On the wedding day, she married her ex-boyfriend's brother while pregnant

Chapter 153 The Man on Top

These gifts are too many.

And it is too expensive. All kinds of supplements, both well-known and unknown, are contained in it.

Meng Zixi estimated that this pile of gifts alone would be enough to keep her and her friends busy for half a year... and there were so many of them.

She was sure that even the large storage room in the corner of Jiang Qianxun's living room might not be able to accommodate it.

Jiang Qianxun was also helpless. This Aunt Xie Qiong might have moved all the warehouses in the courtyard here!

"Isn't this too much? Boss, is this really the normal care that the boss's family gives to the employees?" Meng Zixi asked another soul-searching question.

Others had the same doubts.

"..." Jiang Qianxun really couldn't refute this time. She turned to look at Xie Qiong who was standing at the dining table, and wanted to say that Madam Xing should come over and there was no need to be so polite.

Unexpectedly, one of her hands was held by Xie Qiong who came over.

"Chihiro, you're here. Auntie hasn't seen you for a while. Are you feeling well?" Xie Qiong said, and when she looked down, she saw her slightly bulging belly.

Xie Qiong was stunned: "Oh, your belly is so big."

Jiang Qianxun pulled her hand out calmly, smiling distantly but politely: "The child and I are fine, thank you Madam Xing for your concern."

She didn't have many opportunities to interact with Xie Qiong, but their relationship was pretty good. Xie Qiong would occasionally call to ask about her, and she would respond politely.

She thought, Xie Qiong was her child's biological grandmother after all.

But things are different now. She has to distance herself from Xing Mingyu in terms of feelings. To avoid harm to her child and herself, she must learn to put away her enthusiasm, not be greedy, and protect herself. Her tone became cold.

They are all women, so how could Xie Qiong not notice Jiang Qianxun's coldness? If nothing else, just the fact that she didn't call her Aunt Xie and changed it to the distant Madam Xing would make one realize it.

It seems that the future daughter-in-law is very angry and even distances herself from the grandmother of the baby in her belly.

Xie Qiong couldn't help but curse her son a thousand times in her heart.

While cursing her son in her heart, she carefully looked at Jiang Qianxun in front of her and found that her palm-sized face had become even thinner. She felt a little pity for her and was afraid that her sudden visit would be too enthusiastic and cause her psychological pressure again.

Xie Qiong continued the conversation.

"That's good. It's the weekend today, and I'm really bored at home. I just heard Mingyu say that you did a good job on a project in Huai County in the company recently. Thinking of your pregnancy, I just picked some gifts and came to see you. I hope I won't disturb you?"

That's what it was for.

Jiang Qianxun believed it and her smile became more forced, but she quickly suppressed the slight disappointment in her heart.

"Why would it bother you? Madam Xing, you are too expensive and too polite. It is the responsibility and obligation of employees to contribute to the company."

Next to her, Aunt Lan could see the reluctance on her little girl's face. She placed the last plate of beautifully arranged steamed shrimps on the table and took the opportunity to make a move.

"Yes, I just said that Madam Xing was too polite. I was afraid that even a full banquet would not be enough to repay Madam Xing's kindness, so I made this table of dishes. Madam Xing, please don't be disgusted. Come on, everyone, stop standing and come and eat."

Jiang Qianxun looked at Aunt Lan with gratitude and motioned for everyone to take a seat.

When the others heard Xie Qiong's official tone, they thought that this was just because the legendary Madam Xing was too friendly. They didn't think any more about it and sat down together.

According to domestic rules, guests usually sit on the right side of the host, and their companions sit on the left side.

Xie Qiong was a distinguished guest, so she naturally sat on the right side of Jiang Qianxun. When she was about to sit down, Xie Qiong saw that Jiang Qianxun had a slightly protruding belly, and she instinctively reached out to pull out the chair for Jiang Qianxun.

The future daughter-in-law is pregnant with her two precious grandchildren. Not to mention pulling a stool for her, even if she is asked to serve her personally, it is not impossible.

Unexpectedly, a big hand was faster than her and gently pulled the chair back a little.

"Axun, I'll help you."

Xie Qiong looked up and saw a handsome boy with clean looks, elegant and gentle temperament.

Jiang Qianxun was stunned for a moment, turned back and looked at the other person, and actually smiled: "Thank you, Brother Zheng."

The man Jiang Qianxun called Brother Zheng was stunned for two seconds, then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Follow me, you're welcome."

Afterwards, he sat in the accompanying seat to the left of Jiang Qianxun.

Seeing this, Xie Qiong clearly felt that this man had a special relationship with her future daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help but look at him twice.

However, after sitting down, the two of them lowered their heads to eat like ordinary people. Only when they were halfway through the meal, Jiang Qianxun glanced at the juice on the table, and the man naturally reached out to pour her a glass.

It was as if there was an invisible tacit understanding between the two of them, and they knew what the other wanted with just a glance.

Xie Qiong's inner alarm instantly rang, and she felt that the braised pork that Lao Jiang was best known for had lost its fragrance.

Could it be that this fair-skinned and handsome pretty boy wants to pursue her future daughter-in-law?

Xie Qiong's words "little white face" were a compliment in her heart. After all, this boy was indeed gentle and fair-skinned, which was completely different from her son's tough business elite style.

But if you think about it carefully, anyone who has a little common sense will help a pregnant woman in need.

What's more, this group of people are Jiang Qianxun's partners, so it's normal for them to have a tacit understanding.

In the end, Xie Qiong had no choice but to comfort herself, thinking that she must have been overthinking.

However, even if these two people have no relationship at present, who can guarantee that there will be no relationship in the future? Since it is a rare visit, she must make her son's presence felt.

When Uncle Jiang brought a plate of blanched shrimps up, he saw Xie Qiong in a daze and asked with concern, "Madam Xing, is today's dish not to your liking?"

After swallowing the braised pork in his mouth like chewing wax, Xie Qiong came back to his senses and turned the topic to the child and the father with a gentle expression.

"No, it's delicious. When I saw Chihiro pregnant, I thought of myself when I was pregnant, especially with my first child. I was so nervous. No matter what I ate, I had to check Baidu for fear that I would eat something I shouldn't and it would be bad for the baby."

As she spoke, Xie Qiong looked at the juice in Jiang Qianxun's hand: "For example, when I was drinking juice, I saw on the Internet that kiwis would make children's skin whiter, so I drank them. It was said that eating grapes would make children's eyes bigger, so I started eating grapes. It was said that lychees would easily cause internal heat, and I was very greedy, but I didn't dare to eat any..."

"There are also barbecue, chili and other things..."

As soon as this topic was brought up, Aunt Lan and Aunt Song immediately had something to talk about and started talking more.

Needless to say, Song Ma had given birth to a daughter herself, and since the master was the one speaking, there was no reason for her not to show her support. She generously shared her experience and also gave it as a reference to the future Second Young Master's wife.

As for Aunt Lan, although she had never given birth, she had experience in serving Jiang Qianxun's biological mother, so she also joined the conversation.

The rest of the young men and women, except Jiang Qianxun who took notes sincerely, all the others just listened for fun.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Xie Qiong waited for Aunt Lan and Aunt Song to finish speaking before she finally turned to the main topic unnoticeably and looked at Jiang Qianxun, who had remained silent the entire time.

"By the way, Chihiro, I remember you were pregnant with twins. Judging from your belly, the babies are more than four months old now, right?"

Jiang Qianxun finally raised his head: "Yes."

"Then the baby will be born in five months at most. When the baby is born, do you plan to take care of it yourself or let the father take care of it?"

With outsiders present, Xie Qiong couldn't reveal the relationship between Jiang Qianxun and her son without their consent, so she had to lie.

"I'll take it myself." Jiang Qianxun said without hesitation.

"..." Xie Qiong was speechless. Jiang Qianxun was so angry that she didn't even take care of the child for them.

Xing Mingyu, look at what you have done!

Xie Qiong scolded her son again.

However, despite all the complaints, Xie Qiong still strongly recommended her son and tried her best to create opportunities for them to be together, otherwise the cold war would drag on until the end of time.

"That's impossible. I also have a pair of twin grandchildren. You don't know how hard it is to take care of two children at once. Just feeding them in the middle of the night will take up the entire night. As a mother, I don't have time to sleep at all."

"So I think it's better to let the father take care of the child. He has a share in the child anyway, so why should he make you work so hard, right?"

Therefore, it is better for the couple to raise the child together.

However, these words had another meaning to Aunt Lan.

Mr. Xing has just made everyone so angry, and now Mrs. Xing wants to snatch the child away?

The eldest lady has no relatives, and the child in her belly is her life. Since someone wants to take her child, she will not be polite.

"How can a man take care of a child? He is so careless that he doesn't even notice if his child falls to the ground while sleeping. There was a news report not long ago that a child suffocated because the quilt covered his mouth and nose while sleeping. The father was a novice and didn't notice it because he overslept."

Aunt Lan said this while using a serving chopstick to pick up food for Xie Qiong, trying to make the atmosphere less awkward, after all, there were outsiders present.

"Mrs. Xing, please eat."

Auntie Lan continued while warmly entertaining us: "Also, every June, there are always news reports about children being forgotten in cars. Surveys show that most of these accidents are caused by the father's carelessness. Mrs. Xing, don't you agree?"

"......" Xie Qiong felt that she was about to lose the argument with Aunt Lan, because she had also read the news that Aunt Lan talked about.

Looking at Jiang Qianxun again, her smile had always been faint and cold, but after hearing Aunt Lan's words, she curled the corners of her lips in agreement, obviously agreeing with Aunt Lan's words.

Seeing this, Xie Qiong became a little anxious. She wanted to refute but couldn't. Finally, she could only look at Uncle Jiang who was picking up food for Aunt Lan.

"Not necessarily. Men can be careful sometimes. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Jiang. Lao Jiang, you are also a man. Tell me, who is right, me or Auntie Lan?"

"..."

Uncle Jiang almost couldn’t hold the chopsticks when he was suddenly called.

He was just quietly serving his sweetheart dinner and eating some watermelon at the same time. How come such a life-threatening problem suddenly fell on him?

This makes it very difficult for him.

On one side is Aunt Lan, and on the other side is the Xie family. If you help the Xie family, the sweetheart that you have finally coaxed will be angry.

Helping my beloved, but feeling sorry for the Xing family...

Uncle Jiang had a headache. He thought for a while while holding the chopsticks, and finally chose the 36th strategy - running away.

"Well... I'm an unmarried older man, and I don't know what you're asking me. Oh, I see this plate of pork knuckles is almost gone, I'll bring you another half plate."

After saying that, he took the plate and fled to the small restaurant.

Uncle Jiang had an uneasy meal.

Xie Qiong was not much better off. First, there was a pretty boy at the dinner party who seemed to be eyeing her future daughter-in-law. Later, when she said a few good words on behalf of her son, it had no effect. It would be strange if she could eat it.

So the dinner ended in an atmosphere that seemed warm on the surface but was actually dull and boring.

Jiang Qianxun saw that the dinner was finally over. She didn't want to stay with Xie Qiong any longer and looked at Brother Zheng. She was about to speak and continue the meeting when Xie Qiong came over again.

"Chihiro, I just had a meal, and pregnant women need to digest the food. I also want to visit your house, so why don't you take me for a walk?"

Having said that, he pulled her away without saying anything, leaving Chen Zheng standing there with his gentle brows slightly frowned.
