Meng Qi pursed her lips. Pregnancy made her feel less distressed at this moment, and joy surged in her heart. She was somewhat anticipating what her child would be like.
Her period was indeed a month late. She had thought it was due to stress and anxiety and hadn't paid much attention, nor had she considered pregnancy.
Meng Qi asked with some concern, "Is the baby healthy?"
"The doctor examined you, and the baby is very healthy," Yao Feili said. "Don't worry about other things. Taking care of yourself and the baby in your womb is the most important."
Meng Qi nodded repeatedly, but then something came to mind. She looked at Yao Feili and asked, "Old Yao, didn't you say before that having a child with your ex-wife was enough? Will you want this child of mine?"
"Of course," Yao Feili said, stroking her head. "I didn't want you to have any psychological burden about having children before. Now that you're pregnant, I definitely want the baby, and I'm very happy."
Meng Qi was so touched that she wanted to cry again. She felt that although she couldn't control Huangfu Group anymore, she at least had a husband who loved her and a baby in her womb.
"This is a happy occasion, why are you still sad?" Yao Feili said with a smile. "Rest well and don't overthink."
Meng Qi's heart didn't hurt as much, and she had hope for the future again.
After she slept again and woke up, she found that Yao Feili was not in the ward. He must have left for something.
Meng Qi felt much better, less tired and fatigued. However, the thought of Qin Tianyi cooperating with her openly while secretly harming Huangfu Group made her heart seethe with hatred.
She remembered the photo of Susu that Mrs. Huang had sent her and knew that Susu was innocent.
But if Qin Tianyi was unrighteous, she couldn't be blamed for being unrighteous!
She found the WeChat of a gossip reporter on her phone and sent him the photo.
...
Susu learned that Tianyi was returning from his business trip today, so she pretended to know nothing and welcomed him home.
Tianyi brought gifts for everyone in the family, saying he bought them abroad. The children were as happy as if it were a festival.
It wasn't until they were alone at night that Susu asked him with a cold face, "Why did you lie to me? Where have you and An Jing been all this time when you weren't on a business trip abroad?"
Tianyi knew he could no longer hide it from her and said, "Actually, An Jing and I have been in Lancheng the whole time. We lied to you about going on a business trip because we had a very important acquisition plan that had to be kept secret until the acquisition was successful, even from family."
"What acquisition plan?" Susu had a bad premonition and said, "Are you targeting Huangfu Group for acquisition?"
Tianyi took her hand and nodded.
"Has it been successfully acquired?" Susu thought of Meng Qi.
"Yes, we have become the largest shareholder of Huangfu Group."
"What about Meng Qi?"
Tianyi said lightly, "She is still a shareholder of Huangfu Group, and her interests will not be affected in any way."
Susu still felt something was not right and asked, "But didn't you say before that you were cooperating with her on a big project? It's not appropriate for you to go from being her partner to being the largest shareholder in her company, is it?"
"What's not appropriate? The project will continue as usual and will not be affected."
Susu asked dully, "Is Meng Qi okay now that she knows all this?"
Tianyi pulled her into his arms and smiled, "What could happen to her? Her husband, Mr. Yao, also has a large group abroad. She will probably go abroad with her husband to live a happy life."
Susu finally felt relieved. She thought that it was true, Meng Qi wouldn't have to work so hard, and it would be nice for her to enjoy life abroad with Yao Feili.
She even wished that she and Tianyi could retire early and travel the world together.
Seeing that she wasn't angry and could understand why he hadn't told her immediately, Tianyi was also relieved.
The next day, as soon as she arrived at the studio, Susu checked for news about Huangfu Group online.
She had never paid attention to financial news before. Upon looking, she discovered that Huangfu Group's equity was about to be restructured, and the group would also be renamed.
There would also be major changes to the financial building owned by Huangfu Group. Looking at these news, she felt that it was not as simple as Tianyi had said.
Susu wanted to call Meng Qi to clarify, but she felt too ashamed to contact Meng Qi.
Meng Qi had wholeheartedly helped her with the orphanage's charity fundraising. But her husband had suddenly become the largest shareholder of Huangfu Group, which was equivalent to taking over Huangfu Group. Meng Qi would surely hate her to death.
She decided to ask Tianyi about it. Just as she was about to call Tianyi, Xu Shishi walked into her office without knocking, looking very anxious.
Just as Susu was about to ask her what was wrong, Shishi placed her phone in front of her and asked, "Sister Gu, is the person in this photo really you?"
Susu looked at the photo on her phone and was so startled that her heart almost leaped out of her chest.
The person in the photo was indeed her, and she had been photographed at that club.
But she had no idea she was photographed at the time. The only people present besides her were Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Yu, and Director Tian.
So it could only be one of the three of them who took the photo.
Now that she had reported Mrs. Yu's charity organization for irregularities, they had released this photo to retaliate against her!
Seeing Susu's expression, Shishi knew that the woman in the photo was indeed her and said in disbelief, "Sister Gu, why would you go to such a place to have fun? What will Mr. Qin do if he finds out?"
Susu looked at her and said, "I didn't do anything with the men in the photo. I was angry when they surrounded me like that and left."
Shishi looked like she didn't understand. Susu helplessly felt that this matter was difficult to explain clearly, and the photo was too easy to lead to wild imaginations.
She decided not to explain and said, "Thank you for telling me. I understand. Anyway, I am innocent."
...
In the evening, Tianyi did not return for dinner, nor did he call or text her.
She contacted him proactively, but no one answered his phone.
Susu felt uneasy and had no mood to play with the children. She sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for him to return.
Seeing that it was very late, she turned off the main lights in the living room and only turned on a wall lamp. She didn't know if Tianyi would return tonight.
She leaned on the sofa, not daring to imagine how angry he would be when he saw the photo.
Just then, there was finally movement outside the door. She saw the car lights and immediately got up to open the door for Tianyi.
However, when Tianyi entered, he ignored her and walked past. The smile on her face froze.
His indifference told her that he had seen the photo.
Susu saw him go upstairs directly and quickly followed him, wanting to explain.
However, he quickly entered the study and, before Susu could catch up, closed the study door and locked it from the inside.
Susu stood outside the study, feeling an unspeakable sense of grievance. She wanted to knock on the door forcefully, and she wanted to explain loudly outside the door.
But she was afraid of waking the children and Xiao Mei, so she returned to her room alone.
