Chapter 1508 - 1520: Where Did the CEO Daddy Run Off To? (11)
Typically, once a woman gets married and reaches a certain age, who wouldn’t want a cute little baby?
But it’s so hard to conceive.
Except for Noble Families, these wealthy households, they might be thinking about passing on their lineage, so they want children.
For other ordinary families, part of what attracts them to having children is the substantial reward for giving birth.
Some people have calculated that if you have enough children, a family could get rich just from this.
But alas, the genes aren’t quite up to the task.
Just hearing that someone could give birth to quintuplets makes you think they’re a Heavenly Person.
At first, they thought it was just a rare case, but then found out someone nearby had the same situation.
As soon as that woman spoke up, she immediately piqued the interest of the others around her, even prompting Bai Tuanzi, who was mumbling, to set their things aside.
Those sitting closer leaned in, even passersby who heard this came over, wanting to listen.
Su Li stood there with the crowd, completely inconspicuous, just like many others around her.
The woman being treated as the center of attention grew even more eager to talk.
Although she only heard a few vague mentions from her family, what she knew was enough for her to talk about.
"A distant cousin of mine married into a wealthy business family. The family has money, but despite trying for many years, they couldn’t have a child. They thought if they kept trying, perhaps she’d get pregnant, but my cousin’s husband was unlucky, suddenly fell ill, and died."
"Thinking there was no one to inherit the family fortune, my cousin lost her head and actually ran an ad in the newspaper offering a hefty sum for a child."
"As for what happened afterward, I’m not too sure, but anyway, I heard she got pregnant and gave birth to triplets."
"The most amazing thing is, her in-laws didn’t mind and are said to be very fond of the triplets."
Su Li: "....."
This was just the kind of project she once worked on, the more she listened, the more familiar it sounded.
The crowd in front of the café grew bigger and the conversation veered off topic.
"Hearing you talk about multiple births, it reminded me of something," said a girl standing outside the café with shopping bags, who couldn’t resist joining the conversation.
"It’s a relative from my sister-in-law’s husband’s family. She’s almost forty, doesn’t want to get married, and doesn’t want to be forced into a match. So she just thought about finding someone to have a child with. But having a child is so difficult, yet she managed it. She didn’t go out much, yet somehow got pregnant. And even more amazingly, she had a set of dragon and phoenix twins. That relative was overjoyed. I even saw them at the kids’ birthday, they were so adorable, looked a bit like the Bai Tuanzi, and were about the same age, both were chubby-cheeked children."
"Ah, such a coincidence? I heard my distant cousin’s kids also look a bit like Bai Tuanzi. My cousin even bragged about it."
"Haha, did they develop some secret method for having babies? Twins, triplets, quintuplets, they’re all popping up...."
"Hey, now that you mention it, it sounds promising. Later I’ll make a call to see if they’ve developed some kind of medicine." said a woman with family connections, full of hope.
Listening to this, Su Li couldn’t help but show a sweet little auntie smile.
Oh dear, she would soon ask her in-laws for benefits, letting them nag her daily for not having children.
She can’t and won’t have any. But she created so many descendants for the Mu Family, fulfilling their dreams of carrying on the family line.
Isn’t she amazing?
In the past life, after Mu Zhuoming completely annexed the Su Family, when faced with the original owner’s accusation, he simply said lightly, "The Su Family has only two children, you can’t have children, and your brother doesn’t seem to have any heirs yet. Such a big family business of the Su Family, without an heir, will eventually be taken back by the authorities after you’re gone. It’s better to merge with the Mu Family now, that way your parents’ efforts won’t be wasted. I have five children, later on, these kids will call you aunt, you haven’t lost out by giving them the family business."
Look at that, are these even human words?
But Su Li always considered herself a good girl who repays evil with good, so she didn’t want revenge at all, and instead selflessly helped Mu Zhuoming fulfill his wish.
Since he loves children so much, having many children and a full house is her most unpretentious blessing for him.
Su Li counted with her fingers and found that Mu Zhuoming’s children couldn’t even fit on both hands.
He absolutely could be the most envied man in the history of Hua Country, without a doubt.
----------
Mu Family
Mu Jiebang and Liao Jinxiang sat with glasses on, seriously guarding the TV, watching every episode of the reality show replay with unwavering attention.
As the ending song echoed in their ears, they looked at each other, silent for a long time.
After a moment of silence, both stood up suddenly, their expressions slowly turned into excitement and joy.
Liao Jinxiang got up and dialed her cousin’s phone, while Mu Jiebang solemnly held his phone and called Mu Zhuoming.
"Sis, doesn’t your daughter work at the TV station? Can you help find out the address and contact information for the Bai Tuanzi kids?"
"Yes, yes, yes, those kids look almost identical to Zhuoming when he was young. Just seeing them, I knew they must be of the Mu Family."
Liao Jinxiang excitedly pulled out pictures of Mu Zhuoming as a child.
The little boy in the yellowed photo indeed looked about seventy to eighty percent similar to the Bai Tuanzi kids on TV, especially the three little boys, almost replicas of Mu Zhuoming as a child.
Liao Jinxiang: "Thank you, once the kids are brought back, I’ll properly thank you. Ah, you ask about Su Li? With Zhuoming around, she won’t dare say anything. It’s her fault for not being able to have children."
Both from the Mu family put the phone down, feeling happiness mixed with regret.
They blamed themselves for not watching TV, actually learning about the reality show only after it ended, and even then having to be reminded.
Thinking about those Bai Tuanzi kids already five years old and lost outside for so many years... Liao Jinxiang felt deeply distressed.
Mu Zhuoming still didn’t know he was suddenly a father, only feeling a bit puzzled by his father’s firm tone in his call.
The other side specifically pointed out that he should bring Su Li back home because there was something important.
If this call was from his mother, Mu Zhuoming would have definitely ignored it.
But it was from his father....
Mu Zhuoming lightly tapped his long fingers on the solid wood table, pondering for a while, before deciding he’d better make the trip.
On the way, he stopped by the Su Family to pick up Su Li.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mu Zhuoming sneered, sarcastically saying, "I just didn’t expect picking up my wife from the Yue family to go so smoothly today."
Mu Zhuoming spitefully lashed out at Su Li, clearly harboring a full load of resentful energy towards her and the Su Family.
