Chapter 163: Chapter 163: If the Child’s Father is He Jingyao
Xia Xinyu smiled bitterly, “I understand now, I’ve disturbed you today, aunt.”
After finishing, she put down the cup in her hand and walked out.
Only after Xia Xinyu’s figure disappeared at the door did Liu Minjun take Su Zixi’s hand and say, “No matter what she told you, don’t take it to heart. I did indeed fancy her as a daughter-in-law at the beginning, but our families never officially finalized a marriage arrangement. Moreover, Jingyao has given the Xia Family sufficient compensation.”
Su Zixi nodded, “I know.”
She also knew that Xia Xinyu had once threatened to commit suicide, which only made He Jingyao dislike Xia Xinyu even more.
“That’s good.” Liu Minjun smiled, “Come on, let me take you to see Ziyi.”
…
He Ziyi had already taken a bath and changed into fresh clothes, looking like an exquisite doll, quietly sitting in a corner playing with her toy.
“Ziyi is mostly very well-behaved,” Liu Minjun’s voice carried a touch of sadness and relief, “The doctor also said that Ziyi is among those with autism who have normal intelligence. She actually understands a lot of things, she just doesn’t like communicating with others.”
Su Zixi looked at He Ziyi, feeling a bit heartbroken as well.
Such a beautiful girl, if she weren’t afflicted with autism, she should have had so many unrestrained adventures in life.
Suddenly, He Ziyi stood up, walked over to them, and looked at Liu Minjun with a puzzled expression.
Liu Minjun smiled and pointed at Su Zixi, saying, “This is your sister-in-law.”
He Ziyi blinked, seemingly pondering the meaning of “sister-in-law.” She lowered her head to look at the toy in her hand, then back at Su Zixi, and suddenly handed her the toy.
Su Zixi was startled.
Liu Minjun laughed, “It seems that Ziyi likes you a lot.”
Su Zixi, somewhat flattered, took the toy and gently smiled, “Thank you, Ziyi.”
He Ziyi nodded, then returned to her corner to stare at the painting, immersing herself in her own world.
Su Zixi looked at the toy in her hands, a particularly adorable little dolphin.
“Aunt, Ziyi will definitely get better,” she said earnestly.
Liu Minjun laughed, “After all these years, I’ve grown accustomed to it; as long as Ziyi is healthy, that’s fine. However, as for you…”
She said, her gaze resting on her stomach, filled with anticipation, “You should work hard! I’ve been looking forward to having a grandchild for so many years!”
Su Zixi’s face turned red, “Aunt, I…”
“No worries, no need to feel pressured,” Liu Minjun said understandingly, “I just wanted to remind you, if you’re trying to get pregnant, you shouldn’t do it too frequently, Jingyao probably doesn’t know to pace himself… You can’t spoil him too much.”
Su Zixi nodded guiltily… She really wanted to tell Mrs. He, actually, your son has always been starving…
However, about the child.
Su Zixi never thought she would face the task of pregnancy and childbirth so early, but if the child’s father was He Jingyao, then somehow… she wasn’t averse at all.@@novelbin@@
*****
At HI Group, after He Jingyao finished a board meeting and returned to his office, the phone started ringing.
He glanced at the time, precisely noon.
He raised an eyebrow and smiled, activating the speakerphone as he casually said, “Miss Ning?”
“It’s me,” Ning Ruixin’s voice filled the office, “Mr. He, the time you gave me is limited, so I’ll get straight to the point. You must already know the news that President Cheng Youlin is not planning to seek re-election.”
He Jingyao took off his suit jacket, responded indifferently with a “Hmm.”
“Our Ning Family intends to rally all resources to support a successor’s rise to power,” Ning Ruixin laughed softly, “So, I was wondering if Mr. He might be interested in collaborating.”
He Jingyao’s expression remained impassive.
Politics always requires substantial financial support, and so do elections. He Jingyao was not surprised by this at all.
What do you think?
