Chapter 178 [5000 words]

After that, Dr. Chen arrived. He first checked Ji Xinyao's health and confirmed that Ji Xinyao was very healthy and her fetal aura was much more stable than before, and He Jiezhen and the old man were relieved.

However, Dr. Chen told me that it is best to take Chinese medicine for another month. After all, you should not use Western medicine indiscriminately when you are pregnant. Although Chinese medicine is slow, it is good for both mother and son to adjust slowly. So He Jiezhen ordered someone to transfer Sister Qin, who had been staying up late for Ji Xinyao, into Gu's house, and still asked Sister Qin to take care of Ji Xinyao's body.

Gu Yuanheng is busy in the military region. The old man is bored and likes to play chess with himself. He listens to storytelling. That night, Ji Xinyao took a shower and went downstairs when he saw the old man playing chess alone there. He walked over with a smile: "Grandpa, I'll accompany you."

"Oh, you girl can play chess?" Mr. Gu smiled and looked at her, but did not refuse. He called her to sit down: "Come on, sit down."

"I only know the most basic thing. Compared with veterans like grandpa, you probably lost after taking a few steps." Ji Xinyao arranged the chess in front of her: "But playing chess is more interesting than playing chess by yourself and yourself. I'll accompany you to relieve your boredom."

"Okay, okay, let the old man try your skills."

When Ji Xinyao saw Hongqi on her side, she took a step first. When the old man saw her coming up, he left the cannon and immediately laughed: "You thief girl, you want to come up to eat my old man's sword. Do you think I'm so easy to mess with?"

"Grandpa, I actually only know how to walk on horses and go to the fields. I don't know much about anything else. This is something I vaguely remembered when I was three or four years old. It was taught by my mother."

The old man moved the chess piece and suddenly looked at her, and asked seriously: "My thief, old man, I have something to ask you, you must tell the truth."

"Grandpa wants to ask Xiu Li about it?"

"Smart! As expected, you are not tired when talking to you girl! You can see through it at a moment."

Mr. Gu smiled, then raised his hand, as if he had no interest in playing chess. He sat on the lounge chair, looked at her, and then whispered: "Old man, I never expected that my young grandson who had been missing for more than 20 years would have grown up by your side. Things about me, the little grandson, are a taboo in our Gu family. No one dared to talk about this for more than 20 years, but since the child Xiuli was very close to you, I might as well talk to you, old man."

Xin Yao poured a cup of tea for the old man and put it in front of him. She didn't say much, but listened quietly.

The old man liked and admired her more, and seemed to have more and more trust in her. He smiled and nodded at her: "More than 20 years ago, Yuanheng had an affair with a woman and had a child outside. Nancy was only five years old at that time, and Yufei was only three years old. When I knew about it, I decisively let Yuanheng break off contact with that woman, and that child..."

He sighed and said, "After Xiaozhen married into the Gu family, she has always been a very sensible daughter-in-law and is very smart. In fact, Xiaozhen has always known this, but she has always pretended not to know for the sake of Nancy and Yufei, and endured for many years. We don't want to destroy this balance in the family, and I have no intention of letting the child outside of Yuanheng go to the Gu family. But something happened later. The woman who had an affair with Yuanheng had a serious illness and was sent to the United States for recuperation. The child she had just given birth to was inexplicably missing..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Gu sighed again: "Things were a bit complicated back then, but for the sake of the Gu family, Nancy and Yufei, and Yuanheng's reputation in the military, I relied on my power to suppress all these rumors. Later, after the child disappeared for many years, I thought that the child was probably dead and disappeared shortly after he was born. Moreover, his mother is still a seriously ill and confused mother, and everything is possible. In the past twenty years, although I sometimes tried to find the traces of this child, I often decided that he was no longer alive, so I didn't try my best to search for it."

"Actually, it's my fault." He rubbed his head, which had almost lost all his hair: "Although the incident was for the good of the Gu family back then, the child was innocent after all. I didn't expect that the child had been displaced for so many years. If your mother had not adopted him kindly, if you had not always taken care of him as a brother, and if it weren't for your appearance, I'm afraid that the old man, I would not have seen this little grandson who had grown up until he died..." 13acv.

Although Mr. Gu’s words were mostly memories and feelings, Ji Xinyao could hear that he cleverly avoided all sensitive topics in his words.

"Old man, I will tell you all this. Xin Yao, I don't know if you can understand my thoughts. I am old. No matter how I hold a gun when I am young, I will eventually be old. Maybe I can live one or two more years. If I really live long, I can only live for ten or eight years at most. Nancy and Yufei have grown up. Although Xiaozhen has always been indifferent to the things that happened back then, when she saw Xiu Li that day, she didn't say anything. I know she was sad, but she understands more than anyone else that Xiu Li is Yuanheng's illegitimate child, but after all, he is also the blood of the Gu family. My grandson, like Nancy, the palms and backs of his hands are flesh. Old man, I just want Xiu Li, the child, to come back to Gu family, and hope that all the children can accompany me to talk around my knees... Cough cough..."

"Grandpa, drink some water and talk slowly." Seeing the old man suddenly coughing violently, Xin Yao hurriedly raised the teacup to him.

The old man took a sip of hot tea and came out of breath. Jiongliang's eyes were rarely turbid: "For Xiaozhen, our Gu family owed her, but she always knew the general and endured what ordinary people could not tolerate. Over the years, she had been tacitly aware of it. Although she often quarreled with Yuanheng's magnanimity, she never mentioned the matter of him outside and that woman in front of Yuanheng. Xiaozhen was too sensible. She knew that once some things broke on the surface, they could no longer return to their true colors. So she had been enduring for many years, so I always made this decision for Xiaozhen, and never let that woman step into the Gu family's door."

"The things I made back then were all made by the old man. Whether it was the harm to Xiuli's mother or the unfairness to Xiuli, I just hope that the child could come back and have a good talk with me, don't hate Xiaozhen, don't hate me, and don't hate Yuanheng. The entanglements of the previous generation will be buried with me a hundred years later. You young people should not bear this."

"So thief girl... can you let Xiuli come back to Gu's family during the Spring Festival, and let me see him again. His surname is Gu, he is also my grandson of Gu Zhanzhong. He shouldn't be Ji. His blood is shed on him. How can I let him live outside after knowing where he is. Let him come back, thief girl, I know he listens to you. I owe you a favor. You can find a way to let him have a reunion dinner with me..."

Ji Xinyao looked down at the chessboard in front of her and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, since you said that Xiu Li's biological mother was seriously ill and unconscious back then, then she..." She pretended not to know anything, "Is she still alive?"

The old man thought about it, squinted his eyes as if he was recalling something: "I haven't been to the United States in these years. Ting Yuanheng said that there was a special doctor there with her there, and Yuanheng hadn't been there for so many years, but he had never heard of any bad news. It should be that he is still alive."

How indifferent is human feelings.

Even though that woman almost destroyed Gu Yuanheng's family, she gave birth to a son for the Gu family. Although she was wrong, her punishment was enough. After more than twenty years of separation of bones and more than twenty years of madness, she probably didn't know whether she was recuperating in a magnificent cage. Even for so many years, Gu Yuanheng had never seen her, and she didn't even know whether she was dead or alive.

So Ji Xinyao could understand Gu Yuanheng's cold and tough temper. He was always a heartless man.

At this moment, Wen Qing went downstairs with a pot of flowers that were about to wither, as if she wanted to find a way to save it. Seeing Ji Xinyao playing chess with the old man, her eyes flashed and walked over with the flower pot. She sweetly called the old man: "Grandpa, it's so late, you should go and rest."

"I'm not sleepy yet, Xiaoqing, what's wrong with the flowers in your hand?"

"I forgot to water it for a month, but it's dry." Wen Qing looked down at the flowers in her hand as if she was very distressed, then glanced at the teapot at Ji Xinyao. Seeing Ji Xinyao pouring tea for the old man's empty cup, she suddenly smiled, put down the flowerpot, walked over, and took the teapot from her: "Sister Xinyao, you are pregnant, I'll do the same thing as pouring tea for grandpa in the future."

As she said that, she laughed at Mimi and poured tea for the old man. The old man didn't think much about it. She just heard her call "Sister Xin Yao" and felt a little relieved in her eyes.

However, Ji Xinyao knew that Wen Qing was afraid that she would completely take away her favor from the old man, so she didn't even want to lie to her hand in pouring tea and making tea. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Forget it, there is no need to fight for anything.

But Wen Qing obviously refused to let her stay out of the matter. After pouring tea for the old man, she picked up another cup and poured it into Ji Xinyao. She smiled like a pleasing thing: "Sister Xinyao, you have a drink too."

Ji Xinyao's eyes stagnated and she raised her eyes and looked at her faintly.

Wen Qing just raised her cup like this. If she didn't answer, she would be petty, but what if she took it?

Mr. Gu saw that something was wrong and couldn't help but speak: "Xiaoqing, Xin Yao can't drink such strong tea now, at most she can drink flower tea."

Wen Qing didn't expect the old man to speak, and his hand holding the cup couldn't help but tighten, but there was still a smile in her eyes. She said innocence and said "Oh" and wanted to put down the cup.

Ji Xinyao reached out to take her teacup at the same time, and did not drink it, but placed it on the table, and smiled calmly: "The Spring Festival is coming soon, Wen Qing should be 24 years old, you are no longer a child, why don't you even know about pregnant women not drinking strong tea?"

After saying that, she smiled at Mimi while Wen Qing gradually stopped her smile, "I have a few books on pregnancy knowledge. I'll find time to give you two. Anyway, you should get married at this age and use it sooner or later, so as not to accidentally drink these things you shouldn't drink and get rid of the child. Then you will have to lose it. After all, once you lose your child, you will know how painful it is..."

The doctor gave Xin Bi. Mr. Gu seemed to vaguely hear Ji Xinyao's polite words. She was warning Wen Qing not to do anything to others "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you". The old man looked at the teacup on the table, then looked at Wen Qing's seemingly forbearing expression, and couldn't help but close his eyebrows slightly: "Xiaoqing, go to bed, if you can save this pot of flowers, save it, forget it if you can't save it, go to bed early."

The old man was so directed by the order to expel the guest. Wen Qing immediately bit her lips, clenched her hand in her sleeve into a fist, turned around without saying a word, holding the pot of flowers, and ran upstairs.

Before walking up the second floor, she paused for a moment and said softly: "I will definitely save it."

After saying that, he quickly went upstairs again.

Ji Xinyao was puzzled, thinking that Wen Qing would have the leisure and elegance of growing flowers himself, so she asked: "Grandpa, Wen Qing likes growing flowers very much?"

"No, she only loves this pot alone." The old man shook his head: "This pot of flowers was a few years ago when Nancy returned to China. Xiaoqing pestered him to the flower, bird and fish market. She originally wanted to buy a bird to play with, but she fell in love with this pot of four-leaf flowers. Xiaoqing said it was her lucky flower, so Nancy bought her this pot of four-leaf flowers. After all these years, Xiaoqing learned to raise flowers and grass by herself, and finally let the pot live for so many years. But in recent months, she has been depressed and probably forgot to water it for a long time."

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed: "Thief girl, don't you blame grandpa for often leaning towards Xiaoqing."

"Grandpa is a fraternal heart, not a bias. After all, Wen Qing was grown up with you. It's no different from her own granddaughter. It's natural to kiss her. How could I blame you?" Xin Yao grinned.

In fact, when Wen Qing served her tea, Ji Xinyao knew what Wen Qing was thinking, but she didn't want to expose her in front of the old man, but she didn't expect that it was the old man who said "remind" Wen Qing. Otherwise, if Wen Qing was really shameless, Ji Xinyao really wanted to directly attack her.

*********************************************************************************************

When he returned to the room, Gu Nanxi seemed to be standing on the balcony to answer the phone, but as soon as Xin Yao entered the door, he hung up the phone at the same time, looked back at her, and walked over with a smile.

"Have you accompanied the old man to play chess?" His voice was as gentle as ever, and leisurely and shallow.

"How do you know I'm playing chess with the old man?"

"I saw it when I went downstairs, but I answered a phone call temporarily and turned back to the room." He smiled faintly.

Ji Xinyao took off the coat she was wearing and hung it aside. She glanced at his cell phone, then looked up at him again.

She would not guess randomly, and if it were Xiaoyu's phone call, she knew he would tell her, but when she saw that his eyes were calm, she seemed to have some thoughts, and she couldn't help but think of other aspects.

Since the phone call he answered this afternoon was from Qin Muyan...

"Did the old man and mother know about Yu Fei's pregnancy?" she asked softly.

"They don't know yet, but they can't hide it anymore." Gu Nanxi's voice was very calm, but his eyes were a little serious: "Yu Fei comes back tomorrow, and things will always come to an end."

"Did Qin Muyan know?"

Gu Nanxi's thin lips were slightly pursed, and her serious expression was slightly warm because of her, and she finally nodded slightly.

No wonder Qin Muyan hasn't appeared again for so long, no wonder he hasn't called to tease her again recently, nor has he appeared in front of her from time to time. It seems that he is really troubled by trivial matters.

But she is more worried about Yufei's situation now. Calculate the time, Yufei's belly should be almost five months old. But no matter how she hides it, there are so many people coming and going around her, and it is impossible for her to lock herself in the house all day long without seeing anyone. After all, can't she hide it?

Can Yufei's child be saved? Qin Muyan's character has never been determined. She cannot be sure what choice he will make, and only hopes that he will never do anything to hurt Yufei...
