After Xiao Hongwei confirmed this fact, the living room of Cangwu District fell into silence once again.
However, unlike before, Old Xiao was the only one who was frustrated. Now, Old Chen's brows were tightly knitted together.
The tea on the table had already turned cold, but no one cared. The two fathers, who were almost a hundred years old together, were staring at a spot of sunlight on the wooden floor.
As time passed, the sun set in the west. The round spot of sunlight slowly moved until it merged into the shadows of the corner. Old Chen then exhaled faintly.
'She's pregnant. Then there's no choice.'
Chen Zhaojun thought to himself.
He was rather lenient with his son's education. When Chen Hansheng was young, Old Chen focused on nurturing his independence and hands-on ability. He supported and guided Chen Hansheng to carry out some strange and bold ideas.
Old Chen rarely used his authority as a father to force Chen Hansheng to study or read. That was Empress Dowager Liang's mission.
However, Chen Zhaojun felt that he could not give his son a choice in this matter.
"On New Year's Eve, I noticed that Little Yu 'er would occasionally vomit."
Xiao Hongwei spoke and told him the whole story of his' pregnancy 'guess. "At the time, I thought it was a little strange. Even if she was sad after breaking up with Chen Hansheng, it should have eased a little after a month."
As Old Xiao spoke, he fiddled with his lighter. However, he did not light his cigarette. When he could no longer hold it in, he only touched the cigarette box twice.
"From that day onwards, I kept an eye on it. I noticed that Little Yu 'er's symptoms were most obvious when she woke up in the morning. At the time, I realized something and panicked."
Old Xiao continued, "On the night of the fifth, Little Yu 'er's uncle sent a pot of braised pig trotters over. It was fragrant and soft, but it was also very oily. Little Yu' er felt nauseous and vomited again."
Chen Zhaojun nodded. The symptoms were already very obvious. Old Xiao sighed. "So, I concluded that Little Yu 'er was pregnant. However, she had never experienced something like this before. Furthermore, she had broken up with Chen Hansheng, so I thought it was just a physical reaction from excessive sadness."
"That night, I couldn't sleep. I sat alone on the sofa and watched the morning news from the evening news.
Xiao Hongwei glanced at Old Chen. "I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. I even secretly cried once."
"I'm really sorry, Old Xiao."
Chen Zhaojun apologized sincerely. Xiao Hongwei was famous for being a slave to his daughter. It was normal for him to have such a reaction.
"You don't have to apologize to me."
Xiao Hongwei told the truth. "When I was at the peak of my anger that night, I considered looking for Chen Hansheng and preparing to let your family have one less son. At worst, I'll trade one for one."
Chen Zhaojun did not reply. Although this sentence was said in anger, when a father was angry, he could really do anything for his children.
"However, when I calmed down, I knew that this wouldn't solve the problem. It would only destroy the two families."
Xiao Hongwei said seriously, "That's why I'm thinking of persuading Little Yu'er to have an abortion."
"No!"
This time, the one who objected was the child's grandfather, Chen Zhaojun.
Seeing Old Chen's reaction, Old Xiao was very happy in his heart. Aborting a child was very harmful to the body. In fact, it was the last resort.
However, on the surface, Old Xiao still said with "dissatisfaction", "You didn't consider Little Yu'er at all. You just wanted to have Little Hansheng or Little Yu'er as soon as possible."
This was true. Although there were a lot of things to do now, Old Chen couldn't help but look kind when he thought that he was going to be a grandfather.
"But to be honest, I also want to be a grandfather."
In the end, Old Xiao said slowly.
The living room was silent again. The winter sunset was gorgeous and vicissitudes of life. Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from downstairs, which made the living room seem more deserted.
After a while, Chen Zhaojun asked, "Does Old Lu know?"
"I haven't told her yet."
Xiao Hongwei said, "These two days during the Spring Festival, she has a lot of things to worry about. Little Yu'er has also been sitting in the study reading materials. The two have less time to contact each other, but when she is free, she will definitely notice."
"Okay."
Chen Zhaojun thought for a while and said directly, "In that case, let Hansheng and Little Yu'er get married. Just like last year's plan, the time can even be a little earlier. There will be a holiday on May Day."
Hearing Chen Zhaojun's promise, Xiao Hongwei gradually felt relieved, because in general, this was indeed the most appropriate way.
First, Chen Hansheng and Little Yu'er still had feelings for each other. Everyone could see that.
Second, if they got married, Little Yu'er didn't need to abort the child, which would be the least harmful to her body. This was what Old Xiao cared about most.
Third, he could also retire early and become a grandfather.
"Then I'm going to talk about it at home."
Xiao Hongwei said, "As for Hansheng …"
"Leave him to me."
Old Chen said firmly and steadily.
"Okay, let's keep in touch."
Xiao Hongwei nodded. After knowing Old Chen for so many years, Old Chen's character was very trustworthy. In this way, the problem seemed to become simple again.
However, Old Chen's original intention had changed. He originally wanted to talk about it and let the matter between his son and Little Yu'er come to an end. He didn't expect that Old Chen would "join the party" again, and it was a very hardcore "small fish party".
… ….
After Chen Zhaojun left, Xiao Hongwei was still sitting quietly on the sofa.
Although he loved Little Yu'er very much, it was best for this kind of thing to be revealed by the identity of the "mother", so he had been thinking about how to let Lv Yuqing find out first.
Not long after, the security door creaked open. Lv Yuqing came back from the relative's house with Little Yu'er.
"Is there a guest?"
Lv Yuqing pointed at the two glass teacups and asked.
"Oh, a friend came over to chat."
Xiao Hongwei concealed Old Chen's identity.
Little Yu'er changed into her pajamas and sat on the sofa to rest. She hugged her knees with both hands and was unconsciously changing the TV channel. Her long hair hung freely, covering her delicate oval face.
Old Xiao looked at his daughter lovingly, picked up a Tangerine from the fruit plate, peeled it, and handed it to her.
Little Yu'er ate it one by one, and then looked at her father eagerly. "I want more."
"Okay, dad will peel it for you."
Xiao Hongwei said gently.
When he peeled the second Tangerine, Old Xiao also tasted a petal. In fact, it tasted a little sour. His daughter, who liked sweets, was not very interested in this kind of fruit in the past.
"Alas."
Old Xiao sighed in his heart. The truth was already in front of his eyes.
When cooking at night, Xiao Hongwei took the initiative to say to Lv Yuqing, "You are a little tired from driving today. Let me be the head chef."
"Director Xiao has been a little strange recently."
Lv Yuqing said with a smile, "Not only does he help cook, but he also seems to have quit smoking."
Old Xiao didn't say much. He busied himself in the kitchen, and a few home-cooked dishes were ready.
"Time to eat."
Xiao Hongwei shouted.
However, when Little Yu'er walked to the dining room, she glanced at the dining table, suddenly covered her chest, and hurriedly ran to the bathroom to retch.
It turned out that Old Xiao had made a plate of braised pork with soy sauce. The meat was wrapped in deep red sauce, and looked shiny. It was supposed to be a very appetizing dish, but he didn't expect Little Yu'er to have such a reaction.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Hongwei pretended to know nothing and asked.
"I don't know."
Lv Yuqing was really puzzled. "Do you have a cold?"
After saying that, Lv Yuqing went to the bathroom and touched her daughter's head for a while. She didn't find anything unusual, but her body temperature was a little high.
"I don't want to eat. I don't have an appetite."
Little Yu'er simply didn't want to eat, and went to the living room to continue eating Tangerine.
"You should have eaten something light at night. I will cook some noodle soup for my daughter later."
Lv Yuqing was still complaining about her husband.
Xiao Hongwei didn't explain, but just loudly "reminded" his daughter, "Don't eat too much Tangerine. It's a little sour. No matter how much you like it, you have to control yourself."
"What's wrong with my daughter recently?"
Old Xiao said in a chatting tone, "She seems to like eating sour food a little."
Hearing this, Lv Yuqing seemed to think of something. Her face suddenly changed. First, it was suspicion, then it became contemplation, and finally it became deep worry.
In fact, some of the symptoms were already very obvious, but no one thought in that direction. Now that she thought about it carefully, Lv Yuqing also lost her appetite tonight.
Not only did she lose her appetite, but she also began to have insomnia. In the middle of the night, she secretly got out of bed and walked to Little Yu'er's bedroom, looking at her sleeping daughter in a daze.
Xiao Hongwei naturally knew what was going on. The next morning, he specially went downstairs to buy fried pancakes for breakfast. Little Yu'er still lost her appetite after a glance.
At this point, Lv Yuqing was seventy to eighty percent sure.
"Tomorrow is the eighth day of the New Year, I'll go to the unit to have a look."
Old Xiao put on his police uniform and said. He wanted to leave some space for his wife and daughter to let Lv Yuqing uncover this "secret".
"Oh, okay …"
Lv Yuqing absent-mindedly responded. After her husband left, Lv Yuqing took a few deep breaths, suddenly stood up, and went downstairs to the pharmacy.
Ten minutes later, Lv Yuqing came back, walked to her daughter's side and sat down quietly.
Xiao Rongyu was looking at the case materials. After school started, she would fly to the United States with Sister Wu, Zhao Tong, and Bian Shishi. In the end, Professor Sun failed to persuade his last disciple, and could only help to find a house in the Los Angeles Bay Area.
The old lady had rich resources, and many of her students were abroad. After they heard about their teacher's request, they almost rushed to offer a house.
On one hand, they wanted to deepen their relationship with the old lady, and on the other hand, they wanted to show off to their classmates that they were doing well.
Professor Sun picked a stand-alone apartment in the rich district, which could ensure safety. The chairman of Shentong, Cheng Dejun, was also good at dealing with people. He found a middle-aged housekeeper in his hometown who knew everything about her, and was going to send her over to take care of her.
"Oh?"
Xiao Rongyu felt that her mother had been looking at her, and raised her head strangely.
"Nothing."
Lv Yuqing reached out to touch Little Yu'er's high ponytail, and said softly, "Mom just feels that my daughter has finally become an adult."
"I've been an adult for a long time."
Little Yu'er said, and her dimples were still as sweet as ever.
Lv Yuqing smiled. Her daughter had inherited all the advantages of her and Old Xiao's facial features. She had been beautiful since she was a child.
Well … If Little Yu'er is to be born in the future, she must look more like her mother.
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Rongyu felt that her mother seemed to be talking to herself.
"Nothing."
Lv Yuqing shook her head, and suddenly asked after a while, "How is Hansheng now?"
Little Yu'er, who was flipping through a book, paused for a moment, and said, "I don't know."
"Don't you keep in touch with him?"
Lv Yuqing seemed to be unwilling to give up. "On New Year's Eve, you still called to care about Hansheng."
"I was worried about Uncle Chen and Aunt Liang."
Little Yu'er was a little annoyed. She flipped through the book and said, "Mom, I'm going to read now."
If it was any other day, Lv Yuqing would probably leave, but she didn't leave today. She still sat beside her daughter and said, "Actually, Mom and Dad don't know why you broke up with Hansheng. If you can reconcile, Mom will support you …"
"Since you like Xiao Chen so much, why don't you take him as your son?"
Little Yu'er pouted and said, "I don't love him anyway, and I have nothing to do with him in the future."
No matter how old children were, they were still like children in front of their parents. Xiao Rongyu was a mature head of a law firm outside, but she still lost her temper with her parents at home.
Chen Hansheng was even worse. When Liang Meijuan hit him, she completely forgot that her son was a billionaire.
"If …"
Lv Yuqing wasn't annoyed. She said calmly, "You still have a relationship with him?"
At this moment, Xiao Rongyu finally noticed her mother's abnormality. She asked with confusion, "What do you mean?"
Lv Yuqing was silent for a while. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say.
However, she couldn't avoid it in the end.
"My dear daughter, you've been vomiting a lot recently. You hate greasy food, your body temperature is high, and you like sour food."
When Lv Yuqing said these words, her voice was actually trembling. She summarized Little Yu'er's recent habits and finally said slowly, "So, Mom thinks that you might be pregnant."
"I'm pregnant?!!!"
Little Yu'er raised her head in disbelief.
She knew that her body had been a little abnormal in the past month, but just like Old Xiao's analysis, Little Yu'er thought that it was a normal reaction after a breakup.
Therefore, Little Yu'er didn't pay much attention to it. However, as her mother listed these phenomena one by one, all of them pointed to the same result.
"You're pregnant."
"But I've already broken up with Xiao Chen."
"He should be with Shen Youchu now."
All kinds of thoughts rushed into her mind, and Xiao Rongyu suddenly panicked. Fortunately, her mother was by her side. Lv Yuqing held Little Yu'er's hand. "Mom bought a test paper. Let's test it first. Maybe you're really just feeling unwell."
At this moment, Little Yu'er had already lost her ability to think. She listened to her mother's arrangements.
However, when the results came out, there were two obvious red lines on the test paper, which clearly told Little Yu'er that she was really pregnant.
… …
In the afternoon, Xiao Hongwei, who was restless in his office, finally received the phone call that he had been waiting for 5 hours and 40 minutes.
"Old Xiao."
The call was from Lv Yuqing.
"Yes, I'm here."
Xiao Hongwei suppressed his thumping heartbeat and tried his best to speak calmly.
"Are you free now? Come back home."
Lv Yuqing's voice was muffled, as if she had just cried.
"Okay, I'll go back right away!"
Xiao Hongwei put down the phone and left. In his anxiety, he even forgot to ask, "What happened?" As if he already knew that something would definitely happen.
However, at this time, Lv Yuqing didn't have the energy to care about these details.
The usual 15 minutes car ride seemed to be especially long today. Old Xiao really wished that he could immediately teleport back home.
When he finally arrived downstairs, Xiao Hongwei closed the car door and ran upstairs. Standing in front of the door, he tried to adjust his breathing a few times, but he still couldn't calm down. He seemed to be able to feel his muscles twitching.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
Old Xiao raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Creak ~"
Lv Yuqing came over and opened the door. Her eyes were indeed red. It was obvious that she had just cried.
"Where's Little Yu'er …"
Old Xiao rushed in anxiously.
"Old Xiao."
Lv Yuqing stopped him. "No matter what I tell you later, you can't be angry."
Only then did Xiao Hongwei realize that he probably didn't know the "truth" now. He quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I promise. Where's the girl?"
After entering the door, Old Xiao saw Little Yu'er sitting on the sofa. She didn't greet him and stared blankly outside the window. There was a small teardrop hanging on her long eyelashes.
Xiao Hongwei felt sorry for her. She was pregnant. He and Old Chen had already written the script. There was nothing to worry about.
"What's going on?"
Old Xiao felt that he still had to ask.
Lv Yuqing glanced at Little Yu'er, pulled her husband into the bedroom, and took out the test paper.
Although he had already expected it and discussed the countermeasures, when he saw the conspicuous two lines, Xiao Hongwei still felt weak in the legs.
"Little Yu'er is pregnant."
Lv Yuqing finally had a person to discuss this matter with. She finally couldn't hold back her emotions and her voice was choked with sobs.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Old Xiao held his wife in his arms and comforted her. "In ancient times, there were mothers in their teens. Little Yu'er is now married and has a child. In fact, it's very normal. 22 years old is considered a late marriage in the law."
"It's not like that. She doesn't agree."
Lv Yuqing wiped her tears and said.
"Ah?"
Old Xiao was stunned. "Does she want to abort the child?"
This result was beyond Xiao Hongwei's expectations. According to his understanding of his daughter, Little Yu'er wouldn't make such a choice.
"She doesn't want to abort the child. Little Yu'er still wants this child."
Lv Yuqing stomped her feet. "But, she doesn't agree to be with Chen Hansheng!"
