Chapter 917: Overthinking Is Bad for Your Baby

He Jinxuan didn’t linger much longer; he took the gift that Xinyan had brought back and was ready to leave.

At the doorway, he said to Xinyan, "Tomorrow, I’ll go to the post office with you to pick up the package."

Xinyan nodded at him, "Alright, meet me at the shop tomorrow."

After sending off He Jinxuan, she saw her father standing under the eaves: "Dad, why are you out here?"

Han Jingchen replied, "Close the main door, I have something to say."

Xinyan turned around to close the main door and followed Han Jingchen into the house.

Gu Wanqing was already waiting there.

Xinyan understood that this must be something important her parents needed to discuss.

The three of them went into the study one after another, Han Jingchen closed the door, and looked at Gu Wanqing seriously, "My friend has already contacted your father."

Gu Wanqing’s grip on the back of the chair tightened involuntarily, and she said with some excitement, "Did they mention when they’ll return?"

To avoid those families’ attention and unnecessary trouble, Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing agreed not to contact the Gu Family directly for the time being.

They’re just waiting for everything to settle to avoid alerting anyone and causing resistance to their return.

Han Jingchen patted Gu Wanqing’s hand, "Don’t worry, they’ve communicated well, my friend will stay there for another half month. During this time, the elderly couple can handle things over there, and they should be able to enter the country by the end of this month."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wanqing felt unsettled; she was happy but also worried about her parents: "Jingchen, should we send someone to the border to assist them?"

Xinyan had the same concern, so she kept looking at her father.

Only to hear Han Jingchen say, "You don’t need to worry, in a few days Zhang Yueshan will go over there to wait. He’ll meet them, stay for a few days, get acquainted, and then bring them back to East Province."

Hearing her father’s words, Xinyan had a hunch, probably they’re planning to live near the border for a while. Besides getting acquainted, it’s to leave traces of life, which makes it easier for anyone interested to verify.

What they didn’t know was that this arrangement was because Zhang Yueshan had indeed lived there before and was very familiar with the place.

Even if those families wanted to investigate in the future, with some help, they wouldn’t find any loopholes.

Xinyan spoke up: "I initially wanted to visit Granny Zhang during the summer, but things got too busy, and I couldn’t find the time. This way is better, with the National Day holiday, I can go there directly, and those families won’t suspect anything."

Gu Wanqing understood her daughter’s meaning and nodded, "Your grandparents have always been thinking about you. This is good."

But considering their family’s current actions, those families might have already sent people to watch them secretly.

Xinyan knew her concerns, "Mom, don’t worry, I won’t take the train, I’ll drive there directly."

Gu Wanqing then remembered that her daughter had a license, but she was still a bit worried, "You just got your license recently, I’m not comfortable with you driving to East Province alone. It’s quite far, after all."

Xinyan had to reassure her, "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Jinxuan ahead of time, and he’ll adjust his shifts. You should be at ease now."

Gu Wanqing said with some melancholy, "If those families really sent people to watch us secretly, even if you drive there, they might find out. If they discover it, wouldn’t that implicate the Zhang Family too?"

Xinyan crouched down next to Gu Wanqing, "Mom, don’t worry, I have my ways. They won’t find out. You’re pregnant now, so you shouldn’t always worry about these things, it can affect your mood.

Thinking too much isn’t good for the baby inside you."

Gu Wanqing understood this reasoning and nodded gently, "I know, I’ll try to control myself not to overthink."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xinyan caught a ride to the shops.

Apart from the two shops she specifically left, all the other shops had already begun operations one after another.

When Xinyan arrived, she went straight to those two shops, seeing that the basic renovations were complete, just waiting for the shelves to be delivered and the goods to be stocked, then they could open.

However, today she had another important task to accomplish, which was to go to the ceramics factory to order a batch of porcelain jars for packaging high-end tea.
