At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 976 I'll ask those scumbags for you
"I know," Xiao Shiqiu said slowly, "The police have told her the results of the examination. It's up to her to decide how to handle it."
Although I knew there must be something wrong with this test, I still asked curiously, "What does this test result mean?"
"47 chromosomes, one more than normal," my mother said, "An extra chromosome 21 means she's pregnant with Down syndrome.
But he is indeed a son.”
Down syndrome? Aren't they that special group of people who almost all have the same face?
Xu Shimo probably wouldn't want a son like this.
After dinner, we took my mother to a five-star hotel near the hospital.
Xiao Shiqiu said apologetically, "Mom, the place Mengmeng and I live in now is too small. When we move to the villa, we will leave a room for you and Dad. If you are willing, you can come and stay anytime, for as long as you want, and treat it as your own home."
He was very good at coaxing people. My mother was so relieved by his coaxing that she couldn't help laughing. "It's okay. It's close here, it's good. Your new house will take some time to be renovated. Don't rush to move in. It's not good for your health if you move in too early."
It's rare for my mother to be so considerate. If it weren't for the materialism that has penetrated my heart, I would have suspected that my mother's heart had been replaced during this period.
On the way home, Xiao Shiqiu casually said, "Baby, now that you've graduated, shouldn't we start moving?"
I glanced at him and half-jokingly said, "What's the matter? My small two-bedroom apartment can't accommodate a tall person like you?"
"It limits my athletic ability," he complained seriously. "The small court affects my performance."
I laughed and called him shameless.
Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to move. That small apartment was the beginning of our cohabitation life.
It holds many sweet memories, but the space is indeed tight.
Especially after Xiao Shiqiu moved in some of his work materials, in order to spend time with me, he preferred to work in the living room, and the small coffee table was almost flooded with materials.
I didn't worry much about the decoration of the new house. My only participation was that he gave me pictures and asked me to choose the style and color.
As for quality, brand and price, I didn't worry about them at all. The experience was extremely good and it was as worry-free as if I had bought a fully furnished house that I could customize.
If you just want to move in, the rest will be trivial matters.
"Of course I want to move too," I turned my head to look at him and followed his words, "Who doesn't want to live in a bigger house? It's just... that house now, even though the major framework is complete, it's still a long way from being habitable."
I counted on my fingers for him to hear, "Curtains, lamps, various small appliances, pots and pans, miscellaneous storage items, bedding sets, towels and bath towels...
These little things that are indispensable for daily life have to be purchased bit by bit.
You can't just move in with just the bed and quilt, right?"
I paused, a hint of apology in my tone: "I know that you took on all the most troublesome and exhausting tasks up front, such as design and renovation, running around the building materials market, and supervising the workers.
I was busy with my graduation thesis defense and job hunting at the time, so I couldn’t help at all…”
"Baby, it's okay, you don't have to feel guilty," he said lightly, "all the work you mentioned was done by Xiao Yang. I was only responsible for showing you the pictures when he asked me to decide, and then signing the payment slip."
I was speechless for a moment, and in the end Xiao Yang took responsibility for everything.
I was silent for a few seconds. "More versatile people like Xiao Yang are better. Aren't you exploiting him a bit too much?"
All the work is his, and there is no distinction between public and private affairs.
"He's getting paid five people's wages. Isn't it too much to ask him to do the work of three people?"
When it comes to money, everything makes sense again.
I thought about it and said, "Even if Xiao Yang is here, it would be a bit too much if I just walked away from him and pushed even the small things like buying small things onto him."
Xiao Shiqiu smiled and said, "It's okay to ask him to do more work. The main thing is that I'm afraid that what he chooses won't suit your taste. I can let you decide on the big items, but it's more convenient for you to choose the small things yourself.
Of course, we can do these together. But..."
He gave me a meaningful look and said, "I'll have to rely on you to decorate the baby's room."
His casual remark made me stunned for a moment, and then I realized that as a married girl, I would have to face the important issue of having a baby next.
"Didn't you say we'd consider having kids after the wedding?" I pouted and acted coquettishly.
Xiao Shiqiu explained good-naturedly, "Yes, but we have to prepare the baby's room at the same time, right? It would be so troublesome to go through the trouble twice."
That being said, the reality is a bit helpless.
I sighed, “But you know, a lot has happened recently, and I really don’t have the energy to think about these things.
There are two people lying in the hospital, and we don’t know what’s going on with Fang Dongmei yet…”
Speaking of Fang Dongmei, I haven't wanted to contact Luo Yong these two days, and I don't know what's going on over there.
"I haven't been to the operations center these days, and I don't know whether Captain Wen has started the operation. Luo Yong didn't tell me either." I complained casually.
Xiao Shiqiu teased me nonchalantly, "You're so worried at such a young age, aren't you afraid of getting old quickly?"
I argued, "I've been involved in this case since the beginning, but at the most critical moment, I'm no longer involved. It's like being abandoned by a scumbag."
Xiao Shiqiu reached out and rubbed my head. "Don't even think about finding another excuse to go to the bar! Wait for me to ask those scumbags when they start working, so you don't have to worry about them."
Xiao Shiqiu was about to grab his phone, but I quickly held his hand down. "Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! What if Captain Wen and the others are lying in ambush or engaging in a firefight? If your phone rings, won't you be exposed? That's how it's played out on TV!"
He paused, turned his head to look at me, and a smile of both anger and amusement appeared on his lips. "Oh, our baby is quite sensible." He pinched my palm with his backhand, "Of course I won't call Wen Congwu directly."
He pulled his hand out and skillfully operated the Bluetooth phone on the car screen, saying with a hint of sarcasm: "I'm calling Boris.
Don't forget, I hired this elite force of his with my own money.
As the financial backer who pays the bills, isn't it only natural for me to care about my employees' action plans and ask them when they will start working? "
Yes, as an employer, it is certainly not excessive for him to make such a request.
As the planner of the operation, Boris should be responsible for guidance in the rear, and he must have first-hand information.
