Thanks to Tom Melody, a pile of evidence was brought back, and with the direction provided by Mom Zhan, Zhan Bei Jue finally found the loopholes in Mr. and Mrs. Gao's dealings.
Although many interests were involved, they were ultimately given their due punishment.
Due to the magnitude of the incident, it even made headlines on various news sections.
It was listed by the news media as a major incident, 322.
After dealing with their affairs, on the sixth day of the third lunar month, Jiang Nan Fang welcomed her fifth child.
Zhan Bei Jue had been longing for another daughter, but unfortunately, fate did not grant his wish, and he was given another son.
Lu Ming Zhe happened to be in South City on business, and he, Zhou Jin Bei, and Ah Zhong were the first to arrive at the hospital to offer congratulations.
Zhou Jin Bei's due date was around the same as Jiang Nan Fang's. She had already given birth, but she was still unaware, bouncing around more energetically than anyone else.
Ah Zhong followed closely, reminding her cautiously, "Slow down. The doctor said your due date is within these two days. Don't cause any trouble."
Lu Ming Zhe looked at Zhou Jin Bei's belly and made a bet with Zhan Bei Jue.
"She'll definitely give birth to a daughter, and one with the same temper as her. Do you believe me? The only person who can control her in this world is her daughter."
"What were you thinking when you let her marry Ah Zhong? If she gives birth to another female demon, Ah Zhong will have a tough life."
Zhan Bei Jue was preparing water for a new milk bottle. "I didn't let her marry him. I even tried to stop them. It was Ah Zhong himself who jumped into the fire pit..."
"That's not necessarily true. What if it's a son? Anyway, I can't be the only one having sons; you all have to have them. Then we'll compete for daughters-in-law based on our abilities."
While they were joking, Zhou Jin Bei slipped and stumbled forward. Although Ah Zhong caught her, she twisted her waist and immediately felt a pain in her abdomen.
Everyone rushed to help her to the obstetrics and gynecology department. More than three hours later, good news arrived.
Zhou Jin Bei had given birth.
Lu Ming Zhe's ill-omened words had come true; she had given birth to a daughter.
A chubby girl weighing eight pounds and six ounces, her cries echoed throughout the entire obstetrics and gynecology department. Because she was so pink and tender and beautiful, all the medical staff gathered to admire her.
Tang Nan Nan and Hu Jia Sheng also came.
Hu Jia Sheng was not affected by Madam Gao's incident and was in the same state as before.
Moreover, perhaps because he was in a relationship, he appeared even more gentle, exceptionally courteous, and very likable.
Every time the little ones saw him, they couldn't help but urge him to get married.
"Uncle, when are you going to marry Sister Nan Nan? Everyone is having babies. When will you have a little brother or sister?"
Tang Nan Nan pinched Ge Er's face.
"Didn't Mommy just give you a little brother? Why do you still want a brother or sister?"
Ge Er said, "I don't want a brother. I've always wanted a sister. It seems Mommy can't fulfill this wish for me. Sister Nan Nan, hurry up and marry my uncle. I'll take care of your daughter when you have one, I promise to raise her to be fair and plump!"
Over the past year, having heard so much discussion about raising children, Ge Er and Tian Tian had almost become half childcare experts. They used words like "fair and plump" so naturally that it made Tang Nan Nan chuckle.
While squatting on the ground and joking with the children, Chen Jiao Jiao arrived, accompanied by Xiang Yang.
The spring air was chilly, and pregnant women were particularly afraid of the cold. Chen Jiao Jiao wore a fluffy coat, gloves, and a scarf, making her look like she was preparing for something.
Upon hearing that the sisters-in-law were giving birth on the same day, one after the other, she excitedly exclaimed as soon as she entered the ward.
"I told you, why didn't you two just choose a C-section and give birth at the same time? You didn't listen to me. And now you've ended up giving birth on the same day..."
Mid-sentence, she saw Hu Jia Sheng and held back the rest of her words.
Hu Jia Sheng had met Xiang Yang once before, but after such a long time, both had somewhat forgotten.
But seeing Chen Jiao Jiao's expression, Xiang Yang probably guessed correctly again.
He didn't mind and took the initiative to extend his hand to Hu Jia Sheng.
"Hello."
Hu Jia Sheng also guessed his identity and smiled, "Hello. Are you married already?"
"Yes, the baby is a few months old," Xiang Yang said, pointing to Chen Jiao Jiao's belly.
Hu Jia Sheng looked a little apologetic. "Congratulations. I didn't know you two got married, so I couldn't attend the wedding..."
Xiang Yang said, "It's good that you didn't know. We didn't have a wedding."
Tang Nan Nan heard Hu Jia Sheng greeting someone and stood up, politely nodding to them as well.
Xiang Yang sized her up. "Girlfriend? Aren't you going to introduce her?"
Hu Jia Sheng took Tang Nan Nan's hand and pulled her closer, introducing her.
"This is my girlfriend, Tang Nan Nan. Nan Nan, this is Chen Jiao Jiao. I mentioned her to you before. This is her husband."
Chen Jiao Jiao and Tang Nan Nan looked at each other. They had already met each other, introduced by Jiang Nan Fang.
They just hadn't expected that the two of them would be Hu Jia Sheng's ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend.
Last month, Tang Nan Nan was still getting a facial at Chen Jiao Jiao's beauty salon. Seeing her pregnant, she had said many words of praise.
Chen Jiao Jiao quite liked her.
Although both were a little surprised after learning the truth, they were already friends who had accepted each other. After reacting, they felt more amused.
Jiang Nan Fang had gone to great lengths to ensure these friends could get along peacefully.
To avoid ruining the atmosphere and to honor Jiang Nan Fang's good intentions, after a moment of silence, they both extended their hands simultaneously.
"Hello."
"You're still so beautiful and in such good shape even when you're pregnant. I'm so envious of you."
"Of course. I'm a professional in beauty. How can I not be beautiful? Here's my business card. You're welcome to come and become beautiful together in the future."
After saying that, Chen Jiao Jiao solemnly gave Tang Nan Nan a business card and then looked at Hu Jia Sheng.
"Good taste. Your girlfriend is very beautiful. Treat her well in the future."
"Say what you need to say, don't keep it to yourself. No one is a mind-reader. If you don't say what you're thinking, others won't know, and won't they misunderstand you?"
Hu Jia Sheng was very happy that she could speak like this, as it meant Chen Jiao Jiao had forgiven him.
He had indeed been wrong about what happened back then. They had broken up without clarifying things, leaving everything ambiguous.
"I understand."
"Do you have plans to get married? Will you invite me when you get married?"
Hu Jia Sheng had originally planned to propose to Tang Nan Nan after the house in Suzhou was settled.
Perhaps her parents would also have come out by then.
But looking at it now, it seemed unnecessary to wait until then.
"Of course, we're getting married. Don't worry, I'll definitely invite you then."
Chen Jiao Jiao took Tang Nan Nan's hand.
"Nan Nan, be assertive and ask for a generous betrothal gift. We are all your family here. If he dares to bully you in the future, tell us, and none of us will let him off."
"I know, thank you, Jiao Jiao."
"You're welcome. Since you know I'm pregnant, you'll have to come to the wedding banquet when the baby is born."
"Did you hear that, Uncle Hu? Give my child a big red envelope."
