Mo Kai Liang, who had always excelled at patience, could keep his composure in both major and minor matters. However, when it came to the issue of his infertility, he found it to be an insurmountable obstacle.
The reason he disregarded everything and came to the city to work for Ke Wenjie, even taking on the role of a servant and playing the part of a father, was to escape from his small hometown. He was utterly fed up with the gossip from his family about his inability to have children; it had become a heavy label he carried on his back.
When Ke Wenjie deliberately brought up this topic, aiming to undermine Mo Kai Liang's self-esteem, there was a moment when Mo Kai Liang felt like retaliating. But before he could express his anger, Lan Qingqing stepped in to calm things down.
"Who says you can't have children? With today's advanced medical technology, there are always more solutions than problems," she said with a smile. She glanced at Mo Kai Liang and gave him a subtle signal, prompting him to suppress his fury.
Ke Wenjie scoffed, "Even if you could have children in the future, who would bear them? Would Lan Qingqing do it for you?"
Lan Qingqing understood that Ke Wenjie was just venting his frustrations and looking for trouble. She couldn't be bothered to engage with him; now that she had Hou Yi as her support, this dead tree named Ke Wenjie would eventually be cut down and used as firewood.
Turning to Mo Kai Liang, she said, "Could you get me some hot soup? I feel like having some."
Mo Kai Liang silently went to the kitchen, acting like a mere tool. Despite the turmoil inside him, he knew he had to endure; one day, he would achieve success like Hou Yi!
Lan Qingqing settled onto the sofa lazily and asked, "What are your plans next? Divorce?"
Ke Wenjie exploded in anger. "No way! Tong Le has put me in this situation; I’d rather die with her!"
Lan Qingqing chuckled, "Then my child will be left without a father."
Ke Wenjie simmered in silence.
Lan Qingqing suggested, "At this point, why not talk to Tong Le and Zong Zeyu? Instead of both sides suffering losses, you could negotiate a decent settlement and make a comeback."
She stood up and said, "I'm just making a suggestion; there's no need to take it out on me. I'm going to change my clothes."
As she returned to her bedroom, Zhang Huizhi looked at her departing figure with suspicion.
"Lan Qingqing seems like a different person," Zhang Huizhi remarked. "I thought she would go crazy when she got home! Son, she's much calmer than you are."
Ke Wenjie was too preoccupied to ponder Lan Qingqing's thoughts. He pulled out his phone, searching for a number while saying, "I need to visit Zong Shi Yan Tuan in a couple of days; I can't just give up!"
Zhang Huizhi narrowed her eyes mischievously. "How about I go to Tongshan Real Estate? I want to find Jin Zi Meng and get her mother out here; I need that land back from the countryside!"
Ke Wenjie dismissed her with indifference.
Before long, Mo Kai Liang returned from the kitchen carrying a bowl of hot chicken soup and handed it to Zhang Huizhi. "Aunt, have a bowl; I made this soup earlier today; it's still fresh."
Zhang Huizhi took the bowl with an air of superiority. "You better keep your distance from Lan Qingqing! You two are always coming and going together now; what will your cousin think?"
Mo Kai Liang nodded expressionlessly, acknowledging the situation.
The next day, Zhang Huizhi left home early. Unlike before, she was reluctant to spend money on a taxi; if she could walk, she would avoid the subway altogether!
Upon arriving at Tongshan Real Estate, Zhang Huizhi entered the office floor and quickly found Jin Zi Meng. Jin Zi Meng was chatting and laughing with some employees when Zhang Huizhi marched up to her and commanded, "Where's your mother? Get her out here to see me!"
Seeing Zhang Huizhi's domineering attitude, Jin Zi Meng had already heard about her recent fall from grace alongside Ke Wenjie. Thus, she felt no need to be overly polite to Zhang Huizhi anymore.
"What do you want with my mother?" Jin Zi Meng asked.
Zhang Huizhi rolled her eyes. "What a stupid question! Ke Wei Qiang just got into trouble, and your mother ran away! How much money did she take from him? Get her out here! If not, I’ll hire a lawyer and sue you all!"
Zhang Huizhi pulled out a stack of photocopied papers from her bag—documents she had requested from her lawyer. She had printed them specifically! The pages were filled with various legal statutes. She had only slept three hours last night just to study these laws!
She threw the stack of papers in front of Jin Zi Meng and warned, "Your mother is a mistress! She deceived Ke Wei Qiang out of land in the countryside! As his wife, I have the right to reclaim that land! It is marital property between me and Ke Wei Qiang, and your mother has no right to occupy it!"
Jin Zi Meng wasn't very knowledgeable about the law, but she didn't doubt Zhang Huizhi's words. After all, marital property cannot be casually given to a third party.
Feeling a bit flustered, Jin Zi Meng realized that Tong Le wouldn't be coming to the office for a few days. In her moment of panic, she didn't know how to respond.
Jiang Zhichao approached Jin Zi Meng upon hearing the commotion and stood in front of her. He addressed Zhang Huizhi, saying, "This is a company, not a place for you to cause trouble. If you're not here for business, then please leave and don’t disrupt our work!"
Zhang Huizhi shouted back, "What does it have to do with you? Get lost!"
