However, the last time they discussed this, Shi Yuting adamantly said that he not want to have a second child.
And she still did not understand why not.
Could it be that he did not want a son?
No, he wanted a son, but why wouldnât he let her get pregnant with another?
Could it be that... he could not have a second child?
Cough, cough!
Zuo Weiyi shuddered and dispelled the strange thought in her mind. How could a man not have a second child? When did her imagination get so wild?!
âWhy do want a boy? Arenât girls quite adorable?â Zuo Yi frowned and hoped that his granddaughter would give birth to great-granddaughters for him to play with. âI mean, look at our Weiyi! Sheâs so obedient and sensible.â
âIâm not saying that girls are bad, itâs just that...â Shi Le started. In his heart, he just hoped for a boy to inherit the family business, not because he purely had a patriarchal mentality. âI have such a huge family business. Someone has to inherit it, right?â
Zuo Yi also somewhat agreed.
Just like his current family business, he had originally planned to let Weiyi inherit it all, but she did not want a single cent and let him donate it all to charity.
He had gone through so many stuggles throughout his life to attain what he had. But in the end, he still wouldnât be able to bring them with him to the afterlife. It was as if he struggled only for the sake of others. Therefore, he could understand how Shi Le felt.
The Shi family had a big business and indeed needed an heir.
âThen, just have a second child!â
âGosh, isnât it still uncertain whether theyâll be boys or girls? What if sheâs pregnant with both a boy and a girl? We canât be sure about everything!â Shi Nuannuan could not help but speak up.
She felt that the discussion among the elders was simply putting pressure on her sister-in-law!
âThatâs right, weâre still not sure about the gender. Why are you in such a hurry?â Zuo Yi glanced at Shi Le with disdain.
Shi Le was instantly speechless.
For lunch, Xiao Cui had to prepare more food due to their arrival.
She was very glad they had arrived, because she wouldnât have to add that thing to Weiyiâs food then.
However, just as she heaved a sigh of relief, the phone in her apron pocket rang.
It was an unknown number.
She frowned and immediately picked up. âHello?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The other partyâs voice was very low, so she couldnât tell whose it was.
âDid you add it in?â
As soon as the other party said that, Xiao Cuiâs tensed up.
âI...â
âYou didnât add it in?!â The other partyâs tone was obviously a little unhappy. âWhat, are you going to watch your lover die?â
âDonât touch him!â Xiao Cui tried her best to keep her voice low so that Zuo Weiyi and the others couldnât hear her from the living room. But even so, she couldnât hide her anxious tone.
âThen do as we say.â Xiao Cui was threatened again. âIf you keep this up, I promise Iâll send Xiao Song to prison tomorrow and make sure he never comes back!â
âNo, no, I...â Xiao Cui became more anxious. She had lived for more than twenty years and had never felt so helpless and desperate.
She had no family and lost the warmth of her parents since she was young. She didnât know what it was like to have a family. All she knew was to serve people, so no one had ever loved or cared for her. Xiao Song was the first.
However, it was either her lover or her madam who had treated her so well. How was she going to choose? What was she going to do?
