Chapter 112: Ning Yao’s Pregnant
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The second morning when Ning Qing woke up, Lu Shaoming had already gone to work. He didn’t sleep on the bed the previous night but on the sofa in the room.
Most of the grievance that Ning Qing held against him vanished. Humph, at least he had some sense!
However, Ning Qing felt heartache as well. He went for a business trip for four days and worked until late at night, and he had to sleep on the sofa as well. She was too tough on him.
Ning Qing had breakfast and went directly to the Emperor Entertainment Group.
When she reached Xu Junxi’s office, she could see three individuals fighting vigorously through the gap in his office door.
Ning Yao tugged on Xu Junxi’s sleeve as she pleaded, “Junxi, please, save my mom. My mom wouldn’t kill anyone. It must be Ning Qing who framed my mom. Please bail her out.”
Xu Junxi’s Mom pulled Ning Yao’s hand and pushed her away. “Ning Yao, your mom attempted murder. There’s solid evidence and a witness. Not can she not be bailed out, but she also can’t be saved. My Junxi won’t participate in your nonsense regarding you and your mother. You pair mother and daughter didn’t drag Junxi down deep enough?”
“‘Mom, how could you say that? I’m your daughter in law. How did my mom and I alienate you?”
“How dare you call me your mom. To begin with, I was already in disdain of your origins. I was a thousand and one percent against you passing through the gate of the Xu family. However, your mom used the share transfer contract in exchange for the marriage. Hence, I agreed to the deal. But not only did your mom’s scandal ruin the entire wedding and embarrass the family, but more importantly, we’ve yet to see a trace of the contract! This morning, the director with a different surname came to Emperor Entertainment Group and made a scene. He said that your mom hired gangsters to blackmail him and said that we are accomplices. We are now unable even to fend ourselves, let alone to look after you. How could you come and annoy Junxi further?”
Ning Yao shook her head as she pleaded, “Junxi, I have no idea about anything. It has nothing to do with me. Junxi, I’ve loved you for so many years. I’d even risked my life three years back for you. Now that my mom is locked up in the police station, can’t you just lend me a helping hand?”
Xu Junixi’s shirt was crumpled from Ning Yao’s grip and he looked in distress. “Yaoyao, how do you want me to help you? Because of the botched share transfer contract that you put together behind my back, the Emperor Entertainment Group is facing trouble internally and externally. It’s okay that my reputation is ruined but Emperor Entertainment Group is the Xu family’s property!”
“Exactly. From what I see, you are taking advantage of the fact that you saved Junxi three years ago. However, regarding your mom being involved in the share transfer contract, Junxi can’t get involved. Why don’t you go look for your dad, Ning Zhenguo?” Mother Xu asked.
Ning Yao wiped her tears and continued, “My dad has not been home for two days. I went to look for him at his office. He said he wouldn’t be bothered about anything related to my mom but that he would let her run her own course. Woo woo. What should I do now? What should I do for my mom?”
Ning Qing saw Ning Yao crying her eyes out helplessly and it occurred to her. For twenty years, Li Meiling paved the way for Ning Yao to live her life. She sheltered her and helped her remove all the obstacles. Then, Li Meiling was defeated and Ning Yao didn’t know what to do.
Heh, she wondered if Li Meiling helped Ning Yao or harmed Ning Yao.
The response of the pair of mother and son was just as she had expected. Lu Shaoming took care of the gangster and the director with a different surname stirred a great commotion. Xu Junxi was withstanding the pressure of how the outside world viewed his marriage as a deal while he was lost on how to deal with the chaos in the Emperor Entertainment Group.
He was a filial son and Emperor Entertainment Group had always been on his top priority.
Mother Xu didn’t disappoint Ning Qing. She was a chameleon after all.
Just as they were arguing in the office, Xu Junxi slammed the table and stood up as he roared, “Alright, stop it. It’s so annoying. All of you, get out!”
The two women were stunned. Then, Xu Junxi saw Ning Qing outside the door.
His expression suddenly stiffened.
Mother Xu then saw Ning Qing. Her anger was boiling and she ran to the door to open the office door. She then pointed at Ning Qing and reprimanded, “Ning Qing, how dare you come here? You’re the root of the problem! You’re the one who put us in this situation!”
Ning Qing flashed a cold smirk and slowly uttered, “Aunt Xu, please behave like a cultured person. Do not shout abuse in public like a virago.”
“You!” Mother Xu looked at many staff members walking along the corridor outside and she quickly retrieved her hand and smoothed out her mink coat.
Ning Qing glanced at the two people in the office and smiled. “When you’re unhappy, you know to cry, to blame, to feel pain. Three years ago, when I was kicked out of the house, when I was humiliated as you wished, when I was having a tough time in the entertainment circle, which of you helped me? Everything that I’ve done so far has only been the interest of everything you’ve done to me. It is the pernicious consequence of the evil deeds that you’ve done!”
Mother Xu was green in anger. Ning Yao was unhappy and she ran forward to tease, “Ning Qing, you’re arrogant now but what are you? You’re only a woman who climbed onto a rich man.”
“Rich man?” Mother Xu looked at Ning Qing in disdain. “My Junxi gave you up and you sought connection with another man? What kind of a man could you find? It’s either a man who’s old enough to be your dad or a rich man’s kid from second marriage. Sigh, so pitiful.”
“Exactly, Ning Qing, who allowed you here? This is the territory of the Xu family’s Emperor Entertainment Group. Please leave now or I’ll call the guards,” the two people who were fighting ferociously earlier were now on the same page.
Ning Qing straightened her back and she flashed a cold smile on her delicate face. There was elegance and arrogance that she was born with.
Xu Junxi saw that his mom and Ning Yao were chasing Ning Qing away. He walked to the door. Ning Qing was wearing a red shirt with black pencil pants. Her black silky hair was in a bun. She looked elegant and beautiful, with a tinge of intelligence and maturity.
Xu Junxi’s throat grew bitter. They had known one another for twenty years and they’d become so distant.
“Ning Qing, please leave,” Xu Junxi said. He didn’t want his mom and Ning Yao to humiliate her nor did he want her to see him in fix so arrogantly.
Ning Qing didn’t speak but stood where she was.
“Ning Qing, why aren’t you leaving? You really want me to call someone to chase you out, huh? Hey! Guards! Come here and chase this woman out for me!” Mother Xu shouted.
The guards walked over and were ready to take Ning Qing away.
Then, “Stop!” A huge bunch of directors walked over.
It was the Emperor Entertainment Group’s shareholder meeting. The one who spoke was the director with a different surname. He walked ahead of everybody. He was the second biggest shareholder in the company.
The director with a different surname ran over and stood by Ning Qing. He pointed a finger at Xu Junxi and the other two as he reprimanded, “I will not let it slip. Whatever the Xu Family did to my son, I’ll definitely press charges against you and make sure you are utterly discredited.”
Mother Xu reined her arrogance and quickly smiled, “Director Huang, that really has nothing to do with the Xu Family. It’s her,” Mother Xu pointed at Ning Yao. “She went crazy thinking about how to get into our Xu Family, then her mom, Li Meiling, hired the gangster to frame you.”
Ning Yao saw that Mother Xu had pointed the finger at her then she refuted, “Mom, how could you push the responsibility to me? If you didn’t want the share transfer contract, would my mom have done any of this? Didn’t you agree to the deal?”
“You!” Mother Xu was angry. She never though Ning Yao would be so inconsiderate and rash when speaking in front of so many people. She left no room for the Xu family to retain any grace in this situation.
Ning Qing looked at the two women fighting each other and it was even more ferocious than a dog fight.
Ning Yao was extremely idiotic without Li Meiling whispering in her ear.
“Enough! None of you speak anymore. Are you not embarrassed enough?” Xu Junxi let out a low bellow.
“Humph!” Director Huang humped then he bent down slightly to pass a document to Ning Qing politely, “Miss Ning, this is my transfer document. From now on, you’re the second biggest shareholder in Emperor Entertainment Group. These few shareholders are my best friends. I’ve talked to them and they will follow Miss Ning’s lead.”
“Director Huang, thank you.” Ning Qing thanked the shareholders politely.
Then, the three of them took a sharp breath. Xu Junxi’s face grew grave while Mother Xu and Ning Yao’s eyes opened wide in disbelief.
“Ning Qing, you...” Mother Xu stammered.
“What’s wrong with me? Aunt Xu, that’s right, believe what you heard. Director Huang transferred his shares to me. I am now the second biggest shareholder in the company. I came here today to join the shareholders meeting.”
“What, how did you... How did you obtain stock ownership?”
“Oh, that’s simple. Just as Ning Yao said, I live off a money bag but I disappointed Aunt Xu. This man is much better than Junxi. He took care of share transfer contract easily and gifted me half of Emperor Entertainment Group,” Ning Qing said proudly as she blinked playfully.
Mother Xu had yet to truly grasp the situation and she fell two steps backwards.
She never thought Ning Qing, who’d silently taken her humiliation three years ago, would become the second biggest shareholder in the company. In other words, Ning Qing running riot above her.
“Mom!” Xu Junxi held his mom.
Then, a secretary walked over. “Miss Ning, this is the information for today’s shareholders meeting. Please read it through to see if there are any problems.”
Ning Qing didn’t take the document.
Xu Junxi’s face was extremely unhappy, even the veins on his forehead had begun to show. It was absurd that Lu Shaoming gave Ning Qing all these shares of the company as a present.
Lu Shaoming was giving him a heavy slap to the face.
“Ning Qing, why didn’t you take the information?” Xu Junxi looked at Ning Qing in distress. He had always been arrogant. But then, his arrogance and dignity was trampled on by Lu Shaoming.
Ning Qing looked calmly at the secretary and spoke elegantly. “Inform everyone that the shareholders meeting today is cancelled!”
“What? Why?” Xu Junxi asked closely.
Ning Qing moved her body lazily and smiled, “CEO Xu, how dare you ask me why? Ever since three months ago you brought your fiancee back to the country, you have been in the midst of scandal. You first put yourself between two sisters. Then, you were involved in that car sex incident. After that, your wedding erupted in chaos. You’ve already affected the image of Emperor Entertainment Group greatly. Over the past three months, the share price has fallen by fifteen percent. You alone dragged the entire board of directors down. I would like to ask CEO Xu, what do you do for the Emperor Entertainment Group?”
Xu Junxi didn’t reply. He clenched his fists as his eyes grew red.
She was humiliating him!
Ning Qing looked at Xu Junxi calmly. She raised her beautiful eyebrows and said casually, “I hope that CEO Xu will reflect on his past during this time. If you can’t be up to your position as the CEO of Emperor Entertainment Group, why not give up the throne and make way for a more worthy candidate!”
After she spoke, she turned to leave. The group of shareholders left behind Ning Qing.
“Hey, don’t leave, don’t leave!” Mother Xu saw that the shareholders listened to what Ning Qing said but forgot about her son’s existence so she panicked. She ran next to Ning Qing and tugged her sleeve. “Hehe.” She tried to ingratiate herself with Ning Qing. “Qingqing, let’s discuss things. Actually, for the past three years, I have been thinking about you. I’ve never disapproved of you entering the Xu family. All this while, I’ve thought Qingqing as my only daughter in law.”
“Heh, hehe...” Ning Qing chuckled and pulled her sleeve back.
“Mom, don’t speak anymore!” Xu Junxi walked over quickly and pulled his mom aside. Today, all of his dignity had been thrown out by his mother.
He looked up at Ning Qing. The girl’s brown eyes were crystal clear and the way she looked at his mom was disdainful.
Then, Ning Yao ran over. She pulled Mother Xu’s hand emotionally, “Mom, what do you mean? I am your daughter in law. How can you talk to Ning Qing like that?”
Mother Xu had nowhere to vent her anger and pak, she slapped Ning Yao.
“Your evil deed. It is you. It is you and your mom who ruined Xu Family. If Junxi were to marry Qingqing... Who are you? You are just an illegitimate child born of a mistress.
Xu Junxi felt helpless. Before all the shareholders, before Ning Qing, his mom and Ning Yao were like two clowns. They were a joke.
Now he was a joke too.
Ning Qing had no interest in watching the two women fighting one another. She smirked and turned to leave.
But she had yet to take another step before dong, Ning Yao fainted on the ground.
“Yaoyao, Yaoyao.” Xu Junxi went forward and carried a pale Ning Yao into his arms. He shouted, “Call an ambulance. Quick, call an ambulance!”
...
In the hospital.
The doctor congratulated Xu Junxi, “Mister, congratulations! The patient has been pregnant for forty days. Recently, she was emotionally unstable. That’s why she fainted. In the future, try not to provoke her.”
Xu Junxi stunned. Pregnant?
Actually, he never thought of having any children with Ning Yao. He always used protection when they were together. However, as he wasn’t in a good mood recently because of Ning Qing, he was always drinking and he had done it quite frequently with Ning Yao. When he was drunk, he never thought of using protection either. He thought Ning Yao would take medication after. He never thought she would be pregnant.
Ning Yao, who lay on the hospital bed, hugged Xu Junxi’s waist and cheered, “Junxi, that’s great. I have your child. This is the fruit of our love. This is our first baby!”
Xu Junxi stiffened and didn’t respond.
Ning Yao then looked at Mother Xu by her side. “Mom, I am pregnant with your grandchild, the bloodline of the Xu family!”
Mother Xu didn’t look too good. She didn’t like Ning Yao. After what happened at the office, she hated Ning Yao even more. However, Ning Yao was pregnant with Xu’s child. Her first grandchild.
She still wanted her grandchild.
“Fine, rest well here. Give birth to my healthy grandchild.”
