Chapter 131: Chapter 131 I’m Pregnant

Song Family reception hall.

Qin Wang, in his disheveled clothes, leaned on a birchwood cane with his right hand and carried a liquor gourd in his left, his whole person reeking of alcohol.

When Song Qingshan first saw Qin Wang, he was only slightly surprised, but then quickly said with utmost respect, "Old Brother Qin, please take a seat!"

He didn’t show the slightest disdain for Qin Wang’s shabby appearance, and not only he and Xia Wanrong, but also the siblings Song Jie and Song Yan were all filled with respect.

"Haha, Elder Song is too polite; I’m dirty, so I’ll just find a spot to sit down," laughed Qin Wang heartily and then he simply sat down on the stair steps of the second floor in the reception hall, picked up his liquor gourd, and took another big swig.

Song Qingshan and the others were all stunned by the sight; they invited him repeatedly, but Qin Wang still stubbornly sat on the stair steps.

He said with a smile on his face, "Elder Song, no need for any more courtesies. I’ve come today to take Nian Nian away."

Upon hearing his words, Song Qingshan and the others were taken aback; exchanging glances, their faces showed difficulty.

Song Qingshan quickly spoke up, "Old Brother Qin, it’s not easy for you to come to Jiangcheng City; don’t rush to leave. Stay at the Song Family for a few days and take Nian Nian away after a few days, how about that?"

Xia Wanrong also spoke, "Yes! Just so happens Qin Chuan is away from Jiangcheng City for some business. We can all gather when he returns."

"All of us?"

Qin Wang looked at Xia Wanrong with confusion, apparently not understanding what she meant.

With a warm and refined smile, Xia Wanrong stepped forward while pulling Song Yan and said, "You might not know yet, but Qin Chuan and my daughter Song Yan are very much in love. We’ve been wanting to visit you to discuss their wedding, but since you’ve come, it’s perfect. When Qin Chuan returns, we can have a proper talk."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Song Family members were all shocked, and Song Yan’s delicate face immediately flushed red.

She was usually straightforward, and even more so passionate in front of Qin Chuan, but Qin Wang was Qin Chuan’s only elder, and she was very nervous meeting him for the first time.

After a brief moment of surprise, Song Qingshan immediately became overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, once Qin Chuan comes back tomorrow, we’ll finalize their marriage."

In his heart, he was ecstatic. If it were in the past, he wouldn’t dare to make this decision on his own, but now, he dared to make such a commitment.

If Qin Chuan became angry because of this, he could easily say he did so just to temporarily appease Old Master Qin.

Whether Qin Chuan agreed or not was irrelevant by now, since he had already refused Song Yan once; refusing her again wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Qin Wang’s eyes suddenly lit up, as he said excitedly, "Really?"

Song Qingshan quickly nodded, "Of course it’s true!"

Just as they spoke, Qin Nian came out from a nearby villa and, from afar, saw Qin Wang. Her eyes reddened immediately, and she shouted, "Grandpa!"

Qin Nian ran over quickly, not minding Qin Wang’s old and worn clothes at all, and threw herself into his arms, crying, "Grandpa, I’ve missed you so much!"

Since they were young, Qin Nian and Qin Wang had relied on each other for survival; Qin Wang had painstakingly supported them with his hands, collecting countless scraps to sell for money to raise her.

"My dear granddaughter, why are you still such a crybaby just like before?" Qin Wang said with a laugh, but his eyes were already moist.

After a while, Qin Nian’s emotions stabilized, she rubbed her reddened eyes and asked with confusion, "Grandpa, how did you get here?"

Qin Wang’s expression instantly dimmed and after a slight silence, he finally said, "Tomorrow is your parents’ memorial day. I plan to take you to pay respects to them!"

Upon hearing his words, Qin Nian froze on the spot.

She had grown up and this was the first time Qin Wang had offered to take her to pay respects to her parents. She had asked many times before, but Qin Wang had never told her where their graves were.

Song Qingshan’s expression immediately stiffened. He had thought that by discussing Song Yan and Qin Chuan’s marriage, he could keep Qin Wang around, but he hadn’t expected that tomorrow was the memorial day for Qin Nian’s parents.

A wedding could be discussed anytime, but the memorial day comes only once a year.

Qin Nian fell silent for a moment before looking at Qin Wang with red-rimmed eyes and said, "Grandpa, when do we leave?"

Qin Wang said, "Now!"

"Okay!"

Song Qingshan and the others knew they could not stop them, and could only watch as the grandfather and grandson left.

Watching their retreating figures, Song Qingshan spoke with a grave expression, "Although we do not know the authenticity of that encrypted message, it is better to be safe than sorry. We must find a way to protect Old Brother Qin and Qin Nian!"

Song Jie expressed his concern, "When they were at the Song Family, you could protect them, but now that they have left, how will you protect them?"

Song Qingshan slowly said, "There’s someone who would be very willing to protect them covertly!"

"Who?"

Song Jie and the others were all surprised.

Song Qingshan said, "Tang Zhonghan!"

Suddenly, it dawned on them. Tang Zhonghan had previously caused Qin Chuan’s dissatisfaction by keeping secrets from him and even faced Qin Chuan’s rejection of his company.

Now was Tang Zhonghan’s chance to prove himself. If he managed this well, it was possible that Qin Chuan would forgive him.

While Song Qingshan was contacting Tang Zhonghan, back in Jiangcheng City at the Xiao Family.

"Mom!"

Xiao Mengyi looked at Xiao Qing, who entered the room with red-rimmed eyes, and pleaded desperately, "Mom, I really can’t marry into the Chen Family. Please show mercy and let me go, okay?"

Xiao Qing huffed coldly, her face darkening as she said, "I’m here to see you, not to listen to this nonsense. If I let you go, what about the engagement banquet tomorrow?"

"Do you have the heart to let the Xiao Family and the Chen Family become the laughingstock of the entire city? The Xiao Family could bear all of this, but would the Chen Family be willing to endure such humiliation?"

"If I let you go now, the Xiao Family would have to pay a very severe price!"

Xiao Mengyi clenched her lips tightly, her face full of despair.

She couldn’t accept that her own mother would treat her this way. Even if her mother had deceived her with kind words to persuade her into marrying into the Chen Family, that would have been acceptable.

But from beginning to end, Xiao Qing had used a commanding tone, dictating what she should do.

She had tolerated this kind of life for twenty-five whole years and couldn’t stand it any longer!

Xiao Qing failed to notice the growing rage on Xiao Mengyi’s face and said indifferently from a position of authority, "Xiao Mengyi, I’m warning you, you’d better not pull any stunts. At the engagement banquet tomorrow, if you dare to ruin it, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

"Moreover, I have already arranged for someone to watch Qin Chuan’s sister. If Qin Chuan dares to make a fuss at the engagement banquet, with one phone call, the expert I’ve hired will kill his sister!"

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Mengyi’s expression changed drastically.

"Enough!"

Xiao Mengyi suddenly stood up, her face filled with anger, and said, "If you dare to harm the innocent, I would rather die!"

"I really want to see if the Chen Family will still support the Xiao Family if I die at their engagement banquet!"

Xiao Qing was momentarily stunned, having never imagined that Xiao Mengyi would dare to threaten her.

Xiao Qing laughed out of extreme anger, her face twisted with rage, "You, you’re threatening me?"

"Slap!"

Xiao Mengyi slammed a medical report onto the table and said coldly, "I’m already pregnant with Qin Chuan’s child. If the Chen Family finds out about this, do you think they would still want me to marry into their family?"
