But now, although she was getting married, everything was far from what Qiao Jierou had expected. How could she accept this?
âIâm going to smoke a cigarette before the check-up.â Lin Heng left after saying this.
Qiao Jierou clenched her fists tightly. How could this be?
âJierou.â Mrs. Lin walked toward Qiao Jierou.
âAunt.â Qiao Jierou quickly smiled at her. Although MRs. Lin had tricked her last time, she was Lin Hengâs mother, after all. Qiao Jierou still had to show respect on the surface.
She could only hide the hatred in her heart while putting a smile on her face. Recently, she had been having to pretend even harder than usual.
Mrs. Lin took out a document from her bag and handed it to her. âTake a look at this and sign it.â
Qiao Jierou immediately picked it up and saw that it was a prenuptial property agreement. The assets of the two of them were listed on it, and the expenses after marriage were to be split evenly.
She had other motives for marrying Lin Heng apart from love. The Lin familyâs assets and connections in the entire Jingdu City were higher than the Qiao familyâs. She would be marrying into a rich family.
However, with this agreement, this marriage was essentially useless. Marrying Lin Heng would not bring her any benefit!
There wasnât even a wedding ceremony!
The Lin family wasnât taking her seriously at all!
âAunt, why are you doing this?â Qiao Jierou asked.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, âYour and Lin Hengâs careers are developing quite well now. Even so, feelings are feelings. We have to make things clear when it comes to careers. That way, we canât prevent you two from getting too involved in things you shouldnât and hurting each other. But regardless of this agreement, youâll be husband and wife. You have to support each other in the future. Be it Lin Heng or our Lin family, weâll definitely take good care of you.â
She was smiling, but her tone was very arrogant. It was very different from before.
Qiao Jierou looked at this unfamiliar face in front of her and recalled that when Mrs. Lin trampled on Qiao Weiyang previously, she had the same attitude. However, at that time, Qiao Weiyang had never yielded except for maintaining politeness on the surface.
It was probably because Mrs. Lin couldnât get things done her way with Qiao Weiyang that she liked her instead.
She now understood that Mrs. Lin merely wanted to choose a suitable daughter-in-law. She was just choosing someone who was willing to be subservient to her and was willing to sacrifice for her and her son!
What a joke. She thought she was qualified, but in the end, she was just a tool that others could throw away whenever they wanted.
To think that she had rushed over in front of them and put in so much effort, only to end up like this.
âSo does Brother Heng know about this?â Qiao Jierou asked. She already had an answer in her heart, but she still wanted to lie to herself.
âHeâs my son. I naturally have to ask for his permission.â
Qiao Jierouâs heart was completely broken. So that was how it was.
What had she been working for all these years?!
âSign it,â Mrs. Lin said.
There was no emotion in her tone, and she clearly had no feelings for Qiao Jierou.
âWhat if I donât sign it?â
Mrs. Lin said, âThen thereâs no need to get married.â
Her heartless tone was filled with arrogance.
If it were any other time, Qiao Jierou might have refused to sign it.
But now, there was nothing she could do. The debt, the management contract, the issue of resources, her family, the plagiarism scandal⊠Everything was pressing down on her, leaving her with no way out.
This was the only choice she had.
She endured the humiliation and took the document from Mrs. Lin.
Xiao Qing, who was standing at the side, could not help but say happily, âWeiyang, did you see that?â
âI saw it,â Qiao Weiyang said helplessly. From the moment Xiao Qing came out of the examination room, she had dragged her here to watch the drama between Qiao Jierou and Mrs. Lin.
Fortunately, this location was very hidden, so Qiao Jierou and the others couldnât see them. Otherwise, people would think that Qiao Weiyang still cared about them.
âThis is too awesome! Qiao Jierou didnât expect herself to end up like this, did she? Really, karmaâs a b*tch. Back then, she snatched Lin Heng from you. The Lin family is such a lousy family, but she still insisted. Now, thereâs no wedding and no assets. The expenses will be split evenly and she even has to sign a prenuptial agreement. These are all Qiao Jierouâs blessings!â
âLetâs go.â Qiao Weiyang didnât care what would happen to Qiao Jierou.
She did not care about anything that had nothing to do with her.
However, Xiao Qing was indeed very happy. She felt happy for Qiao Weiyang from the bottom of her heart. âThey spoiled her and let her be. Look at how sheâs ended up now. She rose to great heights only to collapse miserably. This is awesome! We should drink to celebrate!â
âForget it. Tell me the results of the examination just now.â
âThe doctor said that the fetus isnât very stable. He prescribed medicine for me to take. I usually feel fine as long as I rest well. I feel that my condition is not bad. It shouldnât be a problem.â
âThen Iâll send you back. Have a good rest when you get home.â Qiao Weiyang was still worried about her health.
âNo, no, no. Iâve already told Shen Mubei that Iâll treat you and that person from your family to a meal today,â Xiao Qing said. âThe table has been reserved. We canât not go. Just treat it as a celebration for my marriage, okay?â
Seeing that she had arranged everything, Qiao Weiyang had no choice but to agree. âOkay, then promise me that youâll have a simple meal and then go back to rest, okay?â
âOkay!â Xiao Qing took Qiao Weiyangâs arm and got into the car.
Qiao Weiyang did want to see Shen Mubeiâs current attitude toward Xiao Qing. Since this was a good opportunity, she did not want to waste it.
She also called Su Zhuoqian and asked him to come over for dinner.
When the two of them arrived, Shen Mubei and Su Zhuoqian had yet to arrive.
Qiao Weiyang touched her belly. âYou need to remember to take care of yourself and the baby.â
âI realized that youâve become naggy after I got pregnant,â Xiao Qing said. âAre you still the Qiao Weiyang I know?â
âPregnant women need someone to take care of them, especially someone like you.â
âIâm fine, arenât I? The preparations for the wedding are going well, and I have a child. Iâve gotten what I wanted. But let me tell you, when it comes to marriage, Iâm really quite afraidâŠâ
Qiao Weiyang felt her uneasiness and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âItâs nothing. Itâs just a feeling. Sometimes, when I think of marriage, I feel that itâll complete my life. But sometimes, I feel like escaping. Iâd ask myself why Iâm getting married so early and why did I want this child? Do you understand? Many times, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I think that it would be great if these things didnât happen. Sometimes, I just feel afraidâŠâ
Qiao Weiyang understood her feelings. âYouâre just worried about personal gains and losses. Itâs normal. Many people have premarital anxiety. You have to think about good things.â
