Chapter 13: Sent to the Li Family


This was tantamount to keeping the promise. The only delay was in obtaining the marriage certificate, and the person was now considered part of the Li family.


Jiang Zhong's eagerness made Li Zhenhai feel that he still had some sincerity left.


"Since that's the case, I'll trust you one more time and give you another chance."


Jiang Zhong quickly lowered his posture, rubbing his hands, "Then, Mr. Li, let's find a place outside to have a good meal and discuss things."


"Fine."


The group headed outside.


Zhang Lanmei held Jiang Chencheng's wrist, occasionally looking at her. At this moment, she felt both inexplicably worried and conflicted about this child.


But there was no room for mistakes in this matter.


Jiang Zhong didn't mention the earlier events, not wanting to complicate things further. Now that the decision had been made to give the girl to the Li family, they just had to wait for Li Zhenhai to approve the company's project and allocate funds, and the company could overcome the crisis.


Li Zhenhai immediately helped him settle the outstanding debts on the spot, showing sincerity in taking the girl into his family.


As for the remaining matters, they would have to be dealt with one by one.


"If she becomes pregnant, everything will be fine. Your company can withstand another two or three months."


Jiang Zhong naturally agreed.


"Young people, these matters happen quickly."


Making a joke, after finishing the meal, they personally sent the girl to the Li family, concluding the matter.


Jiang Zhong drove back home, but Zhang Lanmei felt uneasy.


"Is it right for us to just hand Chenchen over like this? Will this child resent us!?"


"Why think so much? Li Zhenhai is a well-known figure in the capital. She'll be better off in their home than in a mental hospital! She should be grateful to us!"


Jiang Zhong was in a good mood, humming a tune while tapping the steering wheel, "Oh, by the way, I have some business at the company tonight. You don't need to prepare dinner for me. I might come back late. Just go to sleep, don't worry about me."


Zhang Lanmei hesitated but ultimately said nothing.


...


It was dark.


Li Zhenhai wanted to settle the matter tonight. However, his son Huidong had been crying since he came back because he was denied ice cream. After crying all afternoon, he fell asleep just as it got dark.


Madam Li, Yu Lian, didn't want to disturb her son's sleep, so she asked her husband not to rush things.


"Since the person is already in our home, what's there to worry about running away?"


Li Zhenhai took off his coat, "Huidong is sleeping. What about the girl?"


Yu Lian took his coat, "Don't worry, Chenchen is in his room too. She's not sleeping, sitting by the window, looking outside quietly."


Li Zhenhai thought for a moment, "Let's wait for her to adapt for a couple of days. Anyway, we can't delay this matter."


"I know, I know. I'm anxious about it too."


Late at night, Mr. and Mrs. Li were already asleep.


Huidong woke up hungry and saw a person in the room, thinking it was his mother. He called out for her.


Jiang Chenchen, who was leaning on the windowsill, looking at the dark night outside, ignored him.


Huidong got out of bed, walked to her, and, with a teary voice, said, "I want ice cream."


Even though he was nearly thirty years old, he was a big guy, but his speech and expressions were as childish as a four or five-year-old.


Hearing his request, Jiang Chenchen turned to look at him. She also wanted ice cream.


"Do you have money?"


She asked with difficulty.


He replied in a childish manner, "I have money. Wait a moment."


He took out one fifty and two one-hundred-yuan bills from the piggy bank in the room.


"Is it enough?"


Jiang Chenchen took the money and nodded.


"Wait."


She left the room, and there were car keys on the table by the door.


After thinking for a moment, she took the keys, closed the door behind her, and went outside into the chilly wind.


Closing the door, she got into the car.


She had driven a car when she was abroad. That person had taught her.
