Xiao Yanqi, who had been overwhelmed by anger, finally regained his senses. He turned on the surveillance camera on his mobile phone and saw Du Yuelin sitting quietly in the living room.
He raised his hand to stop his parents from arguing with her: "Yuelin, did someone tell you something they shouldn't have?"
Du Yuelin understood from his tone that her husband had discovered that she was not injured, so she retracted her pretentious tone.
"I already have some clues about what you've been hiding from me. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I'm going to the hospital to have an abortion right now."
Seeing that the baby in her belly was fine, Xiao's mother's tone softened: "Daughter-in-law, I was just blinded by anger just now, don't take those words to heart.
You stay home and we will be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Du Yuelin's grief lasted for a long time. She sat on the sofa with empty eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
[It's a bit sad. I thought it was a sweet romance novel, but it turned out to be a suspense drama.]
What is this family trying to achieve? They think the first child is so important. It's as if the children born after this young lady are no longer their bloodline.
[So, her husband had been attracted to her since college, but for some reason he couldn't meet her, so he used threats to drive away all her suitors. How cruel.]
[Not only that, I guess the company cooperation was also his instigation. The young lady is really pitiful. She was trapped by others from the beginning to the end.]
[The young lady herself, or more precisely, her child, must have played a significant role in their family.]
Du Yuelin came to her senses and hugged the doll on the sofa, muttering to herself, "What value do I have that would allow them to monitor me since college?
No, judging by their skillful actions, I might have been under their surveillance since I was in high school, or even earlier.
But what is there about me that is worth them spending so much time on it?
If their family just wanted a child, given Xiao Yanqi's background, there would be many people willing to have a child with him.
Even if there is an unexplainable reason why you must have my bloodline, why must you be the first one?"
She was puzzled and could only calm down and look at Su Yan with pleading eyes: "Master, I want to know the truth."
Su Yan confirmed that her body would not be harmed by the shock of the truth before she slowly told the story of the past.
“This matter has to start from the Xiao family’s assets.
Chairman Xiao took advantage of the opportunity of the times to accumulate a lot of resources, and established the Xiao Group with the help of policies.
Perhaps because he had been poor before, he was very cautious about the company's development and carefully considered all cooperation.
Although his meticulous style helped the company avoid many crises, it also affected Xiao's expansion.
Especially since Chairman Xiao took office, he has been deeply influenced by his father and has become more strict in investigating his partners.
Their style of doing things may not have had much impact in the past few decades, but in recent years, various emerging industries and new business models have emerged one after another.
Xiao's complacent company gradually fell behind other companies.
The shrinking of the industry made Xiao's father anxious. Once people lose their composure, they will take the wrong path.
Five years ago, Xiao's father was full of joy to cooperate with a foreign company with promising development prospects, hoping to help the company achieve great strides.
But he was too impatient and didn't realize that the company he was cooperating with was just a smokescreen put up by others.
This collaboration dealt a heavy blow to the company.
Just when he was extremely anxious, someone came to him.
It is said that his misfortunes are all due to the bad luck of the Xiao family. As long as their luck can change, their family will be able to develop again.
Seeing that Chairman Xiao didn't believe it, he changed the layout of the Xiao family's old house.
After a few days, the Xiao family's business really took a turn for the better. A company that had originally looked down on them suddenly extended an olive branch to them.
This funding allowed the precarious Xiao family to regain its footing and also made Chairman Xiao believe the Taoist's words without a doubt.
He found the Taoist priest again and asked him to show him the way.
The Taoist priest, who had received a lot of benefits, pointed out a clear path for him: "If you want the Xiao family to prosper, all you need is a lucky bead."
"Lucky beads? Are they blessed pearls? I'll send someone to collect them now."
The Taoist stopped him: "No."
"The lucky bead I'm talking about isn't a dead object, it's a baby that was just taken out of your belly."
Chairman Xiao was stunned by the Taoist priest's sinister expression. He subconsciously asked, "A living baby?"
The Taoist looked at him with disdain as he was making a fuss: "Of course it has to be alive, the effect won't be good if it's dead.
The principle behind this is easy to explain.
From ancient times to the present, people have regarded newborns as the hope of the future, and they will receive the most sincere blessings from the world.
These pure bodies and unpolluted minds are the cleanest weapons.
When the baby in your belly is full-term, take it out while it's still fresh, refine it into a bead, and bury it in your ancestral home. This will bless your family with prosperity and wealth for generations to come."
The "generations of glory" touched Chairman Xiao's heart. Adhering to the idea that one cannot succeed without being ruthless, he decided to accept the master's guidance.
"Master, does a pregnant woman have any requests?"
"Yes, I will give you a birth chart later, and you can find it according to the instructions above.
Remember, this child must be of your Xiao family's biological blood, and must be the first child of both the man and the woman.
The timing of pregnancy must be after the woman is 22 years old, and the woman must be willing to bear the child.
Let me tell you another trick. The deeper the woman's feelings for the man, the more warmth the child will feel, and the greater his energy will be.
The most important thing is that the baby must be delivered by cesarean section when the pregnant woman is fully awake. Only in this way can he exert his greatest power.
This method places high demands on the pregnant woman's physical condition. If she is not careful, she may die on the operating table.
I've said so much, do you know what to do?"
Chairman Xiao nodded: "I understand. Being able to contribute to the development of the Xiao family is a blessing for her and her son. When the time comes, I will compensate the woman's family and ensure that they do not suffer any loss."
As for his son's wishes, he did not consider it at all. In his heart, the Xiao family is one, and since his son has enjoyed the wealth of the Xiao family, he should pay the price.
“That’s how Chairman Xiao found you according to the address and birth date given by the Taoist priest.
You have been under their surveillance since the first day you entered school, and they were the ones who planned your meeting with your husband.
I've gone through so much trouble just to make you fall in love with him wholeheartedly and nourish the baby in your belly with love.
After the baby is full-term, the Xiao family will take the baby out of your belly.
Then they fabricated the illusion that the operation had failed and both mother and child had died.”
