When Li Xu and Zhang Kun arrived at the hotel with the children, no one was not there yet.
They booked three tables in total. Li Xu and Zhang Kun put wedding candies, peanuts, melon seeds, cigarettes, and alcohol on each table in advance.
At the hotel entrance, they put the welcome photos of the two of them.
This way, the guests could find the place at a glance.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu finished putting down the welcoming photos and were about to head back.
Then they saw a man and a woman walking in with two old people.
Li Xu poked Zhang Kun and then quickly faced the welcoming photos. She pretended to be arranging the welcoming photos, but in fact, she concealed the photos tightly.
Zhang Kun also reacted and quickly imitated Li Xu.
The four people outside were talking as they walked this way.
âDad, Mom, you can stay here for the next two days. Thereâs a phone at the hotel reception. If you want to go out, give me a call. Iâll get the driver to come to pick you up.â
This man was Hu Chunliâs ex-husband, Yang Junying.
âItâs so good to stay at home. Itâs such a waste of money to stay here!â The mean-looking middle-aged woman who spoke was probably Yang Junyingâs mother, Hu Chunliâs ex-mother-in-law.
âMother, Nian Nian is pregnant and has light sleep. If you sleep at home, it will affect her sleep,â Yang Junying said bluntly.
The woman beside him was a mistress called Nian Nian. She quickly explained, âMother, Iâm fine. Iâm just afraid that I wonât be able to sleep well, and will affect the child in my stomach. After the child is born, you can stay as long as you want!â
Yang Junyingâs motherâs face turned gloomy when she heard Yang Junyingâs words. Her brows were tightly furrowed as if she wanted to get angry.
However, a few words from Nian Nian suppressed her anger.
Her daughter-in-law had already used the child as a shield. As her mother-in-law, what else could she say?
If she said too much, it meant that she didnât care about the child. If anything happened to the child in the future, it would probably be blamed on her.
Li Xu listened to the conversation of these people and couldnât help but sigh in her heart. Yang Junyingâs mistress truly had some tricks up her sleeve.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have been promoted so quickly.
Yang Junying brought the other three people to the front desk and asked for a room. They were currently going through the procedures.
Li Xu stood in front of the welcoming photo and whispered to Zhang Kun, âPlease donât let Chunli come at this time. It would be terrible if she bumped into her.â
How could it be such a coincidence? It had to be today, and it had to be this hotel.
Li Xu looked anxious and said to Zhang Kun, âWhy donât you stay here and watch? Iâll go out and stop herâ¦â
Before she could finish her words, Zhang Kun let out a long sigh. âItâs too late!â
Li Xu subconsciously looked outside and saw Hu Chunli parking the bicycle.
After parking the bicycle, she squatted down and started to lock the bicycle.
Li Xu hurriedly said, âTil go and stop her!â
If they caused a stir today, it wouldnât be good for anyone.
When Li Xu went over, Hu Chunli had already locked the bicycle and carried Yang Jingyi out of the car.
When she saw Li Xu, Hu Chunli gently patted Yang Jingyiâs back.
Yang Jingyi immediately hugged her with her tiny hands. âCongratulations, Aunt Li. I wish you a happy marriage and a long life with Uncle Zhang.â
Li Xu forced a smile. âThankyou, Jingyi!â
Then, she looked at Hu Chunli and whispered, âCome with me. Donât go in yet!â
Hu Chunli didnât know what was going on, but her face was full of suspicion. âWhatâs wrong?â
Li Xu had no choice but to approach her out of concern for Yang Jingyi. She whispered into Hu Chunliâs ear, âYang Junying is at the front desk with his parents and mistress. It seems that his parents are here, and the mistress doesnât allow his parents to stay at home.â
Hearing this, Hu Chunli sneered. âWhatâs this called? The wicked will be tortured by the wicked?â
Back in the Yang family, she had served her parents-in-law respectfully. However, they complained that she had given birth to a daughter and did not carry on the Yang familyâs lineage, so they did not treat her well. Now that their son had married a new daughter-in-law, they could not even enter their home. It was unknown whether they regretted it or not.
âHide for a while first. Wait until they leave before coming out,â Li Xu advised.
Hu Chunli said with a cold face, âWhy should I hide? My conscience is clear, and I did not steal. The ones who should be hiding should be them, right?â
Li Xu sighed, âWhy are you angry with them? Just take it as you are hiding for me.â
Of course, Li Xu asked Hu Chunli to hide for a while. Although it was for the sake of the wedding banquet, it was not entirely for the sake of the wedding banquet.
A family of four was there. Donât look at the internal strife now. If they ran into Hu Chunli, they would fight the outsider together.
Hu Chunli was alone with a child. If they really quarreled, the child would definitely be hurt.
Li Xu had no choice but to squat down and coax Yang Jingyi. âJingyi, be good. Aunty sees there are flowers over there. Take Mommy to pick two flowers. Aunty will need them later, okay?â
Yang Jingyi nodded and looked up at Hu Chunli.
Hu Chunli let out a long breath and put on a smile again. She held Hu Chunliâs hand and said, âLetâs go and pick some flowers for Aunty.â
After Hu Chunli left with Yang Jingyi, Li Xu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Back in the hall, Yang Junying and Nian Nian had already sent their parents off and were about to leave.
Nian Nian was wearing a coat with a tight skirt underneath. Her belly was slightly bulging, and it looked like she was at least four to five months pregnant.
She held her waist with one hand and Yang Junyingâs arm with the other. She explained, âAs your wife, I canât say this, but you must tell your parents. I have an exceptional dietitian here to take care of the children. I donât need them. When the children are born, they donât need to look after them. They are already so old. They just need to enjoy life.
Letâs hire a nanny to do the work at home when the time comes. I will take care of the children. Itâs not that I dislike them, but itâs mainly because your parents donât have much education and canât teach the children. The children have to be raised from a young age. Otherwise, theyâll be finished if they grow up to be like Yang Jingyi. Theyâll be ranked last in the exams. What will they do in the future?â
âAlright, why are you talking about her suddenly?â Yang Junying was a little annoyed as he spoke to her.
Nian Nian was very good at reading peopleâs expressions. She immediately said, âJingyi is a good child, but she didnât study well. Alright, alright, I wonât say anymore. Our child has your excellent genes. As long as we teach them well, they wonât be bad. Oh, right, my Mother said that my stomach is sharp. This fetus is definitely a boy.â
Yang Junying was extremely satisfied after being flattered. He reached out and gently touched Nian Nianâs stomach, he said, âBoys and girls are the same. You can rest assured and take care of the fetus. Buy whatever you want to eat. Donât be unwilling to spend the money I give you every month. Donât mistreat my son.â
The two of them talked and walked away.
Li Xu sneered from behind, âIsnât he a hypocrite? He said that it doesnât matter if itâs a son or a daughter, but at the same time, he said that she shouldnât mistreat his son.. Yang Junying wants a son so badly that he went crazy, isnât he?â
