Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C55
Lin Jingsheng followed the car in front. He saw the driver enter the bakery, then carry a bag out. The car started moving again, but he didn’t follow. He parked the car by the road and took out his phone to make a call.
In Su Wenjin’s mind, his mother-in-law’s relationship with his father-in-law had always been smooth and fluid. Her father-in-law had a righteous personality and never said a word or two, never saying anything sweet or sweet, but he would always show that although her mother-in-law had a good temper, she still restrained herself on some issues. Listening to her father-in-law’s decision, she had been married for three years and had never seen them quarreling, let alone making such a ruckus.
Chi Yinan also didn’t understand why his parents were quarreling so much, and his mother even threatened to get a divorce. What had caused the relationship between his parents for so many years to come to this?
“Warm Jin, sit here and don’t move. I’ll go talk to Mom.” The Chi family was under a heavy pressure. Even the servants were walking quietly, so they didn’t dare to talk loudly. Luckily, the old man went to the countryside these few days. They hoped that things would be settled by the time he came back.
She was sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs. She didn’t know what was going on upstairs, but from time to time she would hear the sound of broken glass and she would know that it was very noisy, and according to Chi Yinan’s personality, he might not be able to annoy her father-in-law.
Their room was on the second floor, and when she went up the stairs she made a louder noise. She was standing in the hall, the door of the study ajar, and the sound was coming from within. Through the crack in the door he saw Chi Yinan standing among his parents-in-law, who was livid and hysterical.
“Hui Ru, those are all the past. Why are you holding on to them?”
“In the past, who do you think you can deceive? You’re still lying to Yinan. Wan-Jin, come over here and take a good look. This is the eunuch that you think is honest and upright, we’ve all been deceived by him.” If it wasn’t for Chi Yinan pulling her, she would have already collapsed. She still hadn’t figured out what exactly the quarrel was about, when Chi Yinan called out “mother,” her mother-in-law Gu Huiru fainted and her father-in-law’s complexion changed a few times.
The family doctor came very soon. He was very angry and had nothing much to do. She and Chi Yinan looked at their father-in-law standing on the bed and went out of the room to return to Chi Yinan’s original bedroom.
“What is going on?”
Chi Yinan looked exhausted. He took off his coat and hung it on the shelf, then said in a low voice, “Mom suspects that Daddy has a woman outside.”
“What?” Eunuch will not, could Mommy have misunderstood something? ”
“I don’t know. He said he found a picture of a woman he took with him in his book. That was intimate.”
The reason for her mother-in-law’s hysteria was probably due to their relationship. After marrying for so many years, she had suddenly discovered that her loving husband had a woman outside, so any other woman would be unable to bear it, let alone such an arrogant woman like her mother-in-law. However, as a father-in-law, she was very clear that she would never do such a thing.
“I think it’s just a misunderstanding. When Mom wakes up, let Dad have a good chat with her.”
“Warm Jin, don’t bother me. I’ll get the driver to take you back. I’ll wait for Mom to wake up.”
“I’ll wait with you.”
She lay in her bedroom for a while, then went to her father-in-law’s study. In fact, she was curious about the photo, just like the last time she saw her father-in-law and Lin Jingsheng. The longer the things buried in her heart were buried, the more they would slowly ferment like wine, and the more she wanted to solve this mystery.
There was no one in the study room, the floor from before had already been tidied up by the servants. She walked to the desk, and the photo was suddenly imprinted in front of her eyes. The time was yellow, almost missing a corner, but she could still see the man and woman above.
“Warm Jin, come out and eat something.” Chi Yinan’s voice startled her. She dropped the photo on the table and turned her back to him, so he couldn’t see her expression. One of his hands hanging by his side tightly gripped the hem of his shirt as he slowly turned around stiffly.
She walked up to him and let him carry her back to the bedroom. The pregnant women’s meals she had cooked were placed on the coffee table, and steam rose from them. Since she had gotten pregnant, she had eaten a few meals a day, but each time, she had eaten only a few meals. Chi Yinan stirred the congee with a spoon, and when it was cold, he brought it to her.
“Not yet. Sleep for a while.”
After she finished eating, Chi Yinan forced her into bed and she slept. The hazy sleepiness in her mind started to become clear, but that picture still appeared in her mind, and she saw that Chi Yinan had already left, rolling over in the blanket, thinking back and forth, maybe because she was too tired from thinking too much, she fell asleep again, and when she woke up, the sky had already darkened, and there was already a shadow outside the window curtain. In the autumn, when the wind blew, the temperature was a little low, so she took his coat from Chi Yinan’s cabinet and put it on her body.
The excessive season in S City was not obvious. Spring and autumn were short, and the heat of the previous days had cooled down, and now it was cool again, remembering the doctor’s instructions to pay particular attention to warmth for pregnant women. She didn’t care whether the clothes fit her or not, she put them on and went out.
His father-in-law sat at the end of the bed with a grave expression on his face. Chi Yinan was in the middle of them all, so when she pushed the door open and entered, all three of them had their gazes fixed on her. Chi Yinan had already walked over when he saw her.
Today, it was updated to this point. Jiu Qing felt a bit uncomfortable today, so he went down to take a rest. You all can take your time to take a look. All comments will be answered tomorrow …
“Yinnan, take Warm Jin with you. There’s nothing going on here.” He then stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back. His mother-in-law Gu Huiru’s face was pale and the corners of her lips moved as well, “Warm Jin is still pregnant right now. Go back first, it was a misunderstanding between me and your father.
However, as his son, he could not say much about the matters of the previous generation. His father had kept himself clean for so many years, and he had seen it for himself. Thinking that Su Wenjin’s body really could not handle it, he decided to bring her back after dinner.
The atmosphere at the dinner table continued to be low, so Chi Yinan received a phone call halfway through. She watched him walk out, poking at the rice in the bowl as he looked at his father-in-law. In the end, she still opened her mouth and said, “Dad, I know the woman in the photo.”
Chi Hongtian was not too surprised by these words. He could only sigh and put down his chopsticks. Under the bright light, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he was recalling something from time.
“She is Jing Sheng’s mother. Have you seen her before?”
“No, just in the photo. According to him, his mother has been living in the United States.”
“No wonder.” The eunuch seemed to be upset. He lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking, “Wan-Jin, you and Yinan must analyze everything calmly. Don’t go to the point of divorce unless you have no other choice.”
Perhaps it was because her father-in-law’s tone was too sorrowful that she was frightened, and her hand under the table was tightly stirring the corner of her clothes. All sorts of thoughts were tangled up in her mind, like a net that had been pulled together, she could not make sense of it, but her father-in-law’s words let her know that there would be a more ferocious battle in the future. She opened her mouth, but the words that were about to come out of her mouth did not come out.
After dinner, they went upstairs to see their mother-in-law. Chi Yinan drove them back to the creek sea, and during the quiet days, there were countless dark waves under the surface. They had just come back from the quiet garden for a few days, and hearing Chi Yinan say that they had made up, she guessed that Grandma’s heart was still a little bit troubled. Furthermore, since the old man had come back from the countryside, this family needed to maintain a semblance of harmony.
“Su Wenjin, are you really pregnant?” Kieran’s voice on the other end of the phone was piercing. She put the receiver away and replied casually, “Are you surprised? I’m not a man, so it’s not normal for a woman to be pregnant. ”
“Aha, normal, normal. Can I have a meal as a gift today?”
“Your boyfriend is treating you?”
“Of course.”
She called Chi Yinan to meet Kieran’s boyfriend. She had to get his permission before leaving, and it was like being imprisoned. She had asked that question before, and he had blocked her path to safety.
“Come back early. I’ll get the driver to take you there.”
She had changed her clothes and put on a large coat. In the mirror, she was still slim, without the slightest trace of maternal bloat. She also had a pair of comfortable flat shoes on her feet. The driver had already opened the door and was waiting outside.
They were close to a red light when she drove up. They were already there when she arrived, and from afar, he was snuggling against her. The window was clear, and the sunlight was shining through it onto them. They were talking while flipping through a book, but the smile on their faces showed that she was very happy.
“This is the famous Chi family’s young mistress, Su Wenjin. This is the Xiao Bei Ting who is known to be intoxicating and ungrateful.” Kieran had purposely introduced them and teased the two of them, the man called Xiao Bei Ting. He had a helpless smile on his face, his eyes filled with endless love.
Seeing his appearance up close, he looked just like Kieran had described. The man with the cold face seemed like a man dressed in white, standing at the peak of the world, his clothes fluttering as he winked at Kieran. Not bad, it was no wonder he was single … With such an outstanding man buried in the depths of his heart, who could still enter?
At this moment, she suddenly thought of Chi Yinan. He and Xiao Bei Ting looked like two completely different men, so she didn’t know which one was more popular.
“This is a greeting gift for my son.”
She was in no hurry to open the box. She looked at the people sitting next to her and said, “Kieran, didn’t you say you wanted to have one too? We’re not people anymore.”
“You’re right,” he said. “You should give me one sometime.” He held her hand tightly and took it under the table. “What Su Wenjin said was that you should give me one as well.”
She had not expected Xiao Bei Ting to say something so explosive like this. She looked at Kieran and her face turned even redder, her eyes sparkling.
“Xiao Bei Ting, don’t you know that our young miss Qin is thin-skinned?” Another tease came from her. She had enjoyed her meal, so even though Xiao Bei Ting looked cold and aloof, he was still very friendly towards his girlfriend. The atmosphere at the table was very good, and he could tell that he was very nervous about Kieran.
She said her goodbyes and got into the car. The other end of the line sounded noisy, as if it was filled with the cries of Lu Ziyun’s ghosts. He told her what time he would be back in the evening and then gave her some instructions before hanging up.
The shop was not big, the two stores were connected into one, and there was a purple bell hanging at the door. As long as anyone came in, it would ring, and the owner was a young woman with long hair and a plain face. She stood behind the cashier’s desk and organized her things, and this was the first time she came to the shop, looking at the beautiful baby clothes inside, and she really liked it.
But now that he thought about it, his child had only been with him for two months, so it was indeed a little early to buy clothes and toys.
“Miss, have you just gotten pregnant?” The young boss came out from behind the cash register and looked at her. She put a hand on her belly.
“There are many expectant mothers like you who came to take a look. You can tell just by looking at their expressions. Take your time to look, it doesn’t matter if you don’t buy it.”
The owner’s amiable tone made her feel very comfortable. Walking in a row around the shelves, looking at the baby’s clothes from the toys, she picked up a pair of round little shoes on the shelves. The shoes were very small, and there was a little yellow duck on them.
