Chapter 1088: Chapter 1088: Pregnancy Cos Knocking
Old Master Yuan, upon hearing Jing Mingrui’s phrase “I’ve liked my own granddaughter for a long ti,” knew what was in his heart. Glancing at his granddaughter’s expression, what more was there to say?
However, he still looked at his granddaughter and asked, “Jia Ning, Grandpa will ask you once more, have you decided on your own?”
Yuan Jianing, thinking of everything Jing Mingrui had done for her over the year, had teary eyes: “Grandpa, I’ve decided.”
Old Master Yuan smiled and said, “Since you both like each other, and both families know each other well, we have no objections.”
Jing Mingrui bowed deeply to Old Master Yuan: “Thank you, Grandpa, for your blessing.”
Yuan Weizhou stood up and patted Jing Mingrui on the shoulder: “Jia Ning has been spoiled by us, you’ll have to be more patient with her in the future.”
“She’s wonderful, I’ll cherish her well, thank you for your trust, Uncle,” Mingrui responded.
There were things that Song Huizhen, the prospective mother-in-law, found difficult to voice, but Tiong Shulan, the aunt, could certainly ask: “Mingrui, since you two have been together for a while, what’s your family’s attitude towards your relationship now?”
Jing Mingrui laughed: “My family certainly wants us to get married as quickly as possible. I thought it was essential to first get the Yue Family’s approval before we could formally propose marriage.”
Tiong Shulan nodded: “Indeed, your family is more eager; you are seven years older than our Jia Ning.”
Jing Mingrui smiled and nodded: “Second Aunt, doesn’t everyone say that an older person will be more caring? I’ll definitely take good care of Jia Ning.”
Everyone in the living room burst into laughter, and Yuan Jianing tried to pinch him on the waist as a jest, but his waist was all muscle, so she could only reluctantly withdraw her hand.
She gave Jing Mingrui, who was laughing sowhat goofily, a glare.
The Yuan Family side was jubilant and harmonious, a picture of peace!

On the other side of the large courtyard, the Zhong Family, however, was visited by two uninvited guests.
In the living room of the Zhong Family, seated were the sa Zou Lina and a middle-aged woman who had previously dined with Zhong Zhaowei.
The faces of the Zhong Family mbers were all furrowed in silence.
Elder Zhong looked at the two silent won: “Speak up, what is it that you’ve co for?”
The middle-aged woman, Zou Lina’s mother Wang Fengxian, glanced at everyone: “My daughter is pregnant. I’m here to seek justice from the Zhong Family.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Zhong Family mbers all changed, and they looked toward Zhong Zhaowei, who was sitting in a corner. Elder Zhong said angrily, “Zhaowei, what exactly is going on?”
Zhong Zhaowei was now resigned to his fate: “She seduced , took advantage of my drunkenness to sche against . I am not taking responsibility for this child, and the fact that I am not asking for compensation from her is already a rcy.”
Wang Fengxian was infuriated by his words: “My decent daughter lost her reputation because of you, being ostracized at work and afraid to even step outside at ho, with neighbors talking, and yet if you had a partner, why did you involve my daughter. You moved away after causing trouble; did you ever think about the harm you’ve done to Lina? And now you even dare to say such things. I don’t believe she could force you into bed if you were unwilling. If you were unwilling, could things have reached this point and be resolved with a simple ‘I won’t take responsibility?’ If that were the case, I’d risk my life to seek justice for my daughter.”
Zhong Zhaowei sneered: “I’ve been gone so long; who knows if your precious daughter found soone else. I was drunk at the ti; who knows if that child really is mine?”
Zou Lina never expected Zhong Zhaowei could say such shaless words: “Enough, Zhong Zhaowei, you are indeed cruel, and I am indeed cheap. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this situation today. My life is already ruined, but if it can drag all of you to hell with , it will have been worth it.”
Just as everyone was pondering what she intended to do, they saw her running and crashing toward the living room wall. Zhong Wenyao, who was closest to her, tried to grab her, but it was already too late.
Zou Lina struck the wall of the Zhong Family living room directly. Perhaps, not wanting to live any longer, she used all her strength, and blood instantly flowed from her forehead.
The Zhong Family was horrified, while Wang Fengxian cried out, “Lina, my daughter, how could you be so foolish, my girl, don’t scare Mom.”
Rembering sothing, she shouted, “Help, soone help! If sothing happens to my daughter, I will not spare the Zhong Family, a family of devils.”
Elder Zhong shouted to his eldest grandson Zhong Zhaoji: “Quick, get her to the hospital.”
Zhong Caiqin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, also ca to her senses: “Dad, we can’t go to the hospital, call a doctor over to save her, if we go to the hospital, I’m afraid the matter can’t be kept quiet.”
Elder Zhong furrowed his brow and looked at his eldest daughter-in-law: “What ti is it now? If she dies, it will be even more troubling. How would our Zhong Family ever be able to face others in the courtyard?”
Zhong Caiqin, with a distressed face, said no more.
Looking over at the woman still wailing and her daughter Zou Lina in her arms, they all showed disgust.
