“My good treasure, as mommy sees it, the baby you are carrying in your belly should have a good temperament in the future, won’t be too naughty, and will be just as thoughtful as you are.” Lu Wanwan’s mother touched her belly and sighed with emotions coming from the bottom of her heart.
Lu Wanwan smiled brightly: “Yes, the baby will be just like me, obedient and thoughtful, and won’t be clingy!”
Lu Wanwan’s father, who was sitting beside them, was simply listening, absolutely embarrassed. If the child already looked like someone, then he looked like Shen Yi.
Chapter 105
(42.2)
After three months, Lu Wanwan’s belly was getting bigger by the day, but her silhouette remained very thin. Lu Wanwan’s mother could not help but cry every time she looked at her: “It’s hard to carry a child and give birth, originally mom didn’t approve of you getting pregnant so early, now you’re already pregnant, it can’t be helped.”
Lu Wanwan placed her hand on her stomach, rubbed it, and said with a smile, “Mom, I quite like children.”
“Wait until the child start moving around, when you’ll be suffering, you may not necessarily be able to say such words.”
Her mother told her her story as an example, “When I was pregnant with your brother, he was like a debt collector, he did not eat well, did not sleep well, and refused to come out when I was about to give birth. He really angered me to death!”
Lu Wanwan’s father yanked her arm and said, “Don’t tell her these stories, you’ll scare her!”
The Lu mother retorted back: “What? What is wrong with what I said? You men just don’t know how to cherish people, giving birth to a child is already a tormenting matter, and you still won’t let me tell her.”
The Lu mother went on to say, with tears in her eyes, “I really don’t want my sweet baby to suffer this kind of pain at such a young age. Back then, wasn’t staying home and enjoying being a happy little princess every day not good?”
She reached out and touched Lu Wanwan’s face, full of heartache, “The day Wanwan just came back home, her face was all white, her body was thin without much flesh, as a mother, how could I not be heartbroken? Now that she’s home, mom will definitely raise my baby to be white and plump.”
Lu Wanwan moved closer to her mother. Her little mouth was very sweet as she said: “I love you, mom.”
The sweet and honeyed words really made Lu Wanwan’s mother happy.
The Lu mother immediately took out a card, stuffed it into her hand, with an imposing air, she said: “Didn’t you say before you wanted to pass the driving test ? When you get your driver’s license, use the money in this card to buy a better car, don’t look for cars that cost below five million. Consider it as a gift from your mother.”
Lu Wanwan sweetly accepted the bank card and smiled: “Thank you, Mom.”
Lu Zhouzhi, who was sitting across the table with his legs crossed, excitedly playing games with his head down, immediately raised his head after hearing about the five million. His gleaming gaze kept staring at them.
His eyes seemed to be glowing with light, he opened his mouth and just uttered the first word: “Mom ……”
The Lu mother sneered and rolled her eyes: “Don’t even dream about it, if your results for next month’s midterm exam are less than eighty percent, I’ll stop giving you your pitiful share of pocket money.”
What kind of son she had, the Lu mother knew it too well.
Lu Zhouzhi jumped up, hugged his mother’s leg, following the example as he said, “I love you too, mom!”
The Lu mother was unmoved. She coldly replied: “Oh, I got it.”
Lu Wanwan was so amused by her brother, she burst out in laughter.
Lu Zhouzhi huffed and puffed as he sat aside, “Mom, you are being partial.”
The Lu mother glanced at him and replied naturally, “My silly son, the fact that I am partial to your sister, you’re just seeing it now?”
Daughters need to grow up being spoiled.
As for sons, naturally, raising them casually is enough.
***
For Lu Wanwan’s pregnancy, it was a matter of course to invite relatives to have dinner. All the distant relatives with whom the Lu family wasn’t too close with before also came up to offer gifts, and appeared at their door for a visit.
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face.
No matter how annoyed the Lu mother was about entertaining these people, she still could not show them an ugly face. Not only she had to be pleasant and smile, but she also had to keep them for dinner.
The Lu mother was surprised to see the aunts and uncles who used to despise their family’s nouveau rich smell run over here particularly quickly.
The Lu father understood very clearly, these people were here for Shen Yi, thus they were thinking of getting back in touch with their family, just so that they could borrow some of the Shen family’s success.
When the pregnancy was past three months, the family was planning to host a banquet.
The Lu mother invited a table of guests. The Lu father and Lu Zhouzhi drank until they were drunk, the old and the young, both had burning hot cheeks as well as red necks.
From the beginning to the end, Shen Yi almost never spoke a word, he remained quiet, with a low presence. Lu Wanwan stole a small sip of rice wine behind his back. When she had eaten and drunk enough and did not feel like moving anymore, she lazily leaned on his body, as if there was no one else around.
When Lu Wanwan was bored, she liked to fiddle with Shen Yi’s fingers, she would pry them apart and look at them left and right and would only stop when she had played enough.
After they had finished eating dinner, Shen Yi carried Lu Wanwan back to the room.
Downstairs, the Lu mother still had to entertain the relatives who did not leave. Everybody loved to hear words of flattery.
In the rich and influential world, worshiping the high and stepping on the low was a normal behavior.
“Qin Min, you’re really blessed with good fortune, you have both a son and a daughter, and you even have such a good son-in-law, not only is your life good, but your eyes are also very discerning ah.”
“Yes, Qin Min has the best discerning eyes among our group. I sadly wondered why Wanwan had married an ordinary boy, if it were my daughter, I would have drove him out back then. ”
