Wang Ke was filled with regret. He thought that Jing Yao wouldn’t be able to escape from him if he came to Jing Yao’s company to cause trouble and asked the company to suppress Jing Yao.

Who knew that he would get into such big trouble?

“President Liang, this is all a misunderstanding. I was just joking with Miss Jing yesterday. I didn’t expect her to misunderstand,” Wang Ke hurriedly said.

Liang Xun smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. “There’s no misunderstanding, right? I remember what happened at the banquet yesterday clearly. Also, are you so forgetful?”

Wang Ke’s face instantly turned pale.

“It’s useless to argue here now. It’s better for us to resolve this matter through legal procedures. It’s best if the two of you should check your injuries. It’s better to find a better lawyer.”

After Liang Xun finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Gu Yu and stared at his swollen face. He asked, “What’s going on with you?”

Gu Yu was so grateful that he cried. After all, President Liang, who only cared about his wife, could actually remember to care about him. “This lady hit me with a teacup when I pushed the door open just now.”

Liang Xun looked at the woman who had already gotten up on her own and was held back by Wang Ke so that she did not go crazy again. He knew very well that Gu Yu had no grudges with the two of them, so it was obvious who this woman really wanted to hit.

“Then let’s sue together. Let’s go to the hospital to check on her injuries first. When we get back, instruct the lawyers to follow the procedures.”

Gu Yu nodded. He was a lawyer himself. He knew very well what to do.

Gu Yu happened to be going to the hospital for a checkup. He was the one who called the ambulance just now, so he stayed here for the time being. Liang Xun left with Jing Yao first.

Jing Yao had terminated her contract. Zhu Ling was still the company’s manager and could not leave work at will.

However, Zhu Ling was not in the mood to work now. She told Jing Yao to wait for her, then quickly returned to her office to pack her things and skipped work.

Jing Yao and Liang Xun were waiting for her in the car when they saw Zhu Ling rushing out of the company.

Jing Yao shrugged and said fawningly, “Lingling, why don’t you work hard first? Your salary will get deducted for skipping work.”

Zhu Ling glared at her and opened the car door to get in. “Why should I work? You’ve already terminated your contract. Why should I stay here? I’ll write my resignation letter when I get back tonight.”

Jing Yao hurriedly nodded. “Yes, I think so too. Lingling, you can do whatever you want in the future. I have money. I’ll support you.”

“…” Liang Xun, who was sitting in front and listening silently.

His wife said in front of him that she wanted to support someone else?

At the mention of this, Zhu Ling became even angrier. “Where did you get the money from?”

Jing Yao did not know how to explain and could only look at Liang Xun in the front row for help.

Liang Xun said, “I think you have a lot to talk about. How about this? It’s time for lunch. I’ll book a table first and send you over to sit and talk slowly.”

Zhu Ling shook her head. “Let’s talk here. We can eat later.”

Liang Xun replied to her as he took out his cell phone to order food. “No, she can’t be hungry now.”

Zhu Ling was even more confused and looked at Jing Yao in confusion.

Jing Yao looked at Liang Xun and smiled brightly at Zhu Ling. This meant that she would not speak now.

Zhu Ling took two deep breaths and did not say anything else.

Liang Xun booked a private restaurant with a very good environment. It was mainly because there was a chef here who was very knowledgeable about pregnant women’s meals.

Don’t ask him how he knew. Last night, Jing Yao vomited after eating his food. At that time, he had made up his mind to learn maternity meals. After asking around, he found out that there was a chef here who specialized in such food. He had already added the chef on WeChat this morning and arranged a time to learn.

Liang Xun looked like he had a bad temper, but he was actually very meticulous. Both his IQ and EQ were very high. Jing Yao didn’t say a word in the car. He knew that it was because he was here, so he found an excuse to leave after sending her off.

Before he left, he told Jing Yao to tell him when she was done eating that he would send someone to pick her up.

After Liang Xun left, Jing Yao told Zhu Ling everything in detail while waiting for the meal.

Zhu Ling was silent for a long time after hearing that. She couldn’t judge whether Jing Yao was right or wrong. She just felt sorry for her. It was her mother and sister who schemed against Jing Yao. If she hadn’t been born into such a family, Jing Yao wouldn’t have encountered such things.

“It’s fine if you want to give birth to the child. Even without Liang Xun, you still have me. I’ll raise it for you, but you shouldn’t have agreed to live with Liang Xun. It’s so dangerous for a man and a woman to live alone.”
