"What?"
Jiang Yue asked.
Pei Huai said, "I want to be your partner, just like Lu Yan."
After saying that, perhaps fearing that Jiang Yue would refuse, Pei Huai continued, "You can first listen to me tell you about the benefits that making me your partner will bring you."
"First of all, I have money and enough connections in the Kyoto business world. Although you have the Lu family behind you, the Lu family doesn't have many business people, so they may not be able to do well in the business world."
"With me around, things are different. I can help you make any business you want to start a success."
It's not that Pei Huai is bragging, but in the business world of Kyoto, everyone has to give him face.
Jiang Yue looked at him without saying anything.
Pei Huai remained calm. "I know you have other partners. I'm not in a hurry. You can go back and discuss it with them first."
You can give me your answer after this collaboration is completed.
After finishing that matter, Pei Huai changed the subject and continued to discuss the cooperation with Jiang Yue, asking about some details, which Jiang Yue answered seriously.
After finishing their business and finishing their meal, Jiang Yue and Lu Yan went home first.
When Jiang Yue got home, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
The kitchen helper was already waiting for her. Jiang Yue rested for a few minutes and then went to the kitchen to cook for Dongdong.
Tonight, she cooked a simple meal: fried rice with eggs, baked a chicken leg for Dongdong, and made a soup.
This is enough for Dongdong to eat.
After finishing dinner, Jiang Yue ate something simple, drank a glass of milk, and then went upstairs to rest.
Back in her room, Jiang Yue opened her notebook, crossed out a line on the calendar, and then took out Lu Jingnian's photo to look at.
She really missed Lu Jingnian and wondered when he would be able to come back.
After looking at Lu Jingnian's photo for a while, Jiang Yue put it away and then began working on her collaboration with Pei Huai.
Jiang Yue had already decided what to do with the land. If she were to bid for the land, the rest could be left to Shen Huaiyuan.
But now that she's working with Pei Huai, some things need to be changed. Jiang Yue rubbed her face; she'd be busy again for a while.
Because she was going to work with Pei Huai, Jiang Yue met with him almost every day for a while. To avoid suspicion, Jiang Yue would bring Lu Yan with her every time she went to see Pei Huai. If Lu Yan was unavailable, she would bring someone else.
After nearly a month, Jiang Yue and Pei Huai finally finalized the cooperation plan and made arrangements for the follow-up work.
Once these things were done, Jiang Yue could hand over the rest to Shen Huaiyuan.
Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her due date is in a little over a month. Jiang Yue doesn't plan to keep herself so busy anymore. She needs to rest well during this time to prepare for her due date.
After all, her situation is special, and we don't know what dangers she might encounter during childbirth.
Another month passed, and Shen Huaiyuan finished his business in City A and came to Kyoto.
Meanwhile, Lu Yan's crew had already started filming smoothly, and Lu Qingya had packed her things before filming began and moved to the hotel arranged by the crew.
She would call Jiang Yue every day to share the interesting things that happened during filming.
In the past two months, Jiang Yue has also donated primary schools to several mountainous areas and built roads and bridges for them.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
The only regret is that Lu Jingnian has not returned yet, and there has been no news of him.
June arrived in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yue is over eight months pregnant, and now her feet and legs are swollen, making it difficult for her to walk.
After her body started to swell, Jiang Yue rarely went out and stayed home to rest and prepare for childbirth.
Because of her physical limitations, the meals she prepared for Dongdong became much simpler.
However, the only thing that made Jiang Yue happy was that, according to Pei Huai, Dongdong had gained a lot of weight after being fed by her for some time, and now looked almost no different from a normal, healthy child.
Moreover, Dongdong will now eat a few bites of the dishes that Jiang Yue has the kitchen helpers make for her. Although they are not as delicious as Jiang Yue's, Dongdong does not vomit after eating them.
Jiang Yue and Pei Huai were relieved. As long as Dongdong could start eating food made by others, it didn't matter if he ate less. At least he wouldn't go hungry while Jiang Yue was giving birth.
Jiang Yue's due date was at the end of July, but the doctor said she was carrying twins and might give birth earlier than the due date.
It's already mid-June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu have been discussing taking Jiang Yue to a summer resort in H City to recuperate after she gives birth.
The hot weather makes postpartum confinement a painful experience for new mothers.
The Summer Palace is located in the mountains, with a good environment and a lower temperature. It's neither too hot nor too cold in August, which is perfect for postpartum confinement.
Mr. Lu has already made all the arrangements.
Jiang Yue didn't want to be drenched in sweat every day during her postpartum confinement and couldn't even use a fan, so she had no objection to the arrangements made by Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
Another month passed, and when all the procedures for the land in Kyoto were completed and construction could finally begin, Old Man Chen, who had been gone for nearly half a year, finally returned.
He came directly to Kyoto.
Jiang Yue took a nap and when she woke up, she saw her master.
"Master, you're back?"
Jiang Yue was overjoyed to see Old Man Chen. "You're back! Why didn't you call me?"
Old Chen chuckled and said, "Why would I call you if you're sleeping? Anyway, I'm back now. Whether you see me a little earlier or a little later makes no difference."
Jiang Yue's due date is in just over ten days, and during this time, Madam Lu has stopped going anywhere and stays at home with Jiang Yue every day.
Even Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu moved here to take better care of Jiang Yue.
"But I want to see you sooner."
Jiang Yue acted coquettishly.
Old Chen chuckled and gave a soft snort, "Why did you want to see me sooner?"
Are you trying to bother me again?
Jiang Yue: "...When did I ever bother you, sir?"
"Still saying you didn't?" Old Chen asked. "Then explain to your master that when I left, I gave you two talismans and told you to contact me, but you contacted me almost every day afterward. What's going on?"
"That talisman?"
Jiang Yue smiled, "I can draw it after seeing it once. Master, did all the talismans I drew later really connect to you?"
Jiang Yue had drawn the talisman herself, but she wasn't sure if she had actually made contact with Old Man Chen.
"If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't be asking you now."
As he spoke, Old Man Chen tapped Jiang Yue on the head.
"Tell me in detail, has that freak been bothering you again lately?"
Jiang Yue hasn't contacted him recently, and Old Man Chen doesn't know if that bastard is still harassing Jiang Yue.
