Chapter 106 Plan of Having a Baby
Ling Tianyi took the paper and looked at the instructions of the fortune teller. He thought it was ridiculous. He never believed in superstitions, but his smart and capable father who founded Huasheng Group believed in it.
“Dad, these fortune-tellers just want to cheat your money. You can’t believe them.” Ling Tianyi threw the paper on the table. Such a piece of paper could not shake his love to Xia Xiaoluo.
“You may not believe the fortune-teller, but Xia Xiaoluo can not be the daughter-in-law of the Ling Family. Now the public do not know your marriage, you must divorce with her immediately.” Ling Desheng’s tone seemed that there was no room for discussion. He ordered his stubborn son with dignity.
“Dad, does Xiaoluo offend you? Why do you want me to divorce with her? You forced me to get married. Well, I obeyed your orders. I married Xiaoluo. Are you forcing me to divorce now? Do you think your son’s marriage is a game, and you can play the game as you like?” Ling Tianyi did not listen to his father. He made Ling Desheng speechless with only a few words.
Ling Desheng was still angry. Ling Tianyi said continuously, “I will not divorce with Xiaoluo. It’s 21st century now. Marriage is free and equal. Parents can’t arrange their son’s marriage like what they did in feudal society. Dad, you should follow the trend of history, not making yourself look like an antique.”
“You…” Ling Desheng pointed at the nose of Ling Tianyi, “You are unfilial.”
“Dad, if you force me to divorce, then I can only be an unfilial son.” Ling Tianyi’s words were peaceful and clear. But his tone was the same as his father’s, which couldn’t be questioned by anyone.
“I investigated Xia Xiaoluo thoroughly. Besides her poor study, she caused a lot of troubles all the time. Such as the photos on Internet. No matter it is true or false, once someone exposes that she is your wife, it will influence the Ling Family and Huasheng Group. In Dwichen’s College, she attracted the young followers all day. A couple of boys were pursuing her. These are bad for our reputation!”
“Daughter-in-law of the Ling Family should be gentle and virtuous, being able to assist her husband and educate the children. Xia Youfeng is enough to me. Besides, she is not good at doing anything. She is not qualified to be my daughter-in-law at all.”
“I order you to end the marriage within one month.”
Ling Desheng said a lot in one breath, intending to separate Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo.
Ling Tianyi was dissatisfied about it. He went to Ling Desheng and said, “Dad, you investigated Xiaoluo in secret.”
“Yes, because I don’t trust you.” In fact, Ling Desheng investigated Xia Xiaoluo because he cared about his son. But he said that he did not trust Ling Tianyi.
“Unfortunately, you didn’t investigate thoroughly. Or you’ll know what you investigated is fake. Xiaoluo is the victim, she is not a bad girl, she is kind-hearted.” When Ling Tianyi mentioned Xia Xiaoluo, his eyes became bright. He didn’t know why. In front of Xia Xiaoluo, he always said that she was stupid. But when his father doubted Xia Xiaoluo, he did not hesitate to stand on Xia Xiaoluo’s side.
“Kind-hearted? The victim? There’s no smoke without fire. There are so many students in Dwichen’s College. Why only Xia Xiaoluo was framed? It proves that even if she doesn’t stir up troubles, she is too stupid.” Ling Desheng said. He believed that if a person was smart and elegant, she would not be easy to be framed.
“Maybe this is the loveliness of Xiaoluo!” Ling Tianyi thought of his little wife’s stupid look, he smiled slightly, as if he forgot that he was arguing with his father.
“I think you are stubborn.” Ling Desheng slapped the table angrily.
“I like Xiaoluo, and mom likes Xiaoluo, too. I think my sister also likes Xiaoluo when she returns. Everyone likes Xiaoluo, it proves that Xiaoluo is a good girl. There may be something wrong with the person who doesn’t like her.” Ignoring Ling Desheng who was angry, Ling Tianyi walked out of the study directly.
Ling Tianyi wanted to vent his anger by closing the door heavily. But the man inside was his father, so he suppressed his anger. If someone else said to him like this, he would hit him.
Ling Tianyi went downstairs. He Meishu was watching Xia Xiaoluo drinking some soup. Xia Xiaoluo’s eyebrows were deeply frowned. “What’s wrong? Look at your eyebrows. Does the soup taste bad?”
Ling Tianyi pretended to be the same as usual, his face was full of smiles.
“Well, I’m not very hungry!” Xia Xiaoluo said embarrassingly. In fact, she really did not like to drink this soup, but He Meishu was sitting beside her, she couldn’t speak too directly.
“You can also drink it when you are not hungry! Xiaoluo, if you think it’s delicious, I will arrange somebody to deliver it to you every day.” He Meishu smiled. As if Xia Xiaoluo could have a baby after drinking the soup.
Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t refuse He Meishu. She had to drink up the soup, like drinking Chinese Medicine soup. She poured it into her stomach without tasting it.
“I’ve finished. I’m full.” Xia Xiaoluo wiped her mouth, seeming that she has finished a difficult task.
“Mom, Xiaoluo drank up all the soup. I have something else to do. I won’t have dinner at home. We go back now. Call me if you need anything.” Ling Tianyi made Xia Xiaoluo stand up. Because of Ling Desheng’s force, he did not want to stay here anymore.
“What’s wrong? Are you leaving now? Aren’t you arguing with your dad again?” He Meishu seemed to know the temper of her husband and son. She was right.
“It’s all right, mom. We go now. We will come back to see you next time.” Ling Tianyi left the villa with Xia Xiaoluo.
He Meishu hasn’t seen her son for a long time. She could not see her son frequently. When Ling Tianyi was leaving, she went to the gate to see them off.
“Mom, please go back! It’s cold in autumn. Or you will catch a cold.” Xia Xiaoluo said considerately. Ling Tianyi was very satisfied with Xia Xiaoluo’s words, so he smiled slightly
“Well, Xiaoluo, come back when you want to drink soup. If Tianyi is busy, you can come back yourself. If you want to eat something, you can call me first. Mom will ask someone to prepare it for you.” He Meishu said gently.
Ling Tianyi enjoyed this feeling very much. People said that it was difficult to get along well for a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. But he was proud to see that his wife and mother could get along well with each other.
“Drive carefully.” He Meishu also cared about her son. She knew Ling Tianyi loved driving fast. So when Ling Tianyi went out, she told him to drive slowly or something.
After Ling Tianyi drove far away from the villa. Xia Xiaoluo asked, “Darling, what happened? Why do we leave in a hurry?”
“It’s all right, darling!” Ling Tianyi did not want to tell Xia Xiaoluo the conversation between Ling Desheng and him. He wanted to solve the problem by himself.
Ling Desheng knew Ling Tianyi’s weakness, namely the control of Huasheng Group. Although Ling Desheng did not mention it today, Ling Tianyi knew that once his stubborn father made up his mind, he would force him to divorce through Huasheng Group sooner or later. Therefore, he had to prepare a countermeasure as soon as possible.
“Darling, I have a plan. I have planned it for a long time” Ling Tianyi looked at the road ahead, but his tone was slightly excited.
“Yes?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo. She did not know what Ling Tianyi planned to do.
“Don’t you forget? Mom cooks soup for you all the time just for a grandson! And I’m not young. I am ready to be a father.”
“So let’s have a baby!”
After Ling Tianyi said this, he couldn’t control his excitement. He parked his car at the roadside.
“How about it? Darling, let’s have a baby that belongs to us. Everyone will like him” Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo’s hands. Not only did he want a child, but also his mother would be too happy to sleep. He Meishu was crazy to have her own grandson.
If they had a child, even if Ling Desheng didn’t like Xia Xiaoluo, he couldn’t force him to divorce anymore. Because he wanted to give her grandson a healthy family.
“But, darling, I’m still a student!” Xia Xiaoluo said embarrassingly. She didn’t want to have a baby. She was a big baby. How could she be a mother?
“You forgot that? I told you last time. As long as you are pregnant, you don’t have to go to school, staying at home as you like.” Ling Tianyi remembered that he told Xia Xiaoluo last time, now he said it again. Anyway, he knew that Xia Xiaoluo did not like to study. She could do anything as long as she did not need to go to school.
“Darling, I…” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know what to say.
“Well, let’s go to buy something for an expectant mother first. You’ve been in troubles lately. You look thin. Baby needs nutrition, you need to eat something healthy.” Ling Tianyi started the car and went to the shopping mall directly.
They bought folic acid, amino acids, edible bird’s nest and so on. Anyway, as long as the salesman said that it was good, he would buy it.
Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi were shopping for a long time, thus they were sweating. When she came out from the bathroom, Xia Xiaoluo saw Ling Tianyi printing something, who was very attentive.
Xia Xiaoluo thought Ling Tianyi was working, so she went to the living room. But Ling Tianyi called her.
“Darling, you are busy with your work. I will go to watch TV!” Xia Xiaoluo said, wiping her hair.
“I’m not working. Darling, look at the materials, it’s the information about a pregnant woman. I printed it for you.” Ling Tianyi was excited. Having a baby could not only solve the problem of Ling Desheng. In fact, he liked and expected it very much.
