Back home, Li Guizhi asked with a smile, "Xiao Li, what kind of dumplings do you have for lunch at your company cafeteria?"
Jiang Xiaoli took off her coat and said with a smile, "Then I will definitely try every flavor. If I could only choose one, I think the mutton and radish filling is pretty good."
Li Guizhi came out carrying two plates and said with a smile, "That's perfect for changing things up. We only prepared pork and fennel filling and beef and chive filling."
Zong Jiayu quickly got up and took the plate from her hand, "Mom, don't bother, I'll do it."
Several plates of dumplings and a few side dishes were placed on the table. Li Guizhi raised her drink and said, "I gave Xiaotian the day off today and told her to go home and spend time with her family. You guys can try my cooking and see if it's gotten any worse."
Zong Jiayu smiled and said, "Mom, your cooking skills are getting better and better, you haven't gotten rusty at all!"
Jiang Xiaoli looked up from the bowl and exclaimed, "Mom's cooking is absolutely amazing!"
Just then, Xu Feng called, "Sister-in-law, Happy Winter Solstice! Have you eaten dumplings yet?"
"I'm eating!" Li Guizhi asked with concern, "Feng'er, has the surgery schedule for tomorrow been finalized?"
Xu Feng sighed softly, "It's confirmed. Alas, we're not meant to be with this child."
Last week, Xiao Jincheng and his wife visited Great Britain to discuss having a second child with Xiao Muyu.
They agreed to go to the hospital for a check-up, and if the doctor said there was no problem, they planned to keep the child.
As a result, the doctor in Chongqing told her very seriously that the embryo's development was very poor, and that if it went on for a long time, it would affect the mother's health. Even if the child was saved, there was a high possibility that it would be deformed or have congenital defects.
The doctor's words shattered Xu Feng's illusions. After resting at home for a few days, Xiao Muyu helped her make an appointment with the best obstetrician and gynecologist at Jiang's Hospital for an abortion.
Li Guizhi comforted her, "Feng'er, no matter what, your health is the most important thing. Take good care of yourself over there. When you come back and the weather gets warmer, we'll go on a trip together!"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll do whatever you say."
Suddenly, a different person answered the phone. Xiao Jincheng's voice came through, "Sister-in-law, please have Xiaolizi answer the phone."
Jiang Xiaoli took the phone and asked, "Uncle Xiao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jincheng said, "Your aunt will need to recuperate here for a while after the surgery. I can't go back to China for the time being. I sent you an email and would appreciate it if you could go to the company for me."
She replied, "I understand. I'll check the email after dinner and chat with you on 'SOSO'."
After she hung up the phone, Zong Jiayu casually mentioned, "Mom, it's been a month, it's about time you went to the hospital for a check-up. I'll schedule it for tomorrow."
Li Guizhi said confidently, "Sure, I feel much better. I didn't feel anything for so long!"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly, "Your opinion doesn't count; we'll see what the test results say."
After dinner, the two of them went downstairs to the study and immersed themselves in their work without disturbing each other.
Jiang Xiaoli opened the email sent by Xiao Jincheng and couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle Xiao is still soft-hearted."
Zong Jiayu turned to look at her, "Why do you say that?"
She pointed to the computer screen, "After returning to China, I asked Song Guoqiang to thoroughly investigate Zou Nan and the others, as well as everyone in the company. With so much evidence, although Uncle Xiao didn't want to tolerate it any longer, he planned to fire them after the New Year. Isn't that being soft-hearted, letting the company's parasites have one last good New Year?"
Zong Jia guessed, "Maybe Uncle Xiao can't come back on his own right now, and he doesn't want you to face these things directly, nor does he want the company's employees to be in a state of panic before the end of the year."
Jiang Xiaoli stroked her chin and thought for a moment, "That's true. I'm just a small shareholder. It's not so easy to get things done without Uncle Xiao."
She reviewed the solution Xiao Jincheng sent her, made some modifications, and then sent it to him via "SOSO".
[Jiang Youqian: Uncle Xiao, I was itching to make some changes, so I edited it for you. Is that alright?]
About five or six minutes later, Xiao Jincheng replied to her.
[A Bright Future: Okay, Little Pear, you're in charge of this matter. I'll handle the rest when I get back.]
Jiang Xiaoli looked at Xiao Jincheng's words and said, "As expected, Uncle Xiao really doesn't want to make things difficult for me."
[Jiang Youqian: Received!]
She spent more than half an hour organizing the information on "Jincheng Real Estate" for use the next day.
After finishing her work, she glanced to the side listlessly.
Then he simply rested his elbows on the table, raised one hand to support his chin, and watched Zong Jia's slender fingers fly across the keyboard without blinking.
His lips were slightly pursed, and his expression seemed to be deep in thought, focused and serious.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, for the person being stared at quickly realized what was happening.
Zong Jia didn't stop what he was doing, but turned his face slightly towards her. "Little Pear, what's wrong?"
She smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. I just wanted to look at some handsome guys after finishing work. They're pleasing to the eye."
Zong Jia chuckled lightly, "I can adjust it to your liking, whichever angle you prefer."
Jiang Xiaoli looked him up and down, "This profile is quite nice."
Zong Jiayu stopped writing a string of code, turned around to face her, and said, "Little Pear, are you tired of seeing my face already?"
She chuckled and said, "Ayu, you're so cunning, you must be a fox spirit reincarnated, right?"
Zong Jia, not understanding, asked, "What does 'this tea' mean?"
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment and described, "It's the kind of person who looks innocent and harmless like a green tea b*tch, but is actually scheming and more cunning than anyone else."
Zong Jiayu understood for a moment and then laughed, "Little Pear, you really have a whole repertoire of things to say."
She shrugged. "So... you admit it, right?"
"Hmm... I think in order to promote the harmonious and sustainable development of our marital relationship, I still have to drink the tea."
"Hahaha." Jiang Xiaoli was amused by his self-righteous attitude. "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to take a shower now."
She turned off her computer, stood up, and was about to leave when someone grabbed her around the waist and picked her up.
Zong Jia calmly carried her to the bathroom, saying, "Work is on hold, I'll go with you."
In a panic, Jiang Xiaoli grabbed his neck and muttered, "You're not going to care about work anymore? You're acting like a tyrant."
Zong Jiayu closed the toilet seat and placed her on it. "Little Pear, don't you know? You are the biggest reason for me to work hard. When you have a conflict with work, isn't it natural for me to choose you?"
She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and stamp his arm with her own. "Ayu, you're a true logical genius!"
