Chapter 181 Chen Yan's Confidante
Xu Qingmin looked at the ultrasound report on his phone. The baby in the picture was tiny and didn't even look human yet.
Life is truly amazing; it starts as a tiny speck and slowly grows into something as big as a crown jewel.
Bai Guanqun, who was standing to the side, looked at his father’s excited expression and curiously leaned closer, but he couldn’t understand what was going on.
"Old Xu, can I go see my mother tomorrow?"
She and Lao Xu arrived in Binzhou City this afternoon, but Lao Xu kept telling her not to go find her mother. If she couldn't see her mother, what was she doing here?
"Let me ask your mother."
Bai Guanqun really wanted to say that she could ask herself.
As a result, they went to make some kind of phone call.
Song Yilin came out of the shower and saw Xu Qingmin's missed call.
I called her back without thinking.
"You called me?"
"Guanqun has also come to Binzhou City. Are you free tomorrow? Guanqun would like to see you."
"It's convenient. You can arrange a place, or you can come to my place."
Tomorrow is Saturday and she doesn't have to work, so she can spend some time with Guanqun.
"Okay, I'll ask Guanqun and get back to you."
Bai Guanqun watched as his father walked over with a beaming smile.
"Guanqun, do you want to go to your mother's house to see her, or do you want to meet her somewhere outside?"
"Can I stay with my mom for two days before going back to Jianghai City?"
Xu Qingmin was thinking that Bai Guanqun would call her mother out.
After all, if he went to Song Yilin's house, it would be inconvenient for him to go inside.
But since the child wanted to live with his mother, he couldn't very well refuse.
"Then I'll take you to your mother's tomorrow, but you can't disturb her rest, and you can't let her hug you too tightly."
"Why?"
She used to hug her mother tightly every time she saw her, so why won't she give her a big hug now? Her mother's new husband is already in jail, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.
"Your mother is pregnant, just two months along, the baby isn't even fully settled yet."
Bai Guanqun stood up abruptly, his eyes wide like saucers, and his voice rose several octaves: "My mother is pregnant?"
She did the math: two months. Wasn't that when she was still with Lao Xu? Could she have a younger brother or sister from the same parents?
She used to not want her mother to have any more children, but if she had children, the chances of Lao Xu and her mother getting back together would be higher.
"Mom is pregnant, will you still get back together with her?"
"Dad has always wanted to be with Mom, but things have been complicated. You'll understand later. It's getting late, so go and get some rest. I'll take you to see your mom first thing tomorrow morning."
Bai Guanqun went back to his room happily.
After receiving Xu Qingmin's message that Guan Qun was coming to her the next day, Song Yilin specifically instructed the nanny to prepare Bai Guan Qun's breakfast and the room for the child.
The auntie exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Song, you have another child?"
"Yes, it's my ex's child, almost 14 years old. She eats the same food as the adults, so there's no need to prepare special food for the child. Also, please get up early tomorrow to ventilate her room."
She always kept a room for Bai Guanqun in this house.
I was thinking that if she could come, I would have a place to stay.
The aunt thought the child she was carrying was Chen Yan's, but she wouldn't bother to explain; now wasn't the time to explain.
If those people at Lijiang Group knew that the child she was carrying wasn't Chen Yan's, they would make a big fuss about it.
The next day, she got up early to check on the breakfast her aunt had prepared, and then made a side dish called "White Crown Group Love" herself.
We arrived just as I sat down in my white coat.
Xu Qingmin brought her here.
Standing at the door, he glanced at her apartment, then at her belly, and nodded, as if to say goodbye to Song Yilin.
She has a housekeeper at home, so it wouldn't be a problem if Xu Qingmin came in.
But she didn't want to take the initiative to invite him.
Xu Qingmin has his principles and won't come in.
The aunt also saw Xu Qingmin and exclaimed, "President Song, your ex-husband is so handsome!"
Bai Guanqun said frankly, "That's right, don't you know whose father he is?"
The aunt was probably wondering why she divorced such an outstanding person and then married someone who couldn't leave, and who was also a law-abiding citizen.
This auntie had a lot of dealings with wealthy people and knew what to say and what not to say, so she quickly suppressed her curiosity.
"Miss, come and have dinner."
Upon seeing so much delicious food, Bai Guanqun immediately sat down at the table: "Thank you, Auntie."
Bai Guanqun could tell very accurately that it was her mother who made it.
The aunt sat down and ate with her.
This aunt was not allowed to sit at the table to eat at other people's homes before.
Every family has its own customs, and some people really don't like having an outsider present when the family is eating together.
The Xu family wouldn't allow it either, but she was the only one living here, and eating alone would be too lonely.
So she asked her aunt to eat with her.
Another point is that, from a human perspective, if the aunt eats with the food, she will be more attentive and the food will be cleaner when she cooks it.
After all, she's pregnant now, so she needs to be extra careful.
Bai Guanqun was a little uncomfortable with her aunt eating with them, but her mother tacitly agreed and didn't say anything.
After finishing his meal, Bai Guanqun stared at her stomach for a long time.
Did your father tell your mother that she's pregnant?
“He said yesterday, ‘Mom, can I listen to your belly? I saw in TV dramas that pregnant women like to listen to their bellies, and I want to hear some sounds.’”
Song Yilin affectionately pinched Bai Guanqun's cheek, then stood up straight, lifted her clothes, and let Guanqun come forward to listen.
Bai Guanqun immediately knelt down to listen.
"Guanqun, why are you kneeling? Squatting won't change anything."
"That makes it seem devout."
"You're not a believer, so why are you so devout?"
Bai Guanqun put his index finger to his lips: "Mom, don't speak, I can't hear anything."
I couldn't hear it anyway.
Fetal heartbeats can only be heard using special instruments.
Bai Guanqun listened for a long time but couldn't hear anything, so he took out his phone and took a selfie.
I also sent one to my dad.
Song Yilin let her make a fuss.
Chen Yan's housekeeper suddenly called her.
Although she didn't live in Chen Yan's house, Chen Yan had used this aunt for many years, and she wouldn't easily fire her.
In addition, Chen Yan's villa needs someone to keep it in order. If no one lives there, it will soon fall into disrepair. He probably doesn't want to see his home in ruins after he gets out of prison.
"What's wrong, Auntie?"
“Madam, there is a young woman who says she is a good friend of Mr. Chen and specifically wants to see you. Please come back.”
Friends?
She must be Chen Yan's confidante.
She knew beforehand that she needed to help Chen Yan deal with his mistresses, so it's not surprising that she's coming to her now.
As long as no one deliberately made her come out to cause trouble at this time, it's fine.
"Guanqun, Mom has to go out for a bit. You can stay home and play for a while."
Bai Guanqun immediately followed up: "Mom, I want to go to that film crew to act."
So, another reason for coming to Binzhou with Xu Qingmin was that this child wanted to film more scenes.
