Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131 Vanished, Afraid
Luo Qiao touched her stomach with a smile, “It might be twins.”
Alia opened her mouth wide, “Oh my God, you’re so lucky.”
Luo Qiao let out a laugh, “I think so too.”
Alia looked down at her own stomach and then asked, “How many months pregnant are you?”
Luo Qiao looked at her stomach, her face soft, “Four months.”
Alia said happily, “Then we’re just a month apart, I’m just three months now.”
They chatted there for a while, and Alia felt that she got along very well with Xun Zhen, and said, “Xun Zhen, come over to my place sometime, I get so bored being alone at home.”
Luo Qiao smiled and agreed, but she didn’t plan on going immediately, she was a person who tended to overthink, especially since Alia’s man was suspicious, she needed to be more cautious.
Seeing her agreement, Alia said happily, “We have a party at our house next Wednesday, do you want to come?”
Luo Qiao burst into laughter, “Look at me now, I’d better not, let’s catch up some other time.”
Alia was about to say something when she heard, “Madam, it’s time to go in.”
Luo Qiao smiled and nodded, “Go ahead.”
Alia then got up and walked to the examination room.
When she came out and wanted to continue the conversation, Luo Qiao had to go in next, so they hurriedly greeted each other and went their separate ways.

Inside a luxurious office, Duanmu Liangrui was looking at the document in his hand when a knock sounded from outside, “Come in.”
His assistant walked in, “Sir, the madam has returned home, and everything was normal.”
Duanmu Liangrui nodded, gesturing for him to leave, but the man didn’t move, “Today she met that woman named Xun Zhen again.”
Duanmu Liangrui asked, “What happened?”
The assistant said, “The madam invited her to attend the party next Wednesday, but she declined, saying her belly was too big and it was inconvenient.”
Duanmu Liangrui thought for a moment, “Haven’t you checked her background and found no issues?”
The assistant nodded, “Yes, we checked, there’s no problem, she’s just an orphan who came to inherit.”
Duanmu Liangrui pulled out a cigarette from the box on the desk and lit it, thinking there was nothing unusual about the woman’s actions, “Now that the madam is pregnant and can’t go out much, inviting her over makes sense.”
The assistant, upon hearing this, nodded, “Okay.”
After the assistant left, Duanmu Liangrui took several deep drags of his cigarette, as recently something seemed off, the business was becoming increasingly problematic, as if someone was deliberately opposing him from behind the scenes.

Jun Linghui returned to Boston only to find that he had inflicted a thousand damages on the enemy but harmed himself by eight hundred, handing those relatives a grand gift, and those people were ruthless enough to risk it all to damage him.
What angered him the most was that the FBI was investigating his company today, but fortunately, he had taken all the evidence home beforehand and kept it secret.
Not waiting until the end of work, Jun Linghui went home, dismissed everyone, and then opened the secret room, but when he saw the empty secret room, he thought his eyes were deceiving him, he rubbed his eyes and looked again, still, there was nothing.
His mind went blank suddenly, this couldn’t be true; the main house’s security was top-notch, how could everything have disappeared without anyone noticing?
He couldn’t recover for a long time, stumbled out of the secret room, and returned to his study, unable to comprehend what had happened.
Only he and his grandfather knew about this, how could it all vanish silently?
Losing money was a minor issue, but the information in that room could bury the Jun family without a trace and even implicate several government officials; he dared not think of the consequences—it was terrifying.
There would be no chance for a comeback in the future.
He couldn’t tell anyone about this, so he grabbed a bottle of wine from the liquor cabinet, opened it, and drank one glass after another until he drowned his sorrows.

At this moment, Luo Qiao received the news from the Jun family and was sitting on the swing in the yard, comfortably enjoying a freshly baked cake.
Watching her two daughters and the neighbor Michael dressing up two little dogs, her Dou Dou and Hannah’s Whirlwind, who were helplessly being tormented by them.
