Shan Ying was not at all restrained. She placed her right hand on her flat belly, her eyes full of joy.
"I didn't want to get married so soon, but Chengyi urged me to do it. He was worried that my belly would get bigger in a few months and it wouldn't look good in my wedding dress. He said he wanted me to be the most beautiful bride in the world."
Shan Ying got pregnant before marriage, but she acted like she had done something extraordinary and wanted to show off everywhere.
As she spoke, she glanced at Lu An Ning provocatively, her eyes falling on Lu An Ning's flat belly.
"My parents also said that it's difficult for young people to get pregnant now. There are so many people out there who want to get pregnant but can't. Mother-in-law, don't you agree?"
"Of course." Chen Yizhi suddenly straightened her back. "This pregnancy requires blessings. Some people with little blessings and low fates naturally have little luck with offspring and are not blessed with children. Unlike you, you have a good fate."
Lu Anning couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. What era is it now? He's still talking about children. He's sick.
Lu An Ning was too lazy to pay attention, but Tang Jingyuan didn't tolerate them. This gentleman was worried that he had no place to vent his anger!
Tang Jingyuan glanced at Shan Ying, his eyes fell on Pei Chengyi, and smiled contemptuously: "Are you sure it's yours?"
He stepped forward and patted Pei Chengyi's shoulder gently: "It's better to clarify things about children. Don't let it be like last time."
Chen Yizhi's face flushed immediately, and he coughed twice: "Third brother, today we are talking about a happy event, so let's not mention a dead person, it's too unlucky."
In the past, Shen Yizi didn’t like Lu Yunxi very much. Now that Lu Yunxi committed suicide, she should be the happiest person!
Pei Chengyi, on the other hand, didn't care about this at all. He had a child with Shan Ying so quickly. Thinking back to their so-called deep affection before, Lu Anning couldn't help but find it ridiculous. They were really a cold-hearted family.
Lu Anning looked at the people in the living room and realized that Pei Yongsheng was not there, and even Pei Wenbin was not seen.
She was just wondering when she heard footsteps at the stairs. She and Tang Jingyuan turned around at the same time and saw Pei Yongsheng helping the old man down the stairs in a rare steady manner. Standing on the other side was Pei Wenbin.
Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan exchanged glances and understood each other.
This morning, Pei Yongsheng met Mr. and Mrs. Smith before Tang Jingyuan, specifically to show off. Even Pei Wenbin's eyes revealed joy.
As an old father, he should be happy that his eldest son has suddenly become smart and learned well. But is their joy a little premature?
The old man was supported all the way to sit in the main seat, his eyes vaguely showing his appreciation for Pei Yongsheng.
He cleared his throat. "I called you back for dinner because I wanted to make an announcement. Yongsheng is about to secure the partnership with the Smiths, and I'm very pleased. As the eldest grandson, he's finally figured it out. Yongsheng, it's great that you can focus on your career. I hope you keep it up and show us some achievements."
"Grandpa, don't worry! I was ignorant before. From now on, I will work hard and contribute to the Pei family's business."
"Once you get the cooperation, I'll let you take charge of the foreign trade market. It's time for me to slowly let go! Chengyi is not bad either. He has his own child at such a young age, and he never gives me any worries about the company. You two brothers should work hard."
The old man rarely spoke so much, and his words revealed his expectations for the child.
Just as Lu Anning was about to fall asleep, the old man suddenly called out her and Tang Jingyuan's names.
"Third brother, An Ning, you two have been married for a while now. When will you bring me some good news? You should get married first, don't fall behind the two younger generations. Children are very important!"
Tang Jingyuan sneered, "Are you planning to hand over power? You're urging me to have a child? Why don't I call the legal department now? You write your will first, and then I'll consider whether to have a child or not."
"What are you talking about!" The old man slapped the armrest and glared at Tang Jingyuan: "Are you really looking forward to my death?"
"Yes! I've already prepared the stove, the most luxurious one, just waiting for you to die."
As soon as Tang Jingyuan finished speaking, the old man grabbed the tea bowl next to him and was about to throw it at Tang Jingyuan, but his hand was raised in the air and then stopped.
"You have to make me mad to death before you're happy, don't you?"
"I thought I had made it obvious enough."
"you……"
The old man's face flushed red, and he was about to give a lecture when someone from the kitchen came over to pass on a message, thus stopping the argument.
Lu Anning breathed a sigh of relief. Every time she came to the old house, she felt that the father and son were about to fight at any time, and it would be either you die or I die.
At the critical moment, the old man controlled his temper and snorted coldly: "I'm in good health. It's too early to hope for my death! Yongsheng, you and Chengyi come and help me."
The old man was supported by the two brothers to go to the restaurant. This was a treatment that the Pei brothers had never received before. Shen Yizi's face became more and more proud, and he even helped Shan Ying to sit down carefully.
Lu Anning looked at these dramatic scenes coldly and found them boring.
The old man really cared about Shan Ying's belly and specially asked someone to prepare bird's nest and shark fin to nourish her body. Although Lu An Ning also had some, it was obvious at a glance that Shan Ying's was full of ingredients and was about to overflow.
Lu An Ning took a sip of the milk-based bird's nest in front of her, and it didn't taste as good as what she usually drank, so she put it aside and didn't touch it. In the eyes of Shan Ying and Shen Yizi, Lu An Ning became jealous.
After dinner, the old man called the men to the study upstairs as usual, leaving only the women to drink tea in the side hall.
Shan Ying poured a cup of tea for Lu An Ning and sat down next to her. Lu An Ning glanced at her and moved his chair back half an inch to keep some distance from Shan Ying.
"What's up?"
Shan Ying smiled awkwardly and said, "You must have felt very uncomfortable just now. Were you surprised? I have you to thank for my support today, Lu Anning!"
