Chapter 34: Who Made My Stomach Big?

"My life is so bitter! My husband passed away early because of the factory, leaving me and my child alone. I struggled to raise my son, only to have outsiders humiliate us like this. My heart is cold, Old Sun, why didn’t you take me with you?"

Stepmother Sun beat her chest and stomped her feet on the ground, her wails so loud that the entire security department could only hear her.

Tong Fang, feeling compassionate, stepped forward and said, "Comrade Xie, how about letting it go? The old lady has had a hard life too."

Xie Feifei rolled her eyes. "Does that mean my life is easy? I was deceived by Sun Zailiang and almost became the third party in a relationship. Finally, after everything was clarified, the mother and son keep hounding me like glue! They even claim that Sun Zailiang and Zhao Qing are innocent and that there’s nothing between them! Last time, in front of so many people, they admitted they were in a relationship and even kissed. How can they still claim innocence? Whether they are innocent or not, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I never agreed to be with Comrade Sun Zailiang in the first place, and now they keep coming to harass me. What do they want? Are they trying to blame me?"

For the first time, Xie Feifei felt that coming from a good family background wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Being targeted by people like her was truly disgusting.

Tong Fang, looking troubled, said, "But the old lady is elderly..."

"Being old means you can do whatever you want? One day, I’ll bring my grandma here and ask her to stab you. Don’t dodge it, okay? After all, my grandma is elderly," Xie Feifei said sarcastically.

Jiang Yu found her mocking attitude highly amusing.

The others in the security department finally spoke up. "Tong Fang, let Captain Lin take care of this. You should say less."

If it weren’t for the fact that He Tingyue happened to be around last time, he wouldn’t have had to deal with these trivial matters.

The "Captain Lin" he mentioned was Lin Chang’an, tall, slim, and fair-skinned, wearing glasses, looking like someone who worked in an office.

"Old lady, stop crying first. This is the security department, not your house."

Compared to Tong Fang, Lin Chang’an was much colder.

After persuading her once and seeing that Stepmother Sun ignored him and wailed even louder, Lin Chang’an slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Xiao Qin, take her to the holding cell until she calms down!"

Stepmother Sun’s cries abruptly stopped, and she immediately clamped her hand over her mouth.

Lin Chang’an sneered and mocked, "I thought you couldn’t understand human language. If you explain things clearly, everything will be simpler. If you don’t cooperate, we have ways to make you comply."

Stepmother Sun’s eyes widened in fear, tears and snot streaming down her face, but she didn’t dare make a sound.

"Has Comrade Sun Zailiang arrived yet?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sun Zailiang walked in.

Sun Zailiang had been anxious on his way over, wondering why he had been called.

When he saw his mother sitting on the floor, he rushed over.

"Mom!"

Stepmother Sun, finding her support, immediately relaxed.

"Liangzi, if you hadn’t come, your mother would have been bullied to death!"

Sun Zailiang’s face contorted in anger. "Did you hit my mom?"

His accusation even made Tong Fang feel it was unreasonable.

"Liangzi, stop talking nonsense. We haven't touched your mother since she came in here. She sat down on her own!"

Sun Zailiang's expression softened a little, but then he noticed Xie Feifei and Jiang Yu were also present, and his face changed drastically.

"Mom, what trouble have you gotten into?"

Sun's mother stammered and couldn't explain clearly.

Xie Feifei snorted, "Your mother came to me and said a bunch of nonsense. Let me ask you, didn't I already reject you? What's going on with you and your mother? Why are you both taking turns coming to the supply and marketing cooperative to bother me?"

Sun Zailiang felt as if he had been slapped in the face. His face burned with humiliation.

He was handsome and smooth-talking, always popular among women, but this was the first time someone had humiliated him like this.

"Mom, didn't I tell you not to go looking for her?"

Before Sun's mother could respond, Jiang Yu chimed in, "Your mother said that you have nothing to do with Zhao Qing, that Zhao Qing seduced you and has been relentlessly pursuing you. She also said that I have been scheming to break you two up because I want to marry you. Many people at the supply and marketing cooperative heard this and thought you should clarify things. Comrade Sun Zailiang, may I ask if I've ever actively sought you out?"

Sun Zailiang hadn't expected Jiang Yu to be involved in this matter. He had always found Jiang Yu even more troublesome than Xie Feifei.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white with anger.

"No! My mother might be a bit confused and misunderstood. I've only met Jiang Yu a few times; we have no relationship. My issues with Zhao Qing have nothing to do with her. Mom, don't talk nonsense again!"

Sun's mother shrank back. There won't be a next time; this one has already scared her enough.

She hadn't meant to say those things; they just slipped out in the heat of the moment.

"And Comrade Zhao Qing, didn't you two date normally? Why does your mother claim that Zhao Qing seduced you? Breaking up is common; many people break up after dating. Why would you try to tarnish a female comrade's reputation after breaking up?" Jiang Yu continued.

She didn't like Zhao Qing, but she couldn't stand the behavior of this mother and son.

Even the men in the security department couldn't help but frown.

It's not manly to defame a woman after breaking up with her.

Sun's mother didn't think she was wrong. If it weren't for Zhao Qing, Sun Zailiang might already be with Xie Feifei.

"I didn't say anything wrong. That Zhao Qing, a sly fox, seduced my son! My son is innocent and couldn’t resist her allure! My son is innocent with her..."

Before she could finish, the door to the security office was kicked open.

Zhao Qing, with red eyes and full of anger, glared at Sun Zailiang and his mother.

"Innocent? Then whose belly is growing! Sun Zailiang, are you even a man? When we were in bed, why didn't you mention being innocent?"

Zhao Qing had originally heard from a colleague that Xie Feifei had taken Sun's mother to the security department.

Worried something might happen, she rushed over.

As she reached the door, she overheard Sun's mother's words and felt her heart sink.

Sun’s mother was stunned. "What! You're pregnant!"

Sun Zailiang's face also changed drastically, his lips trembling, unable to speak.

Zhao Qing sneered, "Since we're in the security department, you decide. Marriage or I'll report you for sexual assault. You decide."

It was Mrs. Sun who reacted first. If he were charged with hooliganism, Sun Zailiang's life would be ruined.

She quickly wiped her tears, got up from the floor, and affectionately clasped Zhao Qing's hand.

"I've never seen someone change their attitude so quickly," Xie Feifei mused.

"Marriage! Of course, marriage! Liangzi!"

Sun Zailiang was in a daze. He had no intention of marrying Zhao Qing.

Like his mother, he believed he deserved someone better.

"M-marriage."

What other option was there? He knew Zhao Qing was ruthless. She would certainly send him to a labor camp if he refused to marry her.
