Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 133

Chapter 133 : The remaining partner is—Far East?

When Liang Xi Cheng approached the consultation room, Yan Liang had already finished the examination, and the attending doctor was just telling her some things to pay attention to. Basically, it was the same as before, but she has been pregnant for 3 months now, so everything is stable.

"... There may be pregnancy reactions, but it varies from person to person, so you don't need to be too nervous, just relax a little."

When Liang Xi Cheng entered, he happened to hear this sentence. When the doctor saw him coming in, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Young Master Liang, everything is fine."

Liang Xi Cheng nodded and said "thank you for the trouble" appropriately. The doctor smiled and gave a few more instructions, most of which were things pregnant women should pay attention to. Yan Liang was a little absent-minded, but Liang Xi Cheng listened very carefully.

"What's wrong? You've been a little absent-minded since the beginning." As soon as the two got in the car, Liang Xi Cheng keenly noticed that the woman next to him was a little bit off. She had been spoke less since the beginning.

"Nothing."

Yan Liang was shocked to find that her emotions were exposed too much. Liang Xi Cheng was a person who was very good at observing people's words and expressions. She quickly calmed down her chaotic thoughts. When she slowly raised her head, a flawless smile was already on the corner of her mouth, "... I'm just a little tired. Now that I'm pregnant, I obviously feel that I can eat and sleep well."

Liang Xi Cheng reached out and rubbed her black hair without suspecting anything. "Isn't it good to be able to eat or sleep? Recently, you don't have to go to the company." He paused, stretched his hand to hold her back neck, and the hot breath was on her lips, with a certain helplessness that made him unacceptable. "Yan Liang, let you marry me like this, I know that it is so unfair to you. You can rest assured that in the future, I will provide you a grand wedding, let people all over the world know that you are my wife, Liang Xi Cheng's wife. You are the best. "

"... Xi Cheng." Yan Liang hugged Liang Xi Cheng, her voice was a little hoarse, but she said word by word, "Having you by my side is enough for me, other forms are not the most important to me."

"But I want to give you the best of everything." Liang Xi Cheng stretched out his hand to rub her cheek and whispered, "Give me a little more time."

Yan Liang nodded.

No matter if it takes a little time, a period of time, or a long time, she will give it to him ...

"But we should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate today." Liang Xi Cheng let her go, fastened her seat belt, and started the engine. "Now go back to your house to get your household registration book."

Yan Liang was completely immersed in happiness before and forgot about getting the certificate. When Liang Xi Cheng said this, she realized that there was still one last step between them.

As soon as the car drove out of the hospital gate, Liang Xi Cheng's mobile phone rang again. Yan Liang saw him take it out and took a look, and then answered the phone in front of her.

It should be Guan Jiu who called. She couldn't hear clearly what Guan Jiu said on the other end of the phone, but she naturally heard Liang Xi Cheng's words clearly.

"... Didn't you say the meeting will be postponed to tomorrow? ... I have something to do now ... If you have any questions, wait until I go to the company tomorrow."

Yan Liang watched him hang up the phone and threw the phone directly on the dashboard. Although his handsome face looked calm, his heroic features were already stained with a bit of hidden hostility. Yan Liang moved her fingers, then reached out and gently pressed on the back of his hand.

When Liang Xi Cheng turned his face, the hostility between his eyebrows had disappeared, and his voice was calm, "What's wrong?"

"Xi Cheng, you go to the company first, I'll go to get the household registration book by myself."

"It's okay." Liang Xi Cheng comforted her, "They are all small matters, I'll ask Guan Jiu to deal with it, I'm worried about you going back alone."

Yan Liang insisted, "Then ask your driver to take me back to get it. I know something happened in the company. Don't let these small things delay the big things. I will be worried. In fact, you drove me all the way here today, and the phone kept ringing. I knew something must have happened. Don't make me worry, okay?"

Her voice was soft, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be a negotiating tone, but Liang Xi Cheng knew her temper.

If he insisted on going with her to get the household registration book at this time, this little woman would definitely be unhappy all the way, no matter what.

The Liang family's old guys are now taking advantage of the unfavorable situation for their Liang family, and they are all ready to make a move. Guan Jiu just called to tell him about these things.

He glanced at Yan Liang, and after a moment he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll ask the driver to come over. You have to be careful. Call me when you get there, okay?"

Yan Liang nodded.

Liang Xi Cheng looked at the worry on her face that could not be concealed. He suppressed the urge to sigh and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb, "Don't worry, these things are not what you should worry about. You just need to take care of yourself now, okay?"

Yan Liang still nodded and remained silent.

The driver came soon. Liang Xi Cheng watched Yan Liang get in the car, then he reached out and took a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it on his thin lips. He threw the lighter on the dashboard and squinted his eyes and exhaled a puff of smoke.

In a moment, a large part of the cigarette between his fingers had burned out. Liang Xi Cheng then pinched out the cigarette butt, closed the car window, and drove to Liang's mansion.

When Yan Liang arrived home, it was already afternoon, but Qin Mu Hua was not at home.

She thought her mother should be in the hospital, so she tried to call her, but the phone was turned off. Yan Liang hurried to the hospital to find Qin Mu Hua, and finally learned that Qin Mu Hua had asked for leave.

Asking for leave?

Yan Liang frowned. Her mother rarely asked for leave, and today was not a special day. She thought about it and felt something was wrong. She tried to call her again, but it was still not connected. Yan Liang returned home with a lot of things on her mind. After thinking about it, she went to her mother's room to get the household registration book, and then she prepared to go back to City A first.

When she walked to the door, she thought of her father in the back mountain again. Thinking that she hadn't visited him for a long time, she saw that it was still early, so she decided to go.

In fact, there are not many impressions of "Dad" left in Yan Liang's mind.

She only remembers that when she was a child, he liked to let her lie on his back and carry her everywhere. He liked to call her "Nan Nan" and sing a lot of nursery rhymes to her. She was too young at that time. All she could remember were the best times, but it was too long ago, and now it has become a little fuzzy.

(T/N : 囡囡 nān nān - little girl; little darling; used as a term dearment for a child or a baby; A doll)

Yan Liang walked for about 10 minutes and arrived at Bai Qi's tombstone. What surprised her was that there was a bouquet of blue roses in front of the tombstone.

She didn't remember that her mother liked this kind of gorgeous flower, and she never bought this kind of flower when she and her mother came to worship her father.

Who sent these flowers? Her father has been buried here for so many years, and it is impossible for anyone else to visit him.

When Bai Qi died, Yan Liang was only 5 years old. She was so young that she didn't even know what death was. At that time, she didn't know that Bai Qi was buried in a very cold place because Qin Mu Hua refused to mention it, so Yan Liang knew nothing. When she grew up, she gradually understood that it seemed that only she and her mother often came to her parents' graves.

Her mother told her that because her father was the only son in the family and his parents died early, he had no other relatives.

Yan Liang pulled up her pants, squatted down carefully, and took a closer look at the bouquet of flowers. The color of the petals was still very bright, and it looked more like it had just been put there not long ago. Moreover, the tombstone was also clean—Yan Liang's slender eyebrows were twisted tighter. Shouldn't it be overgrown with weeds in this season? During this period, she hadn't heard her mother mention that she had come to clean up here ...

She could conclude that someone had been here, but that person was definitely not Qin Mu Hua.

Yan Liang did not stay for long. Seeing that it was getting late, she could not figure out anything just by squatting here, so she decided to go back to City A first.

The way down the mountain was difficult to walk, and Yan Liang walked more carefully because of her pregnancy. However, halfway through the walk, she felt dizzy. The doctor had told her before that she might have mild anemia after 3 months. She was afraid that she would accidentally faint, so she had to stop. But at this moment, she heard a female voice coming from not far away—

It made her feel familiar. This voice ... seemed to be ...

Yan Liang's heart skipped a beat, and the dizzy feeling was replaced by shock. She frowned and turned around. Behind a big tree not far behind her, there was a woman standing.

Even though the leaves covered most of her body, Yan Liang still saw her face clearly.

She leaned forward slightly, holding a tissue in her hand, as if wiping the tears on her face, and holding a mobile phone in the other hand. Shee don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said. She looked very reluctant, and after a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "... I have found him. No matter what method you use, I must know clearly what happened back then."

After the woman said this, she hung up directly. Yan Liang saw that she was about to turn around, and her heart tightened. Instinctively, she wanted to avoid it, but she didn't expect that because her movements were too fast, her whole body was standing tilted, and the mountain road was uneven. She paused and realized something was wrong.

The scream was in her throat—Yan Liang bit her lips tightly and dared not make any sound, but her body tilted due to inertia. The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle, which made her sweat on her forehead. Fortunately, she had grabbed a branch beside her when she was about to fall. Although her foot was sprained, she did not fall.

The woman standing behind the big tree probably heard a small sound behind her. She looked back, but saw nothing. Occasionally, the wind blew and the rustling of leaves made her think she had heard it wrong. She paused, then turned around, looking deeply at a certain place, and after a moment, she left from another path.

Yan Liang held her breath all the time and dared not move.

When she was sure that the woman had gone far away, she gasped for breath. Her ankle hurt so much that she was covered in cold sweat. She bit her lips tightly. She couldn't bear it any longer, let alone go down the mountain. The first thing she had to do was to take out her cell phone and call the driver who was waiting for her downstairs.

***

Liang's family.

The atmosphere in the reception room was very solemn. Six men were neatly sitting on the sofas on both sides. Each of them was in his middle age, and there was an aggressive aura between their eyebrows.

"If you don't give us an explanation for this matter, we will definitely not let it go!"

The middle-aged man sitting on the right frowned, his face full of impatience, "Xi Cheng, we have always believed in your father's leadership ability, and we also believe that you are young and promising, and the Yangtze River behind will push the old wave, but now ..."

"Do you ask to be paid for it now? Or do you think that the dividends at the end of the year will be less for you?" Liang Xi Cheng sat at the top, with cold eyebrows, elegantly crossing his long legs, his slender fingers casually supporting his resolute jaw, his thumb gently stroking his index finger, his whole body exuding a natural domineering, his tone was low, but every word was full of unquestionable momentum, "Uncles, I know what you are thinking, but in fact you don't have to worry, isn't Liang's doing well now? The cooperation project with Ye's was indeed a loss, but who said that Ye's was the only one in the entire city of A who was worthy of cooperating with our Liang's? There are other companies."

"Of course, in addition to Ye's, there is also Far East!"

Another man chuckled, his tone not without sarcasm, "But Xi Cheng, as far as I know, the president of this Far East seems to have some grudges with you."

"We have never cooperated with Far East. Everyone knows that Chu Yi Sheng of Far East is a smiling tiger. He is best at hiding a knife behind his smile. Such a person is not easy to deal with!"

"If we find Far East at this time, he will definitely take advantage of us."

"These cooperation projects were originally in cooperation with Ye's. Now they are suddenly stopped. Who would be willing to take over this mess? Do you really think Chu Yi Sheng of Far East is a fool? He is so shrewd!"

Liang Xi Cheng listened calmly, narrowing his sharp black eyes slightly, scanning the people below who were discussing with saliva flying, as if he could see their inner hearts from their endless mouths—black.

These days, his good elders have been putting pressure on him every day, just to force the Liang family to change dynasties.

"I know who to cooperate with -"

Liang Xi Cheng put down his crossed long legs, and before he finished speaking, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Guan Jiu rushed in with a panic on his face—“Chairman Liang, it's not good ..."

Liang Xi Cheng saw him holding his mobile phone in one hand, and Guan Jiu, who was always calm and steady, was panicked. His heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind. He didn't think too much, and stood up and walked towards the door, "You don't have to keep an eye on those stopped projects. I will give you a satisfactory answer in 5 days."

"Wait!" Someone stood up and stopped Liang Xi Cheng. "Xi Cheng, don't say that I, as your uncle, don't protect you. Everyone knows that the business world is like a battlefield, and brothers have to settle accounts clearly. We can't follow you to do this. Since you said 5 days, then we will give you 5 days. If you still can't solve this mess after 5 days, then—how will you be responsible?"

Liang Xi Cheng pursed his lips tightly, and his steady breathing was sharp at this moment. He narrowed his eyes, and his calm voice concealed a turbulent tide, "Fourth Uncle, how do you want me to take responsibility? Give up the throne?"

"Since the leader is fine, naturally we can't let so many people go hungry, right?"

"Then Fourth Uncle, just wait and see!"

Liang Xi Cheng hooked his lips, an unfathomable arc, and the next second, he strode out of the reception room, ignoring the elders who were still inside whispering behind him, and walked to the elevator with Guan Jiu and asked, "What's the matter?"

Guan Jiu took a deep breath, and then handed the phone to Liang Xi Cheng, "... It was a call from your driver, Chairman Liang, saying that something happened and he is currently in the hospital."
