As Li Wanjun stepped out of the room, she saw her mother gazing tenderly at her belly.
She overheard a couple of days ago that her father had asked someone to do a sex determination for the baby in her mother's belly, and it turned out to be a boy.
So much so that her grandmother, who used to always treat her mother with hostility, has now become kind to her mother and even instructs the servants to cook bird's nest for her mother every day and make all sorts of nourishing foods for the fetus.
Now, in this house, fewer and fewer people notice her presence; she's like an invisible person.
Yesterday she planted trees on the mountain and rode back in a small truck carrying the saplings. It was a bumpy ride and she was freezing, but when she got back, not a single person cared about her.
She clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Xia Xingyun's stomach like that of a vicious venomous snake.
Xia Xingyun seemed to sense something, raised her head, met Li Wanjun's gaze, and felt a chill run down her spine.
However, when she blinked and looked again, Li Wanjun had already returned to the obedient demeanor she had taught her, looking at her belly with gentle eyes. Clearly, she was also looking forward to the arrival of her little brother.
Xia Xingyun walked over to Li Wanjun, took her hand, and led her back to the room, instructing her, "Honey, Su Yiqing is coming to visit us later, and Su Ruanruan and the others might come too."
You must be tired from going up the mountain to plant trees with them yesterday. Please rest in your room for a while and don't come out, okay?
The resentment and unwillingness in Li Wanjun's eyes flashed by, but her face remained obedient and sweet. "Yes, Mommy, I understand."
Xia Xingyun felt a little relieved when she saw that Li Wanjun had agreed.
In her opinion, Li Wanjun has indeed become much more obedient than before since she became pregnant.
And his ideas aren't as big as they used to be.
However, she was still very uneasy, feeling that something big was going to happen today. Her biggest worry was that Li Dazhi might not give up and replace Xia Yumeng with Li Wanjun when she wasn't paying attention.
From the moment Li Wanjun was born, she devoted herself entirely to her. In order to raise Li Wanjun to be successful, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her marital relationship and live apart from Li Dazhi.
Even though Li Wanjun has grown up to be somewhat disappointing, she still cherishes her daughter dearly and can't bear to see her get hurt.
Not to mention, she was sent to do that kind of thing at such a young age, becoming a tool for Li Dazhi to blackmail Su Yiqing.
After giving Li Wanjun a few more instructions, Xia Xingyun prepared to leave her room.
But Li Wanjun stopped Xia Xingyun and asked in confusion, "Mommy, Su Yiqing was so angry about what happened at my birthday party last time, so why did Su Yiqing agree to do business with Daddy?"
She still feels an intense urge to tear those bastards from the Su and Qin families to pieces when she thinks about what happened at her birthday party, but she can't show it at all right now.
Thinking about this made her feel even more aggrieved.
Before, at least in front of her mother, she could express her emotions and be herself, and back then her foolish mother listened to her.
But now, ever since she got pregnant again, Xia Xingyun doesn't care about her daughter at all. No matter how angry or resentful she is, no one cares about her anymore.
So now, even in front of her own mother, she can only play the role of an obedient daughter. The reason she is living such a miserable life is not only because of the bastards from the Qin and Su families, but also because of the bastard in her mother's belly.
She won't let any of them go.
In Xia Xingyun's eyes, although Li Wanjun, his daughter, had done a lot of foolish things since returning to China, she had always been smart.
So she thought about it for a moment and said to Li Wanjun, "Some time ago, someone impersonated Su Yan and gambled heavily in casinos in Macau, losing a lot of money."
Although the person who entered the casino was not Su Yan, the casino had a powerful backer, and the Su family refused to compromise with them. In the end, the fight was supposed to result in mutual destruction.
However, your father mediated, and in the end, the casino agreed not to pursue the matter, thus saving the Su family from loss.
That's why Su Yiqing agreed to work on this project with your father, as a way of thanking him.
Li Wanjun quickly grasped the key point: "Mommy, do you mean that after Daddy finishes this project with Su Yiqing, they won't work together again?"
“Your father does want to continue the cooperation, but Su Yiqing doesn’t seem to be interested. Your father should discuss this with Su Yiqing today.” Xia Xingyun patted Li Wanjun’s hand and instructed, “Alright, Mom will go downstairs to see if they’ve arrived yet. Listen to Mom, rest well in your room, and don’t go downstairs today unless there’s something important.”
A flash of malice crossed Li Wanjun's eyes as she watched Xia Xingyun's departing figure.
Actually, she had just caught a key point, but she didn't ask about it.
That's such a coincidence. She had just offended Su Yiqing badly at her birthday party when someone impersonated Su Yan and went into the casino to gamble heavily.
And coincidentally, her father happened to have connections with that casino in Macau, and had such influence that he was able to mediate the matter. As a result, the Su family owed her father such a huge favor, and not only did they not pursue the matter at her birthday banquet, they were also willing to cooperate with her father on a project to repay the favor.
However, these things were not important to her. She was eager for her father to keep Su Yiqing firmly under his control and make more money for her.
The important thing is that today is an opportunity. The little bastard in her mother's belly can no longer be kept. Otherwise, even if her father manages to trap Su Yiqing, the money he earns will not be hers, but the little bastard in her mother's belly.
