When Grandpa Mu and Xu Xinning arrived, Old Man Ouyang and an unfamiliar middle-aged soldier were also there.

When the senior leader saw Xu Xinning enter, he waved to her and said with a smile, "Comrade Xu, come, come, sit here."

Xu Xinning glanced at the seat the big boss had offered her. On the small table next to her were many snacks, including cookies, chocolates, and various pastries. Surprisingly, there was even a glass of fresh milk.

Old Man Ouyang looked at Xu Xinning and snorted, saying sarcastically, "The commander is so biased. He prepared so much food for the little girl as soon as she arrived. I've never been treated this well in all the times I've been here."

The high-ranking leader glanced at Old Man Ouyang with a smile, but said in a slightly annoyed tone, "The little girl is pregnant, and you're pregnant too?"

Grandpa Mu and the middle-aged soldier burst into laughter after hearing this.

Grandpa Mu: "Old Ouyang, why don't you try getting pregnant too? Maybe you'll get better treatment. After all, this is a rare and extraordinary event in the world, and you'll definitely become someone who receives attention and protection from the whole country and even the world."

Old Man Ouyang got impatient, waved his hand, and said angrily, "Go away, go away, if you want to get pregnant, go get pregnant yourself, you disrespectful old man."

The big boss laughed heartily again, which made him seem very happy.

The current leader had changed a lot when Xu Xinning first met him. His face was sallow, his eyes were dull, and he was very thin. His cheeks were sunken, and he looked like an old man who was nearing the end of his life.

Now his complexion is rosy, and although he is still very thin, his cheeks are no longer sunken. His eyes look very bright, as if you can see into a person's heart at a glance.

He's in great spirits right now, looking very energetic.

After everyone finished laughing, the senior leader looked at Xu Xinning and said, "Girl, drink your milk. It's not lunchtime yet, so don't go hungry. You can eat while you talk to us. We called you here today to discuss medical exchanges, so let's just treat it as a chat and discussion. No need to be so formal."

Xu Xinning touched her belly and replied with a smile, "It's okay, I'm still early in the pregnancy, and I'm not hungry that fast. These two babies are quite stable, and I don't feel much during my pregnancy."

The senior leader looked at Xu Xinning's belly with great curiosity, clearly having grasped the key point of what Xu Xinning had just said.

The big boss said, "Old Mu, you're so lucky!"

Old Man Ouyang also seemed very excited and immediately stepped forward, saying, "Girl, stretch out your hand, let me take your pulse."

Xu Xinning smiled and reached out her hand.

Grandpa Mu may not have heard Xu Xinning's words clearly. Now that he sees Old Man Ouyang about to take Xu Xinning's pulse, he immediately becomes nervous.

Grandpa Mu: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Did the child bother you?"

The senior leader smiled and pulled Old Master Mu aside, saying, "Please sit down. How could such a smart person make such a mistake? It's a good thing; let Ouyang experience it too."

After taking the pulse for a while, Old Man Ouyang's smile grew wider and wider.

Old Man Ouyang: "Good, good, good. I've never had such a good pulse reading in my entire life. What kind of incredible luck did this spoiled brat Mu Lao Er have? How come he gets all the good things?"

Grandpa Mu looked puzzled and said loudly, "Speak like a normal person, stop being so mysterious and cryptic all day long."

Old Man Ouyang rolled his eyes at Old Master Mu and said irritably, "You old fool, you've really hit the jackpot."

Fearing another verbal battle between the two, the senior leader smiled and said, "The young lady is carrying twins. Old Mu, you're about to have two great-grandchildren."

Grandpa Mu had actually heard it just now, but he couldn't believe it. Now he was truly excited.

Old Master Mu: "Really? Oh my god, two of them!"

Old Man Ouyang: "Twins, your Mu family really hit the jackpot."

Top leader: "Twins?"

Grandpa Mu: "Twins?"

The top leader and Old Master Mu spoke in unison.

Old Man Ouyang nodded.

The top leader laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, auspicious dragon and phoenix, not bad, not bad."

After the leader finished speaking, he took out a piece of jade he was wearing around his neck, then had someone hand it to Xu Xinning: "Girl, take this. This is a gift from me. Jade is a spiritual object. You can pass it on to your baby girl after she is born."

Those close to the high-ranking leader know that he always carried this jade pendant close to his body, never taking it off even during the war years. It was said to have been passed down from his family ancestors, but now he just gave it to Xu Xinning.

Clearly, Old Master Mu was aware of the value of this jade and immediately stopped him, saying, "We can't accept it. How can we accept such a precious gift from you?"

The moment Xu Xinning's hand touched the jade, she knew it was no ordinary piece.

In her previous life, she had studied jewelry appraisal, and this jade, judging from its clarity and patina, was clearly a fine piece that had been around for some time.

Xu Xinning said, "Chief, I cannot accept it."

The high-ranking leader waved his hand and said, "Since I've given it away, I have no intention of taking it back. It's just an object; if you can use it, it's valuable, but if you can't, it's just an inanimate object."

Actually, the big boss also has his own selfish motives. He recently had a great-grandson, and now that he knows Xu Xinning is pregnant with a daughter, he secretly wants to bring this little girl into his own family. With parents like that, the child's qualities are bound to be excellent.

Actually, this jade pendant is a pair. The other one was originally worn by his wife. After she passed away, he put it away, perhaps so that he could pass it on to his great-grandson when he got back.

It's better to act sooner rather than later. You have to act when the time is right. I learned this skill from Mu Jingheng. If you act too late, you'll end up like Old Man Ouyang and Du Zhong, regretting it.

Xu Xinning glanced at Old Master Mu, then accepted the jade pendant. She thought to herself that she would make a bottle of good medicine for the big boss and send it over when she got back. This was the best gift she could give in return.

The big boss was even happier to see Xu Xinning accept it.

With everyone in a good mood, it became much easier for them to talk about things.

It turns out that this middle-aged soldier was originally a personal attendant to a high-ranking leader. Now he works with Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, mainly responsible for security. He was in charge of security for this domestic and international medical exchange, so the high-ranking leader called him over.

This man's name is Shao Baiyan, and he is Shao Qifeng's cousin.

Xu Xinning knew nothing about the Shao family. She had only heard from Qin Yao that Shao Qifeng from the compound had gone to the countryside with her and had helped her a lot.

At this moment, Xu Xinning had no idea that Shao Baixuan and Shao Qifeng were from the same family.
