Chapter 105 It's not fate whether it's early or late
It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when Jiang Qilong and Duan Xiaohong returned home from the store. Jiang Tianhao heard the noise, walked out of the room, took out his mobile phone and pointed the comment to Jiang Qilong.
Jiang Qilong frowned while holding the phone, and after thinking for a while, he returned the phone to Jiang Tianhao.
"Don't pay any attention to them. They are just people who like to watch the fun and make trouble. From now on, just pretend you didn't see this kind of news."
"Fine"
Although Jiang Tianhao felt a little sorry, he didn't take it to heart.
Jiang Tianhao's family didn't care, but people who like to watch the fun always care about these things, especially when some things are related to romance. People kept asking who Deng Bancheng was under the account, and at this time someone would jump out to explain. The locals who saw the video and this comment couldn't help but take a look and leave the gossip they knew.
After all, Jiangjia Xiaochu is not an unknown company. It is also an old-established restaurant that has been operating in Jiangzhou for more than ten years, nearly twenty years. There is also Deng Bancheng, a famous figure in Jiangzhou. For a while, the video was filled with discussions from people in Jiangzhou.
Some people even went to Jiang Qilong's new store to inquire about gossip. At first, Jiang Qilong kept silent, but soon he realized that more and more people came, so he changed his tone. He didn't just keep silent, but stopped what he was doing and had an indescribable expression on his face. He wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and continued to work.
This expression and action greatly satisfied the curiosity and gossip of the people who came to join in the fun. Although they didn't hear any useful information, they had already imagined a business war from the boss's expression.
Those who come to join in the fun will certainly not just leave after satisfying their curiosity, but will go directly to the store to eat something. Many old customers also expressed their satisfaction and nostalgia for Jiang Qilong's cooking skills. After all, Jiang Qilong seldom cooks for himself after he became successful.
But Jiang Tianhao didn’t know all this. He had returned to school and was immersed in his studies.
Deng Xiaoqi, who did not go to school, was alone at home, flipping through the textbook in her hand. There were knowledge points marked for her by Qian Sanyi in the textbook, but she was not someone who could stand studying alone. After pretending to read the textbook for half an hour, Deng Xiaoqi threw the book away, jumped onto the bed and picked up her mobile phone.
In the past few days, she also discovered the short video software and opened it from time to time to kill time. But this time, Deng Xiaoqi was scrolling through the videos and saw a video. She glanced at it and it seemed to be an advertisement for a restaurant. She swiped away, but later she realized that the video seemed to have received tens of thousands of likes.
Videos with tens of thousands of likes are rare nowadays. Deng Xiaoqi's curiosity was immediately attracted. She slid her finger down and watched the video again. There was nothing strange about it after just watching it once, but she also found that this was the restaurant that Jiang Tianhao's family reopened after bankruptcy.
After clicking on the comment section, Deng Xiaoqi immediately understood why this video became so popular. The first video was about the behind-the-scenes news of the bankruptcy of Jiang Jia Xiao Chu, the owner of the account. There were also a group of people commenting below. Deng Xiaoqi even saw her mother's name in it.
Deng Xiaoqi frowned, a little unhappy, but she couldn't refute it, her mother was in this business, and she looked carefully at the comments below. Except for the person who asked the question at the beginning, the comments below were basically distorted.
: Is there also the story of Deng Bancheng in this? Tsk tsk, this person is everywhere
:Who is Deng Bancheng?
: Children, don’t ask questions blindly. If you don’t know, it means you are still young.
Deng Xiaoqi lay on the bed, turned off her cell phone, buried her face in the pillow and sighed deeply.
Soon she looked up again, opened the short video and uploaded a video of herself practicing dancing in the dance studio to her account. Deng Xiaoqi felt a little dissatisfied. Why could a video posted by Jiang Tianhao become popular, but she couldn't? She was so beautiful and good at dancing, why couldn't she become popular?
After posting the video, Deng Xiaoqi was nervous for a while, but after waiting for a long time without receiving any likes or comments, she had to turn off her phone in disappointment.
When it was time to get out of school, Lin Miaomiao rode her bike back home. When she opened the door, she found someone lying on the sofa. She walked over to take a look and found that it was Wang Shengnan.
Lin Miaomiao was a little surprised. Wang Shengnan had never gone to bed so early before. She walked lightly to the master bedroom and took a thin quilt to cover Wang Shengnan. It was already October and the temperature had turned cooler. If she slept for too long, she might catch a cold.
Although Lin Miaomiao's movements were very light, Wang Shengnan, who felt something was on her body, still raised her head and opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that it was Lin Miaomiao, she relaxed her body and lowered her head again. Her tone was full of fatigue and nasal.
"You're already out of school, how long have I slept?"
"I don't know. I saw you sleeping as soon as I walked in. Mom, are you too tired recently? How about taking a few days off?"
Lin Miaomiao sat next to Wang Shengnan, looked at her tired face, and offered a suggestion.
Wang Shengnan stood up holding the armrest of the sofa, shook her head, and walked towards the kitchen.
"I guess it's just my age. It's okay. I just need to adapt to it during this period of time."
Looking at Wang Shengnan's back, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh, and took the initiative to follow her into the kitchen and start helping.
Not long after, Lin Dawei also returned home. Seeing his old father looking vigorous and vigorous with shining eyes, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but speak to Wang Shengnan.
"Mom, look at my dad. He's so energetic. He doesn't look like a man who's almost fifty."
Wang Shengnan looked at Lin Dawei while eating and couldn't help but give him a blank look.
"Money feeds people, I guess your dad made money again."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't wrongly accuse me."
Lin Dawei was eating and frowning with dissatisfaction.
"I have transferred all the money I earned to you. I only have some money for daily expenses. If there is anyone to support, it should be you."
Wang Shengnan paused, her expression a little subtle, she took out her phone to check, and found that there were indeed some money coming in recently, she laughed twice and looked at Lin Dawei
"Okay, I blamed you wrongly. Maybe I've been feeling listless lately because I'm stressed out by your money."
"Okay, I know now, nothing I do is right"
Lin Dawei raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and looked resigned.
Lin Miaomiao watched her parents interact with a smile.
After dinner, Lin Miaomiao went downstairs to bring Yuwan and Laotie upstairs, and sat on the sofa to play with her mobile phone for a while. After Wang Shengnan finished her work, she sat next to Lin Miaomiao. Laotie, who was closer to Wang Shengnan, suddenly raised his head, stretched his head and sniffed Wang Shengnan, then quickly retracted his head, stood up and jumped onto Lin Miaomiao's legs.
Wang Shengnan saw Lao Tie like this and said helplessly:
"It seems that I am not in good spirits. Even the kittens don't want to get close to me. I really need to find some time to rest."
Laotie and Yuwan no longer need Wang Shengnan to look after them from time to time, but when they first came to this family, Wang Shengnan visited them almost three times a day, just like she was looking after her own grandchildren. Laotie and Yuwan also trusted her very much, and this was the first time that she had directly avoided them like this.
Hearing Wang Shengnan's words, Lin Miaomiao took her attention away from her phone and looked at Wang Shengnan with a serious expression.
"Mom, I think you should go get checked out. Cats and dogs are pets that can smell if there's something wrong with us. For example, when I had menstrual cramps before, Yuwan and Laotie didn't want to get close to me."
"What did you name your cat?"
Although a long time has passed, Wang Shengnan still dislikes the naming ability of the two children, but she still has some doubts about what Lin Miaomiao said.
"It's not that serious. I guess there are just too many things to do during the summer vacation, so I don't have enough energy for the new semester."
"I think, Shengnan, you should go and take a look." Lin Dawei walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiping his hair and looking at Wang Shengnan
"I make money to make your lives better, don't I? If you feel unwell, go see a doctor. If the hospital doesn't work, go see a Chinese doctor. They are experts in replenishing energy and spirit. I guess you have too many things to do recently and you are a little tired. It doesn't cost much to get a check-up now. We all have medical insurance. You can find time to go see a doctor tomorrow."
"Fine"
Since the man of the house said so, Wang Shengnan added a visit to the hospital for a check-up to her plan for tomorrow. Although she didn't think it was a big deal, she was indeed in an uncomfortable state. She was a physical education teacher, and if she continued like this, she would really become the physical education teacher who was always in poor health in the eyes of those teachers.
The next day at noon, Wang Shengnan drove to the hospital and made an appointment with the endocrinology department. After waiting for a short time, Wang Shengnan arrived at the clinic. The doctor couldn't help but push his glasses when he saw her and asked:
"How old are you?"
"Hmm? Me? I'm 46 years old this year."
“Oh, that’s pretty impressive.”
The doctor complimented her in an ambiguous way. Wang Shengnan didn't quite understand what was going on, but the doctor had already started asking questions. When he was almost done, the doctor asked Wang Shengnan to stretch out her hand. Wang Shengnan dazedly stretched out her hand to watch the doctor feel her pulse. She didn't expect the doctor to have this skill. Not long after, the doctor withdrew his hand and looked at Wang Shengnan with a smile.
"First of all, I am 90% sure that you are pregnant."
"pregnant???"
Wang Shengnan was shocked. She was already 46 years old, how could she be pregnant?
The doctor also understood her feelings and waited until she calmed down before continuing.
"All of your symptoms are signs of pregnancy. At your age, you must have had children. You should be familiar with them."
“Now that I think about it, it’s a bit familiar.”
Wang Shengnan's mind was in a mess. Her reaction during this period was indeed the same as when she was pregnant with Miaomiao, but she was already 46 years old.
"The fetus is still a little small, so it's not easy to do other tests. Go back and test it with test strips first, and then wait two weeks to do an ultrasound. You are indeed a little old at this age, so you should pay attention to your daily life."
The doctor's words were still ringing in Wang Shengnan's ears. She walked out of the hospital with a blank mind and headed towards the parking lot, but was stopped by a security guard.
"Hey, ma'am, please wait a minute before driving. You're not in good condition."
Wang Shengnan stood silently with the security guard, staring straight ahead with her eyes, but her eyes were clearly unfocused.
The security guard thought she was in a state of shock when he saw her like this, and whispered to her:
"Life is nothing big, just relax"
After hearing what the security guard said, Wang Shengnan came back to her senses and explained in a somewhat amusing way:
"I'm fine, I'm just pregnant"
“Oh, this is a happy event.”
When the security guard heard this, he immediately gave up the bench under him and let Wang Shengnan sit on it.
Wang Shengnan sat down a little embarrassedly, touching her belly and feeling a little sad.
"I'm almost fifty, how come I'm pregnant at this time?"
"This is fate. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."
The hospital security guard had seen similar scenes many times, and his words actually made some sense. Wang Shengnan came back to her senses, stood up and thanked the security guard.
"Thank you, I'll go back first."
Seeing that Wang Shengnan's attention had returned, the security guard didn't say much and waved goodbye to Wang Shengnan.
After getting in the car, Wang Shengnan pulled the seat belt and was about to put it down when she remembered something. She silently pulled the seat belt towards her upper body and moved the seat back. The car speed was much slower than usual.
Just as Wang Shengnan's car left the hospital parking lot, two people got out of another car.
Lili held Qian Yukun's arm, with a smile on her face that she tried hard to suppress but still couldn't suppress. Qian Yukun's expression was ambiguous.
When Lili got the test report showing that she was really pregnant, Qian Yukun frowned deeply.
Sitting back in the car, Qian Yukun looked at Lili in the rearview mirror with an unhappy tone.
"Didn't you take the medicine I bought for you?"
“I forgot a few times.”
Lili looked at the scenery outside the window with a guilty tone. She did it on purpose. Seeing that Qian Sanyi held such an important position in Qian Yukun's heart, she would definitely have some other ideas, such as using the child to tie Qian Yukun down.
But when Qian Yukun heard Lili's reason, he made an impatient "tsk" sound. This reminded him of how his son was set up by that girl. He never expected that the same thing would happen to him.
After returning to his villa, Qian Yukun went straight upstairs to the safe, took out some cash, randomly selected some and handed it to Lili.
The happy expression on Lili's face froze. She originally thought Qian Yukun was going to get the household registration booklet. When she saw the money Qian Yukun handed over, her tone became complicated.
"What do you mean?"
"Take the money, beat the kid, and never show up in front of me again"
After saying that, Qian Yukun put the money on the coffee table, without even looking at Lili's reaction, he walked out of the villa, got in the car and drove away.
Wang Shengnan returned home thinking about things and went to the bathroom immediately to take out the pregnancy test stick she had just bought.
Not long after, Wang Shengnan looked at the two bars on the pregnancy test stick with a very complicated expression.
Leaning back on the sofa with her eyes closed, Wang Shengnan silently calculated the time. She is 46 this year and 47 next year. If the child is born and grows up to be 18 years old, she will be 65. She has been retired for several years. Besides, she does not stop raising a child after he turns 18. University tuition and living expenses also cost money. She will have to be in her twenties at least, which means she will be 70 years old.
Besides, Miaomiao will go to college next year, which means another four years of expenses. I can’t go to work yet and have to rely on Lin Dawei. How many more years can Dawei be busy?
In the end, will all the pressure of this child be placed on Miaomiao? Thinking of this, Wang Shengnan took a deep breath. Miaomiao was not the dominant party towards Xiaoyu. If Miaomiao was burdened with more, even though Xiaoyu would not say it, what would he think in his heart?
Thinking about things, Wang Shengnan closed her eyes and waited for Lin Dawei to come home.
