Chapter 141 Inextricably linked
Xing Mingyu is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and she is 1.68 meters tall. According to the formula provided on the baby care app to predict the child's height from the parents' height, the boy she gives birth to will be at least 1.85 meters tall, and the girl will be as tall as her.
There is no way. Since he is the child's biological father, there will always be a close relationship between them.
There is no way to avoid it.
Now that the child has not been born yet, his traces are already everywhere in our life.
Even when estimating a child's future height, one cannot avoid taking him into account.
Hey.
Jiang Qianxun still agrees with her previous idea that it would be better not to know who the biological father of the child is. That way, she can avoid a lot of emotional changes.
I have to admit that the child’s father is now subtly influencing the child’s mother’s emotions.
In the future, he will also affect the children's emotions.
Jiang Qianxun felt overwhelmed just thinking about it.
Across the table, Auntie Lan was adding more food to her plate. Seeing that she seemed in the mood to listen, she continued.
"By the way, Miss, the baby will be born in half a year. Time flies. Have you considered the hospital for delivery? I heard from my dance partners that the Guojin Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in Jing City is very good, with complete facilities. The doctors and nurses there are also very friendly and good at comforting mothers."
Jiang Qianxun put down his chopsticks, took a bowl of stewed blood swallows, and said, "Well, then Guojin Hospital."
It’s not that she was willing to follow advice, but based on the importance the Xing family and Xing Mingyu attached to the fetus during her previous two attempts to preserve the fetus, she probably had no choice.
The Xing family would definitely not feel comfortable if she gave birth in another hospital, so she had to go to a hospital under the Xing family's name.
Even if "Guo Jin" does not belong to the Xing family, it is indeed a good choice.
"That's great. I'll go find out more about the obstetrics and gynecology department of that hospital when I have time." Aunt Lan didn't know the inside story, but she was still worried about her.
So, the master and the servant started chatting, from talking about the hospital to naming the baby, to the child's clothes, and finally even which school the child would attend in the future was brought up for discussion by Aunt Lan.
The meal lasted from around seven to nearly eight o'clock, and the time spent eating was equal to the time spent chatting. At the beginning, Jiang Qianxun still wanted to reply to Aunt Lan, but as she chatted, she found something was wrong.
When talking about the appearance of children, she would think that no matter whether it is a boy or a girl... they will look like him.
The girl is okay, no matter how similar they are, they are not exactly the same.
As for boys...when they grow up...
Even when he was a child, Jiang Qianxun found it hard to imagine that he would have to face a smaller version of Xing Mingyu every day in the future.
Ugh.
She sighed again, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.
When talking about the school her child would attend in the future, the scene that appeared in her mind was Xing Mingyu picking up her child from school.
When talking about whether to sign up for tutoring classes in the future, she thought of Xing Mingyu working in the office and his two children doing their homework obediently opposite him.
Xing Ming Yu, Xing Ming Yu...
No matter what Aunt Lan talked about, as long as it was about children, the noble figure of Xing Mingyu always appeared in her mind.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Later on, she simply stopped talking and just listened quietly until Aunt Lan noticed that she was in a bad mood and stopped talking.
"Miss, I've been talking to you for so long, you must be tired, go sit in the living room and prepare to wash up and rest, I'll pack up."
Although the eldest lady has shown signs of letting go, it is unrealistic to forget someone all of a sudden. Judging from the look on her face, she is most likely thinking about Mr. Xing again.
Isn’t it said that once a man and a woman have physical contact, it is difficult to completely forget it?
The child's topic can no longer be continued, and her attention must be diverted quickly.
But there is no point in just avoiding the topic. If Mr. Xing has his own difficulties, he should explain them clearly to the young lady. But he is different. A few days have passed and his mouth seems to be just a decoration. He doesn't say a word. He even doesn't even bother to go home so late tonight.
Originally, Aunt Lan felt a little sorry for this man.
If this continues, Aunt Lan will be angry on behalf of the eldest lady.
Jiang Qianxun took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth. Looking at the empty courtyard outside, she nodded lightly.
Aunt Lan noticed her look, cleaned up the dishes, and made a decision in her heart.
If Mr. Xing doesn't come back to coax her little girl before ten o'clock tonight, she will lock the door and no one will be able to come in again!
As a result, by the time Aunt Lan finished washing the dishes and helping her little girl finish washing up, it was already 10:15 in the evening, and there was still no movement outside.
Aunt Lan was very disappointed. She didn't wait any longer and went out to lock the iron gate tightly.
The next day, at the top of the Xing Group.
When Xing Mingyu came out of the lounge neatly dressed, Assistant Zhou was already standing at the office door, carrying a large suitcase and waiting for orders.
Seeing the man in a black haute couture autumn coat coming out, Zhou Lili immediately went over to him and handed him several pages of negotiation documents that he had sorted out last night.
The man took it and walked out of the office with his long legs, but he suddenly stopped when passing by the chief secretary's desk.
"I'm going to Country F for half a month. Send an email to the heads of all departments immediately to cancel the regular meetings for the next two weeks. If there are other urgent matters, you can call me."
"Yes, President." The chief secretary didn't dare to look the man in the eye. He stood up and said yes respectfully. After the powerful aura around him disappeared, he quickly turned on the computer with an undisguised look of shock on his face.
It's strange. Usually when the president cancels a meeting, he always says one sentence, "weekly meeting canceled, regular meeting canceled". Why did he specifically explain the reason and destination this time?
So, in this notice, should he indicate the reason or not?
Director Office.
Jiang Qianxun held the breakfast brought in by Jin Xiaoan in one hand and opened the company mailbox with the other hand. The first thing she saw was an urgent email marked with an asterisk.
When I clicked on it, I saw that it was an email sent by the general secretary to cancel the regular meeting. It also specifically noted the president's whereabouts: a twelve-day business trip to Country F.
Her slender fingers that were holding the second granola bar suddenly paused.
It turns out he didn’t come back last night. Was he on a business trip?
She calmly bit down the second granola bar, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Men of this class are really unpredictable.
Although he clearly had no feelings for her, he still insisted on caring for the child he had by accident overnight.
It was clearly for the sake of the child, but he made all kinds of deals with her, saying he would give up custody, and yet he lived with her, made love with her, and did all kinds of things with her. He said he wanted to get off work on time to be with her and the child, but he was entangled with other women, didn't even clean the hair off his shirt, and now he's gone abroad.
What's the saying that a woman's heart is as unfathomable as the sea? It's the same with how she views men.
Especially high-class men like this.
It makes people feel uneasy.
After finishing her second granola bar with no effort, she pushed the snack away.
Fortunately, I never thought of having anything to do with this man from the beginning.
From then on, her life was only about her children and career.
"Director An, what do you think of this design drawing?" At this time, a new employee brought a newly printed sketch to her for review, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at her.
Jiang Qianxun came back to her senses, forcibly shook the man out of her mind, and reached out to take the sketch: "Let me see."
So in the next few days, apart from the necessary rest, Jiang Qianxun was completely immersed in her work.
During the day, she mainly trains new employees and handles Chinese matters. When she is free at night, she will video chat with Meng Zixi and others to listen to them talk about how to dismiss those undisciplined designers. After finishing the work at hand, all the staff will wait to come back to join her.
Xie Qiong would also call to say hello to her. After all, Xie Qiong was the children's biological grandmother, and she did not reject Xie Qiong's concern. When she was free, she would video chat with Xingbao and Jingbao once or twice.
It would be better if Qin Chuan didn't call her from time to time to harass her.
"Beep, beep, beep!" That day, she was handling the emails from Huawen Group on her mobile phone when Qin Chuan's phone rang again.
Thinking of the nine-grid photos Zhao Xi had posted of Qin Chuan accompanying her on her Moments these days, she suddenly lost the mood to go for a walk. She directly rejected the call and added Qin Chuan's phone to the blacklist.
Aunt Lan came out of the living room carrying a shopping cart and saw her standing at the door with a gloomy face, feeling a little worried.
"Miss? Did something happen to you?"
Jiang Qianxun raised her phone and said bluntly, "It's the scumbag who called. Aunt Lan, no matter if I'm at home or not, you must never let Qin Chuan set foot in the Jiang family."
Aunt Lan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, thinking that it was good that it was not Mr. Xing who caused it.
However, seeing her little girl's increasingly thin face, she still felt somewhat worried.
"Miss, it's getting cold in autumn, so don't walk in the garden. Come with me to the supermarket and take a walk."
Jiang Qianxun thought about it and nodded.
......
Twenty minutes later.
When Jiang Qianxun stopped in front of the huge fruit and vegetable section, she realized that she had come to the same store she and Xing Mingyu had visited last time.
This supermarket didn't exist when she was a child. Looking at the decoration, the last time they came here, they drove and went directly to the third floor from the underground floor. She didn't notice the name of this supermarket at that time.
This time she took a taxi and walked through the main entrance of the supermarket. If she hadn't seen the familiar fruit and vegetable section, she really wouldn't have recognized it.
"..." Jiang Qianxun's mood, which had just gotten better, suddenly became heavy when he revisited the old place.
"Miss, please take a look around. I'll pick some durians." Aunt Lan didn't notice her emotions and pushed the cart into the fruit and vegetable area.
"Well, I'll go check out the stationery section." Jiang Qianxun deliberately avoided the toy area and planned to take a walk there, but there was really nothing good to buy, so she simply turned on her cell phone and chatted with Meng Zixi and the others.
Ever since Meng Zixi and his colleagues decided to return to China for development, they have turned down any business that came to them and are waiting to finish the work at hand before returning to China.
In order to facilitate communication, she logged into the QUEEN account and created a new group with them so that everyone could contact each other easily if anything happened.
At that time, it was morning abroad and Meng Zixi did not have much work to do, so he naturally had time to chat.
She was chatting happily with her friends in the group when suddenly, Meng Zixi sent her a private message.
[Oh, Boss, there is something I forgot to tell you. Do you remember the overseas Chinese who bought the blueprints of the entertainment city? ]
Jiang Qianxun raised an eyebrow.
[Is this the love-brained Chinese man who spent money to build an entertainment city for his beloved wife? ]
[It's him. His assistant heard that we are going to return to China for development, and said last night that he wanted to treat us to a meal, and he also invited you. You are the boss, do you want to go to this meal? ]
[I mean to reject you. I don’t know why, but I always feel that the other party is coming for you, or rather, for the Queen.]
For her?
Jiang Qianxun was stunned, and the thought of Xing Mingyu wanting to buy the set of building blocks in her hand immediately flashed through her mind, making her feel inexplicably unhappy.
Why is that man’s shadow everywhere?
【Don’t go. 】
[As expected of my eldest brother, you think the same as me. Then I won’t talk to you for now. I will reply to the other party. ]
Meng Zixi was busy, but Jiang Qianxun's mood couldn't go back to the same. When she thought of Xing Mingyu, the emotions that had been suppressed for the past few days could no longer be controlled.
Suddenly she didn't want to be alone anymore, so she put away her phone and prepared to look for Aunt Lan. When she looked up, she found that she had unknowingly walked to the toy area again. The place where she was standing was exactly where she and Xing Mingyu had chatted last time.
The conversation she had with him that day also rang in her ears.
"Xing Mingyu, I have a question for you."
"you say"
"Why did you record the video for me so easily? Do you have any request?"
“There is indeed a request.”
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a request? And you even recorded the video. What if I don't agree?"
"It's not too late to say it now."
“What request?”
Thinking of that deep, magnetic and bold words, Jiang Qianxun didn't dare to think about it a second time, and her face couldn't help but get a little hot.
But when he thought of the hair stuck to his shirt, the heat in his body instantly faded and he felt even worse.
"Miss, why do you look so bad? Are you exhausted?"
When Aunt Lan came back from picking durians, she saw her face turning red and black and was very worried.
Seeing Aunt Lan was worried, Jiang Qianxun came out of his emotion, forced a smile, and made up a lie.
"I encountered some problems at work, I'm fine."
Of course Aunt Lan didn't believe it, but when she thought about the last time she and Mr. Xing had been to this supermarket, she understood.
"Then do you want to go back and take care of your work first?"
Jiang Qianxun really didn't want to stay here, so he nodded.
After paying the bill, Aunt Lan carried a big durian and took the elevator downstairs with her. When they went down, a couple happened to be arguing in a low voice behind them. The wife wanted to buy it, but the husband didn't care. The couple couldn't reach an agreement, so the wife got angry.
"If I had known that marrying you would result in this, I should have married the boss who is ten years older than me. He may be a little ugly, but he is still a wealthy family! At least I can buy a box of facial masks without being criticized by others for spending money recklessly!"
Looking at the woman who walked past them and quickly walked down the elevator, Aunt Lan was thinking about Mr. Xing and her eldest daughter. She changed her mouth and held the durian tightly. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke.
"Men from wealthy families are really popular. By the way, Miss, Mr. Xing also comes from a wealthy family. What do you think of him?"
Jiang Qianxun also heard the conversation between the couple. She thought Aunt Lan was just asking casually, so she didn't pay much attention to it and just answered casually.
"Except for his strong abilities and coming from a wealthy family, men are like that. They chase after what they can't get, but don't cherish it after they get it. They always want more." Jiang Wenyuan is like this, Qin Chuan is like this, and Xing Mingyu is the same.
"Moreover, the wealthy families are not as good as outsiders imagine. They may look glamorous on the surface, but the relationship between husband and wife is mostly one of interest. After marriage, each of them has their own things to do. This is when the couples are well matched."
"If the woman is a Cinderella, then the wealthy are not stupid. Why would they marry a worthless woman? If she is valuable, she can create wealth on her own. Why would they rush to pay for her? Unequal status means no respect."
"So you think Mr. Xing's family background is too high?"
Jiang Qianxun's tone became more and more perfunctory: "It's about the same, but whether his family is rich or not has nothing to do with me. I just want to make money and raise children. What era is it now? Why do you always mention men?"
Letting go of her hair, Jiang Qianxun lowered her head, reached out to touch her slightly protruding belly, stepped out of the elevator, and continued to go to the next floor.
Aunt Lan couldn't see her expression and thought she was speaking the truth. She thought about it and followed her.
"That's true. Now is a new era, and women can be the masters of the family. Miss, you are financially independent now, so you can find a man who will obey you in everything and marry him. When the baby is born, it will be great for the family of four to live in harmony."
Jiang Qianxun was absent-minded and just hummed randomly.
When Aunt Lan saw her little girl nodded, it happened that in her square dance group, the lead dancer Sister Qin was sharing the daily life of her eldest son, so she had an idea.
