Chapter 302: Twins are pregnant, won’t their mother skin you alive?
In the early morning, the skyline was covered with a hint of paleness, but the city was still in a slumber.
There are busy figures at the breakfast stalls. The city's sanitation workers hurriedly clean the streets before dawn. It won't be long before office workers start to leave their homes and cars come and go on the streets. Only then does the city wake up from the sound of car horns.
Liu He and Chen's father got up very early. People of this age usually don't sleep in, so they must wake up before six o'clock in the morning. When they are at home, they will go out for a walk together and breathe the fresh morning air.
When he arrived in Lanjing, Liu He hesitated and did not give up this habit.
She decided to go downstairs with Chen's father and buy breakfast on the way.
Liu He thought that she could ask Ningning and Yaoyao to come and have breakfast together. They had received such a grand reception yesterday at noon. As elders, they naturally had to repay the younger generations so as to leave a good and friendly impression. Besides, the high-speed train left at 8:30, and if they didn't have this breakfast, they might not be able to meet the two sisters and would have to leave.
For a moment, Liu He was a little reluctant to let go, after all, they were such good girls.
This was the biggest gain of her trip. She no longer had to worry about Chen Yuan’s future marriage. Finding a future daughter-in-law with such good conditions must have been a blessing for the whole family over the years.
The two elders looked at Chen Yuan's closed bedroom door when they went out.
"My son is asleep. Do you want to ask him to come downstairs with you?"
"Forget it," Father Chen shook his head, "Let him get a good night's sleep. He'll just have to go to school after we leave. Young people need more rest."
"Okay, let's go. There's an elevator." Liu He closed the door lightly and pointed outside.
Dad Chen and Liu He had a fight last night, but that’s how couples are, they quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. After so many years of relationship, they have never been angry with each other. As long as the emotions at that point pass, they will naturally make up.
Of course the problem has not been solved, and no one can convince anyone in a short period of time.
The two elders seemed to understand their son a little bit. They still had disagreements, not to mention Chen Yuan who was in the middle of the situation. It was normal for him to feel confused and uneasy.
When Liu He entered the elevator, her eyes glanced at the door of 1301 inconspicuously. She thought that the two sisters lived in this suite and didn't know... they were sleeping on Chen Yuan's big bed at this time.
Liu He also had some ideas in his mind.
Since they had different opinions, she couldn't act too hastily. After returning, she planned to visit her hometown when she had time to talk to Chen Yuan's grandparents about his experience in college and "by the way" tell them about Jiang Ning's affairs. The two old people had loved Chen Yuan since he was a child, so they were naturally happy to hear the news.
Later, when Chen Yuan returns to his hometown, he will definitely ask about it.
Father Chen has always been a filial person. He knew the joy of the two old people, and his insistence on Jiang Yao's idea was automatically shattered.
Liu He's calculations were extremely shrewd. To Jiang Ning, who was completely unaware of the situation, it was not an exaggeration to describe Liu He as the "best assist".
But no matter how clever her calculations were, half an hour later she saw the two sisters walking out of Chen Yuan's bedroom together.
All these plans will go to waste.
They slept in the same bed, and her son could do such a bastard thing. With Liu He's traditional ideas, she would no longer have the face to let Jiang Yao compromise...
Because she is also a woman, she knows how precious chastity and friendship are to a good girl.
……
Liu He went out to buy breakfast and came back with steaming buns and century egg and lean meat porridge.
In a dim bedroom.
Perhaps she was too tired yesterday. Jiang Ning, who always got up on time and didn't sleep in, actually slept until seven o'clock. She woke up slowly, frowned and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
The dimness of the room made her misjudge the time, especially since the curtains were closed, making her think it was still dark.
The first thought that came to Jiang Ning’s mind was that she got up quite early today.
She turned her face and raised her head slightly, looking at Chen Yuan who was soundly sleeping. Half of his face was hidden in the quilt, his bangs lazily lying on his forehead. His peaceful sleeping face particularly highlighted the boy's youthfulness and good looks.
Jiang Ning watched quietly for a while, and suddenly wanted to reach out and poke his cheek and play a teasing on him.
It must be very interesting.
Jiang Ning finally gave up the idea and did not disturb Chen Yuan. Instead, she fumbled for her mobile phone by the bed. When she turned on the screen and squinted to see the time, her delicate eyes suddenly widened.
"It's seven o'clock!"
She sat up in a flash, shook Chen Yuan's shoulder, and said anxiously:
"Chen Zai... Chen Zai, we are running out of time. What time did your parents take the high-speed train this morning?"
"Hmm..." Chen Yuan turned around without opening his eyes: "Is it morning?"
"The sun is out."
"Okay, get up right away."
Although Chen Yuan said this, he wrapped himself in the quilt and did not look like he was getting up. It seemed that he was deliberately dawdling to delay time. Jiang Ning pulled him for a long time before getting him to sit up.
"Uncle and aunt must be up now. How can Yaoyao and I go out? But after you send uncle and aunt away after 8 o'clock, we won't have time. I have an appointment to pick up someone else... Oh, how about I give them a phone call and tell them first." She hesitated halfway through her anxiety.
"No, don't worry, my parents won't get up."
"Really?"
"How could I bear to lie to Ningning?" Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
This made Jiang Ning feel relieved, and her anxious mood eased a little, but she couldn't hear Chen Yuan's inner thoughts - cheating Ningning? Definitely a scam!
Chen Yuan performed for so long yesterday, just for this moment today.
Now that everything was going smoothly as planned, Chen Yuan had already anticipated that his parents were preparing breakfast in the living room, perhaps discussing whether to wake him up.
He guessed them all right.
Dad Chen and Liu He had just entered the house at this time and put all the breakfast they bought on the table.
"Then let's call a locksmith over right away. Tell him in advance to try not to make any noise. We can just communicate over the phone."
"Wait a minute," Chen Yuan waved his hand, "Let me see what's wrong with the door. I was a little too tired yesterday. Maybe I can fix it."
"Then you see, I'll call Yaoyao to get up."
Jiang Ning said as she hurriedly pushed Yaoyao who was sleeping soundly, and woke him up with sleepy eyes. Yaoyao who had just woken up didn't know what was going on. She thought she was at home, so she let her sister go and went to sleep for a while.
"Still sleeping, if your uncle and aunt see you later, I wonder if you will be embarrassed."
"Sister, what are you talking about..." Jiang Yao tried to pull up the quilt to cover herself.
During this time, Chen Yuan used a screwdriver to replace the removed screws at the door and restored everything on the door to its original state. In just one minute, the door lock was back to its original state.
He clapped his hands.
"done."
"So fast?" Jiang Ning turned her head in surprise and walked over in disbelief. She pulled up her hair and fiddled with the door handle tentatively. Seeing that Chen Yuan had really fixed it, her cheeks suddenly lit up and she said excitedly, "Chen, you are amazing."
"It's not difficult. I just tinkered with it a few times."
"I couldn't get it into this groove last night, but you fixed it in no time. This saves a lot of effort and we don't have to call someone to fix it," Jiang Ning praised without hesitation, "Okay, I look at you with a new eye now."
Chen Yuan felt a little embarrassed after receiving such compliments, and his eyes just glanced away.
The sudden feeling of guilt made Chen Yuan feel a little at a loss.
This was probably the same feeling as when the two sisters lied to him, the same 100% trust and no doubt. Jiang Ning would be able to find countless loopholes if he carefully thought about what happened last night.
Without even thinking, she easily stepped into the trap that the big bad wolf had set for the little lamb.
Then.
Jiang Ning pulled up the dazed Jiang Yao and told her to take this opportunity to go home together.
open the door.
The two sisters walked stealthily along the corner of the wall. Jiang Yao put on the hood of her pajamas. She had regained most of her consciousness, but still looked listless.
Since Chen Yuan was walking in front carelessly, not caring whether the sound of his footsteps would wake up Chen's parents, Jiang Ning was a little worried, so she reached out and pulled Chen Yuan.
She motioned for him to walk quietly and close to the wall, and it would be best if he tiptoed. There wasn't much distance from the bedroom to the living room and then to the safe entrance. After enduring this difficult half minute, Jiang Ning wouldn't have to be nervous anymore.
That's what she thought.
Until the first few steps after walking out of the door and into the living room.
Chen Yuan walked over first, and the two sisters followed him into the living room. However, they immediately heard a low voice.
"I'll go call our son. He'll go to the station after dinner and he'll be going to class soon. It's a small matter if he delays our high-speed train ride, but he can't be delayed in class."
"Okay, go ahead. Xiaohe, I remember where I put your sun hat. Why can't I find it?"
"I packed it up in my bag. I'll get it when I go out."
Jiang Ning was standing at one side of the living room. When she heard the approaching footsteps, her pupils shrank sharply.
What you fear will come true. The fact is not at all like what Chen Yuan said. His parents haven't gotten up yet, but the two elders have already tidied up everything and breakfast is on the table. They can just pick up their bags and go to the station.
At this critical moment.
Jiang Ning's brain was almost unable to work. She subconsciously raised her legs and wanted to walk back, returning to the original path and hiding in the bedroom.
Before she could react.
next moment.
"Dad, Mom, are you awake?" Chen Yuan greeted them casually while yawning.
"Hey, I was just about to call you, and you came over. Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, and then call Ningning and Yaoyao. The buns and porridge your dad and I bought are still hot—"
Liu He was all smiles as she spoke halfway.
Chen Yuan deliberately dodged and walked over, revealing the two sisters who were hidden behind him.
Liu He's expression froze on her face in an instant. The corners of her mouth were still raised, but she was indescribably stiff. She stood there in a daze, looking at the two sisters in pajamas with her mouth slightly open.
This moment.
She didn't even react, and it took a moment before she realized it.
The two sisters walked out of Chen Yuan's bedroom.
In an instant, Liu He's expression changed dramatically, and the shock in his pupils was clearly visible.
Jiang Ning looked at her future mother-in-law awkwardly. She had no words to explain herself and had no choice but to stand there stiffly.
The strangeness here startled Father Chen, who looked over in a somewhat strange way. After taking a first look, he retracted his head, and suddenly turned it back sharply, with an indescribable look of astonishment behind his sharp lenses.
Of course, there was also Jiang Yao, who was confused and had no idea about the situation.
She also felt how wrong the atmosphere was, and she stood at the back with her hands and feet tied and looked innocent. At this point, she had no choice but to play dumb.
Eye contact.
Several people maintained the same expression and no one moved.
The living room was connected to the balcony with the windows open. A loud car horn rang out, piercing everyone's ears.
Chen Yuan, who had single-handedly created this situation, scratched his head.
"Dad, what did you buy for breakfast? It's a good opportunity for us to eat together. Ningning and Yaoyao are here too, so I don't need to call them."
Chen Yuan was like a puppet who was out of control but still had to finish his performance on stage. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then reached out to take the steaming buns on the plate.
"Porridge and buns. Your mother and I got up early and have already eaten outside."
"Then let us eat all of this? How can we finish it?"
"It's okay," Dad Chen adjusted his glasses, sighed inwardly, and said calmly, "Eat slowly."
Liu He lowered her face, not knowing what kind of inner transformation she had gone through. When she raised her face, she forced an ugly smile and came over to hold Ningning and Yaoyao's hands.
"Eat quickly, or it will get cold."
"Thank...thank you, auntie."
……
Seven forty in the morning, high-speed rail station.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Chen Yuan was grabbed by the ear and rushed forward with his head down. Liu He cursed as he walked, and her hands were very strong. Chen Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and wailed: "My ear is going to be pulled off."
"You deserve it! You deserve to die!" Liu He couldn't control the raging fire of anger at all. "How could I raise a bastard like you? You always do things that embarrass me. I didn't slap you twice because you are an adult. I'm saving your face."
"What's wrong with me……"
"You still dare to ask me what's wrong? What happened when Ningning and Yaoyao came out of your room together this morning!"
Chen Yuan was speechless and could only look at his mother with innocent eyes.
Father Chen did not try to dissuade the man and just walked aside with a stern face. It was obvious that he could not save his son this time because the nature of the matter was extremely bad.
"What do you think?" Liu He asked in an incredulous tone, "This is no small matter. Tell mom, what if Ningning and Yaoyao get pregnant? You want to be a father at the age of nineteen? You are a child now. If you give birth to another child, let me and your dad raise it?"
"I do not have."
"I'm increasingly unable to control you now, Chen Yuan. I thought you were just in love, living, studying and making progress together, but you ended up tricking two girls into coming home! No matter how open the society is, you can't do this. Come on, I don't think I need to worry about you anymore. You can do whatever you want in the future. Don't let your parents clean up your mess when the time comes. You won't have to go to school anymore!" Liu He talked violently without stopping.
Her heart was beating fast, her face showed helplessness and anger, but more of it was incomprehension.
My son was so well-behaved before he went to college. He was a typical three-good student and five-good young man. How come he has become like this now?
In just half a year.
Chen Yuan just listened silently at first. He had anticipated today's outcome last night. He was scolded as he deserved to be scolded. It didn't hurt him at all.
When he heard "You can do whatever you want in the future", his eyes lit up instantly.
"Mom, this is what you said, don't regret it."
"What? Which sentence did I say?"
"It means that you won't care about anything from now on, and let me handle Ningning and Yaoyao's affairs by myself."
"I--" Liu He suddenly choked, and then slapped Chen Yuan on the shoulder, "Do you think I want to care? It's because I'm worried about you. Look at the shit you've done. If something happens to these two good girls, their mother will skin you alive!"
"No, I will know how to handle it properly." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Oh, you are really... I really can't say anything about you, kid."
Liu He wanted to talk but stopped herself. Even though she had thousands of words in her heart, they all stayed on her lips. As a parent, there is actually very little she can communicate with her children.
What else can she say?
It was early in the morning, and as the sun was scorching, the electronic announcement at the high-speed railway station sounded. People around hurriedly passed the three people carrying luggage and gathered towards the security checkpoint.
There is no time to talk.
Chen Yuan couldn't get through the security checkpoint either, so he had to stop here.
At this time.
Father Chen came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, Dad doesn't have much to say to you. You are all good girls. In short, you should shoulder the responsibilities of a man and don't escape even if something happens."
"Are you still hoping for something to happen?" Liu He glared and said, "Never mind. Your father and I are going back anyway. You bastard, do whatever you want. I hope you are as sensible as you say you are."
"Mom..." Chen Yuan handed over the luggage, "Go through security quickly."
Nothing more to say.
He waved goodbye to his parents who were gradually joining the intertwined crowd.
When Liu He turned around and glared at him and said, "You go back too," Chen Yuan smiled shamelessly, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.
He turned around, walked lightly, and suddenly felt relaxed, walking against the countless passengers who passed by him.
This difficult hurdle has finally been overcome.
Next, all you need to do is quietly enjoy your love with the two sisters in this city, even though there are countless visible and invisible difficulties and obstacles ahead.
But Chen Yuan inexplicably gained more confidence and became more determined in his heart.
You see, only when people lower their bottom line and abandon their face will they realize that these illusory things are not important.
Seize what you have now, this is the real happiness.
……
He took a leave of absence from school.
Because he had more important things to do, Chen Yuan returned home from the high-speed rail station, changed his clothes, and hurried out.
Chen Yuan drove to the Bauhinia Company. Pei Youwen had already prepared many documents and was waiting for him in the back seat of a Maybach.
After he got in the car, the driver slowly started the engine.
The humming sound of the engine sounded very exciting. When the luxury car drove out of the garage, Chen Yuan was fastening his seat belt.
"If we take the highway, it will only take about two hours. It will be just the right time for the meeting and won't waste any time." Pei Youwen said respectfully.
"I've never been to the headquarters. This is my first time there. Will the process be the same as when we have a meeting there?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.
"No, everyone who can attend the meeting is a senior executive of the company, so go directly through the VIP channel."
"Okay, I'll just have you lead the way."
Upon hearing this, Pei Youwen immediately showed a bitter smile on his face.
After a moment, he explained to Chen Yuan:
"I wasn't the one leading the way this time. When we got there, President Jiang arranged for someone to greet us. This was also my first time attending a meeting. To be honest, I was a little nervous."
"First time? You've never been to headquarters before?"
"No, I just haven't attended such a high-level meeting."
"But you were the executive president of Bauhinia Company before. So you are not qualified to attend the meeting?" Chen Yuan was quite surprised.
"What's the Bauhinia Company? It may have some fame in Lanjing, but compared with Jiang's Energy Group, it's just a drop in the ocean. All the people attending the meeting this time are big shots. If I can achieve the same success as any one of them in my life, I'll die with no regrets."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Chen Yuan looked at Pei Youwen. He always thought that little Pei was very ambitious. This was the first time he saw him so nervous.
"I'm not exaggerating. After all, Jiang's is a well-known group in Kyoto and a leader in energy companies. I'm very excited that I can attend this time thanks to you and show my face."
As he spoke, a hint of fanaticism flashed in Pei Youwen's eyes.
Entering the Jiang Group headquarters has been his lifelong dream.
Chen Yuan looked at Pei Youwen with interest. After a moment, he adjusted the position of his seat and found a comfortable lying position.
"I'll catch up on some sleep first. It would be best if I could sleep my way to my destination."
"Then go to sleep," Pei Youwen said, and then told the driver in front, "Turn up the air conditioning temperature a little bit, don't blow it towards our CEO Jiang."
The driver nodded in agreement.
This black and white car, which is low-key yet luxurious, was driving smoothly on the road to Kyoto, and there was silence inside the car.
In no time.
Chen Yuan fell asleep.
……
What comes into view is an extremely magnificent building located in the middle of the streets that extend in all directions. It stands tall and majestic like a pair of huge hands embracing the sky and blocking out the sun.
The silver building in the middle is low, appearing like a floating cloud, but a building should have cold edges and corners. The two temperaments complement each other, making this building even more extraordinary.
On a huge stone at the entrance that was moved from somewhere, there is an inscription with "Jiang's Energy Group Co., Ltd." in large characters written in a flamboyant style.
The buildings inside are just like the words, not exquisite, but instead give off an industrial feel that an energy company should have.
Chen Yuan used to think that his biological father Jiang Zhengfeng was very powerful. As the actual person in charge of an entire large company, the place he lived in when he came to Kyoto to study was also very luxurious.
However, he had never actually been to Jiang's Group because he had never been interested in it before.
Now, the foundation that Jiang Zhengfeng had worked hard for for half his life was right in front of him. Chen Yuan finally understood what a monster enterprise the Jiang Group was.
This area is... a huge monster, it's intimidating just by looking at it.
