Chapter 139 The Scent of a Mature Woman
The will of the people is unyielding; one cannot fight against overwhelming odds.
In the end, Old Mrs. Liu had no choice but to compromise with the man who had sent her son to jail, and she signed a land lease contract with Su Yuanzheng, receiving a large sum of money in return.
After the lingering heat of late summer, Haicheng experienced another period of heat, and the leaves remained green. However, after several rain showers, the temperature plummeted.
Xia Yutong originally only wanted to take on some handicrafts to pass the time, but she didn't expect it to grow bigger and bigger. She didn't invest much money in the early stages, and she ended up paying back Su Yuanzheng with interest.
"Take it. The start-up capital you gave me, and the money I earned myself, I'll keep."
Xia Yutong handed a bank card to Su Yuanzheng, who was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
He works from morning till night every day, and whether the temperature rises or falls by a few degrees makes no difference to him; he is still sweating every day.
He didn't take her hand, but instead looked her over with interest. "You're treating me like an outsider?"
"I'll lend you the money..."
"Here you go, take the flowers."
“It’s not right for me to spend your money now that I can earn it myself.”
"What's wrong with it?"
Su Yuanzheng said, "You're mine, spend it as you please. This is all I have. When I earn more money, I'll give it all to you."
Although there was a hint of arrogance in his words, Xia Yutong was quite pleased to hear them. "Su Yuanzheng, you might regret saying this now, once you've actually made a lot of money."
"No, you used to be the daughter of the Xia family. Marrying me was a step down for you. I've always remembered that. I'll find a way to bring you back to the standard of living you had when you were a child."
These words made Xia Yutong doubt again, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
"I have absolutely no idea about that right now."
Perhaps in her previous life, being reduced from a young lady of the Xia family to an adopted daughter of the Su family and forced to live in the countryside was a thorn in her heart. However, from the moment she was reborn, after learning about everything that happened in her previous life, she had already pulled that thorn out herself.
She was once high and mighty, having never lacked food or clothing since childhood and being pampered by her parents, but that was all given to her by her parents and shouldn't have been hers to begin with. She doesn't need to be aloof.
Overestimating oneself can harm both oneself and others.
"Whether I have it or not, I want to give you the best."
Su Yuanzheng looked at her pregnant belly and said, "In another month, it will be her due date."
Xia Yutong responded and stood at the door of the cabin.
She hadn't expected time to pass so quickly.
During her pregnancy, every day was tough, but after three months, she feels she's gotten used to it...
Sometimes, when she gets so engrossed in doing crafts, she even forgets that she is pregnant.
Shen Yi suddenly came out of the house, "Sister Yutong."
"What's wrong?"
"There's a client who's acting strangely."
Zhou Xuehua handled this client online. Later, when the client asked for something that Zhou Xuehua found hard to understand, she passed it on to Li Miao. After chatting for a few minutes, Li Miao thought the client was crazy and passed it on to Shen Yi.
It seems that Shen Yi is also stumped.
Xia Yutong looked at Su Yuanzheng and said, "The baby is fine and healthy. It kicks me a lot in my belly, so don't be too nervous."
Although she no longer needed the pregnancy-preserving injections, Su Yuanzheng was still worried. Sometimes he would get up several times in the middle of the night, fearing that something might have happened to the baby in her belly.
This also makes Xia Yutong even more certain that Su Yuanzheng knows the reason for her rebirth; he knows that she will be uncomfortable throughout her pregnancy.
In her previous life, she had a very difficult childbirth...
After speaking, Xia Yutong went into the cabin to meet with the client. She glanced at Shen Yi talking to the client and guessed that the client was probably Zhou Hengzhi.
He didn't specify what he wanted, he just said he wanted an answer and asked the studio if they could give him one.
Since Zhou Xuehua started working in customer service, she has encountered too many strange people, but this is the first one that even Li Miao and Shen Yi couldn't solve.
Because the other party's stance remained firm: they wanted an answer.
Xia Yutong took out her phone and discovered that these two days were the dates for Zhou Hengzhi and Hua Xin's wedding.
In her previous life, things didn't happen so early, but she remembered it clearly. When Zhou Hengzhi and Hua Xin held their wedding in her previous life, he was quite happy. He was probably tired of playing around and wanted to find something new with Hua Xin.
"Hello, is this the answer?"
After reading the chat history, Xia Yutong replied to the message.
The other end of the line was a profile picture of a masked boy, who quickly replied, "Yes, I want to contact your studio to get an answer."
What material would you like to use?
"Use your heart."
Xia Yutong sneered. Just looking at those two sentences, anyone would think he had something wrong with his head.
She took a deep breath. "Human heart or pig's heart?"
"People's hearts".
“Zhou Hengzhi…”
She sent the message, and in the office, Zhou Hengzhi, facing his computer, suddenly burst out laughing.
Ah Huan stood beside him, completely bewildered.
These past few days, he felt a chill run down his spine whenever Zhou Hengyi smiled.
"President Zhou..."
"Don't speak."
Ah Huan could only remain silent.
Zhou Hengzhi looked at his computer and said, "Xia Yutong, I won't let you get away with this."
Xia Yutong felt a wave of relief when she saw that he had admitted it was Zhou Hengzhi. "Happy marriage! I wish you happiness."
I will not bless you.
"what ever."
Zhou Hengzhi wanted to say something more, but Xia Yutong blocked him directly and told Li Miao and Zhou Xuehua, "If you see this account again, don't reply."
"Does Sister Yutong know who it is?"
"I know."
Xia Yutong said, "He's a lunatic."
Zhou Hengzhi and Hua Xin's wedding was held as scheduled, causing quite a stir in the entire Haicheng. Some media outlets, always eager for a good show, brought up old stories again: "The Zhou family's heir, unable to win the heart of the internet celebrity 'Sister Nanbian,' retreated to a marriage alliance with the Hua family."
Hua Hin, dressed in a pristine white wedding gown, was nearly driven mad with anger upon seeing this news.
As a result, Xia Yutong was once again propelled to the top by this inexplicable surge of popularity, ushering in another wave of buzz.
She looked at the new orders and couldn't stop smiling. As she was laughing, the baby in her belly kicked her.
Xia Yutong felt a slight pain in her stomach and immediately stopped laughing. She was making money, and she couldn't help but smile.
She tried her best not to laugh out loud.
Su Qinglian came in, took some strawberries from her table, and seeing her strange smile, explained, "It's just a few of your strawberries, are you that reluctant to part with them?"
"Don't be so stingy. I'll just go to town in a couple of days and buy you two pounds as compensation."
Su Qinglian is so petty and always misunderstands people. Xia Yutong cleared her throat. "Don't you dislike strawberries because you think there are too many bugs?"
Su Qinglian said awkwardly, "Xu Lei and the others love to eat. I don't understand you young people."
Despite saying that, she still took the strawberries and went outside.
Xia Yutong noticed that Su Qinglian had straightened her curly hair and grown it long. She was wearing the horse-face skirt that Shen Yi had made for her, and her long hair was tied up and secured with a hairpin.
She's got that mature woman vibe.
