When the topic of babies came up, everyone became more interested. Counting both inside and outside the Zhong family, there were several children. Zhong Lingtian’s grandmother was the main wife, and Zhong Lingtian’s aunt’s daughter was also the daughter.
Zhong Lingtian's cousin is now the mother of two children. Zhong Lingtian's two daughters, Zhong Lingyu and Zhong Lingshuang, also have a son each.
On the second wife's side, Zhong Lingtian's second aunt's family has a cousin. His cousin's wife gave birth to twin girls, and the younger aunt's cousin is also pregnant now, more than five months old.
However, although there are many children, there is only one with the real surname Zhong, and that is Zhong Lingzhe, the son of Zhong Lingtian's uncle's family.
Xiaozhe is six years old this year. He is similar in age to the other children in the family, but his personality is much different. This child is a bit introverted and doesn't like to talk. He keeps his head drooped and silent from beginning to end.
Zhong Xinxiu inherited the family business, and Xiao Zhe was naturally the future successor, so Qiao Jianan had been working hard to train him, but this child was not very enlightened, always taciturn, and was not even close to Qiao Jianan.
Although Liang Yixun is Xiaozhe's sister-in-law in terms of seniority, there is a difference of more than twenty years in terms of age. Liang Yixun naturally views this child from the perspective of an elder. Seeing him alone,
Hiding alone in the crowd, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Although Xiaozhe was wearing famous brands from head to toe, he was clean and tidy, like an aristocratic young master, but she could see that this child was like a bird in a cage, and he was living a little better.
Neither are happy.
Liang Yixun felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Zhong Lingtian's family had moved away from Hong Kong. Otherwise, in such a big family, their future children would definitely be under a lot of pressure. She didn't want her future children to be like Xiaozhe, who behaved like this at a young age.
unhappy.
Although Zhong Lingtian withdrew from the inheritance competition that year, he is the eldest grandson of the Zhong family after all. His children naturally attract attention, so everyone is also curious about when Liang Yixun will add a child to the Zhong family, and whether it will be a boy or a girl.
.
Zhong Lingtian said, "It's the same whether it's a boy or a girl, but if I could choose, I would prefer a daughter. A daughter is well-behaved and filial, and she is the caring little cotton-padded jacket of her parents."
More importantly, if Xiaoxun gives birth to a girl in the future, then the Zhong family can be completely relieved. Although the issue of inheritance rights has long been settled, the Zhong family has had family funds for generations, and the ratio of boys and girls is different.
Same, slightly less girls and more boys.
Liang Yixun originally thought that men and women were the same, but when she heard Zhong Lingtian say this, she felt very happy. If this was true, then having a daughter would obviously be a better choice.
The corners of Liang Yixun's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile that even she didn't notice.
She didn't even know how many people were dazzled by her happy smile.

The whole family is here, so going up the mountain to visit the tomb is a must, but it's almost night now, so we can only go early tomorrow morning.
But the cemetery of generations of the Zhong family is far away from here, and it is too late to set off tomorrow morning, so everyone unanimously decided to set off tonight. Anyway, there is a private courtyard of the Zhong family at the foot of the mountain. We will stay there for one night, and then walk up the mountain to visit the tomb early tomorrow morning.
In order to get to the other courtyard as soon as possible, dinner was also postponed. Without further ado, everyone went back to their rooms to simply pack their luggage and then got ready to set off.
There are many people and many cars, but there are not enough drivers. The reason is that because of the Chinese New Year, the drivers take turns to rest. Zhong Lingtian and his party of six have not been in Hong Kong for a long time. Naturally, they came here without a driver this time, and the driver who just went to pick them up is now
There are also various driving tasks, and there is a slight shortage of manpower for a while. It is possible to find a driver who takes turns to come back, but this time will be delayed.
"It's just me and Xiaozhe in my car. Children don't take up much space. Ling Tian and Xiaoxun, why don't you take my car and squeeze in," Qiao Jianan said proactively.
Zhong Lingtian refused flatly, "No, there is still a car, but there are not enough drivers. I can just drive it myself."
Qiao Jianan smiled slightly, as if she knew he would refuse, but she was prepared.
"You've been on a plane for several hours. It's so hard to drive by yourself. Xiaoxun will feel bad for you like this, right?" Qiao Jianan tactfully put the question to Liang Yixun.
Zhong Lingtian's eyes tightened and he stared at Qiao Jianan. He didn't understand what this woman wanted to do. She called him last night and took the initiative to talk to Xiaoxun many times today. What was her intention?
Qiao Jianan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was deliberately provoking.
Zhong Lingtian didn't want to cause trouble, so he had to endure it quietly.
Liang Yixun is indeed in a dilemma. Of course she wants to sit in a car alone with Zhong Lingtian because it is easier to talk, but she doesn't want him to have to work so hard. However, she is not the only two options. She can also drive, and she can drive with him.
Open it instead.
"Aunt, it's really not necessary. I can drive with Ling Tian instead, so that I won't be too tired." Liang Yixun refused because she felt that this Qiao Jianan was strange in some way, so she had better not interact with him less.
It's better. She's not smart, but she's not stupid either. She's new to the Zhong family and doesn't want to have close contact with anyone. She can't get along with the complicated relationship between wealthy families. She should just be an ordinary wife by Zhong Lingtian's side.
, and she can handle such trivial matters as driving.
Zhong Lingtian praised Liang Yixun's answer in his heart, smiled at her, stretched out his hand to hold hers, and the two of them intertwined their fingers, looking so deeply in love that no words were needed.
But in front of outsiders, Liang Yixun was a little embarrassed after all, so she squeezed his hand gently, but after squeezing, she suddenly discovered something: she had forgotten her handbag!
"Ling Tian, my bag was left in the room, I'll go back and get it!"
Liang Yixun turned around and went back to her room, giving Qiao Jianan and Zhong Lingtian a chance to talk alone.
Zhong Lingtian's expression also changed greatly after Liang Yixun left. His brows were furrowed, troubled and dissatisfied. He said to Qiao Jianan in a low voice, "What on earth do you want to do? If you have anything to do, just talk to me directly."
Say, don’t bring Xiaoxun into the mix!"
Qiao Jianan was amused by his protective tone, "You mean she doesn't know about our relationship yet?"
Zhong Lingtian said calmly, "Of course she knows, you are my aunt!"
"You..." Qiao Jianan's face changed slightly, but she gritted her teeth and did not attack. She smiled again, "Am I just your aunt? How can an ordinary aunt and nephew have such a good relationship? You have forgotten that we used to..."
"Qiao Jianan!" Zhong Lingtian's face turned gloomy, and there was a chill in his dark eyes, "My patience has its limits! You should also remember your identity! The spouse column on your ID card says Zhong Xinxiu! Auntie!"
Qiao Jianan's heart stung slightly, and she wanted to say something again, but Liang Yixun had already returned with her handbag, so she hesitated and put a faint smile on her face again.
Liang Yixun was slightly out of breath and was busy trying to calm down his breathing, but he didn't notice anything.
Qiao Jianan pretended to be concerned, "Xiao Xun, you look tired, you might as well take my car, and I still have a lot to say to you!"
Zhong Lingtian clenched his fist slightly, his patience reaching the bottom line.
"Ling Tian! Come here!" Luo Guangzhen shouted from a distance.
Zhong Lingtian turned around when he heard the sound, and Liang Yixun also followed, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Luo Guangzhen said as if she had a slight headache, "Ling Tian, I'm a little tired today. I want to sleep in the car for a while. You and your father can switch driving, and let Xiaoxun, Xiaoxue, and Yantang sit in one car. How many of them are there?"
They all have driver’s licenses, so it should be no problem to switch between driving.”
Luo Guangzhen used her body as an excuse, and no one could say no, so what she said naturally worked.
Qiao Jianan was too embarrassed to be so shameless anymore and left angrily.
So, Zhong Lingtian and Zhong Xinyi, Luo Guangzhen in one car, Liang Yixun and Zhong Lingxue in another car, and He Yantang in another car, a family of six quickly joined the large group and drove onto the highway.
It was obvious that Luo Guangzhen deliberately asked Zhong Lingtian to come to her because she had something to say.
"Ling Tian, let's forget about the past, but it's obvious that Qiao Jianan doesn't want to settle the matter, so I think you'd better tell Xiaoxun the matter. You tell her first to be honest, and then you can tell her when she asks about it later.
, the nature is different. Xiaoxun is a good child, I think she will understand you. But if you keep hiding it, then even if it is nothing, it will become something. When the time comes, you will want her to understand you.
, but it’s difficult.”
Zhong Lingtian remained silent, obviously still not thinking clearly.
Luo Guangzhen knew his difficulties and couldn't help but sigh, "Mom, I know there are some things you don't want to mention. Then think about it again. If it doesn't work, let me tell Xiaoxun. I, the mother-in-law, will explain it myself. Xiaoxun will definitely give me a few words."
To save face."
"No, Mom, I will handle this matter myself." Zhong Lingtian seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

After nearly two hours of driving, everyone arrived at their destination. The Zhong family's villa was also very grand, but because it was located in a relatively remote place and people didn't come here often, it felt a lot cooler than the Zhong family's old residence.
The cars stopped one after another, and the people inside got off one after another. Although two hours was not a long time, the mountain road was difficult to travel, and everyone felt uncomfortable sitting there, and Liang Yixun was no exception.
She felt a little uncomfortable halfway through, but she kept holding on. But as soon as she got out of the car and the air changed, she couldn't hold on any longer. She felt a strong sense of nausea and wanted to vomit.
"Ugh..." She covered her mouth and rushed to the trash can on the roadside.
"Xiao Xun! What's wrong with you?" Zhong Lingtian rushed over eagerly.
Zhong Lingxue blinked and guessed excitedly, "Could my sister-in-law be pregnant?"
Not far away, Qiao Jianan's expression suddenly changed.
