Chapter 1534 Decide to Keep the Child
No, this could not be allowed to happen! He must get hold of Qiao Mei as soon as possible and make her work as his chef. He could no longer stand the food made by the helper at home.
He must get this matter done no longer how difficult it was.
Xia Fang had no intention of hiding the news at all. She even wanted to announce to the world that the Xia family was going to have a new member! There was no need to hide such a joyous matter from everyone. Anyone could find out about Qiao Mei's pregnancy by simply asking around.
Many people came to congratulate Xia Fang. Those who did not know better would think that it was her daughter-in-law or daughter who was pregnant!
The current Xia family was different. After the family split up, they were doing even better than before. The departure of the third son's family allowed everyone to see clearly who was the one holding the family back. Now that the weakest link was removed, the Xia family had become much stronger.
Xia Fang's son was a young adult and was her only child. He was doing quite well and it was very likely that he would also end up in the army. All her colleagues harbored the wish of marrying their daughters to Xiang Chen so that they could be related to the Xia family. Xia Fang only smiled and did not say anything. She kept an open mind when it came to her son's issues.
"Little Uncle! What should we do!" He Mei covered her face and turned towards He Ning anxiously.
She felt that Qiao Mei was such a hindrance. She was pregnant with Xia Zhe's child, but Qiao Mei was also pregnant at the same time! How could it be so coincidental!
What if Xia Zhe refused to bear responsibility for her baby or if someone discovered that she was pregnant? It would be scandalous if word got out that she was pregnant out of wedlock! She would be scolded and mocked by everyone!
He Ning was also trying to think of a solution. At this point, he could only bite the bullet and let He Mei give birth. He Mei had gotten pregnant earlier than Qiao Mei. When the time came, if He Mei gave birth first, it would not be a bad idea to send her and the baby over to make trouble for Xia Zhe.
"Stay at home for the time being and don't go anywhere. You're not allowed to meet anyone without my instructions," He Ning said sternly.
"But… but I still don't look pregnant now. It shouldn't be a problem for me to go out," He Mei said self-consciously.
She was only about two months pregnant and there was no obvious bulge in her belly yet. No one would be suspicious. If she had to stay in the house for 10 months, she would be bored out of her mind.
He Ning looked at her without saying anything. He Mei understood what he meant and lowered her head in silence. She had no right to ask for anything.
He Ning cleared out the small house next to his house in the suburbs for He Mei to live in. He did not want to see her all the time. He Mei did not even dare to breathe loudly and followed behind He Ning cautiously.
He Guo was still in prison and no one knew how he was doing. He Mei also did not know when he would be able to be released. He Wei hated He Guo to the core and did not care about him at all. For He Wei, He Guo's return would only endanger his current status in the He family. He would rather He Guo be locked up forever!
The only person whom He Mei could count on was He Ning. She believed that He Ning would not do anything to her and that he would help her fulfill her wish.
Although the house was not big, it was well-equipped. There was special attention paid to the bed. He Ning had asked his staff to buy a new mattress as he was concerned that He Mei would find a hard mattress uncomfortable since she was pregnant.
"Thank you, Little Uncle…" He Mei said softly.
"You can go in now. There's going to be a helper whose only job is to wait on you. Don't come out unnecessarily. If you need anything, just tell the helper. The helper knows what to do." He Ning left after saying that.
He had more important things to do. After about two to three hours, Jia Zhong walked up to He Ning with a pile of documents in his hand. It was a report of everything that Qiao Mei had done today. It was so detailed to the point that even what she ate was recorded down.
"Good job," He Ning said with a nod of satisfaction.
"Boss, you flatter me," Jia Zhong said.
"Go and protect He Mei during this period of time. This is a critical period and nothing can happen to her," He Ning said.
"Noted," Jia Zhong said.
Other than reporting his work, Jia Zhong did not say much. Compared to Huo Gao, he was like a cold-faced statue. Huo Gao was already standing at the side with a look of disdain and thinking that He Ning was insane. He even wanted to know what that person ate at home. If he was not a pervert, then what was he?
