Chapter 1243 Showdown
"What Liu Yingxia is worried about is simply losing her position as director!" Lin Hao said calmly.

“Then I can guarantee you a safe haven and give Liu Yingxia a guarantee. I will keep the director position for her. When she comes back after giving birth, she can still be the director.”

"This~!" Jia Kuan felt a little embarrassed.

This is sacrificing Lin Hao's company's interests to help him. Although he really wanted to do so, he didn't want to put Lin Hao in a difficult position.

Because this is different from simply helping them. One is simply helping, while the other is harming oneself to benefit others. If it is not handled well, the brotherhood will fade in the future.

Among the three brothers, he was the weaker one. Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming did not look down on him and always treated him as an equal brother. He could not make things difficult for his brothers, nor did he want to lose this bond.

"Is there any other way?" Jia Kuan asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Hmm~!" Lin Hao pondered for a moment and said, "You've reminded me. I just thought of a crooked trick that would suit you guys!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me in detail!"

Lin Hao leaned closer to Jia Kuan and whispered, "We can do this, then this, then that, then that and that..."

After Lin Hao finished explaining his underhanded trick, Jia Kuan stared at Lin Hao in disbelief, then said in utter shock:

"To be honest, it's you capitalists who are suffering the most!"

"You don't know anything! You're just ungrateful!" Lin Hao said irritably.
"If even this trick doesn't work, then you really need to think about it sooner rather than later!"

After saying that, Lin Hao shook his head and stopped discussing Jia Kuan's family matters; he had said enough today.

At this moment, Jia Kuan felt a little dazed after hearing Lin Hao's last words.

······
On the other hand, Jiang Nan's sudden return home was also to comfort her elderly father, Wan Yaoming.

Wan Yaoming kept a very close eye on his little cabbage, but unexpectedly, Lin Hao still managed to steal her away.

There was nothing he could do; Jiang Nan had moved into the Lin family's house, so Wan Yaoming had no choice but to know.

Fortunately, Wan Yaoming admired Lin Hao quite a bit, so he didn't come directly to the capital. However, he quickly summoned his daughter back to ask what was going on, fearing that his daughter might have suffered a loss.

"Have you been waiting long?" After finishing what he was doing, Wan Yaoming hurried home to find his beloved daughter.

"No, I mean, Comrade Wan!" Jiang Nan said coquettishly, pulling on Wan Yaoming's arm.
"You summoned me back in such a hurry, and now I've been waiting for over an hour. Do you think that's appropriate?"

"Isn't there a meeting?" Wan Yaoming said, looking Jiang Nan up and down, then asked with concern:
"How have you been lately? You seem to have lost weight. Do you have enough money?"

Wan Yaoming rattled off a whole string of questions, leaving Jiang Nan somewhat speechless. "With so many questions coming at me, which one am I supposed to answer?"

"Hmph~!" Wan Yaoming said irritably.
"If you hadn't stopped contacting us and even moved into Lin Hao's house, I don't know when I would have seen you again!"

"Also, this is what your mom asked me to ask. When she gets back later, you'll see how to explain it to her!"

"Ah, you all know!" Jiang Nan said shyly, a blush creeping onto her face.

This means their past has been exposed. It's clear that the old man hired someone to follow him—no, to protect himself—because they discovered his relationship with Lin Hao.

"What do you think?" Wan Yaoming said irritably.

"Oh, don't worry about my business!" Jiang Nan immediately started to whine and change the subject.

"Anyway, I'm well-fed and warm, I haven't lost any weight, and I don't lack money, so you don't need to worry too much. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"You're just trying to fool me!" Wan Yaoming glared at Jiang Nan before saying with a look of disgust:

"You're so focused on dating Lin Hao right now, you don't have time to think about yourself!"

"Let me tell you, that kid is really bad, especially lately. He's been so unruly. He tricked my precious daughter away without a word. What kind of good person is he!"

"No, how is that improper? How is that not a good person?" Jiang Nan said confidently, "What's wrong with me dating him?"

"And he told me that we can get our marriage certificate anytime!" Jiang Nan added at the end.

Jiang Nan originally wanted to test her father's intentions after returning home, but Wan Yaoming was not someone her daughter could easily see through.

Therefore, Jiang Nan's probing not only failed to uncover Wan Yaoming's thoughts, but also revealed her own secrets.

Although she was a little angry at her daughter for being so disappointing, her expression softened after hearing from Jiang Nan that Lin Hao had promised to marry her anytime.

"So when are you planning to get married?" Wan Yaoming immediately became interested when the topic of marriage came up.

"Dad~!" Jiang Nan hesitated for a moment, but since things had already progressed to this point, there was no point in hiding it.

Then, somewhat nervously, he asked, "When do you think would be a good time?"

Seeing his daughter's shy expression, Wan Yaoming said expectantly:

"Of course, the sooner the better. Lin Hao's family background is a good match for ours. The key thing is that I've been looking forward to holding my grandson for a long time!"

“Dad!” Jiang Nan immediately objected when her father teased her, shaking Wan Yaoming’s hand and refusing to let go.

"Sigh!" Wan Yaoming sighed, patted his daughter's hand reluctantly, and then said:

You've been very independent since you were little. You graduated from university at 22 and have been with Lin Hao for almost half a year now. You're almost 28, and I've been worried about your marriage.

"I haven't been pressuring you at all!" Wan Yaoming smiled and continued, "Of course, even if I had tried to persuade you, it probably wouldn't have made any difference!"

"Lin Hao is not only a married man, but he also didn't expect you to be so deeply in love with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to let you work at his small company!"

"But no matter what, I'm quite happy that you two have finally gotten together. How about you find some time to have him come and see me? I can't very well go to see him in person!"

In the end, Wan Yaoming arrogantly stated that Lin Hao would have to come to his door in person.

Overall, Jiang Nan's return home went relatively smoothly, especially after explaining her relationship with Lin Hao to her father.

Having gained her father's forgiveness, and after being nagged by her mother all night, Jiang Nan finally managed to escape and prepared to return home.

······
next day
When Jia Kuan arrived at the company, he found that Liu Yingxia was still ignoring him, realizing that his parents-in-law had failed to persuade her. However, he did nothing for the time being because Lin Hao hadn't made any preparations for him yet; he would have to wait until everything was ready before resolving the issue once and for all.

Fortunately, Jia Kuan didn't have to wait too long. On the third day, Lin Hao had everything arranged, so Jia Kuan prepared to take action.

Jia Kuan went home early, settled his parents-in-law in, and then cooked a big meal, waiting for Liu Yingxia to return.

When Liu Yingxia returned home and saw this scene, before Jia Kuan could even speak, she said without any mercy:

"Jia Kuan, don't think that just because you cook me a meal, I'll agree to have your child. This is not negotiable!"

"Don't expect that staying at Lin Hao's place for a few days will solve all our problems!"

"Please sit down, let's have a good chat!" He said, pulling out a chair for Liu Yingxia to sit down and talk.

"Let's talk!" Liu Yingxia said expressionlessly. "If it's just the same old stuff, then let's not keep repeating it!"

"My stance is very clear: either abort the child or get a divorce!" Liu Yingxia said without any hesitation.

"Tsk~!" Jia Kuan really felt a toothache. Liu Yingxia told him not to say the same old thing, but she herself kept repeating the same two sentences.

Then Jia Kuan said helplessly, "Can't we talk this out properly and stop bringing up divorce all the time!"

"Fine, I won't say the word 'divorce'!" Liu Yingxia said nonchalantly.

"After Lin Hao and Jian Ai got together, weren't they living quite well?"

Although Liu Yingxia didn't say the word "divorce," she was still talking about divorce. Jia Kuan felt helpless. If it weren't for the children, he really would have divorced!

"You know whether they're good friends or not!" Suppressing his displeasure, Jia Kuan sighed and said, "You saw it, didn't you? They told you!"

"I used to think that after Lin Hao and Jian Ai divorced, he would definitely hide under the covers and cry every day!"

"But I've been staying at Lin Hao's place for the past two days. I don't know about Jian Ai's place, but Lin Hao is doing quite well!"

"Don't keep putting me in this position. You're just trying to say that if I divorce you, I won't have a good life from now on!" Liu Yingxia said defiantly.

But only Liu Yingxia knew that she was actually a little guilty when she said those words.

"I'm telling you today, I'm not afraid!" Sensing that Jia Kuan had challenged her authority, she changed the subject:

“Jane divorced him and became a director through her own abilities. She’s living a carefree life now, so why is she not living a good life?”

"But they still got divorced, didn't they?" Jia Kuan said seriously, "Look at Jian Ai, she's living a carefree life now, but she's still all alone!"

"You two are best friends. Do you think she regrets it now that she sees Lin Hao and Jiang Nan together?"

"Besides, if you really encounter difficulties, how pitiful it would be if you didn't even have anyone to rely on!"

Liu Yingxia knew about Jian Ai's situation, and it was precisely because she sensed that Jian Ai regretted the divorce that she didn't immediately have an abortion.

"You think you can compare to Lin Hao?" Seeing Jia Kuan's smug expression, Liu Yingxia said again with a look of disdain:

"Jia Kuan, can't you face your own problems? Do you think I can rely on you? Can I even count on you?"

"Why can't I rely on someone else!" Jia Kuan thought to himself, dissatisfied, and then analyzed the situation point by point:
"You tell me, we've been married for so many years, have I ever let you do any housework? No, I haven't!"

"Don't I love you and pamper you? I even hand over my salary card. I don't have any savings left. I listen to you in everything. Isn't that enough?!"

"It's enough! But it's not entirely enough. You call this stability, but what I need is a sense of security!" Liu Yingxia said impatiently.

Liu Yingxia understood that Jia Kuan was telling the truth, but it was precisely because he was telling the truth that she felt resentful.

"Am I not safe enough now?" Jia Kuan said, somewhat speechless. "I haven't betrayed you, and I listen to you on everything at home!"

"Of course, besides divorce and having children, what else do you want!"

"Do you even know what a sense of security is?" Liu Yingxia said firmly.
"A sense of security means that when I open my eyes this morning, I don't have to worry about this month's mortgage and car loan payments, and I don't have to be anxious about my position at the company!"

"I dare to take leave, I dare to get sick, I dare to have children. I have no worries about food or clothing. I can do whatever I want, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan's breath caught in his throat. He also wanted such a good thing, but was it realistic?

Jia Kuan silently analyzed:

"According to your requirements, let alone you and me, even Lin Hao or Zhou Yiming would have achieved financial freedom long ago, but we don't see them doing whatever they want!"

"Don't even mention them, even the highest leaders of any country don't get to do whatever they want!"

Then Jia Kuan said somewhat listlessly:
"I still don't understand. There are so many people whose circumstances are worse than ours, yet they don't want to have children!"

"That's someone else, I'm talking about myself, it's me, it's me!" Liu Yingxia said angrily.

"Alright, alright, we'll talk to you now!" Even after saying all that, Jia Kuan still wanted to make one last effort.

“During the two days I stayed at Lin Hao’s house, he heard about our situation, so he gave you a guarantee that the position of director would be reserved for you. You can continue to be the director after you give birth and come back!”

However, upon hearing Jia Kuan's words, Liu Yingxia felt not happy, but even more aggrieved, and directly rebuked Jia Kuan angrily:
"Do you all think that I, Liu Yingxia, must stay at VG as the director?"

“I can give birth to your child and be a full-time mom. I know that at my age, this is my last chance to have a child!”

“But Jia Kuan, do you know that besides being your wife and the mother of your child, I can’t lose myself? Do you know how difficult it is for a stay-at-home mom to return to the workforce?”

"How are we going to live in the future? Are you going to take care of us?" Liu Yingxia questioned Jia Kuan. "Can you support this family?"

Liu Yingxia's words left Jia Kuan speechless, and for a moment he didn't even know how to refute her.

Their combined income was over ten thousand, and that was before they became directors.

Liu Yingxia is now the director and he is the deputy director. Their combined income is close to 30,000 yuan. Can't they support their family even with that?
Everything Liu Yingxia said before can be completely covered here. They even invested in Zhou Yiming's company. Although they were only minor shareholders, it was still seven or eight hundred thousand yuan!

Not to mention, the national average income is only two or three thousand yuan, their income is almost ten times that of ordinary people, and even in Beijing where it is not easy to live, they are definitely a super high-income group.
