Hearing Lin Shiling's exaggerated description, Jin Zhiyan couldn't stop laughing, and she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her mouth.
"No way, Sister Shi Ling, you are exaggerating."
Taking a sip of champagne, Kim Ji-yeon suddenly realized that the champagne in Lee Boo-jung's hand had not been put down. "Boo-jung, why don't you drink it?"
Lin Shiling also looked at her with a playful look, as if she had vaguely guessed something.
Li Fuzhen smiled dumbly, and simply stopped pretending. She put down the cup and explained, "I'm pregnant."
With her red lips slightly parted and her slender white fingers blocking in front of her, Kim Ji-yeon was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Lin Shiling, on the other hand, smiled awkwardly and sent her her blessing: "Congratulations, this is a double happiness, we should find a place to celebrate properly."
"Fuzhen, you are really pregnant, it's..."
Kim Ji-yeon pointed to the side and saw Lee Jin-woo standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand in his pocket, talking on the phone with a high-spirited look. The countless people under his feet were like busy worker ants, diligently contributing their insignificant strength in exchange for the chance to live.
"Of course, who else could it be but him."
Lee Boo-jung frowned and gave her a look that said 'figure it out for yourself'. Kim Ji-yeon quickly lowered her head guiltily to drink the champagne, then pretended to be calm and turned her back to her.
"Fuzhen, congratulations."
Lin Shiling raised her glass to congratulate her, snatched the champagne glass from her hand, and asked someone to bring her a glass of juice instead.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Fuzhen used the name that she hadn't used for a long time again, which made Lin Shiling feel angry and very curious at the same time. Why did she do that?
Then, she felt a strong arm around her waist, "What are you talking about?"
Sensing the firm response behind her, Lin Shiling understood everything without her having to say anything.
'Man, what a weird hobby.'
The shyness of a little girl, with primitive impulses and jealousy towards Lee Boo-jeong, made Lin Shiling bold and proactive.
Li Zhenyu, who felt the response, was also thinking about what reason to find to leave and which room had better sound insulation.
When Li Zhenyu learned that they were talking about children, he knew that he couldn't leave quickly, so he simply helped Li Fuzhen sit down and pulled Lin Shiling to his side.
"It's been three months and the reaction is not very strong. She has the best medical team around her, ensuring the health of Fuzhen and the baby at all times."
Li Zhenyu doesn't need to worry about these things. The secretaries around the two of them will naturally arrange everything and make adequate preparations.
When it comes to the issue of children, the secretaries on both sides have the same idea, with no upper limit.
There is no best, only better. We need to find the best resources and prepare sufficient backup forces to ensure that she is under 24-hour care and that there is always someone to provide her with the best and most professional service.
There was no point in wasting time, so the two backup teams only had to show up for work every day, look at the report, and give a detailed report on her physical condition, and they would be able to get an annual salary of one million dollars.
Li Fuzhen insisted on paying the money herself...
In fact, it was the Shilla Hotel that paid for it. After all, she was pregnant with the future heir of the Sanxin Empire.
Who would disagree with paying for their future emperor? "You should let him pay, it's too cheap for him."
When she found out that she was the one paying the bill, Lim Se-ryung deliberately patted Li Zhenyu in a teasing manner, and even Kim Ji-yeon couldn't stand it when she was flirting with him.
"You two, go to the room now, okay? Come out after you're done. Don't irritate anyone here, especially since one of you is pregnant."
Li Fuzhen nodded in agreement, "That's right, stop provoking me. Don't you know that I'm being disturbed by hormones right now? It's really uncomfortable to want to eat the delicious food but not be able to eat it."
Among the three, Lin Shiling is the one most seriously influenced by traditional ideas.
At this point, she was already unable to raise her head due to the teasing by the two men, but when she thought of Zhenyu's promise and the baby in Fuzhen's belly, she suppressed all her emotions with a strong urge.
Suddenly standing up, Lin Shiling dragged Li Zhenyu, who was still in a daze and surprise, towards the room with a smile on his face, "Sister Shiling, what are you doing?"
"Shut up."
Lin Shiling is too small to be squeezed, and looks just like a newly married young wife.
After the two people disappeared, the bright smile on Kim Ji-yeon's face gradually disappeared. She stood there with her shoulders drooped and a little lost, and her focused gaze became dull and lifeless.
Seeing this, Li Fuzhen stood up and sat next to her, gently holding her hand, "Don't worry, Zhenyu won't reject you."
"Can……"
Kim Ji-yeon is not sure if she can be like them.
After all, their situations are not the same.
Li Fuzhen needs an heir. In the future, this child will most likely not know who his biological father is because it will cause too much trouble.
Li Zhenyu might appear in his life as an 'uncle' or stepfather.
This is to ensure the legitimacy of identity and avoid trouble.
Lin Shiling was chosen as the main wife after discussion. Li Zhenyu did not agree with her, but he never refused.
Therefore, her child is likely to follow the same path as Li Zhenyu.
What do you have, those insignificant industries?
Kim Ji-yeon knew in her heart that this property would never truly belong to her like it did to Lee Boo-jung or Lim Se-ryung.
As early as the moment they met, it was destined that the property under her name would be merged into the name of the world one day in the future.
Because, Kim Ji-yeon has never had 'independence.'
She has been able to hold on until now because of the exchange of interests with Li Zhenyu, and today she relies on his name to curb the Jin family's encroachment and aggression against her.
She does not have the foundation to deal with risks on her own, because her mother's family, who should have been her foundation, is the one who wants to take advantage of her.
Kim Ji-yeon often envies them, especially Lim Se-ryung.
Completely different from his own family, perhaps because there were only two daughters, the Lin family had never had any internal conflicts or struggles.
Their lives were so smooth that even other chaebol daughters were envious.
After the divorce, Lin Shiling turned around and returned to her family to start her own business, and co-hosted the development of the Elephant Group with her sister Lin Xiangmin.
Lin Xiangmin's attitude towards his sister is also very close, without the jealousy and vigilance that spreads like a virus among chaebol families, "Are you coming back to take away everything that belongs to me?"
No, the two sisters are still as close as they were when they were little and ignorant, and they cooperated with each other to save the elephant from danger, and now they have gone to a higher level.
Why can't I be like her or Lee Boo-jeong and have my own world and confidence?
To face the choices and hardships in life with more confidence. (End of this chapter)
