Chapter 195 In the blink of an eye... my darling daughter is going to be a mother!
Seeing the happiness radiating from her daughter's face, Qin's mother felt gratified. "As long as she's happy."
She carefully touched Qin Shuzhi's belly as well, then looked at Qin Shuzhi with deep emotion.
"Time flies. It feels like just yesterday that you were toddling around, tugging at my clothes and calling me 'Mama.' In the blink of an eye... my sweet daughter is going to be a mother."
“Yes.” Qin Shuzhi smiled and winked at her. “My mother became a grandmother when she was in the prime of her life.”
Sure enough, the next second, Qin's mother was amused and smiled broadly.
After a few lighthearted words between mother and daughter, Qin's mother returned to the main topic, carefully and earnestly instructing her on things to pay attention to during early pregnancy.
Qin's mother stayed in the room for a while, originally having endless things to say to her daughter, but thinking that the old lady was also there, she must also want to say something to her granddaughter-in-law, so she took the initiative to go out and invite her into the room, and then she went out herself.
"grandmother."
Qin Shuzhi got up to help the old lady to sit on the sofa, but the old lady helped her sit down first, as if afraid that she would bump into something.
After the two sat down, the old lady held Qin Shuzhi's hand and said with heartache, "Child, you must have been frightened today."
"No."
Qin Shuzhi shook her head. "I know Yuanxing will definitely come to save me, so I'm not afraid."
The old lady patted the back of her hand and praised, "Our Shuzhi is brave."
After saying that, her gaze fell on her belly again, and she said with a smile, "That kid Yuanxing told me in a cocky way that I would definitely be able to hold my great-grandson next year. I didn't believe it at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true."
According to her, Qin Shuzhi was pregnant with her first child, so it would be safer for her to return to the Shi Mansion to rest and prepare for the pregnancy. However, Shi Yuanxing refused, saying that he would take good care of his wife.
Actually, the old lady understood that her grandson was simply worried that his wife wouldn't feel comfortable living in the old house.
"Shuzhi, I have a manor in the suburbs of Nanyue Ridge. It's a quiet place with beautiful scenery, perfect for a vacation. You're on summer vacation now, so you have time to go there to rest during your pregnancy or have some fun."
A manor in Nanyue Ridge?
There are only two manors in the entire Nanyue Ridge. These manors are not something that money can buy; they are centuries-old family businesses and symbols of noble status.
One of them is under Madam Shi's name and is her personal property.
It is said that the scenery of Nanyue Ridge is the best in Jiangcheng, but without the invitation of the manor owner, outsiders cannot enter to see it.
Qin Shuzhi was genuinely tempted. "Grandma, can I go there for a few days?"
"Of course, you can stay there for as many days as you like, however long you want," the old lady told her. "I'll have the estate transferred to your name tomorrow, and you'll be the owner of the estate from then on."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi looked astonished and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, no, Grandma, this is the property left to you by your maternal family, I can't accept it."
She was perfectly content to spend a day or two traveling thanks to the old man's connections.
“I’m just an old woman, and I’m used to living in the Shi Mansion. It’s no use to me there. It’s time for the manor to have a new owner.”
Qin Shuzhi dared not accept such a generous gift.
"Grandma, even if you're going to pass it on, it should be to Dad, or my sister and Yuanxing. This, this can't be me."
Why can't it be you?
The old lady held her hand and said domineeringly, "This is my own private property, not the Shi family's. Whoever I say I'll pass it on to, that's who it is."
"But……"
"Grandma is giving it to you, so just accept it without worry. Actually, I've been planning to give this business to you for a long time."
Madam Shi looked at her with a smile, "I told you before, you are the lucky star of our family. Look, you have only been in the Shi family for a year, and Yuanxing and his sister have reconciled. Even your workaholic father-in-law, who has been stubborn for decades, has been able to unload his burdens and obsessions. Now I have a great-grandson, hehe... Our Shi family is becoming more and more harmonious and happy."
In the end, the old lady had no choice but to give the gift to her granddaughter-in-law, and made a special statement that it was for her personally, not for her unborn great-grandson.
When her great-grandson is born, she, as the great-grandmother, will prepare a separate gift.
Qin Shuzhi is now the darling of both the Shi and Qin families. Not only did her father and Qin Zhiheng rush over to see her after finishing their business, but even Shi Hongzhen, who is far away abroad, made a special call to greet her.
afternoon.
Not long after Grandma and the Qin family returned home, Shi Qingman also came to visit with gifts.
Shi Yuanxing and Qin Shuzhi were both somewhat surprised by her arrival.
After regaining her senses, Qin Shuzhi warmly welcomed them into the house. With her mediating between them, the siblings, who had been somewhat awkward at first, relaxed.
During this time, Shi Yuan went to cut some fruit and invited Shi Qingman to eat. Then he sat down next to Qin Shuzhi and naturally and skillfully used a small fork to feed Qin Shuzhi apples.
As Shi Qingman watched his actions, she inexplicably thought of Qiao Wenbo, who had once taken good care of her.
They were once in love.
It's just a pity... that they couldn't make it to the end.
In the end, her relationship with Qiao Wenbo ended with them going their separate ways.
A few days ago, Qiao Wenbo's verdict was handed down. He was convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
After the verdict was handed down, Shi Qingman visited him. The two were no longer lovers, but they still chatted calmly for a while.
Shi Qingman hoped that he would repent and start anew.
Qiao Wenbo wished her to find a good partner and have success in both her career and love life.
Qin Shuzhi ate the food Shi Yuanxing offered her, and when she looked up, she saw Shi Qingman looking dejected. The quick-witted girl quickly nudged Shi Yuanxing away with her elbow, making him sit further away.
Worried that Shi Qingman would be saddened by the thought of her recently miscarried fetus, Shi Yuanxing and his wife avoided discussing the pregnancy.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, Shi Qingman took the initiative to tell Qin Shuzhi to take care of her health and have a good pregnancy.
She concluded by saying to Qin Shuzhi, "Grandma is right. The Shi Group is a family business, belonging to our whole family, not just one person. I'm temporarily managing the company now, and I don't care if you go out and make your own way in the world, but..."
She glanced at Qin Shuzhi's belly and said, "Our Shi family's descendants, whether boys or girls, will all take over the family business in the future."
She was telling Qin Shuzhi that even though she was in charge of the Shi Group now, and even though Shi Yuanxing would no longer manage the group's affairs, their children would still have the right to inherit the company in the future.
Regardless of whether she is carrying a boy or a girl, she is the future successor of the Shi Group.
