Chapter 723: My Daughter is the Heroine Who Runs Away with the Baby (12)
"Professor Wang! Professor Wang! Can you see if this is a ghost orchid?" Professor Wang was preparing a lesson plan in his office when his favorite student, Wang Qingquan, excitedly walked in with his cell phone and handed it to him.
Professor Wang squinted at the photo on his phone, and when he saw it clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, snatched his phone, and said, "You said this is a ghost orchid?!"
"I think so, but I'm not sure, because this is not wild. It was casually planted by someone in his own yard. The growth environment is not very similar. I'm not sure, so I asked you to come and take a look..." Wang Qingquan explained.
Professor Wang enlarged the photo again and again, and looked at it again and again, not missing a single detail.
After carefully identifying it, he suppressed his inner excitement and looked at his proud disciple: "Where did you see this photo?"
"This was filmed by a small internet celebrity in a villager's yard while live-streaming his hometown on a popular video website. The video is still available online and it is real," said Wang Qingquan.
"Then show me that live video." Professor Wang quickly handed the phone to Wang Qingquan.
Wang Qingquan had saved the video himself, so he found it quickly and played it for Professor Wang.
The video shows a female anchor excitedly introducing the flowers and plants in the yard. She introduced the flowers and plants she knew in detail, and those she didn't know in a briefer way. The ghost orchid, a rare flower with a ghostly aura, was one she didn't know, so she didn't spend much time filming it. She just got close to it and filmed it for a while because it looked very distinctive.
Professor Wang almost held his breath and pressed the pause button, staring at the high-definition image. The flat green roots and the pale, ghost-like flowers in strange shapes all indicated that it was the legendary ghost orchid, an extremely precious and rare orchid that only grew in deep mountains, old forests, wilderness swamps, and the orchid family.
"You said it's not wild? It's artificially cultivated? It's extremely difficult to cultivate ghost orchids artificially. Even professionals like us can't cultivate it successfully. How could people from a village cultivate it?" Professor Wang was puzzled, but Jiang Xue's video clearly showed that the ghost orchid was indeed real and alive and well.
"Could it be that this person secretly picked it from the wild?!" Professor Wang suddenly thought of this possibility and became very angry. "Don't you know that stealing wild ghost orchids is illegal?!"
"Professor, if the ghost orchid was stolen from the wild, it would not grow so vigorously... and, have you forgotten? Ghost orchids do not grow here. Most of the ghost orchids are native to Europe..." Wang Qingquan hurriedly reminded his teacher.
Professor Wang then remembered that, just as Wang Qingquan said, no wild ghost orchids had been found in his country so far, so the ghost orchid in the video was unlikely to be wild.
Thinking of this, Professor Wang became excited again: "Qingquan, quickly check where the village in the video is. We need to go and see it quickly... No, no, it's too slow for me to ask you to check. I'll do it myself..."
As he spoke, he picked up his cell phone and called someone to explain things. Wang Qingquan then quickly sent some information he had found through Jiang Xue's video to Professor Wang, so that he could reduce unnecessary repetitive work.
"Aunt Zhou, someone just came to me and asked for your address. They said they were from the Plant Biology Research Institute and wanted to visit you. They wanted to know about the flowers you planted, and some of the varieties are very precious... Aunt, I don't know your opinion, and I haven't got your consent, so I didn't disclose your address. But they may start from other places... Has my live broadcast caused you any trouble?" Jiang Xue called Zhou Shichu and asked cautiously.
Zhou Shichu smiled and said, "Then I agree now. If they come to you again, you can give them my address."
"Don't you mind? What if it's someone with ulterior motives?" Jiang Xue asked.
"Don't mind. If it's someone with ulterior motives, I can deal with it myself, so you don't have to worry. And the people who know that the flowers and plants here are rare varieties are people who know a lot about flowers. Most of those people won't use any despicable means, and even if they do, I can deal with them." Zhou Shichu explained.
Jiang Xue felt relieved knowing that she had not caused any trouble for Zhou Shichu.
Most of the flowers in Zhou Shichu's yard had been sold, leaving a lot of empty space. She bought a lot of flower pots online, transplanted some flowers and plants from the space, and added more to the space. Before long, the yard was full of colorful flowers again.
Because Jiang Zhuyin had a normal birth, she was observed in the hospital for three days. As there were no problems, the doctor discharged her.
She was holding the child and carrying a large bag by herself, and by the time she walked out of the hospital she was already sweating profusely.
There were a lot of people coming and going at the hospital entrance. She had forgotten to book a taxi online in advance, and when she got to the door she couldn't get one. Finally, a kind-hearted man saw that she was pale and alone with her child and luggage, so he gave her the taxi he had called.
Jiang Zhuyin finally returned home after much difficulty and was so tired that she fell on the bed. But after she had been lying there for a while, her son started crying.
Jiang Zhuyin had to drag her heavy body up to coax him. She found that he had pooped, so she had to change his diaper, wash his butt, and put on his diaper... After being busy for a long time and sweating all over, she finally coaxed the child into good health.
But at this time she herself was hungry again.
She no longer had the energy to cook, and there was no food in the refrigerator at home, so she had to splurge and order takeout.
"Baby, it would be great if you could talk and walk when you are born and take care of yourself. Then mom wouldn't have to work so hard." Jiang Zhuyin sighed as she looked at her son in the cradle, who was full of energy and waving his little hands constantly.
She had only been a mother for a few days, but she was already very tired and didn't dare to think about what the future would be like.
She thought of her mother's words. Should she really go to Ouyang Muye and tell him that she had given birth to a son for him? But she didn't want to. She didn't have the face to tell him. She didn't dare to think about what Ouyang Muye would think of her if he knew.
Jiang Zhuyin had expected that Ouyang Muye would be surprised and excited after knowing this, and would immediately take her and the child away, so that from then on, the three of them would be happily together...
But her dream was too unrealistic, and the possibility of it coming true was almost zero. Even as naive as she was, she knew that if she gave birth to a man's child out of wedlock, the man would be more horrified than surprised when he found out.
