Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 311 Mr. Gu is a loudmouth

Wen Yan wasn't superstitious, but she still obeyed Madam Gu's advice to keep her pregnancy a secret for the first three months.

However, this secrecy did not last long.

When Jiang woke up and looked for Wen Yan, he was extra careful when Wen Yan walked downstairs. When they went back to school together to hand in their documents, he deliberately prevented other students from accidentally bumping into Wen Yan. He was also unsurprised by the sudden appearance of several plainclothes female bodyguards around Wen Yan.

"You... you know?" Wen Yan asked in a low voice, surprised.

"Know what?" Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, glanced at Wen Yan's lower abdomen, and laughed, "Not only me, the entire Gu Group headquarters knows."

Wen Yan was shocked. Weren't we supposed to keep it a secret?

Jiang Xing suppressed a laugh as he said, "President Gu ordered the company's property management to conduct thorough inspections, ensuring there's no place where there's a risk of slipping. He also told everyone not to walk or run fast when you're around, and that smoking is prohibited outside of the smoking room. If caught, a month's bonus will be deducted. Moreover, President Gu has been in a good mood lately, and several senior executives have said that he's been very lenient lately... What's the difference between this and being outright?"

Wen Yan: "..."

"Moreover, some people already knew about it before the company made any moves."

“…Abandoned?” Wen Yan immediately thought.

Jiang Xing was surprised that Wen Yan had thought of it so quickly, and felt a little embarrassed.

After a couple of seconds, he nodded casually, "Didn't you plan to come to the company that day to talk to me about the thesis? Lou Qi found out the next day."

That was the day after she confirmed her pregnancy.

...When did Gu Yanci become such a gossip?

Even knowing exactly when Lou Qi found out about the news meant Jiang Xing was right beside him. Since he had to work during the day, it could only be at night.

What exactly is the situation between these two now? As far as Wen Yan knows, Lou Qi's longest term as a predecessor was three months, and Jiang Xing's term has far exceeded that.

It doesn't seem like a joke.

It didn't seem like a joke; Wen Yan didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for Jiang Xingxing.

"By the way, there's something you might not know." Jiang Xing didn't want to continue talking about himself and Lou Qi, so he changed the subject, "Nan Zhiyi's family went bankrupt."

"What?" Wen Yan really didn't know.

She was completely unaware of this.

Wen Yan pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Is it related to Gu Yanci?"

Jiang Xing nodded: "To be precise, they were jointly crushed by President Gu and the Jiang family."

Daniels' main business is trade. It was strangled by two powerful families and could hardly survive. After all, both Gu Yanci and Jiang Huaixu are essentially madmen.

This is what Gu Yanci did during the few days he was abroad. The Nan family wanted to reconcile and plead for leniency, so they arranged a dinner party. However, Nan Zhiyi made a foolish mistake at that dinner party, which hastened her own demise.

Wen Yan was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Xing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Has your mother... contacted you?"

"No."

From the time the Nan family ran into trouble until their bankruptcy, Nan Yun never spoke to her.

Does this mean that Nan Yun's heart is now indeed leaning more towards her?

Wen Yan couldn't quite describe her feelings. She wasn't happy, but rather somewhat relieved, as if she had put a period to her childhood.

A week later.

Wen Yan finally received a call from Luo Beiqing.

She has settled down in Switzerland, and the baby is recovering well. Her only regret is that she is worried that He Tingchuan might find her through the news, so it is not convenient for them to meet recently.

Wen Yan also shared the good news, after all, the child's father was quite the gossipmonger.
