It's so late, who could be coming...

Jiang Tong went to open the door.

"Wow, sister-in-law!" Li Qinghe cried very sadly, hugged Jiang Tong's neck and buried her head in her shoulders.

Jiang Tong frowned, pulled Li Qinghe in, and asked her what was wrong? What happened?

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"

"How have you done me wrong again?" Jiang Tong asked back, and she suddenly pulled Li Qinghe's arm away.

He looked at her somewhat seriously.

Li Qinghe wiped away her tears, bit her lip and said, "My brother took me to my mother's place yesterday and confessed to her that I was pregnant before marriage."

"Which brother are you?" Jiang Tong asked hurriedly.

"My dear brother."

"Oh," Jiang Tong thought it was Li Jingchen. She thought he had returned to the Southern Emperor. She poured a glass of water for Li Qinghe and asked, "And then? Go on."

Li Qinghe sat on the sofa. "Then, my parents are divorced. After I told my mother about my situation, my brother took me to my father's place. You know, my father lives with my grandfather. I thought I would wait until my grandfather fell asleep before talking to him. But he woke up and asked me what was wrong. I didn't dare to ask him because I was afraid of upsetting him. Then I used you as a shield."

Jiang Tong was stunned. What kind of shield was he using her as? !

"I told grandpa that you and my eldest brother are not remarrying!"

Li Qinghe didn't dare look at Jiang Tong. She lowered her head guiltily and twirled her fingers.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to say it. I was afraid that grandpa would beat me. I didn't want to tell him, but he kept asking me if anything happened. I was so anxious that I told him about you and my eldest brother. Grandpa was very angry and said he would call my eldest brother."

Li Qinghe finished telling the story and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Tong crying.

She thought Jiang Tong was angry with her, so Li Qinghe knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

She was afraid that Jiang Tong would ignore her. At this moment, she felt really guilty because Jiang Tong had always been very nice to her.

"Get up now." Jiang Tong wiped away her tears and said calmly, "I've said it, how is grandpa now?"

"It's nothing. Grandpa's mood has stabilized. There are no serious consequences."

"That's fine. It's good that you said it," Jiang Tong said, "There was no possibility for your brother and I to be together in the first place. It's good that Grandpa knew it earlier. The truth will come out sooner or later."

Sooner or later you'll know.

Li Qinghe blinked and asked, "Sister-in-law, is it true that you and my elder brother can't remarry?"

"Yes, I can't." Jiang Tong went to the refrigerator and got a few cans of beer, and drank with Li Qinghe.

She was in a bad mood today, and Li Qinghe was also in a bad mood, so the two of them drank together.

Jiang Tong asked where Li Xixi was. Li Qinghe said that Li Xixi was being taken care of by Li Dongzan and she would not be going back today.

"Since I had Xixi, I've been under so much pressure, sister-in-law. My mom knows about my situation. She keeps scolding me, asking how could I do such a thing. She almost disowned me. I cried all day yesterday. Look at my eyes, they're still swollen. My dad doesn't know about Xixi yet, but he will find out sooner or later, and I'll be scolded again."

Just like Jiang Tong said, truth cannot be hidden.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you say anything?" Li Qinghe cried and looked at Jiang Tong who was just drinking.

Jiang Tong was drinking, and somehow tears were streaming down her face. Li Qinghe was shaking her arm, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Then he said, "It's not a big deal. Even if your parents knew that you are their biological child, they can't really do anything to you."

"That being said, I'm still under a lot of pressure." Li Qinghe, a little girl, sniffed.

"Sister-in-law, now I finally understand how difficult it is for you to hide it from your child. It's painful to hide it, and it's painful to be honest. It seems that it will be painful no matter what."

"You're right, it's painful no matter what," Jiang Tong and Li Qinghe clinked their glasses, "Then let's turn the pain into motivation. This is life, we have to face it with a smile!"

In the adult world, is there anything easy about it?

"Cheers, sister-in-law—"

Tonight, Li Qinghe and Jiang Tong were drunk.

……

On the other side, Singapore.

A private high-end hospital.

Li Jingchen's expression was very serious. He asked the doctor in front of him seriously...

What were the results of his examination?

"Mr. Li, your EEG test report has come out. According to your various test results, there is no problem with your brain. You did not inherit it from your mother. At present, there is no problem with your psychology."

Li Jingchen said, "Really?", his expression did not seem relieved, but rather more solemn.

Although he did not inherit Zheng Yan's genes, he did not regret telling Jiang Tong that he wanted to break up.

As long as she and the child are fine.

He doesn't have to remarry.

"Mr. Li, I think your father must have a strong and resolute heart, so you are also a very strong person. Your mother's situation is very special. I think she can still be saved. The trauma buried in her heart many years ago is like a seed of darkness buried in her heart. As long as her heart knot is untied, I believe she can open her heart. However, this process is very difficult and she can only rely on herself."

"Mr. Li? Mr. Li?"

Amid the doctor's confusion, Li Jingchen came back to his senses. He had been thinking about Jiang Tong and was distracted.

"I see. I will talk to my mother again and ask her to receive treatment as soon as possible."

"Okay, treatment is only an auxiliary measure. The first step is to hope that your mother can face her own problems."

Li Jingchen frowned, he understood.

After leaving the hospital, although Li Jingchen was not sick, he couldn't help but smoke another cigarette in the car.

He broke up with Jiang Tong because he couldn't guarantee that Jiang Tong would not be hurt again by Zheng Yan.

The two families once went to court, and he has never forgotten Jiang Tong's words, tears, and accusations.

As her former husband, he knew that Jiang Tong really wanted a sincere apology from Zheng Yan, but he was powerless to do such a simple thing.

He couldn't get his mother to approve of his lover.

How can I give her happiness?

The more Li Jingchen thought about it, the harder he beat...

…………

The next day.

After Jiang Tong woke up the next day, she sent the hungover Li Qinghe back home and went to the company.

We both drank a lot last night, and the alcohol numbed the pain of the whole night. Today we feel much better, but we still have to live our lives.

You can't risk your life for love every day.

Li Qinghe returned home and called Jiang Tong to remind her that her grandfather would probably come to see her!

Jiang Tong hummed. Because Li Qinghe had given her a heads-up, she wasn't surprised at all when she received a call from the old man...
