"Son, you can't abort him! Hua Lin, you can't agree to that! He's your own flesh and blood!"
“Changxing, after I gave birth to you, I could not have any more children. I always wanted to have another child for the Shen family, but I never had the chance.”
"Now that Hua Lin is pregnant, can't you have this child?"
Hua Lin, Mom begs you, Hua Lin…”
Lu Zhengnan was extremely excited, almost frantic, and she made a move to kneel down.
At this time, Shen Jianping, who was the only one in the Shen family who could persuade her, went back to his workplace after the midday banquet and was not at home.
"Oh dear, Mom, please don't do this..."
Li Hualin was terrified, and because her pregnancy was still unstable, she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Shen Changxing reacted quickly and supported her waist, allowing her to slowly fall onto the sofa.
Li Hualin was panting heavily and it took her a while to recover.
For the past month or two, she had no idea she was pregnant.
During this period, the health department has been very busy due to the outbreak in Guangdong Province, although it has not yet spread to Beijing.
She already had little rest time, and her mental state worsened after becoming pregnant.
"Mom! Okay, we'll have the baby, but I'll quit my job. I'll submit my resignation tomorrow."
Shen Changxing was both in pain and helpless. He first comforted his wife and then went over to help his mother up.
He originally preferred life in the military, but was injured and could no longer stay in the army.
When faced with the prospect of changing careers, perhaps he should, like his uncle, start his own business.
Hua Lin's unexpected pregnancy is considered an over-birth, and since both she and her husband are employed, they are facing layoffs.
At this moment, Shen Changxing said he was going to submit his resignation report, as if the dust had been settled and he felt relieved.
It's just that Hualin will have to suffer and endure hardship.
If she hadn't gotten pregnant, that would have been fine, but since she was, he knew Hua Lin wanted to have the baby.
"No, Changxing, don't touch the work first. I'm going back to the Lu family and I'll ask your grandfather for help."
Lu Zhengnan had just heard her son say that he agreed to let the baby be born, and before she could even be happy, she heard him say that he wanted to quit his job. She immediately shook her head in opposition.
There are so many people who have exceeded the birth limit, so she asked her father to intervene and put in a good word for her.
At least, at least one of the son and daughter-in-law can keep their jobs.
Back then, due to health reasons, Lu Zhengnan was unable to have more children for the Shen family, and he always thought about having his daughter-in-law give birth to one more child.
As for the penalties for having more children than allowed, Lu Zhengnan had a good plan.
As long as they go back to their parents' home and ask the Lu family for help, Changxing and Hualin will at least be able to find jobs.
"Yes, I'll go find your grandfather right now!"
Lu Zhengnan felt he couldn't delay any longer, so he immediately turned around and ran out.
"Mom, come back..."
Shen Changxing's expression changed again. Today is his maternal grandfather's birthday. If his mother goes to see his maternal grandfather at this time, won't that upset him?
Moreover, he doesn't plan to use connections.
"Hua Lin, let me help you back to your room to rest first, and then we'll go to Grandpa's house. I'm afraid Mom will upset Grandpa."
"Okay, Changxing is fine. Since I'm pregnant, we'll have the baby. I don't need to work anymore."
"Changxing, don't worry. All your uncles are here today; they won't let Mother do anything rash!"
Seeing her husband so exhausted and filled with self-blame, Li Hualin felt very sorry for him.
With a mother like his mother, Changxing must be exhausted.
In the banquet hall, the three Chen sisters chatted for a while.
Chen Meihua was a little worried and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, it seems that Mo Ziming is also in Beijing. Will he try to take Xiao Yuanyuan away from me?"
"How can you snatch it? For children under two years old, the law clearly stipulates that the mother should have custody."
As for the future, before Xiaoyuan becomes a minor, you, as her mother, have priority.
"As long as you, Third Sister, don't do anything foolish!"
Chen Xihua had no worries about Xiao Yuanyuan's custody.
The Mo family doesn't need another illegitimate daughter, and even if the Mo family wanted to take her away, the Chen family wouldn't stand a chance.
However, judging from the banquet, Mo Ziqin and Liu Wenqing had a good personal relationship, and Lu Zhengjing's attitude towards the second young master of the Mo family showed that he did not intend to develop a deep relationship with him.
It seems she needs to investigate the Mo family, pay attention to them, and be prepared.
"That's good!" Chen Meihua was relieved. She went straight back to the film set and took a taxi by herself, without needing Bai Feng to drive her.
"Xiao Wu, I'm going back to school now!" Chen Xiuhua said to Ning Wenfeng.
Most of the guests had left, and the Lu family was the last to depart. Lu Zhengde and his family accompanied Old Master Lu back to the compound first.
The hotel's subsequent coordination was handled by Lu Zhengren and his wife, as well as Lu Zhengjing.
Chen Xihua was also there. When Grandpa Lu left, he invited her to his home, and she couldn't refuse.
I thought most of the guests had left, but to my surprise, there was still one person who hadn't left: Xia Ruolan.
She approached Chen Xihua, her eyes dull and lifeless. She bit her lip a few times, her hands hanging down, clenching into fists, then releasing them.
Then she looked up and saw that her eyes were red at the corners, and she said with a sense of loss, "Chen Xihua, you are so lucky!"
Before he lost his memory, he loved you; after he lost his memory, he still loves you!
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Xihua to say anything, she raised her head, puffed out her chest, and left confidently and gracefully without looking back.
She didn't look at Lu Zhengjing, who was not far away, even once more.
One moment she was slumped over, listless, the next she was standing resolutely with her back turned.
It gives people a sense of relief from unrequited love and a carefree attitude of letting go completely.
In Chen Xihua's view, there was also a trace of resentment; the departing girl was a proud person.
Love may make Xia Ruolan lose herself, but a proud person will not do anything humiliating or subservient in front of a rival.
"Xi Hua, you saw her at the hospital, Dr. Xia."
Her grandfather, Dean Xia, had a good relationship with my father. My family tricked me into going to the hospital so that I could meet her.
Dr. Xia must have had a crush on me, but I didn't like her. I rejected her before I lost my memory.
Lu Zhengjing had been talking to the hotel manager, but he kept glancing over here out of the corner of his eye, worried that Xia Ruolan might cause her trouble or say something extreme.
He exchanged a few words with the manager to end the conversation, then strode over, only to find that Xia Ruolan had already left.
He explained things very clearly, and even seemed a little smug when he said that others liked him.
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell directly on her face, trying to find out if she was even slightly unhappy.
"Seventh Master Lu, don't be nervous. She said you like me!"
Chen Xihua smiled and joked, her delicate eyebrows curving upwards.
If you don't even have this much trust, what's the point of talking about a relationship? You might as well talk about business.
However, this person's attitude was commendable; they knew to explain!
It's not the kind where you just say one thing back and forth: "I have nothing to do with that person, don't misunderstand."
"Yes, I like you!" Lu Zhengjing seized the opportunity. "Let's go, let's go home!"
