"I'm fine." He pressed the button and the screen went black. He put it back in his pocket and asked, "Now, where are we going?"
As he spoke, he stuttered for the first time in his life. His voice was still slightly trembling, and the astonished expression on his face had yet to completely disappear.
Stunned, I looked at his face, which had regained its calm, and said with understanding, "It's all right, business is more important. You can go first. "
Looking at his hurrying back, I felt uneasy.
Although he looked unaffected, my intuition told me that something had happened.
Returning to Garden, Shen Yiru and the others had just started eating. Knowing that I had not eaten, Liu Sao brought me a bowl of food.
Just as I picked up my chopsticks, Shen Yiru suddenly asked me, "How was the test?"
My hand stopped moving and I looked at Liu Sao. Liu Sao awkwardly smiled at me. She knew that she had told Shen Yiru.
"Reported to be 2 days later." I tell the truth.
Shen Yiru frowned slightly in impatience. It was obvious that she couldn't wait to know the result.
"Check what?" Lou Anqi asked curiously.
"Pre-pregnancy test." There's nothing to hide, I told her.
"Oh ~" Lou Anqi nodded as she understood what I meant, and then said unfairly for me. "Hey, Auntie, you're being too impatient! How long have Sister Xiao Ying and Brother Shao Tang been married for? Why would they have children so early in the morning?
After she finished speaking, I immediately looked towards Shen Yiru. As expected, her face darkened, "Your Brother Shao Tang is already at 31, you're still young?"
"A man with 30 flowers!" Lou Anqi ignored Shen Yiru's displeasure and ridiculed him.
I wanted to laugh, but I held back and pretended to be calm.
Shen Yiru said unhappily: "Then tell your brother not to be in a hurry to live too."
Lou Anqi, whose heart was at a loss, did not realize that Shen Yiru was rushing towards her, and chirped: "It's not like my brother is born. He and Yvonne are sleeping in separate rooms."
Shen Yiru was not surprised. This matter was not a secret and the entire Lou Family knew about it. The corner of her mouth curved into a very faint smile.
"An Qi, don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing Lou Anqi's words, Yvonne immediately walked over to the dining table and glared at me out of habit. "Hugo has been busy lately, I didn't sleep with him until I was afraid to disturb him." She pulled out the chair that belonged to her and sat down.
Lou Anqi shrugged her shoulders noncommittally. It was obvious that she didn't believe it. She immediately continued, "Isn't Brother Shao Tang even busier? Isn't he always hanging out with Sister Xiao Ying?"
"I will, Mom." Yvonne nodded obediently. She looked at me as if she was afraid I would expose her lies.
I smirked. I won't expose her, it's not for the sake of giving her face, but because of Qiao Chenfei's self-esteem, so that Lou Family won't know about the stains on his body.
However, talking about Yvonne and Xia Peiyun, the two of them were rather interesting. Xia Peiyun did not know Yvonne's true identity and thought that she was a descendant of a French noble family. As for Yvonne, because she loved Qiao Chenfei a lot, she did not treat this mother-in-law as arrogantly as she did others.
"But even though Xiao Fei is busy, don't keep sleeping in separate rooms with him." Xia Peiyun advised again, as she picked up a pork chop and put it into Yvonne's bowl, "This will affect your relationship with her after a long time. Furthermore, you have been married for such a long time, so Xiao Fei is not young anymore.
Yvonne's face stiffened and her smile turned awkward.
At this time, the old man coughed, looked at Yvonne and me, and said, "Both of you should hurry. I still have to say that if anyone wants to obtain the fourth generation of our Lou Family, I will gift them the two buildings of 'Tianyue City' and the child will also receive an 8% share of my 'Tianyue'. "
He listened to the old man's solemn reposition, and it was even more serious than the previous 5%. Xia Peiyun's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and said to the old man: "Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely make Yvonne make the most of it." He winked at Yvonne.
Unlike Xia Peiyun who was excited, Shen Yiru was indifferent and calm. She respectfully smiled at the old man and said, "Father, it is their duty to open a branch and scatter the leaves on Lou Family. You do not need to use the shares as a reward."
As expected of the Queen Chang Sheng of the Wealthy Class, her words were too beautiful, directly setting Xia Peiyun's eyes on the money.
I really "admire" her scheming.
After what happened with Lou Lou the last time, she took the initiative to apologize to the old man. She said that she really wanted the next generation too much so that she would make a mistake. Because the old man's vision was the same as hers, she didn't blame her in the slightest. Instead, she comforted her.
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. "Dad isn't called a reward, he's just encouraging." Afraid that Shen Yiru's words would cause the old man to change her mind, Xia Peiyun immediately refuted Shen Yiru.
Stupid!
I scolded her in my mind.
Shen Yiru had said this because she knew that the Old Master would not change his decision. She wanted more shares of "Tianyue" than anyone else. However, if she said this, the old tutor would feel that she was magnanimous and that she wasn't doing things for the sake of money. He would thus trust and respect her even more.
If it was in the past, I would definitely despise her for her scheming mind. But this time, it is not so, because she is doing it for Lou Shaotang.
I sighed, and the pressure in my heart increased. Not only was it a matter of making a child, but it was also a matter of staying in this wealthy family that was as deep as the sea. Although married three years ago, but then was a free state, did not melt into the family, now live with them in real life, deeply understand what it is to fight over and over again.
After I ate, Shen Yiru called me into her room.
"You must have heard what the old man said." She sat on the sofa and looked at me in displeasure, then warned, "Whether or not you can help Shao Tang strengthen his position, will depend on your stomach. If my second and third brothers were to snatch it away first, I will definitely not let you off! "
I had already tolerated her, but she was still taking things a step further. I was so angry that I couldn't hold it in any longer and choked her, "Mom, it's so interesting to hear you warn me like this every day. I can't bear it, but I still can't!"
It probably had been a long time since he received my grudge, Shen Yiru was surprised for a moment before standing up from the bed. Tu Ying, if you think what I said to you last time was a joke, try it! "
I'm afraid of her threats? Heh ~
"Whatever."
I slammed the door and went out to the garden to get some fresh air. After sitting in the pavilion for half a day, his chest still felt very stuffy, so he called Lou Shaotang. He wanted to ask him when he would return, and when he would be able to go out to eat and relieve the pressure.
He thought that it would be like usual, Lou Shaotang would only ring once before answering. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Curious, I was about to hang up when the phone rang.
"Wife." He was used to calling me first when he picked me up.
When I heard his voice, most of the gloom in my heart dissipated. I asked, "Hubby, when are you coming back?"
"I have a party tonight, so I might be late."
He was hesitating, and I asked uncertainly, "Are you having trouble speaking now?"
"Yes." He said a simple word and gave no further explanation. Thinking that he might be in a meeting or meeting a client, he didn't bother and said, "Okay." He was instructed: "Don't be late for the party, drink less wine and let Qin Lang block it for you."
"Alright." He replied with a warm smile, telling me, "Don't wait for me either, go to sleep early. And don't forget to drink milk and vitamin pills. If you're hungry, ask Liu Sao to cook supper. Don't go to sleep hungry, understand? "
After listening to his gentle and considerate advice, my heart warmed and I happily replied, "Alright, I understand."
After hanging up, just as I put my phone back into my pocket, a scornful sneer comes from the back of my neck.
