Chapter 1245 Wedding Banquet Invitation, Personal Thoughts

"I'll go buy one for you to test!" Lin Hao immediately got out of bed to buy a pregnancy test.

When Lin Hao came downstairs, Jiang Nan couldn't help but feel uneasy. On the one hand, she was glad that she was pregnant and that her relationship with Lin Hao was stable, but on the other hand, she was worried that Jian Ai might cause some trouble again.

The assistant manager recruited by the administration department was indeed intended to supervise the company, but Jiang Nan felt that Jian Ai was tempting Lin Hao.

Actually, she had a vague idea of ​​Jane's intentions at the time; it was probably the feeling that if she couldn't have it, neither could the other person.

It might seem like she was judging a gentleman by her own petty standards, but Jiang Nan's intuition told her that Jian Ai had such thoughts.

Now that Lin Hao has a child, there's not much to worry about, but the hidden dangers arranged by Jian Ai haven't disappeared and still need to be addressed eventually.

Of course, this thought didn't just arise overnight. As Lin Hao's bedmate, she experienced his formidable physical prowess every day, which made her compelled to give it serious consideration.

Therefore, when she went home this time, she secretly told her mother about it, and her mother's answer was not unexpected.

Rather than letting things drift, it's better to take the initiative and bring the situation under control.

Moreover, her mother frankly told her that her father had been keeping several mistresses outside the home for many years, but these men were all under her control, so the family had been peaceful all these years.

Men, they only have a few hobbies. Let alone someone as physically strong as Lin Hao, even those who aren't that physically strong have incredibly fickle hearts.

Rather than letting the other person mess around outside, it's better to have a few stable bed partners. Besides, Lin Hao has been relatively clean-living in the past and hasn't messed around outside, so there's even less need to control him too strictly.

Thinking about what her mother had said, and Lin Hao's powerful physique, she knew she had to make plans as soon as possible. Perhaps she should go along with Jian Ai's arrangement and turn the tables on him.

But after a while, Lin Hao still hadn't returned, and Jiang Nan started to worry.

Just then, Lin Hao returned with a box of contraceptive sticks, casually took out a pregnancy test, and told Jiang Nan to quickly take a test.

"Honey, it's really happening!" Jiang Nan's excited shout could be heard even before the pregnancy was over.

"Let me see!" Lin Hao took the pregnancy test, and sure enough, there was a line on it.

"The measurement at this time might not be accurate. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to measure again; that will be more accurate." Lin Hao paused here, then smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Forget it, let's go to the hospital for a checkup. If we don't get a final diagnosis today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"Okay, let's go now!" Jiang Nan thought Lin Hao made sense. Although she was definitely pregnant, it was always better to go to the hospital to confirm.

Lin Hao then accompanied Jiang Nan downstairs and made a phone call to the private hospital to schedule a check-up for her.

The test results did not disappoint them; Jiang Nan was indeed pregnant. Afterward, the two discussed their wedding date.

Lin Hao suggested to Jiang Nan, "We originally planned to hold the wedding after the company stabilized, but now that the baby is here, shouldn't we hold the wedding earlier?"

Jiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "Let's not go for it. We're not in such a hurry. Let's just proceed as planned!"

"However, I can tell my family about my pregnancy first. My parents have been wanting to have a grandchild for a long time!"

Jiang Nan's words were exactly what Lin Hao wanted to hear, and the reason Lin Hao said this was mainly to reassure Jiang Nan, as Lin Hao had a wealth of experience in this area.

Especially for women who are newly pregnant, their emotions are extremely unstable. Of course, it depends on the individual, but most women have this tendency.

Lin Hao's approach is more like taking preventative measures, preparing medicine before problems arise, prioritizing preparedness.

As expected, Jiang Nan was overjoyed to hear Lin Hao's thoughtful words and no longer wanted to disrupt the plan, so she was no longer in such a hurry.

Lin Hao and Jiang Nan returned home, and Lin Hao suddenly suggested:
"By the way, we have such a big celebration today, we should invite some people to celebrate together. How about I call Jia Kuan, Zhou Yiming, and the others over to celebrate together?"

“Great!” Jiang Nan nodded without hesitation and said, “You contact Brother Kuan and the others, and I’ll talk to Lao Wan about it!”

It turned out that when Lin Hao tried to check on Jia Kuan and the others, he found Jia Kuan explaining the reason for the divorce to his former father-in-law.

It turned out that after Liu Yingxia divorced Jia Kuan, she went straight home. When Liu Yingxia's parents saw that Jia Kuan hadn't come back with her, they were naturally a little surprised and asked Liu Yingxia a question.

As a result, Liu Yingxia threw out the divorce certificate and said coldly, "We're divorced!"

"Hey~, I'm talking to you guys!" Liu's father was furious when he heard this.

They had been getting along very well before, but in the blink of an eye, they got divorced. Neither Liu's father nor his mother could accept this news.

This was completely unexpected, and they then questioned Liu Yingxia, but she stubbornly refused to say anything.

Left with no other choice, Liu's father called Jia Kuan to discuss the matter.

After meeting, Jia Kuan recounted in detail the content of his last conversation with Liu Yingxia that morning.

Not to mention Jia Kuan, even Liu's father couldn't understand what Liu Yingxia was thinking. However, he was also dissatisfied with Jia Kuan for agreeing to the divorce.

He then found Jia Kuan and started arguing with him. At that moment, Lin Hao happened to check on him and discovered Jia Kuan's awkward situation.

At the same time, Lin Hao realized that their divorce seemed to be a bit out of the ordinary, so he thought of calling Zhou Yiming over as well to comfort Jia Kuan and tell them the good news that Jiang Nan was pregnant.

After Lin Hao finished contacting Zhou Yiming and Jia Kuan, Jiang Nan also hung up the phone with Wan Yaoming.

Then, hugging Lin Hao excitedly, she said, "My dad said he's flying over to see me tomorrow, and he even said~!"

Seeing that Jiang Nan was too agitated, Lin Hao quickly reassured her, "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, let's talk slowly!"

After Jiang Nan calmed down, Lin Hao asked, "And then what else did you say?"

“My dad even said you have quite the airs. He didn’t even get to see you, his prospective son-in-law, but he, the father-in-law, showed up first!” Jiang Nan laughed as she spoke.

Lin Hao chuckled and said, "It was indeed my fault, but the situation was special. I didn't feel comfortable letting you travel by plane!"

It was still early, so Lin Hao and his companion lingered for a while. When it was almost time, they started preparing dinner and waited for Zhou Yiming and the others to arrive.

Later that evening, Lin Hao personally cooked another delicious meal. When everyone arrived and saw Lin Hao still cooking, they all offered to help, but ended up tasting Lin Hao's dishes first.

Seeing this, Lin Hao said irritably, "Hey, you all just start eating as soon as you arrive. Don't just talk about helping. I've almost finished cooking, and I haven't seen any of you lift a finger to help."

"What you're saying is ridiculous! Anyone who says that just talking doesn't count as helping!" Jia Kuan retorted confidently.

"To be honest, we never realized before that you, Lin Hao, could cook so well. Your dishes are even better than those in five-star hotels!" Zhou Yiming said with a smile.

Jia Kuan added, "Yes, I've rarely seen you cook before. How come you're such a good cook?"

"Okay, hurry up and bring the dishes to the table, let's eat!"

The group ate and chatted, and Lin Hao and Jiang Nan invited them to their wedding a month later.

After the congratulations, Lin Hao led the conversation to the topic of Jia Kuan and Liu Ying's divorce.

Finally, Jia Kuan explained the whole story of his divorce from Liu Yingxia, which made Hui Zi and Jiang Nan understand his decision to some extent.

In fact, Lin Hao had already guessed where the problem lay between Liu Yingxia and Jia Kuan, but he also knew that the problem was not limited to the child and the divorce on the surface.

The deeper reason, which may sound a bit unpleasant, is that Liu Yingxia had a "turnaround" mentality, feeling that Jia Kuan was inferior to her, so she could only express her psychological superiority through that kind of resentment.

"Look, so what if you graduated from a prestigious university? You're still not as good as someone who graduated from a low-level school like mine!"

"Over the years, through my own efforts, I have left you far behind. You are a good-for-nothing, still standing still, not even as good as me, a woman."

That's roughly the mindset. And now, with Lin Hao's help, Jia Kuan has become the deputy director. Although he's not as good as Liu Yingxia, the director, he's finally reached a similar level.

In her eyes, Jia Kuan, this good-for-nothing, relied entirely on his brother's help and surpassed all her efforts over the years, which made her feel unbalanced.

Of course, another point is that I was too influenced by Jane Ai and always wanted to learn from her to be an independent woman and to be as free and easy as her.

The problem is that Liu Yingxia doesn't have the same abilities as Jian Ai. She got her position as director entirely because of Jian Ai's help, and she didn't even know that Jia Kuan was secretly asking Lin Hao to take care of her.

These are just the surface issues. Lin Hao, combining the original plot, also analyzed a reason unknown to others.

That was Liu Yingxia's inner desire: for Jia Kuan to devote himself entirely to her, rather than focusing his attention on the children, brothers, and work.

That's right, Liu Yingxia is indeed a selfish person, and the two mindsets mentioned earlier stem from this.

It was only through the pregnancy that it came to light. In the original drama, her eventual willingness to have a child was due to a variety of external factors.

For example, Yan Shuai from headquarters threatened her to defect, exposed that she and Jia Kuan were husband and wife, and that Jia Kuan would give up his job and become a full-time househusband. Only then did she finally compromise and give birth to the child in peace.

Under Lin Hao's guidance, Jia Kuan also realized this point. However, Lin Hao believed that Jia Kuan only wanted to save his marriage and child.

What I didn't expect was that Jia Kuan would be so decisive, divorcing Liu Yingxia directly. And he seemed even more extreme than me, not only not wanting to remarry, but also yearning for freedom and to enjoy the glamorous world.

However, Lin Hao was supportive of this, thinking that a scumbag is a scumbag, and it's better than making himself suffer.

Furthermore, why should men have to compromise themselves? Why should they be subjected to psychological manipulation by women? When will men be able to stand up for themselves?

After dinner, Huizi and Jiang Nan got along very well and eventually went to the side to whisper to each other. It was obvious that it was about the child.

The reason the two of them got along so well, besides having children, was also largely because Liu Yingxia and Jian Ai weren't there today.

In the past, whenever they got together, whether it was Jiang Nan or Hui Zi, they were always like invisible people.

Deep down, Jian Ai and Liu Yingxia couldn't truly understand Huizi. After all, they were both highly educated women, while Huizi was just an artist.

Hui Zi was clearly not stupid; she had already realized that they didn't like her, so Jiang Nan was much easier to talk to than them.

The key point is that they are not much different in age, and they are all the girlfriends of the three brothers, so they naturally get along better than the two old men.

Only the three brothers remained in the restaurant. Zhou Yiming looked at Jia Kuan and asked:

"Brother Kuan, didn't you divorce Liu Yingxia to keep the child? What were you thinking? What are your plans for the future?"

Just like when he divorced Lin Hao, Zhou Yiming also asked Jia Kuan about his relationship with Liu Yingxia, whether there was any possibility of remarriage, or how he should get along with Liu Yingxia in the future.

When Jia Kuan saw Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming looking at him with concern, he could only sigh helplessly in the end.

“What can I think? I also want a child, but Liu Yingxia is unwilling to give one. She gave me a single-choice question that seemed to have multiple options.”

"Since we can't save the child no matter what, and she's wanted a divorce for a long time, what's the point of maintaining this marriage? We might as well separate sooner!"

As he spoke, Jia Kuan looked at Jiang Nan, who was chatting enthusiastically with Hui Zi, and thought about how Lin Hao would soon have a child. While he was happy for Lin Hao, he also started to make his own little plans.

Especially after hearing the news over the phone, Jia Kuan felt a surge of excitement and became even more certain of his decision.

Of course, there is another reason that is not widely known: two of the three brothers have married young and beautiful wives, and he is naturally also eager to marry one.

At this moment, Jia Kuan was also dreaming of finding a young and beautiful wife and having a big, healthy son.

Lin Hao didn't question Jia Kuan; instead, he directly stated, "Fine, whatever decision you make, I'll support you!"

"I just hope that your decision wasn't influenced by me, because that makes me uneasy!"

When Lin Hao learned that Jia Kuan had chosen to divorce and wanted to find a younger wife, he supported him.

After all, some of Liu Yingxia's behaviors are really unlikable. She's almost forty years old, yet she still thinks she's a fairy!
"Divorcing Liu Yingxia was my own choice!" Jia Kuan waved his hand, then said sincerely:
“I know you think I will compromise for the sake of the child and continue living with Liu Yingxia, but I’ve had enough and I don’t want to compromise anymore.”

"The choice to divorce is none of anyone else's business. On the contrary, it was you who helped me analyze the situation and truly understand that I should take control of my own life, instead of handing my destiny over to others!"

No wonder this drama started strong but ended weakly. From episode 29 onwards, it became a mess. The business battles were terrible, the office management was child's play, and the ending was full of overly compassionate sentimentality. It was like trying to make dumplings, but they didn't even manage to make them well.

The common mindset is that good people are rewarded and bad people are punished, but the ending insists on good people forgiving bad people, men being oppressed and forced to give way to women's independence, and in the end, it turns out to be a mindset of appeasing women. It disgusts me.
