1241 Don’t Worry at All
“Oh!”
When he heard that he would have to suffer, w.a.n.g Zichen couldn’t help but answer resentfully. He muttered, “I was just asking.”
“My brother can’t take hards.h.i.+p,” w.a.n.g Zimeng exposed him without saving face.
Even without her saying it, others knew that w.a.n.g Zichen had never had to worry about food or clothing since he was young. The w.a.n.g family doted on him, so he had never suffered.
“It’s not entirely a matter of whether or not he can suffer hards.h.i.+p.” Jian Ai looked at w.a.n.g Zichen and said, “You’re going to university soon. If you get into a university in another city, you won’t be able to learn martial arts.”
!!“I didn’t say that I wanted to learn,” w.a.n.g Zichen emphasized again.
Jian Ai chuckled, but she could tell that w.a.n.g Zichen was stubborn.
He must have seen how powerful Qi Wei or her was and wanted to learn martial arts. However, he was afraid of suffering and did not want to hurt his self-esteem, so he kept emphasizing that he did not want to learn.
It was so awkward. If he wanted to learn, he could say so. Why wouldn’t he dare to admit it?
Not caring about w.a.n.g Zichen anymore, Jian Ai and w.a.n.g Zimeng walked to the side and talked.
w.a.n.g Yunmei, w.a.n.g Yunzhi, and Jiang Chunfen were busy making dumplings in the kitchen. Because it was the birthday party tonight, everyone was here at noon today. Therefore, they thought it was faster to make dumplings. It would take too much time to cook dishes.
w.a.n.g Yunmei made the filling while w.a.n.g Yunzhi and Jiang Chunfen made the dough. Wu Shaoqi didn’t idle either. He sat in a kitchen corner and peeled garlic. Everyone was busy chatting.
“Sister-in-law, I heard from Zhi that Zichen already saw Vice President Qiao?” w.a.n.g Yunmei looked up at Jiang Chunfen and asked.
Jiang Chunfen had a smile on her face as she nodded and answered, “Oh, he saw Qiao Yuan the first night he came over to my house. I didn’t know.”
“Ah?” w.a.n.g Yunmei was slightly surprised. “This child went to see him behind your back? How did he know that there was such a person as Vice President Qiao?”
Jiang Chunfen thought for a moment and smiled. “That day, Zichen just moved over from your brother’s place. He said that he would take Zimeng out to play tonight. I thought it had been a long time since the siblings went out to play, so I didn’t stop them.”
“In the end, they didn’t come back for the entire night. Qiao Yuan sent them back the next day. I think Zimeng couldn’t control her mouth and told her brother. Then, the two of them went to Qiao Yuan’s place to play.”
“That’s a good relations.h.i.+p. It saves you the trouble of opening your mouth.” w.a.n.g Yunmei smiled. “You were still conflicted about this before.”
“That’s right. Perhaps I’m overthinking…” Jiang Chunfen couldn’t help but stop what she was doing and sigh. “I’m especially afraid that Zichen won’t be able to accept it with his personality. He moved out of your brother’s place because he couldn’t get along with that woman, so he moved to mine.”
“That day, Qiao Yuan said that he was at his place. It shocked me.”
“But it’s strange. Qiao Yuan can handle anything. Now, Zichen has to go to Qiao Yuan’s place to play every few days. Otherwise, he’ll chase after me and ask when Uncle Qiao will come to our house to play. They’re so close!”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but laugh. w.a.n.g Yunzhi said, “Vice President Qiao is a capable person. Zichen is a child, after all. Vice President Qiao must have found the right method.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei nodded as well. “That’s good. You don’t have to worry at all. The two of them can communicate in private.”
“It’s none of my business. I think Zichen is even closer to Qiao Yuan than to me now,” Jiang Chunfen said with a helpless smile.
…
City Center Hospital, Gynecology and Obstetrics Department.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong and the old lady sat on a bench in the corridor, protecting Xu Qianqian in the middle.
People went back and forth in the hospital, making them dizzy.
The benches were filled with people, and there was a long queue. Two or three people had to follow a pregnant woman. It was the weekend, and there were especially many people who had a prenatal examination.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong was wearing a suit and holding a briefcase. From time to time, he would look down at his watch, looking anxious.
“What’s wrong, Hubby? Is something the matter with the company?” Xu Qianqian felt w.a.n.g Yunzhong’s abnormality and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong quickly shook his head. “I’m fine. It’s fine.”
He had promised Xu Qianqian to accompany her to the prenatal examination today. In the morning, he specially said that the company was fine, so there was naturally no chance to go back on his word.
However, w.a.n.g Yunzhong didn’t expect there to be so many people for the prenatal examination today. They were considered early. They had been queuing for three hours, but they weren’t seen yet.
He had something on his mind. It was w.a.n.g Yunmei’s birthday today, and he needed to transfer the gifts he had bought. He still needed to get them!
“I see you’ve been looking at the time. You seem very impatient,” Xu Qianqian said.
“No, I just waited for too long. I feel suffocated.” w.a.n.g Yunzhong hid it and stood up. “I’ll go to the corridor to smoke.”
Xu Qianqian didn’t think too much about it and nodded gently. Just as w.a.n.g Yunzhong was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from the nurse’s desk. “Next, Xu Qianqian!”
Finally, Xu Qianqian’s name was called. w.a.n.g Yunzhong paused and quickly helped Xu Qianqian up. “It’s our turn!”
“Alright, don’t follow me. My stomach isn’t big yet. I’ll go in myself. Wait outside with Mom. Follow me when we look at the photos later,” Xu Qianqian said.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong nodded repeatedly. The old lady, who had planned to follow them in, said, “Be careful, Qianqian.”
When Xu Qianqian entered the prenatal examination room, the old lady couldn’t help but slap w.a.n.g Yunzhong with her fist, scaring him. “What are you doing, Mom?!”
“Look at how distracted you are. Qianqian looked at you a few times. What’s the matter?” The old lady was w.a.n.g Yunzhong’s mother, after all. His performance over the past few hours naturally couldn’t escape the old lady’s eyes.
“What can happen? I’m just a little annoyed from waiting!” w.a.n.g Yunzhong explained casually.
“Even if you’re upset, you can’t show it. This is the first time Qianqian asked you to accompany her for a prenatal examination, but you’re already upset. What about in the future? You have to come for this prenatal examination every month. Don’t make her angry!” the old lady reprimanded.
“Also, about Yunfa, didn’t you give fifty thousand yuan to the other party?” The old lady suddenly changed the topic.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong was stunned and nodded. “What’s wrong? Qianqian asked you?”
“She didn’t ask directly!” The old lady said, “But she was trying to get information from me. She wanted to know if you were paying.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady looked at w.a.n.g Yunzhong seriously and instructed, “I’m going to say this. I told her that your father and I paid for this money. Don’t expose me!”
“How would I dare? Qianqian already warned me. She told me clearly that I could help, but I can’t fork out money. I already promised her!” w.a.n.g Yunzhong said, “So you’re right to say that. Otherwise, she’ll cause trouble for me again!”
“That’s good. I was afraid that you would expose me again!” the old lady muttered.
