On the wedding day, she married her ex-boyfriend's brother while pregnant

Chapter 140 Distance creates beauty

On the other side of the video, Meng Zixi was poking his salad with a fork out of boredom.

"This group of newly hired designers is hard to lead. I'm so angry that I don't have the mood to eat."

It was rare to see a friend who was full of energy looking so depressed. Jiang Qianxun suppressed the inexplicable unhappiness that came from other factors in her heart and asked.

"You've always been very good at judging people. The new designers shouldn't be too bad. We personally checked the old ones when we formed the design team. They all have good character and ability. How come they're like a pile of loose sand now?"

"They just refused to obey my orders. Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's talk about what happened last night. I asked the people under my command to revise the design draft, but they didn't listen at all and made random changes. When I asked them about it, they made up a bunch of nonsense. I was so angry that I was almost sent to the hospital for oxygen!"

"So, Teacher Meng should eat breakfast properly, otherwise they will make you faint and you won't even have the energy to breathe oxygen."

Before Jiang Qianxun could say anything, a slender hand suddenly appeared on the other party's video screen and pushed a sandwich in front of Meng Zixi.

Then, a handsome face appeared in the video screen.

The man had handsome features, and was wearing a slim black suit with a long plaid scarf around his neck. He sat down next to Meng Zixi, with his gentle eyes and brows, looking elegant and calm.

"Right? Xun."

She is the only one in the entire team who doesn't call herself the boss but calls her A Xun.

"Brother Zheng? Long time no see."

Brother Zheng, whose full name is Chen Zheng, is a top student in the Design College. He is four years older than her. Although he is still an overseas student, he joined the design team she formed two years ago and is one of the core members of her team. She was able to return to China with peace of mind because of him.

They were all funded by the mysterious man, formed a team and started a business together, and got along like a family.

"Long time no see, Ah Xun, I hope you still remember me." Chen Zheng put the food bowl on the table and was not in a hurry to eat. His peach blossom eyes fell on her: "The bottom of your eyes are dark, and I can tell at a glance that you don't sleep well. Ah Xun, are you tired from working after returning to China?"

With someone caring and greeting her, Jiang Qianxun's fatigue instantly eased a lot. She leaned against the bed with her phone in her hand, her eyes sparkling, "It's good. Brother Zheng, are you free to come to the studio today? Are you busy with your studies?"

"I've almost finished my graduation project, so I came to check it out. Ah Xun, you won't blame me for multitasking and not pay me at the end of the month, right?"

Meng Zixi saw the two people talking and laughing, picked up the sandwich next to him and took a bite, with the word "melon eater" clearly written on his face.

Jiang Qianxun smiled: "Brother Zheng is doing two things at once, and he has such good control over the details of the entertainment city design. I wish I could pay you double your salary."

Speaking of salary, Meng Zixi couldn't help but interject: "Don't blame me for ruining the atmosphere. Apart from the money made by the entertainment city, the later projects are not very profitable. If you want to pay Brother Zheng double the salary, you can only pay for it out of your own pocket."

Jiang Qianxun raised an eyebrow and laughed at her for being stingy.

Chen Zheng drank his coffee elegantly, and looked at Jiang Qianxun with a gradually deepening gaze: "Instead of letting Ah Xun pay for it, why don't I return to my country and join Ah Xun?"

Return to her country?

Jiang Qianxun lowered his head and thought about this possibility.

Indeed, the current economic environment is basically moving eastward, and it is a good choice for Chen Zheng to return to China. Secondly, the Huai County project she is in charge of also needs manpower. She would feel at ease to arrange for the capable Chen Zheng to join the Huawen Group to look after it for her. As for the treatment, Chen Zheng is her own person, and she would not let him down.

"Okay. I need you."

On the other end of the video, Chen Zheng smiled and felt that today's sugar-free black coffee was slightly sweet.

The studio is across the room.

Listening to the faint voices coming from the opposite room, Xing Mingyu's work efficiency dropped significantly. After processing several documents, he turned off the computer, lit the cigarette he had taken out when getting off the car, and went to the balcony. He put his left leg on the ground, bent his right leg, and sat on the balcony with his body upright, puffing out smoke.

The wind blew in from the balcony, and he was choked by the smoke. He rested his forehead on his bent knees and coughed twice, but soon his back was straightened again, and his tired and bloodshot eyes looked at the night scene in the distance.

Behind him, his slender figure was cast on the balcony by the street lights in the courtyard, looking a little lonely.

Jiang Qianxun had just hung up the video when she heard a cough coming from the next room. The smile on her face froze slightly, and she instantly gave up the idea of ​​going downstairs to get some water. She endured it, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

However, she had the habit of drinking water before going to bed, and she couldn't fall asleep without water.

My mind started to wander, sometimes it was about Huang Xiaoxiao and Wei Conglin, and sometimes it was about the two coughs.

Is he sick?

She turned over and was shocked to find that she was thinking about that man again. She quickly shook her head and forced herself to stop thinking about him. Thinking about Meng Zixi, she must be angry with the team members again.

And Brother Zheng, it's great that he can come back...

As for the friends who received the aid together, they must be thinking about how to make money and try their best to climb out of the lowest level of society. What's the use of love? Love is not as reliable as RMB...

As she thought about it, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon she fell asleep.

The next morning, Jiang Qianxun was woken up by a WeChat video call. She touched her phone and saw that it was Qin Chuan calling.

Why is this scumbag still haunting us?

She was sleepy during pregnancy and was somewhat unhappy about being suddenly disturbed, so she hung up and continued to sleep.

After a while, the WeChat notification sound came from the phone again. Jiang Qianxun thought it was Qin Chuan again. She was so angry that she took the phone and prepared to block him, but found that it was from Meng Zixi.

Or seven or eight short videos in a row.

She turned her anger into joy and opened the videos one by one.

"Boss! You are so mean. You decided to return to China for long-term development without even asking us to come with you!"

"Without the boss, the team has no soul and is a pile of loose sand. We also want to go back with Brother Zheng. You can't just accept Brother Zheng and not us!"

"Oh, what do you want to take me in? I'm so old and still need someone to take care of me. Boss, look at me. I'm different from them. I'm not going back to cause you trouble. I'm going back to protect the best boss in the world!"

......

Jiang Qianxun opened the videos one by one and looked at the familiar faces in the videos. The depression she had felt in the past two days suddenly disappeared. Instead, her nose began to feel sore and her eyes became hot.

Yes, what was she thinking about? She had finally come out of the countryside, not to be sentimental here today, she wanted to achieve her life goals through her own efforts, so as to live up to the mysterious person who funded them in the first place.

She rubbed her nose with her hand, held back her tears, and typed a reply.

[Okay, I'll wait for you to come back.]

Just as I finished replying, there was a knock on the door, "Knock knock knock", and Aunt Lan's voice came from outside.

"Miss, are you up yet?"

Jiang Qianxun glanced at Meng Zixi's reply of OK and hug emoticon, held back the tears in her eyes, stood up and went to open the door: "I'm coming."

Aunt Lan opened the door and was stunned when she saw her little girl's bright and lively eyes.

Is she feeling better?

But when Mr. Xing went out this morning, his face was still as cold as ice. It is very likely that he has not yet reconciled with the eldest lady.

She doesn't understand.

But no matter what, a good mood is better than a bad mood. After all, the eldest lady is pregnant with two babies.

Aunt Lan didn't think any more and went in to help her put on her coat.

Jiang Qianxun was still standing at the door. When she looked up, she saw that the door opposite was wide open. In addition to a desk and a bed, the most conspicuous thing was the ashtray full of cigarette butts.

"Miss, breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat downstairs or in your room?" Aunt Lan buttoned the last button and looked up to ask her.

Jiang Qianxun pulled back her thoughts and said bluntly, "Is President Xing downstairs? I don't want to run into him. I don't know why, but I feel unhappy when I see him."

Since you have decided to focus on your career, you don't have to care too much about some things. Just say whatever you think. Aunt Lan is not an outsider anyway.

When Aunt Lan heard her little girl ask this, she was stunned for a moment, feeling mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

Sadly, it seems that Mr. Xing did not intend not to come back that night...

What made her happy was that she was not mistaken just now. The young lady was not only in a better mood, but also seemed to have let it go?

Yeah.

No matter what Mr. Xing's attitude towards the eldest lady is, it is a fact that the gate of the Xing family is difficult to enter. So just don't go in. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Why suffer that injustice?

Let it go!

"Miss, Mr. Xing went out early in the morning."

This morning, Aunt Lan got up to clean the house and saw him coming downstairs with a cold face. She was almost scared to death. If he didn't leave, the house would be frozen.

Aunt Lan added silently in her heart.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Jiang Qianxun picked up the water cup on the bedside.

"Then I'll go downstairs to eat, Aunt Lan. Before I give birth to two children, whenever Mr. Xing is at home, you don't have to come up to call me. I'll go downstairs after he leaves, and I'll let him go as soon as the children are born."

Aunt Lan folded the quilt for her and responded with a "OK".

Jiang Qianxun went downstairs in her slippers. When she reached the lobby, she saw that the parking space outside the floor-to-ceiling window was empty. She pursed her lips, turned around and went to the small restaurant, her steps somewhat lonely.

the other side.

The top floor of Xing Group.

Xing Mingyu was wearing a black shirt, looking straight and calm, exuding a cold aura, as he looked down at the documents.

Assistant Zhou stood by, trembling with fear as he waited for him to finish reading the signature, not daring to make a sound.

I don't know why, but Mr.'s anger has been on the rise recently. Take this morning's shareholders' meeting for example. A shareholder accidentally reported incorrect data, so Mr. gave him a stern look and ordered him to pay attention to the accuracy of the data. If he makes the same mistake again next time, the entire department will have to review the accounts.

He had better be careful, lest he accidentally inhale the wrong breath of air and affect the gentleman's reading of documents, which would not be as simple as a slap in the face...

On this end, Assistant Zhou was still trembling with fear when Ling Yue's voice was heard outside.

"Xing Er, I heard from Xu Li that you seem to be in a bad mood recently?"

"......" Xing Mingyu's hand paused as he was signing, then he waved his hand and put the document on the table.

Assistant Zhou felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He picked up the documents and ran away.

Seeing him in a panic, Ling Yue pulled out a stool and sat opposite Xing Mingyu. His unruly face was full of confusion: "Strange, did Assistant Zhou see a ghost and run so fast? Am I that scary?"

Seeing that Xing Mingyu had an indifferent expression and didn't answer, Ling Yue suddenly leaned over to look at him: "Are you really in a bad mood? Did you have a quarrel with your second sister-in-law? What's the problem? Tell me and I'll help you with some reference and see if your approach is wrong."

Xing Mingyu signed the second document without even looking up.

After a while, the man said calmly: "Then tell me, how to deal with the relationship between men and women? For example, the woman is unilaterally in a cold war."

When Ling Yue heard this, he silently picked up his phone, checked it, and read it aloud.

"Uh? Girls would definitely hope that boys would reflect on themselves first, why they caused the girl to give them the cold shoulder, and kneel down after finding the reason... Forget it, this method is too bullying for men, I don't think you can do it."

"......" Xing Mingyu didn't even raise his head, but signed with a little more force.

Ling Yue quickly scrolled down to look for suggestions from male netizens.

"However, you should give her the cold shoulder first. She is cold, but you are even colder than her. You should show concern for her, but keep a distance. Let her miss you but cannot see you. Distance creates beauty."

Putting away his phone, Ling Yue looked at the man who was signing with his head down, full of gossip: "So, you really have a cold war with your second sister-in-law?"

"......roll!"

"Haha." It was rare to see a good brother being humiliated. No matter whether it was true or not, the single guy's mood was finally balanced. Ling Yue walked away proudly and coolly. Only Xing Mingyu sat in his seat, thoughtful.

At the door, Assistant Zhou was surprised to see Ling Yue walking out of the office safely. He picked up today's schedule and walked in.

Young Master Ling was not kicked out. It seemed that Mr. Zai was in a good mood. He had to finish his work quickly.

"Sir, according to the itinerary, you will go abroad tomorrow to continue discussing cooperation in the field of AI with Mr. White. It will take twelve days. What do you think of your arrangements?"

After saying this, Assistant Zhou was very nervous.

Ever since that day when my husband said there was an emergency at home, he always turned down some travel arrangements that required him to go out. His face looked unhappy whenever he mentioned it, and I was so scared that I dared not even breathe.

I don’t know if he will agree this time.

Or maybe he just didn't even need to breathe, just rolled himself up and threw himself out...

Just when Assistant Zhou was getting anxious, a man's deep voice came from the front.

"As usual."

"Yes." Assistant Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go out when the man spoke again.

"Also, clean up the lounge. I'm staying at the company tonight."

"Okay, sir."

Seeing that his boss had returned to his usual state, Zhou Lieli breathed a sigh of relief and felt that today's work was much easier. However, after a few meetings, night fell.

After sorting out the documents, arranging the bedding and pillows in the office lounge, and placing the lunch boxes sent by the whole courtyard, Assistant Zhou left and closed the door respectfully for him.

In the lounge, Xing Mingyu came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. He wiped the dripping hair on his forehead with a bath towel. When he saw the food box on the table, he seemed to be thinking about something.

He picked up the personal mobile phone on the table which was always fully charged with his slender hands and dialed the familiar number.

After dialing the number, his slender fingers paused. Suddenly, he deleted the numbers one by one, and the phone was thrown back on the table with a "bang".

At the same time, at the Jiang family villa.

Jiang Qianxun had been busy all day and was having dinner in the small restaurant.

"Miss, how about you try this braised sea cucumber and lotus scallops? I heard that eating seafood can supplement calcium for children, especially this sea cucumber, which can enhance the resistance of pregnant women and promote fetal development. Your uncle Jiang highly recommends this dish."

"Let me try." Jiang Qianxun picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. When she tasted the deliciousness of the sea cucumber, her fatigue was almost gone.

"good to eat."

"If it tastes good, eat more. The baby you will give birth to in the future will definitely be tall and strong."

It was a rare occasion that Mr. Xing hadn't come back yet, so Aunt Lan felt much more at ease. Once she mentioned children, she couldn't stop talking about them.

"No, if the eldest daughter gives birth to a little daughter, it's not good to be tall and strong. Girls should be over 1.6 meters and under 1.7 meters tall. Too tall or too short is not good either. However, the punishment..."

Auntie Lan changed her line in time when she realized she was mentioning Mr. Xing: "The eldest daughter is of standard height. If it is a little daughter, she will definitely be about the same height as you."

Jiang Qianxun picked up a piece of scallop and put it in her mouth, not paying any attention to what Aunt Lan said. Ever since she heard the words about the child's height... the figure of Xing Mingyu automatically flashed through her mind.
