Chapter 88 Dreaming

That day, the sky was extremely overcast and cold.

Jiang Xianli had no classes in the afternoon, so she rushed home immediately after school at noon.

Aunt Wang smiled and helped her get her slippers and take off her coat. "You must be cold. The kitchen has made a homemade hot pot and chicken soup. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

"good."

Jiang Xianli had just sat down at the dining table when she unexpectedly saw Xie Jingcheng coming back.

"Is your company busy today?"

Xie Jingcheng nodded, "Well, my business is on track, so I don't need to take care of it. The project I'm working on with Lu Jiaheng is still in the preparation stage. Now that the weather is cold, the steel bars, cement, and soil are all frozen. We have to wait until after the New Year to start construction."

Jiang Xianli sighed: "Time flies so fast. It will be the Chinese New Year in two months."

"Um."

Xie Jingcheng sat opposite him. The table was filled with ingredients and the hot pot soup was bubbling.

There are slices of marbled beef, grouper, shredded king crab, shrimp slips...

Xie Jingcheng prepared the fish fillets and meat and naturally placed them in the ginger and pear bowl.

Fresh and tender, dipped in sauce, full of flavor.

But even when eating hot pot, Jiang Xianli still asked Aunt Wang to serve her a bowl of rice.

She can't eat without staple food. If she doesn't eat staple food, she always feels like she is not full.

Fortunately, she doesn't gain weight no matter how much she eats, and her weight has remained stable at over 90 kilograms since she was a teenager.

After dinner, Jiang Xianli wanted to take a nap, but Aunt Wang said there was a call from the main house and asked her and Xie Jingcheng to go over.

Xie Jingcheng was puzzled, "It's not like there's anything wrong to let us go at this point."

"You'll know after you take a look." Jiang Xianli put on her coat and handed Xie Jingcheng's coat to him.

When the two went out, fine snowflakes were already falling outside.

Haiping City is located in the north, and the temperature can reach minus ten degrees Celsius at the coldest time. One-third of the winter is covered with ice and snow.

Although Jiang Xianli is afraid of the cold, she will be in a good mood as long as it snows.

It was Xie Jingcheng who said, "Wait a minute."

Then he took out a hat and scarf from the house and put them on Jiang Xianli.

"Girls have a cold constitution, so you should keep warm."

Jiang Xianli smiled and said, "Young Master is quite considerate."

Xie Jingcheng pursed his lips and smiled, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, have you been conquered by my charm? Are you starting to like me?"

He was in a good mood, and Jiang Xianli was also in a good mood.

Then she followed his words and said, "Yes, yes, I like you very much."

"You said it, if you dare to like another man in the future, I will break your legs and tie you up."

As he spoke, Xie Jingcheng made a move to catch her.

"ah……"

Jiang Xianli started to run, she ran and he chased her.

We arrived at the main house with laughter and joy all the way.

But I didn't expect that when I walked in, the whole family was there.

Seeing that the atmosphere inside was quite serious, Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng immediately put away their smiles.

Mrs. Xie smiled as she saw their relationship getting better and better. "Lili, have you had lunch?"

"Well, I've eaten. Is there anything important happening at home today?"

Mrs. Xie's expression changed. "He Xinran said she had something to say."

After Xie Jingcheng and Jiang Xianli also sat down, He Xinran stroked her belly and straightened her back and said, "Our business is getting better and better, and I'm pregnant now, which is a double blessing. However, as daughters-in-law of the Xie family, we have to share one car with several people. It's not only shabby, but also not enough.

Especially now that I'm pregnant, I need a car a lot and can't wait. If it doesn't work, you should just buy me a car."

Before Mrs. Xie could say anything, Xie Jingfeng said, "He Xinran, are you crazy? We will get divorced after the baby is born. You are no longer a member of our Xie family. Do you think you deserve to be bought a car?"

"I'm not worthy, but the child is worthy, right? My pregnancy is unstable now. If there is any problem with the child because I don't have time to go to the hospital, it will be a big deal."

The richer a family is, the more they value their children and grandchildren. He Xinran couldn't believe that the Xie family elders would be so reluctant as to buy even a car for their grandson.

"Tsk..." Xie Jingfeng sneered, "If you really had a miscarriage, it would be a big deal, a big happy event. He Xinran, I remember you were very smart before, why are you so confused now?

Don't you know that the reason you can still stay in the Xie family is all because of the child in your belly? If this child, whose father is unknown, is gone, I will be very happy, but you will be kicked out of the Xie family immediately.

So, if you want to live a few more days of good life, you'd better stop making trouble and stay quiet!"

Even though the child was his, he felt uncomfortable when he thought that He Xinran was sleeping with another man while he was having sex with her.

If anything happened to the child, he would not feel sorry at all.

He Xinran went to the main house to make trouble because she knew that Xie Jingfeng would never buy her a car, so she was not surprised when he said that.

He immediately turned his target to Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie.

"Dad, Mom, even though you don't believe that I haven't done anything to offend Jingfeng, the baby in my belly is indeed Jingfeng's, and he is your Xie family's grandson. I gave birth to children for your Xie family and continued the family line. Is it too much for me to want a car?"

Patriarch Xie glared at her impatiently and said, "Do you think we want a woman like you to continue our family line? That's because you're pregnant and there's nothing we can do about it. If you feel wronged, go to the hospital and get an abortion now."

It's not that he is cruel. The baby in He Xinran's belly is his grandson or granddaughter. After the baby is born, He Xinran will inevitably make trouble.

When the children grow up, there will be more troubles.

He Xinran was unwilling to give up and called out to Madam Xie again, "Mom, you are also a woman, you should be able to understand my worries and my love for my son, right?"

Mrs. Xie nodded. "Yes, now that you mention it, we should really be more concerned about the safety of the baby in your belly. From now on, you should not go anywhere, not even out of your own courtyard. It is very dangerous for a pregnant woman to ride in a car."

I don’t know if it’s true that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years, but He Xinran is so shameless that she even wants them to buy her a car. What kind of dream is she having?

He Xinran suddenly laughed, "Okay, okay. You think I have someone else outside, so it's normal that you don't like me. But my eldest sister-in-law and my third brother's wife are the same people as Jiang Xianli, right? What's more, my third brother's wife and my eldest sister-in-law both gave birth to grandchildren for your Xie family. Then why did you buy a car for Jiang Xianli, a Mercedes, but not for my eldest sister-in-law and my third brother's wife?

You are so partial, aren't you afraid of offending your eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife?"

At this time Jiang Xianli had to speak up, "You misunderstood, Jingcheng bought my car for me."

"Bah! Who knew Xie Jingcheng was a lazy, well-bred young man? But he was lucky, his parents favored him and only loved him. They secretly gave him much more money than his brothers! Even if he bought you a car, it was his family's money!"
