Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Arriving at Li City

Gu Hongwei perked up his ears, obviously curious about Guo Jinnian’s situation. Tong Yao suppressed a smile and said, "Jinnian said she has no intentions of getting married right now, she’s very career-oriented. I think you two are birds of the same feather. You should be more mindful, don’t miss out on someone you shouldn’t, else you’ll regret it your whole life."

In her previous life, Gu Hongwei achieved fame and success, but he never married. Tong Yao was worried it was because he missed Guo Jinnian. After all, it seemed Gu Hongwei had feelings for Guo Jinnian, as evidenced by his visit to E Country to see her.

Gu Hongwei kept silent, plunged into contemplation, seemingly wrestling with something internally.

At two in the morning, the car finally arrived at the hospital. Gu Hongwei parked the car and helped Tong Yao, who was heavily pregnant, out of the vehicle. Even though Tong Yao was in good health, sitting in a car for such a long time was not easy for her.

They located the duty nurse and inquired about Si Boyi’s condition. They were informed that his surgery was successful and he was currently in the Intensive Care Unit. Tong Yao sighed in relief, considering this to be good news.

"Excuse me, where is his family right now?"

The duty nurse said, "They’re in Room 202 on the second floor. After his condition stabilizes tomorrow morning, he will be transferred there. If you want to go up and meet them, please be quiet to avoid disturbing the other patients. We assigned them that room because his wife is several months pregnant."

Tong Yao nodded, "Thank you."

Seeing that Tong Yao was also pregnant, the duty nurse said, "You both should hurry up! There are several hours to go before morning. You can rest the for the time being. Room 202 is a double room but nobody is occupying the other bed yet."

Tong Yao thanked her again. She and Gu Hongwei made their way to Room 202. The room was still lit. Tong Yao softly knocked on the door, and shortly after, someone opened it from inside.

The door was opened by Chen Jinlan. She was actually in deep sleep and at first thought she was dreaming seeing Tong Yao and Gu Hongwei at the door. Rubbing her eyes to confirm, there really stood Tong Yao. She let out a surprised "Oh" sound.

Tong Yao quickly signaled her to be quiet, "Auntie, keep your voice down. We’re in a hospital."

Chen Jinlan, having grasped the situation, quickly nodded, "Come in and let’s talk."

"Mom, who’s knocking..." Zhang Lijuan was startled to see Tong Yao and Gu Hongwei, "Yaoyao, Hongwei, why did you come?"

When Gu Hongwei’s father passed away, Tong Yao had come. Seeing Tong Yao’s large belly, Zhang Lijuan had an odd expression. Could Tong Yao really be involved with Gu Hongwei?

As soon as that thought crossed her mind, she mentally scolded herself for having such ridiculous ideas. After all, Tong Yao had once said she had nothing to do with Gu Hongwei.

Tong Yao looked at Zhang Lijuan whose eyes were still swollen, guessing that she had been crying. She sat by the bed and reassured her quietly, "I just asked the nurse on duty downstairs, and she said that Boyi is basically stable now and will be all right. So don’t worry too much."

Mentioning Si Boyi almost made Zhang Lijuan cry again. She choked back her tears and thanked Tong Yao, "Yaoyao, thank you for sending money for Boyi’s medical expenses. It’s because of you that Boyi is alive."

Chen Jinlan also nodded, "Yes, we’re so lucky to have you. Without you, we really wouldn’t know what to do."

They were farmers and couldn’t muster up such a large sum of money all at once.

Tong Yao, managing to help pay for Boyi’s treatment even after divorcing from Si Chen, was something they didn’t expect. It must be said, Tong Yao was a very caring and righteous person. Losing a daughter-in-law like her was a loss for the Si family.

Lin Fengying forced Tong Yao out, and she would be ashamed to face the ancestors of the Si family after she dies.

Tong Yao said, "Stop saying such things. What exactly happened? How did Boyi get stabbed?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lijuan recalled the disturbing event, "We were selling milk tea at our street stall. We were initially doing good business, then someone got jealous and stopped us from setting up our stall there. We thought it would be better not to make a fuss and just move to another location. But then that same person found us again and didn’t let us set up our stall. Boyi argued with him, and he left. But then he came back with a knife, and Boyi got stabbed when he was caught off guard."

"We have already reported to the police, but they haven’t caught him yet."

Tong Yao frowned, "Does he have a grudge against you?"

Even after shifting locations, he did not let them set up their stall. It was not as simple as just being jealous of their business.

Zhang Lijuan shook her head, "We don’t know that man at all, we don’t know why he has targeted us."

Gu Hongwei, who had been silent so far, said, "I also think it isn’t as simple as him suddenly being jealous of your business. Think carefully, have you had any minor clashes with anyone?"

Zhang Lijuan thought for a moment, but still shook her head, "No, we really haven’t."

However, Chen Jinlan seemed a bit restless. She had had disputes with others, but it wasn’t at the stall, so it shouldn’t have affected her son-in-law.

Thinking about this, Chen Jinlan looked curiously at Tong Yao and Gu Hongwei, "Why did you two come back together?"

As soon as she asked that, she realized the question seemed a bit inappropriate. Just as she was about to change the subject, she heard Tong Yao say, "It’s about Tomb-Sweeping Festival and Hongwei was planning to come back at dawn. Coincidentally, we heard about Boyi’s accident, so we came back together."

Chen Jinlan nodded, looked at Tong Yao’s protruding belly, she finally asked the question that had been on her mind "Yaoyao, you’re quite far along, aren’t you? Are you close to giving birth?"

Since Tong Yao was carrying twins, her belly was unusually big, making her look almost full-term.

In a crisp voice Tong Yao replied, "Next month. I am carrying twins, so my belly is larger than normal."

"Twins?" Chen Jinlan seemed to light up at hearing this, "You’re really blessed! Who’s the father of the children?"

She stole a glance at Gu Hongwei, wondering if he was the father.

Gu Hongwei turned awkward under her gaze, but since he didn’t know if Tong Yao had told Zhang Lijuan that she hadn’t divorced Si Chen, he couldn’t jump into the conversation.

Tong Yao noticed Chen Jinlan’s suspicions and straightforwardly said, "The children are Ahchen’s."

With the babies about to be born, Tong Yao was no longer apprehensive about Lin Fengying making trouble. Given Lin Fengying’s current situation, she certainly couldn’t cause any trouble.

"Bro’s child?"

"Si Chen’s child?"

Zhang Lijuan and Chen Jinlan spoke out in surprise at the same time. They were shocked. Didn’t Tong Yao and Si Chen divorce a long time ago?

Moreover, Si Chen had gone abroad early on!

They were oceans apart, how did Tong Yao get pregnant?
