan's temperament was still relatively high. But now, looking at Jiang Yuan's conflicted look, she suddenly felt that this man was really interesting. He even dared to joke with her.
Ruan Danchen listened to Jiang Yuan's suggestion and directly opened the door and went in. She saw two women sitting opposite Qi Chenglin, their backs facing her.
She could also see that one of the two women was older and the other was younger. When she came in, because they did not know, the older woman was still talking. Her voice sounded quite familiar, but she could not remember it at the moment.
Qi Chenglin was facing the door. He was obviously a little impatient. When he saw Ruan Danchen suddenly come in, he could not hide the surprise on his face. "How did you know to come over?"
In the past, he had to call her to let her come up reluctantly. There were not many times when she took the initiative to come up. Most of the time, it was because she had something to do.
Zhao Fengchun was talking to Qi Chenglin. Qi Chenglin had been expressionless the whole time, as if it went in one ear and out the other. He did not even respond to her. If it were not for the fact that she was Guan Liya's childhood friend, Qi Chenglin would not even let the mother and daughter enter the door for Guan Liya's sake.
But even so, Zhao Fengchun still spoke unyieldingly. The office was filled with Zhao Fengchun's voice, and there was actually no awkward silence.
However, the man who had been looking terrible suddenly raised his head and looked at the door happily. The change was so big that Zhao Fengchun was shocked.
When Zhao Fengchun heard the door open, she thought to herself, Who was so unruly? They were talking inside, and yet they came in without knocking.
She turned around and saw that it was Ruan Danchen who came in with a thermos flask. Zhao Fengchun frowned. She saw that Ruan Danchen was wearing a professional attire, but she was wearing flat shoes. It did not match well, but it looked like she was working for Qi Chenglin. It did not seem like she came from outside just to see Qi Chenglin.
Living in Italy for many years, she did not know much about Ruan Danchen. Even though there was a huge uproar on the Internet, it was before she came back. She did not have any grudges with Ruan Danchen, so naturally, she would not go out of her way to investigate Ruan Danchen's past. Therefore, she knew nothing about Ruan Danchen.
Now that she saw Ruan Danchen like this, she guessed that she might have come to work for Qi Lin. She could not help but look down on her. Wasn't she completely relying on Qi Chenglin and relying on men?
Even her job was given by her in-laws. If word got out, she would be a laughing stock.
Moreover, how bad would it be for her to work here?
She came up to Qi Chenglin casually and did not distinguish between work and work. She came in without even knocking on the door. What would Qi Chenglin's subordinates think?
Wouldn't she ruin the Qi family's reputation? They would think that the Qi family only engaged in nepotism and did not care about ability. If Qi Chenglin allowed his wife to do whatever she wanted in the company, what prestige would he have left?
Zhao Fengchun did not show it on her face and silently sized up Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen was a little surprised to see that it was the mother and daughter. Then, she thought of the little vixen and backer that Jiang Yuan had mentioned just now and immediately laughed.
She could not help but smile. Only then did she realize that it was a little inappropriate for her to smile like that. She quickly corrected her expression and maintained a dignified and generous smile. She called out, "Mrs. Wu, Miss Wu."
"Hehe, Chenglin's wife, what a coincidence. You're here too?" Zhao Fengchun did not get up. She only raised her head and smiled at Ruan Danchen.
She asked this question to test whether Ruan Danchen really worked in this company and why she came here when she had nothing to do.
Zhao Fengchun maintained his smile, but he curled his lips in his heart.
Ruan Danchen smiled. "Yes, I didn't expect Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu to be here too."
Zhao Fengchun's smile froze for a moment. He felt that Ruan Danchen was not good at chatting. Wouldn't ordinary people answer her question?
Who would throw the question back at her like this!
"What are you holding?" Qi Chenglin saw the thermos in her hand.
Ruan Danchen walked over. She did not pretend to ask if she had disturbed them. Anyway, she had come to disturb them.
"Just now, Grandma asked Xiao Fan to send me some bird's nest. I can't drink it alone, so I wanted to come and drink it with you. I asked your secretary just now. You have a meeting in half an hour, so I came up. " Ruan Danchen put the thermos on the table. "Anyway, you have to call me every hour. I might as well come up and take a look at you personally so that you can rest assured."
Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin looked at Ruan Danchen in surprise. Did Qi Chenglin really call her every hour? Did Qi Chenglin think so highly of her?
Even the old lady of the Qi family had rushed the driver to deliver the bird's nest to Ruan Danchen.
She was here to work, not to eat people. Did the old lady have to do this?
Qi Chenglin was worried that Ruan Danchen was pregnant and could not stand for a long time. However, Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin were sitting opposite him. If these two people were not there, he would definitely accompany Ruan Danchen to sit on the sofa.
However, the two people opposite him did not know what was good for them. Ruan Danchen was already here, but they still refused to leave. They let Ruan Danchen stand there, but they were at ease sitting there.
Qi Chenglin's face turned cold. He snorted at the two people in his heart. His originally cold expression immediately became gentle when he faced Ruan Danchen. The speed at which his face changed made Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin's expressions not good.
"Don't stand here." Qi Chenglin stood up. He held Ruan Danchen's hand in one hand and the thermos in the other. He led her to the sofa and sat down.
Ruan Danchen did not need to do anything. Qi Chenglin pretended that Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin were not there. He opened the bottle cap. The bottle cap could also be used as a small bowl. He filled a bowl for Ruan Danchen. "You drink first. I'll drink the rest if you can't finish it."
Ruan Danchen did not greet Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin. In fact, she did not want to say anything to them when she came in.
She understood Wu Qiaoyin's thoughts. Even You Xuan could see it. She felt that Zhao Fengchun was a smart person. It was impossible for him not to see it.
Wu Qiaoyin's behavior was so obvious, but Zhao Fengchun still brought his daughter here. She was not a good person.
However, she did not need to say anything to Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin. Qi Chenglin's attitude was already embarrassing to them.
Ruan Danchen smiled and agreed. She picked up the spoon and drank it.
Qi Chenglin looked up at Zhao Fengchun with a calm expression. He did not even look at Wu Qiaoyin. "I won't waste your time and keep you."
