Chapter 636 She's Very Well-Behaved (Sixty-Five)

Shang Shang immediately looked at Shen Fanxing with a gossipy expression: "Why? Why?"

Shen Fanxing laughed and exclaimed, "Why are you so gossipy? I just feel they don't deserve to be my parents. They just abandoned me."

Shang Shang chuckled and leaned closer, asking, "Why? Did they hurt you? Weren't you an orphan when you were very young?"

Shen Fanxing nodded: "Yes, when I realized they were not fit to be my parents, I went to the orphanage by myself."

Shang Shang: "..."

Shen Fanxing is indeed no ordinary person. How can a one- or two-year-old child know whether someone is worthy of being a parent?

Not to mention walking to the orphanage by oneself, that's simply a pipe dream.

Shen Fanxing got up: "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Shang Shang held onto her tightly, saying, "You stay here and sleep with me."

Shen Fanxing struggled with her for a while, then finally sighed, "I can't outmaneuver you. Alright, alright, let's sleep together."

Shang Shang was finally satisfied and reached out to hug Shen Fanxing: "Zhou Zhiyun is so lucky to have met someone as amazing as you."

Shen Fanxing blinked: "I'm very happy too, to have met such a wonderful Zhou Zhiyun."

...

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Old Master Pei wanted Pei Yanli to go back home for the New Year.

Especially knowing that Pei Yanli's current girlfriend is Zhou Zhiyi, Shang Xingzhou's niece.

She was even more reluctant to let go of Pei Yanli.

But Pei Yanli didn't buy into his act at all and decisively refused.

After hanging up the phone, Old Master Pei did not call again. He recalled what Shang Xingzhou had said to him before: if anyone dared to disturb Pei Yanli and Shang Shang's lives, he would not hesitate to make the Pei family disappear from Beijing completely.

He never dared to challenge Shang Xingzhou before, and he dares even less now.

Looking at Pei Che, who was standing to the side with an expectant face, she felt a little disappointed in him: "You said you knew all along that your uncle's girlfriend was Zhou Zhiyi, why didn't you say so?"

Therefore, Zhou Zhiyi's accompaniment to the fortune teller was actually a way to swindle half of the Pei family's fortune.

The fact that his two sons gambled and incurred high-interest debts was likely due to Shang Xingzhou's manipulation. He acquired the company at the lowest possible price, and it has now been diluted into several separate companies.

Old Master Pei slumped into his chair, thinking, "So what if I know?"

He could cause trouble for Pei Yanli, and Shang Xingzhou could make them disappear quietly.

Pei Che also looked innocent: "You didn't ask. If you had asked, I definitely would have told you. Grandpa, what will we do now?"

Grandpa Pei frowned: "From now on, you can live in the courtyard in Miyun. You're all grown up now, you can find a job to support yourself."

He is too old and has no experience in making a comeback.

The remaining few are all insignificant and best left unmentioned!

He stood up, leaning on his cane, and walked outside. From today onward, this villa belonged to someone else.

...

Early on New Year's Eve, Shang Shang called Pei Yanli to come to her house for the New Year.

Shen Fanxing is a generous boss. On the day Chen Shuo got married, she gave the company a year-end holiday, and these past two days she has been lazily staying at home.

Watching TV, playing video games, and occasionally accompanying Jiang Zhizhi to buy New Year's goods.

Seeing that Shang Shang had called Pei Yanli gently early in the morning, smiling at her while munching on an apple.

Shang Shang hung up the phone and, embarrassed and annoyed, patted her: "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Fanxing clicked her tongue: "Look at you young people dating. Our Shangshang is so gentle, which man could resist her?"

Shang Shang snorted: "I'm ignoring you."

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Shen Fanxing fiercely and said, "When Pei Yanli comes later, you can't joke around with him."

Shen Fanxing quickly saluted: "Yes, ma'am. Don't worry, I definitely won't tease Pei Yanli. At most, I'll ask when he's going to marry our little princess."

Shang Shang stared wide-eyed, then couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Jiang Zhizhi still values ​​the New Year celebrations. She eats casually at home for lunch, and in the evening, the whole family gathers together at the Shangxingzhou Clubhouse to have dinner and welcome the New Year.

The event will not end until the New Year's bells ring.

Pei Yanli heard Shang Shang explain the Zhou family's New Year celebrations, so he rushed over in the morning, bringing a trunk full of New Year's goods.

Jiang Zhizhi watched as Pei Yanli, dressed impeccably, carried box after box of New Year's goods and tried to stop him. "You can't do this in the future. Just buy some random things. We have everything we need at home."

Pei Yanli wouldn't dare buy just anything; these gifts were all carefully selected by him.

The teacup given to Zhou Xiye was bought at an auction; it was a masterpiece, exquisitely crafted.

A set of jewelry was prepared for Jiang Zhizhi, which was quite expensive and included jade that suited her temperament.

The most items were prepared for the merchants, including bags, jewelry, and clothes.

Watching from the side, Shen Fanxing couldn't help but marvel at Pei Yanli's thoughtfulness. He had carefully chosen gifts for everyone, and although they looked understated, they were quite valuable.

Just as she was pondering, Pei Yanli took out a sandalwood eight-treasure compass and handed it to Shen Fanxing: "Happy New Year, this is for you, I don't know if you like it."

Shen Fanxing exclaimed, took the exquisitely carved Eight Treasures Compass, touched the patterns on it, looked at it repeatedly, and stared at Pei Yanli in shock: "You... this must have taken a lot of effort to make, right?"

Pei Yanli modestly shook his head: "No, I happen to have a friend abroad who asked me to keep an eye on the auction house. As soon as this appears, I'll buy it back."

“This originally came from our ancestors. We were thinking of buying it to keep as a collection, but after getting it, we found that this is more suitable for you.”

Shen Fanxing chuckled, "Thank you, thank you, I really like this gift. I wish you and Shangshang a long and happy marriage."

Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time as Shen Fanxing's unrestrained words.

He also casually mentioned, "You two should take a look and discuss a suitable time to get engaged first, and then get married."

Zhou Xiye didn't say anything. He wasn't in a hurry at all. He wished Shang Shang could stay at home for another two years.

That way, he can still cook for his daughter when he gets home every day.

However, she has been well-educated by Jiang Zhizhi and no longer reveals her true thoughts.

Pei Yanli paused for a moment, then smiled at Jiang Zhizhi: "Auntie, I'd like to hold the wedding in October. I'm quite busy in the spring."

Jiang Zhizhi had no objection: "Anytime is fine, as long as you two have discussed it and decided on it yourselves. As for the new house, you provide the house, and we'll handle the decoration. I've seen Shang Shang's design drawings before, and I think there are still some unreasonable parts."

"If you two are comfortable with this, leave the renovation to me and I'll take care of it."

Shangshangba couldn't help but worry, nodding repeatedly: "Great, great, Mom's aesthetic sense is ahead of ours."

Pei Yanli couldn't refuse: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and waved her hand: "Alright, it's settled then..."

As they were talking, Shen Fanxing suddenly felt nauseous and ran to the toilet.

After vomiting for a while, feeling like I was about to throw up my bile, I finally sat on the toilet to catch my breath. Suddenly, something flashed through my mind.

Before she returned, Zhou Zhiyun dragged her into doing many shameless things.

It seems like she didn't take any precautions several times? Or did she just forget?

He reached out and did some calculations, then slapped his forehead.

We were really careless and ended up with a child.

Shen Fanxing has always believed in letting things take their course when it's time to have a child; when the time is right, the child will naturally come.

I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

I lingered in the bathroom for quite a while before finally getting up and leaving.

As soon as the door was opened, Jiang Zhizhi and Shang Shang were seen standing at the door with smiles on their faces.

Shang Shang exclaimed, "Am I going to be an aunt?"

Shen Fanxing chuckled and nodded generously: "Yes, you should prepare red envelopes, and they should be thick."

Shang Shang exclaimed and hugged Chen Fanxing, "You're so amazing! You made me your aunt so early. I'll buy you anything you want!"

Jiang Zhizhi gently reminded her from the side, "Be gentle."

Shang Shang quickly smiled and took Shen Fanxing's arm: "Yes, yes, you are our family's darling now. I need to be gentle so as not to scare the baby."

Because of Shen Fanxing's pregnancy, everyone's attention immediately shifted from Shang Shang and Pei Yanli to Shen Fanxing.

Zhou Xiye had prepared a lot for lunch, but worried that Shen Fanxing wouldn't be able to eat it all, so he asked Jiang Zhizhi to check on Shen Fanxing to make sure there was nothing she couldn't eat.

Finally, some light and nutritious dishes were added again.

Seeing how much Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi were taking it, Shen Fanxing was both amused and exasperated: "Mom and Dad, you don't need to worry so much. The child will be fine. And you don't need to be so particular. Anything is fine to eat."

Zhou Xiye disagreed: "No, your mother is a doctor, you can't go wrong by listening to her."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly. She could do the same for other pregnant women: keep a calm mindset, live your life as usual, and pay attention to a balanced diet.

When it came to Shen Fanxing, she felt she needed to be extra cautious.

They've become hypocritical.

During dinner, the family learned that Shen Fanxing was pregnant. The elders were overjoyed, thinking how happy they would be to hold their great-grandchild in their lifetime.

They kept reminding Chen Fanxing to be careful, to pay attention, and to keep a good mood.

Just tell them what you need, but don't get too tired.

Everyone was talking about Shen Fanxing and their child, and what they would call them.

Shang Shang and Pei Yanli wanted some peace and quiet. While everyone was chatting enthusiastically around Shen Fanxing, Shang Shang secretly gave Pei Yanli a wink, and the two of them slipped away.

Shang Shang was also overjoyed: "I never thought I would become an aunt! I have to share this good news with Nini and Mengmeng."

I haven't been in contact with the two of them since Wang Jianni got married.

While making the call, Shang Shang muttered, "Something's not right. Nini is on her honeymoon with Chen Shuo because of her wedding, so she doesn't have time to talk to me. But what about Mengmeng?"

"Mengmeng used to come to my house on the morning of New Year's Eve, why didn't she come this year?"

She was busy with Pei Yanli's visit today and forgot about this.

Wang Jianni didn't answer the phone. Pei Yanli reminded her that Chen Shuo and Wang Jianni had flown abroad yesterday and were probably busy having fun and didn't have time to answer the phone.

Shang Shang thought it made sense, so she called Du Mengmeng again.

After a long while, the phone rang, and it was Yan Lei who answered.

Shang Shang was so shocked she almost dropped the phone: "Where's Mengmeng? Are you two together tonight?"
