Chapter 222 Heard it, remembered it.
After finishing his speech, Old Master Shen lost his appetite and got up from the table, leaning on his cane.
A once happy family has now fallen apart like this.
The old man's departing figure stretched long on the ground.
She looks somewhat lonely.
Because of what Grandpa Shen said, Shen Bingwei's family looked at the table full of meat dishes but didn't pick up their chopsticks for a while.
Shen Pianran's mind was no longer on the dinner table; at this moment, she looked somewhat lost and bewildered.
Something's wrong, nothing's right!
How could Jiang Ning possibly be invited to teach at the Capital University?
She was just a country girl!
As Shen Pianran thought about how Jiang Ning was now both the chief physician of the 615 Military Hospital and a teacher at Capital University, her fingernails dug into her flesh.
She didn't want to admit it, but her grandfather had no reason to lie.
Shen Pianran's jealousy of Jiang Ning's path gradually led her to a point where she could look up to her.
Shen Bingwei, however, was distracted, trying to guess what Old Master Shen was thinking.
He was naturally happy to see his elder brother's family in such a mess.
The eldest brother's temper is exactly the same as the old man's; a head-on clash will only result in mutual destruction.
But he never expected that even after things had escalated to such a point, his elder brother's family would still produce someone who could persuade the old man to back down first.
This doesn't align with his plan. If either the old man or his elder brother had shown weakness first, this huge incident could have been easily forgotten.
Now that this matter is over, how can he obtain his sole share of the property?

Jiang Ning was unaware of these matters concerning the Shen family.
She didn't care.
Time flew by and it was already September 10th.
Jiang Ning's baby is three months along. Thanks to Shen Mo's balanced diet of meat and vegetables, she has become much plumper, and her belly has grown quite large.
As for whether it's a boy or a girl, Jiang Ning already knows in advance. She also has another surprise in mind, which she plans to tell her husband, Lao Shen, when she gives birth.
Jiang Ning has been preparing for her lecture at Capital Medical University for the past few days.
Principal Lin asked her to give a lecture at the school on the 15th, as it is currently the start of the school year and school affairs are quite complicated.
Principal Lin was worried about upsetting the pregnant Jiang Ning, so he thought he would let Jiang Ning give a lecture to the medical students after the school was less chaotic.
Jiang Ning has been preparing her speech, materials, and speaking outline for the past few days.
Jiang Ning was writing something with a pen, while Shen Mo sat behind her with a dry towel, drying her hair.
Shen Mo noticed that his wife's three-month belly was getting bigger, and bending over was becoming less convenient.
Today, Jiang Ning suddenly wanted to wash her hair, so Shen Mo got her a bench to lie on while he washed it for her.
She had just finished washing her hair, and Shen Mo was drying it for her.
Shen's mother had said that pregnant women are always a little weaker than when they are not pregnant, and that he should be careful in everything he does.
Shen Mo naturally listened and kept it in mind.
Shen Mo gently dried Jiang Ning's hair. Once it was completely dry, Shen Mo noticed that it was getting late.
Just then, Jiang Ning yawned, and Shen Mo coughed lightly to remind her, "Wife, we can do the rest tomorrow."
Jiang Ning didn't argue with him. Hearing his reminder, she immediately put down her pen and stretched out her hands.
Shen Mo scooped the person into his arms with a large hand.
Jiang Ning snuggled against her neck.
Shen Mo stiffened for a moment. "Wife, if you rub against me any more, it'll be terrible."
Sensing the obvious change in the man holding her, Jiang Ning suddenly climbed up his neck and whispered something in his ear.
Shen Mo's eyes lit up. "Um, does it really have benefits for your childbirth?"
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "I'm a doctor, don't you believe me?"
After saying that, she suddenly let go of his hand, turned her head and said, "If you don't believe me, then you can keep it to yourself."
Shen Mo tightened his grip on the person in his arms, then said, "You won't let me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ning understood what he meant and coughed lightly, "Now that I have two bodies, of course I can't be as unrestrained as before!"
Shen Mo smiled.
His wife loves to tease him, but he always backs down afterward.
Shen Mo placed Jiang Ning on the inner side of the bed, took a fan from the side, lay down, and kept fanning her.
As September arrived, the weather grew increasingly hot. Jiang Ning was sensitive to the heat and sometimes even woke up from her sleep because of the heat.
Shen Mo would fan her every night until she fell asleep, and he would also wake up several times in the middle of the night to make sure Jiang Ning wasn't too hot.
Jiang Ning felt sorry for him being tired, but Shen Mo seemed to have inexhaustible energy. He trained while taking good care of Jiang Ning, without neglecting either aspect.
The next day, Shen's parents came over.
The two elders brought a large bag of things with them when they arrived.
Shen's mother had always intended to take care of Jiang Ning, but after visiting a few times, she found that her son was taking good care of his daughter-in-law, and she gradually gave up on the idea.
They can still enjoy some time alone now, so she won't bother them. She'll come back to help take care of the baby for a while after the birth.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen put the things in the yard, and Jiang Ning went over to take a look.
Shen's father consciously went into the kitchen.
Since his son set an example, Mr. Shen no longer had the idea of keeping away from the kitchen.
Shen's mother took out the items and showed them to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning saw that most of the items Shen's mother brought were baby supplies.
Clothes, socks, diapers, bibs, etc.—calculating the time, the baby should be born when it's neither too hot nor too cold, so the mother prepared spring clothes.
Chen's mother took out the baby clothes and said to Jiang Ning, "I don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, so I bought some in all sorts of colors."
Jiang Ning was immediately shocked when she saw the quantity.
Shen Mu bought far too many.
Chen's mother could tell what she was thinking, and her face crinkled with laughter. She said, "I originally wanted to take you with me to buy things for the baby, but I thought I'd just buy a little bit first. Before I knew it, I had bought more."
When Ms. Chen strolled through the baby products section, she couldn't resist making a purchase just thinking about her beautiful baby.
The two elders, on the other hand, didn't care about the money at all.
After looking at the baby's things, Shen's mother took out the clothes she had bought for Jiang Ning.
As her daughter-in-law's pregnancy progresses, her clothes need to be prepared. She won't forget about her daughter-in-law while thinking about her precious grandson.
