Chapter 678 Jin Bao is pregnant again
Gui'er watched the two men's furtive backs, and suspicions suddenly grew in her heart. After they walked away, she couldn't help but ask Sha Yanyao: "Brother, these two people look familiar. I remember seeing them somewhere before. What exactly do they do?"
Sha Yanyao put down his chopsticks and explained, "These two used to be Director Zhou's right-hand men. After Director Zhou passed away, they were marginalized. Now they are responsible for field work, specializing in investigating progressive students, progressive individuals, and potential Japanese spies. But speaking of it, their professional capabilities are actually quite good."
Gui'er couldn't help but become more alert after hearing this, but on the surface she responded as if nothing had happened: "Oh, so that's how it is."
The family was happily eating breakfast when suddenly the young master started to cry.
"He must be hungry. Let's take him to feed him quickly." The lady said calmly, as if she were an experienced person.
Miss Tian threw her chopsticks on the table impatiently and walked away with the nanny.
While Miss Tian and the wet nurse were taking the young master elsewhere to feed, Sha Yanyao's face suddenly revealed an irrepressible joy. He lowered his voice and said to everyone, "I have good news for you. Jinbao is pregnant again. This time we're having breakfast together as a celebration."
The lady was stunned at first, then a smile spread across her face: "This is great news, our Sha family is going to have another baby."
Although Gui'er was surprised, she also smiled and congratulated him, "Brother, this is really great."
Sha Yanyao said to Gui'er, "I plan to keep your sister-in-law's situation a secret for now, to prevent her from causing trouble again. It's not convenient for me to go to Jinbao's place often. Can you help me check on her from time to time to check on her health or if there's anything she needs?"
Guier nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
Gui'er found a free moment and went to visit Jinbao's apartment. Upon entering, she was struck by the sleek, brand-new feel of the place. In the living room, a brand-new European-style sofa sat, its leather soft and smooth, with a subtle sheen. The backrests were covered with exquisitely embroidered cushions, vibrant in color and delicately stitched, a true artifact of a renowned embroidery workshop. The coffee table, crafted from high-quality marble with a naturally flowing texture, held a Jingdezhen blue-and-white porcelain tea set. The cups were delicate, and the teapots were intricately painted with lifelike floral and bird designs.
A tall, Western-style wardrobe stood against the wall, its doors inlaid with carved glass, reflecting a dazzling light. Atop the wardrobe, pots of vibrant flowers emanated a fragrance that brought a touch of life to the room. In the bedroom, the bed was covered with a soft satin coverlet embroidered with rich peonies, its tassels swaying gently in the breeze. At the foot of the bed sat an exquisite dressing table, filled with imported cosmetics and jewelry boxes, the gemstones inlaid in the boxes gleaming brightly.
Jin Bao came out from the inner room. She was wearing an imported dress, exuding the grace of a noble lady, and greeted them with a beaming smile. "Guier, you're finally here," she said, taking Guier's hand. "Look, Yan Yao is so kind to me. He bought all these for me. He even arranged for a number of servants to take care of me meticulously."
Gui'er looked at the lavish furnishings throughout the house. How could Sha Yanyao afford so much of this stuff when the eldest wife was always complaining about being poor? She tactfully chose not to ask, but smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Big Brother cares about you. However, you're pregnant now, so you should be more cautious. If Big Sister-in-law knew, there would probably be another big fuss."
Jin Bao waved his hand dismissively, "What can she do? I'm pregnant now, and Yan Yao loves me so much, I don't think she would dare to do anything to me."
Gui'er frowned and said seriously, "Don't you know your sister-in-law? If she gets angry, she can do anything. Don't underestimate her. It's better to be careful."
After hearing this, Jin Bao's smile faded a little. "You're right. I'll have to be more careful. But I'm just so happy that I can't help but show off."
Gui'er smiled helplessly, "I understand how you feel. But you should keep a low profile and not cause trouble for Big Brother and me. By the way, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jin Bao patted his belly and said happily, "I'm in good health, but I feel tired sometimes. The doctor said it's normal and told me to rest more."
The two chatted about family matters for a while, and Guier reminded Jinbao of some precautions during pregnancy before saying goodbye and leaving.
After returning to school, the teachers have begun to urge the students to review and prepare for the final exams. After the exams, it will be summer vacation.
During a break, Zhou Huifang lay on her desk and sighed, "Ah, time flies! We only have one year left before graduation. Look, many of my classmates already have found a partner, but as for me, even though a relative offered to introduce me to someone, there's still no follow-up."
Gui'er listened, and as she recalled the events of the past two years in Nanjing, she felt a surge of emotion, as if it had been so long. She thought about finishing junior high school in Nanjing, and how uncertain her future would be. If she remembered correctly, in two years, the shocking event would happen here, and by then, many of her classmates would likely be gone. The thought of this brought a wave of sadness to her heart.
Later, Gui'er discussed this matter with Miss Shen: "Sister Fengshu, I'm very hesitant now. I haven't been happy these past two years living in the Sha Mansion. Besides, I still have to go back to deal with Taohua and my eldest brother's marriage. Every time I go back during the holidays, it always feels like there's no result. I don't know if I should continue studying in Nanjing."
After hearing this, Miss Shen gently patted Gui'er's shoulder and said earnestly, "Guier, I understand how you feel. But think about it, if you stay in Nanjing to continue your studies, I can take care of you. And our work can continue. You've done an excellent job at the printing station, and the organization values you very much. This is a contribution to the revolutionary cause."
Gui'er bit her lip. "I know all this, but I'm still worried about what's happening back home. And when I think about what might happen in the future, I get scared."
Miss Shen looked into Gui'er's eyes and said seriously, "Precisely because the future is full of uncertainty, we must work even harder. If you stay in Nanjing, you can complete your studies and contribute to the revolution. As for family matters, we can find a way to resolve them slowly. However, now that your second brother has taken power, even if you return to Jiangcheng, it will be a good option. However, when it comes to education, Nanjing is of course more advantageous. Consider this for yourself."
