Chapter 1296: Chapter 1289: The Birth of a Son (Part 2)
Gathered with everyone, they all wore wry smiles. Among these people, there wasn’t anyone experienced, even Su Yuya was like that, she had never given birth, so when it ca to having children, she was at a loss just like the rest.
Song Xiaoru said, “Auntie ans well, so let’s just let her be, anwhile we can have a professional maternity assistant nearby to help, that should make it a bit better.”
Miao Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue and said, “I’m just afraid that Li Sijie’s mother won’t let the maternity assistant help.”
“We can give it a try, we have to combine scientific thods with tradition, after all, conditions are different now. Many of the old ways weren’t actually good for new mothers.”
Song Xiaodong had only one sister, who had now beco his wife, so none of them had experience living with elders, especially when it ca to postpartum recovery. Using a maternity assistant should have been simple, and everyone could help, but as soon as Li Sijie’s mother arrived, things beca sowhat complicated.
Chapter 1290: Shock
There was no way around it, so they let the maternity assistant and Li Sijie’s parents look after Li Sijie and the baby together.
Just two days in, Xiao Yingying and Shui Qingyue ca looking for Song Xiaodong, visibly flustered.
“Honey, sothing bad happened! Sothing bad happened!” Xiao Yingying grabbed Song Xiaodong’s hand, looking troubled.
“What happened?” Song Xiaodong asked softly, “Whatever it is, I’ll take care of it for you.”
“It’s not , it’s Sister Sijie. Just now, Qingyue and I went to see the baby and forgot her mother was there. In our excitent, we said things like ‘our baby boy,’ and then her mother seed to get suspicious.”
Song Xiaodong wasn’t surprised, saying, “This can’t be kept a secret. When they lived here before, there wasn’t much contact with you. Now you’re always visiting the baby, you’re obviously going to give it away. I’ll go explain it to them directly.”
“Would it be inappropriate to tell them now?” Shui Qingyue asked worriedly.
Xiao Yingying agreed, “Now that there’s a child, it’s like having leverage; even if they disagree, they have to agree.”
Song Xiaodong burst into laughter, saying, “Yingying isn’t wrong; indeed, we need to take this chance to explain. Otherwise, if guests co later and find out then, it might be quite awkward.”
Just as Song Xiaodong was about to explain things, a family mber ca to inform him that the Patriarch of the Sun Family was visiting.
Song Xiaodong had to put that matter aside and go greet the Patriarch of the Sun Family.
The Patriarch of the Sun Family ca with a few people, including two female relatives.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Song Xiaodong, the two female relatives expressed a desire to see the child, so Song Xiaodong let Xiao Yingying take them over.
After only a few words with the Patriarch of the Sun Family, more guests arrived one after another, mostly from various prominent families, and they all brought their female relatives. Even Mayor Shen Dongyang and his wife Sun Dongxiang ca.
For such a joyous event as having a child, even if no formal celebrations were held, everyone still ca to offer congratulations.
They followed a similar pattern, with the n chatting with Song Xiaodong while the won went to see the baby.
Li Sijie’s parents were talking with her at the ti, and as Xiao Yingying ntioned, they were already suspicious of the won’s relationships with Song Xiaodong.
Li Sijie’s mother had a stern face, saying, “Sijie, what’s the deal with those won? Why are they freely coming over here, and why do they all claim your son as theirs, each saying they are the child’s mother?”
Li Sijie knew this couldn’t be hidden any longer. She gritted her teeth, thinking it was better to take this opportunity to explain things to her mother. Keeping it a secret wasn’t the solution, especially since she couldn’t monopolize the title of Song Xiaodong’s legitimate wife, otherwise how would the others fit in? Additionally, Song Xiaodong had an arranged marriage coming up with He Lingzhi, which was to be a grand affair.
“Mom, actually… they are all my sisters.”
“Sisters? What do you an?” Li Sijie’s mother frowned.
“I an… they’re like , Dongzi’s won.” Li Sijie felt unexpectedly relieved as she said this, not as terrified as she had imagined.
“What?” Li Sijie’s parents’ expressions turned very unpleasant, “Are you a mistress?”
“Mom, what are you saying? I’m not a mistress…”
“Right, not a mistress, maybe more like a secondary wife or concubine, probably ranks sowhere in the teens considering how many girls have co by recently, I’ve seen at least ten.”
Li Sijie hurriedly said, “You misunderstand, our relationship is equal, we’re all good sisters, there’s no hierarchy or sothing like a mistress among us.”
“Not a mistress, then what is this? So kind of polygamy from ancient tis? Look at those young girls, all in their twenties, at their best age, while you’re older and divorced, in such a family, what favor do you have? Aren’t you just waiting to be excluded? No way! I can’t let you jump into the fire like this!”
Li Sijie hurriedly said, “Mom, where is that happening? Didn’t you see they’re all very nice when they co over? Nobody is excluding .”
“Sijie, can you wake up a bit? Sure, Song Xiaodong is wealthy and influential, but would a man like that treat you well or care about you? Would others respect you?”
“He treats
really well and cares for ! Whenever he’s ho, he spends ti with . During childbirth, he was by my side, and even in these past few days, look at how many tis he’s co over. If he didn’t care, why would he co by?”
“In any case, it’s not okay, I refuse to let you step into a trap.”
The mother and daughter were locked in a standoff, and Li Sijie’s father stood at the side, unsure of what to say. As a father, he certainly didn’t want his daughter to be with such a womanizer, but he also felt that Song Xiaodong seed like a decent person, not displaying the arrogance of wealth, and he did seem quite attentive to his daughter.
“Sister Sijie, the Sun family people are here to see you.” Xiao Yingying just happened to bring the Sun family mbers over then.
Li Sijie quickly shot her mother a look before speaking with the guests.
Li Sijie’s father quickly pulled his wife aside, whispering, “This is our family’s private matter, let’s not lose face in front of guests.”
“Harumph!” Li Sijie’s mother, still fuming, sat aside with a harrumph.
“Sijie, you’ve given the Song family patriarch his first son, that’s a major achievent.”
“Indeed, now that the Song patriarch has an heir, it’s worth celebrating. Since there’s a baby boy, instead of jewellry or such, our patriarch transferred 30% of our company’s shares to your son’s na.”
“Ah, that’s too valuable,” Li Sijie hastily replied courteously.
The Sun family’s female imdiately said, “What’s there to value? Our Sun and Li families are like branches of the sa tree; this small gift is nothing we can’t afford.”
Xiao Yingying didn’t hold back, glancing over the gift, “Wow, a large company with a market value of five billion. Thirty percent ans one and a half billion, our son just born is already a billionaire.”
“It’s just a small token, sothing insignificant to the Su family’s eldest son, right?”
“One and a half billion…” Li Sijie’s parents were dumbfounded.
Even if they knew Song Xiaodong was wealthy, they didn’t have any concrete idea, but the number one and a half billion struck them directly, leaving them stunned.
