Although Zhong Xiaoqin looks down on this kind of thing, she can still choose to help Gu Jia when she needs it.
When in doubt, consult Chen Yu!
"Brother Xiaoyu, Gu Jia wants to buy a very high-end bag. Do you have any connections?" Since she had already been paid in advance, Zhong Xiaoqin felt no pressure to ask Chen Yu for help.
Chen Yu asked curiously, "A bag? What kind of bag? A bag that can cure all diseases?"
Zhong Xiaoqin understood the joke. In the past, when Zhong Xiaoqin was unhappy, Chen Yu had bought her a bag, saying that a bag could cure all ills. Although Zhong Xiaoqin didn't particularly like the bag, Chen Yu had made her laugh. From then on, they often teased each other by saying that a bag could cure all ills.
"Oh, Brother Xiaoyu, it's Gu Gu. She's having a ladies' gathering... blah blah blah... so, Brother Xiaoyu, can you help her buy it?" Zhong Xiaoqin explained to Chen Yu again.
"I understand. She wants a stepping stone. Xiaoqin, could you remind Gu Jia for me to think carefully about what she specifically wants? Is it really to gain information from that circle of wealthy wives, to make deals, or does she just want to become one of those rich wives?"
If she's made up her mind and still wants to buy, then call Wenwen. I remember one of the investments she manages is a luxury goods sales company, I think it's an agent for a brand called Lada, but I can't remember exactly. You can ask her.” After several years of experience, Wang Wenwen has become a qualified general manager of an investment company.
"Okay, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaoqin thought for a moment and then asked Gu Jia the question Chen Yu had just raised. Gu Jia was also taken aback and replied, "Of course it's for the company. Xiaoqin, you know me. Only when the company has a better future can we have a better life."
Zhong Xiaoqin didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Jia.
Then they called Wang Wenwen again. Wang Wenwen asked where the two of them were and then said that someone would come over to explain the styles and help them choose.
Less than twenty minutes later, Gu Jia heard a knock on the door. She asked Sister Chen to open it, and a woman dressed as a saleswoman entered. With heavy makeup, even Gu Jia couldn't tell her age.
"Hello, I am Wen Qian, the store manager of Aila. Are you Ms. Gu Jia and Ms. Zhong Xiaoqin?"
"I am Gu Jia, and this is Zhong Xiaoqin."
"Okay, Ms. Gu, I've been asked by Manager Wang to help you two select some items. These are some of our newest styles, which are quite difficult to buy without a reservation. You can take a look first." Store Manager Wen Qian took out a tablet and showed some photos to Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin.
Gu Jia looked at the tablet's description and saw some non-sale items displayed in other stores' cabinets. Gu Jia wasn't very knowledgeable about luxury goods, so she took the opportunity to ask the store manager for an explanation of the rules.
With Zhong Xiaoqin's advice, Gu Jia spent a long time choosing a bag, finally settling on one priced at 189,000 yuan. Wen Qian advised her to spend an extra 30,000 yuan on a limited edition, as it would have more collectible value and be more talked about among friends, but it would take two days to arrive. Gu Jia readily agreed, taking out her card to pay, only to discover when she went to pay that due to the cancellation of company orders a few months prior and the delay in final payments, the company was facing a cash crunch, and she was short several thousand yuan in her card.
Zhong Xiaoqin took out her card, intending to help Gu Jia ease the awkward situation, but in reality, Gu Jia was even more embarrassed. However, Zhong Xiaoqin meant well, and Gu Jia couldn't say anything, so she could only return the money to Zhong Xiaoqin as soon as she had it.
After Zhong Xiaoqin left, Gu Jia began to calculate the family's cash. Because the order for Mrs. Yu's amusement park hadn't even started yet, although a small deposit had been paid, it was far too little. She still hadn't repaid the money she owed Chen Yu, and the borrowed money was all tied up in the company. Therefore, Gu Jia felt that repaying Zhong Xiaoqin would take far too long. She looked through the jewelry at home, selected a bracelet that the salesperson had said was a limited edition, took it to a secondhand jewelry store, sold it, and used the money to repay Zhong Xiaoqin.
Two days later, Gu Jia finally received the expensive bag she had been hoping for. Coincidentally, there was an event for the wives' circle coming up, so Gu Jia went to the event with her new battle gear – a bag worth a car.
The effect was obvious; Gu Jia finally gained some attention in the wives' circle, with everyone asking her how she managed to snag this limited edition item.
After the wives finished discussing Gu Jia's bag, they noticed Mrs. Yu's limited edition bracelet. It's unclear how much they know, but they can tell a bag's brand and series just by looking at it, and even whether it's a limited edition. They seem like a group of experts!
Gu Jia also noticed the key point: the bracelet on Mrs. Yu's wrist was a second-hand piece of jewelry that she had just sold. There were still some marks on it. Others might not recognize it, but Gu Jia could tell at a glance that it was indeed something she had just sold! Considering Mrs. Yu's background and taking another look at the bracelet, Gu Jia seemed to understand.
There was no point in confronting Mrs. Yu; it would be better to pretend I didn't know for now.
Zhong Xiaoqin didn't care much about any of that; she only cared about the time, because her period was coming soon, and she would soon be able to escape Chen Yu's clutches.
But after waiting for two days, her period still hadn't arrived, and Zhong Xiaoqin was getting impatient. Just as Zhong Xiaoqin was about to see Chen Yu pull her to the bedroom, she thought of Wang Wenwen. Then, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly realized a possibility, immediately shook off Chen Yu's hand, said she was going downstairs to buy something, and went downstairs.
Chen Yu, feeling uneasy, followed her downstairs. Zhong Xiaoqin saw pregnancy test strips at a 24-hour vending machine and bought two. They went back and tried them. Zhong Xiaoqin was overjoyed to find two lines, and she almost jumped for joy! Luckily, Chen Yu held her down and warned her that being pregnant meant she had to be quiet and not jump around.
Although Chen Yu's memory of the events in the drama is hazy, he still remembers that the fetus stopped moving after Zhong Xiaoqin became pregnant. In the drama, Chen Yangyu was also looking forward to the birth of his child, but in order to create conflict, the screenwriter wrote that the child died! The screenwriter should take full responsibility!
Now that Zhong Xiaoqin is pregnant, it's essential to take precautions against any unforeseen circumstances.
"Xiaoqin, now that you're pregnant, you can leave the company's affairs to the deputy director. You can stay home and prepare for childbirth. Or you could let Wenwen come home so you can keep each other company!"
Zhong Xiaoqin did miss Wang Wenwen, but since Wang Wenwen was pregnant and could stay in the villa for so long, Zhong Xiaoqin wanted to go too!
"No need, I'll go to the villa tomorrow to see Mom and Wenwen. Wenwen said Mom was a bit bored there, so Wenwen kept Mom company and chatted with her until the end of the day!"
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Yu understood what Zhong Xiaoqin meant. "Okay, I'll go with you."
…………
The next day.
At Sun Suying's villa.
"Xiaoqin is pregnant too?" Sun Suying was overjoyed!
"Yes, she went to the hospital for a check-up this morning. The doctor said that Xiaoqin has a weak constitution and needs to be careful to prevent miscarriage." Chen Yu was still a little worried and specifically told Sun Suying to keep a close eye on her.
Wang Wenwen was also very happy. "Xiaoqin, do you think that since we're both pregnant, it might really be related to the cats and dogs?"
"Although I've never heard of such a thing before, now that the facts are out in front of me, it's impossible not to believe it. But I guess it's probably just that Xiaoyu is allergic, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? What do you think?"
Wang Wenwen wholeheartedly agreed, "That can only be the reason, otherwise how could it have happened so quickly?"
