Qianfan Villa.
Ye Shengge woke up from her afternoon nap and read the financial news as usual.
The special investigation team in Beijing had left. Although they couldnât find any concrete evidence, the news was enough to affect the shareholdersâ confidence in T.S. Corporation, so T.S. Corporationâs share price had fallen to the lowest point in history. All kinds of reports were accusing Ji Shiting of negligence.
Ye Shengge put down her phone and heaved a sigh of relief.
It had been a week since Ji Shiting left Yang City, and he had only called her three times in the past week. On one hand, he was very busy, and on the other hand, he was probably trying to hide his whereabouts. Ye Shengge still didnât know where he was.
Ye Shengge didnât ask further. Every now and then, he would call her, and they would talk about what she had eaten and how the babies were. Although the conversation wasnât wholesome, Ye Shengge was very happy every time they talked, and she cherished those few minutes.
Ye Shengge was satisfied as long as she could confirm that he was safe.
Lin Ran and Li Yinian had both visited her, but they both had work to do, so they couldnât be with her all the time. Thus, she didnât have anyone to talk to most of the time, so she was inevitably bored. In the end, she had to talk to the baby in her stomach.
Grandpa Ji would come over to have lunch with her occasionally. In the past, she and Ji Shiting would go to the old manor for family dinners. Ever since her stomach got bigger and it was more and more inconvenient for her to move, it had become Grandpa Ji coming to Qianfan Villa to see them, even after Shiting left.
Every time Grandpa Ji came, he would tell her that everything was going smoothly. Ye Shengge knew that Grandpa Ji was just reporting the good news and not the bad, but she still felt comforted.
After getting out of bed, Ye Shengge went to the garden to trim the plants. This was a hobby she had recently developed, which could calm her down and make her pray.
After a while, Sister Xiu came and told her that Ling Yutong and Little Zheng were here.
Ye Shengge was pleasantly surprised. âLet them take a seat first. Iâll be right there.â
âNo need.â Ling Yutong smiled as she walked into the garden with Little Zheng.
Ye Shengge immediately put down the scissors in her hand, wiped her hands, and walked toward them. âWhy are you here?â
Ling Yutong let go of Little Zhengâs hand and held her. âSlow down⦠Shiting called me before he left and asked me to bring Little Zheng here to talk to you when Iâm free.â
âSorry to trouble you.â Ye Shengge smiled and looked at the boy in front of her. âLittle Zheng has grown taller again.â
The boy immediately puffed his chest and looked at her belly. âAunt Shengge, when are your siblings coming out?â
âAbout three months,â Ye Shengge said with a smile.
âSo long?â He sighed.
Ye Shengge couldnât help laughing. She looked at Ling Yutong and said, âLetâs sit in the living room.â
Ling Yutong had brought Ye Shengge some good news that she had been dreaming to hear.
âI heard from Dad that Finance Minister Jing Zhiyuan has been investigated for corruption and personal behavior,â Ling Yutong said. âIf Jing Zhiyuan is arrested, heâll probably implicate a lot of people.â
âReally?â Ye Shengge grabbed her hand.
