Chapter 771 What kind of attitude is this?
Bai Yi shook her head. "I didn't think much about it. What she said is true. She doesn't know the specifics of my relationship with Wang Ye. In her heart, I'm just Wang Ye's wife and the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. Giving birth is what I should do."
He Fen herself is a traditional woman who believes that carrying on the family line is something that women should do.
In addition, she already had a problem with Bai Yi, so she would definitely pick a fight with Bai Yi over this matter.
She had already thought of it from the first time He Fen told her about it.
Bai Yi had initially thought she could delay it as long as possible, but she knew in her heart that unless she divorced Wang Ye, there was no way to escape this matter.
Qiao Xing knew that Bai Yi was in a difficult position, but she couldn't offer any good advice.
"How about..." Qiao Xing tentatively suggested, "Why don't you and your cousin just make it a fait accompli and have a child?"
Bai Yi stared at her in shock, "Huh?"
"Cough cough!"
Just as Qiao Xing was about to speak, a coughing sound suddenly came from the doorway.
The two looked over at the same time, and Wang Ye was standing at the door, looking at them with an embarrassed expression.
Wang Ye was worried that Bai Yi would be upset by what He Fen had just said, so he wanted to come and comfort Bai Yi. But as soon as he reached the door, he heard Qiao Xing's astonishing remarks.
When Bai Yi saw Wang Ye, her cheeks immediately turned red, and even her earlobes felt hot.
She quickly looked away, focusing on the sketchbook in Linlin's hand, pretending not to have heard what Qiao Xing had just said.
"Uh..." Wang Ye touched his nose, he was actually even more embarrassed than Bai Yi. "The food is ready, let's come out and eat."
Neither of them seemed to take Qiao Xing's words to heart, as if she hadn't said anything at all.
But what Qiao Xing just said was definitely not just casual talk.
The relationship between Bai Yi and Wang Ye cannot remain stagnant forever, without any change.
This is actually a great opportunity if they don't want to get divorced because of having a child.
But Qiao Xing didn't know that these two people each had their own thoughts, but because they had to consider this and that, they were unwilling to say them.
If we wait for them to take the initiative to consider that direction, it will probably take forever.
Wang Qin prepared a large table of dishes. It was a lively day, and Wang Yue even brought out his treasured wines.
"Today is Fen's birthday, and it's not easy for our family to get together like this." He invited everyone, "Let's wish her a happy birthday first!"
Apart from Wang Yue and his son, and Qin Ce, who were drinking alcohol, everyone else was drinking fruit juice.
Everyone raised their cups, holding them halfway up the wall. Even Linlin held a small cup in his hand. Because he wasn't tall enough, he stretched his arms forward, trying to fit in with the adults.
After clinking glasses, everyone sat down to eat.
"Xiaoqin's cooking skills have improved again. The taste is almost as good as that of the chefs in high-end restaurants."
Wang Qin smiled shyly, "I'm glad everyone doesn't mind."
Lin Xi took care of Xi Xi like an older sister. Bai Yi and Qiao Xing chatted while eating. On the other side, Wang Ye toasted Qin Ce and asked him for advice on what he should pay attention to if he wanted to open a branch store later.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious and joyful, but the birthday girl, He Fen, looked at Bai Yi and then at Wang Ye, as if she had something on her mind.
No one noticed that something was wrong with her. After drinking two glasses of wine, Wang Ye secretly gave Linlin a wink.
Linlin received Wang Ye's signal, got off the chair, and walked to He Fen.
His voice was loud and clear, and his expression was earnest. "Wishing Grandma good health, a cheerful smile, and endless happiness. Happy birthday!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the adults immediately applauded him.
"Linlin is so sensible! She's wonderful!"
Wang Ye nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of his son, he's got that intelligence just like him!
Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, nothing went wrong, otherwise He Fen would have been unhappy again.
Linlin was praised, and while she felt shy, she also felt a little proud.
He Fen never expected the child to suddenly say those words to her.
She didn't really like Linlin, but she couldn't say anything to him in front of so many people.
All I could say was a perfunctory, "Let's go eat."
Linlin felt a little disappointed when she didn't receive He Fen's praise. She lowered her head and returned to her seat.
Wang Yue's smile froze, feeling that He Fen's behavior was inappropriate. "The child is simply offering you a few words of blessing, and this is how you treat him?"
If Wang Yue hadn't brought it up, He Fen could have tolerated it, but as soon as she heard him criticize her, she immediately became unhappy.
"What do you mean by my attitude? As an elder, am I supposed to thank him? Besides, he's not my own grandson, so why should I praise him every time he says a few words? If you're so capable, give me a real grandson, and I'll praise him every day!"
They started talking about having children again out of nowhere. Bai Yi put down her chopsticks and unconsciously clenched her fingers.
"mom!"
Wang Ye quickly glanced at Qiao Xing and Qin Ce, signaling to He Fen that there were other people around and that she should not say anything out of turn.
But He Fen had been holding these words in all night and had wanted to say them for a long time.
Moreover, she insisted on telling Bai Yi this in front of outsiders; otherwise, she would never take her words seriously.
Just as Wang Yue was about to persuade her, she heard her say, "Xiao Ye, don't blame me for speaking harshly. I'm doing this for your own good. You're young now and there's no rush to have children, but your father and I aren't young anymore. If you have a child now, we can help you take care of it for two years. Otherwise, when we get old and our bodies can't take care of it anymore, we won't even have anyone to help you take care of the child!"
Bai Yi silently pursed her lips.
Wang Ye put down his chopsticks, grabbed a handful of hair in frustration, and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you? Yi Yi and I are both busy with work right now. We'll think about having a child in a couple of years. We have Lin Lin now, that's enough. We didn't say we wouldn't have another one, so why are you in such a hurry?"
"You always try to fool me with these kinds of words. Don't think I don't know what's going on between you two. Linlin isn't your biological son after all. Once he goes to college, who knows how many times he'll be able to come back? Will it make any difference if he's not your son?"
The conversation was getting increasingly unpleasant, and Wang Yue couldn't take it anymore. "Regardless of whether she's biologically related or not, Xiao Yi married Xiao Ye, so Lin Lin is a member of the Wang family. She'll always be a child of the Wang family. Whether they have children or not is their business. Xingxing is right here. Aren't you ashamed to say such things?"
Qiao Xing was indeed a little embarrassed. This was a topic she shouldn't be involved in, but He Fen was clearly making things difficult for Bai Yi. If she didn't help Bai Yi, she would feel a little guilty.
She smiled, trying to ease the tension, "Auntie, my cousin and sister-in-law are still young, there's no rush to have children. Besides, raising children is very stressful these days. They say children are money-devouring beasts. Even if we want to have children, we have to earn enough money first, don't you think?"
