Her tummy was getting bigger by the day, but the father of her child would go to jail soon .
Mu Li could fathom her thoughts, and she walked over to her and sat down . Clutching her hands between hers, she said, “Qianqian, both you and Xuxu are too skinny . You've got to eat more . ”
It's of no use telling her not to fret over other matters .
Her husband would be in jail soon, and she was definitely worried and anxious over it .
She shifted her gaze to Jiang Qinglian and was about to move her lips . But seeing her cold and expressionless face, she didn't know what else to say to her .
Regardless of what she would say, she's sure she won't hear of it either .
It was also pointless to offer her any words of consolation .
“First sister-in-law,” Yan Weihong addressed her with his usual deep voice as he stepped in .
“Both of you are finally back,” Jiang Qinglian nonchalantly responded to Yan Weihong . She then turned to look at Jin Qianqian . “Qianqian, I'm going up first . ”
She stood up and walked towards the staircase .
Mu Li pressed her lips together and looked helpless as she watched Jiang Qinglian from behind .
Next, she shifted her gaze to Yan Weihong .
Yan Weihong was just about to turn, and he looked at her and their eyes met . He gave a slight nod and quickly trailed after Jiang Qinglian .
“First sister-in-law, let's have a talk . ”
Yan Weihong spoke as he ascended the stairs .
Jiang Qinglian halted her steps at the corner of the stairway, and she turned back to look at Yan Weihong . Her expression was cold as usual . “Weihong, what's there to talk about? I'm not making things difficult for anyone . I just don't want to spend my life with Yan Weiye anymore . Can't I at least do that?”
She got emotional as she spoke . “Or should I say, you're afraid that I'll withdraw my shares from the Yan family and implicate Third Yan's position as the President of Flourish & Prosper?”
Yan Weihong understood the emotional state she was going through, inevitably, she would spew harsh words . He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “Do you think Mu Li, Third Yan or myself would care about this?”
All these years, he and Mu Li never spent a single cent from Flourish & Prosper .
Jiang Qinglian retorted, “Then, there's no issue already . ”
After that, she raised her feet and walked towards her room .
Yan Weihong's exhortation sounded from behind . “Flourish & Prosper was established during my grandfather's era and it's the estate of our Yan family . Under my mother's hands, it grew strong and achieved great heights and glory . So I hope that you'll reconsider your decision . ”
They weren't concerned about Flourish & Prosper's returns, but the name Flourish & Prosper belonged to the Yan family, and it's important for them to guard and protect it .
Hearing this, Jiang Qinglian stopped in her tracks once more and turned back to sneer at Yan Weihong . “Why? What are you afraid of?”
She clenched her fists and her body briefly trembled .
Tomorrow was the start of the court case, and they still do not know what her son would be facing . Yet, they still had the mood to talk to her about Flourish & Prosper and the Yan family's estate .
Yan Weihong's expression turned cold . “First sister-in-law, I know that First brother had done you wrong . But I'm sure you're also aware of how mother had treated you and Mu Li . ”
In terms of character, Yan Rusheng was similar to him .
They always drew a clear line between work and personal matters .
Regarding his nephew's possible jail term, his mood wasn't exactly pretty too .
But Flourish & Prosper was equally important because its achievements didn't come overnight . Since the elderly lady had handed Flourish & Prosper to Third Yan, it shouldn't be destroyed while it was in his hands . Otherwise, he would also be deemed a sinner who'd have committed perhaps, an even greater sin than Yan Runan .
Jiang Qinglian nodded . “Mother had always been fair towards Mu Li and me, and I'm fully aware of that . ”
