Shen Fanxing covered her mouth and smiled. “Don’t only care about me. The child in your stomach is my son-in-law. He’ll serve me with good food and drinks. He won’t weigh more than eight kilograms. I’ll take whatever you lack.”
“Eight pounds?!”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes widened. “That will kill me!”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and said, “Then I’ll get it from you.”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and said, “You can have whatever you want, so I don’t have to lose weight.”
After a pause, she said, “By the way, how’s Aunt Mian’s rehabilitation? Is she better than two days ago?”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “I saw her from afar yesterday. She seems much better than before. I’ll go and take a look tomorrow. She’s working hard…”
At this point, Shen Fanxing’s heart ached.
Because of the accident last time, Ji Fengmian didn’t agree to let her accompany her for rehabilitation.
Every time, Shen Fanxing would watch from afar.
Rehabilitation was a painful experience that no one else could experience.
For ordinary people, walking was a normal thing.
To Ji Fengmian, just standing up had exhausted all her energy.
Every time she saw her standing there after spending more than ten minutes, her clothes were almost completely drenched. She couldn’t help but feel sad.
This was more than just hard work.
“I want to see your grandmother healthily. I want to stand beside you at your coronation! Most importantly, I want to take care of my two grandsons. If I’m not healthy, their lives will be much less fun. I won’t let them have any regrets.”
These words came from Ji Fengmian’s heart the last time she was in the hospital.
Ji Fengmian wasn’t good at expressing his true feelings, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t.
When all actions could not prove her love for her, words were the clumsiest and most direct thing.
“So Fanxing, you have to be well. This way, all my efforts will be worth it.”
When Ji Fengmian said these words back then, her simple words were a little pale. She could see the embarrassment and discomfort she felt back then.
But she could feel the strong feelings from her mother.
Xu Qingzhi could sense Shen Fanxing’s silence.
“Aunt Mian is stronger than any woman. I’ve known since I was young that she will do whatever she wants! So you don’t have to worry too much. Everything will be fine.”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and smiled faintly. “I know. Don’t be too busy. Don’t forget that you’re pregnant now…”
Xu Qingzhi paused and her eyes flashed. “Of course I know. I’m not busy every day. Isn’t it all because of you that the company’s orders increased? I’m happy when I’m busy! That’s money. It’s enough for my son to grow up to 18 years old!”
Shen Fanxing smiled and shook her head.
“Alright, just confirm that my daughter-in-law is healthy! I won’t chat with you anymore. There’s a meeting later. Bye!”
“Okay, bye.”
She was used to Xu Qingzhi’s haste and decisiveness. The two of them said goodbye and hung up.
Lou Ruoyi had already finished her call and walked over.
“It’s your friend again?”
“Yeah.”
Shen Fanxing answered with a smile.
Lou Ruoyi sat down and said, “Not bad. It’s good to have a friend. She’s even pregnant. How nice.”
“Yes.” Shen Fanxing nodded.
During her most difficult times, Xu Qingzhi’s existence was almost her salvation.
Lou Ruoyi felt lucky for Shen Fanxing and patted her leg. Suddenly, her eyes darted around and she said,
“Does your mother still have to undergo rehabilitation in the afternoon? What else does she like to eat? Tell me, let’s continue to torture her!”
At the mention of this, Shen Fanxing looked uncomfortable.
“I really can’t think of anything else. I’ve told you everything I need to. She doesn’t seem to be picky about food. Just something light will do.”
When Lou Ruoyi heard that, she stood up and said, “Then I’ll go online to check if there’s anything delicious! I don’t believe that I can’t win her heart!”
Shen Fanxing gaped at her back, but before she could say anything, Lou Ruoyi had disappeared.
As the saying goes, if you want to capture someone’s heart, you have to capture their stomach first.
Lou Ruoyi had completely learned the essence of this sentence.
During her mother’s rehabilitation, Lou Ruoyi went to visit her almost every day.
However, her mother had always been cold to her and did not fall for her tricks.
Her mother hadn’t even tasted the dishes she had cooked.
She also knew that her mother didn’t really want to be cold to her mother-in-law. It was all because of Old Master’s belittling that she wanted to regain some status in the Bo family.
Lou Ruoyi was magnanimous. Not only did she not complain about her mother’s coldness, but she also became braver.
Except…
–
The next day, after eating the dishes prepared by the servants, Lou Ruoyi waved her hand and chased everyone out of the kitchen.
Not long after, various sounds rang out in the kitchen.
With Auntie Zhang taking the lead, the servants stood in front of the kitchen and listened to the sounds coming from inside. Everyone had their eyes closed as they imagined what the kitchen was like now.
However, no one dared to stop him.
It wasn’t like they hadn’t tried to stop her before. In the end, she was chased out.
Shen Fanxing looked at the helpless expressions of the servants and pursed her lips. After some thought, she opened the kitchen door.
At this moment, Lou Ruoyi was standing in front of the glass counter, waving the bone cleaver in her hand at a plucked white chicken.
Unless they saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t be able to sense that aura.
It was no different from killing an enemy.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned around abruptly and raised the machete in her hand. She looked at Shen Fanxing and paused.
She walked over, holding a chicken in her left hand and a knife in her right.
“Why did you come in? Get out! Is this a place you can come?”
Looking at the machete in her hand, Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but take two steps back.
“I think… I can help you…”
Lou Ruoyi waved the knife in her hand. This time, she seemed to have noticed the knife in her hand and hurriedly put it away.
“There’s nothing to help. I can do it myself!”
“But…”
Lou Ruoyi pushed Shen Fanxing away and stuffed an apple into her arms.
“Go and eat!”
