Chapter 260: Photography

Chapter 260

The next day, the pregnant woman from next door came over with her baby to express her gratitude.

"I'm truly grateful to your husband. If it weren't for your family's bodyguard discovering it, my child would have been switched," the woman said, holding her baby tightly as she bowed to Chu Yang.

She had given birth not long ago and seemed to have suffered during childbirth, so her complexion wasn't very good. However, when she looked at her child, her gaze was very gentle. A mother's strength was evident as she had directly slapped those two people until their faces were swollen the night before. Chi Rou hadn't expected that helping someone would lead to such ingratitude!

Chu Yang invited her to sit down. After the incident was resolved last night, Chi Yan had already told her about it. Originally, it was the pregnant woman's relatives who wanted to switch their own child with hers. They were simply jealous that the pregnant woman's child would be born into privilege, while their own child had nothing.

"As a mother myself, such people are truly despicable. Fortunately, they didn't succeed," Chu Yang said.

Chi Rou smiled at Chu Yang, then looked at her own child. "Yes, fortunately. Actually, even if they had switched them, I would have known. How could I not recognize my own child? I've memorized every detail of his appearance these past few days."

Chu Yang also looked at Jiu Jiu, "Indeed."

Jiu Jiu opened her round, big eyes and kept staring at Chu Yang. When Chu Yang reached out her hand, Jiu Jiu tightly grasped her finger.

Chi Rou looked at the little bundle next to Chu Yang, "Is this your son or daughter?"

Chu Yang: "It's a girl. Our Jiu Jiu is a girl. Isn't that right?"

Jiu Jiu: "Meh, bobobo"

Chi Rou glanced at her, "She looks a lot like you, very pretty."

Chu Yang looked at the baby in her arms, "Your son's nose looks like yours."

Chi Rou smiled, "Yes, just the nose is like mine, everything else is like his father."

The two chatted for a while, then Chi Yan came over. Chi Rou glanced at Chi Yan, thanked him again, and then left without further disturbing them.

Chi Yan sat down next to Chu Yang, "After last night's incident, I think we should arrange some bodyguards for Jiu Jiu in the future. I've had a bracelet custom-made for her with a tracking device inside." It's better to be safe than sorry.

Chu Yang had no objections, "Alright."

Everything was peaceful after that. After a month of postpartum confinement, although people came to keep her company every day, Chu Yang still felt it was more than enough.

On the second day after her confinement ended, the Chi Family held Jiu Jiu's full-month celebration.

They invited some good friends and business partners with whom they had good relationships.

Chu Yang held Jiu Jiu while standing among the crowd. People came over one by one, first presenting gifts, then coming to see the baby.

"Oh my, she's so adorable."

"Her little chubby face shows she's blessed with good fortune."

"What's her name?"

Chu Yang: "Her formal name is Chi Jiaran, and her nickname is Jiu Jiu. The name was chosen by her great-grandfather earlier."

"What a beautiful name. She looks just like you, Mrs. Chi. She'll surely grow up to be a great beauty like you."

"Thank you for your kind words."

After the party ended, Chu Yang looked at the room full of gifts, "Let's keep all these gifts safe for Jiu Jiu."

Chi Yan hugged her, "Mm, I've already had a room prepared specifically for storing her gifts."

"Mm."

After Chu Yang's confinement ended, Chu's Mom went back home, and as for Chu's Dad, he had already returned earlier as the crops at home couldn't be left unattended.

With a nanny and Zhao Yun taking care of the child at home, Chu Yang went back to school. She still had her studies to complete, and because of giving birth, she had fallen behind a bit, so Chu Yang became busy catching up.

Sometimes Wen Yi would bring the nanny and the child to the school for her to see, and if the baby cried too much, they would come directly. However, Jiu Jiu generally didn't cry too much; she was a well-behaved child.

One day, as soon as Chu Yang returned home, she asked, "Where's Jiu Jiu? How was she today? Did she cry?"

Butler Uncle smiled and said, "The young miss is in her room. Young Master Chu Luo has come to visit."

"Chu Luo is here? I'll go take a look." Saying this, Chu Yang went upstairs to the room. As soon as she entered, she saw Chu Luo holding toys and playing with Jiu Jiu, "Jiu Jiu, I'm your uncle, you're Jiu Jiu, I'm uncle, you know? Jiu Jiu, uncle, Jiu Jiu, uncle!"

Chu Yang: ...

Hearing the sound, Chu Luo turned his head to look. Seeing it was Chu Yang, he put down the toy in his hand, "Sis."

Chu Yang walked over, "Mm. Why did you come?"

Chu Luo: "I'm on break and came to see Jiu Jiu. I bought her some small toys."

Chu Yang nodded, "Mm. Stay for dinner later."

"Mm."

Soon after, Chi Yan also returned home. As soon as he got home, he first gave Chu Yang a hug, then kissed her cheek, and then picked up Jiu Jiu, "Did you miss daddy? Mwah! My Jiu Jiu is so well-behaved."

Chi Yan held the baby very skillfully, even taking toys to amuse her.

...

Finally, on the weekend when they had some free time, Chu Yang sat in the courtyard holding Jiu Jiu. Today they had arranged for a photographer to take family photos, and even Chi Jin had come. Everyone wanted to take photos with Jiu Jiu.

First were photos of the family of three: Chu Yang, Chi Yan, and Jiu Jiu. Chu Yang wore a custom-made white cheongsam, Chi Yan wore a Zhongshan suit, and Jiu Jiu was dressed adorably, held by Chi Yan.

With a "click," the photo of the family of three was taken.

Then Zhao Yun and Chi Feng came over to take a photo of the family of five, and then everyone came over to take a group photo, including Butler Uncle and Wen Yi.

After that, they took various combinations of photos.

Chi Xin quickly scooped up Jiu Jiu, "Come here, let me take a photo with Jiu Jiu first. Jiu Jiu, let's take a photo with Great-uncle!"

Chi Xin held Jiu Jiu, standing under a tree, grinning so wide his gums showed.

Jiu Jiu's round eyes stared straight ahead, her hands obediently placed on her chest.

Chi Xin held her and took several photos before Chi Feng took her back, "It's Grandpa's turn now. Jiu Jiu, let's take a photo with Grandpa, okay? Jiu Jiu, give us a smile."

Everyone in the courtyard was happily taking photos, passing Jiu Jiu around, but she remained well-behaved throughout, her eyes sometimes wandering, seemingly curious about everything.

Suddenly, a flock of crows appeared in the distance, cawing as they landed on the surrounding wall. One of them cawed twice at Chu Yang.

When Jiu Jiu saw the crows, she seemed very excited, her eyes fixed on them, her mouth babbling, "Ababa ababa, bobobo..."

If this were any other family, they would have chased away the flock of crows long ago, but everyone remained calm. Chu Yang held Jiu Jiu and stood at the base of the wall, with the flock of crows behind them, and instructed the photographer to take a picture.

With a "click," the moment was captured. In the photo, Chu Yang held Jiu Jiu, with a flock of crows standing behind them. It wasn't scary at all; the crows in the background looked like a group of warriors, each crow striking a different pose, as if protecting these two females.

After the photo was taken, not long after, the crows cawed twice more, "Caw caw," and then flew away.

Once the photo shoot was over, Chi Yan and Chu Yang selected several photos to frame and hang in their room.
