The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Confirmation

Li Yiqiu, holding the pregnancy test bought by the servant, was the first to enter the restroom.

The people in the living room, whether it showed on their faces or not, were all tense at that moment.

Although Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin were smiling, anxiety was apparent in the depths of their eyes. Clearly, they did not wish for the second branch of the Zhong Family to have more children.

Their greatest advantage now was being the only ones in the third generation with a male heir. If Zhong Jinghao’s advantage were lost, it would be very unfavorable for them.@@novelbin@@

In contrast, the members of the second branch were visibly tense, despite their efforts to control themselves. Although Zhong Mingyu did not speak, his tightly pursed lips and clenched hands spoke volumes about his nervousness at the moment.

As for Zhong Mengxuan, she was also too preoccupied to target Nianyao right now. Her entire focus was on her mother, and naturally, she was hoping that her mother was truly pregnant. She was no longer a child who would get jealous over something like this. In fact, she even hoped that the second branch would have another son, as it would be greatly beneficial for her future.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were also concerned about this matter, but their attitude was very calm. Naturally, they would be happy if there was another child in the family, but they would not be too disappointed if there wasn’t one.

If anyone was the most composed here, it was Nianyao. She nonchalantly played with her phone, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

In fact, whether Li Yiqiu was truly pregnant didn’t make much difference to her. It had just come out today, so she had casually mentioned it.

The ten minutes felt short, but for those anxiously waiting, it seemed very long.

Li Yiqiu, holding the pregnancy test, slowly walked out. Her face bore no extra expression, and she seemed somewhat out of it.

“What’s the result?” asked Zhong Mingyu, getting up with some trepidation.

“I think I really am pregnant,” Li Yiqiu felt as if she were in a dazed state, “It’s two lines.”

When she saw the result, she was in a bewildered state, completely different from her usual sharp self. At that moment, she was still submerged in a foggy, dream-like feeling, as if everything happening was just a dream.

“Really?” Zhong Mingyu’s eyes widened, followed by excitement, “I’m going to be a father again.”

As he spoke, he quickly helped Li Yiqiu to sit down, taking great care of her, “Quick, you’re pregnant now, sit down. We need to be careful with everything from now on.”

Zhong Mengxuan also wore a full smile on her face.

Clearly, Li Yiqiu’s pregnancy was indeed great news for the second branch.

“Very good, very good,” Old Sir Zhong, his face glowing, kept repeating ‘good,’ then turned his head to look at Nianyao and started praising, “Yaoyao, you really are a little lucky star! Never expected your Second Aunt to really be pregnant, you truly have a golden tongue!”

“Our Yaoyao has always been lucky,” Old Madam Zhong, holding Nianyao’s hand, also smiled, “This also shows that Yaoyao and this child are fated! Otherwise, why did nobody else notice that the second daughter-in-law was pregnant, and only Yaoyao did?”

Normally, seeing Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong praise Nianyao like this would surely upset Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu. But today was different, when they looked at Nianyao now, there was no trace of the usual disdain or dislike, only joy.

Nianyao shrugged her shoulders, not taking the credit for herself, “The Second Aunt was already pregnant, it has nothing to do with me. I was just telling the truth.”

While talking, she glanced casually at Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin, her smile turning profoundly meaningful.

In the Zhong household, whether it was the main branch or the second branch, everyone was covetous of the legacy left by her father. Although she was not worried now, always being on guard could be irritating.

Now that Li Yiqiu was pregnant, whether it was the main branch or the second branch, they should all quiet down for a while.

There would be no more talking about the second branch; with Li Yiqiu expecting, they would surely plan properly, at least until she had safely given birth, no time or energy left to stir up any trouble.

And naturally, the main branch, having lost its biggest advantage, would definitely look for other ways to compensate.

This way, things had eased up quite a bit for her.

After Li Yiqiu used the pregnancy test, the family doctor of the Zhong Family also arrived soon, took her pulse, and confirmed Li Yiqiu’s pregnancy again.

Because of Li Yiqiu’s pregnancy, the Zhong household was filled with an atmosphere of joy. Of course, beneath that joy, there were still some underlying tensions.
