In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 158 Another Trouble Solved

But it took less than two days for Xu Zhen to also learn about this news, yet Xu Zhen was somewhat anxious.

That was his good friend of many years, now arrested by the police, and according to reliable information, it was possible he wouldn’t be able to get out for the rest of his life, which made Xu Zhen even more worried at heart.

However, the crime Zhao Lei committed was clear, and all the evidence was irrefutable, leaving no room for him to maneuver.

People from the Zhao family had already approached him, hoping he could help, but Xu Zhen really couldn’t do anything.

Nevertheless, Xu Zhen had vaguely sensed something amiss somewhere else, as if there was a trace of the Xu Group secretly adding fuel to the fire.

Xu Zhen himself had never done such a thing, and he didn’t believe anyone in the Xu Family could do such a thing, except...

Except Xu Jinzhi!

That morning, when Xu Jinzhi went to the company, and before he had a chance to do anything, he had already been summoned to Xu Zhen’s office.

Xu Jinzhi had already guessed what his father wanted to talk to him about, as by now, the news had already broken and it was certainly impossible to keep it from Xu Zhen.

If Xu Zhen really hadn’t discovered anything, Xu Jinzhi would instead find it questionable.

So, he went to Xu Zhen’s office, and seeing Xu Zhen’s stern expression, Xu Jinzhi maintained a relaxed demeanor, not showing any sign of nervousness.

Xu Zhen did not beat around the bush to probe Xu Jinzhi, but asked directly, "The matter with your Uncle Zhao, were you the one behind stirring things up?"

"Yes." Xu Jinzhi admitted very frankly.

Xu Zhen frowned deeply, "Why would you suddenly do such a thing?"

Xu Jinzhi had already thought of an excuse, so when Xu Zhen asked this question, he did not hesitate to say, "He was the one who first thought of plotting against us. To avoid further trouble, I thought it best to send him in directly."

"When did he plot against us?" Xu Zhen asked further.

"It was last year when I attended the summit in Shenzhen. I heard him say it with my own ears."

"It’s just that he hadn’t had the chance to do it yet."

Because he knew his father’s absolute trust in him, Xu Jinzhi said it was what he had heard himself, so Xu Zhen would not ask him for any evidence.

Also, an important point was that Zhao Lei’s crime was a fact, she had merely let these facts come to light.

It wasn’t that she had fabricated them for Zhao Lei’s sake.

"So when the Zhao family comes to you, just reject them outright, no need to save face. As for the reasoning, we are in business, not running a police station," Xu Jinzhi said gravely.

Xu Zhen was silent for a long while before finally saying in a heavy tone, "Understood."

Xu Zhen indeed harbored some feelings of sentimentality, but after hearing the reasons from Xu Jinzhi, he no longer entertained these feelings.

He wasn’t someone without brains, incapable of harboring kindness towards someone who wanted to harm him, even his own daughter.

"Then I’ll be taking my leave," Xu Jinzhi said in a light tone.

Xu Zhen nodded.

Afterward, Xu Jinzhi turned around and left, not hiding her cheerful mood at that moment at all.

After all, she had resolved another issue, her father would be safe and sound, so naturally, Xu Jinzhi was happy.

...

In mid-September, Xu Jinzhi had her second prenatal check-up.

During the ultrasound, the shadow was much more distinct than last month, and Xu Jinzhi could now make out the baby’s body with the doctor’s explanation.

Xie Yanchuan was also looking at the ultrasound, his eyes brimming with unmistakable joy.

He watched very intently, but when Xu Jinzhi and the doctor weren’t paying attention, his eyes blinked slightly, a flicker of surprise passing through them. fгeewebnovёl.com

Afterwards, Xu Jinzhi had some other tests done, and when the results came back, they headed to the doctor’s office.

The doctor, smiling at the results, said to the two expectant parents, "The baby is doing fine. Just relax and don’t worry."

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan exchanged smiles, feeling elated.

Following that, the doctor added, "As for the hotpot you mentioned, you can have it, but in moderation. Eating normally shouldn’t be an issue."

Xu Jinzhi felt a bit embarrassed as she had impulsively asked the doctor about eating hotpot.

So after confirming the baby’s health, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan left the hospital, but they didn’t go straight home; instead, they went to eat hotpot.

The spicy hotpot made Xu Jinzhi break into a sweat even at the tip of her nose, but it was so delicious she couldn’t help herself!

Xie Yanchuan didn’t stop Xu Jinzhi, just as the doctor had said, an occasional meal would have no real impact.

By the time they finished eating, Xu Jinzhi was holding a cup of milk tea that Xie Yanchuan had bought for her from next door.

The two still didn’t head back; Xu Jinzhi wanted to buy some clothes for herself as her belly was growing due to the pregnancy, and her previous clothes were neither suitable nor comfortable.

However, they originally planned to buy clothes for Xu Jinzhi, but ended up looking at children’s clothes.

Xu Jinzhi showed Xie Yanchuan a little dress for a two-year-old, "Look, isn’t this outfit just adorable?"

Xu Jinzhi recalled how in her past life, Song You had bought so many little dresses for the baby before Tuantuan was born, and when it turned out to be a boy, Song You was extremely disappointed.

But Song You was not willing to let it go, especially since Tuantuan was particularly cute as a child, especially his beautiful eyes, which many said looked like a girl’s.

When Tuantuan was a little over two, Song You coaxed him into wearing the dresses and took lots of photos.

Xie Yanchuan couldn’t really say whether it was pretty or not, all that mattered was that Xu Jinzhi liked it, so he nodded and said, "If you like it, we can buy that same style."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinzhi looked over and saw an enlarged version of the dress in her hands, then her facial expression stiffened.

Indeed, it was the same style, the same color, but the enlarged version of the little dress was indescribably awkward.

Xu Jinzhi simply couldn’t imagine how ugly she would look wearing that dress!

"Only the small one looks nice." Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan expressionlessly, showing her displeasure at his suggestion of wearing such an ugly dress.

Xie Yanchuan gazed at the little dress in Xu Jinzhi’s hands, his brow slightly furrowed, appearing hesitant.

After locking eyes for a moment, Xu Jinzhi suddenly said, "Don’t tell me you prefer boys over girls, and that’s why you don’t want me to buy the dress?"

Xie Yanchuan was somewhat amused, "That’s not what I meant. Boy or girl, it’s our child, and I will love them all the same."

"Pretty words, but then why won’t you let me buy this little dress?"
