Chapter 197 This is your way of hospitality
The Bai family's enterprise has been acquired, and its huge debts have been mortgaged with fixed assets, including the villa where the Bai family has lived for more than 40 years, as well as numerous properties and various funds. All debts will be repaid, and the remaining debts will be borne by the acquirer.

In other words, Shang Jianghan owed the Bai family 300 million yuan in debt, so he had the right to control the future of the Bai family.

Bai Qirui stood up from the sofa and collapsed on the floor the next moment.

On the way back, Shang Jianghan told Old Mrs. Bai everything about the result.

"I will arrange for you to recuperate in a sanatorium, or you can stay with my aunt. I will transfer the villa in the western suburbs to my aunt. It is quiet there and suitable for recuperation."

Old Mrs. Bai was speechless for a moment.

Until they got off the car, she took Shang Jianghan's hand and asked tremblingly.

"Where is your mother? How are you going to place her?" The old lady emphasized the word "placement".

"He is ill. I will send him abroad for treatment."

By then, the Bai family acquisition case, which had been going on for two months, would have come to an end.

The next day, the verdict on Bai Jingran's rape of an underage girl was also announced, and he was sentenced to twelve years in prison.

A large and prosperous family that had flourished since the last century collapsed after the death of Mr. Bai.

Shen Chaoxi returned to the villa that afternoon. Her hand was injured, so the hospital arranged for a nurse to accompany her.

Maybe because she knew she was pregnant and kept it in her heart, Shen Chaoxi had a strong reaction to her first pregnancy.

Sleepiness, morning sickness, and fatigue all came to my mind at once.

Shang Jianghan reduced his work by half. He went to work in the morning while Shen Chaoxi was sleeping, and came back at noon. He would deal with any matters at home.

It is already February and there is only half a month left until the New Year.

This year, it snowed one after another in Beijing. Often after a heavy snowfall, the weather would be clear for a week, and then there would be another heavy snowfall.

Shen Chaoxi got up at nine o'clock and was attracted by the rustling snowflakes outside the window. He stood at the door wearing a thick cotton coat and listened to the rustling sound of snow pressing on the branches.

Very relaxing.

I just drank half a bowl of millet porridge, plus a small piece of sweet potato, but I didn't feel like vomiting. Sister Liu was so happy that she almost danced on the spot.

Because the hostess is pregnant, she has very strict requirements on food, and there is an endless stream of foods that cannot be touched, so the nanny and the cook at home are always on alert.

You can eat two eggs today, but the next day you may not even be able to see the egg skin.

"I'll make this millet porridge with sweet potatoes again tomorrow morning. It's okay to eat it, but you need to take some time off."

Mrs. Liu was holding a small notebook and making notes on it.

The kitchen aunt came over, looked out the window, and whispered.

"Do you think your wife is pregnant with a boy or a girl? Judging from how much she's been struggling, it's probably a naughty baby!"

"It's good to be naughty, and it's smart to be naughty. If you are born in such a golden nest and don't eat or drink for your whole life, this child will be reincarnated."

"It's mainly because my wife is a good person. No matter how upset she was these past few days, she never took it out on us. But my husband sometimes looks unhappy."

"Shh! Don't say that. Isn't that heartbreaking?"

"Let's stop talking and prepare lunch. We have guests coming to our house soon."

"Yes, it's good to have someone to talk to and make things lively."

Sister Liu was talking to my aunt here, but her hands were not idle.

Shen Chaoxi stood outside for half an hour and waited for Zhongli to come.

"Didn't you say you vomited every day and couldn't even get out of bed? I guess you're fine now?" Zhongli looked at the person in front of him, "But if you look closely, you've lost some weight."

Everyone has been very busy recently, and Shen Chaoxi has been making a lot of noise. Shang Jianghan discussed with her last night that it would be better to let family members come over more often, as it might be better to chat and divert their attention.

The expectant father has been doing a lot of research on this aspect these days.

Shen Chaoxi thought it was feasible. So Shang Jianghan, who had already fallen asleep, got up again and went to the balcony to call every household.

Pregnant women should stay away from mobile phone radiation.

Shen Chaoxi smiled at her: "Don't mention it. Maybe she/he knew you were coming, so she/he didn't make a fuss. Otherwise, I would be lying on the floor right now, having intimate contact with the toilet!"

I am currently five weeks pregnant and all indicators are normal.

The two of them admired the snow for a while and then went into the hall.

The indoor temperature is kept at 25 or 26 degrees, which is just right for wearing a sweatshirt.

Zhongli walked around Shen Chaoxi and saw that she had a slender waist and didn't look pregnant at all.

Sister Liu brought some fruit and said with a smile, "It's obvious that Miss Zhong has no experience. It takes four or even five months for a woman to show her pregnancy! And it also depends on whether the fetus is in the front or back position. ..."

Zhongli picked up an apple and took a bite, and the juice immediately filled his mouth.

Shen Chaoxi was standing next to her. When he heard the voice and smelled the sweet fruity fragrance, he ran towards the toilet like a 100-meter sprint the next second, and soon he heard the sound of retching from inside.

Zhongli:……

She looked at the apple and stopped talking, not knowing whether to blame herself or the apple.

Mrs. Liu remained calm. She quickly took away the fruit that had been brought to her and also took away the apple that Zhongli had taken a bite of.

Zhongli:……

No, this... this is how you treat your guests!
I thought Zhongli was the only one coming today, but I didn't expect that half an hour later, there was a whole table full of people.

Yao Chun and Zheng Juanjuan came together.

Then Liang Jing came.

The last one to come was Xu Yun.

She knew that Shen Chaoxi had been feeling unwell recently, so she came here to visit him and to report on his work progress.

Xu Yun has changed a lot during this period of time. He has become cheerful and optimistic, and has a sweet appearance. He wore a white sweatshirt, light white jeans, and tied his hair into a ponytail, which quickly attracted Liang Jing's attention.

"How old is this child?" Liang Jing asked Shen Chaoxi quietly.

"Twenty-six, right? That's the age on my ID card."

Shen Chaoxi curled up on the sofa, hugging a pillow and sipping apple juice.

I just vomited and suddenly my appetite was aroused by the apple, but I couldn’t stand the chewing sound, so I had to squeeze the juice to drink.

"Aunt, do you have any ideas? Should I introduce Shuoxi...Brother to you?"

This name is a little bit awkward.

Liang Jing snorted and said angrily: "He is not worthy, he is always out of tune, if a good girl follows him, she will be unlucky for the rest of her life!"

Shen Chaoxi: ...

Liang Jing has been worrying a lot about her children's marriage issues. She is now feeling like giving up, especially when she learned that Shen Chaoxi was pregnant. She was completely disheartened.

Shen Chaoxi wanted to laugh, but held it back because of his elders.

Zhongli was chatting with Zheng Juanjuan about the strange stories of the aunties in the community. When he got excited, he clapped his thighs and laughed.

Liang Jing couldn't bear to watch it, so she could only change the topic to Xu Yun.

"I have a little brother, who is my parents' late-born son. He has been working on a website abroad for many years. He returned to China a while ago. He is 35 years old, not married, and has no partner.

...A few years ago, I dated someone abroad. We were together for seven or eight years, but we were both busy with our careers. In the end, our careers didn't work out and our relationship deteriorated, so we broke up!

I think Xu Yun is a good person, but the age gap between them is a bit big. Can you help me ask her if she has any plans to find a partner?
You know our family conditions. We are not picky about the girl's family, as long as she is a decent girl.

But the most important thing is that we two hit it off."
