After Zhang Qiang's earnest persuasion, Zhao Ping's restless heart was finally calmed down temporarily. However, in fact, Zhang Qiang was also full of anxiety and confusion at this time. After all, this time, even he himself was not sure.

You know, Ran Qi had never treated him like this before! Moreover, if it was just to deceive Zhang Wei, Ran Qi should have informed him in advance according to common sense. But now? There was no news at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

In this case, how could Zhang Qiang dare to take Zhao Ping to find Ran Qi to argue? What if he ended up making things worse and the situation got even more out of control?

After much thought, Zhang Qiang finally decided to go find Ran Qi alone and tell him everything clearly.

Ran Qi must be made to clearly realize that his son and grandson are the top priorities for their family. As for Zhang Wei, she is nothing more than a "money-losing commodity" that is not worth mentioning.

However, what Zhang Qiang did not expect was that when he went to look for Ran Qi this time, Ran Qi was still the same and ruthlessly drove him out. What's worse is that Zhang Wei has not only lost her job, but is still in school.

"How can a money-loser like Zhang Wei be qualified to study? I've said long ago that I would marry her off so that I could get a generous dowry!" Zhang Qiang muttered indignantly. Although he argued with Ran Qi for a long time, he was ultimately defeated by the ruthless broom in Ran Qi's hand and was swept out of the house in a miserable state.

Zhang Qiang had no choice but to return to Zhao Ping in dismay. But this was not a long-term solution. Zhang Qiang was worried all day, fearing that Zhao Ping would find out sooner or later. Therefore, in the next few days, he visited Ran Qi repeatedly, trying to persuade him to change his mind. But every time, he was ruthlessly expelled.

At this time, Zhang Wei had already started school and was immersed in intensive course study. At first, when Zhang Qiang first came to her house, she was really terrified, after all, she knew that what Zhang Qiang said was true.

However, as time went by, seeing Ran Qi's unwavering attitude, Zhang Wei gradually developed trust in Ran Qi and was no longer as worried and afraid as she was at the beginning.

OK, here is the expansion based on the input you provided:

Ran Qi and Zhang Wei spent a quiet and warm time, away from the hustle and bustle, enjoying the peace brought by each other's company. However, at the same time, Zhang Qiang's world fell into chaos.

As time went by, Zhao Ping's belly became bigger and bigger, and her body became heavier. As the due date approached, the Li family's urging became more urgent. Zhao Ping had discussed this marriage and the gift with Zhang Qiang many times, but each time she failed to get a satisfactory answer.

Zhang Qiang had his own plans in mind. He knew very well that his current financial situation was not good and he could not meet the Li family's demands for a bride price.

So, he came up with a plan to delay. In his opinion, as long as Zhao Ping gave birth to the child smoothly, everything would be solved. After all, with the child as a bond, Zhao Ping would most likely choose to compromise and continue to stay with him. It would be much easier to deal with matters such as marriage and betrothal gifts at that time.

However, it is regrettable that Zhang Qiang's carefully planned plan ultimately failed to come true as he wished. And Zhao Ping, in fact, is not as stupid as he seems. After a period of careful observation and secret attention, Zhao Ping has already been 80% sure of the truth of the matter. It can be said that he is basically certain that Ran Qi did indeed ruthlessly drive Zhang Qiang out of the house.

At this moment, Zhao Ping could no longer suppress her anger. She widened her eyes and yelled at Zhang Qiang with a furious look on her face: "If you can't come back home and bring me all the betrothal gifts today, then our relationship is over. I will also abort the baby in my belly without hesitation!"

Zhao Ping's words were filled with righteous indignation and determination, and his ferocious look seemed to want to eat Zhang Qiang alive. Zhang Qiang was so frightened that he trembled all over, his face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead. Faced with tremendous pressure, Zhang Qiang finally chose to reveal the truth to Zhao Ping: "Oh, my aunt, please don't get angry first! Actually... Actually, I don't know what's wrong with my mother. She is determined to protect that girl who can only ruin the family. I have run home to look for her many times, but every time she kicked me out with scolding, what can I do?"

After Zhao Ping heard Zhang Qiang's explanation, she felt her heart sink as if a huge rock had hit her heart. At this moment, she clearly realized that all her previous speculations had now become cruel reality.

It turned out that Zhang Qiang had been deliberately lying to her and hiding the truth all this time. Thinking of this, Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel chilled.

Zhao Ping's face was gloomy, he bit his lips tightly, stared at Zhang Qiang coldly and said, "Okay, Zhang Qiang, I trusted you so much, but I didn't expect you to lie to me all the time! In this case, there is nothing more to say. Let me tell you, without the betrothal money, I will never marry a man like you who doesn't keep his word! Now, please disappear from my sight immediately, and we break up now!"

Of course Zhang Qiang would not be willing to break up with Zhao Ping. He truly loved Zhao Ping and wanted to live a good life with Zhao Ping.

In their previous life, after Zhang Qiang and Zhao Ping got married, the original owner and Zhang Wei helped to support them, and they lived a very good life.

But now the two of them are facing a state of disintegration. Zhang Qiang can't bear to leave Zhao Ping and begs Zhao Ping again and again.

Finally, Zhao Ping said, "If you don't want to break up, give me the betrothal gift."

"But Zhang Wei doesn't want to marry him, where can I get the money!" At this moment, Zhang Qiang hated Zhang Wei, the money-loser. Don't women have to marry someone? It doesn't matter who they marry? Zhang Wei is so hypocritical.

Zhao Ping scolded, "If she doesn't want to marry you should find a way. Does she mean she won't marry?"
