Chapter 278: Chapter 271: The Stepmother is Really Rich

At that moment, she felt a slight squeeze on her wrist. Tang Yuxin had already grabbed her hand.

At first, she was quite serious. Her thick lashes slightly quivered and her small mouth was tightly pursed. As she frowned slightly and let go of Tang Yuxin’s hand, the corners of her lips lifted into a slight smile.

A surprise welled up in Ren Li’s heart.

Could it be true? Was she pregnant?

“Dad, I’m going to have a brother.” Tang Yuxin enthusiastically hugged Tang Zhinian’s arm.

“Pregnant?” Tang Zhinian was still in shock.

A son, was he really going to have a son? He was almost forty years old and never thought about having another child in his life. But now he was being told that he was actually going to have a child, wasn’t he?

He carefully placed his hand on Ren Li’s stomach. He still couldn’t feel his existence yet, but in a few months, yes, just a few more months, he would be able to see his little, tender son. His son.

He, Tang Zhinian, was going to have a legacy, and the Tang family was also going to continue their lineage.

Tang Zhinian’s eyes reddened, he was on the verge of tears.

Tang Zhijun was also unexpectedly emotional. He exchanged a look with Zhang Xiangcao, their hands tightly grasping each other’s.

This was good. Yes, it was good. The Tang Family finally had a future. They no longer had to bear the burden of the Tang Family not having a successor, because finally, they had an heir.

“So…” Ren Li announced, “This is the place.”

“Okay,” Tang Zhinian agreed. Whatever she said was fine, he even wouldn’t care if she burnt all this money. He was overjoyed now, and the only thing in his mind was his son. What status does money hold compared to his son?

“I agree,” said Tang Yuxin, she completely approved. This was much better than what she had thought.

Obtaining that plot of land was dependent on timing, otherwise others wouldn’t even consider giving it to them. They took advantage of the opportunity to demolish the old house, and this chance was rare, even if they didn’t want the money, they were determined to get the land.

The land, on the other hand, was quite easy to acquire once the paperwork was complete.

As long as they have enough funds, they were supporting the city’s development. Regardless of the circumstances, anyone would be willing to agree!

Tang Yuxin ignored these complications. The adults in the house were handling it, and as long as the paperwork was complete and as long as Ren Li’s 3 million was readily available, there wouldn’t be a problem.

However, she always felt that Ren Li was acting strange. She knew too much, including about the urban development of Qing’an. Who knew these things in advance, except for those like her, who had been reborn?

She still couldn’t figure it out.

But, undoubtedly, Ren Li had opened a window in her perception, and showed her a different world. It was something she never dared to even think about, like building a house.

They could actually build houses on their plot of land.

Before, she had suffered so much and experienced countless sleepless nights, all for a little overtime pay, all to repay the housing loan as soon as possible. She had never even dreamt that in the future they could build a multi-storybuilding, or even a skyscraper!

But now, gently stroking her hair, she twisted it around her fingers, she realized but there were still things she needed to figure out.

“Knock, knock…”

She knocked on the door.

“Come in,” came Ren Li’s lazy voice from inside. It seemed she had just woken up.

When Tang Yuxin entered, she saw Ren Li yawning, clearly she had just woken up.

“You’re here. What took you so long to come see your mom?” She patted her belly. “And your little brother. He’s been a very good boy recently, doesn’t cause a ruckus at all.”

“He’s still an embryo,” Tang Yuxin held back the urge to roll her eyes. She really felt that Ren Li’s IQ was leaning towards the negative side now.

Ren Li’s face glowed with motherly love, “I know, but he already has his own feelings. If mom’s not happy, he can definitely feel it.”

Tang Yuxin walked over, pulled up a chair, and sat down. She then took off her backpack, from which she pulled out a glass bottle. It was filled with small, candy-like objects.

“What’s this?” Ren Li immediately took the bottle and shook it in her hand.

“They’re for you, suitable for a high-age pregnant woman like you to eat, one a day.”

As soon as Tang Yuxin finished speaking, Ren Li opened the bottle and took out a pill to put in her mouth.

Tang Yuxin pursed her lips, “You just ate it without even asking about the medicinal effects. Aren’t you afraid that I might have put poison in it?”

“Would you?” Ren Li shook the bottle in her hand, she didn’t seem worried at all. Was her heart too big, or did she trust others too much?

“No,” Tang Yuxin glanced at Ren Li’s stomach, “I want to see my brother, there is enough medicine here to last until you give birth to him. Rest assured, I told you before, as long as you give birth to my brother, I will ensure your safety, as well as my brother’s safety.”

For the sake of her brother, she wouldn’t let anything happen to Ren Li. This medicine was from the Chen family’s old recipes. Chen Zhong had once given it to an older pregnant woman and ensured she gave birth to a healthy baby. However, the medicine was difficult to prepare. From the moment Ren Li married her father, Tang Yuxin had been preparing this medicine. Fortunately, her brother was on the way and the medicine was ready.

Ren Li opened the drawer and put the medicine inside. Be at ease, I will definitely give birth to your brother safely. The one thing Ren Li had always wanted in this life was a child. Regardless of whether Tang Yuxin assured her safety or not, even if she were in danger, she would give everything to give birth to that child.

Tang Yuxin remained seated, quietly staring at Ren Li.

Ren Li adjusted the blanket on the side slightly, getting a bit uncomfortable after a while.

“Alright, stop staring at me, it’s creepy. What do you want to ask?” She scratched her arm. She disliked this kind of silence the most, where nothing was said, and one was just glared at with dark, intimidating eyes, making your scalp tingle as goosebumps erupted all over.

“Okay,” Tang Yuxin replied. She had been waiting for her to say this.

“I want to know, do you know about the future development of Qing’an?”

She went straight to the point. She wanted to know if Ren Li was like her, a rebirth. But it didn’t seem like it, because the person she gave off didn’t seem to have the vicissitudes of a lifetime of grievances. However, it seemed that she knew too much.

Ren Li pulled the blanket over her stomach, afraid that her precious son would catch a cold. And Tang Yuxin really wanted to remind her, he’s just an embryo right now and he doesn’t understand anything.

But Tang Yuxin didn’t speak. She was waiting, waiting for Ren Li’s answer.
