Chapter 29 – My Son is a Phoenix Man (part 9)

Jiang Shan drove Li Su back after Wei Yue Er and her parents got into the car.

On the way, Li Su warned him repeatedly.
“Child Shan, our family is honest.
During Yue Er’s pregnancy, you aren’t allowed to have any strange affairs.
If you dare to do something to poor Yue Er, you will have to deal with me.”

Jiang Shan smiled disapprovingly.
“Mum, don’t worry.
Yue Er is carrying my son!”

“What son.
You aren’t allowed to say that in front of Yue Er.
Whether it is a son or a daughter, it will be your child.
Our family does not favour sons over daughters,” said Li Su.

“Mum, you didn’t say that before.
You used to tell me that you wanted me to give you a fat grandson so that I could be worthy of the Jiang family’s ancestors,” Jiang Shan said jokingly.

“Is it possible that a granddaughter won’t be a part of the Jiang family? Before, I used to think that the son was the pillar of the family when I was in the countryside.
But now, people in the city like their daughters.
Besides, mum didn’t understand anything at that time.
Now, I know so much.
Everything is on TV!” said Li Su.
“Boys and girls are the same.
If Yue Er gives me a soft granddaughter, then that would be nice.
I can buy her a lot of beautiful dresses and shoes.
I can tie her hair up in cute braids!”

Jiang Shan smiled at that thought.
“Mum is right.”

“You have to take good care of Yue Er during her pregnancy.
Don’t make her angry and don’t bully her! You hear me?” Li Su warned him again.

“Don’t worry, mum.
I know,” said Jiang Shan with a smile.

After they returned, Mother Wei talked to Wei Yue Er inside while Wei Ding Shan smoked on the balcony.
Jiang Shan put down the car keys and walked over.
“Dad.”

He was surprised to see that Wei Ding Shan’s eyes were red.
Jiang Shan didn’t know what to do.
“Dad, what’s wrong?”

Wei Ding Shan rubbed his eyes.
“It’s nothing.
I was thinking of Yue Er when she was younger and felt moved.”

Jiang Shan smiled in understanding.
“Dad, you and mum can rest assured.
I will take good care of Yue Er.”

Wei Ding Shan smiled.
“Jiang Shan, when you become a father, you will understand how I feel.
I only have a daughter, Yue Er.
Sooner or later, everything I have will belong to her and it will be yours.
I only hope that you can treat her well and not make her sad or disappointed.”

This was the first time Jiang Shan heard Wei Ding Shan speak so sincerely, so he was a little touched.
He understood what Wei Ding Shan meant, so he replied seriously, “Dad, I know what you mean.
Don’t worry.
I will take good care of Yue Er and not do anything to harm her.
Just watch!”

Wei Ding Shan merely smiled.
“In our position, there are a lot of temptations in the world.
Don’t try to deny it.
We are men and we are people.
It’s just that you have to keep in mind that it’s okay to act to others, but don’t put on an entire fake show or you will regret it sooner or later.”

Jiang Shan disagreed with Wei Ding Shan’s words in his heart.
He knows of some of Wei Ding Shan’s affairs, but he is different from Wei Ding Shan.
However, even if he disagreed, he can’t contradict him.
“Dad, don’t worry.
My mother has told me many times that I must take care of Yue Er.
She said that if I dare to bully Yue Er, she will break my leg!”

Wei Ding Shan smiled.
“I also admired mother-in-law.
She is a wise person.
Having her as a mother is your blessing, Jiang Shan!”

“My mum always said that it is my good fortune to be able to marry Yue Er,” Jiang Shan said with a smile.

“If the family is harmonious and there are no conflicts at home, then we can be at peace in our careers,” Wei Ding Shan said.

Jiang Shan smiled and nodded.
As the son and father-in-law were talking, Mother Wei came down.
“Hey, Jiang Shan, are you back? Yue Er is asking for you.
Oh, you are.
Yue Er needs someone to look after her.
You, ah… Holding your son-in-law here and talking for so long…”

Wei Ding Shan smiled awkwardly.
“Okay, fine, fine.
Go and accompany Yue Er!”

Jiang Shan nodded after hearing his words before he went upstairs.
He heard Mother Wei accusing Wei Ding Shan of something as he left, along with Wei Ding Shan’s embarrassed tone as he begged for mercy.
Jiang Shan smiled slightly.
Before, he had been reluctant to come visit the Wei family since he thought that Wei Ding Shan was a man who bullied others and had deep thoughts, and that Mother Wei was aloof and looked down on people.

But now, Jiang Shan thought that he had been too judgmental before.

When he thought of this, Jiang Shan lowered his head and smiled before he turned to enter the room.

Wei Yue Er had grown up spoiled and she was even more spoiled after she became pregnant.
Mother Wei had hired 2 aunties who had studied nutrition in order to take care of Wei Yue Er’s diet.
Mother Wei had wanted Wei Yue Er to rest at home, but Wei Yue Er hadn’t been happy.
Wei Yue Er still liked commuting with Jiang Shan.
Mother Wei agreed, but she repeatedly told Wei Ding Shan and Jiang Shan to take care of Wei Yue Er at the company.

In the morning, one of the aunties arranged a nutritious meal.
After eating, Jiang Shan drove.
The original 10 minute drive took half an hour.

When they got out of the car, Jiang Shan held Wei Yue Er’s hand.
In his other hand was the food box full of fruits, nuts, and milk prepared by the auntie.

Wei Yue Er originally worked as Jiang Shan’s secretary.
Since her previous desk was a bit close to the printer, she moved into Jiang Shan’s office.
She didn’t have to do much every day; she just sent documents to various offices.
Everyone in the company knew that she was the boss’s daughter and vice president Jiang’s wife.
Nobody would say anything, and they would take care of her.

At noon.
Mother Wei and Li Su brought lunch made by the aunties to the company.
Sometimes, the aunties gave too much and so Wei Ding Shan and Jiang Shan could have some.

Wei Yue Er’s relatives took good care of her, so she was in a good mood.
Her life during her pregnancy was very happy.

But Jiang Shan met an unexpected person in the company.

“Mei Li? Why are you here? You look different from before.
Did you get plastic surgery?” Jiang Shan had just come out of the bathroom when he saw Mei Li.
He was surprised.

“Plastic surgery? I just put on make-up! Also, my name is Amy now.” Mei Li was very satisfied when she saw the surprise on Jiang Shan’s face.
In fact, she really did have plastic surgery, so she was still recovering.
Although the process was painful, it seemed that the effect was very good.
In regards to men, they were always greedy for new things.
She didn’t believe that Jiang Shan would not take the bait.

It was a shame that she didn’t have much money, so she could only choose a general hospital in China for her surgery.
She felt that there were some places that wasn’t satisfied with.
After she got back together with Jiang Shan, she would have enough money to go to Korea or Japan to fix it up.

Jiang Shan frowned.
He knew that Mei Li wanted to reconcile, but it was impossible.
Yue Er was pregnant now and he could not afford to upset her.
Mei Li was too aggressive! “Mei Li, you shouldn’t have come here! It is impossible for us!”

“Jiang Shan, don’t get me wrong.
I just came here to work.
The salary is good and there are a lot of benefits, so I applied for the job.
In the future, we will be colleagues.” Mei Li smiled and stretched out her hand.

Jiang Shan glanced at the name tag on her chest and said, “Sorry, we aren’t in the same department.1 I have something to do.” Her marketing department was on the 7th floor while his was on the 9th floor.
Why did Mei Li appear here? Jiang Shan didn’t have to think about it to know why.

Mei Li was not depressed.
No response was the best response.
She had taken the first step and it went smoothly.
Next, she just needed to wait patiently.
She heard that Wei Yue Er was pregnant, so she couldn’t have sex.

She had sex with Jiang Shan back in college and knew that Jiang Shan had a high libido.
She didn’t believe that Jiang Shan could bear it.
Mei Li turned around triumphantly and left.

Li Su and Mother Wei came out from behind the wall.
Neither of them looked good.

“That little slut! She didn’t give up and actually came here!” Li Su gritted her teeth.

Mother Wei’s eyes flashed with resentment.
“Mother-in-law knows her?”

“Mei Li, Jiang Shan’s college classmate.
She visited Jiang Shan several times before and said that her younger brother was getting married and that he needed one hundred and eighty thousand yuan as a gift.
If she didn’t provide the money, then her parents would marry her to an old man.
I was stunned.
This slut is full of lies!” said Li Su.
“You can’t keep such a person in the company.
Yue Er is pregnant now, but she can’t get angry.
Mother-in-law, go find her and fire her!”

Mother Wei also had the same thoughts.
She knew that Mei Lli was Jiang Shan’s ex-girlfriend.
If the two of them fell back in love, what would her Yue Er do? “Mother-in-law is right.”

The two of them hurried to Wei Ding Shan’s office.

The next day, Mei Li received a notice from the personnel department that she had been fired and that the company would pay her for this month.
Because Mei Li had just joined the company and hadn’t signed the contract, the terms from the company were considered good.

Mei Li was very anxious and angry.
She changed her name to join the company, but was fired the next day.
Someone must have been behind this.

Mei Li ignored the others and went to the 9th floor, angry.
But, she calmed down the moment the elevator door opened.
She thought for a long time and ended up not entering.
Instead, she went back to her office and packed her things in silence.
She didn’t leave the company immediately, but went to the stairwell and squatted in the corner.

She knew that when Jiang Shan felt upset, his favourite place to go was the stairwell.
She was taking her chances.

After half an hour, Mei Li heard familiar footsteps.
She was right.

So, Mei Li started sobbing quietly.

“Who’s there?” Jiang Shan was smoking.
It was a habit.
He didn’t like going to the spacious and bright lounge area.
He liked to go to the dark and narrow stairwell.

“It’s you? What’s wrong?” Jiang Shan recognised Mei Li, who was looking at him with red and swollen eyes.
She had obviously been crying for a long time.
Jiang Shan’s heart softened.

Mei Li looked up at Jiang Shan.
She then stood and threw herself into Jiang Shan’s arms.
“What the hell did I do wrong for you to do this to me?! It wasn’t easy to find this job and I wanted to start over! You got someone to fire me! Why are you so ruthless to me?!”

Jiang Shan frowned slightly.
Mei Li’s crying was so sad that he couldn’t push her away since he was a gentleman.

He then responded to Mei Li’s words.
“I got you fired? When did this happen? I don’t have the ability to!”

“If it wasn’t you, then who was it? You were afraid of your wife finding out, so you fired me! I found this job after much difficulty but I was fired after only a day of work.
Why are you so cruel?!” Mei Li cried.

1.
Mei Li is from the 營銷 department and Jiang Shan is from the 市場 department.
They both translate to marketing and I don’t know what the difference is.
Sorry for the confusion.
