Chapter 240 Are you pregnant?
Strange to say, Zhou Ji felt inexplicably kind to the little girl next to him who was not afraid of strangers, but looked like a little adult, but if it was really Si Teng, why didn't he see any clues, and even the human face pendant didn't respond at all ?
After all, she is a major client of her company, Zhong Xiaoqin and Zhou Ji had a simple polite manner for a while, Zhou Ji also knew that Xizhu was the child of a distant relative of her husband's family, and stayed at their house for a few days.
When asked why Zhou Ji came here, Zhou Ji said quietly that he came to Shanghai to find someone.
"She always loves beauty, and the dressing table is always full of cosmetics. She will find someone to order a set of cheongsam every few days. When she just passed by the mall, she accidentally saw the beauty counter and wanted to come in. Maybe she can buy it in the store. We happened to meet her again in the dimly lit place." Zhou Ji said, glancing at the little one next to him out of the corner of his eye.
Zhong Xiaoqin’s favorite thing to watch is dog-blooded idol dramas, and she catches her heart and lungs after chasing dramas every day. Now seeing Zhou Ji say such words with a sense of sadness, she feels that the gossip soul in her body is about to move,
Xizhu next to him yawned, and impatiently tugged at the corner of Zhong Xiaoqin's clothes, beckoning her to go home quickly.
In desperation, Zhong Xiaoqin had no choice but to hold Xizhu's little hand, and bid farewell to Zhou Ji with unsatisfied intentions, before walking outside the mall, she suddenly realized, annoyed: "Oh, I forgot to ask the name of the person he was looking for. "
After the simple chat just now, at least 60 episodes of **** romance have emerged in her mind. The script is almost finished, but Zhong Xiaoqin feels a pang of regret that she still doesn't know the name of the heroine.
‘Si Teng.’
Xizhu looked back at the brightly lit shopping mall building, a little joy flashed in his eyes that was hard to hide, but his face was full of disdain, and he curled his lips and said, "What's the point of asking? The words are so nice , Maybe we really met, and we wouldn’t recognize him even if we met.”
Speaking of this, Xizhu had a little emotion for no reason. She deliberately sealed off all the demon powers, shielded the human face pendant and her own breath fluctuations, and faded into such a small appearance to prevent Zhou Ji from recognizing herself.
But when her goal was achieved, the joy in her heart was not as much as anger.
Vigorously wrote a note to Zhou Ji in the small notebook, Xizhu turned around and gritted his teeth silently.
Getting on the bus, Zhong Xiaoqin was still brainstorming the details of the plot. The drama she was chasing in the past two days was about to end, and she was about to fall into the unfinished syndrome of chasing a drama, and urgently needed a new brainstorming to soothe this melancholy.
Found two empty seats in the back row, and as soon as Zhong Xiaoqin sat down, she couldn't help but said, "Xiao Xizhu~ Why do you think the girl Mr. Zhou is looking for is avoiding him?"
Xizhu curled his lips, and said disdainfully: "Then needless to say, is it scum?"
"Is that girl a scum?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked in surprise.
"No!" Xizhu's anger rose, and his tone became a little more serious, "He must be a scum!"
"Hey~hehe~~Of course I understand what you mean, I deliberately teased you~~" Zhong Xiaoqin showed a silly and sweet smile, and reached out to touch Xizhu's chin, but she avoided it left and right. "However, how do you know about this? Seeing how affectionate he is when he speaks, he doesn't look like a scumbag, does he?"
"Hehe~" Xizhu folded his hands on his shoulders, tilted his head slightly to look at the light and shadow flowing outside the window, after mocking, he couldn't help but sighed softly, "The **** of the Holy Mother hurts people the most."
Although she has been sleeping for a thousand years, she can still feel Zhou Ji's various experiences in a trance. Even though she knows that everyone she meets later has never entered Zhou Ji's heart, but this feeling is because of 'compassion' or The behavior of adopting a daughter is "guilt", but it makes her proud and independent feel a little unhappy.
Back then, for the same reason, she was so proactive, but Zhou Ji still avoided; when she turned around, a few ordinary little girls climbed onto the bed.
Xizhu gritted her teeth lightly, Zhong Xiaoqin muttered the words "Holy Mother's Dregs" in her mouth, looked at Xizhu with a strange expression, and asked doubtfully, "You seem to have a problem with Mr. Zhou?"
Xizhu gave Zhong Xiaoqin a sideways look, turned his head and said nothing.
Nothing to say all night.
The next day, in the morning.
Zhong Xiaoqin took Xizhu to the company again, only to find that Zhong Xiaoyang's work place was empty, and after asking around, it seemed that no one had seen him.
A female colleague who was sitting in front of her couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “You are still young and bold! On the second day of work, if you say you are absent from work, you are absent from work, and you don’t even say hello.”
Zhong Xiaoqin thought to herself that Mr. Wang told her to take the newcomer yesterday, but the newcomer was late the next day, so she hurriedly called Zhong Xiaoyang, but the phone rang twice and hung up, but when she called again, she was directly blacklisted.
Xizhu hugged her shoulders, showing a hint of disdain in her eyes. Yesterday, she was generous and benevolent for small punishments and big punishments, but now it seems that the other party is also sensible.
From work in the morning to lunch break at noon, Zhong Xiaoyang didn't come over. The property manager called Zhong Xiaoqin to ask some questions. Only then did she learn that Zhong Xiaoyang had resigned from the company.
Other colleagues were not as surprised as Xiaoqin when they heard the news. Although it is difficult to find a job these days, it is common for new employees to resign on the day they join the job.
Zhong Xiaoqin thought it was her own fault, and she blamed herself the whole day. Seeing that she was a little depressed, Xizhu had nothing to do, so she had to sit by the side with a glass of juice and watch her eat her lunch bite by bite.
Perhaps it was because today's food was too greasy, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't have any appetite at all, and forced to eat a chopstick of fat meat, her stomach suddenly churned, and a feeling of nausea surged up.
Xizhu saw Zhong Xiaoqin's ugly face, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Just about to say something, she saw her wave one hand, then covered her mouth with the other hand, and hurried towards the bathroom.
Xizhu jumped off the swivel chair and followed quickly. As soon as he reached the sink, he saw Zhong Xiaoqin retching uncontrollably, and his face became paler.
After vomiting for a long time, she couldn't vomit anything. Zhong Xiaoqin vomited out a pile of acid water. Although her face was pale, her eyes became sour and red. bamboo.
"Xiao Xizhu, don't be afraid~ Sister Xiaoqin is fine, maybe she just ate something bad, she's fine already~"
The faucet swished away the surface of the pool, Zhong Xiaoqin forced a smile and raised her eyes to look at Xizhu, but on the glass mirror in front of her, there was a strange woman in a plain cheongsam, her appearance was cold and noble but revealing With a demure beauty, a touch of gorgeous red lips, a bit **** and charming in the cold.
His posture and appearance are like a picture scroll of Ming Dynasty.
'Am I dazzled? '
Because of the retching just now, Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes were filled with tears at the moment, she shook her head slightly, and turned her head to look behind her, but the strange woman had disappeared.
Suddenly dazzled, she hurriedly looked at Xizhu, but saw Xizhu staring at her belly with a strange expression, and said with a smile:
"Pregnant?" Zhong Xiaoqin was taken aback when she heard the words, and subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, showing a trace of bewilderment. When encountering such a thing, she couldn't care less about hallucinations or not. Her head buzzed and went blank, hesitating Said: "You mean it's morning sickness?"
"I've never been pregnant again, how would I know?" Xizhu gave Zhong Xiaoqin a white look, "Isn't the technology quite advanced now? Go to the hospital and you'll know."
"Hospital. Yes! Hospital" Zhong Xiaoqin, who had no opinions since she was a child, panicked now, and hurried to ask the manager for a half-day leave, and rushed to the hospital with Xizhu.
"Xiao Xizhu, tell me. If this is really pregnant, what should I do?" Zhong Xiaoqin said in a panic on the way to the hospital. "Chen Yu was on a business trip, and when I came back, I told him that I was pregnant, so he must tear me up?"
Xizhu's eyelids twitched when he was listening, he gave Zhong Xiaoqin a glance, and said angrily: "What's the matter? The child doesn't belong to him?"
"It's not tall!" Zhong Xiaoqin stared back at Xizhu, but said with a little dejection, "But he told me that if you don't want children for five years before marriage, there are still two years left."
"He said five years is five years? This is not the bank's death date, and you can't withdraw it in advance." Xizhu's head was full of black lines, "Don't care what he says, the key is what you think."
"I don't know." Zhong Xiaoqin leaned against Xizhu, and said aggrievedly, "How can I understand such a big thing? Little Xizhu, do you think I want it?"
"No, you asked me about this???" Xizhu jumped off the chair in the waiting area. The height of seven or eight years old seemed to be shorter than Zhong Xiaoqin who was sitting on the chair.
Hearing that Xiao Xizhu's tone was not kind, Zhong Xiaoqin smiled awkwardly, and said awkwardly, "It's really not appropriate~"
Looking down at the bag next to her, Zhong Xiaoqin took out her mobile phone, opened the address book, swiped across Chen Yu, and called Gu Jia.
beep~beep~~
Xizhu stood on tiptoe, pressed Zhong Xiaoqin's phone, and hung up.
"You don't want to call Gu Jia to ask whether you should give birth to this child?" Xizhu said with his forehead.
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded as a matter of course, "She is my best girlfriend, she knows a lot and has her own opinions. Of course I should ask her about such things?"
"Can't you make a decision yourself?" Xizhu said helplessly, "If she asks you to kill her, will you kill Chen Yu secretly?"
Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head quickly, almost falling off her head.
On the other side of the phone, Gu Jia is at Mrs. Wang's house on the top floor of Grand Hyatt Mansion. The 800-square-meter flat floor shows the extravagance of nouveau riche everywhere. Picking up the pastries she made herself, Gu Jia's desire grows with every step she takes. one cent.
She also wants to live in such a house, and she also wants to have such a life. At the same time, she also knows that the difficulty of class promotion is definitely not something that their small fireworks factory can do. The line of wives can touch the circle of these wives, and use their resources to improve their wealth little by little.
However, Gu Jia, who chose to become a housewife early on, ignored the most important point. She has no resources and only herself is worthless to the wife circle.
Entering the living room is like stepping into a palace. A young man who is a little familiar is sitting on the sofa, while Mrs. Wang is picking out a few pieces of emeralds on the table, obviously she can't put it down.
Especially the pieces of emerald green and transparent jadeite, even if Gu Jia hadn't touched these things much, she could tell that they were several circles larger than the bottom of the snowflake bottle.
"Mr. Zhou, I want all of these. If there are such treasures in the future, I will take them all." Mrs. Wang looked at the emperor green glass species in front of her with some admiration, and saw it coming in from the entrance corridor against the light. Gu Jia.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wang, I didn't know you still have guests at home." Gu Jia looked at Zhou Ji pretending to be surprised, and said in surprise, "It's you? Thank you so much at the restaurant last time."
"Are you introduced by the property management?" Mrs. Wang took away the glass seed and glanced at Gu Jia, showing a little interest. "You know each other?"
"Fate." Zhou Ji looked Gu Jia up and down, and said with a smile, "So you live here too?"
Gu Jia nodded in response. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was interested in herself, she quickly raised the delicate cake in her hand and said with a smile: "This is a little dessert for you. It is low-fat and low-sugar. You can try it, this one Benefactor, do you want to try it too?"
"Just helping out, don't need a benefactor. My name is Zhou Ji, and you can call me by my name." Zhou Ji could see that Gu Jia wanted to use himself to arouse Mrs. Wang's curiosity, so he couldn't help showing a playful smile. He doesn't like others to use him, but he appreciates people who are independent. After thinking about it, he sat down again and said with a smile, "Mrs. Wang, let's stop bothering you for a while."
I have to say that Gu Jia's craftsmanship is really good. Zhou Ji has eaten a lot of cakes over the years from not liking sweets to slowly liking desserts, and the piece brought by Gu Jia is really impressive. People have a bright feeling.
What is even more eye-catching is Gu Jia's attitude, she has enough respect for Mrs. Wang but is neither humble nor overbearing, a kind of self-confidence that these "wives" who were born dependent on their husbands have never had before. of.
From the conversation between the two, Zhou Ji learned that Gu Jia specially came to connect with Mrs. Wang in order to let her children enter the Depu Kindergarten opposite. Mrs. Wang's husband is the honorary school manager there, and she herself is also there. The president of the parents' committee, whether or not to accept Gu Jia's children is actually a matter of her words.
While talking, Mrs. Wang bought a huge oil painting from abroad and sent it up from downstairs. When the whole "Water Lily" came into view, Gu Jia was already stunned.
"Is this the real thing?"
"Nonsense, how much is the price of fakes?" Mrs. Wang gave Gu Jia a blank look.
Zhou Ji didn't have much interest in these Western artworks, but Mrs. Wang only thought that Zhou Ji was a jade dealer. Although he had some good materials in his hand, he didn't know how to appreciate the water lilies of 'Van Gogh'.
He casually agreed to Gu Jia's request, showed off his artistic taste to the two, and then sent her away.
Gu Jia came out of the house in a trance, and walked towards the elevator as if she had lost her soul. She was stopped by Zhou Ji just after walking a few steps.
Looking back in a daze, she realized that she was still wearing indoor slippers. Gu Jia hurried back to the shoe cabinet to change back her shoes, but Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Fake."
"What?" Gu Jia didn't react for a while.
"Fake." Zhou Ji shook his head, walked past her, and said quietly, "Although I don't understand Monet, I know how to fake. Don't be fooled by the glamorous appearance. The most difficult lie is often Hidden in all this splendor."
In comparison, he is more honest. At least the two pieces of imperial green jadeite sold to Mrs. Wang are real things collected from the world of fairy sword, not from Snow Brewery.
