Xiao Hu was inexplicably excited. Even the person involved, Shen Youchu, didn't understand. Shen Youchu's mind was in a mess. She felt uneasy and anxious, but also a sense of responsibility as a mother.
Maternal love was probably something deeply ingrained in a woman's bones. When Little Yu'er first learned that she was pregnant, she subconsciously covered her lower abdomen. After Shen Youchu confirmed the news, she had the desire to protect her baby from the wind and rain.
But:
What about Xiao Chen? His relationship with Xiao Rongyu should be stable now.
My mother-in-law already knew about it. I need to find a chance to explain it to my younger sister. I just enrolled in A Ning Primary School, but I didn't expect that I would be an aunt soon.
As for my studies, I probably won't be able to go to graduate school until next year. How should I ask for leave from the school tutor?
… ….
Facing these complicated but real problems, Hu Linyu didn't take them seriously at all.
"A Ning is like you. She is kind and sensible. She will be very happy to be an aunt. It's a little difficult for her to go to school, but it'll be a piece of cake if Chen Hansheng helps her."
Hu Linyu guided her like a teacher, "So the question is, what's the most important thing for us now?"
"Oh?"
Shen Youchu raised her head and asked naively, "What is it?"
"Well … What other advantages do you have except for your beautiful appearance, good figure, and excellent grades? I hope that the baby can be as smart as Aunt Hu in the future, instead of being naive and silly like his mother."
Hu Linyu said helplessly, "The most important thing for us now is to let Chen Hansheng know that he is going to be a father again. It's his duty, and he can't escape from it."
"Oh."
Shen Youchu lowered her head slowly and stared at her flat lower abdomen in silence.
Seeing Shen Youchu's behavior, Hu Linyu immediately knew that she didn't want to compete. This made Secretary Hu very anxious. He scolded, "You are so disappointing. Have you forgotten how Bian Shishi came to steal our house?"
"Xiao Rongyu is pregnant, so …"
Shen Youchu still wanted to help Xiao Rongyu and Bian Shishi explain, but Hu Linyu was so "disheartened" that she didn't want to discuss it anymore. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it. You don't have to worry about this. Just stay at home and take care of the baby. I'll go to the store and we'll discuss it when I come back."
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the spring was harmonious. Everywhere one looked was filled with vibrant green plants. Taking a deep breath, the air was mixed with an unknown fragrance of flowers. It could not help but make one feel refreshed, and one's entire body was filled with an eager energy.
"Master, let's go to Xinjiekou!"
Hu Linyu stopped a taxi. Of course, she didn't go to the store. In other words, she didn't just go to the store.
Bian Shishi had told Shen Youchu everything when Xiao Rongyu was pregnant. Now that Shen Youchu was also pregnant, Hu Linyu felt that she must pass the good news to Xiao Rongyu. This was the friendly communication between the two parties.
… ….
After arriving at Xinjiekou, Hu Linyu went to the store first.
This was the fifth branch of the "Encounter" milk tea shop, and also the largest one. The total investment was more than 800,000 yuan, which was enough to buy a commercial house with two bedrooms and one living room in the best residential areas in Jianye.
With so much investment, the scale of this branch was of course super luxurious. The total area was more than 300 square meters. It was adjacent to the Xinjiekou subway station and the bus station. It was surrounded by the Guomao Building, Tianan Building, Jianhua Building, and so on.
Every day from 10 am, customers would line up in an endless stream. At noon, it was even more crowded.
Some white-collar women who were on a diet didn't eat lunch at all. They liked to order a cup of milk tea and sit in the elegant milk tea shop, listening to soothing music and basking in the sun through the glass. Occasionally, they would take a few photos and put them in their QQ space to show their positive attitude towards life.
Therefore, this was the most popular beverage shop in Xinjiekou. When it opened, Chen Hansheng said that the "Encounter" milk tea shop had a firm foundation, and it would be difficult for the "Honeymoon Ice City" in the north to enter Jianye.
The prices of the two shops were about the same, but the "Encounter" milk tea shop was much more high-end. Moreover, the "Encounter" was a local brand, so young people were more familiar with this brand.
"Manager Hu, Manager Hu, Boss Hu …"
After Hu Linyu entered the shop, a series of greetings sounded. From these greetings, it could be seen that the milk tea shop was developing into a professional and corporate business. It was no longer a small part-time business like before.
Most of the credit was given to Feng Gui. With the support of Shen Youchu and Hu Linyu, he set up the "Skills Training Department" by himself, which allowed employees to receive planned training. At the same time, he was also making the relevant rules of the company.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Hu Linyu checked the shop from inside to outside like a senior official, then sat down by the window. He looked at the Guomao Building across the road, where the Rongsheng Law Firm was located on the 18th floor.
Xiao Rongyu was at work again today, because there were many news interview cars parked in front of the Guomao Building.
"Humph."
Hu Linyu sneered. She called the best female chef in the shop over. "Please make a cup of milk tea for me. I'll give it to someone later."
"What kind of flavor do you want, Manager Hu?"
The female chef asked.
"A little sour, and don't add ice. It's the kind that warms the stomach gently."
Hu Linyu thought for a while and said. This was a hot drink suitable for pregnant women.
"Honey grapefruit tea, then. It's both sour and sweet."
The female chef made a suggestion.
Five minutes later, Hu Linyu walked to the Guomao Building with the packaging of the milk tea shop she "met".
This cup of milk tea was the "Italian cannon" that Commander Hu used to launch his attack.
… ….
It must be said that the security guards of the World Trade Building were also working hard. After Rongsheng Law Firm won the marriage lawsuit last month, the reporters rushed to the 18th floor to interview them. It didn't look like they had won the lawsuit, but more like the women of the law firm had won a Hollywood award in the United States.
Now, the director of the law firm, Xiao Rongyu, just came back, and those annoying reporters showed up again.
However, this was also a way to increase the exposure of the Guomao Building, so the management center of the building had been working hard to coordinate. For example, they opened the spare elevator so that it wouldn't affect the normal commuting of other companies.
"Wow, it's so lively."
Arriving at the door of the law firm, Hu Linyu couldn't help but murmur.
The law firm was established two years ago. At that time, they didn't expect it to be so influential, so it was a little crowded inside. Not only was the reception area full, but there were also several people standing in the corridor.
However, no one was smoking because there was a no-smoking sign posted in a conspicuous place.
Several young people with "Internship" signs on their chests were shuttling through the crowd. Occasionally, they bent down to inquire about the visitors' purpose, or served them hot tea.
As for the regular employees of the law firm, they all had their own separate partitioned office. Hu Linyu saw Bian Shishi first.
Bian Shishi was receiving clients. She lowered her head to record cases from time to time, so she didn't have time to notice the situation outside.
Hu Linyu walked forward and saw Xiao Rongyu again.
Xiao Rongyu was being interviewed. She was wearing a very formal women's suit and a pair of flat leather shoes. Her oval face was full of confidence. Her long hair was not tied into her usual high ponytail, but into a bun like that of a stewardess.
This Xiao Rongyu lacked the youthfulness of a young girl, but had the temperament of a woman in the workplace. There was also a trace of indescribable charm, but because of the two dimples at the corners of her mouth, her frown and smile were still so sweet.
The only thing that was a little out of place was that Xiao Rongyu was wearing a long, loose trench coat over her suit.
Everyone thought that Director Xiao was afraid of the cold, but only Hu Linyu knew that Xiao Rongyu was probably trying to cover her lower abdomen.
"Hello, are you the errand girl who delivers milk tea?"
At this time, a girl with an "Internship" sign on her chest asked Hu Linyu politely.
"Errand girl who delivers milk tea?"
Hu Linyu was stunned for a moment, then became furious. How am I like an errand girl? I'm clearly a general manager who strategizes!
"Humph ~"
Hu Linyu snorted contemptuously from her nostrils. "How about the errand girl who delivers milk tea? She's not worse than the interns in your law firm, right? Which school are you from?"
"I'm a second-year graduate student at the East University Law School."
The intern replied politely. "In school, I'm considered Director Xiao's senior, but in the law firm, Director Xiao is my leader."
"Oh, so you're a graduate student from the 985 University. Then it's fine."
Hu Linyu directly skipped this topic and pouted at Xiao Rongyu. "This milk tea is hers."
"Director Xiao is being interviewed. I'll pass it to her later."
The intern wanted to take the milk tea, but was rejected by Hu Linyu. "Our company has a rule that it must be delivered to the other party in person."
"I see …"
The intern looked at the time. "This interview should be over soon. Before the next one starts, hurry up and send it in."
About 15 minutes later, the interview on Jianye Lifestyle Channel ended. Xiao Rongyu gently exhaled.
When she first came to the office yesterday, she was actually a little uncomfortable. But today, her condition was obviously much better, and it was more comfortable than being cooped up at home all the time.
Xiao Rongyu drank two mouthfuls of hot water to moisten her throat. She took out her phone and looked at it. Sure enough, there was a message from Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng: Don't be too tired. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask our mom and my mom to buy it.
Seeing the strange address of "our mom and my mom", Little Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons.
Chen Hansheng's recent performance had won the unanimous approval of everyone. Little Yu'er planned to have a serious talk with Chen Hansheng this weekend, and then officially announce the end of the probation period. The next step was to get married and give birth to Little Yu'er.
However, Xiao Rongyu felt that ever since Little Yu'er was born, her attention had been on this little angel.
Especially when Little Yu'er's vital signs became more and more obvious. For example, Little Yu'er was turning over, stretching her legs, and rolling around … Every time Xiao Rongyu felt it, she was indescribably moved. Sometimes, she would cry for no reason.
Lv Yuqing said that this was called "maternal love". It was the greatest emotion in the world.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
Just when Xiao Rongyu was imagining Little Yu'er's appearance, a girl suddenly walked in from outside. She was not tall, and her figure was fair and plump.
Xiao Rongyu recognized her. During the Shuraba Arena in their freshman year, this girl was by Shen Youchu's side.
During the second Shuraba Arena last Christmas, she was also there.
Judging from this, she should be Shen Youchu's acquaintance and good friend.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Xiao Rongyu asked hesitantly. Because she did not know what the other party's intentions were, she kept increasing her vigilance.
At the same time, her heart was quietly covered with a layer of shadow.
This feeling was familiar. Last year, when Xiao Rongyu received a call from that "Samsung employee", she was also in the same state of mind as she drove to Tianjing Mountain.
How should she describe it? It was as if a beautiful thing was about to be destroyed, but she did not stop it. Because to Xiao Rongyu, the truth was also very important.
However, Xiao Rongyu had experienced many things in the past few months. Especially now that she had an additional identity as a "mother," Xiao Rongyu was not as panicked as before. For the sake of Little Yu 'er's healthy growth, there were many times when she would hold back her tears.
"Xiao Rongyu, hello."
Hu Linyu greeted her. She was not quite the same as Bian Shishi.
Bian Shishi felt very guilty at that time. Hu Linyu was representing the "Young Chu Party" to fight back, so it was very simple to be "tough and ruthless."
"I brought you a cup of milk tea."
Hu Linyu tried to be polite before resorting to force and put the packaging on the table.
"Sorry."
Xiao Rongyu saw the logo of "Meet Milk Tea" and raised her slender eyebrows. "I never drink this brand of drinks."
"Amazing!"
Xiao Hu thought to himself. She was the director of the law firm after all. Look at how arrogant she was. I don't like you. I won't even drink your milk tea!
Shen Youchu, this little silly girl, was obviously so beautiful. Why was she so weak?
"Excuse me, is there anything else?"
Xiao Rongyu continued to ask. She did not chase Hu Linyu out. Some law firm interns noticed that something was wrong. They knocked on the door and came in to ask for the reason. Xiao Rongyu said that it was nothing serious.
"Xiao Rongyu, I just want to tell you something."
Hu Linyu made a long story short. "Shen Youchu is also pregnant. Her father is also Chen Hansheng. I am not a villain who wants to sow discord. It was your best friend Bian Shishi who first found Shen Youchu and told her that you were pregnant. I am just returning the favor."
"Shen Youchu did not intend to tell Chen Hansheng. She was too stupid. She did not want to put Chen Hansheng in a dilemma at this time."
Ignoring Xiao Rongyu's gradually changing expression, Hu Linyu continued to say firmly, "You can continue to be with Chen Hansheng in the future, but don't forget that it was Shen Youchu who helped you!"
After that, Hu Linyu picked up the milk tea and turned to leave. But before she walked to the door, Xiao Rongyu's voice came from behind.
"How long has Shen Youchu been pregnant?"
Xiao Rongyu asked coldly, "Has Chen Hansheng gone to find her in the past two weeks?"
"No!"
Hu Linyu was also an upright woman. She did not frame Chen Hansheng. "Ever since he knew that you were pregnant, Chen Hansheng never went to Tianjing Mountain District again."
"Hmm …"
Xiao Rongyu nodded. This showed that Chen Hansheng was really honest during the probation period.
"Besides."
Xiao Rongyu stared at Hu Linyu. Even though there were tears in her eyes, her chin was still raised high. "Go and tell Shen Youchu that I don't need her help. If she doesn't want someone, I will not accept him!"
Hu Linyu had never dealt with Xiao Rongyu before. But from this short "confrontation", she understood that the campus belle of Eastern University, who was blessed with many halos, was actually very proud.
She also seemed to be more mature than last year. After hearing the news of Shen Youchu's pregnancy, she actually held back her tears. Was this the behavior of a mother?
After Hu Linyu left, Xiao Rongyu suddenly announced the cancellation of all the interviews today. After Bian Shishi heard it, she hurriedly came out of her office.
"What's wrong?"
Bian Shishi asked worriedly, "I heard that a girl just went in to look for you. What happened?"
"Nothing."
Xiao Rongyu even smiled at Bian Shishi. "Don't worry, I'll go home first. I'll talk to you at night."
… ….
"Ring ~"
At around 1 o 'clock in the afternoon, Chen Hansheng received a call from Xiao Rongyu, asking him to go back.
"Are you at home?"
Chen Hansheng felt a little strange. "You're going back so early. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I want to talk to you."
Xiao Rongyu said calmly.
"Talk?"
Chen Hansheng was suddenly happy. Haha, is my probation over?
Yes, long live freedom!
Chen Hansheng immediately drove to the riverside apartment. Liang Meijuan and Lv Yuqing were taking a lunch break. The nanny, Auntie Lin, was also in the room. Only Xiao Rongyu was in the living room.
"Deng Deng Deng ~"
Chen Hansheng took out a bouquet of flowers from behind as if he was presenting a treasure. This was bought when he passed by the flower shop on the road to celebrate his "release".
However, Xiao Rongyu was not as happy as he imagined. She did not even take the flowers. She stared at Chen Hansheng for a long time and finally said softly, "Xiao Chen, let's not meet again in the future."
"What the hell?"
Chen Hansheng went into a daze for a moment. His mind was also in a daze.
Motherf * cker, didn't we say that I will be released after my sentence is over? Why did it become a life sentence?
