Tong Le shrugged off Lan Qingqing's arm and walked away. Lan Qingqing stood frozen, her head spinning with anger. Fifty thousand had just been deducted from her bank account, and she didn't even have the chance to refuse!
She opened her phone to check her bank balance. Previously, Mo Kai Liang had transferred money to her, but every single cent had been taken away. She was utterly frustrated and didn't know how to explain this to Mo Kai Liang.
Today marked a full week since Mo Kai Liang had disappeared. Not only had Lan Qingqing been unable to contact him, but even Ke Wenjie was unreachable. Ke Wenjie was on the verge of reporting him missing; a week ago, Mo Kai Liang had suddenly vanished without a trace. He hadn’t been home to do chores or cook, nor had he been at the hospital taking care of Zhang Huizhi. Ke Wenjie was furious, cursing everyone in sight, and as the time dragged on, he even began to suspect that Mo Kai Liang might be dead.
Lan Qingqing had searched for Mo Kai Liang for quite some time. Although he hadn’t completely ghosted her—he had replied once saying not to worry and that he would return soon—she wasn’t particularly concerned about him. After all, he was just an insignificant man with no prospects. Instead of hoping for someone like him from the countryside to become wealthy, she thought it would be better to seduce a rich heir and rely on the child in her womb to secure her future.
Lan Qingqing viewed Mo Kai Liang merely as a way to pass the time and occasionally squeeze a little money from him. For anything substantial, she knew she needed a man with a solid family background.
Calculating her days, she realized it had been exactly one week since Ke Wenjie had promised to consider giving her three million.
Standing by her car, she called Ke Wenjie. When the call connected and she was about to speak, Ke Wenjie interrupted, "I'm at the bank right now. Starting today, I’ll send you one hundred thousand each month. After you give birth, I’ll transfer five hundred thousand in one go. During the breastfeeding period, I’ll continue sending you money."
Lan Qingqing disagreed vehemently. "Why should I accept that? You need to give me the three million all at once! Who said anything about installments?"
Ke Wenjie wasn’t going to indulge her either. Knowing Lan Qingqing well enough, he was sure that as long as he agreed to pay, she wouldn’t dare refuse.
His tone turned harsh. "Then go ahead and kill the child! I don’t want it anymore! I’m leaving the bank right now! I worked hard for this money; if you threaten me again, I swear I’ll take you down with me! Lan Qingqing, I warn you not to push me into a corner!"
Lan Qingqing felt defeated; receiving one hundred thousand each month wasn't too bad after all. She couldn’t afford to push him too far.
Clearing her throat, she said, "Fine then. Starting today, send me one hundred thousand each month. I need money for supplements too."
Ke Wenjie warned her sharply, "If anything happens to the child halfway through, I’ll take your life!"
After hanging up, Lan Qingqing looked down at her abdomen with disdain. She wished she could punch the child inside her; carrying such a cursed offspring was truly disgusting! If it weren’t for that three million, she would have aborted the child in the bathroom rather than let it benefit that useless Ke Wenjie!
She got into her car just then when her phone rang—it was Mo Kai Liang calling after a long absence.
Lan Qingqing quickly answered, "Where have you been? Why didn’t you call me?"
On the other end of the line, Mo Kai Liang sounded slightly excited. "I’m back home! When are you coming back? I bought you a gift!"
Lan Qingqing replied curtly, "I’m on my way back now. Where have you been this past week? Not a word from you."
Mo Kai Liang said cheerfully, "You’ll find out when you come back. I'm waiting for you at home and will cook for you."
On the other side, Tong Le drove to Zong Group. She was in an exceptionally good mood today, humming a little tune as she entered the office building and took the elevator.
Almost everyone in the group knew Tong Le's identity. Just a week ago, Zong Zeyu had often mentioned in front of Si Li that Tong Le was about to finalize her divorce, and he would soon have a wife. Zong Zeyu was completely unbothered by how the employees at Si Li viewed him; he practically wanted everyone to know that Tong Le was his wife.
As Tong Le stepped into the elevator, a sweet-talking male employee greeted her with "President's Wife!" Tong Le felt a wave of nervousness wash over her; being called "President's Wife" almost felt like it would shorten her life.
She searched for Zong Zeyu's office, but he was not there at the moment, as he was in a conference room discussing collaborations and meeting with national leaders. She also looked for Wen and Zong Jin, but they were nowhere to be found, likely attending meetings on another floor.
While wandering in the Office Lobby, Tong Le noticed that every desk in the hall had several bouquets of black roses. Curious, she asked one of the employees about them. The employee explained that the black roses were distributed by Wu Youyou, who often received large bunches of them. To avoid waste, she shared them with everyone.
At that moment, a Female Secretary approached Tong Le from behind and said, "Miss Tong."
Tong Le turned around, and the Female Secretary continued, "Xiao Zong Zong mentioned you would be coming to the company and asked me to wait for you here. There are some documents that require your signature."
Tong Le replied, "Documents for me to sign?"
