1258 Agreed to Reconcile
âWhat?â The old lady was shocked. âSo expensive?â
She only knew that birdâs nest was a rare thing, but she did not expect it to be so expensive.
There were only a few boxes. At most, she could eat them ten times. It cost ten thousand yuan?
Xu Qianqian held the glass of milk and didnât know what to say. She didnât like to eat birdâs nest, but she had spent money to buy them.
When Wang Yunzhong bought it, he especially chose a better grade. It was much better than those birdâs nests worth eight hundred yuan on the market. This old lady gave it away without blinking!
The old lady was also dumbfounded. If she knew that this birdâs nest was so expensive, she would have thought twice before letting Xia eat a bowl, let alone giving them all to Li Xia.
âQianqian⊠Mom didnât know it was so expensive.â The old lady quickly apologized. âDonât be angry. Iâll get Xia to send them back later.â
âForget it!â Xu Qianqian waved her hand and said impatiently, âYouâve already given it away. What would it look like if I want it back? What would others think if they know I canât even bear to part with that bit of birdâs nest?â
Although she was unwilling, this was the matter. She had already let someone bring it home, so how could she get it back? It would be a joke. Even the old lady would suffer in the middle.
âThen⊠Mom will compensate you. Take it as a gift from me to Xia!â The old lady was afraid that Xu Qianqian would be angry, so she wanted to ask for her forgiveness.
However, how could Xu Qianqian let the old lady fork out this money? Seeing that she was nervous, Xu Qianqian couldnât help but soften her expression. âOh, Mom, what are you talking about? Would I let you fork out money for a few boxes of birdâs nest? Iâll give them to Sister-in-law. Anyway, sheâs not an outsider. I married over late and she was pregnant early. I didnât give her anything.â
Xu Qianqian also comforted herself in her heart. The food was a little expensive, but she did not like to eat it. It was not a crime for this old lady not to know. It was fine to give it to her.
When the old lady heard Xu Qianqianâs words, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly smiled and nodded. âAlright, our Qianqian is still the magnanimous one. Iâll share the price of this birdâs nest with Xia later and let her remember you!â
âNo need, Mom. Youâll make me look like Iâm looking down on her,â Xu Qianqian said.
âWhat do you want to eat tonight? The nanny isnât at home today. Mom will cook for you!â the old lady asked.
Xu Qianqian thought for a moment. During her pregnancy, her appetite had never been good. Occasionally, she would have something she wanted to eat, but she often didnât want to eat it when it was ready. The doctor also said that some pregnant women were like this. They would only have a short attention span for any food.
After a while, Xu Qianqian said, âI want to eat egg soup.â
âEgg soup?â The old lady stood up. âAlright, Mom will steam it for you. Drink the milk and lie down again. Iâll call you for dinner later.â
During Xu Qianqianâs pregnancy, she was much more comfortable than Li Xia. They hired a nanny, and the two elders took care of her, making Xu Qianqian even more delicate!
However, while Xu Qianqian enjoyed it, she was also a little afraid. If she could not give birth to a son this time, she would have to get pregnant again.
There was no need for the Wang family to rush her. She knew in her heart that if she wanted to stabilize her position as the mistress of the Wang family, she had to give birth to a son.
The old lady came out of the master bedroom, and her fake smile froze on her face. When the air in her chest relaxed, she couldnât help but mutter softly, âThis Yunzhong bought such an expensive birdâs nest. Even if heâs rich, he shouldnât spend it like this!â
She was just muttering these words to herself. How would she dare to say them in front of Xu Qianqian?
When Wang Yunzhong returned from work, the sky was already getting dark. When he got out of the car, he saw the old man still sitting on the stone bench with cigarette butts all over the ground.
âDad, itâs such a cold day. Why are you sitting here?â Wang Yunzhong couldnât help but walk forward. He noticed the old man was smoking a lot and couldnât help but whisper, âLook at you. Donât you want your body after smoking so much?â
The old man slowly stood up but said nothing to Wang Yunzhong. Instead, he said, âXia came over today in the afternoon. She sat for a while before leaving.â
âFor Yunfa?â Wang Yunzhong asked.
The old man nodded. âThatâs right. Iâm still thinking about it.â
Hearing this, Wang Yunzhong couldnât help but sigh deeply. It had been a few days, but there was no movement from the hospital or the police station. It was indeed nerve-wracking.
Wang Yunzhong saw that the old man had lost a lot of weight. He knew his father better. Although the old man didnât say some things, it was easy for him to be anxious and angry if he kept them in his heart.
In the end, his heart ached for his father. After thinking for a moment, Wang Yunzhong couldnât help but say, âHow about this, Dad? Iâll go to the hospital tomorrow morning. If Wang Dapeng is awake, Iâll talk to him.â
âAre you going alone?â the old man asked.
Wang Yunzhong nodded. âAh, Iâll go myself. Wait for my news at home.â
The old man was worried, mainly because he wanted to know the situation immediately. He couldnât help but quickly say, âWhy donât Dad go with you?â
âNo need. Iâll go by myself!â Wang Yunzhong said slowly, âIn the beginning, I thought it would be easier to handle things with more people. I even asked Li Xia to go when she was pregnant. In the end, nothing happened.â
âThat woman doesnât look like a reasonable person. With more of us, sheâs even more resistant.â
The old man slowly nodded. âAlright, you go.â
Unexpectedly, as the two of them were discussing, Wang Yunzhongâs phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He was stunned for a moment before picking it up. âHello!â
âMr. Wang? Iâm Xiao Wang from the police station.â
It was Officer Wang. When Wang Yunzhong heard this, he quickly said, âHello, Officer Wang. Iâm Wang Yunzhong.â
Officer Wang said, âItâs like this, Mr. Wang. Our police station has already done the other partyâs job. They agreed to reconcile, but theyâll discuss the details when we meet.â
âReally?â Wang Yunzhong was delighted. âNo problem, Officer Wang. When is this happening?â
Officer Wang said, âHow about nine in the morning tomorrow? Letâs reconcile early and understand this matter. Iâll be present by then as a witness.â
âAlright, no problem.â
Officer Wang didnât forget to remind him, âBut we donât know what kind of compensation the other party will propose, so before we meet tomorrow, you better think of a logical price you can accept. This is more beneficial to the negotiation.â
Wang Yunzhong quickly agreed. âAlright, weâll discuss it tonight. Sorry to trouble you, Officer Wang.â
After hanging up, the old man looked at Wang Yunzhong in a daze and said, âThe police station called? What did they say?â
Joy appeared on Wang Yunzhongâs face as well. When he heard this, he said, âItâs a call from the police station. They said the other party has agreed to reconcile and wants us to talk to them at nine in the morning!â
