When Tang Beibei arrived home after supper, she asked Jiang Jingchen curiously, “Can Sister Du afford a million yuan in legal fees?”

Jiang Jingchen replied, “Definitely not but the Lin mother and son can afford it.”

“That Ms. Lin’s bag is a luxury item that costs more than 100,000 yuan. The clothes she’s wearing cost thousands of yuan, and her shoes aren’t cheap either.”

“Every piece of clothing on Mr. Lin is branded and he drives a Maybach that costs millions of yuan.”

Tang Beibei didn’t know much about luxury cars and bags, but since Jiang Jingchen told her that they were rich, she was even more angry that they were so stingy towards Du Huanhuan.

“We must file a lawsuit and force them to give her some of their family assets, or Sister Du would be so miserable.”

Jiang Jingchen scratched her chin and asked, “Obedient Beibei, don’t worry about other people. You promised to clean me up, right? Let’s go.”

“I, I, suddenly remembered that I still have homework to finish. I, I need to…”

Just as she was about to run, the man grabbed her by the collar.

She didn’t move more than a meter before he brought her into the bathroom.

“Let’s shower together. I’ll clean you up too.”

“No, no need, I… Mmm.”

The next day when Tang Beibei came downstairs for breakfast, Ruan Qi asked why they were home so late last night.

Tang Beibei told her what happened yesterday. Ruan Qi was so angry that she threw her chopsticks.

“F*ck, those people were real scums of the earth!”

Song Zhou picked up her chopsticks and said, “Calm down, calm down. You get angry so easily. You’ll scare our little baby.”

Ruan Qi rubbed her belly and said disdainfully, “We can’t spoil our child too much. I was just throwing a small tantrum.”

“When he’s here, he’ll get smacked if he doesn’t eat properly, doesn’t study hard or doesn’t listen to us. There are plenty of chances for him to get smacked. Why are you in such a hurry to protect him?”

The other three were speechless.

Tang Beibei quickly took a sip of her porridge. “It’s so pitiful to be your child.” “Spare the rod and spoil the child. A child who isn’t disciplined will never grow up to be successful. It’d be awful if he grew up to be an arrogant fellow who bullied girls.”

“… Ahem, Miss Ruan, don’t think too far ahead. Your child is only zero years old and hasn’t reached adulthood. He can’t bully anyone now.” Song Zhou spoke up for his child.

“Easy for you to say. He’s bullying me now. He doesn’t let me sleep or eat well.

He even let me get scolded for throwing a small tantrum.”

Ruan Qi even said to Tang Beibei, “If I give birth to a son and you to a daughter, and my son seduced your daughter but doesn’t cherish her, you are I can beat him up together!”

Tang Beibei had no words.

Song Zhou was still worried about Ruan Qi and asked Tang Beibei to take her pulse.

Tang Beibei carefully held Ruan Qi’s wrist and advised Song Zhou, “When your wife is angry, not only is her heart rate elevated, but her brain is also abnormally active. Don’t argue with her. It’s not good even if you win.”

“… Okay.”

Song Zhou could clearly feel that Ruan Qi’s temper had gotten a lot worse this month.

Ruan Qi picked up her chopsticks and looked at Song Zhou with a sigh. “Will you neglect me after I give birth?”

“Never. Our family will be livelier with a child.”

“Then, will you put our child before me?”

“… You and the child are equally important, babe.”

Song Zhou felt that her mood had changed again. He massaged his forehead and patted her back to comfort her.

Tang Beibei said that Ruan Qi’s condition was typical. Pregnant women suffer from hormonal imbalance which could lead to mood swings. That’s why many pregnant women were prone to melancholy. If not managed, it could turn into postpartum depression.

Many women committed suicide due to depression every year in China.

After Tang Beibei finished, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Jingchen.

His mother seemed to have committed suicide due to depression.

She realized that she had said the wrong thing and held the man’s hand tentatively.

Jiang Jingchen looked up at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that I’m here and you can watch over me.”

Jiang Jingchen then realized that his wife was comforting him.

He smiled and pinched her cheek.

A few days later, Yang Hao gave Jiang Jingchen some big news.

“Everything is ready. All that’s left is for you to make your grand entrance!” Jiang Jingchen locked his phone, sent his wife to school before he headed to Jiang Corporation.

When he arrived at Jiang Corporation, he got out of the car and put on a pair of glasses.

Song Zhou got out of another car and walked behind him. “Young Master, Yang Hao and Wen Sang are here.”

Jiang Jingchen smiled. “What is Wen Sang doing here?”

“I’m bored and need some entertainment.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “Then today’s show will be wonderful!” He strode into Jiang Corporation and Song Zhou tapped him in. The front desk staff saw the very handsome Jiang Jingchen in a suit and glasses and were stunned for a few seconds before they asked him if he had an appointment. He wouldn’t be allowed in if he didn’t have an appointment.

Jiang Jingchen was no longer an employee of Jiang Corporation, so he was subjected to the rules for a visitor.

Jiang Jingchen pushed his glasses up his nose and looked at the two front desk staff. They were the two women who insulted and stopped Tang Beibei from going upstairs last time.

He said to Song Zhou, “These two are fired.”

“Noted. I’ll get the HR department to contact them about their resignations later.” Song Zhou said.

“… What right do you have to fire us?”

The two front desk staff were stunned. Young Master Jiang was so imposing! Jiang Jingchen naturally didn’t owe them any explanation. He continued to walk in and Yang Hao and Wen Sang joined him in the same elevator.

Yang Hao was also in a suit. Seeing Jiang Jingchen in glasses, he also put on a pair of glasses and asked Song Zhou, “Do I look handsome?”

Song Zhou looked at him as if he was an idiot. “Mr. Chen didn’t wear glasses to look handsome. You should be more careful.”

Yang Hao was speechless.

When the elevator doors opened, Song Zhou walked out first, followed by Jiang Jingchen, who walked straight into the conference room.

There was another board meeting today.

Extraordinary board meetings had been called recently because of the need to keep the board of directors apprised of all the issues at the company.

The board meeting today hadn’t started yet.

When Jiang Minghua saw Jiang Jingchen, she looked at him with disdain.

“Didn’t you say that you’ve resigned? Let me tell you now. This isn’t a place for your make trouble. Please get out now.”

Jiang Jingchen’s eyes were shielded by his glasses so no one could see his emotions.

“I didn’t say that I’m here to make trouble. Jiang Minghua, I’m your eldest brother. You should show some respect!”

Jiang Minghua sneered in disdain. “Eldest brother, huh? I don’t need a useless brother who’s an unreasonable pester who can’t even hold down a job.” Wen Sang couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Jiang Minghua felt that she was mocking her, and her expression became even more unfriendly.

“What are you laughing at? Who are you to make noise in front of me?”

Wen Sang exclaimed, “Wow, Third Young Miss, what a short temper you have!

Is it because I didn’t pour enough tea on you the other day?”

“You! Wen Sang, get the hell out now. My Jiang Corporation doesn’t welcome you!”

Wen Sang was puzzled. “Since when did you own Jiang Corporation? Aren’t you just the interim CEO and acting chairperson?”

“You… Jiang Corporation belongs to my father, so it’s mine. I have the right to kick you out. You’re the successor of Wen Corporation, yet you are shameless enough to behave so atrociously in someone else’s territory. Don’t you have any sense of shame?”

Wen Sang crossed her arms and smiled.

“Wow, the third daughter of the Jiang family is so mighty. However, I didn’t come here today for you. I came here for your eldest brother.”

Song Zhou added, “If my young master is able to hold down his job, there’s probably nothing for you to do here, Third Young Miss.”

Yang Hao nodded with a smile. “It’s like this. Third Young Miss isn’t very capable to begin with. She’s too weak a competitor. I feel that there’s no sense of accomplishment even if we win against her.”

Song Zhou gave Yang Hao a high-five to express his concurrence..
