Six months later.
That day, Su Xiaonuan and Xiang Qiuyun went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
After getting off the bus, the two pregnant women touched each other's bellies on the street, ignoring everyone's stares.
"Haha, I can feel your baby moving around in my belly!" Su Xiaonuan exclaimed happily like a child. "How naughty! When I touch him, he flicks me. Qiuyun, you're definitely having a boy."
"Let me touch your baby." Xiang Qiuyun raised her hands, blew on them, rubbed them, and then placed her hands on Xiao Nuan's belly. "Wow, your belly is so big! My baby is still more than a month away from being born, and it's not even as big as your belly. What does Xiao Moran feed you every day?"
“She’s having twins,” Xiao Moran suddenly replied from behind.
"Twins?" Xiang Qiuyun turned to look at him, asking incredulously.
"Yes, twins," Xiao Moran said happily. "And they're both daughters."
"Really?" Xiang Qiuyun turned around and pulled Su Xiaonuan to ask.
"The doctor said it might be two daughters, but we'll only know for sure after they're born." Xiao Nuan nodded happily. They already have two sons, so having two more daughters would be perfect.
"Xiao Nuan, you're so lucky. You have two sons, and now you're having two daughters. You'll have a house full of children and grandchildren when you're old." Xiang Qiuyun sighed as she spoke. She was going to jail after giving birth to her children, and she wouldn't have the chance to be there for them as they grew up.
"Qiuyun, are you worried that no one will take care of the child?" Su Xiaonuan could also sense her disappointment and sadness.
"Xiao Nuan, do you think giving birth to this child will harm him?" Xiang Qiuyun said sadly. "He'll be born without a father, and his mother won't be by his side. Will he hate me, his selfish mother, when he grows up?"
"No." Su Xiaonuan waved her hand. "Ten years is just a sentence, it'll be over in the blink of an eye. Besides, you killed a bad guy, you were avenging the child's father. The child won't hate you when he finds out. If you behave well in prison, you might get a reduced sentence."
"Xiao Nuan, thank you so much. I really don't know how to thank you enough. If it weren't for you, Xiao Bao's sister-in-law and nephew and niece wouldn't be living such a good life today. They are doing very well now and have even brought Xiao Bao's parents over. It's all thanks to you and Xiao Moran. Xiao Bao's parents said that if I have a child, I can give it to them to raise, and they will also take care of my mother for me."
Xiang Qiuyun has lived with her mother since she was a child and has no relatives or friends. Now, suddenly a large family has come to care for her, and she feels very happy.
“Xiao Bao’s parents are getting old, and Sister Xiuhua has to go to work. After your son is born, you can leave him with me to take care of. Anyway, I have to take care of my own children. Whether it’s one child or a group of children, it’s all the same. I promise to treat him like my own child. Whatever my children have, he will have too.”
"Xiao Nuan, thank you so much." Xiang Qiuyun never expected that Su Xiao Nuan would raise her and Wang Xiaobao's child. With Xiao Nuan raising him, he would definitely be better off than Xiaobao's elderly parents.
"What are you thanking me for?" Su Xiaonuan winked at her. "We used to be good friends, didn't we?"
"But I've done so many things that I've wronged you..."
“Qiuyun, it’s all in the past. Let’s not dwell on it anymore. We need to look forward. When you come out, I will definitely give you a healthy and smart child in return,” Su Xiaonuan said. “And your mother, I will bring her to our home to take care of her. She can spend every day with her grandson, and her pain will be relieved.”
"Xiao Nuan, how can I ever thank you enough?" Xiang Qiuyun said, sobbing uncontrollably. "I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. In the next life, let's be best friends again. I'm willing to be your slave."
"I don't want you to be my slave. In the next life, we'll be best friends again, and I promise I'll never let you feel superior to me." Su Xiaonuan knew the root of Xiang Qiuyun's bad behavior. "I also won't let you live in constant feelings of inferiority and inequality. We'll be the kind of best friends who share joys and sorrows."
"Xiao Nuan, I was wrong. I was petty. You were so good to me, but I hurt you because of jealousy and envy. I'm sorry..."
"Okay, stop crying, it's bad for the child."
"Are you two still going for your prenatal checkups?" Xiao Moran asked with a smile. "How about I take you two to a teahouse first, and you can go to the hospital for your checkups another day? I think you two have a lot to catch up on."
"Going for a prenatal checkup." Xiang Qiuyun wiped away her tears.
When Xiao Moran, the big boss, took two pregnant women to a prenatal checkup, it immediately attracted a lot of attention and criticism.
"Look, this man brought two pregnant women to a prenatal checkup. Could it be that both women are pregnant with his child?"
"Look how well he takes care of both pregnant women. This man is really something!"
Someone recognized him. "He's a big boss in our provincial capital. What's two women to him? He could support ten women if he wanted. Have you forgotten that grand wedding last year?"
The mention of a lavish wedding brings back memories for many, but it also raises numerous questions, with some saying that the love of the wealthy is worthless.
"That woman looks a bit like a former wanted criminal, how come?"
......
The two pregnant women frowned as they listened to these words. They wanted to turn around and yell at the gossips, but their bellies were too big, and they were too slumped in their chairs to get up, so they just let those people talk nonsense.
Su Xiaonuan thought to herself that if it weren't for her limited mobility, she would have already used force to deal with these people. Since becoming pregnant, this tough woman has gradually become gentler.
Xiao Moran finally finished his work. He had already heard what those people said. He put his hand on Su Xiaonuan's shoulder and looked at them with a half-smile. "I think you all have too much free time. No matter how rich I, Xiao Moran, am, I will never betray my wife in this lifetime. This woman is the only woman I love most in this life. If I ever betray her, may I die a horrible death. You will all be my witnesses, and that grand wedding will also be a witness."
"Then what about the other woman next to you?" someone asked, pointing at Xiang Qiuyun. "It's said that you accompany both of them to the hospital for every prenatal checkup. She's not your woman, so why are you treating her like this?"
"Is it wrong for her to be my sister?" Xiao Moran pointed at them. "You people are so disgusting. Just because she accompanied her to a prenatal checkup doesn't mean it's my business. Don't any of you have sisters? Her husband is gone, is it wrong for me to accompany her to a prenatal checkup?"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Those people were so ashamed that they kept apologizing to Xiao Moran.
Xiang Qiuyun struggled to stand up from her chair and turned to the group, saying, "Actually, I'm not Boss Xiao's sister. I'm their enemy, the one who caused such a stir with the financial fraud case that everyone knew about, right?"
Those people nodded.
"Qiuyun." Su Xiaonuan shook her head at her, telling her not to say it.
But she didn't listen to Su Xiaonuan and continued, "My husband and I were accomplices in that crime, helping the bad guys swindle money from those people. In the end, we were sold off and became wanted criminals. To clear our names and find out where the money went, my husband was killed, and I killed the murderer who killed my husband. I'll be going to prison after I give birth to this child."
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
