Her exceptionally bea...
Chapter 363 Xie Qinglan, I'll kill you!
Guessing that the young couple might not have had dinner, Ji Xueru and Yu Ran packed up some food and even had a soup specially prepared for Huo Huaisui by a chef.
As if they had discussed it beforehand, the two women took turns explaining some precautions to Huo Huaisui during early pregnancy and reminded her to attend her prenatal checkups on time.
Huo Huai Sui was completely bewildered; his mind had long since drifted off into space.
Yu Ran frowned. "Huo Huai Sui."
Huo Huaisui: "Huh?"
Ji Xueru patted Yu Ran's shoulder reassuringly, then turned to continue giving instructions to her son.
Her son has a good memory; he can remember things after hearing them only once. It doesn't matter if her future daughter-in-law can't remember, as long as her son can.
After giving her instructions, Ji Xueru asked, "Neither of you can cook. Are you planning to go back and live with us, or continue living here? I'll find you a housekeeper."
Xie Qinglan refused, saying, "No need, let's leave it at that."
He could learn to cook, but he had to work and couldn't be with her all the time. Besides, his girlfriend was unreliable, always running around and never home. So no matter how good his cooking was, it wouldn't matter. Hiring a nanny would be even less effective. It was better to just leave things as they were.
Ji Xueru knew that young people nowadays prefer to have their own space and their own ideas, and don't like their elders interfering in their lives, so she didn't force them.
Yu Ran, who had been silent, suddenly looked at Ji Xueru, who nodded slightly.
Yu Ran stood up. "Sui Sui, come with me. I have something to tell you."
"Oh." Huo Huai Sui followed Yu Ran into the master bedroom.
Once the door is closed, two separate worlds are created.
Only the mother and son remained in the living room.
Ji Xueru glanced towards the master bedroom, took out two small notebooks from her bag and stuffed them into her son's hands, whispering, "Your mother-in-law and I have discussed it. The engagement banquet invitations have already been sent out and can't be changed. Now that Sui Sui is pregnant, our idea is that after the engagement banquet, you two should get your marriage certificate first, and then we will continue to plan your wedding."
Xie Qingxi looked at the two household registration books in her hand and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Ji Xueru: "It was indeed quite tough."
When Ji Xueru learned that her future daughter-in-law was pregnant, she was indeed pleasantly surprised, but she was also more shocked and worried.
She was terrified, worried that her future mother-in-law would be angry, that she would be dissatisfied with her son, and that her son would disrespect his elders.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law was easy to talk to; otherwise, she would have dragged her husband to the Huo family to apologize.
Ji Xueru continued, "We parents all owe our children something. My daughter-in-law doesn't owe you anything. Treat her well and stop being so irresponsible."
Ji Xueru naturally knew about the outrageous things her son did when he was in school, but seeing that he didn't really do anything serious, didn't mess around with those girls, and didn't cause any trouble, she turned a blind eye. She just hoped he wouldn't do that again.
Xie Qinglan: "I know."
Ji Xueru was still worried and warned in a low voice: "In the entire Xie family, no one has ever gotten divorced in the last one or two hundred years. Don't be the first. If your grandparents beat you or kick you out of the house, your father and I will not only not help you, but we will also hand your grandparents sticks."
The Xie family's current reputation is the result of generations of self-discipline and unwavering commitment to their principles.
The Xie family has strict family traditions and has never had a divorce, so no one is willing to compromise.
For example, Xie Chaoyin and Xie Chaowan. They would rather remain single for life than settle for someone else, to avoid the potential for divorce.
Xie Qinglan was both amused and exasperated. "Mom, what are you thinking? I don't know how."
I chose this wife myself, and I'll stay with her for life, even if I have to kneel down.
"Oh, right," Ji Xueru suddenly remembered something, "Are you buying a separate house for your wedding, or will you continue living here?"
Xie Qinglan: "I'll ask her."
Originally, he wanted to buy an apartment in Huo Huaisui's building to take advantage of the proximity, but he didn't expect his girlfriend to be so easy to get into, so he didn't bother with all that effort.
"That's right." Ji Xueru was satisfied with her son's answer. "No matter what happens in the future, the two of you should discuss things together. That's how you can make it last."
Inside the room, Yu Ran was also talking to her daughter.
"After all these years of fooling around, I've finally done something right."
Huo Huai Sui retorted, "When have I ever done anything wrong?"
Yu Ran: "While it's not wrong, it's not accurate either."
Her daughter's kindness is not wrong, but blind kindness is not the right thing to do.
Yu Ran: "You and he should live a good life together."
Huo Huai Sui lowered his head and said "Oh".
“Don’t be willful. If you’ve been wronged, don’t keep it to yourself. Talk to Qinglan directly. If you can’t reach an agreement, then go to your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law is reasonable and won’t mistreat you,” Yu Ran said. “The Huo family will always be your home. Come back if you’re ever unhappy.”
Huo Huai Sui pouted, "I know."
Yu Ran is not a sentimental person. During the years she spent abroad with her daughter, she was almost always buried in the research institute and did neglect her daughter. Now that her daughter has grown up, passed the most clingy age, and is about to become a wife and mother, she doesn't know what to say.
Huo Huaisui: "By the way, Mom, how did you and Aunt Ji find out I was pregnant?"
She herself only found out last night, and only confirmed it this morning after having an ultrasound and blood test. She even just told him who the baby's father was. How did her mother and Aunt Ji find out so quickly?
Instead of answering, Yu Ran asked, "What, are you still trying to hide it from us?"
Huo Huaisui: "...No."
Yu Ran: "Go to bed early and get up early, and stop staying up late."
Huo Huaisui: "Oh."
Ji Xueru and Yu Ran did not stay too late. After explaining everything that needed to be explained, they left.
"Go take a shower?" Xie Qinglan asked.
Huo Huai Sui nodded and turned to walk towards the master bedroom.
Xie Qinglan followed behind her, "Do you need any help?"
Huo Huaisui: "No."
After taking a shower and going to bed, Huo Huaisui still couldn't figure out how Yu Ran and Ji Xueru knew he was pregnant.
She called out, "Xie Qinglan."
Xie Qinglan: "Hmm?"
“Tell me,” Huo Huaisui turned to face Xie Qinglan, “how did my mother and your mother know I was pregnant?”
"..." Xie Qinglan asked, "You've been going back and forth about this all this time?"
In the darkness, Huo Huai Sui stared at him with wide eyes, without saying a word.
Xie Qinglan covered her mouth and coughed lightly, "I said it."
Huo Huaisui: "?"
Xie Qinglan: "I saw a pregnancy test in the trash can."
"..."
Huo Huaisui's mind began to work slowly.
She probably threw the pregnancy test in the trash can after using it in the morning and forgot to take it with her. Then that scoundrel who skipped work early saw it, found out she was pregnant, told his mother and her mother, and pretended not to know anything about it...
Huo Huaisui asked, feigning composure, "Besides my mom and your mom, who else did you tell?"
Xie Qinglan hummed in response: "Basically, everyone has been notified."
Huo Huai Sui's heart skipped a beat. "All?"
Xie Qinglan listed them off to her: "My parents and your parents, your brother, my grandparents, my uncle, my eldest uncle's family, my third uncle's family, my aunt..."
Huo Huai Sui's face grew darker and darker as he listened.
She gritted her teeth secretly, feeling her fist harden.
She spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to tell him, whether to tell him, and when to tell him, but it turned out she was overthinking it; he already knew.
She and Niannian went to such a far hospital because they didn't want anyone to know, but this scoundrel not only found out himself, but also notified everyone around him.
Everyone around her knew she was pregnant, except for her; they all knew.
You bastard!
Huo Huaisui rolled over and sat on Xie Qinglan, grabbing his neck with both hands. "Xie Qinglan, I'll kill you!"
