Chapter 104: Explosive

~8 min read 1,408 words

She's already three months pregnant — how are you as a husband? Your wife had to find out through a checkup.

Failing grade, total failing grade.

Liu Xinhua and Qin Hao vented their fury at Shen Mo right in front of Liu Yue.

Both of them were terrified — if something happened to this precious grandson, they'd cry themselves to death.

After the scolding, Liu Xinhua went back to take over work at the Liu family, and Liu Yue was officially given leave.

The Qin Foundation also sent people dispatched by Uncle Qin Meng to take over, and delivered a batch of top-quality nutritional supplies to Liu Yue.

Qin Hao waved his hand grandly and promoted Wang Lin, the original operations girl at Baiyin Game Company, to general manager. With Qiang Ni's assistance, she would run Baiyin Game Company fully, while Shen Mo stayed home at ease to take care of his wife.

This arrangement easily gives the impression that they're afraid Shen Mo will ride the momentum and soar, letting his head get inflated.

But Shen Mo gladly agreed — he thought it was excellent.

Others handled all the work; he only needed to deal with important documents on a regular basis.

After the news of Liu Yue's pregnancy spread, many people came to offer congratulations.

The first to arrive were Zhao Yanyan and Zhou Yue. The moment they saw Liu Yue, their one line was: "Your belly isn't showing at all."

Liu Yue sighed: "That's why Shen Mo and I didn't notice earlier either."

I always thought nothing was going on with me, and never imagined I'd gotten pregnant without realizing it.

Right after Shen Mo brought them fruit, the three girls started chattering away about who would be the godmother, who would be the dry mother, and what gifts to give.

Listening to their discussion, Shen Mo fully understood that saying — what it means when three women put on a show, outdoing eight hundred ducks.

That passion is genuinely absurd.

Before they finished discussing, Liu Qingqing arrived.

Hearing the chatter upstairs, Liu Qingqing first chatted with Shen Mo in the living room downstairs.

Liu Qingqing said with a smile: "I married your brother, you married my sister — how should the two of us sort out our relationship?"

That's right — in the end, Liu Qingqing did get together with Shen Jiayun, who had turned over a new leaf and started working hard again.

Shen Mo felt this must have been Liu Qingqing's decision after much deliberation.

After all, once Shen Jiayun worked hard and put in the effort, he was essentially a decent person — and through the marriage alliance, one could also leverage the hidden forces behind him.

For Liu Qingqing, who was building her career on her own, he was indeed a good support.

Of course, the only downside was that Shen Jiayun's abilities were indeed a bit lacking once he stepped outside his comfort zone.

But he could still serve as the pillar of Liu Qingqing's company.

One piece of news Shen Mo noted was that Shen Jiayun, the ugly duckling of a capitalist, had successfully entered the entertainment industry.

Main job as an internet celebrity, side job as a star — combining the two, Shen Jiayun made quite a lot of money.

Reportedly raked in tens of millions a year.

Tens of millions isn't much to the rich, but it was after-tax pure free capital that landed in Shen Jiayun and Liu Qingqing's hands.

And in business, the most essential thing is massive cash flow.

So regarding Liu Qingqing's question, Shen Mo said with a grin: "How about I call you sis, and you call me bro?"

Liu Qingqing paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "Deal."

Along with Liu Qingqing's laughter, her body trembled unconsciously.

Shen Mo imagined the scene of her wearing revealing clothes — it would surely be a beautiful sight.

Now that Liu Qingqing had inherited the entertainment company Liu Xinhua gave her, she was already a boss, a member of the capital side, with the capital to never have to wear revealing clothes.

One has to admit, family background is a wonderful thing — truly a good way for a person to gain freedom.

While chatting casually, Liu Qingqing told Shen Mo some jokes from inside the entertainment industry — like certain stars whose careers collapsed for bizarre reasons. At the same time, Liu Qingqing also shared some gossip from her own small circle.

Shen Mo was the type who quite enjoyed listening, and the two of them chatted enthusiastically for a while.

A good while later, when Liu Yue came downstairs with Zhao Yanyan and the others, they all still looked rather reluctant to part.

This made Liu Yue a little jealous.

But it vanished immediately, because Liu Qingqing rushed over and hugged Liu Yue, burying her face in her neck and sweetly calling her "sis."

【Damn green tea — I never knew when you got this close with my wife.】

Shen Mo was going crazy inside, regretting how tender he'd been with Liu Qingqing just now.

Liu Yue came downstairs not to see guests off, but to have Wang Ma cook — there needed to be more food today.

After learning that Shen Mo and Liu Qingqing had just been chatting about gossip, Zhou Yue shared a big piece of gossip.

"Song Wenjing from Jingcheng — you guys know him?" Zhou Yue's eyes gleamed.

Shen Mo and the others thought for a moment, then nodded together: "Heard of him, never seen him — the type with more money than brains."

Jinghai and Jingcheng are far apart, with little cooperation between them — almost none at the main company level.

Of course, the bigger reason is that people on the Jinghai side simply can't reach that level.

It's only because the families in Jingcheng are far more powerful.

Take the Song Family — even the Qin Family couldn't go head-to-head with them.

But everyone still felt that Song Wenjing, this eldest young master of the Song Family, was a big fool.

The reason for this view was that Song Wenjing had a white moonlight who went abroad — reportedly the eldest daughter of the Lin Family in Jingcheng.

And then Song Wenjing acted as if he couldn't afford a plane ticket — for five whole years he never once went to see her, wholeheartedly playing substitute romance in Jingcheng.

Especially absurd.

Planes are so advanced nowadays — you really couldn't go see her at all?

And there's something even more absurd — back then, to stop the Lin eldest daughter from going abroad, Song Wenjing once blocked a plane on the runway, and was reportedly beaten by the Song Family patriarch until both his legs were broken, then sent away to serve time for a while.

He was sued by the airline.

So much so that the Song Family had to pay the airline a huge sum, substantially filling the airline's deficit.

So those who had privately heard of Song Wenjing all called him the Big Fool—dumb and loaded.

But so what? Haven't heard any new jokes.

Zhou Yue, suppressing a laugh, said: "This year my family got a piece of land in Jingcheng, planning to invest in two star-rated hotels, so I built some connections with people over there and attended a few banquets."

"And just happened to run into Song Wenjing's legendary white moonlight, Ms. Lin Wen, returning to the country."

"I thought it was going to be a fallen-white-moonlight-versus-substitute catfight story, plus a scumbag man's wife-chasing crematorium arc."

"But who knew—in the end, Lin Wen herself complained that she had no idea she was Song Wenjing's white moonlight, because she and Song Wenjing had barely spent any time together at all, at most exchanging nods at various banquets."

"And Lin Wen said that she is the Lin Family's business head for this generation, supporting a whole big household, so where would she find the mood to romance Song Wenjing? If she had the time, she'd rather research new energy technology and see if she could get the Song Family's auto company onto the fast track of the new era."

"So you see, Song Wenjing is just a plain joke."

"And that canary-substitute Song Wenjing kept? She was actually after Song Wenjing's kidney."

"She sweet-talked Song Wenjing into donating a kidney to her."

"Absolutely explosive."
