Preparing for pregnancy?
Lin Zhiyi’s hand holding the teacup stiffened.
From the corner of her eye, Sang Ran also glanced at her.
"Yes, just married. My husband really likes children. He said he wants to have a little ’padded jacket’ first, and we even decided on a name."
"Third Young Master is really impatient, even the name is decided. What is it?" Wen Qing asked.
"Xingxing." Sang Ran spoke slowly.
Thud, the teacup in Lin Zhiyi’s hand smashed onto the table.
"What did you say?" Her voice trembled.
"Xingxing, a name specially chosen by Third Young Master." Sang Ran emphasized the word ’specially.’
Lin Zhiyi’s anger flared wildly.
That was her daughter’s name!
How could Gong Chen give it to someone else!
Seeing Lin Zhiyi lose her composure, Wen Qing smirked slightly: "Oh, Miss Lin, what’s wrong with you? We’re talking about your mom and Xiao Ran having kids, but you’re acting as if you’re the one having kids."
Lin Zhiyi snapped back to her senses, realizing everyone was staring at her with strange expressions.
She clenched her fists and then expressionlessly pulled out a tissue to wipe the tea on the table.
"It was unstable."
Wen Qing scoffed disdainfully and said lightly: "Second Madam should really take good care of herself. After all, she’s not young anymore. If she can’t get pregnant, there’s no need to force herself. Having a beautiful face at least guarantees a worry-free life. Don’t end up with nothing, but... there are indeed many women who want to give Second Young Master children."
"Exactly, men always love the new and hate the old. No matter how youthful you look, your age is there. Having a son to rely on is crucial." Aunt Yang said as she played with her son in her arms.
Liu He choked.
She could tell that Wen Qing was mocking her for rising in status through her beauty and lacking background.
But she was not good at arguing indirectly and could only hold her teacup silently.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi threw away the tissue in her hand.
"President Wen is right, my uncle does have many flies around him, but my uncle is a decent man, he wouldn’t do anything disgusting."
"Moreover, my uncle knew from day one that my mom had poor health and couldn’t have children. If he really cared, why would he marry my mom deliberately?"
"My uncle heard that trying for a child is very harmful to a woman’s health, so he would rather not have children than allow my mom to harm her body. Otherwise, why would my mom still look as youthful as young girls after all these years?"
She wasn’t exaggerating at all.
Liu He was naturally beautiful, and with Gong Shiyan’s care, not to mention her face, even her hands were tender enough to squeeze water out.
Aunt Yang looked at her own hands and pursed her lips.
Although it was hard for her to try for a child, it was her own choice, and she had no right to sarcastically mock Liu He.
Wen Qing also clenched her teeth in anger.
But she didn’t want to lose her dignity in front of these people.
Noticing that the other women were secretly eyeing Liu He’s jewelry, she felt secretly pleased.
The next second, Wen Qing pulled Sang Ran aside and changed the topic: "Xiao Ran and I have something else to handle, you all keep chatting."
Before leaving, she pointed at the jewelry on Liu He’s neck: "Second Madam, that jewelry set is nice, I heard it’s worth over two million. It seems like your life has been quite enriching recently."
Wen Qing said something inexplicable and turned to leave.
Sang Ran looked meaningfully at Lin Zhiyi and also left.
Before Lin Zhiyi and Liu He could react, the aunts across them all brightened their eyes.
One of the aunts immediately said: "Xiao He, it seems you’ve made quite a fortune with Jiang Fen."
"Huh?"
Liu He paused, then turned to look at Aunt Yang beside her.
She had only told Aunt Yang about this.
Aunt Yang patted her child and said indifferently, "We’re all good friends. You’re already the Second Madam of the Gong Family and making so much money, you should share with us. You wouldn’t want to deliberately hide this from everyone, right?"
Liu He said awkwardly, "How could I."
With Liu He’s words, the aunts unanimously decided to invest with her.
Seeing that these people were about to make their payments, Lin Zhiyi immediately interrupted: "Do you smell something? Is it a child who made a mess? Aunt Yang, maybe you should go to the restroom to check, this being a restaurant after all."
Aunt Yang nodded, took her maternity bag, and headed to the restroom with her child.
Lin Zhiyi turned to the other three aunts and explained: "Investing is a serious matter, I think we should consider it carefully. My mom doesn’t know much about it either, why not let my mom call Aunt Jiang and explain it to you properly another day?"
"That sounds good."
