On September 9, the entire Jiang family arrived in Kyoto by private plane, marking the official return of the Jiang family, who had been living abroad for 90 years, to the embrace of their motherland.
Jiang Xiaoli and her family of three went to the airport to pick them up, along with leaders from the official business department.
Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia took the initiative to step forward and greet the leader.
The leader chatted with them very warmly, saying, "Oh my, is Xiao Jiang about to give birth? Your baby will definitely be beautiful!"
Zong Jiayu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. The baby will be born in a month and a few days."
The leader nodded approvingly, "You two are role models in the business world! You contributed a lot to Jiang's return to China this time, and I must say thank you."
Jiang Xiaoli quickly said, "You're too kind, leader. We've only achieved a little success, which is simply in line with the trend of the times."
Jiang Zemin's return to China further proves our country's strong appeal, making overseas Chinese optimistic about the future development of the Chinese market.
The leader was very satisfied with her words, nodding and smiling repeatedly, saying, "I am very pleased to see that you young people have such thoughts!"
They chatted briefly, and after Jiang's plane came to a stop, the leader and his subordinates drove to the tarmac to pick up the people.
Jiang Xiaoli and the other two were also exceptionally allowed to enter.
After the media photo shoot and interviews were over, Jiang Ruibo and Qiao Xing'er represented the Jiang family at the official reception luncheon, while the rest of the Jiang family members followed Jiang Xiaoli and the others back to "Guantang Residence".
After getting off the plane, Grandma Jiang first lectured her second son and eldest grandson, complaining about their reckless behavior of refusing to return to Kyoto from the disaster area two months ago.
Then she grabbed her eldest granddaughter's hand and wouldn't let go, saying, "Xiao Li, you're quite far along in your pregnancy, didn't I tell you not to come pick me up? Look at you, you're so disobedient!"
Jiang Xiaoli linked arms with her and said with a smile, "Grandma, it's my baby in my belly who can't wait to meet my great-grandmother, and I can't stop him!"
Grandma Jiang's face lit up with a smile when she heard this. "You little rascal, you always know how to sweet-talk me and make me happy!"
Wang Min smiled and said, "Mom, you should be happy that Xiao Li is so healthy!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's right, that's right, Second Aunt is absolutely right!"
Grandma Jiang waved her hand, "Fine, I can't argue with either of you!"
After lunch, the Jiang family went back to their rooms to rest and catch up on sleep, and Jiang Xiaoli and the others also went home.
Li Guizhi chuckled, "It's going to be lively here from now on."
She laughed and said, "Yes, Uncle Xiao and his family will be moving here next month, making this place even more lively!"
After the Jiang family returned, Jiang Xiaoli obediently reported to everyone without being reminded.
"I have already arranged things at the company. From now on, I will rest at home until I finish my postpartum confinement."
Li Guizhi was very satisfied with her decision. "I was just about to say that if you hadn't stayed home and prepared for childbirth, I would have gone to tell your grandmother."
"Mom!" Jiang Xiaoli's eyes widened. "Why do I feel like you've got a powerful backer now?"
"Hahaha." Li Guizhi laughed smugly. "What's wrong? You're full of grand principles, I can't argue with you, and you won't even let me find someone to help me?"
Well, what can she do about this bloodline suppression?
She said in a coquettish tone, "I listen to you the most, so please don't wrong me."
Li Guizhi patted her hand and said, "Good that you're obedient!"
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she asked, "Xiao Li, do you and A Yu want to ask the doctor if the baby is a boy or a girl? There's only one month left, so it will be easier to prepare things for the baby."
She waved her hand dismissively, "No need. We've already waited nine months, what's one more month? Why differentiate between boys' and girls' things for children? Both can be used."
Seeing her say that, Li Guizhi stopped trying to persuade her and just smiled and said, "Now that I think about it, it's really good that you and Ayu are together. There's no pressure from your in-laws, and no pressure to have a son."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's right, Ayu and I are a match made in heaven."
Li Guizhi affectionately tidied her daughter's hair, saying, "Your shamelessness is just like your father's!"
...
As the due date drew closer, Jiang Xiaoli noticed that Zong Jiayu was becoming somewhat anxious.
Every day, I would repeat the contents of the hospital bag and various postpartum precautions several times.
That night, he was muttering to himself again, so Jiang Xiaoli went over and pulled him to sit down.
"Ayu, have you been under too much pressure lately?"
Zong Jia also noticed his recent unusual behavior.
He gave a wry smile and said, "I just don't know if I can be a good father. I can only try my best to learn everything I should do."
Jiang Xiaoli leaned gently against his chest, "Ayu, you will definitely be a good father, you don't need to worry about this at all."
Zong Jiayu said, "Zong Ze contacted me at the beginning of the month. He was released early because he behaved well in prison."
"Hmm?" She felt that this name had been gone from her mind for a long time.
Zong Jia sighed, "Back then, he turned over the money he had been hiding to get a reduction in his sentence, but Yang Xin and that other woman were unhappy about it. Now they're ignoring him and want to divorce him."
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "So now you're asking me to support him?"
"Heh." Zong Jia sneered, "He somehow found out that Chi Haiyao was gone and wanted to get a share of the pie, but I sent him away."
Zong Ze's shamelessness is simply astounding. What does his ex-wife's inheritance, which she has been divorced from for many years, have to do with him?
She was speechless for a moment, when she heard Zong Jiayu say softly, "With such a biological father, I'm really afraid of inheriting his terrible genes."
Now Jiang Xiaoli finally understood the reason for his anxiety during this period.
She took Zong Jiayu's hand and placed it on her stomach. "Ayu, you must not think like that. The difference between people is huge. You and him are completely different people."
Zong Jia hugged her and said, "Little Pear, thank you for giving me a complete family."
She simply smiled slightly, saying nothing, everything understood without words.
...
On October 13, Jiang Xiaoli went to the hospital ahead of schedule to prepare for childbirth, urged by her family.
Grandma Jiang sat by the hospital bed and sighed, "If only we had moved back to China a few years earlier, then Xiaoli could have given birth in our own hospital."
She ate her banana with a smile, "Grandma, this is the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Kyoto. Besides, didn't Uncle call two doctors from Chongqing to come and oversee things? You can rest assured."
Qiao Xing'er also chimed in, "Yes, Mom, look at Xiao Li's condition, she'll definitely be able to give birth to the baby safely!"
However, despite being healthy, Jiang Xiaoli's due date of October 15th has not yet arrived.
This really worried a lot of people.
