Chapter 1049 Having a daughter-in-law, I forgot about my son
"Maybe we can't keep them?"
It took Zhong Man a long time to come back to her senses. She closed the bathroom door very quietly.
"Um."
Pei Jinwu leaned against the wall, looking down at her flat stomach. "The blood test results aren't very good. I hope they'll be strong enough and double their blood sugar in a week."
"You were afraid you wouldn't be able to keep her, so you didn't tell Shi Yan?" Zhong Man stepped forward, took Pei Jinwu's hand, and felt heartbroken: "Wuwu, you shouldn't have to bear such a big burden alone."
“I’ve been too busy lately,” Pei Jinwu explained patiently. “The SR project needs to be delivered, and the consortium also has international cooperation to negotiate.”
If Shang Shiyan found out she was pregnant at this point, the pregnancy might not be sustainable...
I'll definitely have to distract myself from her again.
She is knowledgeable in medicine, understands her own physical condition, and knows how to take care of herself.
“But you…” Zhong Man was still worried.
"It's alright, Mom." Pei Jinwu forced a smile and said, "I've been taking medication to prevent miscarriage recently, so we can only wait and see what happens."
"Why."
Zhong Man's joy vanished, and she said dejectedly, "The child is secondary; the most important thing is not to affect your health."
Between her child and her daughter-in-law, she would definitely choose Wuwu without hesitation.
"I know what I'm doing." Pei Jinwu held Zhong Man's hand, her voice soft and sweet. "Mom, please keep it a secret for me, okay?"
"good."
She stared at him with that pitiful look, and Zhong Man couldn't possibly resist.
"Take good rest these days. If you have any problems, be sure to let me know."
Zhong Man repeatedly urged, "Wuwu, your health is the most important thing, you know?"
"Uh-huh."
Pei Jinwu nodded gently and followed Zhong Man to the living room.
Shang Shiyan came out of Shang Hechuan's study and was looking for someone.
I saw him.
Zhong Man's face immediately fell, and she let out a cold snort.
"?"
Shang Shiyan was completely bewildered by the sneer. What had he done wrong?
"Sit down quickly." Remembering that Pei Jinwu couldn't stand for long, Zhong Man quickly helped her sit down.
"What are you still standing there for? Get Wuwu a cushion!"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan frowned, wondering how he had offended Ms. Zhong Man, and obediently did his work.
"Sweetie, sit down for a bit, Mommy will make something light."
Zhong Man took the chicken soup away, and halfway there, she glared at Shang Shiyan fiercely.
Shang Shiyan: "???"
"What just happened?" Shang Shiyan adjusted Pei Jinwu's pillow and asked with a frown, "She glared at me ten times in two minutes."
It's as if he's committed some unforgivable mistake.
"Nothing happened." Pei Jinwu drank her water, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"So Ms. Zhong Man simply doesn't like me?"
Shang Shiyan smiled innocently.
Every time he sees his daughter-in-law, his mouth practically stretches to the back of his head in a wide grin.
This is a classic case of someone who has a daughter-in-law but has forgotten about their son.
——
I'm home.
Pei Jinwu just received the medicine sent by the Medical Research Institute.
The head chef asked her, "These medicines are for preventing miscarriage. Who are they for?"
There shouldn't be any pregnant people around her.
"Oh my god! You're not pregnant, are you?!"
"Never mind that," Pei Jinwu said hoarsely as she flipped through the box. "Which one has the mildest side effects and the best results?"
"White box."
The master chef sat in a rocking chair, legs crossed, puffing on his cigarette to calm himself: "Latest research, made entirely of traditional Chinese medicine, with no side effects. The only downside is that it's taken sublingually and is extremely bitter."
bitter?
Pei Jinwu is someone who loves sweets and can't stand any bitterness.
A moment of silence.
She still took out the pill and placed it under her tongue.
The intense bitterness immediately spread across the tip of the tongue, reaching all the way to the top of the head.
When Shang Shiyan came out of the shower, she had already taken her medicine and was drinking water from a cup.
"Drinking water before bed?"
Shang Shiyan lifted the covers and lay down beside her, asking curiously, "When did you develop this habit?"
"just."
Pei Jinwu didn't hide anything, snuggling into his arms and yawning, "Sleepy."
Shang Shiyan turned off the desk lamp and pulled the person into his arms: "We're going to test the SR project tomorrow, are you nervous?"
"nervous?"
Pei Jinwu snuggled into his arms, rubbing against his broad chest: "I guess it's more about the excitement."
"Um."
Shang Shiyan agreed with this statement and placed a kiss on her forehead: "Sleep well, little one."
——
Security Bureau.
Pei Jinwu, Shang Shiyan, and Professor Tong arrived on time.
Two years of hard work have finally paid off.
“Once the SR project is launched, it will inevitably be attacked.”
"That's what the person in charge said."
People outside also want to probe the depths of China.
If it is easily breached...
The consequences would be unimaginable.
——
at the same time.
In a basement in Beijing, a bearded foreign man is skillfully operating a computer.
"Whether there are any problems or not, we'll find out soon enough."
"Of course not."
Xiao Zuo was full of confidence. He had worked on the SR project and could tell that Lu Jinglan had provided him with top-tier, core materials.
not to mention--
He had leverage over him and dared not do nothing.
"If we succeed, Mr. Zuo, you will have made a great contribution." The man smiled.
Money, power, and influence.
You will have it all.
No more struggling at the bottom of society in China, they can rise to the top in one leap.
Just thinking about it made Xiao Zuo's heart surge with excitement.
"SR's defense system is online." The foreign man immediately focused his attention.
The system he had was modified based on the data provided by Lu Jinglan.
If nothing unexpected happens, they can easily break through the defense system that SR has painstakingly developed over two years.
At the very beginning.
The foreign man operated smoothly, gradually breaking into the other party's system.
In just three minutes, they reached the last layer of defense.
"I told you Lu Jinglan was reliable!" Xiao Zuo exclaimed excitedly after witnessing it firsthand.
It'll be here soon.
His wonderful life is beckoning to him.
"The SR project is nothing special." The foreign man smiled confidently, his words dripping with sarcasm, "After two years, you've produced something like this? Does China have no usable computer talent left?"
"..."
Xiao Zuo pursed her lips, her mind filled with images of Pei Jinwu and Shang Shiyan.
Why isn't it there?
With these two formidable mountains in place, did he think he could easily break through them if Lu Jinglan hadn't betrayed him?
Don't you have any self-awareness?
The foreigner pounded on his keyboard loudly, babbling and slandering China's computer industry.
As they talked...
His voice suddenly stopped, and then he swore: "Damn it!"
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Zuo snapped out of his daze and immediately went over to take a look, only to find that SR's last layer of defense system had not been breached.
Not only that, the foreigners' system was also attacked.
"Wow!"
The foreigner, who was initially proactive, became reactive and desperately tried to exit the system.
But his computer was like it had crashed; he couldn't operate it at all.
Foreigners could only watch helplessly as their data was copied over by the "other side".
He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.
The foreigner slammed his hand on the table and looked at Xiao Zuo: "What's going on?"
"..."
Xiao Zuo stood there, stunned, even more flustered than the foreigner.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be taken in by Lu Jinglan and Pei Jinwu...
It's a setup!
——
good evening.
