English Novel
Chapter 273
Xu Guimin frowned, wanting to continue, but Xu Xiuhe's attitude was firm, his expression serious as if there was no room for negotiation.0
"What I wanted to say, I've said to you before. You've also seen it, Xu Corporation isn't what it used to be. You should be well aware of the losses Yu Corporation incurred during the time when Xu Zhengyang was managing the company. Now more than half of the Xu Group's shares are in my hands, you..."0
Xu Xiuhe didn't continue, his eyes staring directly at Xu Guimin. Xu Guimin wasn't a fool, he understood what Xu Xiuhe was implying.0
"Is there really no room for discussion?" Xu Guimin asked.0
"None."0
Xu Xiuhe replied emotionless.0
The man, aged over fifty, picked up the pen in his hand, and shakily wrote down Xu Guimin's three characters. Xu Xiuhe handed over the ink pad, and Xu Guimin stamped his handprint.0
Xu Xiuhe took the document, turned around, and left. The rest was up to Liu Bo.0
On New Year's Eve, in Yuelan Manor, the decor was just as it had been the previous year. Festive reds dominated, full of New Year's joy.0
"These few days, you must keep up with your nutrition, so when the time comes for delivery, you'll have the energy."0
Fang Yue served Shen Yin soup for her. Although it was a New Year's Eve dinner, most of the dishes on the table were suitable for a pregnant woman.0
"I know, Mom."0
Shen Yin picked up the soup spoon and started to drink.0
"You should get some rest early tonight. Recovery is important."0
Fang Yue continued to remind her. This New Year's Eve meal, which was originally supposed to be eaten close to midnight was prepared early because of Shen Yin's condition. 0
"OK, I'll listen to you, Mom."0
Just as Shen Yin finished speaking, something seemed to be wrong.0
"Yin Yin, what's the matter?" Xu Xiuhe was filled with worry and was the first to notice that Shen Yin's expression was off.0
Just as he finished speaking, everyone else at the table looked their way.0
Shen Yin glanced at her belly and said in a weak voice, "I think... I might be about to give birth."0
"What? Isn't your due date tomorrow?" Shen Lv put down his chopsticks.0
"Birthing is never precise. I was in labor for a long time when your sister was born. Shen Lv, start the car. Xiuhe, help Yin Yin. I'll go and grab some things."0
Xu Yunzheng, taken aback, quickly rose and followed behind Shen Yin and Xu Xiuhe.0
In the car, the family of three sat in the back while Shen Lv drove. Seeing Shen Yin's pained expression, he started the car without waiting for Fang Yue.0
"You call Mom and tell her which hospital we're headed to. I'll call to have the hospital prepare."0
The two made their respective calls. Shen Yin leaned her head against Xu Xiuhe's shoulder, and Xu Yunzheng patted her hand.0
"Mommy won't hurt."0
At nine o'clock in the evening, the car sped along the road. The traffic was lighter than usual, and as they passed residential areas, every house was brightly lit.0
"This little one, not obeying me, hasn't given me a chance to celebrate the New Year properly," Shen Yin said with a pale face but a smile.0
"Do you still feel uncomfortable? We'll be at the hospital soon," asked Xu Xiuhe.0
"I'm fine."0
When Fang Yue came downstairs, she saw that Shen Lv's car had already left. She didn’t say much and made straight for the garage.0
She hadn’t entered when a car came out of the garage. Shen Tianzheng was sitting in the driver's seat. Seeing Fang Yue standing at the side, he immediately got out of the car and opened the back door. He gently put the wrapped clothes and the newborn products from Fang Yue's hands onto the backseat.0
"Can you handle it? It's probably very cold at the hospital tonight," said Fang Yue, looking at Shen Tianzheng who was only wearing a sweater.0
"I have a thick coat in the backseat."0
On hearing his response, Fang Yue looked in the backseat and indeed, it was there.0
"Drive slower to Rong City Hospital. We're not in a rush," Fang Yue reminded him earnestly, knowing that it had been a long time since Shen Lv had driven a car.0
"No problem, stop being so careful. I'm not sick now," Shen Tianzheng retorted.0
While they were speaking, Shen Lv's car arrived at the hospital. There were already people waiting at the entrance to help. Shen Yin was lifted onto a stretcher and taken directly to the delivery room.0
"I'll go in too. Yunzheng, will you wait out here for mom and dad?" said Xu Xiuhe, before entering. He was a little worried and left a message for Xu Yunzheng.0
"Okay."0
Xu Yunzheng knew he shouldn't cause trouble at this moment. He was familiar with the scene and had experience. He had been here with his mother once before, waiting for Aunt Qi Ji, who later gave birth to two babies.0
"Brother, please look after him," Xu Xiuhe said to Shen Lv.0
Shen Lv glanced at the delivery room, inserted one hand in his trouser pocket, and with the other hand gently patted Yunzheng's head. "Don't worry, I'll take care of him."0
After Xu Xiuhe entered, Xu Yunzheng ran to the door. Shen Lv sat restless on the chair outside. He felt somewhat guilty towards his sister.0
"Uncle, will brother and sister soon join this world to play with Yunzheng?” the little one asked.0
"Brother and sister?"0
"Yes, just like Aunt Qi Ji. She stayed in this room and then had brother Le'an and sister Leyu."0
"Kid, do you like brother or sister?"0
"I like both."0
Shen Lv laughed; how was he supposed to explain that not everyone in this room ends up having twins? Besides, Shen Yin was bearing a little princess.0
"How are things?" Fang Yue and Shen Tianzheng hurried over. They were carrying large bags in their hands.0
"They've just gone in not long ago, doctors and nurses have already entered," Shen Lv reported.0
"Have you found the patient room? Your father and I can put all this stuff away."0
"I'll go. You and dad wait here. Yunzheng, do you want to come with me?"0
The little boy sat on the chair, his short legs dangling in the air, swinging back and forth. He rested his elbows on his thighs, holding up his chin with his hands. On hearing Shen Lv's words, he said, "No, I will wait here for my mom and dad."0
Shen Lv didn't say much and went directly downstairs to arrange their things in the recently prepared hospital room.0
"Granny Fang,” the boy asked “when will my parents be out?"0
"Just wait a little while, why don't you have a nap, Yunzheng? By the time you wake up, you'll be able to see your mom and sister.” 0
Fang Yue comforted him, but she also had no clue when Shen Yin would be out. Everyone's physical constitution varies in giving birth. Some women take as long as ten hours in the delivery room, others only two hours. But even in the quickest case, Shen Yin was likely to take quite a long time.0
"Yunzheng, come on, lean on Granny Fang." 0
Fang Yue draped a coat over Xu Yunzheng. Yunzheng obediently leaned towards Fang Yue's arm. 0
Fang Yue adjusted her position, trying to make Yunzheng more comfortable. 0
On the other side of the room, Shen Tianzheng was sat upright on a chair. His posture betrayed signs of tension. 0
"Yunzheng, why don't you lean on Granny Fang and take a nap?"0
