Chapter 794
Finally, it's New Year.
The Lin family's Sihe Courtyard has never been this lively before.
The main hall of the courtyard was packed with people.
A fragrant aroma assailed the nostrils.
It wasn't a vulgar smell.
Lin Dongxiang and Liang Shiyun sat in the seats of honor, while Lin Feng's women stepped forward, each offering New Year greetings.
Afterwards, each person also received a symbolic large red envelope.
Next, the children stepped forward to pay New Year respects, asking the elders for red envelopes.
Seeing the eleven children, Lin Dongxiang and Liang Shiyun grinned from ear to ear.
The Lin family has finally branched out; they are... no, they have already grown into a towering tree!
These eleven before us are not the final number.
There are many more to come.
Just now the two-child policy was opened; the mothers of the children, with a little effort, could still have a few more.
Moreover, there are still many who haven't given birth yet!
If each person gets one, the family would have thirty or forty!
If it averages two or three each, it could exceed a hundred!
The delighted elderly couple had their usual attendant bring over a huge box.
Each child was given a big red envelope.
Wow!
After Song Jiaren offered her New Year greetings, she received a red envelope, opened it, and couldn't help exclaiming in surprise.
This red envelope is big enough!
It wasn't cash, but a Gold Ticket just issued by NB Bank.
A thick stack of it could be exchanged for banknotes worth over one million dollars.
Grandfather indeed kept his word, giving a big red envelope!
Next came Lin Chang'e, Bei Shuying, Bei Qingqian, Lin Baobao, Lin Qiuxia, Lin Jingru, Lin Shiyi, Lin Donghu, Lin Qingyue, Lin Qingxia, each stepping forward to receive red envelopes.
The red envelopes the children received were all the same.
At this moment, we must not show favoritism, otherwise the child who gets less will be unhappy, and the child's mother won't be happy either.
The red envelopes to come also include those for the concubines.
Grandfather and grandmother each produced a Gold Ticket worth one million dollars, so the concubines cannot be stingy either.
However, this will have to wait until after lunch.
Just handing out the red envelopes took half the afternoon; after that, they sat down to chat, eat snacks, and crack melon seeds...
The women gathered according to their usual circles to talk.
Lin Feng kept his parents company while chatting.
"Little Feng, the youngest one is already one year old; why haven't you caught up yet?"
Lady Wang, sitting nearby, joked.
The youngest is Lin Qingxia, daughter of Guo Yanqiu.
She just turned one, and of course she doesn't look like a one-year-old at all.
A full year has passed, and there hasn't been a new child.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "No rush, there's still plenty of time ahead!"
Liang Shiyun said, "What are you waiting for! Only eleven, that's too few; from now on, I and your dad want to hold new grandchildren every year."
"Uh!"
Lin Feng was taken aback.
This is a bit difficult.
Whether to have children or not isn't something one can decide alone.
Lin Feng helplessly glanced at the women.
Then he looked at Zhao Xiaoyang, who was chatting and laughing with Yu Yanni.
Taking another look... where is Liu Erwa?
At the same moment.
Feng Xuelan was reporting her work situation to several bigwigs.
All in all, there were five bigwigs living in comfort; some looked at Feng Xuelan with displeasure.
Some had solemn faces.
Some furrowed their brows, looking thoughtful.
Because of Feng Xuelan's report, summed up in two words—nonsense!
"You kid, when did you also learn to speak in official jargon, putting on airs in front of us?"
A middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said.
Feng Xuelan was about to 'defend,' when another bigwig with a displeased face said: "The tricks you're playing are just the leftovers from what we've played."
We spent a huge cost to cultivate you.
Now is the time for you to realize your own worth; if this mission cannot be completed perfectly, you know the consequences!
Another bigwig said: "Since ancient times, it's been victors and vanquished; this mission is not only related to our interests, but also key to realizing our ideals."
Success, we'll go down in history; if we fail, I don't need to say more, right?
……
Feng Xuelan muttered inwardly, still saying she was talking nonsense.
It's really these people spouting nonsense that truly makes one feel uneasy.
The main thing is, they all put on an aloof, superior air.
Before, I didn't notice, but suddenly Feng Xuelan felt utterly wretched.
Sure enough, as Lin Feng said, I'm merely a pawn.
But this pawn of mine does have a certain degree of autonomy.
At last, the meeting has ended.
The big shots left one after another, still sneaking out the back door, acting furtively.
Feng Xuelan's residence is located in the Yanjing Effect Zone.
During the New Year, some people nearby set off firecrackers, sporadically.
Although it's prohibited, the atmosphere is much better than in the city center.
At least it feels like there's a New Year atmosphere.
Feng Xuelan looked outside and took a deep breath.
Then she went down to the basement.
In the basement level below her residential building, Feng Xuelan has a training room.
She also set up a highly intelligent Medical Room.
With the most advanced equipment and a high degree of intelligence, it can monitor one's physical condition at any time.
Early this morning, Feng Xuelan felt unwell.
She felt dizzy and somewhat weak.
Most importantly, her mood was somewhat restless.
Before, when facing those big shots, no matter how harsh they spoke, I felt it was because I wasn't good enough.
From now on, I must strive to gain their approval.
But today is different.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred after the Enhancement.
Feng Xuelan, who had studied psychology, understood that this was a change in her subconscious.
The subconscious, not controlled by the conscious mind, is the true self.
There must be something wrong with the body.
Yesterday, I talked with Lin Feng for a long time about principles; could it be that something went wrong with this matter?
Feng Xuelan decided to get a checkup.
After the Enhancement, she became more concerned about her physical condition.
Because she needed to undergo high-intensity training.
The advanced medical equipment in the basement was prepared precisely for this purpose.
When changing clothes, Feng Xuelan opened the drawer.
At first glance, she saw her ex-boyfriend.
This guy is too soft-hearted, and even weaker than Lin Feng.
After witnessing Lin Feng's strength, Feng Xuelan didn't think twice and tossed him straight into the nearby trash bin.
Then she turned on the medical equipment.
Half an hour later, Feng Xuelan looked at the test results in disbelief.
Only a few dozen hours have passed, and I… I'm actually pregnant!
What Feng Xuelan didn't know was that she didn't have the special cold medicine made by Qi Yao.
So she caught a cold right away.
Because they are all Enhancers, the tiny life in her womb grows at an astonishing speed!
It's growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Feng Xuelan was stunned.
Then she was at a loss.
Then came a wave of anxiety over gains and losses.
Can't we keep this child?
No way!
No matter what, it's my own child; how could I abandon him/her?
But if I keep it, those big shots won't let me off the hook.
While Feng Xuelan was worrying.
Bang~
A few kilometers away from Feng Xuelan, on the street, a loud bang rang out.
A large truck slammed into a fuel-efficient sedan made by some flimsy little thing, flattening it.
The big shot sitting in the car was equivalent to half an Enhancer.
Too bad, his head was smashed flat.
The smoking truck came to a stop, and Liu Erwa jumped out in panic, crouched on the ground, covered his face, and shouted: "What are we to do?"
