149: Chapter 149: Being Rushed to Give Birth by Son 149: Chapter 149: Being Rushed to Give Birth by Son Half an hour later.
Su He came out of the room.
Ella looked at her coming out so quickly and asked, “Is it solved?”
Su He looked towards Ah Gui: “Go find someone to clean up the bottles inside.”
Ah Gui nodded, “Okay, Miss Su.”
Ella peeked inside, clicked her tongue and whispered, “It seems in this lifetime, only you can really handle him.
Ah Gui and I have been persuading him for days, almost wore out our lips, and he just wouldn’t listen at all.
You took care of it in half an hour.”
Su He lifted her beautiful eyes slightly, her lips curving into a small smile, “What, are you jealous?”
Ella looked stunned, her eyes flickered, and she coughed lightly.
“Don’t talk nonsense, what am I jealous about?
You know I never like to be jealous.”
Su He smiled and patted her shoulder, “Others might not see it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t.”
Ella: “…”
“You’re never a meddler, but this time for his sake, you left the job you love and stayed here for nearly half a month.
If you tell me you have no feelings for him, I won’t believe it,” said Su He.
“I never saw you care this much for any guy.”
Ella, having been seen through, didn’t hide anymore.
A trace of desolation flickered in her eyes, she sighed, “What does it matter if I care?
Let me tell you, Ye Jiuqing is heartless, only you can soften his.”
Ella spoke with helplessness and resignation, but she didn’t envy Su He’s position in Ye Jiuqing’s heart.
On the contrary, she felt fortunate that there was at least one person in the world who could bring him a glint of light, making him feel the world was not so bleak.
Otherwise, with Ye Jiuqing’s obsessive character, he could only live forever in darkness.
Ella shook her head, a look of disgust on her face: “I don’t know what good deeds he has done to meet you, otherwise, he would still be living in that dark abyss.”
Su He: “…”
This has nothing to do with me, right?
If you talk about knowing Ye Jiuqing, I met him through Ella, she knew Ye Jiuqing before I did.
Su He half-jokingly said, “I dare not compliment his fortune.”
Ella bowed her head in contemplation for a while, then looked up at her again: “Su Su, won’t you consider him at all?
Actually, the incident with Old Mr.
Nie, it wasn’t entirely his fault.
He didn’t want to see Old Mr.
Nie suffer so much, that’s why he gave him that thing.
That thing really isn’t good, but it could relieve Old Mr.
Nie’s pain, he…”
Su He interrupted her: “Okay, let’s not talk about this.”
“Ella, even without the master’s matter, he and I are impossible in this lifetime,” she said very firmly.
“Don’t ask why, asking means not knowing.”
Ella pursed her lips, stopping herself from saying more.
Eventually, she said nothing, as it would have been futile.
–
Saturday came around, and Jing Xuan had made plans with her.
After having lunch with Grandma at the old house with Su Baobao, mother and son set off.
In the car, Su Yimo’s voice was soft as he asked, “Mommy, where are we going?”
“Your godmother wants to see you,” Su He replied.
Fifty minutes later, the car entered the underground parking lot of a shopping mall.
After parking the car, Su Yimo unfastened his seatbelt himself, opened the car door, and got out, performing a series of actions smoothly.
Before getting out of the car, he had already put on his mask and hat.
Su Yimo followed behind Su He like a little tail, coolly trailing behind.
Upon reaching the second floor, Jing Xuan had been waiting early.
As soon as she saw the cool Su Yimo, she immediately picked him up and kissed him on the cheek.
“My little baby, I’ve missed you so much.”
Su Yimo: “…”
“Ah, godmother, your lipstick is all over my mask,” the little guy’s immature voice rang out, full of disdain.
Holding him, Jing Xuan took a look, “No, it isn’t, and besides, your mask is black, it doesn’t show.
If it really bothers you, godmother will compensate you with a box later.”
While holding him, she suddenly asked, “Little baby, have you gained weight?”
Su Yimo replied, “Godmother, I’m still just a child, it’s the time for growing.”
Jing Xuan said with a smile, “Okay, whatever you want to buy, play, or eat today, I’ll foot the bill.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yimo’s big bright eyes lit up with a smile.
“Yay, yay~”
“But, is there some special occasion today?” He hugged Jing Xuan’s neck and asked, “Godmom, you seem really happy~”
Su He looked at her, also curious.
Jing Xuan kissed him on the cheek and said, “Because godmom has finally gotten rid of that scumbag’s pestering, of course I’m happy.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yimo stretched his little chubby hands out and clapped.
“Yay, congratulations godmom~”
“Godmom is beautiful, kind, and rich.
You just being your beautiful self is enough.
When baby grows up, baby will protect mom and godmom.”
Su Baobao’s childish voice brought a touch of warmth to everyone’s heart.
Jing Xuan was briefly stunned, then laughed: “Oh, our little baby is so cute and heartwarming, truly a little warm heart, I dote on you for good reason.”
After walking around for a bit, Su Yimo wanted ice cream, so they went to get some.
Jing Xuan placed the ice cream in front of him, and Su He told him, “You can only eat half.”
She doesn’t really restrict his eating, but she does have principles; he can eat, but not too much.
Looking at the vanilla-flavored ice cream, the little guy’s eyes lit up, and he nodded his little head, “Okay, mommy~”
Su He said, “Alright, eat up.”
Jing Xuan, chin resting in one hand, watched the enjoyably eating Su Baobao, and felt he was more and more adorable.
“How can I skip men and have such an adorable child?”
She sighed.
Su He leaned back on her chair and casually said, “You can’t skip that, no matter what method you choose, you still need a man to get pregnant successfully.”
Jing Xuan turned to look at her and asked, “Can I choose IVF?”
Su He glanced at her and said, “You can, but you need to be married first.”
Jing Xuan: “…”
She was quite happy hearing the first part, but the latter was unnecessary.
“In our country, without a marriage certificate, you can’t have a birth permit, so you can’t do it,” Su He explained briefly at a moderate pace.
Jing Xuan pouted, “Forget it then, I’m never going to get married in this lifetime.”
Hearing her resolute words, Su He felt they were unreliable, but she didn’t say anything.
Suddenly, Jing Xuan had a spark of inspiration, “Baobao, why not you and Master have more kids?
With your looks and intelligence, it’s a waste not to.
Plus, I’d happily help you raise them, and in the future, I can entrust the Jing Family business to them.”
Su He found this more and more absurd, her eyebrows slightly frowned, “If you want kids, have them yourself, and even a bunch, you can really say that.
Besides, your looks and intelligence aren’t bad either, it’s a waste not to have kids.”
Then she added, “Although Lu Zhiyang is a bit of a jerk, his genes are good, you might consider him.
If you don’t want any ties with him, you could take a cue from the novels’ heroines and run away pregnant.”
Upon hearing this, Jing Xuan’s entire face fell, “What kind of rotten idea is this?
Wanting me to bear Lu’s child, that’ll never happen.
Even if all the men in the world died off, leaving only him, I wouldn’t bear children for him.”
Once, she truly wanted to settle down with Lu Zhiyang and had boldly stated she would have his children, but those hopes evaporated when he chose to form an alliance through marriage with the Ye Family.
In this lifetime, it was impossible for her and him to be together.
And after finally getting rid of this trouble, she didn’t want to have anything to do with him, not even the slightest bit.
“Mommy, baby wants a little sister~”
Su Yimo, who had been focused on eating ice cream, suddenly looked up at Su He and blurted this out with his shiny black eyes.
Su He was at a loss for words: “…”
Jing Xuan paused for a moment, then laughed and gave Su Yimo a thumbs up.
Su Yimo added in his babyish voice, “And daddy agreed with me.”
Su He looked at her son with a calm expression and said lightly, “Then go ask him, don’t tell me.”
“But daddy said, without you, he can’t have a little sister by himself.”
“…”
“Hahaha…”
Jing Xuan burst out laughing, losing all composure.
“Oh my, my little baby, how can you be so adorable?
I’ve seen parents urged to have kids, but never a kid urging his parents to have more.
Baby, you’re amazing.” Jing Xuan couldn’t help but give Su Yimo a big thumbs up.
“Baobao, why don’t you just give in to the little guy.”
Su He looked at her and chuckled, not saying a word.
“…”
Then, a few of them went to the sixth floor.
“Mommy, I need to go to the bathroom.”
Su Yimo stepped out of the elevator, holding Su He’s hand.
Su He looked up at the sign and led him, “Let’s go.”
When they reached the restroom, Su Yimo said, “Mommy, I can go into the men’s restroom by myself.”
Su He was worried, for as smart and independent as he is, he’s still only a three-and-a-half-year-old child.
“No, Mommy is worried, it’s better if I go in first to see if there’s any sister or auntie (there), and ask them.”
After all, some people are still concerned about little boys entering the women’s restroom.
Jing Xuan was also worried, “Yes, listen to your mommy.
I’ll go in and check, you guys wait outside.”
Su Yimo looked up at her, then said, “Mommy, I really can do it, daddy taught me last time, nothing will happen, let me go by myself.”
Su He looked down at him, “Really?”
“Yeah, really.” The little guy nodded firmly: “Mommy, I’m your son, you have to trust me.”
Su He was amused by him, thought for a moment, and then let go: “Okay, then Mommy will wait for you outside, call me if you need anything.”
“Okay~”
After saying that, he trotted into the restroom.
Jing Xuan had just come out and did not see the little guy: “Huh, where is he?”
Su He gestured towards the men’s restroom with her chin.
“…”
“Ruozi, I had a lot of fun today.
These past few years, I’ve been too busy to come and catch up with you.”
Lou Ruozhi smiled gently and elegantly: “Yes, now that the kids are grown up, we should meet up more often in the future.”
Zhang Lanying sighed: “Yes, the kids are grown up, and what worries me most now is my second child.”
“What’s there to worry about?
Didn’t you find him a daughter-in-law?” Lou Ruozhi looked at the dignified Ye Hanqing beside her: “Miss Ye is beautiful, dignified, and elegant, gentle in temperament, obviously a filial child, and she is also a renowned dancer, how good is that.
Their children will be even more outstanding.”
Ye Hanqing, having been complimented, smiled and said, “Aunt Ruozi, you are teasing me.
Zhiyang and I are only engaged, not married yet, it’s too early to talk about kids now.”
Zhang Lanying also said, “Of course, I know how good my future daughter-in-law is, she’s good in every way, it’s just that my second child keeps dragging on not getting married, it’s been six years since they got engaged.
Ah, he’s given me high blood pressure.
If they had gotten married sooner, I’d probably be a grandmother by now.”
While talking, Zhang Lanying shifted the topic to Tang Sirou.
“Ah, Ruozi, I heard your son is also engaged, when are they getting married?
Don’t end up holding your grandson before me,” said Zhang Lanying.
Tang Sirou had been quietly listening without saying much.
She did not expect Zhang Lanying to shift the conversation to her.
Moreover, she only found out today that Lou Ruozhi actually knew people from the Beijing Lu Family, specifically Lu Zhiyang’s mother.
Zhang Lanying held a high position within the Lu Family, now being the matriarch.
Lou Ruozhi cast a glance at the silent Tang Sirou and said, “No, they’re not getting married that soon, Ziang is currently focused on his career.”
Zhang Lanying didn’t know whether she was outspoken or did it deliberately.
She suddenly asked, “I heard before that Ziang had some trouble and even got detained, is he alright now?”
The expression on Lou Ruozhi’s face stiffened slightly, but her smile remained.
“It’s alright, it was just a misunderstanding.”
“That’s good, otherwise, it would have ruined him.”
As they talked, they continued walking.
Su He and Jing Xuan just came out with the little guy, and as they turned a corner, they ran into the four people approaching.
Jing Xuan saw Zhang Lanying and Ye Hanqing, paused for a second, and a sneer curled her lips, “If I knew I would meet you today, I would have checked the calendar before going out.”
Zhang Lanying looked at Jing Xuan’s enchanting face, and her smile instantly froze.
Her expression turned gloomy, and she spoke to Jing Xuan in an unfriendly tone, “Why are you here?”
Jing Xuan heard this question and mocked, “What, you can be here, why can’t I be here?
Is this place owned by your family?
Besides, what business is it of yours where I am?
Stop being a busybody!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lanying’s face turned colors like a palette, changing moment by moment.
“Jing Xuan, how dare you!
Who allowed you to speak to me like that!
With your quality, no wonder my son doesn’t fancy you, whoever marries you is unlucky!”
Then Ye Hanqing also spoke up, “Jing Xuan, how can you speak to my aunt like that?
Aunt is Zhiyang’s mother, have you considered Zhiyang’s feelings when you talk to her like this?”
Su He, upon hearing this, understood, it turned out to be Lu Zhiyang’s mother, but why was she with Lou Ruozhi?
And they looked quite familiar with each other, even linking arms…
Also, their words were quite unpleasant, full of sarcasm!
Jing Xuan’s red lips curled, and a cold laugh escaped her, a hint of cold light appearing in her eyes.
She looked at Ye Hanqing, words sharp as knives: “What does Lu Zhiyang’s mother have to do with me?
What are his feelings to me?
Besides, I’ve always treated others the way they treat me!”
After she said that, she turned her gaze towards Zhang Lanying.
She didn’t get angry because of her words but remained calm.
She said, “Baobao, cover baby’s ears.”
Although Su He was puzzled, she still pulled her son over and covered his ears with both hands.
Jing Xuan took two steps forward, her eyebrows arching, her beauty enchanting and alluring as a blooming red rose, irresistibly enticing.
“Madam Zhang Lanying, what do you think your son is?
He’s just a man who slept with me and was discarded by me, do you think he’s lined with gold?
Expecting all women to revolve around him, right?
Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, has your son not returned to Beijing recently?
Do you know where he is?”
Her voice crisp, filled with mockery.
Zhang Lanying and Ye Hanqing’s faces at this moment were more spectacular than any face-changing master.
Jing Xuan, seeing their faces uglier than rotten eggs, was internally very pleased.
She chuckled lightly, “Don’t know?
Then, out of sheer mercy, let me tell you, your son has been sticking to me like chewing gum, shamelessly clinging to me no matter how much I shove him away or scold him.
I can’t help it, my charm is too great, but let me clarify that your son seduced me, not the other way around.
Right now, he’s just an old shoe to me, and I have no interest in competing with your gentle and proper daughter-in-law.
After all, I can’t afford to indulge in a mother-in-law like you; I want to live a few more years!
Also, please take him away.
Honestly, I get irritated just seeing him.
If you take your golden boy away, I’ll definitely go to the temple to pray for your long life and prosperity.”
“Yo…
you…”
Zhang Lanying was so angry she couldn’t utter a word, her trembling finger pointing at Jing Xuan.
Jing Xuan didn’t care, lifting her eyelids and speaking mockingly, “What, can’t stand it?
Does this sound familiar to you?”
Over the years, the insults from Zhang Lanying to her were not even a tenth of what she was saying now.
If it weren’t for being in public, she would have said even more.
Zhang Lanying, flustered, directly started slandering, “Jing Xuan, do you think you are any better?
Unmarried but already have an illegitimate child, none of your Jing Family are good, your mother wasn’t any better, truly a chip off the old block, only your mother could give birth to such a shameless daughter!”
Jing Xuan frowned deeply: “You old witch, are you sick?”
Su He, seeing her about to move forward, immediately stopped her, “Xiaxia, don’t be impulsive!”
Su He let go of Su Yimo and stepped forward to grab Jing Xuan’s hand.
Following that, her cold and icy eyes stared at Zhang Lanying, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Zhang Lanying’s heart tensed.
This feeling, it was like seeing her son when he was angry.
“Mrs.
Lu, I originally wanted to respect you as an elder and not take you too seriously, but you seem unworthy!”
Zhang Lanying opened her mouth, about to speak, but Su He cut her off.
“How our Xiaxia is, does not need an outsider like you to judge.
Her goodness, your son truly does not deserve her, nor does your Lu Family.
To put it bluntly, even if your son begged to be with our Xiaxia, we wouldn’t want him!
Mrs.
Lu, as an elder and the matriarch of the Lu Family, your behavior is indeed baffling, capable of uttering such sarcastic, mean, and unsubstantial words, it seems your upbringing is also not up to par.”
Hearing Su He say this, Jing Xuan turned and looked at her, her eyes somewhat moist.
“I’ll leave you with a word, to be disrespectful at an old age courts disaster for your descendants.
Some things are not unaccounted for, just not yet come to pass, and some words, if spoken too much, be careful of the calamity they bring.”
Each word from Su He was like an invisible needle, pricking at Zhang Lanying’s heart, making it hurt even more.
The words Jing Xuan had just said made her angry, but now, she felt not only anger but a stark humiliation.
She had lived for more than fifty years, and this was the first time someone had said she lacked manners.
Zhang Lanying’s old face turned red, looking as hideous as a pig’s liver.
These sharp-tongued, eloquent people.
Lou Ruozhi, standing aside and listening, originally wanted to say something, but seeing Su He emanating chills, she didn’t dare say much.
After all, she had experienced her sharp tongue.
Moreover, she didn’t want Zhang Lanying to know about her relationship with Su He since she still needed her favor.
Elsewhere.
Lu Zhiyang was at Jiang Yan’s company when he received a message from his bodyguard.
