One week later.
In the morning, at the Gu family villa, in the walk-in closet on the third floor.
"Miss Chen, are you sure you want to sell all of these?" Cai Yanxi, who works in the second-hand luxury goods recycling business, had never seen anyone sell bags like this before in all her years of experience.
Suddenly, she pointed to a row of bags and asked in surprise, "This whole row is limited edition. You can't buy them now no matter how much money you offer. Are you really willing to sell them?"
Although Shen Zhi Qiu had warned her beforehand when she called her, she never expected that a whole roomful of bags would be sold at once, some still in their original packaging, and so many of them were limited editions.
“Yes, sell them all.” Shen Zhi Qiu said with a smile, without a trace of heartache in her eyes.
Cai Yanxi clicked her tongue in amazement. When wealthy families contacted them to sell off large quantities of luxury handbags, it was often because they urgently needed money. Although many of these families were large and wealthy with extensive business empires, appearing glamorous on the surface, they might not have much liquid asset. When something happened, they would sell their valuables, handbags being the most common item. But usually, the woman of the house would still feel the pinch when selling the bags.
Shen Zhi Qiu in front of him looked very calm, not at all like someone who would sell something just because they were short of money.
However, people in their line of work are very tight-lipped; they won't ask questions unless the customer brings it up first.
"Okay, Miss Shen." Cai Yanxi didn't ask any more questions and started opening the toolbox and putting on gloves.
"Zhiqiu." Zhou Xiaoran poked her head in from outside the door. "You're going for your prenatal checkup today, don't forget."
"Okay," Shen Zhi Qiu replied softly. "I've already made an appointment with the doctor, I'll be there in a bit."
"Excuse me, Ms. Cai, I need to go to the hospital. I'll have to trouble you with this." Shen Zhi Qiu said apologetically. "If there are any problems, please just tell my friend."
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy." As she spoke, Miss Cai glanced at Shen Zhi Qiu's slightly protruding belly.
At the hospital.
Shen Zhi Qiu pushed open the door to the department and greeted the doctor softly.
"Hello, Dr. Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Jiang looked up at Shen Zhi Qiu with a smile and said, "Come in and sit down."
After Shen Zhi Qiu sat down, Dr. Jiang carefully examined her and said with a smile, "Why haven't you come for so long? I saw that the test report you sent me was from a prenatal checkup in Rongcheng. Have you been there recently?"
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded, her expression slightly forlorn.
Dr. Jiang recalled what Shen Zhi Qiu had told her earlier and couldn't help but feel moved. She placed her fingers interlaced on the table and said gently, "It's alright, it doesn't matter where you have it done. I see the test results are all fine. Generally, we advise pregnant women to have regular checkups at the same hospital during the early to mid-stages of pregnancy. This allows for the establishment of a comprehensive health record, and the doctor can have a complete understanding of the baby's development. This ensures that if any problems arise, the doctor will have a timely understanding of the pregnant woman's condition."
However, some pregnant women may have to travel to different cities for work or family reasons, and thus have to undergo examinations at different hospitals, which is unavoidable.
This will make things more difficult for you. If you go to different hospitals and some test results are missed, you'll have to redo many of the tests before delivery.
"Mm," Shen Zhi Qiu responded softly, "Thank you for your concern, Dr. Jiang."
"The baby is 16 weeks along and has stabilized. During this period, the baby's growth rate will increase rapidly, so make sure to ensure adequate nutrition, including vegetables and meat. Fruits are high in sugar, so eat them in moderation. You should also try to get plenty of rest and avoid overexerting yourself."
"You'll need to go for an ultrasound first to check the baby's growth and to see if the umbilical cord, placenta, etc., are normal. If everything is normal, you'll also need to do a Down syndrome screening. The results will be available today, so we can do them together; I've already arranged everything."
As Shen Zhi Qiu listened to the doctor's words, she couldn't help but feel nervous, and her fingers unconsciously curled up.
"Don't worry, your baby will definitely be fine," Dr. Jiang comforted Shen Zhi Qiu with a smile, her attitude very gentle.
"Next time you come, you'll need a 4D ultrasound." Worried that Shen Zhi Qiu might not understand, Dr. Jiang continued, "A 4D ultrasound can monitor the baby's development in real time, clearly showing the fetus's facial features, and accurately observing the development of the fetus's head and spine..."
Shen Zhi Qiu listened attentively, taking notes on the important parts.
In the afternoon, Shen Zhi Qiu was a little uneasy when she received the test report, but she breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor tell her that everything was fine.
She had just finished packing up her reports and was leaving the hospital to go home when she received a call from Gu Qingyan.
"Hello." Shen Zhi Qiu didn't want to talk to him, but Gu Qing Yan had been staying by her grandfather's bedside for the past week, and when he called her, he was mostly talking about the development of her grandfather's condition. She was worried that something might happen to her grandfather, so she answered the phone.
“Grandpa is in better spirits today. The doctor said he can be discharged in a few days and he just needs to rest well at home. I will arrange for the family doctor to come for follow-up examinations, so that the parts that do not require machine examinations can be done at home. This will also save the old man from having to go through all that trouble.”
Gu Qingyan got straight to the point about her grandfather's illness, afraid that if she said even a single extra word about her private matters, Shen Zhi Qiu would hang up on her immediately.
"Okay, then I'll go see Grandpa after he gets home." Shen Zhi Qiu's heart finally settled down.
"Yes, Grandpa said the same thing. There are a lot of germs in hospitals, and you should avoid places like that while you're pregnant. I'll pick you up then, and we'll go to Grandpa's place together," Gu Qingyan said to herself.
"No need, I can go by myself." Shen Zhi Qiu refused him directly. Then she said with displeasure, "Now that Grandpa's situation has improved, you should quickly arrange for someone to come and take Xiao Wan Qing away. I don't want her staying in my house. Even though I can't see her, I feel uncomfortable and don't like it."
"Okay." Gu Qingyan replied softly, "I'll have Huang Lin go over today. Also, the house transfer procedures have been completed by Attorney Liu; he expedited the process. Huang Lin will bring the notarized documents and other paperwork with you when he goes."
"I understand," Shen Zhi Qiu said calmly.
"Zhiqiu, can I still live at home in the future? Although the house is already in your name, we are still legally married. You wouldn't stop me from going home as soon as you get the documents, would you? I don't think you would be so heartless, would you?"
"Zhi Qiu, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Um?"
