Thanks to Tuo Mai Le Di, a pile of evidence was brought back, and coupled with the direction provided by Zhan's mother, Zhan Bei Jue finally found a loophole in Mr. and Mrs. Gao's affairs.
Although many vested interests were involved, they ultimately received their due punishment.
Due to the significant scale of the incident, it made headlines on various news sections.
The news media classified it as a major event, "322."
After dealing with their matters, on the sixth day of the third lunar month, Jiang Nan Fang welcomed her fifth child.
Zhan Bei Jue had been longing for another daughter, but fate was not in his favor; he was presented with another son.
Lu Ming Zhe happened to be in South City on business and was among the first to arrive at the hospital with Zhou Jin Bei and A Zhong to offer congratulations.
Zhou Jin Bei's due date was around the same time as Jiang Nan Fang's. She had already given birth, yet Zhou Jin Bei herself was oblivious, bouncing around more energetically than anyone.
A Zhong followed closely, cautiously reminding her, "Slow down. The doctor said your due date is within these two days. Don't cause any trouble."
Lu Ming Zhe looked at Zhou Jin Bei's belly and made a bet with Zhan Bei Jue.
"She'll definitely give birth to a daughter, and one with a temperament just like hers. Do you believe me? The only person who can control her in this world is her daughter."
"What were you thinking when you let her marry A Zhong? If another female demon is born, A Zhong will suffer for life."
Zhan Bei Jue was preparing water for a new baby bottle: "I didn't make her marry him. I even tried to stop them. A Zhong was the one who jumped into the fire pit himself…"
"That's not necessarily true. What if she gives birth to a son? Anyway, I can't be the only one having sons; all of you must have them. Then we'll compete for daughters-in-law based on our strength."
As they were joking, Zhou Jin Bei's foot slipped, and she stumbled forward. Although A Zhong caught her, she twisted her waist and immediately felt abdominal pain.
Everyone rushed to help her and send her to the obstetrics department. More than three hours later, good news arrived.
Zhou Jin Bei had given birth.
Just as Lu Ming Zhe, the jinx, had predicted, it was a daughter.
A plump baby girl weighing eight catties and six ounces, her cries echoed throughout the entire obstetrics department. Because she was rosy and fair, and incredibly beautiful, all the medical staff gathered to admire her.
Tang Nan Nan and Hu Jia Sheng also came.
Hu Jia Sheng was unaffected by Mrs. Gao's incident and remained in the same state as before.
Moreover, possibly due to being in love, he appeared gentler than before, particularly courteous and likable.
The little ones couldn't help but urge him to get married every time they saw him.
"Uncle, when are you going to bring Sister Nan Nan home? Everyone is having babies. When will you two have a younger brother or sister?"
Tang Nan Nan pinched Ge'er's cheek.
"Didn't Mommy just give you a baby brother? Why do you still want a brother or sister?"
Ge'er said, "I don't want a brother. I've always wanted a sister. It seems Mommy can't fulfill this wish for me. Sister Nan Nan, hurry up and marry my uncle. I'll help raise your daughter, I guarantee she'll be raised fair and plump!"
Throughout the year, having heard so much discussion about raising children, Ge'er and Tian Tian had almost become half child-rearing experts. They would utter terms like "fair and plump," making Tang Nan Nan chuckle.
While squatting on the ground and joking with the children, Chen Jiao Jiao also arrived, accompanied by Xiang Yang.
The spring chill was biting, and pregnant women were particularly sensitive to the cold. Chen Jiao Jiao wore a fluffy coat, gloves, and a scarf, looking like she was preparing for something important.
Hearing that the sisters-in-law were giving birth on the same day, one after another, she excitedly exclaimed upon entering the ward.
"I told you, you should have both chosen C-sections and delivered at the same time, but you didn't listen to me. And now you've ended up giving birth on the same day…"
Mid-sentence, she saw Hu Jia Sheng and held back her words.
Hu Jia Sheng had met Xiang Yang once, but after such a long time, both had forgotten.
However, seeing Chen Jiao Jiao's expression, Xiang Yang likely guessed the situation.
He didn't mind and took the initiative to extend his hand to Hu Jia Sheng.
"Hello."
Hu Jia Sheng also guessed his identity and smiled, "Hello. Are you married already?"
"Yes, the baby is a few months old," Xiang Yang said, pointing to Chen Jiao Jiao's belly.
Hu Jia Sheng said with slight apology, "Congratulations. I didn't know you were married when you held your wedding, so I couldn't attend…"
Xiang Yang replied, "It's right that you didn't know; we didn't have a wedding."
Tang Nan Nan heard Hu Jia Sheng greeting someone and stood up, also nodding politely at them.
Xiang Yang looked her up and down, "Girlfriend? Aren't you going to introduce her?"
Hu Jia Sheng took Tang Nan Nan's hand and pulled her closer, introducing her.
"This is my girlfriend, Tang Nan Nan. Nan Nan, this is Chen Jiao Jiao. I mentioned her to you before. This is her husband."
Chen Jiao Jiao and Tang Nan Nan exchanged glances. They already knew each other, having been introduced by Jiang Nan Fang.
What they didn't expect was that they were actually Hu Jia Sheng's ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend.
Last month, Tang Nan Nan had been at Chen Jiao Jiao's beauty salon for a facial. Seeing her pregnant, she had showered her with compliments.
Chen Jiao Jiao liked her very much.
Although they were both a little surprised after learning the truth, since they had already accepted each other as friends, their reaction was more one of amusement.
Jiang Nan Fang had put in great effort for these friends to coexist peacefully.
To avoid ruining the atmosphere and to honor Jiang Nan Fang's thoughtful intentions, after a moment of quiet, they both extended their hands simultaneously.
"Hello."
"You're still so beautiful and in such good shape even when pregnant. I envy you."
"Of course, I'm a professional in beauty. How can I not be beautiful? Here's my business card. You're welcome to come and become beautiful together in the future."
After saying that, Chen Jiao Jiao solemnly gave Tang Nan Nan a business card and then looked at Hu Jia Sheng.
"Good taste. Your girlfriend is very pretty. Treat her well in the future."
"Say what you have to say. Don't keep it to yourself. No one can read your mind. If you don't say what you're thinking, others won't know, and won't they misunderstand you?"
Hu Jia Sheng was very happy that she spoke this way, as it meant Chen Jiao Jiao had forgiven him.
He had indeed acted wrongly in the past, failing to communicate clearly and breaking up ambiguously.
"I understand."
"Do you have plans to get married? Will you invite me when you get married?"
Hu Jia Sheng had originally planned to propose to Tang Nan Nan after the house in Su City was finalized.
Perhaps her parents would have come out by then.
But looking at it now, there seemed to be no need to wait for that.
"Of course, we're getting married. Don't worry, I'll definitely invite you then."
Chen Jiao Jiao took Tang Nan Nan's hand.
"Nan Nan, be firm. Ask for a generous betrothal gift. We are all your family here. If he dares to bully you in the future, tell us, and none of us will let him off."
"Got it, thank you, Jiao Jiao."
"Don't be so polite. Since you know I'm pregnant, you must come to my child's wedding banquet in the future."
"Did you hear that, Uncle Hu? Give my child a big red envelope."
