Chapter 678: A Different Gift

She could almost guess that Qin Shu was pregnant.

She was actually pregnant?

Looking at Old Madam’s expression, she was very happy that Qin Shu was pregnant.

Why was Qin Shu pregnant at this time?

Although Xu Wei thought that Qin Shu was pregnant in her heart, she still didn’t give up and asked, “Grandma, what are you so happy about?”

Only then did Old Madam realize that Xu Wei was sitting at the side, and her face was full of joy. “Qin Shu is pregnant, and I’m going to be a great-grandmother. Ah, I was so happy just now that I didn’t know what to say.”

After the Old Madam spoke, she still could not suppress her happiness.

It was said that people were in high spirits when it came to happy events. Old Madam who was listless just a moment ago was now in high spirits again.

After hearing the confirmation from the old madam herself, Xu Wei’s hands on her legs could not help but tighten the hem of her skirt. How did Qin Shu have such good luck?

She had just mentioned this to the Old Madam yesterday. Today, Fu Tingyu called and said that Qin Shu was pregnant?

They had been together for three years and there was no reaction. Suddenly, there was a baby?

Xu Wei seemed to have remembered something and pretended to be puzzled. “Grandma, Qin Shu has been studying in the capital. Tingyu and he haven’t seen each other for half a year. How did it happen all of a sudden? Don’t you think it’s too strange?”

The smile on the Old Madam’s face froze. She turned her head to look at Xu Wei and the smile on her face receded a little. “What do you mean by that?”

“Grandma, Qin Shu is studying in the capital University while Tingyu is busy in Jiang City. Even if he goes to the capital, it doesn’t seem to match up at this time.”

Xu Wei didn’t notice anything wrong with the Old Madam’s expression and continued to mislead her.

In her heart, she already felt that Qin Shu did not like Fu Tingyu from the start. Now that she was suddenly pregnant, there must be something behind the scenes.

“When did Xiao Yu go to the capital? When did he not go? Whether the time matches or not, he knows in his heart. Of course, we outsiders don’t know, so we can’t jump to conclusions.” The Old Madam’s voice was clearly a little displeased.

It was mainly because of her past record.

When her daughter-in-law was pregnant, someone had provoked her in front of her, making her think that the child was not her son’s.

It was not the first time she had slandered her daughter-in-law and grandson.

When the truth was revealed and the grandson was born, her son was so angry that he did not even let her see him.

It took her a long time to resolve the estrangement between her son and daughter-in-law.

So, this time, she felt that Xiao Yu must know best whether it was true or not.

Since he was so sure, then it must be true.

Xu Wei then realized that Old Madam seemed to be unhappy. She did not know why Old Madam was so sure all of a sudden?

Logically speaking, after hearing what she said, she would definitely think this way.

But now, Xu Wei did not care about anything else and said, “Grandma is right. Since Tingyu thinks so, it must be true. I’ve heard too many examples like this, so I thought so. How Could Qin Shu be like those people?”

On the surface, it seemed like she was admitting her mistake, but in fact, she was reminding Old Madam that Qin Shu was different from those people. She had a criminal record.

Old Madam glanced at Xu Wei and thought of Qin Shu. She couldn’t help but remain silent in the past.

Qi Hua

During the time she stayed in Qi Hua, Lan Zhicao didn’t find anything. New Year’s Eve was just around the corner.

Fu Tingyu was preparing to return to Jiang City.

Qin Shu hesitated for a while after hearing about it because she thought of Han Xiao’s leg.

She raised her head and looked at the man. “Before I leave, I want to see Han Xiao.”

The man pursed his lips and stared at the girl for a while before nodding. “I’ll go with you.”

Qin Shu smiled. “Okay.”

Hanzhuang

Ever since Gu Yan reminded Han Xiao that even if she couldn’t stand up for the time being, she had to exercise her muscles regularly.

Therefore, Han Xiao had been massaging herself for the past few days. She had even been training with her hands on the parallel bars.

At this moment, Han Xiao was holding the parallel bars with both hands. Her legs were straight as she sat up and down.

As she had used up a lot of her energy, her forehead was full of sweat. Even the back of her hands that were holding the parallel bars were covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

When Qin Shu arrived, she saw this scene and felt a little worried.

Hua Wuyan was accompanying her. When he saw Qin Shu, he looked at Han Xiao and said, “Qin Shu is here.”

When Han Xiao heard this, she turned around and saw Qin Shu standing not far behind her, looking at him.

She glanced at Fu Tingyu, who was behind her, and then withdrew her gaze.

Hua Wuyan pushed the wheelchair over with tacit understanding, and just happened to push it to the position behind Han Xiao. He changed his posture and sat in the wheelchair accurately, and Hua Wuyan pushed it in front of Qin Shu.

When Han Xiao came over, Qin Shu said, “Han Xiao, we’re going back to Jiang City Tomorrow.”

The expected departure still came.

He was still reluctant.

“Yes. Because of me, I’ve caused you a lot of trouble.”

Qin Shu opened his mouth to say that it was because of her that caused him to be like this, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, they became, “You should rest and recuperate first. Gu Yan and we will find Lan Zhicao.”

Han Xiao wanted to say that there was no need to put in so much effort, but in the end, she just nodded. “Okay.”

Before she left, Han Xiao gave her an exquisite wooden box. It was light brown in color and had an ancient flavor. One look and one could tell that this wooden box was quite old.

“This is for you.” It was a very simple sentence, but there was reluctance in it.

“Thank you.” Qin Shu reached out to take the box.

As for what was inside, she didn’t open it in person.

When Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu left side by side, Hua Wuyan pushed Han Xiao to the door until they left.

Hua Wuyan said leisurely, “I don’t know when we’ll meet again.”

Han Xiao stared at the car that was already far away.

“I don’t know when she’ll remember what happened on the mountain,” Hua Wuyan said again.

Han Xiao’s expression froze, and her thin lips pursed tightly.

..

It was already two days in the afternoon when Qin Shu, Fu Tingyu, and the others returned to Jiang City.

The temperature in Jiang City and Qi Hua was the same as one winter and one spring.

As soon as they returned to Sheng Yuan garden, Ning Meng was the first to welcome them.

“Young Madam, you’re finally back.” If not for the master and servant, and the fact that she was being held by Fourth Master’s hand, Ning Meng would have hugged Qin Shu directly.

“Don’t be noisy, she needs to rest.”

Fu Tingyu said coldly, then led the girl into the bedroom in the garden to rest.

Ning Meng had always been afraid of Fourth Master, so she didn’t feel anything. Instead, she prepared food for Qin Shu.

In the bedroom

The man waited for the girl to lie down on the bed. After covering her with the blanket, he instructed, “You sleep for a while. I’m going to the office.”

Qin Shu could not help but laugh. “Go ahead. Don’t worry about me. I’m not a child anymore.”

Seeing that the man still wanted to say something, Qin Shu said, “I won’t starve myself. When I wake up, I’ll go have afternoon tea.”

When the man heard that, he stared at the girl for a while before standing up and walking out.

After the man left, Qin Shu laid on the bed for a while. She was not sleepy because she had already slept for several hours on the plane.

Thinking of the gift from Han Xiao, she hadn’t opened it yet, so she simply sat up, put on her slippers, and went to take out the wooden box from her luggage.
