Chapter 276 – The Consequences Of Not Sentencing Words Properly
The lines on Jiang Yubi's forehead slightly creased at Wei's mention. There was a flicker of hope in her eyes for just a moment that quickly died down as soon as it came.
But she didn't pursue it anymore. She smiled. "How are things at the main residence?"
"Oh, good! FaiFai is getting busy with his school. Hehe and not just that, he is already getting so many offers as a comic artist. The teenager is rolling in money haha. Of course, Aunt Xiurang is proud of him. FaiFai is also enjoying his work."
She beamed. "Yes! Weizhe brought me a copy of that comic. I must say that I really loved it. Xiurang would be so proud. I am really happy for her," her gaze dimmed. "She has suffered a lot because of Li Tingzhe."
Lihua nodded. "But now Aunt is nothing like before! She is truly enjoying her life with FaiFai. Then Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang are also excited for their wedding. Though Old Madam is still deciding on the date, Jiang Ruiling has already started shopping. Poor Shen Yang holds all the shopping bags instead of guarding haha!"
Jiang Yubi widened her eyes and softly chuckled. "I am glad to hear that. I remember I had seen her once. At that time, she looked serious and so mature. But that kind of felt…sad to me. She and Li were so young, yet they didn't get any time to be children."
Lihua smiled.
Jiang Yubi was slightly grim and anxious as she asked, "How about Li? Weizhe told me all about Li…It's heartbreaking to hear about his accident."
"Don't worry, Mom. Things were pretty serious before, but after meeting Mingshen, we have hope. Jiang Li is in his capable hands now. Jiang Lanying is also doing her best to support him."
"I am proud of her too. I saw the press conference she held and I was so glad to see that she stood up for Li. It must have been hard."
She nodded. "Jiang Lanying was awesome! She turned the tide and face-slapped all those useless scums in a matter of a few minutes!"
Jiang Yubi giggled. "I imagined everybody's expressions who insulted Li until now and trust me, it was a very satisfying feeling."
Lihua laughed along with her.
"How are Weiyuan and Ninghong?"
"Yup, Uncle and Aunt are doing great. They were worried about Jiang Li at first, but ever since Mingshen gave the good news, they look a lot relieved now."
"I see. That's great."
Jiang Yubi hesitated a little to ask about Wei. "W-what about Wei?"
Lihua said, "En! Wei is as Godly handsome as ever," she blushed.
"Ah?"
Lihua cleared her throat. "I mean, Wei is doing good too. Though, we are having a little argument, hmph!"
She was surprised. "Argument? And Wei with you?"
She had trouble digesting this fact somehow. As far as she has heard from Weizhe, Wei dotes on Lihua so much that he never even thinks about arguing with Lihua.
"What is it about?"
Lihua pursed her lips in grievance. "Hear this Mom! What do you think? Do you want a cute little boy who would look exactly like Wei or would you want an adorable angel girl like me? I think that it would be awesome to have a little Wei but Wei wants to have a little Lixue."
Jiang Yubi blinked her eyes. Then as she realized the context, her eyes sparkled like the brightest star in the universe.
"Oh, oh, oh! Li-Lixue…are you pregnant?" She sharply gasped.
"…"
She puked blood in shock.
What!?
"Oh my God! I am going to be a grandmother!? This is such happy news! Ahhhh, I cannot contain my happiness at all! I will finally be able to see my grandchild!" Jiang Yubi was so happy that she was already dancing in her place.
"…"
Wait a minute, how did the conversation take this turn?
"How many months has it been? Are you feeling okay? Is the morning sickness too bad? Oh, wait a minute!"
Jiang Yubi already got up from her place and hopped towards the cupboard. She took out some old clothes and placed them in front of her.
"Look. I have Wei's some of the old baby clothes with me. You can use them for your child. It's not good for newborns to wear new clothes. Their skin is too sensitive."
Lihua choked in her throat. "M-Mom…"
She took a glance at her and furrowed her brows. "Lixue, this is not good. You need to start eating healthy food now. You look thin to me. A pregnant woman should have a proper weight or the baby and mother would have difficulties. You need to eat more. Is Wei not taking proper care of you?" She pursed her lips.
She sighed. "But I also understand. In the initial months, the morning sickness is too bad. You don't feel like eating anything."
"…"
Lihua gulped.
Ah, ah! Mom is…damn it, it's my fault! I should have worded my sentence properly! She isn't wrong if she jumped into conclusion, she sobbed.
"Haha…Mom, you are misunderstanding something," She wiped the sweat off her forehead. "I am not pregnant."
Jiang Yubi blinked her eyes. "Ah? You are not? Didn't you ask about a little Wei and Lixue?"
She awkwardly laughed. "Y-yes but not in a way that I am pregnant. One day, we were shopping with Jiang Li and Jiang Lanying and the topic just came naturally. So ever since that day, whenever we talk about our child, we always get into an argument."
"Oh!" Jiang Yubi lightly smacked herself on the forehead. "I get it now. Sorry for thinking so far ahead. When you talked about your child, I got too excited."
Lihua sheepishly scratched her chin. "It's not your fault. I said it in a confusion manner," She sobbed, "Mingshen is right when he says that I am dumb."
"Of course not! You are the most adorable," she chuckled.
"Did you and Dad have such silly arguments too?" She laughed.
Jiang Yubi's gaze dimmed. "No…"
