1256 Rare Things Are Very Expensive
Happy birthday?
Jian Changsheng leaned against the bed frame and thought about it in surprise. Yesterday was…
It was Meizi’s birthday!
Jian Changsheng’s heart thumped, and all the hair on his body stood up.
He looked up and saw that Qiao Shuyi had already left the room with the bowl.
Jian Changsheng heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shuyi didn’t notice anything.
He held his forehead in frustration. He almost revealed the secret he had hidden for many years when he was drunk.
He naturally could not let Qiao Shuyi know about this. Jian Changsheng thought so to protect Qiao Shuyi. She loved him wholeheartedly, and Jian Changsheng knew he was Qiao Shuyi’s everything. If Qiao Shuyi knew that he had given birth to two children with someone else, she would break down.
Alcohol was harmful. Jian Changsheng rubbed his temples and thought he couldn’t let himself be like this anymore.
If he accidentally said it one day, not only would his family be affected, but it would also implicate Meizi and the two children’s peaceful lives.
He had already been a bastard once. He could not hurt Meizi again.
Outside the door, Qiao Shuyi stood in the corridor for a moment before leaving expressionlessly.
…
Over the past few days, dark clouds had hovered over the Wang family. The old couple had frowns on their faces. In the beginning, they could pretend that nothing had happened, but as the days passed, both thought about Wang Yunfa and couldn’t pretend to smile anymore.
The old man sat on the stone bench outside the villa and smoked a cigarette. His figure was bleak, and he had lost a lot of weight.
The old lady had a worried expression on her face. She stood on the stone steps outside the villa and looked at something. From time to time, she would sigh.
Since there was no further progress, they had no other choice. Be it the police station or Wang Yunzhong, they told them to wait for news.
Helpless, she could only wait. Nothing happened. Days passed quickly.
At this moment, a taxi slowly drove over from afar and stopped at the entrance of Wang Yunzhong’s house.
The old man and the old lady looked over at the same time and saw the car door open. A bloated figure slowly alighted from the backseat.
Li Xia dragged her stomach. Just getting out of the car made her sweat profusely.
“Xia!”
Seeing that it was Li Xia, the old lady came back to her senses and quickly went up to her. She couldn’t help but say worriedly, “Why are you here with a stomach?”
“Mom, I’m just thinking about Yunfa. I wanted to come over and discuss with you what to do,” Li Xia said.
The old man also put out his cigarette and stood up to walk over. When he heard Li Xia’s words, he couldn’t help but say slowly, “You’re pregnant, so don’t go around. We’ll think of a way regarding Yunfa. Don’t worry.”
“How can I not worry?!” Li Xia sighed. “It’s been so long, but there’s still no news. Is the other party awake? If they are, I think we have to go again and plead for leniency.”
The old lady quickly nodded. “Yes, I think so too. I’m just waiting for news. Your brother left them his phone number and said they would contact us once they’ve decided.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she helped Li Xia into the villa. “Let’s talk inside. It’s cold outside.”
As Li Xia walked in, she said, “Mom, we can’t just wait for them to contact us at this time. We’re too passive. We still have to take the initiative. In my opinion, let’s look again when we have time.”
In the room, Xu Qianqian was coming out of the bedroom on the second floor when she vaguely heard the door open and voices. She couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.
When she listened carefully, she realized that Yunfa’s wife was there. Xu Qianqian couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Because Wang Yunfa and his wife didn’t contribute when they got married, Xu Qianqian still held a grudge and didn’t have a good impression of them.
In the living room, the old lady carefully helped Li Xia to sit on the sofa. She gently touched her stomach and said with concern, “Your stomach is getting bigger. You have to be careful. You can’t lack people around you.”
“Mom, I’m fine. I’m staying at my maternal family’s house now. My mother is taking good care of me. Don’t worry about me. The most important thing now is Yunfa,” Li Xia said.
At the mention of Wang Yunfa, the old lady couldn’t help but sigh. “Sigh, what’s the use of being anxious? The police station already said that they wanted us to wait for news.”
She had mentioned more than once that she wanted to go to the hospital to look, but Wang Yunzhong stopped her. He said that he was afraid that Wang Dapeng was not awake yet. If they went now, it would only make the other party’s family even angrier.
“Xia, your brother has already found someone to ask around at the hospital.” At this moment, the old man said, “He said that as long as Wang Dapeng wakes up, we’ll go again. Don’t be too anxious. Your brother is working hard and hasn’t forgotten about this.”
“Yes, yes. He’s still thinking about it. Don’t worry,” the old lady comforted her.
Li Xia nodded slightly and swept her gaze across the huge villa. The last time she came here, Wang Yunzhong and Jiang Chunfen had not divorced. This time, they had already changed the female owner.
“Where’s Sister-in-law?” Li Xia asked casually. In fact, she was a little dissatisfied. She was pregnant, but the other party did not even show her face?
When the old lady heard this, she quickly said, “Your sister-in-law is upstairs. She’s also pregnant. She rarely goes downstairs and just lies upstairs. She sleeps a lot, so she’s probably asleep now.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady changed the topic and asked Li Xia with concern, “Xia, you’re hungry, right? Your brother bought bird’s nest for your sister-in-law in the kitchen. Mom will get you a serving, okay? Your sister-in-law is picky and doesn’t like to eat that!”
“Bird’s nest?” Li Xia’s eyes lit up. “That’s a high-level thing. I heard it’s expensive.”
“That’s right.” The old lady smiled and said, “But your sister-in-law doesn’t eat it. She only ate it twice after buying it. She’s not eating anymore. Mom will get you a serving. That bird’s nest doesn’t taste good. Mom will put some sugar in it for you.”
Li Xia nodded repeatedly. “Alright, thank you, Mom.”
The old lady went to the kitchen.
Only Li Xia and the old man were left in the living room. Seeing that the old man lost weight, Li Xia couldn’t help but worry. “Dad, I haven’t seen you for only a few days. Look at how thin you are. You have to take care of your body.”
“I’m thinking about this matter, so I can’t eat well or sleep well. I should lose weight,” the old man said calmly as if he didn’t care about his body.
As he spoke, the old man couldn’t help but sigh deeply again. He said to Li Xia, “Xia, your mother and I are old, but Yunfa doesn’t seem to grow up. Our bodies can’t withstand his torture.”
