Although Xu Mingzhi had already given the children many gifts, she had been holding back from going to the hospital so that her daughter would not be suspicious.
However, she missed them so much that it felt like there were hundreds of small needles pricking her.
In her eyes, these two little babies, be it the older brother or the younger sister, were exactly the same as her daughter when she was young.
That was the continuation of her baby’s life, and also the continuation of her life.
She was happy and touched, but at the same time, she was sad and reluctant.
They had clearly been looking forward to these two little fellows for so long. If she could see them grow up and train them in martial arts like how she used to teach her daughter, how good would that be?
Greed was a human instinct. The closer one was to the day of death, the more unreal everything seemed.
Xu Mingzhi played with her babies while she held her granddaughter in her arms.
Her granddaughter held her fingers with her soft little hands and looked at her with her big eyes. In an instant, a faint blue halo flashed.
Xu Mingzhi happened to turn back to Du Meilan at that time and did not see this strange phenomenon. When she turned back, her granddaughter was still as cute as a doll. She shook her granddaughter’s small hand and couldn’t help biting her small fist and bumping fists with her.
Du Meilan quietly put down her phone and joined her.
In the Pei family’s special baby activity room, there was an extremely spacious empty space. The ground was covered with large apricot and ivory colored baby mats. Du Meilan and Xu Mingzhi each had a baby. There was room for more people.
The little darling’s charm was endless. An hour passed in a flash, and Xu Mingzhi finally remembered the purpose of her visit today.
Her daughter and son-in-law had not appeared yet. Xu Mingzhi asked Du Meilan,” is our baby not at home?”
Du Meilan smiled without batting an eyelid, her tone very natural. “Yeah, they went out. Why don’t you call Su Ji.”
Xu Mingzhi frowned in confusion.
It was impossible for her daughter to forget that today was the day of her follow-up consultation, but she had not returned for the entire morning. This was very abnormal.
However, Xu Mingzhi didn’t have time to think about it and the call was connected.
It was picked up quite quickly.
“Baby,” she said with a smile, “I am already at the Pei family’s house. Did you guys go out?”
“Yes, something came up.” Su Ji’s voice was muffled. “We have something else to do. Wait for me at the Pei family’s house. Don’t go anywhere until then. Don’t worry about work.”
Her tone was not much different from usual, so Xu Mingzhi was not on guard at first.
Thinking that this request was not too much, she took it as giving herself a morning off.
“Alright, then baby,” she asked, “when are you coming back?”
However, her daughter replied, “three days later.”
Xu Mingzhi: “???”
“You want Mom to stay in the Pei family for three days?” She quickly glanced at her in-law, who stood up faster than her. She naturally called out to Aunt Wu who was passing by, “have you cleaned up her room?”
Xu Mingzhi narrowed her eyes.
She seemed to have fallen into a trap!
Was today a trap?
Fortunately, when she came in, she had asked Wei Wei to wait for her in the car in case of an emergency. Now, she walked to the window and explained to the phone.
“It’s not a problem to wait for you. It’s alright, but if I can’t go to the office for three days, those old things will definitely overturn the company!”
Su Ji pinched the space between her eyebrows. “Just three days. Try it. The sky won’t fall.”
“I won’t,” Xu Mingzhi said as she came to the window sill. “But my company will collapse!”
“Can you listen to me for once…”
Before she could finish her words, Madam Xu exclaimed in surprise, “hey, where’s my car??”
When she came, the car was parked in the courtyard, not far from the window.
However, Wei Wei and the car were nowhere to be seen.
Xu Mingzhi hung up and pressed a few buttons on the phone. He placed it beside her ear and called Wei Wei.
The first time, no one picked up until the call ended. The second time, the result was the same.
Just as she was about to flare up, Wei Wei sent her a message.
[ “CEO Xu, just take it as a three-day vacation. I’ll be watching over the company. I won’t let those old foxes on the board of directors take advantage of the situation!” ]
