Chapter 3238 - Your Daughter Opened Up a Company 8
My Youth Began With Him
âI wonât give you money. Iâm not interested in your news,â Pudding refused her without hesitation.
âHuh? Dad, look at your eldest daughter⦠Sheâs so meanâ¦â Little Bean was displeased.
âHaha! Itâs difficult to blackmail your sister.â Huo Mian chuckled.
âForget it. Grandpa, Grandma, you give me money and Iâll tell you the news secretly.â Little Bean looked at her grandparents.
âGrandpa, Grandma, donât give her money. She wonât be able to keep the secret long even if you donât give her money,â Pudding interrupted.
âQin Zhaozhao, youâre so mean. You wonât give me money and even instigated our grandparents against me. Are you still my sister?â
âYou shouldnât ask for money from your sister in the first place. Grandpa and Grandma are so good to you, and you still want them to buy your news? Shame on you,â Pudding retorted.
âHuh. You, you, youâ¦â Little Bean didnât know how to answer her sisterâs retort.
âHaha! Fine! Stop arguing, or Iâll have a headache. Now each of you take a step back. 1,000 yuan from each of us is a bit high. Iâll give you 500 and you tell us the good news, okay?â Qin Chuâs father dug out five 100 yuan bills from his shirt pocket and placed them on the table.
â500? Thatâs not enough for a few boxes of Haagen-Dazsâ¦â Little Bean pouted.
âTake the money. You should thank Grandpa for giving you 500. Or else youâll have nothing.â While she spoke, Pudding reached out for the money.
Little Bean snatched it from the table.
âQin Zhaozhao, donât think of taking my money.â
Pudding didnât want to take the money; she did it just to mess with Little Bean and she succeeded.
âNow youâve taken Grandpaâs money, tell us what good news you have.â Mrs. Qin picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and put it into Huo Mianâs bowl.
Moved by the gesture, Huo Mian glanced at her mother-in-law gratefully.
âThe good news is I accompanied Mom to have a prenatal check today and the auntie operating the ultrasound machine said Mom is pregnant with a boy.â
âHuh? Really? Mian, did the kid tell the truth?â Mrs. Qin was thrilled.
âYeah. Mian, did Little Bean tell the truth?â Qin Chuâs father was also excited.
âAhem⦠Little Bean, what nonsense are you talking about?â Huo Mian was a bit shy.
She had intended to tell the news to only Qin Chu. After all, if she told everyone and it turned out that it was a girl, sheâd feel embarrassed.
But to her surprise, Little Bean spilled the beans so soon.
Huo Mian was puzzled because she remembered she didnât tell Little Bean or Chen Jie about the result.
Where did the little girl get the news?
âItâs not nonsense. Itâs true.â
âWho told you that?â Huo Mian looked at her daughter in puzzlement.
âI donât need anyone to tell me. After you finished the check, you were supposed to come home. But you suddenly decided to go to see Dad. I could see you had good news by looking at your smiling face⦠So, I guessed you must have a boy in your belly; youâre going to give birth to a prince for our family.â Little Bean speculated.
Huo Mian didnât know whether she should cry or laugh.
âGood. Our Little Bean is smart,â Qin Chu praised her proudly.
âMom, is what Little Bean said true?â Pudding cocked her head and asked Huo Mian calmly.
âUm⦠In fact, Iâm not sure. It was only a prenatal check. My colleague probably said it to make me happy. So, donât take it seriously,â Huo Mian said embarrassedly.
âThatâs impossible. The devices at South Side have always been good. Mian, donât be shyâ¦â Qin Chuâs father was thrilled since he had not dared to hope that heâd be able to have a grandson.
âYeah. Mian, just tell us the truth, so we donât have to guess.â Qin Chuâs mother was beyond excitement.
