Chapter 634: Chapter 632: The Many Facets of Life

"Yes, I see sunlight everywhere, happiness floating above the city..."

Lin Wanwan was engrossed in her book when her phone started ringing.

She took it out and saw that the call was from Lu Shouyue’s mom.

She moved to a quieter spot by the window and answered the call.

"Hello, auntie, what’s up?"

"Wanwan, I’m coming to Yongcheng tomorrow afternoon. Do you have time to go shopping with me? I want to buy some clothes for the new season and could use advice from a pretty young lady like you. Tomorrow’s the weekend, you should be off work, right?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment; if everything went smoothly, Gu Jingyu should give birth tonight, so she wouldn’t need to stay at the hospital. Going shopping wouldn’t be a problem.

Perfect chance to give Lu’s mom the gift from the Great Tang Imperial Goldsmith, and repay for the handbag from last time.

She later checked online about that bag; it was a new Hermes model, costing several hundred thousand.

"Sounds good, auntie, unless something unexpected happens, it should be fine."

"Great, Wanwan, let’s make it a date then."

Gu Jingyu’s delivery went smoothly, and by two in the afternoon, the double doors to the delivery room were opened again. The midwife came out and announced the news that Gu Jingyu had given birth to a son.

Upon hearing this, Liang’s mother sighed heavily, "Oh dear, it’s a grandson. Now it’s like I’ve opened a Construction Bank, can’t shop freely anymore."

She turned her head and saw her son still busy playing games and her anger flared up.

This son, graduated three years ago, still doesn’t earn more than five thousand. He’s such a worry! Married with a child and still so carefree, playing games all the time, since childhood!

The house they live in requires them, the old couple, to help pay half of the mortgage each month. Now hearing he has a son, he’s still so indifferent.

No matter what, having a son means you have to buy a house for him!

Now the house prices in Yongcheng are getting ridiculous, you can’t get a house without several million. How can he, earning five thousand a month, be so careless?

I’ve told him before to marry the Zhang family’s daughter, but he refused. Ever since school, the Zhang family’s daughter chased him everywhere, but he ignored her, choosing the poor country girl Gu Jingyu instead, no sense at all!

The Zhang family has just one daughter, with four apartments after demolition! What does Gu Jingyu’s family have? Just a worthless little farm house!

Thinking about the future of her grandson, Liang’s mother felt troubled and unleashed a tirade at Liang Xingchi.

Liang Xingchi himself seemed indifferent, but Lin Wanwan, on the side, was truly amazed.

If it weren’t for Gu Jingyu still not completely out of danger and needing two more hours of observation before leaving the delivery room, Lin Wanwan would have left already.

Being with Liang’s mother was truly embarrassing; she was loud and unashamed, acting like nobody else was around, which Lin Wanwan found impressive.

However, Lin Wanwan was surprised that Liang’s mother didn’t seem too excited that Gu Jingyu had a son.

Maybe it’s because she’s witnessed several deliveries in the Great Tang, where everyone showed special preference for boys. Coming back to modern times to see a grandma not focused on gender, she wasn’t quite used to it.

She wasn’t sure about elsewhere, but in Yongcheng, there’s certainly no longer any preference for boys over girls. Some more laid-back families even prefer daughters, as raising them is less stressful, without the pressure of earning money to buy a house.

Of course, the thinking of wealthy families is another matter, Lin Wanwan had overheard occasionally.

Time passed quickly, two hours felt like the blink of an eye, and the corridor doors opened, with Gu Jingyu and the baby being wheeled out simultaneously.

Liang Xingchi finally put away his phone, promptly rushing to Gu Jingyu’s bedside, holding her hand warmly and asking about her well-being, looking deeply moved.

Ha! What a flashy man! He’s truly practiced at playing the role of the deeply affectionate! No wonder he has Gu Jingyu firmly under control.

The baby accompanied by Liang’s mother went to get vaccinated, while Lin Wanwan waited for Gu Jingyu to be settled into a double room before briefly expressing her concern.

"Wanwan, thank you. Have you been waiting long?"

"Not too bad, how are you feeling, does it hurt?"

"Before four centimeters, it was indeed very painful, it lasted all night yesterday. But after the epidural, it wasn’t so bad, barely felt much pain, and when the baby came, the pain was brief and not severe, and over quickly."

"That’s good, congrats on becoming a mom!"

"Haha, thanks! You should hurry up and find someone to settle down with, I beat you by quite a bit, our kids will have a big age gap in the future."

The two laughed and talked for a while, and as Lin Wanwan watched the nanny busily tending to Gu Jingyu, felt her presence wasn’t needed, she excused herself to leave.

Lin Wanwan had been away from home for quite a while, leaving her cousin Su Yanwei to help walk the dog every day. When she returned in the morning, the dog was really excited.

She sped home, under the lengthening May sun, and reached home with the sunset still hanging in the sky.

Opening the gate, her German Shepherd, Wealth, charged at her, barking and wagging its tail in excitement.

"Hey, Wealth, you still remember me!"

"Woof woof!"

Wealth fetched its leash from its dog villa, placing it in Lin Wanwan’s hand, making its intentions crystal clear.

"Alright, I’ll take you for a walk today."

Lin Wanwan promptly obliged Wealth’s wish, putting on the leash and strolled around the neighborhood.

Meeting several familiar neighbors along the way, exchanging greetings.

Halfway through the walk, she received a call from Lu Shouyue, asking about her situation.

Upon learning that Lin Wanwan’s friend had given birth and she had returned home, he invited her to dine at Jie Yuting’s restaurant.

Lin Wanwan was planning to ask Lu Shouyue about his mom, so she happily agreed.

Only Wealth was unhappy, as it hadn’t played enough yet!

Jie Yuting’s attitude remained cold as always, but his dishes were consistently delicious.

When Lu Shouyue heard Lin Wanwan was going shopping with his mom tomorrow, he showed a reluctant expression, saying, "Remember to wear flat shoes; it’s not an easy task."

Lin Wanwan was amused, "I usually wear flats anyway. But are guys really so scared of shopping?"

Lu Shouyue laughed, "Not necessarily, it depends with whom, do you need me to carry bags for both ladies tomorrow?"

"You’re not busy?" Lin Wanwan asked casually, "You’d have to ask your mom if she’ll need someone to carry bags, but I certainly don’t, haha."

Lu Shouyue shrugged, "Forget it, there’s an auction tomorrow, I need to be there."

"Okay."

After dining, Lu Shouyue asked Lin Wanwan, "Wanwan, want to catch a movie together?"

Lin Wanwan declined, "Maybe not. Need to conserve energy for shopping tomorrow! Let’s watch another day, are there any good movies out now?"

"There’s an intriguing suspense comedy produced by old Chen, seems good."

"Oh, let’s talk about it when there’s time, night, Lu sir, I’m heading home."

"Sure, good night."

They said they’d head home separately, but Lu Shouyue still discreetly instructed the bodyguard to follow her car, ensuring she safely entered her community before leaving.
