Chapter 851: Stealing the Dragon and Replacing the Phoenix 1

"Mother, are you not happy?" Nianyin asked cautiously.

The doctor called to say it was a girl, and she was so excited she nearly jumped up!

A girl!

Such a joyous thing, and while Mother appeared to have a smile on her face, it was perfunctory; she was not happy from the bottom of her heart.

Ji Yingjie denied it: "Of course I'm happy, it's just that the check-up today happened to be with Shi Yuke, it was too unlucky."

She spouted nonsense, and Nianyin did not suspect anything.

In any case, she was quite happy; the Ji Family favored girls over boys, and especially since she was the future Successor, she felt relieved to learn she was carrying a girl.

The next day, Ji Yingjie suddenly announced—she was taking Nianyin back to the Ji Family to gestate and give birth!

Lao Qi objected: "No, although the fetus is stable at four months now, the journey is long; there is no need to go that far."

Ji Yingjie: "Did I consult you? I am just informing you; I don't need your consent."

Lao Qi argued on grounds of reason: "Nianyin is my wife, I have a responsibility to be responsible for my wife."

"Hmph!"

"Your master is here!"

Ji Yingjie pointed toward the door.

Lao Qi looked back subconsciously; he didn't see anyone at the door, but he took a heavy blow to the back of his neck. Before losing consciousness, he saw Ji Yingjie looking triumphant!

"Mother, what are you doing?" Seeing her husband knocked unconscious, Nianyin subconsciously wanted to go over.

Ji Yingjie stopped her: "Don't worry about him, we are leaving immediately."

"Mother, isn't it too rushed? Let me wait for him to wake up and talk to him; he will understand." Nianyin could not bear to leave her husband alone at home and did not want to go.

"You useless thing, have you never seen a man before?"

Ji Yingjie was furious and flew into a great rage.

After venting her anger, she realized she was right; Nianyin had indeed seen too few men.

The first was Feiying, who nearly cost her half her life, and the second was Lao Qi.

No, after she gives birth, she must help her find a few more men, so she doesn't take a man so seriously when there's only one around!

Nianyin was unwilling, but she dared not defy her mother's orders, so she could only follow.

After Lao Qi woke up, he found himself lying on the bed covered by a quilt, but his wife was gone.

He called, but she didn't answer; it was turned off.

He went to ask the Chairman for leave, intending to follow her to the Ji Family to take care of his wife.

Even if Ji Yingjie wouldn't let him go, he had to go.

Sheng Hanyu agreed.

"Aunt is too overbearing, she does whatever comes to mind," Shi Youxuan complained, but she couldn't control her.

No one could control her; Ji Yingjie had been unreasonable and tyrannical her whole life.

Shi Family.

Gu Zhihao had not been idle these past few days; besides cooking three meals a day for the family, he also brought a lot of wood into the courtyard, preparing to build a small bed for the baby by hand.

Shi Yucheng looked at the pile of wood in the courtyard, puzzled: "There are many small beds sold in the Baobao mall, you don't need to build one yourself; they have all kinds of materials and styles."

He smiled honestly: "No matter how well they sell, they aren't as heartfelt as the small bed I build myself. I'll make it sturdy so that after this baby is done using it, the next baby can use it too."

"That's good, it's just too hard on you."

Shi Yucheng was increasingly satisfied with his son-in-law.

This was someone who knew how to live; thrifty and capable of everything.

The small bed was finished; although it wasn't as finely crafted as a store-bought one, it was indeed very sturdy, using only mortise and tenon joints without a single iron nail.

Jian Yixin was overjoyed to learn that Shi Yuke was carrying a boy.

She sent all kinds of gifts, enough to fill a pickup truck!

Everything one could imagine was there; there was nothing she hadn't sent.

"Look at you wasting money again; we don't lack anything. You have money to spend on your own son, no need to worry about us..." Shi Yucheng nagged.

She listened and smiled, brushing it off: "Yes, yes, I know. This is the last time; next time I'll come empty-handed and bring nothing."

She said that every time, but she would still do the same the next time she came.

"Yixin, come with me for a moment."

Shi Yucheng called his goddaughter into the Study, took a kraft paper envelope out of the drawer, and handed it to her: "This is yours, keep it."

"What is it?"

She opened the envelope, and a thin check fell out from inside.

It had both a round sum and odd amounts.

It was all the money she had anonymously deposited into her godfather's account.

"What are you doing? Why are you giving me money for no reason? Did you strike it rich?" She pretended not to know anything and joked.

"Stop pretending, I've already looked into it. This money was all deposited into my account by you. I've accepted the gifts, but you must take the money back, otherwise, you're slapping this old face of Shi Yucheng."

The round sum on the check—thirty million.

The odd amounts were the one hundred thousand deposited every month!

This money was the "compensation" she had promised to give Shi Yuke back then; later, Shi Yuke fell down the stairs and became foolish, so this money naturally came to nothing.

If she had handed it directly to Shi Yucheng, he would definitely have refused.

So she used an anonymous method to deposit it to him, yet it was still discovered.

"Godfather, this is what I owe Yuke. Please keep it for her; this will be Yuke's capital for her livelihood in the future."

"No, you don't owe her anything; if anyone is in debt, it's Yuke who owes you. You must take this money back, otherwise, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace."

Shi Yucheng knew Jian Yixin's inner conflict and said directly, "Yixin, rest assured, Moli is your child; she will always be your and Ze Rong's child. This fact will never change."

"Only a few of us know about this matter; as long as we don't speak of it, the child will never know."

"Godfather, you know that's not what I meant..."

Shi Yucheng's gaze was firm as he waved his hand, "I don't care what you mean; in any case, you must take this money back. If you don't take it back, then send the child back, and I will raise her myself."

Shi Yucheng was usually easygoing, but that was only usually; if he was serious about doing something, no one could change it in the slightest.

In the end, Jian Yixin could only take the money back.

Just after she left the Shi Family, Shi Youxuan also arrived.

The twins at home had just turned one month old, so she couldn't stay away for too long; she only sat at home for a while before leaving, also bringing many items needed for infants, nutritional supplements for pregnant women, and money.

"I'm not short on money, I have enough to spend; if I run out, I'll ask you for some."

He accepted the money his second daughter gave him, but only enough to get by; he didn't want any extra.

"Please just accept it; there will be many places to use money in the future, you can save it for your grandchildren."

"I won't give it to them; children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. What you give me out of filial piety, I will spend myself; the money the grandchildren spend should be earned by their father."

Gu Zhihao smiled honestly, "Dad is right, you take the money back, I can support the whole family."

Relying only on collecting scrap was a bit difficult, but Shi Youxuan didn't dampen her brother-in-law's enthusiasm; instead, she encouraged him and left the money behind.

All the baby supplies sent by everyone and those prepared by themselves were prepared in styles for boys; no one would suspect that the child in Yuke's belly was actually a girl.

Five and a half months later.

The hospital.

A group of doctors and nurses carried a stretcher, rushing toward the elevator.

"Quick, everyone go to the rooftop."

"Hurry up, it's an emergency."

The hospital was in a state of chaos; they had just received an urgent message that a pregnant woman on the rooftop was about to give birth!

The pregnant woman had been flown in directly from abroad by helicopter.
