Chapter 975: Ji Yingjie is Pregnant 1

"What, do you look down on the things I give?"

Ji Yingjie glared, her aura fully unleashed; he couldn't help but shrink back, his belly full of words he couldn't speak.

"Little Aunt's things are always good, just accept them; it would be a waste not to."

"We are all one family, Little Aunt wouldn't covet the little Baobao in my sister's belly. Brother-in-law, you cannot judge a gentleman's heart with a petty person's measure. Little Aunt, am I right?"

Ji Yingjie glared at her fiercely: "You're everywhere!"

It's fine to think whatever you want in your heart, but it's not good to say it out loud.

What Shi Youxuan said made it impossible for Little Aunt to respond.

Agree to it?

Then what would she say when she wanted a child later?

But if she didn't agree, wouldn't that be admitting she really was coveting someone else's child?

"Mother, you must take care of your health when you go back. Come back and visit often when you have time. I will miss you when you go back..." Nianyin steered the topic away, and thus a potential awkwardness was resolved.

Ji Yingjie and Shi Yucheng boarded the plane, but Gu Zhihao was still worried.

He asked Shi Youxuan: "Second Sister, do you think she won't come back often? How about I take Yuke and the children back to the countryside to hide?"

Nianyin: "Don't waste your brain cells. Let alone hiding in the countryside, even if you hid at the ends of the earth, my mother could still find you."

He wore a mournful face, anxious to the extreme: "Then is there no way? Does she have to covet every one we conceive? What kind of hobby is this for this old woman..."

"Smack!"

He received a slap on the face from Nianyin: "I warn you to be polite when speaking about my mother. Do you think I'm dead?"

Gu Zhihao:...

In front of Nianyin, speaking ill of Ji Yingjie was just asking for a beating.

Zhu Qingxiang was sentenced.

He was sentenced to three years, with a three-year suspended sentence.

Although his motives were impure from the start, he had stirred up quite a few things time and again, but none had succeeded.

Although his starting point was malicious, at best it was all considered attempted!

Therefore, he was only sentenced to three years and did not need to serve time in Prison; he was allowed to live outside, but had to report back periodically.

On the day Zhu Qingxiang was released from the detention center, Nianyin, Lao Qi, and Gu Zhihao went to pick him up.

"Why is it you?"

He was very surprised.

And instinctively raised his guard, thinking Nianyin was going to do something to him.

Nianyin certainly didn't give him a good look, but she didn't make a move either.

She rolled her eyes: "What? Are you not satisfied that we came to pick you up? Were you hoping my sister would come to pick you up in person? You aren't qualified, don't overthink it."

Zhu Qingxiang:...

He wasn't overthinking it, okay?

His residence had already been arranged.

It was not far from the Shi Family, in the same residential complex.

Nianyin and Lao Qi also moved to this complex to live, the three residences forming a tripod-like situation.

It was convenient for surveillance.

She threatened Zhu Qingxiang: "You are only allowed to live here, you are not permitted to change places. I feel at ease watching you under my nose."

They all went to the Shi Family for meals; Gu Zhihao cooked well, and Shi Yuke didn't have enough energy now, so Zhu Qingxiang played with the children. Nianyin and Lao Qi started out under the guise of guarding him, but after spending time together, they actually felt it wasn't bad.

Zhu Qingxiang wasn't bad by nature, and he understood quite a lot.

Moreover, he was smart and eager to learn; setting aside his identity, everyone actually liked him quite a bit.

Three months later.

Father called from the Ji Family, feeling very embarrassed, stammering: "Xuanxuan, there is something I want to tell you."

"What is it? Please tell me."

"Oh, it's not easy to say, I don't even know how to say it properly, I'm at such an old age... forget it!"

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the other end.

Shi Youxuan was full of confusion.

Judging by the tone, it didn't sound like a bad thing.

But would a good thing require being so troubled?

She hated it most when people said half of something and didn't finish, keeping her in suspense was the most annoying.

So she dialed back, but this time no one answered.

She didn't need to think to know that Father was hesitating.

He was like this when he was conflicted, hiding like an ostrich, thinking others wouldn't be able to find him.

If she couldn't find him, couldn't she find Little Aunt?

Shi Youxuan dialed Little Aunt's number, Ji Yingjie answered, speaking in a soft, delicate voice: "Xuanxuan, is there something? Have you been doing well lately? You must keep your mood happy."

Shi Youxuan:...

She had goosebumps all over, shocked and not daring to make a sound for a long time.

Little Aunt continued: "If you hadn't called me these past two days, I was thinking of calling you too. There is something... there is something I don't know how to tell you, don't laugh at me..."

She really could not stand it anymore; speaking like this was not as satisfying as just beating her up, it was simply too torturous.

"Are you going to say it or not? If you're going to say it, hurry up; if not, I'm hanging up."

Ji Yingjie: "I'm pregnant."

Shi Youxuan:...

"Xuanxuan, are you there? Why aren't you answering me?"

"Auntie, could you say that again? Who did you just say is pregnant?"

Ji Yingjie: "Me, I'm pregnant. At first, I couldn't believe it either, but later I asked several doctors to check, and they all said I was pregnant. The traditional Chinese medicine doctor said not to tell anyone within the first three months of pregnancy, so that's why I'm only telling you now."

"You... won't laugh at me, will you?"

Shi Youxuan: "No, of course not. Pregnancy is a good thing; this is a massive piece of happy news. Do Nianyin and the others know?"

"No, I figured you were more level-headed, so I told you first."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Youxuan immediately dialed Nianyin's number: "Nianyin, come to my house right away. I have some massive happy news to tell you."

Nianyin: "What massive happy news? If you were to tell me now that my mother has a successor, that would be massive happy news." There had been no news from her mother for a while; to her, this was not a good thing, but rather like a sword hanging over her head, as if it could fall at any moment.

She had been having nightmares lately.

In her dreams, her mother would descend from the sky to grab her and force her to return to the Ji Family to handle official business.

The Ji Family was the place where Nianyin grew up; it was her home, so how could she not miss it?

But she dared not go back, for fear that once she returned, she would never be able to leave again.

"Nianyin, do you have a psychic superpower? Or can you divine the future? That's right, you're correct, it's that Auntie is pregnant."

Nianyin:...

Her expression right now was exactly the same as Shi Youxuan's expression when she first heard that Ji Yingjie was pregnant.

Shocked, unable to believe it.

"Big sister, stop teasing me. This joke isn't funny at all."

"Do I look like I have nothing better to do than joke with you about something like this? It's true, hurry over here. Come over so we can discuss who to send to offer our regards; it's not realistic for all of us to leave..."

"It's true!"

Only then did Nianyin believe it.

Sheng Family.

The living room was full of people, and everyone's faces were beaming with joy.

Wan'er had also come over, and everyone was discussing who would act as the representative to go to the Ji Family.

Nianyin: "I'll go. I want to scour the whole world for every kind of supplement to send to my mother. My mother deserves the best."

Wan'er: "I'll go too. The children are already in kindergarten and haven't been to the Ji Family yet. This time, I'll take them with me so they can see the world."

Ji Yingjie had said more than once that she wanted Wan'er to take the triplets to visit the Ji Family.

But she had not dared to, fearing that if she took them there, she wouldn't be able to bring them back.

In a few months, Auntie would have her own child, so this concern would naturally no longer exist; it would just be like a normal visit to relatives.

Everyone's enthusiasm for going to the Ji Family reached an unprecedented high.
