Chapter 3166 Shen Tianyu 566

The first thought that flashed through Shen Tianyu's mind was not to congratulate him, but that Jing Hong was acting like a customer ordering agent, urging for delivery, and a rather unscrupulous one at that.

降世 means birth.

Judging by the dates, Bai Chenxue was clearly newly pregnant.

This guy was so excited he was rambling on and on.

After a half-second pause, Shen Tianyu spoke, "Congratulations!"

Jing Hong's voice couldn't hide his excitement, "Just congratulating them isn't enough. You need to hurry up and make sure Xianxian and Jing Bai aren't too far apart in age, or there will be a generation gap."

Shen Tianyu hung up the phone.

Jing Hong dialed again.

Shen Tianyu frowned slightly, turned off his phone, and found him annoying and too talkative.

Jing Hong then transferred the money to Yuan Jinzhi.

Shen Tianyu reminded Yuan Jinzhi, "Don't answer it, it's from Jing Hong, he's annoying."

Unfortunately, it was too late; Yuan Jinzhi had already answered the phone.

Jing Hongxing's excited voice came through the phone, "Jinzhi, Jing Bai is here! Congratulations to Xuexue and me!"

Yuan Jinzhi smiled and said, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Have you decided on a name for Xianxian yet?"

"The elders in the family are still getting it; they're making a big deal out of it, so it's taking a bit longer."

"Okay, tell me as soon as you get it, and I'll take Xuexue to the Bai family patriarch to fulfill my vow."

Yuan Jinzhi couldn't stop smiling. This was a roundabout way of urging them to have a baby, much more subtle than urging Shen Tianyu.

The elders in her family were afraid of putting too much pressure on her, so no one dared to urge her, but this person started urging her instead.

Yuan Jinzhi said, "Okay, I'll let you know as soon as I get it."

After ending the call, Jing Hong dialed Master Mao's number again, "Grandpa, good news has arrived!"

Master Mao maintained his composure, speaking in a slow and deliberate tone with a hint of authority, "I calculated it this morning, and it has already been predicted."

The next second, he jumped up from his seat, his voice high-pitched, "Xiaoxue is pregnant, right?"

Jing Hong verbally agreed, but in his heart he thought that this grandfather couldn't keep up the act for more than three seconds.

With a whisk draped over his arm and a phone in his other hand, Master Mao jumped around the meditation room like a shaman, shouting, "Wait, I'm coming to find you right now! Let's go!"

"We are in Kyoto."

Master Mao shouted, "Even if you're at the ends of the earth, I'll still rush there!"

His excited expression showed no trace of the profound demeanor of a wise and enlightened person.

Jing Hong laughed, "Xuexue is newly pregnant, your presence is useless."

"Who says I'm useless? I'll go deliver peace charms, pregnancy-protecting charms, and pregnancy-nourishing tonics to Xiaoxue! All sorts of treasures! I'll tell your parents right away! To be honest, your parents have been hoping for a grandson for a long time! With your older brother like that and your special constitution, it's hard for you to find a wife. Finally, you've found a beautiful and talented wife, and you're pregnant with Xiao Jingbai. Your parents will be overjoyed when they find out!"

Jing Hong put the phone on speakerphone.

Bai Chenxue heard it very clearly.

A word flashed through her mind.

He was greatly favored.

It was as if someone who had always been disliked had suddenly fallen into a honey pot, into a paradise, where the whole family treated her like a treasure, and even her defects were insignificant in their eyes.

Master Mao rushed out, shouting to Jing Hong as he ran, "Give the phone to Xiaoxue!"

Just as Jing Hong was about to hand the phone to Bai Chenxue, Master Mao Jun said again, "Wait, cell phones emit radiation!"

"Mobile phone radiation is very low."

"Even if it's very small, it won't work! Put it on speakerphone so Xiaoxue can hear it from a distance."

Jing Hong smiled and said, "It's open."

Master Mao stopped, coughed twice, raised his voice, and said with a strong, resonant tone, "Xiaoxue, you are now the treasure of our Mao family, and you are carrying our direct descendant. Our Mao family's ancestor originated during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, more than a hundred years BC. This can be verified in historical records, and you, being well-versed in ancient texts, should have seen some of them. Our Mao family has never produced a coward. During the War of Resistance against Japan, the Maoshan Taoists stepped forward in the face of national crisis, and many people died at that time. The Mao family was almost wiped out. Your willingness to continue our Mao family line is truly a blessing from heaven. Xiaoxue, I, Old Mao, thank you!"

Bai Chenxue was flattered and surprised.

She quickly said, "Grandpa, I, I'm just pregnant. Every woman gets pregnant. I'm not as great as you say."

"You are amazing! Childbirth is a life-or-death experience for women, it's not easy! But don't worry, Grandpa won't let anything happen to you!"

Bai Chenxue quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"You get some rest. If Jing Hong makes you angry, you must tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will spank him!"

Bai Chenxue smiled, "He won't."

"Okay, I'll go tell your parents-in-law and make them happy too!"

Mao Junzhen hung up the phone.

Bai Chenxue still had a smile on her lips, but as she smiled, her eyes reddened.

Jing Hong hugged her and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Bai Chenxue smiled through her tears.

She reached out and pinched Jing Hong.

It didn't hurt, but Jing Hong deliberately made an exaggerated sound.

Bai Chenxue smiled and said, "It's true."

Having been sickly for many years and predicted by countless fortune tellers to die young, she never imagined that in her lifetime she could get married like a normal person, get pregnant like a normal person, and be pampered by her in-laws.

Jing Hong raised his voice, "Of course it's true! You know how powerful I, Jing Shijiu, am."

Bai Chenxue rolled her eyes at him.

He's clearly in his twenties, he's already been exposed, but he's still pretending!

Although Shen Tianyu found Jing Hong annoying, he still told Gu Aoting the good news.

He's part of the "old folks' atmosphere" group; he's the only one who can skillfully navigate interpersonal relationships without being annoying.

However, he calculated up to the first day of the lunar month, but not the fifteenth.

Because Gu Aoting performed beyond expectations this time!

Unlike usual, Gu Aoting didn't send Bai Chenxue maternity and baby supplies, nor did he send her various delicacies, rare and expensive tonics, or generous red envelopes. Instead, he sent her a villa, a detached villa in the Gu Family Manor.

Although the size is half that of the mansions given to Shen Tianyu, Gu Jinzhou, and Gu Chufan, it is still a rare luxury mansion worth nearly 100 million.

Gu Aoting had his own plans.

Metaphysics is a secret of heaven, and if too much is revealed, it will incur divine retribution.

We can't just focus on Shen Tianyu; Jing Hong knows a little bit too. Even if Jing Hong doesn't know much, it doesn't matter, he has his grandfather.

Winning over Jing Hong means winning over Master Mao, Jing Ge, and Jing Hua, and thus the entire Maoshan sect.

A family needs more than just money; it also needs a background and power.

Quan is from the Yuan family.

Having money and power is not enough; one must also have principles.

If a family has all three and still cannot stop its decline, then its fate has run out.

All he could do was try to prolong the Gu family's lifespan as much as possible.

During his time in office, he often read books such as "The Way of Business," "The Art of War," and "The Thick Black Theory." Nowadays, in addition to "History of Ming" edited by Yan Qingyu, he also often reads "Dream of the Red Chamber" by Cao Xueqin.

In the History of Ming, the emperor he felt most sorry for was Chongzhen. In Dream of the Red Chamber, he studied not the male and female protagonists Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu the most, but Grandmother Jia.

He repeatedly studied the actions of Emperor Chongzhen and Grandmother Jia, building upon their achievements to ensure the prosperity of his family.

That detached villa had been fully furnished long ago.

Jing Hong was never one to be polite.

That same day, he packed his bags and moved in with Bai Chenxue.

The first thing I did after moving in was to visit Shen Tianyu's house.

Seeing Jing Hong's smug and self-satisfied appearance, Shen Tianyu never expected that one day he would actually shoot himself in the foot.
