Chapter 1265 Whose child?

"Huh?" Liu Meilan stared in disbelief. "He looks quite handsome, and in good spirits. How could he do something like this?"

Lisa's eyes flashed with disgust. "She said she was under a lot of pressure. Who isn't under pressure when working away from home? If you're stressed, you can eat a couple more bowls of rice, a few more pieces of meat, or exercise or go on a trip—that's normal! But she chose this method, harming herself and others! So, I moved out of our shared apartment and found a new place! We're no longer in contact. He already has another woman. If we meet now, I'll just nod at most! I did this not because I wanted to be resented by him!"

Liu Meilan blinked. "You didn't call the police?"

Lisa shook her head. "I just found out he was doing this, and then the police came and arrested him. Anyone with a brain knows I called the police! He's just using drugs, not dealing them, so the punishment won't be as severe as you think! He might just be locked up for a while and then released. Won't he retaliate against me then?"

Liu Meilan nodded. "Your concerns are very valid. They can run away, but they can't hide. Such people will be caught sooner or later!"

Lisa wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes! Even if we need to call the police, we should wait until later!"

"Getting back to the point, whose child is it?" Liu Meilan asked curiously. "Is it your boyfriend?"

Lisa smiled and said, "I don't have a boyfriend! I met a tall and handsome Chinese man while I was traveling. He's a chip engineer! He's five years younger than me. After confirming that he didn't have any diseases, I secretly started dating him!"

Liu Meilan got goosebumps on her arms. "Wow, Lisa, you're really something! Looks like you've been planning this for a long time!"

Lisa laughed, "Yes! Although I had planned this for a long time, I only coveted his body, and it only lasted for three days! I didn't get away with it for nothing; I also provided him with a lot of emotional value!"

Liu Meilan shook her head and chuckled, "Alright, you two are happy, that's all that matters! Aren't you afraid that person will come looking for you?"

Lisa squinted slightly and took out a cigarette.

Liu Meilan frowned. "You're pregnant, you shouldn't smoke or drink! You might think smoking doesn't affect you much, but it has a huge impact on the fetus!"

Lisa smiled. "I just held it in my hand and smelled it. I haven't smoked since I found out I was pregnant! We met during our travels, and he used a fake name, and so did I! I didn't want him to find me, and he probably didn't want me to find him either! So, don't worry! This child is mine!"

Liu Meilan asked with concern, "Will your pregnancy affect your work?"

Lisa chuckled softly, "There are plenty of people eyeing my position! Luckily, I've done a good job over the years, so I've been valued by headquarters! I'm pregnant now, and the baby is still small, so it doesn't have a big impact. But once my belly gets bigger, I won't have as much energy, and a lot of work will have to be delegated, which will definitely affect me!"

"However, I've earned quite a bit of money over the years. I already own a house, three shops, and some stocks! I also have some rare jewelry, which is enough for me to live a decent life after I lose my job!"

Liu Meilan was taken aback. "Don't foreign countries have labor laws? It's not right to fire you as soon as you get pregnant here, is it?"

Lisa shook her head and chuckled, "That's just a fig leaf. They won't fire me, but they'll gradually sideline me, groom a new successor, and then transfer me to some undesirable positions so I'll resign voluntarily."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you really can't make it there, you can come to Dafu Jewelry after you give birth and finish your postpartum confinement! Everything I said today is true!"

Lisa's eyes were burning with desire. "Meilan, can I really do this?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Of course! You're the head of Roland's Greater China operations! If you weren't capable, how could those foreigners have put you in this position?"

Lisa was deeply moved by the recognition. "Thank you, Meilan! Actually, I had already taken note of what you were saying when you told me! If I come to work at Tai Fook Jewellery, I will definitely be able to better promote Tai Fook Jewellery's internationalization!"

Over the years, I've built a wide network of connections in the fashion industry. These connections will come in handy when I become the head of international affairs at Tai Fook Jewellery.

Liu Meilan nodded, "I still highly approve of your abilities!"

"Thank you!" Lisa felt more confident and composed.

According to the agreement the two had reached beforehand, they would sign the contract in three days!

After successfully signing the contract, Lisa made up for her previous mistakes, and Liu Meilan's top-quality pearls sold for high prices. Several other luxury brands came to buy pearls, and Liu Meilan also sold them at the same prices as the Roland brand.

All the deposits from the villagers were collected. On the day the money arrived, half was donated to the Little Bell Charity Foundation, and the other half was donated to a welfare account jointly supervised by the town government and the villagers.

When the villagers learned of Liu Meilan's heroic act, they, who had initially been somewhat unwilling, felt ashamed and remorseful. They realized that they had tried to take advantage of her with their petty intentions, but that Liu Meilan really didn't want their money; she just wanted to show her attitude and teach them a lesson.

Grandpa Liu smiled and said, "Meilan, you did a good job. There are some kinds of money we really don't need to earn."

Liu Meilan laughed, "Yes, this is considered getting something for nothing. I don't care."

"By the way, when is Fu Chen going on vacation?" Grandpa Liu asked.

Liu Meilan counted on her fingers, "There are three more days. Grandpa and Grandma are coming to rest. I'll go with him to pick them up."

"Why did they come this year?" Grandpa Liu asked worriedly. Last year, they came to support Liu Meilan, but this year things have been going well for the family.

Liu Meilan replied, "My grandparents are getting old, and their bodies are more sensitive to the environment. Our island is suitable for recuperation, and they have felt that. This year, they came here under the guise of visiting relatives, and they will stay here until the Chinese New Year before going back."

Grandpa Liu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

When the weekend came, Fu Chen returned from his vacation.

Upon learning that his grandparents were coming, Fu Chen happily hugged Liu Meilan and spun her around.

"Put me down quickly! It's rare for you to come all this way. Now that Hu Jian is in trouble and recovering in the hospital, let's go visit him together." Liu Meilan screamed a reminder, "Hu Jian isn't our biological son. He doesn't even know that yet. Don't let it slip."

Fu Chen frowned. "Why didn't you tell Hu Jian?"

Liu Meilan replied, "Sister Xiufang felt that Hu Jian was recovering from his injuries and was afraid of upsetting him, so she wanted to wait until he recovered before making any decisions. In addition, we also mobilized all our connections to investigate the situation of Hu Jian's biological parents. However, they went to Southeast Asia and we haven't heard from them."
