This guy's ability to seize opportunities and go with the flow was top-notch, and his brainwashing skills were even more impressive.
Counting back Jiang Yushuang's pregnancy, it was more than half a year ago.
At that time, there were constant rumors online, saying that Young Master Jian was incapable, and that after nearly ten years of marriage, they still had no children.
Jian Zhou must have used this to feign pity, reverse psychology, and provoke Jiang Yushuang into agreeing to have a child to dispel the rumors.
Tsk tsk, this fellow was truly cunning!
Fortunately, he wasn't her husband, otherwise she really couldn't imagine how married life would be.
Looking at Jiang Yushuang, Jiang Ling thought that smart people had more worries because they understood too much and their hearts were too tired. It was happier to be muddled and not to care about anything.
This was exactly what they meant by "fools have foolish blessings."
Jiang Yushuang marrying such a shrewd husband who took care of everything for her was also a kind of happiness, wasn't it?
Young Master Jian, who was abroad, was overjoyed to learn that his darling little fool was pregnant. He quickly finished his affairs and rushed back to be by her side.
Before Jian Zhou could even enter the ward, he learned from Jiang Ling that his sister-in-law was pregnant, and he was immensely happy.
In his previous life, his brother and sister-in-law had died in a car accident without leaving any children. When their parents spoke of it, they would cry their eyes out, heartbroken.
Mother Jian even blamed herself repeatedly, regretting why she had agreed to let her eldest son be with her sister-in-law, which resulted in no son to see them off after their deaths.
Since Jian Zhou's rebirth, his greatest fear was that his brother and sister-in-law would repeat the tragedy of their previous lives.
Now that his sister-in-law was pregnant, everything had reversed, and the tragic fate had been broken. How could he not be happy?
Jian Zhou immediately called Lai Qing, who was in Hong Kong.
Lai Qing was a seasoned financial expert whom Jian Zhou had heavily recruited since his rebirth to manage his stock market operations.
Before reaching his younger years in this life, under Jian Zhou's guidance, Lai Qing had already made hundreds of billions.
"Hello!"
"Second Young Master, do you have any instructions for calling me?"
"I saw the news, and in a few days, Christie's in Hong Kong will be holding an auction?"
"Yes, this is Christie's large-scale auction event held once every three years. Every item on auction is the cream of the crop. Second Young Master, what are you asking about this for?"
"I remember lot number 96 is a pair of jade pendant rings from the Qianlong era. Help me acquire it."
"Yes!"
Hanging up the phone, a smile played on Jian Zhou's lips.
These jade pendant rings were custom-made by the prodigal Emperor Qianlong for himself and his mother, Empress Dowager Chongqing, at the time of his enthronement.
Not only were they made of the finest Hetian lamb fat jade, but they also carried the beautiful meaning of happiness and longevity.
Qianlong was the longest-reigning emperor in the feudal imperial era, and his mother, Niohuru Shi, was the longest-reigning empress dowager.
The mother and son lived to eighty-six and eighty-nine years old respectively, their lifespans being remarkably long.
In recent years, there had been film and television dramas portraying unofficial histories, claiming that Qianlong was not Niohuru Shi's biological son. Sometimes it was said that Qianlong's birth mother was a palace maid at the Rehe temporary palace, sometimes that he was the son of the Chen family in Haining, and sometimes that his birth mother was Madam Qian.
These were pure nonsense.
Modern medicine had already proven that a child's longevity genes were largely inherited from the mother.
If it weren't for Niohuru Shi, the longest-living empress dowager in history, how could she have given birth to Qianlong, the longest-reigning emperor?
These two were undoubtedly mother and son.
Although Emperor Qianlong did not perform particularly well as an emperor, his taste was vulgar, and he was a universally disliked, extremely prodigal son.
