maternity hospital

At 02:30, the guests left the table one after another, He Quan also wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but Zheng Zhiqing kept holding his hand under the table.There was no chance to announce the two of them at the banquet just now, and relatives and friends came over one by one. Zheng Zhiqing drank a lot of wine, and now his face was flushed.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, Brother Yu, I have something to say." When there was no one else in the hall except the waiter who cleared the tables, Zheng Zhiqing pulled He Quan to stand up.Seeing that he was shaking a little, He Quan quietly supported his back with his hands, and lowered his eyes not to look at the various expressions of the Zheng family.

Zheng Zhiqing patted his arm to indicate that he was fine, and then said to his family: "Ah Quan and I are together now and plan to get married this year. Let's make an announcement while everyone is here today."

He Quan looked at Zheng Zhiqing in a bewildered expression——drink too much, you, who promised you to get married this year?

Xu Yuan forced a smile, Zheng Zhijie's expression was a little subtle, He Yu kept smiling at He Quan, while Zheng Jianping remained calm.After a while, the head of the family knocked on the table, signaling He Quan to sit down with Zheng Zhiqing.

"Marriage is an important matter, not a trifling matter." Zheng Jianping nodded at He Quan, "Director He, when Mr. Qi is discharged from the hospital, you can make an appointment with him for me, and I will bring my wife to propose marriage."

Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

"No need, Mr. Zheng, I can make my own decisions." He Quan took a deep breath, raised his eyes and glanced at everyone present, "You must know that I am not close to Grandpa, and everything in Huayitang I'm fine. I'm an ordinary person. Even if I marry Zhiqing in the future, it won't bring any other benefits to the Zheng family. I don't understand finance, and I can't help Zhiqing in terms of business management, so please don't treat me badly. Too many expectations."

"Ah Quan?" Zheng Zhiqing didn't expect He Quan to say such a thing, and subconsciously clenched the other's hand.

No one else said anything, only Zheng Jianping smiled and asked: "Director He, do you think my old Zheng married his daughter-in-law for money?"

He Quan was taken aback.

Zheng Jianping held his wife's hand on the table.

"When I was in the hardest time, every day when I opened my eyes, I had to think, who would I borrow money from today? There were hundreds of mouths waiting to eat in the factory. Zhijie was still young, and Zhiqing was still in his mother's stomach. What I fear most every day is going home. The pharmaceutical factory is facing bankruptcy, and when I go home to my wife, children and old mother, I feel very useless.”

Xu Yuan sighed slightly beside her, she remembered those days.The entire hospital has been restructured, foreign capital has entered strongly, the market has undergone drastic changes, all original customers have been lost, and there is a huge backlog of inventory with nowhere to sell.Agents from all over the country also defaulted on the payment due to the impact, but the money recovered was a drop in the bucket.Zheng Jianping borrowed money everywhere to maintain, but it was only enough to pay the workers' minimum wage.Even so, cash flow is about to be cut off.

"It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. But I, a silly daughter-in-law, can't live without my natal family's good life, so I have to suffer with me." Zheng Jianping looked sideways at Xu Yuan, his eyes full of love, " I sold the jewelry and the real estate that my father-in-law gave her as a dowry. She was pregnant with Liujia and helped me borrow money everywhere. One year, she helped me fight for a year, and now I have the Zheng family... married couple, see you in adversity truth."

Seeing that Xu Yuan's eyes were red, He Yu hurriedly handed her the clean gauze handkerchief prepared for Guan Guan.

Zheng Jianping patted his wife's hand, and turned his attention to He Quan: "Director He, I hope Zhiqing can find a partner with a rich family background. That's right, the market is changing, and the bigger the company is, the more pressure it will have to operate. Big. As a parent, I don't want my sons to suffer the hardships I suffered back then, can you understand that?"

He Quan nodded.

"But in fact, that's not the most important thing. I've figured it out now. If you lose money, you can make it again. The road is made by people." Zheng Jianping smiled, and glanced at the juniors at the table one by one, "I tell you As for this matter, I hope that you all cherish the people around you. He Yu, He Quan, it’s not that I, Old Zheng, are boasting. Compared with their second-generation ancestors, my two sons are definitely this.”

Seeing his father giving a thumbs up, the brothers of the Zheng family looked at each other and smiled.

Zheng Jianping signaled them not to be proud with his eyes: "Of course, they also have their shortcomings. The boss has a bad temper, and the second child is too boring. No one is perfect, right? He Yu, wait for this year's Spring Festival, you and Zhijie will bring you With your parents and Guan Guan, go to New Zealand to play, it’s warm. The cost is mine, so it’s a compensation to my in-laws.”

"Dad, no need, I have money myself..." He Yu waved his hand embarrassingly, "Don't worry, my parents and the others... don't blame Zhijie."

"Then why don't you go home? I also want to see my granddaughter every day." Zheng Jianping turned to He Quan as he spoke, "Director He, in fact... I asked Zhijie to find you ten years ago. Knowing that you are the grandson of Mr. Qi... Hey, I never asked your name at that time. It was only when my wife mentioned it recently that I realized that it was you who was by Zhiqing's side back then. I never thought that it would delay you and Zhiqing for ten years , to say sorry to you."

Biting the inside of his lip, He Quan subconsciously tightened the seam of his trousers. The apology came too late and could not save anything.Although Zheng Zhiqing drank a little too much, his mind was clear. Hearing this, he frowned suspiciously.

"Dad, you asked brother to find Ah Quan?"

"Yes, I asked Zhijie to keep your passport after arriving in the United States." Zheng Jianping shook his head regretfully, "It's because I underestimated you young people, and always felt that your love is like a child's play... ..."

Zheng Zhiqing stood up abruptly, bringing the cups, plates and bowls on the table to collide with each other with a crisp sound.

"Zhiqing!" He Quan hurriedly grabbed his arm.Zheng Zhiqing can't control her emotions when she drinks too much, so don't—

"Playing house!? Dad! I almost had a family! When you asked my brother to let me go back to China, your grandson was already ten years old!"

Everyone looked at him in shock, Guan Guan was frightened by his uncle's sudden cry and burst into tears.

He Quan let go of Zheng Zhiqing's hand, got up and left the hall quickly.

"A Quan! A Quan!"

Zheng Zhiqing ran to the corridor in a messy pace - it was okay when he was sitting, but it was not the case when he was sitting.He pressed down on the door of the elevator that was about to close, squeezed in and grabbed He Quan's arm: "I'm sorry, I just——"

"You're sick!" He Quan shook him off forcefully, took two steps back to distance himself from Zheng Zhiqing, his face was full of anger, "Do you want to tear my face off in front of your parents?!"

"No—Ah Quan—Ah Quan, listen to me—" Zheng Zhiqing slapped his forehead vigorously—he was drunk, dizzy—and then grabbed He Quan's shoulder and half-arched his body to pant heavily, "I always thought it was My brother made his own decision, but I didn't expect it to be my father's idea... Ah Quan, I'm sorry... I lost my temper..."

"Whether it's your father or your brother, the child is our business, what has it to do with them!" He Quan pushed Zheng Zhiqing away with so much force that he hit the inner wall of the elevator.Seeing Zheng Zhiqing frowning and raising his hands to cover the back of his head, He Quan was so angry that he didn't want to control him.

"Zheng Dabai, let me tell you, from now on, don't expect me to enter the door of your Zheng family!"

After leaving the words, He Quan rushed out of the slowly opening elevator door, almost bumping into the person who was about to come in.Seeing He Quan, the man ran away without apologizing, cursed in a low voice, but turned around and was bumped by Zheng Zhiqing.

Chasing all the way out of the hotel, Zheng Zhiqing saw that He Quan was not wearing a coat, and was standing on the side of the road with his arms folded waiting for a rental, so he hurriedly took off his suit jacket and wrapped him up.His own legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, so he could only half lean on He Quan's back and rely on him for support.Seeing that he was only wearing a shirt, the wind would blow through, and the anger in his heart was half extinguished.

Zheng Zhiqing's brain was completely paralyzed by alcohol at this moment, and she couldn't form a decent language, so she kept babbling "Don't be angry, Ah Quan" and "Ah Quan, don't be angry".

Reaching out to hail a taxi, He Quan stuffed Zheng Zhiqing into the back seat first, then sat in the passenger seat by himself, hesitated for a moment, and reported Zheng Zhiqing's home address.

Drunk, don't spit on him even if you spit!

When she opened her eyes, she had a splitting headache. After a while, Zheng Zhiqing realized that she had fallen asleep while leaning against the cabinet under the sink in the bathroom.The ground was in a mess, and his clothes and ties were also stained. He tore off the ties with great effort and threw them into the laundry basket, standing up while leaning on the edge of the sink.

Pushing open the bathroom door, he saw Zheng Zhijie sitting on the sofa by the bed and looking at his mobile phone.

"Brother, am I your real brother?" Zheng Zhiqing pointed back, "Can't you put me on the bed?"

"You vomited yourself like that, didn't you dirty the sheets after helping you to bed?" Zheng Zhijie was confident.

Rubbing her face vigorously, Zheng Zhiqing leaned against the door frame, unable to remember how she got home.His memory stayed at the node when he announced to his family that he was with He Quan, and after that, it was blank.

"Where's Ah Quan?" He asked.

"I don't know, you were alone when I came." Zheng Zhijie put away his phone, got up and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water and handed it to Zheng Zhiqing, "Given your performance in the hotel, I'm not surprised he would dump you .”

Zheng Zhiqing spent a long time before unscrewing the bottle cap, poured half a bottle of water and asked, "What did I do?"

"You said you two had children once."

"puff--"

The remaining half bottle of water was sprayed firmly on Zheng Zhijie's shirt.Zheng Zhijie gave him an annoyed look, then turned around and pulled out a pile of paper towels to wipe the water stains vigorously.Zheng Zhiqing was stunned for 5 minutes before realizing the smell, and quickly touched her body.

"Brother, have you seen my phone?"

"No." Zheng Zhijie took out his mobile phone from his pocket and gave it to him, "Use mine first."

Zheng Zhiqing called He Quan with her mobile phone, and walked around the room anxiously while waiting for the connection, rubbing her eyes while walking.The phone rang off and no one answered.He hit it twice more, still the same.After thinking about it, he turned on the light in the cloakroom, took out a set of casual clothes and threw it on the bed.

"Why would I say that?" Zheng Zhiqing asked while changing into clean clothes.

Zheng Zhijie narrated the matter exactly, and then said: "Dad was also stimulated, and he lay down when he got home."

"This wine really shouldn't be drunk!" Zheng Zhiqing slammed the dirty clothes on the ground, "Lend me the car, I'll go to Ah Quan."

"Don't go, He Quan's temper, you go now and you will be beaten out by him." Zheng Zhijie grabbed his younger brother's arm and pushed him back to the bed, and raised his chin against the wall clock, "It's two o'clock in the morning, and I'm sleeping , what are you not happy about?"

Zheng Zhiqing sat down on the edge of the bed, bent over, inserted her fingers into her hair, and tightly pinched her scalp.

"What the hell is going on? He beat the kid?"

"Miscarried, overworked."

"Stubborn enough..." Zheng Zhijie shook his head, "I didn't say anything about such a big thing, and I even left him my cell phone number."

"He didn't even tell me, so can he tell you?" Zheng Zhiqing closed his eyes and sighed, "He specifically told me not to tell this matter, lest mom and dad would look down on him."

Zheng Zhijie patted him on the shoulder: "Thinking too much, Mom is a little conservative, but Dad won't. You too, drink a little wine to get high, and high to drink crazy."

"I'm happy, thinking I can tell my family about Ah Quan..."

"Well, it's already like this. Tomorrow... Hey, it's fucking today. You and He Quan have a good talk. What Dad means is that you can get it together quickly. I'm sorry for him once, don't make any more stories. .”

"What's wrong? Don't you know Ah Quan's temper? It's a miracle that he can talk to me within a month!" Zheng Zhiqing picked up Zheng Zhijie's cell phone and threw it on the bed, "He won't answer when you hit him with your cell phone!"

Zheng Zhijie frowned, put the phone back in his pocket: "Let He Yu talk to him?"

"Brother Yu still has to take Guan Guan, why bother him..." Zheng Zhiqing shook his head.

"Family, don't tell me it's troublesome." Zheng Zhijie sat next to his younger brother, put his hands on his shoulders, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "He Yu promised to remarry me."

Zheng Zhiqing turned her head to the side with a very tangled expression.

"Brother, for the sake of me being your own brother, don't fucking show off."
