Chapter 274 Jiang's Mother Forces Her Daughter
As the weather gets hotter, Xiaomai's baby bump is getting bigger and bigger. Now it can no longer be covered. He Lingting is basically inseparable from it.
Ever since Xiaomai's pregnancy became apparent, He Lingting has been working at Qingtian Group every day. Asan will deliver He's documents to him.
Xiaomai is now taken very good care of by his colleagues in the office from morning till night, especially Jiang Nannan and Zhang Pengfei, who would ask Xiaomai every once in a while, "Have you had a drink? Are you hungry? Are you tired?"
Now it happened again. Zhang Pengfei on the opposite side looked up and asked, "Xiaomi, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."
"No need, I have more here." Xiaomai said, pointing to the cup.
"Then you should do less work and don't get too tired. I will do the rest. But you have to guide me. My design level can't compare with yours!" Zhang Pengfei joked.
"You are not helping me, you are trying to steal my skills! How can I teach you?"
"You've seen through it all."
"Tsk." Xiaomai rolled his eyes at him and they continued working.
After a while, Nan Nan went out to get some water, and then walked up to Xiaomai and asked, "Xiaomai, are you thirsty? I'll go get some water."
Xiaomai put down the work in her hands and said helplessly, "You two are doing this on purpose! Are you deliberately not letting me work properly? Ask me every few minutes."
"No way! Your man told us to take good care of you, don't we care about you?" Jiang Nannan said embarrassedly.
"You're my friend, so why listen to him?"
"Xiaomi! It's not our fault. He is the boss! We should be grateful if we take advantage of him." Zhang Pengfei said.
"Oh! What kind of friends do I have?" Xiaomai pretended to sigh, but she was actually quite happy in her heart. This couple really cared about her.
Jiang Nannan saw that there was still water in Xiaomai's cup, so she filled it and went back to her seat. As soon as she sat down, her cell phone rang. She quickly picked up the phone as she was afraid of disturbing others at work.
"Hey!"
"Nannan! I'm your mother." A hypocritical voice came from the other side.
"Yeah, I know." Jiang Nannan said coldly.
Ever since Pengfei plotted against her mother last time, her mother really ignored her and really intended to let her bear everything on her own. She did not tell her family about her marriage to Pengfei, but after marriage, she would send living expenses to her family every month and went back once or twice. When her parents met them, they did not care about her, but instead cared about the money in her hands.
"Nannan, mom has something to tell you."
"explain."
"It's like this. Your brother has been dating someone for almost half a year and wants to get married, but the girl's family wants a dowry of 200,000 yuan. How can you get 200,000 yuan in your family's situation? Can you help the family?"
"I can't help you. I don't have it either." Jiang Nannan refused decisively.
"Mom knows you don't have any, but you work in a big company and your friends are all rich people. You can borrow some from them one by one and then pay them back later." Jiang's mother suggested shamelessly.
Jiang Nannan's face turned even colder over the phone, and she asked angrily: "Who will pay it back? You or me? Don't say I can't borrow it. Even if I can borrow it, I won't care. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I have to go to work." After Nannan finished speaking, she pressed the hang up button.
The three members of the Jiang family were so angry that they stamped their feet. Jiang Nannan's younger brother Xiao Shuai said, "I told you that she had grown wings and wouldn't listen to me anymore! You still didn't believe me. What should we do now? Where can we get 200,000 yuan?"
"She has a stronger foothold and she's also the daughter of our Jiang family. I've raised her for so many years and it's time for me to give her some reward. If not, I'll find her a husband. We'll also ask for a dowry of 200,000 yuan and that's it." Jiang's father came up with a bad idea.
"This is a good idea. My sister is good-looking and works for a big company. Two hundred thousand yuan for a betrothal gift is too little. We should ask for at least three hundred thousand yuan." Xiao Shuai said.
"Okay, let's do this. I'll continue to do her work and ask her to collect 200,000 yuan. You can also look for men who are eager to find a wife. The more the betrothal gift, the better."
Nan Nan was still uneasy after hanging up the phone and kept sneezing. She didn't know that her family was going to destroy her last bit of value.
Zhang Pengfei noticed that something was wrong with Nan Nan the moment she answered the phone, but due to working hours, he had to endure it.
Finally it was lunch time. Zhang Pengfei asked Nan Nan what happened. Nan Nan told him about her mother's phone call. Zhang Pengfei was also very angry. Why was Nan Nan's life so miserable that she had such a mother.
"Why not give her two hundred thousand?"
"No, they are very greedy. If we give her this time, she will want more in the future, like an endless vampire, so we have to stop them from thinking about it from the beginning." A daughter knows a mother best. Nan Nan knows her parents too well.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but don't put yourself in a difficult position, or your husband will feel bad." Zhang Pengfei said, touching Nan Nan's hair.
"Well, it's great to have you." Nan Nan smiled sweetly and threw herself into her husband's arms, feeling very secure.
"So, let's go eat now?"
"Okay." Then the two went to the cafeteria to eat.
On the other side, Xiaomai came to the CEO's office on the top floor to have lunch. After lunch, Xiaomai said, "Uncle, do you think I have gained weight recently? My face looks round."
"Really? I didn't notice it." He Lingting held Xiaomai's face and looked at her for a long time but couldn't tell that she had gained weight.
"Yes, it's not obvious if you see it every day!"
“That doesn’t control diet either.”
"Okay, I won't control it, but I want to move around after dinner. Nan Nan and I will go to the park downstairs and take a walk."
"Okay, go ahead! But be careful." He Lingting gave Xiaomai instructions before letting her leave the office.
When Xiaomai went back, Nannan and Brother Zhang just happened to come back after dinner.
"Nannan, let's go downstairs to digest our food?" Xiaomai called Nannan as she entered the office.
"Oh, you came back early today! Why didn't you stay with your husband for a while longer?" Nan Nan asked teasingly.
"What's there for him to keep company with? I want to go downstairs to digest my food."
"Okay, let's go!"
The two of them went downstairs and walked around the flower bed while talking. Suddenly, a woman jumped out from the side of the road and said, "You are so mean, Jiang Nannan. How dare you hang up on me?"
"Mom, why are you here?" Nan Nan asked in surprise.
"If you don't want me to come, just give me two hundred thousand." Jiang's mother was really shameless.
"No, go back!"
"Then you can borrow it."
"If I can't borrow it, don't try to cheat me."
"I'm your mother, how can I cheat you? If you can't do anything else, just find someone to marry! We also want 200,000 yuan."
"What are you thinking? I can't possibly listen to you. All you have done over the years except giving birth to me has been crushing me. Go away now. Didn't you disown me a long time ago?" Jiang Nannan couldn't help but retort after hearing what her mother said.
"You bastard, you you, I'm going to beat you to death!" Jiang's mother was so ashamed that her conspiracy was exposed that she picked up a stick from the side of the road and hit Nan Nan with it.
Jiang Nannan stood there in a daze, watching the whip about to hit her. Xiaomai suddenly hugged her. Jiang's mother hit Xiaomai on the back with a stick. Xiaomai screamed, and Nannan was scared. Xiaomai was still pregnant, so she would be okay!
