Ji Yong answered the phone, mostly with words of comfort, but he was afraid of causing trouble to his daughter, so he said a few words and hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Fang sighed, "Xiaoling's life is hard enough. Weidong usually doesn't spend much time at home, but now something like this happened again."

"If nothing had happened to me back then, maybe I would have had another life path."

Ji Yong would blame himself every time he thought about his daughter's bad life.

"Maybe it's fate. The Zhu family has always been very good to Xiaoling. Apart from work, Wei Dong is very good at everything he does."

Just as Ji Yong was about to speak, he heard a knock at the back door. The couple looked back and saw a pregnant Ji Ke coming in from the backyard.

Ji Ke is now four months pregnant and has become pregnant. Because she suddenly became pregnant and refused to tell who the child was, Ji's family all suspected Chen Jingming.

But no matter how the family asked, Ji Ke refused to say anything and said he wanted to give birth to the child.

Ji Yong also lost his temper and pushed the person away, trying to drive him out. In the end, Xu Fang relented and stopped her husband.

"What are you doing out here? Didn't I tell you that if you want to give birth to a child, you should just stay in the backyard? Otherwise, what would happen if you, an unmarried girl, have a big belly and let people see it?" Ji Yong said with a cold face, "Get out of here. Go back to the backyard.”

Xu Fang couldn't bear to see her, she just felt pity for her daughter, but thinking of those things, she was too determined to say anything.

Ji Ke said with a dull face, "You are going to the capital to see Ji Ling, what should I do? I want to go to the capital with you."

"Impossible." Ji Yong's eyes widened fiercely, "Ji Ke, I don't care what you want to do? If you don't listen to me and walk out of this door, I, Ji Yong, will not have a daughter like you in the future."

Ji Ke met Ji Yong's gaze without fear, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled, "Never go out, stay here all your life? And then what? If you give the children away, can I see the light of day?"

"Yes." Ji Yong did not hide his true thoughts, "That's what your mother and I planned."

"I will not give my child away." Ji Ke did not compromise. "If you don't agree, I will leave now. Anyway, in your eyes, having me as a daughter is worse than not having one. My life and death has nothing to do with you. , rather than staying here and blocking your eyes, it would be better to fend for yourself."

"If you are so ambitious, then leave, no one will stop you." Ji Yong snorted coldly.

Ji Ke sneered and strode out.

Xu Fang hesitated, "Xiao Ke, be obedient."

"Be obedient? Does being obedient mean giving away my child?" Ji Ke felt aggrieved. Seeing the person who always loved him say the same thing, his eye circles turned red for a moment, "How could you be so cruel? I already knew I was wrong. Why do you still treat me like this? If you don't forgive me, why do you care about me? You let me stay at home, and every time you see me, you wish you didn't have my daughter."

Ji Ke wiped away his tears in grievance, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "I would rather die outside than look at your faces."

He dropped the words and ran away.

"Sin." Ji Yong turned his head.

Xu Fang sighed, but still strode out after him.

Lian Qizhen, who was sick on the other side, stayed for a long time after hearing the results of Ji Ling's diagnosis.

"Even Engineer, you have been pregnant for more than a month. You should not think too much and take good care of yourself." The doctor also had a smile on his face. "You have hidden it well enough. You didn't even notify everyone when you got married."

Lian Qizhen smiled and said, "At my age, I don't like to make noise. Can you please keep it a secret for me first? I was pregnant when I got here, and I'm afraid that the leader will send me back to the bureau again."

"Okay, but you can't keep this matter a secret. You are weak now. If anything goes wrong, the child will be in danger." The doctor did not forget to warn.

Lian Qizhen thanked her.

When there was no one around, the blood on Lian Qizhen's face faded, and she placed her hands stiffly on her stomach.

He had obviously taken precautions when he was with Gu Baoshan, but something happened anyway.

That night, Lian Qizhen went to Gu Baoshan's residence in the middle of the night, but before she could knock on the door, she noticed someone staring at her from behind, and she turned around sharply.

A few steps behind her, she saw Director Wang and the man from the Public Security Bureau who had asked her about her. These days at the construction site, even Qizhen often heard people around her mention her name, as if she was called Wu Dongping.

Lian Qizhen was brought back to the office, and she sat there blankly. Director Wang walked up to her, opened her mouth, turned away, and finally walked over again. This was repeated several times, and finally patted her leg with his big hand and turned around. out.

Wu Dongping poured a glass of water and handed it to Lian Qizhen, "Drink some hot water to warm yourself first. The temperature difference between day and night is huge here."

His tone is kind and his caring words make it easy to relax.

Lian Qizhen took the cup and held it in her hand. The hot water in the enamel cup slowly spread to her hand through the wall of the cup, and the temperature spread from her hand to her entire body.

Even Qizhen's gray face gradually gained vitality.

Wu Dongping moved a chair and sat down in front of her, "Engineer Lian, do you have a good relationship with Gu Baoshan? It's not just a relationship between colleagues, right?"

Lian Qizhen didn't raise her head, staring at the water glass in her hand, "Only those two times, when I was returning to the capital. I don't keep in touch, let alone get to know each other well."

Wu Dongping did not question the authenticity of what he said, just like chatting with good friends, "I understand that Gu Baoshan has a family. You are together now. What does he think about the future? Have you told him? You are from abroad. The engineers who came back are more open-minded, but in China, this is a style issue and it is also a very serious problem."

"It was an accident at first, and it was a temptation the second time. How could such a thing be taken seriously."

"So after your affairs were exposed by Zhu Weidong, you became murderous?" Wu Dong's gentle smile disappeared.

Lian Qizhen raised her head and met Wu Dongping's eyes without a mistake, "Officer Wu, you have a good imagination, but the crime of murder is not something you can pin on others just by thinking about it."

Wu Dongping said, "Comrade Lian Qizhen, I have been investigating here for so long, and there is a time error in your transcript. You also deliberately concealed your relationship with Gu Baoshan. Someone saw you coming out of the grass that night. , how do you explain this?"

Lian Qizhen held a glass of water in one hand and tucked the hair behind her ears with the other. She smiled softly, "Officer Wu, this is unfair. I went to the grass that night, just for convenience, and I didn't see Gu Baoshan. .As for who saw me and Gu Baoshan walking in the grass, you can call them over and I will confront them face to face."

Wu Dongping said, "Since we have found you, we will not accuse you unjustly, and you were not the only one who saw you and Gu Baoshan entering the grass together that night."
