Chapter 275 Do you like children?
The polite and courteous attitude made Zhong Shaoqing stop talking.
"Are you feeling better?" He remembered that she had stomach problems a while ago.
Tan Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded gently: "Much better."
"Brother, Sister Qinghuan, what are you doing? Come in!" Ye Jinmo stood at the door of the villa and waved at them.
Tan Qinghuan glanced at Zhong Shaoqing and said, "Let's go."
Several people sat down in the living room.
Mr. Tan sat in the main seat, and Tan Mingzhu smiled and invited them to eat fruit.
"Don't be polite, just like coming to your own home." Mr. Tan was in a good mood. With so many children coming, the atmosphere was very lively.
Old people just like to be in a lively environment.
"Thank you, Grandpa Tan. By the way, Sister Qinghuan," Qian Tengyue grabbed an apple and stuffed it into his mouth, "Have you been feeling unwell these days? You haven't been to school for a long time."
"Nothing, I just caught a cold and wanted to rest for a while." Tan Qinghuan lowered his eyes and deliberately avoided Zhong Shaoqing.
Ye Jinmo caught her little movements and felt suspicious.
"Cold?" Qian Tengyue was anxious. "Is it serious? Sister Jinmo also caught a cold and has been resting for a week. It seems that my body is still good and I am not afraid of cold or hot weather. Fatty is awesome!"
Several people were amused by him.
Ye Jinmo covered her mouth and laughed, "I don't know who insisted on learning how to lose weight from me before, but I didn't lose any weight, I gained five kilograms."
"Oh, let's not talk about the past. I've figured it out. I must have starved to death in my previous life. So in this life, I hope I can be reborn into a good family and not starve."
A few words to stir up the atmosphere.
After a lively conversation, the group dispersed to play in the manor. Ye Jinmo had been to the Tan family several times, but she left in a hurry every time. This was her first time to visit.
The Tan family's residence is not as grand as the Ji family's, but it has a bit of the beauty of a southern water town.
House buildings, pavilions and towers pay more attention to exquisiteness and detail.
I heard that after Tan Mingzhu returned home, Mr. Tan renovated it according to the preferences of his daughter and granddaughter.
Qian Tengyue took Tan Mingzhu to the backyard to pick fruit.
Ye Jinmo and Mr. Tan were drinking tea in the pavilion.
The weather in March is warm and flowers are blooming, and the yard is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
"Jinmo girl, this is the peach blossom tea made by your Aunt Tan. Try it."
Ye Jinmo picked up the teacup and took small sips. The floral fragrance filled the air, with a fresh sweetness that was not greasy and very refreshing.
“Delicious!”
"I heard that the kid from the Ji family is in trouble."
She lowered her eyes and said, "Yes."
"Girl, don't worry too much. That guy is not as simple as you think. Although human life is precious, it is basically a fantasy to bring down the core figures of the entire group because of an engineering accident."
She understood what he meant, but she was still worried: "My eldest brother told me that the top management of Ji family is now impeaching the president."
"I went to Ji's the day before yesterday and saw that Brother Chen was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat."
Elder Tan waved his hand and smiled even more: "I know you are worried about him. That kid has been in office for five years, right? He was eighteen years old back then. The Ji family was in chaos, but he was able to suppress it, let alone now."
Ye Jinmo also breathed a sigh of relief: "Now the family members are holding on and refusing to let go. I went to see the body, but time was tight and the family members prevented me from going. I always felt that there was something wrong with the body."
"If you need help, I know a few experienced forensic pathologists."

On the other side, under the peach tree.
Tan Qinghuan sat on a stone bench with a cup of hot tea in his hand.
Zhong Shaoqing felt a little uncomfortable sitting opposite her.
The two were silent, and only the birds' happy fluttering could be heard.
She was a little confused, wondering how to tell the person that she was pregnant.
She actually wanted to keep the baby.
She coughed lightly and started talking: "I was in the hospital with Jinmo a few days ago and saw so many children getting sick. It was really pitiful."
After saying this, she wanted to bite off her tongue. What a weird topic!
Zhong Shaoqing nodded: "Jinmo came back and told me that some parents are cruel and abandon their children in the hospital. Zhong Sheng has a charity foundation under his name that will provide help to these children."
"Do you like children?"
He was confused by the sudden question, and an idea came to his mind, and he slowly moved his eyes to her belly.
"Qing Huan, you can't be..."
"Don't think too much about it," she almost blurted out, her heart pounding, "We've been running between the pediatrics and obstetrics departments recently, and it's come to that, I'm just asking casually."
She was still not reassured and continued, "This is also a question in our survey questionnaire. Professor Xie said that we should add the current young people's attitudes and views on childbirth into the report."
"So that's how it is," Zhong Shaoqing thought for a few seconds, his voice neither hurried nor slow, "I can't say I like him that much. You know, we wealthy families never lack children. Children from ordinary families grow up happily and live a plain life. We have many children, and they have been fighting for power since they were young. We fight to the death every day. There is no friendship at all."
He fought his way through the Zhong family's descendants and understood the darkness beneath the seemingly glorious surface.
Living in such a depressing environment since childhood, where one could lose one's life if one is not careful, what is the meaning of having the best clothes and delicious food?
You never know when the feast will come!
He was thinking about himself and didn't notice that Tan Qinghuan's face darkened.
Her fingers curled up little by little, and sadness and grievance surged in her heart.
Perhaps because of her mood swings during pregnancy, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
He doesn't like children, so there's no need to tell him about her pregnancy...!
"Sister Qinghuan, look at the peaches we picked!" Qian Tengyue trotted over with a bag of peaches wrapped in a sweatshirt.
Following behind were Tan Mingzhu and Ye Jinmo.
"Modern technology is amazing. It's only March and there are already peaches in the greenhouse that can be eaten. Eating peaches and appreciating peach blossoms is finally possible!"
Qian Tengyue poured the peaches onto the stone table.
Ye Jinmo walked over and sat next to Tan Qinghuan, holding her hand: "Sister Qinghuan, we haven't seen you for several days, we all miss you!"
She calmly felt Tan Qinghuan's pulse.
His eyebrows jumped.
This pregnancy seems very stable, and it seems... to be a daughter.
I don’t know which guy is so lucky to have a good wife like Sister Qinghuan in the future.
She looked at her elder brother with resentment.
I just hate that he is a piece of wood.
They have known each other for so long, why doesn't he pursue Tan Qinghuan?
Ye Jinmo looked up at the sky in silence. She had originally thought that Tan Qinghuan could be her sister-in-law, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.
"By the way, Sister Jinmo, I heard that Brother Ji is in trouble recently. Can we help him?"
Her thoughts were pulled back, and she said with a serious face: "I want to examine the body of the deceased now, but the family members are watching too closely. It would be better if the family members could be moved away."
Zhong Shaoqing's heart skipped a beat: "Jinmo, don't get involved in this matter..."
He thought that Ji Sichen didn't want her to participate either.
Qian Tengyue slammed the table and said, "Sister Jinmo, why didn't you tell me earlier? Isn't it just a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain? If we work together, I don't believe there is anything we can't accomplish!"
