Chapter 1078 - 930: Helping You Remember
Old Master Zhang knew his son would definitely say he didn’t remember, but how could he let him off?
"Don’t tell me you don’t remember, I’ve been keeping track of everything!
Back then you must have thought I was a really clueless dad, right?"
Zhang Zhentian truly found Old Master Zhang clueless. How could it be like this? Isn’t it supposed to be ’when a man gets a wife, he forgets his mother’? But now it’s become ’when a man gets a daughter-in-law, he forgets his son’?
Zhang Zhentian felt completely unbalanced. He really didn’t expect his dad to be so obsessed with wanting a grandson, that now pregnant Xia Jingyi even made him forget he had a son, sigh! Looks like the days ahead will be difficult...
"How’s that? Doesn’t it feel great to be yelled at inexplicably? Let’s see if you’ll dare to randomly yell at me in the future, hmph!" Xia Jing looked at Zhang Zhentian, whose frustration made him speechless. Her mood lifted considerably.
"You... you..." Zhang Zhentian, infuriated by Xia Jing, stuttered as he pointed at her, "Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Oh? What do you mean I’m doing it on purpose? Did I intentionally do anything? And stop randomly pointing at me, or I’ll tell Dad that you’re bullying me!" Ever since Old Master Zhang helped Xia Jing teach Zhang Zhentian a lesson, Xia Jing started to bully Zhang Zhentian back! When Zhang Zhentian bullied Xia Jing, she could go complain to Old Master Zhang, but when Xia Jing bullied Zhang Zhentian, he couldn’t go complain to his father. Even if he did, his dad would surely side with Xia Jing and not him!
"Fine, a good man doesn’t fight with a woman, consider it your win!" Zhang Zhentian said reluctantly.
"What’s this about a ’good man doesn’t fight with a woman’? Clearly, you couldn’t win against me, so you’re conceding, right? And losing in front of your wife isn’t disgraceful, why do you act like you’ve suffered a huge grievance?! Making it seem like I’m bullying you!"
Originally, Xia Jing had no ill intentions, but speaking in this tone just made people overthink. Hearing Xia Jing speak like this felt like cold sarcasm to Zhang Zhentian, making him quite unhappy. He glared at Xia Jing, and seeing his eyes wide open, Xia Jing said, "Hey, Zhentian, why are your eyes so big? Are your eyes uncomfortable? Staring at me like this feels like a rare honor!"
Xia Jing didn’t curb her temper just because Zhang Zhentian glared at her, instead she kept on joking with him, leaving Zhang Zhentian unsure of how to react. Now he couldn’t scold or talk to Xia Jing, otherwise, he’d be the one in trouble, making him feel very frustrated. He had never been so aggravated, he wished he could stuff a piece of cloth in Xia Jing’s mouth so she’d be quiet, that way he’d have peace, but then he’d be in trouble!
"I’m not talking to you anymore!" Zhang Zhentian said and turned to leave.
After Zhang Zhentian left, Xia Jing received a call from Li Jiayuan: "Sis, what are you up to?"
"Jiayuan, what made you think to give me a call today?" Xia Jing’s attitude towards Li Jiayuan was a complete 180 from her attitude towards Zhang Zhentian, laughing as she spoke to Li Jiayuan.
"I’ve got good news to tell you, let’s meet at the Star Coffee Shop, don’t bail!" Li Jiayuan said and hung up.
Xia Jing grabbed her handbag and prepared to meet Li Jiayuan. As she reached the door, Aunt Xu stepped forward and said, "Xia Jing, where are you going? The Master said you shouldn’t go out recently!"
"Aunt Xu, it’s fine, I’m just going out to buy some things for the baby and meet Jiayuan, I’ll be back soon! Don’t worry, I’m running late, I’ll be off now!" Xia Jing said and promptly left, afraid that if she stayed any longer Aunt Xu wouldn’t let her go out, so she hurriedly ran out with her bag.
"Whoa, the air outside is so nice, I haven’t been out for over a month. Now I’m finally out, oh yeah!" Xia Jing was overjoyed. For over a month, apart from sleeping, she’d been bullied by Zhang Zhentian, never having time to go out and play. Now that she was finally out, she intended to enjoy herself thoroughly before returning!
Star Coffee Shop.
"Sis, you’re here, take a seat!" Li Jiayuan warmly greeted Xia Jing, who was still a bit unsure. Previously, she and Li Jiayuan were rivals in love, yet now they were peacefully sitting together, such a swift change!
"Jiayuan, what’s the good news that required me to come out to hear it?" Xia Jing asked with a smile.
Seeing Xia Jing smiling nonstop, Li Jiayuan couldn’t help but ask, "Sis, do you have good news too? You’ve been smiling all this time, why not share it with me?"
"Mine isn’t important, you go first!" Xia Jing declined, speaking to Li Jiayuan.
"Alright, I’ll start then. I’m holding my wedding with Xiao Wei next week!"
"Really! That’s wonderful! It’s about time you held the wedding, I’m so happy for you, I sincerely wish you a long and happy life together and hope you have children soon!" Hearing what Li Jiayuan said, Xia Jing was happy not only for Li Jiayuan but also for Xiao Wei. She said to Li Jiayuan, "You and Xiao Wei have been through as much together as Zhentian and I have, so I hope you both treasure each other!"
"Yes, indeed. My good news is out, now shouldn’t you share yours?" Li Jiayuan remembered the matter, afraid Xia Jing would forget to tell her, so she asked quickly.
Xia Jing softly said to Li Jiayuan, "I’m pregnant!"
"Really?"
"Yes, it’s confirmed!"
"Sis, congratulations! I was going to ask you for a big red envelope at my wedding, but now forget it!" Li Jiayuan suddenly lost her nerve.
"How could you say that? Of course, I’ll give you a red envelope!" Xia Jing didn’t understand why Li Jiayuan suddenly said no red envelope.
"Sis, think about it. At my wedding next week, you’ll give me a big red envelope, right?"
"Yes, but what’s the problem?"
"You give me a big red envelope, ten months later your son is born, wouldn’t that mean I have to give you an even bigger red envelope?" Li Jiayuan asked.
"Sounds like it makes sense!" Xia Jing nodded thoughtfully.
"So, you’d better not give me a red envelope, that way when your son is born, I won’t have to give a big one!" Li Jiayuan thought she was really clever, coming up with this idea, thinking Xia Jing would agree, but unexpectedly, Xia Jing not only disagreed but demanded more.
"No way, one thing is one thing. I must give you a wedding red envelope, and it’s a big one, then you’ll give my son an even bigger envelope, and when your son is born, I’ll give your son a super big one. How about that?" Xia Jing brainwashed Li Jiayuan further.
Li Jiayuan, this silly girl, agreed, thinking what Xia Jing said made sense and felt it was a good idea too.
"Great, let’s settle on that. Now, I’ll head back first. With the wedding coming up, Xiao Wei and I are swamped. We planned to ask for your help, but seeing this situation, forget about it, if your man finds out, I probably wouldn’t even know how I’d die!" Li Jiayuan said and left.
Seeing the time, Xia Jing thought it wasn’t early anymore and directly went back!
