"That's good," Yu Mo'er nodded slightly and asked about the schedule for the upcoming work, which could only be postponed as much as possible. Ning Yuan would take care of the details of the notification.
Just as Yu Mo'er was about to rest for a while, her phone rang again. Looking at the flashing screen, her eyes flickered as she answered, "Hello? Grandpa."
"Mo'er, when are you coming back?" her grandfather asked.
"Is there something wrong, Grandpa?" Yu Mo'er was startled, thinking that her grandfather had found out about her foot injury.
Grandfather Yu coughed lightly, "Ahem, nothing major, I just miss you."
Yu Mo'er smiled faintly, "Grandpa, I've been too busy with work lately and can't come back.you have anything to say, just tell me over the phone."
"Okay." Grandfather Yu hesitated a bit on the other end of the phone, "Mo'er, I'm very happy to see you have such a good career development. Since you're not interested in the family company, I was thinking..."
"Grandpa!" Yu Mo'er interrupted before her grandfather could finish, "Why are you bringing this up out of nowhere?"
Grandfather Yu sighed helplessly, "I'm getting old now and I originally thought I could hand the company over to you, but now that you have your own career, I just don't want you to be too tired."
"So you're planning to hand the company over to Ali?" Yu Mo'er didn't even realize that her voice was shaking as she spoke, her throat struggling to swallow, as if something was stuck.
"Hmph! What use is she?" Grandfather Yu said disdainfully, "She's just like her mother. If I really gave the company to her, we'd be finished!"
As he spoke, Grandfather Yu's voice gradually became calmer, "It's for your future little brother."
"Little brother?" Yu Mo'er was a bit confused and didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
"Yes, it's a boy. Your father just came over today and said that they did a pregnancy test with Fang Jiu and it's a boy."
Despite being on the phone, Yu Mo'er could still hear the joy in her grandfather's voice. "Mo'er, as a young girl, you don't need to work too hard. Don't exhaust yourself," he said. "Well, I won't bother you with anything else. Rest well!" The phone clicked off.
Yu Mo'er sat on her bed, staring blankly ahead for a while until Ning Yuan called her name, bringing her back to reality. "Huh?" she said, looking up at him with a confused expression. "What?""What were you thinking just now? You seemed lost in thought," Ning Yuan asked, pulling a stool out from under the bed and sitting down. "You have the next two days off, so rest well."
"Nothing," Yu Mo'er finally replied, but she didn't feel comfortable telling anyone about her worries. Ning Yuan looked at her seriously, waiting for her to continue, but she remained silent.
Yang Jie, who had been watching Yu Mo'er, spoke up. Although she had stopped worrying about how to solve the problem, she still felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen. Suddenly, Yu Li's phone rang, displaying "Mom" on the screen. She answered, "Mom, why are you calling so late? You're pregnant and need to rest."
"Ally, I know what happened online," the voice on the other end of Fang Jiu's phone deliberately lowered a few notches, sounding a little angry. "Are you really my daughter? How could you do such a stupid thing?"
"..." Ally rolled her eyes. It wasn't her who was stupid, it was the system!
[Newly appointed "scapegoat" system: ...]
"Mom, did you call just to talk about this?" Ally asked casually.
"Now your father knows, and he's very angry. You better think about how to explain it!" Fang Jiu said.
"There's nothing to explain."
"I think you're trying to kill me with anger!" Fang Jiu scolded.
"Mom, don't get angry. It's bad for your health. Think about my unborn brother."
"Brother..." Fang Jiu hadn't finished her sentence when she suddenly thought of something, and her mouth curved up. "You guessed it right, it's a brother."
Ally smiled happily. "I knew it."
"But let's stick to the topic," Fang Jiu reprimanded.
Ally was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a figure outside the door. She quickly said, "I'll talk to you later," and hung up the phone.
Ren Jingchen walked in with a gloomy face, bringing in the chill of the night. His dark eyes stared at Ally deeply.
"What's wrong? Is this guy constipated?" Ally thought to herself.
"Were you purposely here to pick me up, hubby?" Yu Li's face lit up with joy as she hugged Ren Jingchen's arm. "You're so good to me~"
"..." Yang Jie felt it necessary to remind Yu Li that Ren Jingchen looked like he was about to kill someone. How did she even know that he was here to pick her up? He might as well be here to settle scores with her! Ren Jingchen's hands, hanging by his side, clenched slightly as he forcefully broke free from Yu Li's embrace. "What are you trying to do?"
"Me? What's wrong?" Yu Li looked at Ren Jingchen with a puzzled expression. "Why are you suddenly angry?"
Ren Jingchen's chest heaved up and down violently, indicating that he was very angry.
Ren Jingchen looked at Yu Li's expression, which was completely different from what he had expected. He regretted not divorcing her that day!
Regardless of what this woman was up to, the most important thing for him was Mo'er!
"Yu Li, let's talk about this at home." Ren Jingchen turned around and left without another word.
"Yay, are you finally going to file for divorce? So moved~ Sister will finally be free. You little dogs, wait for me~" Yu Li's untimely thoughts echoed in Ren Jingchen's mind, causing his dark pupils to narrow. This woman seemed to be quite happy.
"Yu Li, let's talk about this at home." Ren Jingchen turned around and left without another word.
"You bastard, why aren't you filing for divorce? I'm so sad..."
"Sigh, I don't know when this hardship will end. Little bok choy, why aren't you turning yellow in the fields..."Quiet! In the spacious living room, even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard clearly. Yu Li and Ren Jingchen sat obediently on the sofa, not daring to speak a word.
"Why did Grandpa come again? Why does Ren Jingchen always complain?" Yu Li thought to herself.
"You're only three years old, do you have to involve Grandpa?" Grandpa Ren scolded. Yu Li knew that once Grandpa Ren got involved, there was no chance of divorce for them.
"Hmph!" Grandpa Ren slammed his cane on the floor, his face turning red with anger. "You two are always causing trouble. Do you want to kill me with anger?"
"Grandpa, we can solve this ourselves," Ren Jingchen's dark eyes dimmed as he tightened his fingers on the back of his wheelchair,speaking in a cold voice.
"You can solve it yourselves?" Grandpa Ren's chest heaved up and down as he raised his voice. "If you can solve it, why make such a big fuss?"
"Grandpa-"
"Shut up! I'll teach you later!" Grandpa Ren interrupted Yu Li before she could finish speaking.
Grandpa Ren was about to scold Ren Jingchen when Yu Li suddenly burst into tears.
Grandpa Ren was good at scolding people, but he had never seen a crying girl before. He put aside all his scolding and asked softly, "Why are you crying?"
Yu Li sniffled and tears streamed down her face. She couldn't wipe them away fast enough. Luckily, she had just finished her makeup, or she would have looked like a ghost.
"Grandpa, I'm not crying. I just feel wronged," Yu Li said in a long and broken sentence.
