Chapter 785 Just Be Comfortable
Xiao Shiqiu rubbed his brows and said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you about what happened last night. I wanted to tell you today, but I forgot when I got busy."
Xiao Shiru complained in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "Didn't you not go to work today? What were you busy with? You didn't even tell me such a big thing!"
Xiao Shiqiu glanced at me and said calmly, "Mengmeng might be tired. She slept all day today. I'm taking care of her at home."
I secretly complained that if he didn't 'take care' of me, I wouldn't be so tired.
Sister Xiao hesitated for a moment. "This child is so thin, she looks a little weak. No, I have to ask her what's wrong."
I was just about to go over and say a few words, but she hung up. I was a little confused. Didn’t she say she wanted to ask me what was wrong?
I looked up at Xiao Shiqiu, and he said calmly, "She'll probably think that contacting you directly is a better way to express her concern. Asking you in passing doesn't seem sincere enough."
Well, wealthy families are particular about that, although I don’t quite understand it.
Soon I received a message from Xiao Shiru on my phone. I guess she was afraid that I was still sleeping, so she thoughtfully didn’t call me but sent me a message.
[Mengmeng, Xiaoqiu said you slept all day. Can you tell me what happened?]
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even through the screen, I could feel Xiao Shiru's gentle and caring tone, as if she was talking to a child.
I couldn't let my man down, so I quickly replied, "Sister, I'm fine. I was just tired last night and felt a little better, so I had breakfast and went back to sleep."
I sent it out immediately after I finished typing it, and I didn’t even notice that I had omitted the word ‘no’.
After a while, Xiao Shiru sent another message: […As long as you feel comfortable, you can go back to sleep. Smile.jpg]
I was stunned at first, then I realized what was happening and rolled around on the bed in embarrassment.
I don’t know what Sister Xiao is imagining.
I feel ashamed to see her!
I was so angry that I kicked Xiao Shiqiu on the leg, "It's all your fault!"
Then he hurriedly sent a message, [No! I missed the no!]
Xiao Shiqiu was a little confused by my kick. He came over to look at my phone. He was stunned at first, and then he laughed so hard that he fell on my chest and couldn't get up.
After a while, he raised his head and said with an ambiguous smile, "Come on, tell me, how comfortable is it?" As he spoke, his hands began to become dishonest again.
If he succeeds again, I won't be able to get out of bed today.
Fortunately, Xiao Shiru called again. Xiao Shiqiu calmed down a bit and answered the phone. His tone was calm as if nothing had happened. "Sister, what's wrong now?"
"I was just halfway through my sentence, and I almost forgot when you interrupted me. Tell me in detail about He Qingrong and her daughter."
Even though Xiao Shiqiu downplayed what happened last night, Xiao Shiru was still very angry.
"It's like this, why don't you make a public statement?" I heard Xiao Shiru's breathing became uneven due to anger.
"...I originally agreed to wait until Tiantian was better before announcing this, but now that Yuan Youan has made it clear, there's no need for me to wait any longer."
"Hurry up! Make this public, and don't have anything to do with that mother and daughter anymore.
No wonder I always felt that Tiantian wasn't close to us. It turns out she's not from our Xiao family. It's so unlucky that I've raised her for so many years in vain!" Xiao Shiru became more and more angry as she spoke.
Xiao Shiqiu comforted her in a rare and kind voice, "Sister, forget it, it's just a matter of spending some money. Just think of it as spending it to make your uncle happy."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Shiru finally came to her senses. "When are you going to give birth? Don't think I'm nagging. Mengmeng is still young, but you're already quite old. In two years, you might not be able to keep up physically..."
I watched Xiao Shiqiu's face darken, and he said in a calm and unpleasant voice, "Don't rush me, I'm going to give birth right away!" Then he hung up.
I wanted to laugh, but I held it back and pretended to be serious, saying, "Sister, you're such a jerk! We just got engaged last night, and you're trying to get pregnant today! You're really too impatient."
"Then what should we do next..." His eyes narrowed again.
"Let's go eat next," I replied crisply. "If you don't eat, you don't have to ask me if I'm hungry. Just ask if I'm starving."
Eating was the top priority, and I finally went out in the evening.
When we were having dinner in the restaurant, the Xiao family had quickly issued a statement, and Xiao Tiantian's life experience unsurprisingly became a hot topic.
It clearly cancelled all her inheritance rights to the Xiao family's property.
On one side was Yuan Youan's affectionate confession, and on the other side was the Xiao family's public clarification. As the protagonist of this incident, He Qingrong was pushed to the forefront for a while.
Before we finished our meal, Xiao Shiqiu's phone rang, and the caller ID was He Zhiming.
Xiao Shiqiu took a look, frowned and said, "It's Tiantian's grandfather."
He picked up the phone, "Uncle He."
Two seconds later, a sigh came from the other end of the phone, "Shiqiu, you've been calling me dad for more than ten years, and now you're changing your words.
Well, whatever, the relationship between us for more than ten years can't be wiped out with just a name, don't you think? "
Xiao Shiqiu remained silent. Seeing that he didn't respond, the other party paused and continued, "Are you free tomorrow night? Come over to my house for a simple meal. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Xiao Shiqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to arrange it. But first, I have to explain that I just got engaged. In order to prevent my fiancée from thinking too much, I will bring her along. Do you mind?"
The other party obviously didn't expect Xiao Shiqiu to say that. He smiled bitterly and said, "The wife you choose is really different. Okay, then you can take her with you."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shiqiu smiled with an ambiguous tone: "The He family can't sit still anymore."
I bit the straw and asked curiously, "What is the He family trying to do? Don't they want Xiao Tiantian... no, Yuan Tiantian to continue to be a member of the Xiao family?"
Xiao Shiqiu ate slowly while saying, "What they're most worried about right now is probably Yuan Youan using Tiantian to get close to the He family."
According to Xiao Shiqiu, He Zhiming still had some affection for his daughter He Qingrong, and he knew very well that once he passed away, his two sons would not be able to treat this illegitimate daughter well.
Back then, Mr. He agreed to let He Qingrong marry him, on the condition that the family wealth could only be inherited by the children born to his first wife.
So when He Qingrong's mother deliberately and even used all means to marry her into the Xiao family, he supported her.
But he might really not know that his daughter was not pregnant with the Xiao family's child.
I originally thought that if He Qingrong gave birth to a daughter for the Xiao family, she would inherit some property, and her daughter and granddaughter would be able to live a life of ease and comfort for the rest of their lives.
As a result of this situation, He Zhiming had to worry about how his daughter, who had lived a life of luxury and never worked, would spend the rest of her life.
