Chapter 149: Lu Xin knows that Su Mengxue is pregnant!
Su Mengxue didn't know how to tell Zhou Huizhen for a moment, because she still hadn't received a reply from Gu Yunting. She was silent for a few seconds, and replied with a slightly unnatural look: "Mom, he needs to get approval from his superiors for the marriage certificate. The process is not that fast, so this is not something to rush."
Zhou Huizhen noticed her evasive gaze, paused, and said meaningfully, "Dear, of course I hope you can stay with us for a while longer, but seeing that your belly is getting bigger, we still need to finalize the marriage certificate as soon as possible. Also, if you have any problems, remember to tell Mom and Dad. We are both experienced people and have much more life experience than you, so we can help you with some advice."
Su Mengxue's eyes darkened. She looked at Zhou Huizhen and smiled, then replied, "Don't worry, Mom. If I really have something to say, I will definitely tell you."
"Okay, what you need most at this stage is adequate rest, so I won't disturb you. Lie down and rest for a while. I'll call you downstairs for dinner at noon." Zhou Huizhen touched her head lovingly and said with tenderness in her eyes.
Su Mengxue felt warm in her heart and smiled at her: "Mom, thank you."
"Silly child, you are my daughter, and I should do all this. You have suffered in the countryside these years. Your father and I will treat you twice as well to make up for it."
Seeing Zhou Huizhen about to cry, Su Mengxue knew she was thinking about what she had just said, so she hurriedly said, "Mom, I was just saying that. Don't take it to heart. I haven't suffered much. Besides, I'm home now, and I have a good life ahead of me. I'm very satisfied with my current life, so don't be sad."
Zhou Huizhen didn't want her to worry about herself, so she raised her hand to wipe away her tears and forced a smile on her face: "My precious daughter is back. It will be a good life from now on. I won't cry."
Su Mengxue smiled at her again: "Mom, you are right to do this."
Zhou Huizhen's eyes flickered as she looked at her and cautiously probed, "My daughter, you're home now. As for your name, we don't want to force it, but your father and I want to change your last name back so that you can recognize your ancestors. I wonder what you think."
Su Mengxue blinked her eyes. She had the same name and surname as the original owner, and she was called this name in modern society. If she changed her surname, she would be called Lu Mengxue. Thinking about it, it was a bit awkward to pronounce, and she herself felt weird.
But if we don't change it, it would be unreasonable.
Perhaps she hesitated for too long, Zhou Huizhen immediately changed the subject and said, "My daughter, you should have a good rest first. We can talk about this later." Zhou Huizhen stood up and walked out.
In fact, Su Mengxue was not too opposed to the idea of changing her surname. She just reacted instinctively and delayed the time. Zhou Huizhen didn't dare to say anything more. She could feel Zhou Huizhen's love and care for her.
She didn't want Zhou Huizhen to misunderstand, and was even more afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she reached out to stop Zhou Huizhen and said, "Mom, actually, I'm not either."
"My daughter, in your father's and my heart, your return home is the most important thing. We are not in a hurry to deal with other matters. We can talk about it slowly later."
Zhou Huizhen closed the door and went out. When she turned around, she saw Lu Xin standing at the door. She saw Lu Xin holding a plate of cakes and asked hurriedly, "Xinxin, are you here to bring food to your sister?"
Lu Xin smiled at her and nodded: "Mom, this is the dessert I specially prepared for my sister after dinner. I thought if she was bored staying in the room, she would eat something to relieve her boredom."
Zhou Huizhen took two steps forward and said with a look of relief, "Xinxin, your sister just returned home. She suffered so much in the countryside, so your father just spoke harshly to you in a fit of rage. You should be more considerate of him."
"Mom, you don't have to say anything. How could I not sympathize with Dad? Over the years, you've treated me like your own child and doted on me. I have nothing but love and gratitude for you, and absolutely no other opinions. Besides, I've witnessed the entire process of your search for sister over the years. Now that sister is finally back, I can understand Dad's feelings."
Zhou Huizhen knew that Lu Xin was always sensible. She patted her shoulder gently and said, "Okay, go in. This is a good opportunity for you two sisters to have a good chat. But your sister just came back and she needs to rest. Don't disturb her for too long."
Seeing Zhou Huizhen being so considerate to Su Mengxue, Lu Xin felt a surge of jealousy, but she still smiled and nodded in response, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll be in for a while and out right away. I won't disturb my sister."
"good."
After Zhou Huizhen left, Lu Xin pushed the door open and walked straight into Su Mengxue's room. She saw Su Mengxue lying on the bed with her eyes closed. A hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly closed the door.
The corners of her lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and she said with a smile: "I was worried that my sister would not be able to sleep in a new place, but it seems that I was worrying too much."
Su Mengxue naturally understood the sarcasm in Lu Xin's words. She opened her eyes and said impatiently, "Do you know how to be polite? Who told you to come in without knocking? Get out right now."
Lu Xin turned a deaf ear to her words. She slammed the cake in her hand onto the table beside her, leaned against the table, crossed her arms at her sides, and said with disdain, "Hey, sister, you just got home and you're already acting so arrogantly. You really think you're a rich girl."
Su Mengxue raised her eyebrows and replied coldly, "If I'm not, then you are? Lu Xin, I should be the one saying this. No matter how long you live here, you're just a substitute or a fake."
Lu Xin's eyes suddenly turned cold. She clenched her fingers tightly and said unhappily, "Su Mengxue, even if you are their biological child, so what? I'm the one who's been with them for so many years. Haven't you heard that biological children are not as close as adopted ones? My relationship with them is much closer than yours. Besides, you've been staying in the countryside for these years, but I live in Shanghai. I'm much more knowledgeable and worldly-wise than you."
After Lu Xin finished speaking, Su Mengxue scoffed and replied nonchalantly, "So, what's the point of you saying all this? Are you trying to show off to me? Or are you trying to show off your superiority in front of me?"
She paused and added, "Have you ever heard that explanation is a cover-up? The reason you suddenly came to me and said so much is because you were panicking. You were afraid that my arrival would affect your status here, so you kept explaining to prove your importance in this family."
Having his secret exposed, Lu Xin glared at Su Mengxue and gritted his teeth, "My parents love me so much, I won't panic. Su Mengxue, I think you should be the one panicking. After all, you're pregnant now, and the father of your child still refuses to get a marriage certificate with you."
Su Mengxue glanced at Lu Xin, then slowly sat up from the bed and asked coldly, "So you were standing at the door and overheard our conversation just now?"
