Zhang Huizhi greeted Lan Qingqing warmly before stepping into the house. Inside, Zhang Huizhi was tidying up when Ke Jie walked by Lan Qingqing's door. Hearing the sounds from within, he confirmed that Mo Kai Liang was also in Lan Qingqing's house.
Ke Jie’s expression darkened instantly, an inexplicable possessiveness surged through him. Had they slept together last night? How could he be here with her?
Lan Qingqing intentionally provoked him, "Now you’re worried? Weren’t you the one who brought your distant cousin here to be my future husband? He’s just been hanging out with me for a bit, and you can’t handle it?"
Ke Jie angrily grabbed Lan Qingqing by the neck, his frustration boiling over. Last night, he had been infuriated by Tong Le, and all the pent-up anger was now unleashed through his grip.
Lan Qingqing clutched his arm tightly until Mo Kai Liang emerged from the bedroom, calling out, "Lan Qingqing, I’ve taken care of things here."
Ke Jie quickly released her, his gaze sharp enough to kill.
Mo Kai Liang greeted Ke Jie with enthusiasm but couldn’t help feeling resentful inside. "Bro! You’re here!"
Ke Jie’s anger hadn’t dissipated; noticing the tense atmosphere, Mo Kai Liang hurriedly explained, "I came to bring breakfast for Lan Qingqing. I made too much this morning and can’t finish it alone. Plus, you told me repeatedly to take care of her."
Ke Jie calmed down a bit and said to Mo Kai Liang, "You go next door; my mom is moving in and needs help organizing."
Mo Kai Liang nodded and headed straight next door.
Once inside, Ke Jie specifically checked Lan Qingqing’s bedroom to ensure there were no signs of a man having been there before he felt reassured. Although he didn’t love Lan Qingqing, his possessiveness was strong; in his mind, both she and Tong Le were his possessions. Unless he chose to abandon them, no one else should touch them!
Leaning against the wall, Lan Qingqing remarked sarcastically, "Sometimes I really can’t figure you out—do you care about me or not? Back in college, I thought you were a reliable and knowledgeable man. Now… tsk tsk."
Ke Jie was too tired to deal with Lan Qingqing’s strange thoughts and instructed her, "My mom will be staying here while Tong Le has her baby. During this time, take care of my mom and keep her company when you have time."
Lan Qingqing raised a request, "What’s in it for me?"
Ke Jie replied, "If you safely deliver the baby inside you, I’ll let you move into a bigger house. I need to figure out how to deal with Tong Le quickly; once she has the baby, that child will be the sole heir of the Tong family. Even if Tong Le and I end up divorced due to unforeseen circumstances, the family assets will never fall into someone else’s hands. Once Tong Le is out of the picture and I have the child with me, I’ll take over all of Tong family’s assets. At that point, you’ll support me and our child."
Lan Qingqing asked curiously, "What made you change your mind so suddenly? You used to hesitate about divorcing Tong Le; now just a few days later, your attitude has completely shifted. Not only do you want a divorce but it sounds like you want to silence Tong Le as well?"
Ke Jie replied seriously, "I’m starting to lose control over Tong Le; her resistance is growing stronger. She feels different now—she's not the same as before."
Lan Qingqing quickly interjected, "See! I told you she’s not the same! She gives off this vibe of being two-faced! Plus, my gut tells me she has something going on with Zong Zeyu from Zong Group! But you refuse to believe it!"
Ke Jie scoffed dismissively, "If Tong Le could seduce Zong Zeyu, that would be impressive. But if it were you in her place—could you do it?"
Lan Qingqing was left speechless.
In the apartment across the hall, Zhang Huizhi and Mo Kai Liang were reminiscing about their hometown. Zhang Huizhi felt a wave of nostalgia; it had been a long time since she visited the countryside, and she wondered how things were developing back home.
Zhang Huizhi pulled Mo Kai Liang onto the sofa and chattered away, "Mo Kai Liang, are you married yet? How's your mother? When did you come to the city?"
Mo Kai Liang scratched his head, feeling shy. "Aunt, I just arrived a couple of days ago. My brother asked me to come to the city to develop my career, so here I am. I'm just following his wishes and helping take care of Lan Qingqing."
Zhang Huizhi was confused. "Take care of Lan Qingqing? Your brother wants you to look after her?"
Mo Kai Liang nodded. "Yeah, isn't Lan Qingqing pregnant? I know about my brother's situation. I figured you moved here to help her too. After all, she's pregnant, and my brother can't get a divorce or neglect the child in her belly, so it falls on me to help out."
He sighed. "My brother has it tough, and Lan Qingqing is really suffering."
Zhang Huizhi took a moment to process this information; she finally understood the relationship between Lan Qingqing and her son, Ke Jie.
Suddenly, Zhang Huizhi stood up and strode across the hall with determination. She confronted Lan Qingqing with an assertive demeanor, though her movements were surprisingly gentle.
Zhang Huizhi reached out to touch Lan Qingqing's belly, excitement bubbling over. "Lan Qingqing, you’re carrying our Jie’s child, aren’t you?"
Lan Qingqing exchanged an awkward glance with Ke Jie; both wore expressions of embarrassment.
Ke Jie immediately understood that Lan Qingqing must have confided in Mo Kai Liang.
Zhang Huizhi embraced Lan Qingqing tightly, tears of joy welling up in her eyes. "Thank heavens! Thank you for giving our Ke Family a chance! This is our family's true lineage! I won't have to endure Tong Le's nonsense anymore!"
Wiping away her tears fiercely, she grasped Lan Qingqing's shoulders with determination in her eyes. "Lan Qingqing, if you had told me about your relationship with Jie sooner, I would have found a way to welcome you into our family! But it's not too late now; it's never too late! Rest assured, the child in your belly is the future heir of our Ke Family! As for that wretched Tong Le and her child, I won’t let her have her way! Everything from the Tong Family belongs to you and your baby!"
