The doorbell rang rather urgently. Qin Xiaoyu was still in the early stages of her pregnancy and her legs were still agile. Before Zhou Shiling could say anything to her, she had already run to the door and opened it.
Standing at the door were her most missed relatives.
She screamed and threw herself into Little Fish's mother's arms.
"Mom! Dad! What brings you here? Did A Lei send you?"
"Ah Lei? What happened? I'm so worried." Xiao Yu's mother and Fu Yongnian walked in.
"Mom, Dad, you're here." A Lei came downstairs, looking completely unaware of what was happening, which surprised Qin Xiaoyu.
"Fu Di sent us over. He called last night saying something terrible had happened, but he wouldn't say what it was. When we called back, his phone was off. We were so worried we rushed to buy tickets that night!" Fu Yongnian said hurriedly as he sat down on the sofa.
"What could he possibly be up to? He doesn't even know I'm pregnant." Qin Xiaoyu was completely bewildered. What was Fu Di up to? Did he know she was pregnant and want to surprise her parents?
"You're pregnant? Why didn't you tell me!" Little Fish's mother exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this.
"That's right, it's such a big deal. I bet Xiaodi was talking about this. It's alright now, don't worry. Now that you're here, spend some time with your daughter." Fu Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief, wiping his sweat as he comforted his wife. It was clear that the two of them hadn't slept all night and were quite frightened.
When Zhou Xing's mother saw that a distinguished guest had arrived, she hurriedly called Qi Si. Qi Si was quick and efficient; he had the chef prepare some semi-finished products and personally delivered them over.
“My fourth son still loves me the most,” Zhou Xing’s mother said with a smile.
"That's my own mother. If I don't love her, who will?" Qi Si magically produced a small box and handed it to Zhou Xing's mother. "Mom, this is Poria cocos paste. It's freshly made. You can eat it yourself. Don't give it to Xiaoyu."
Zhou Xing's mother agreed and took it.
"You two are always sneaking around, and I, Xiaoyue, have to clean you up. You've been eating delicious food behind my back, haven't you?" Qin Xiaoyu knew what was going on at a glance and said indignantly.
"You're overeating, aren't you? Don't eat too much, it'll be harder to give birth when the baby gets older." Little Fish's mom is such a loving mother, she thinks a lot.
Knowing that Zhou Xing's mother was keeping Qin Xiaoyu in check was for her own good.
This matter really needs Zhou Xing's mother to handle. A Lei says he's in charge, but he's always smuggling behind the scenes. He's easily swayed by Qin Xiaoyu's subtle hints and gives her whatever she wants.
Afterwards, he regretted it and went to Zhou Xing's mother to confess. He even wanted to be scolded, I don't know what he was after.
The whole family came over at noon for a reunion dinner. Mrs. Fang and Xiaoyu's mother hadn't seen each other for a long time and chatted for a while about their recent situations.
Both of them seemed hesitant to speak, each with something on their mind. But they couldn't bring themselves to ask directly.
Last time in Paris, Fang Baobao went to the Fu family's house for dinner. Although she didn't say it outright, she went there as Fu Di's girlfriend. So how did things go after that?
They dared not speak, they dared not ask.
They could only keep it to themselves. Their eyes met, a thousand words unspoken, but in the end, only sighs remained. When it comes to children, no matter how strong a person is, they have to endure it.
I've never seen a parent win against their child.
Qin Xiaoyu hadn't seen Fu Di for a while, and she was actually a little annoyed.
She discussed with Miranda the idea of sending Wang Jian to New York so that he could be closer to Xiao Jin and the two of them could spend more time together.
Miranda had met Wang Jian and liked the boy, so she readily agreed.
She probably didn't care about Xiao Jin's marriage as much as A Lei's, but now Xiao Jin has become her granddaughter.
Xiao Jin is no longer just an assistant; she has such a great figure that it would be a waste if she didn't become a model. She's currently taking modeling classes.
With Miranda's personal guidance, she'll definitely become a supermodel someday.
The overseas department is responsible for transferring personnel, and Qin Xiaoyu needs to meet with Fu Di to make a decision. She can simply give a word, but she can't just parachute in someone; that would be disrespectful to Fu Di.
It has been twenty days since she called Fu Di back, and she hasn't seen him at all.
This dismissive attitude is unlike him. Has he gotten too big for his britches after just one Paris Fashion Week?
If this really happens, not just her own brother, but everyone else will have to be taught a lesson. Qin Xiaoyu is not one to tolerate injustice. She's holding her breath, waiting for Fu Di to come out.
“If Xiaoyu’s work is a bit easier, she can come back with us to see her grandma. Grandma keeps talking about you; she really liked the clothes you gave her last time,” Fu Yongnian said.
“Great! I’ve been planning this for a while now. It’s so convenient to travel by plane these days. Just set a time.” Qin Xiaoyu agreed with a smile.
"Let's wait until she's five months along," Zhou Xing's mother said, still feeling uneasy.
"Mom, I'm fine. It's good to be resilient."
"Let's talk about it in five months. This is not something to be taken lightly," Xiaoyu's mother said, and Qin Xiaoyu dared not argue anymore. Having two mothers looking after her was a sweet burden.
The Deng family didn't come to dinner this time, so it was much quieter and the meal was eaten quickly. Qi Si felt that he had kept them company for a while, so he got up to go back to the hotel.
"Brother, you should rest more. You've lost so much weight." Qin Xiaoyu knew that he had a lot of work lately and had lost all the weight he had gained recently, so she felt a little sorry for him.
"Who said I was fat back then? Now they say I'm thin. Women, huh?" Qi Si pouted, still with that arrogant look.
He had just reached the door when the doorbell rang—perfect timing.
As soon as the door opened, Fu Di rushed in. He was tanned dark from somewhere, and when he grinned, his white teeth were dazzling.
Following behind was his assistant, Fang Baobao, whose skin tone was just right.
"Ta-da! What a surprise!" The two of them rushed to the table, each holding out a hand in front of everyone.
Everyone stared at the couple's rings, stunned.
"Wow! It's a wedding ring!" Qin Xiaoyu was the first to realize that the ring was on her ring finger.
"Yes, let me announce that we registered our marriage a month ago today. This is our honeymoon return. Because you probably wouldn't like us doing this, thinking it lacks a sense of ceremony, we've gathered everyone together today. We'll give you a surprise first, and once you're done worrying, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise. Isn't that a great ceremony?" Fang Baobao said generously.
Qin Xiaoyu cautiously glanced at her mother and Fu Yongnian's expressions. Could these two accept this?
Mrs. Fang didn't need to worry. She shrugged and accepted it. How many things in the Fang family were not outrageous?
Fu Di is such a good boy. He never does anything out of line, but now he's doing something big—he didn't even tell his family he was getting married.
"Great news, great news! We've solved two problems at once, what a wonderful thing!" Qi Si's attitude was quite frank, as if Fu Di and Fang Baobao, who were worried about getting married, had now found a solution.
Fu Yongnian and his wife were truly stunned, unable to process what was happening for a moment.
It was Qi Si's words that reminded Fu Yongnian: his son was getting married and would soon be a grandson, so why was he still spacing out? Shouldn't he be happy?
He quickly pulled Little Fish's mother's hand, waking her from her shock.
"Old Fu," Little Fish's mother called out timidly, still half-asleep.
"It's wonderful that our son is getting married," Fu Yongnian said, patting her hand to comfort her.
