Chapter 1076

Su Yang immediately said: "Shut up! Don't drag everything onto me, okay? If you're going to talk about this reckless, somewhat fucking nonsense behavior, aren't you even more like me?"

He hurriedly added a sentence, this Xiao Monü really always manages to stir up something each time we meet, otherwise she truly wouldn't be a Xiao Monü.

Xiao Monü pursed her lips and said: "Oh, I'm just stating the facts, don't get so worked up, okay? Besides, isn't your temper because of Zhou Ruohan? Why are you taking it out on me?"

Zhou Ruohan was already unhappy inside, hearing this she burst out laughing: "Liu Zixuan, your dog mouth truly can't spit out ivory."

You're not young either, hurry up and find a partner to settle your affairs. You know our circle—once you're past twenty-six or twenty-seven, everyone considers you a leftover woman, making it hard to find a suitable match.

Liu Zixuan pouted dismissively: "How they view it is their business; unless I meet the right person, I won't rush into marriage, nor do I want any political marriage with others. My grandfather has already agreed, and besides, my great-uncle wouldn't want me to hang out with this bunch of useless bastards."

Saying this, Su Yang suddenly asked: "Your second uncle's vice-ministerial level has been almost a year, right? Aren't you going to move him up this year? I feel his momentum is strong now."

Liu Zixuan said: "I don't know about that; I don't care about the family's adult affairs, I just want to earn some pocket money, save up a dowry, and live my small life well. So where are you headed next?"

If investment is needed, you must bring me along; the projects in Lieshan Xian have truly exceeded my expectations. Originally I just wanted to serve the people, but now even a poor county shows that the common people have basic purchasing power. As long as coverage is broad enough, the profit is still quite considerable.

Su Yang didn't say it out loud, but thought: "No wonder—this whole operation was originally monopolized by Geng Miao. Now Geng Miao has fallen, and Zhou Zixuan is eating his fill."

Although the profit per unit isn't as ruthless or dark as Geng Miao's earlier gains, this thing wins on volume.

But he said: "I'm a dismissed vice county magistrate who's now offended so many people; I doubt there's anywhere good for me to go next."

Besides, this time the investment promotion work almost got me labeled with all kinds of hats; even if they wanted me to continue this job, I wouldn't want to. But opportunities will still exist, and when they do I'll definitely call you.

While he was still chatting with Liu Zixuan, Zhou Ruohan had already gotten up and gone to Fang Jingwen's side.

At this point, Young Master Wang, embarrassed enough to dig out a three-bedroom apartment, stood rooted for five full minutes, then smashed the flower in his hand hard onto the ground and turned away. As flamboyant as his arrival, so disgraceful his departure. The face he lost was no less than when Tian Xiaofei ran up to me, pretended to be cool, got beaten, and went toothless searching the ground.

To be honest, ever since hearing 'buy one get one free,' and seeing that genuine product quality inspection report, he at that point even had the thought of dying. He's no ordinary person—he really can't afford to lose face like this. Among all the women in Jingcheng, he somehow ended up picking someone who makes him feel like he's challenging Duo'ergong; this face of his has truly been thrown to his grandma's house.

All the way home, his mind was a complete mess. From childhood to now, he's always been unstoppable, especially when it comes to picking up girls—whenever he sets his sights on someone, you can't say it's a sure thing, but it's more like they throw themselves into his arms.

However, Fang Jingwen here got a flat rejection, and worse yet, people letting him challenge Duo'ergong will surely become a joke in the circle from now on, right?

Especially for families like theirs, a bit of premarital private-life chaos is normal, and some female circles are quite open—these are usually deliberately overlooked if your clan background is strong enough. But no family would accept marrying a pregnant woman; that's absolutely out of the question.

He really wants to know which damned bastard ruined Fang Jingwen's purity; if he finds out, he'll definitely have that dog thief sliced into a thousand pieces.

In fact, not only does he want to know this answer, Zhou Ruohan also really wants to know.

Zhou Ruohan asked: "When did you get it? How could it be so sudden? I've never heard you were dating anyone."

Fang Jingwen seemed to have expected Zhou Ruohan's question all along, and she laughed as she said: "Sometimes fate comes along and can't be stopped. But you also know this kind of thing—some people can last forever, while others are just acting on a momentary lust."

The reason I haven't made this public is because it's indeed easy to say but hard to hear. If I say I met a scumbag, would you believe me? I haven't dared to tell my family clearly about this, because that scumbag pulled up his pants and ran off, leaving me unable to explain things to my family.

So lately I've been talking to a classmate of mine; if worse comes to worst, I'll just wrong him a bit.

Zhou Ruohan fumed: "Looks like he really is a scumbag; does he know about this? How can he be so irresponsible?"

Fang Jingwen said indifferently: "Whether he knows or not, it doesn't matter to me. By the way, how many months along are you? When are you due?"

She shifted the topic to Zhou Ruohan, who stroked her already bulging belly and said: "Probably around September, though it's not certain—could come earlier."

The two of them sat there chatting, while Su Yang trembled nervously. In his understanding, Zhou Ruohan holds no prejudice against any girl and is quite tolerant, yet she always treats Fang Jingwen a bit differently—could it be that when they teamed up back then they had some conflict that formed an unresolved knot? How had he never heard of this?

Now even drinking alcohol tastes bland, eating food has no flavor; he just wants to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible and go home early. Fortunately, Zhou Ruohan and Fang Jingwen's chat wasn't long—just over ten minutes—before Zhou Ruohan came back, which let him breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally he just wanted to directly take Zhou Ruohan home; after returning, as long as he put in some effort, Zhou Ruohan wouldn't be there thinking about random things. However, the little devil Liu Zixuan on the side stirred up trouble again:

"Ruohan sister, what are you two talking about? Did she say who the father is? Besides, I think her personality is very steady, not the type to be casual—how could she just suddenly have it? Also, from what I see she definitely cares about this person; otherwise, if something passionate really happened, she could just take care of it herself."

Su Yang thought to himself: "Just shut up already; even eating can't shut your mouth."
