These past two days, Lin Xiazhu has been living on pins and needles at the Bai family home. Whenever they meet, Bai Zhengping stares at her belly all the time. Of course, he doesn't stare directly at it; if he dared to do that, Bai Ru'an would get angry.

He would intentionally or unintentionally cast his gaze on her abdomen, which gave her a headache, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only complain to Bai Ru'an in private.

“Grandpa stares at my belly every day, clearly trying to put pressure on me to get pregnant sooner. Even if we take precautions, we might not get pregnant right away. I’m really nervous about him staring at me like that.”

Bai Ru'an suppressed a laugh and gently comforted her, "Then go back to Yuan Community in a few days, just like before, and come back on weekends."

"Will Grandpa agree?" Lin Xiazhu really didn't want to live with Bai Zhengping every day; it was too stressful.

Bai Ru'an didn't take this matter too seriously. He mentioned it to Bai Zhengping and, without asking whether he agreed or not, informed him that he and Lin Xiazhu wouldn't be going back to the old house every day, but they would definitely come back on weekends.

Bai Ru'an was surprised to find that the old man would get angry and argue with her, but he didn't say anything, as if he had expected this.

Bai Zhengping smiled shrewdly. Whether he came back to stay every day was not important to him. During the day, young people had to go to work, and he often went out to play chess with old friends. He wasn't a child who needed someone to accompany him. Everyone wanted some private space.

After get off work, they might have dinner together at most. If they often work overtime, they can't even have dinner together. Even if Bai Junbo doesn't work overtime, he often eats out. He spends far less time with his father than with women. Of course, he changes girlfriends just as often as Song Yuheng.

"Actually, Grandpa is quite easy to talk to." Lin Xiazhu said to Bai Ruan in private. She used to think that he was too smooth and not very sincere. He always seemed to be smiling at everyone, but he gave people a feeling of inexplicable aloofness and superiority.

It turns out that she was only tolerant and generous towards outsiders, but towards her own family. It seems that she has truly been accepted by the Bai family.

When Lin Xiaoxue returned to her parents' home, she learned that her eldest sister did not live in the Bai family often. She felt heartbroken. Everyone else wanted to settle down in the Bai family, but her stupid eldest sister didn't care and always tried to avoid them.

I'm so disappointed in you.

Unfortunately, no matter how anxious she was, it was useless. She had no say at home and could only worry in her heart.

“Since you’re already here, don’t rush back. I’ll take a few more days off and show you around.” Lin Xiazhu decided to take a two-week honeymoon leave, during which time she would leave the factory matters to Yan Xin.

Actually, there's nothing much going on. Zhang Chaoyang and Zhou Ming have both come to work. They can handle most things at the factory, but Yan Xin needs to make decisions on some more important matters.

"Taking care of two little ones is quite troublesome. It's more comfortable to stay at home and go to the supermarket occasionally. In a few years, when the little ones are older, I can take them everywhere." Although Lin Chacha is strong and energetic, she still gets tired after being tossed around by two little ones for a long time.

"Xiaoxue, you haven't been going to school lately, looks like you've been quite free. How about helping your second sister take care of the kids for a while?" Lin Xiazhu said.

"Big sister, I'm very busy filming. I don't have time to stay at home. The show I'm currently filming needs to premiere at the beginning of next month. Time is very tight. Although I'm not going to school, I have to study on my own. I won't fail any courses, so don't worry."

Lin Chacha scoffed, "Big sister, don't let her associate with me. We're incompatible."

Lin Xiaoxue: "..." Has she become the target of the whole family's attacks again? What happened to her?

"Second sister, don't upset me. I also love my two little nephews. Just wait, I'll buy them lots of gifts later. If you have trouble carrying them, I'll send them back to you."

With the money she earned from filming before, plus the living expenses Song Yuheng gave her, she now has more than two million yuan in her account. As long as she has money, she won't be stingy. She can take out 100,000 yuan to buy a gift for her nephew without even blinking.

"Then I'll wait. Don't just talk a good game but refuse to spend money. In a few years, when the two little ones are old enough to remember, I'll definitely tell them that their third aunt is a stingy person who doesn't keep her word, and that they shouldn't play with her anymore."

Tsk, buy it right away, so I don't give her an excuse to smear me.

Lin Xiaoxue held her phone and dialed a number while saying, "I'll buy some things from the jewelry store that my eldest sister invested in first. Besides the gold bracelet, silver bracelet, and gold lock that my eldest sister bought for the baby's full moon banquet last time, what else can the little one wear? Tell me, and I'll have someone send it over right away."

She was really rich and powerful. Lin Chacha didn't stand on ceremony with her. "You can buy jade, jade bracelets or whatever, it's all fine."

"Isn't jade mostly worn by girls?" Lin Xiaoxue didn't know much about these things; she only knew that jewelry was valuable, but she didn't know much about the specifics.

However, since the jewelry store was owned by my eldest sister, I didn't have to worry about being ripped off. I simply told the store manager to send over two pieces of fine jade, with each piece valued at around 50,000 yuan.

The old woman often said that men should wear Guanyin pendants and women should wear Buddha pendants. So she asked someone to send her two jade pieces engraved with Guanyin. Lin Chacha didn't mind at all, as long as they were valuable. It was rare for her third sister to earn money herself and still have the heart to send such a generous gift. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to refuse her kindness?

"The original price was 53,000, but I'll round it down to 50,000, making it 100,000 in total. Second sister, isn't my third aunt generous enough? You can't speak ill of me in front of your nephew in the future, it's not good for your reputation." Her fame will only grow in the future, and her reputation will become even more important.

You must never give anyone something to gossip about.

"Hmm, don't worry, I definitely won't say anything bad about you, I'll even praise you. It seems you're really capable, giving away 100,000 yuan so readily, that's really generous." Lin Chacha looked at her with newfound respect.

"Otherwise, why do you think I became a star? It's because stars make money fast. I'm not that famous yet, but once I win Best Actress and become a movie queen, my salary will skyrocket. At that time, I can earn more from one movie than others earn in ten or twenty years."

"When I become successful, I'll definitely treat you all well. Just wait, on that day, I'll make sure you all live the good life of the elite."

After listening to her boast for a while, Lin Xiazhu interrupted her, "Alright, stop daydreaming. I'm doing very well now, and your second sister isn't short of money either. If we really relied on you, when would we ever get around to it?"

"...Okay, I admit you're stronger than me now, but in less than three years, I'll definitely surpass you, at least I'll surpass Second Sister. You don't need me to protect you, I'll protect Peach. Peach is still a bit player, it's hard for her to become famous because she's so honest."

Lin Taozi, who was caught in the crossfire, blinked innocently. She didn't care what her third sister said about her. Although she was just an extra, her salary was enough to support herself. In addition, her eldest sister would occasionally give her pocket money. She now had more than 100,000 yuan in savings, so she wasn't worried.

She didn't want to be like her third sister, finding a philanderer to rely on. She wanted to rely on herself, or perhaps her eldest sister and brother-in-law, so she wouldn't have to compromise herself.
