Chapter 4 I'm Pregnant

The man inserted the incense sticks into the ash burner, his eyelids slightly lowered, as he looked at Bo Xingzhi's portrait.

His clear, black-and-white eyes were calm and serene, showing no sadness or other emotions.

Bo Hanshan looked shocked when he saw the man. "You're Rong Zhi?"

Bo Yuheng also looked surprised. "You're still alive?"

The man ignored them, turned around, faced Sang Yuwan directly, and slowly spoke.

"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences."

The deep male voice seemed to drift from the night, carrying the frost and snow of midwinter.

Sang Yuwan's pupils contracted sharply, and her expression froze instantly as she looked at him.

He was indeed a man of questionable character.

"Sister-in-law, take care."

The man spoke again, his voice cold and sharp, devoid of any warmth.

Sang Yuwan felt a stab to her heart and hastily regained her senses. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she slightly raised her eyes. Meeting those deep, silent black eyes, she took a breath and spoke softly.

"Thank you for coming to see me off on my final journey. May I ask your name?"

The man lowered his eyelids slightly, and a faint, imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his cold lips.

A faint, sarcastic laugh, seemingly tinged with provocation.

Sang Yuwan's pretty face showed a hint of anger, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes became even brighter.

Xian Si leaned closer to her and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Madam, I just received news. This is Mr. Bo's adopted son, Bo Rongzhi. It is said that he died in a car accident six years ago. I don't know why he came back to life."

Sang Yuwan was taken aback at first, then her eyes trembled violently, and a bleak, cold smile appeared on her lips.

Bo Rongzhi.

Bo Xingzhi's nominal younger brother.

That title of "elder sister-in-law" is truly fitting.

He disappeared for six years, and his reappearance at this time suggests that he, like the second and third wives, is aiming for the position of head of the Bo family.

Sang Yuwan tightened her grip on her fingers, her gaze growing colder with each passing moment.

Rong Zhi's gaze swept past her and landed on Bo Yuheng and Bo Hanshan's faces. "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, it's been a long time."

Bo Hanshan's face was deathly pale, and his throat felt like it was blocked by something, so he couldn't say a word.

Bo Yuheng's expression changed slightly. After a few seconds of silence, he said coldly, "Rong Zhi, you've come back just in time. Your elder brother passed away suddenly and had no children. The Bo family still needs you to take charge."

Bo Hanshan was shocked and his eyes widened. "Second brother, he's not even eldest brother's biological son, so why?!"

Bo Yuheng glanced at him sideways, a cunning glint in his eyes, "Although Rong Zhi is not my elder brother's biological son, he has entered the Bo family ancestral hall and been offered incense. He is a member of our Bo family."

Bo Hanshan gritted his teeth, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.

Sang Yuwan suppressed her emotions and looked at Rong Zhi, her deep, dark eyes flashing with a dark light.

interesting.

Bo Yuheng actually wants to put someone with no blood relation to him in a high position.

Rong Zhi's cold lips curled up slightly. "Second Uncle wants me to take over the Bo family."

Bo Yuheng's expression was somewhat subtle. "You are Xingzhi's younger brother and the only male heir of the eldest branch of the family. It is only natural that you should succeed him as the head of the family."

A faint, sharp glint appeared between Rong Zhi's brows. "Second Uncle, are you truly sincere?"

Bo Yuheng said, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Bo Hanshan's face contorted with rage. "Second brother, how could you give up the position of family head to him? If you don't want it, you can give it to me. I am your own brother."

Bo Yuheng turned his head, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at him. "I have my reasons. Shut up."

Bo Hanshan's chest heaved violently, and his teeth clenched so tightly they clicked.

Rong Zhi suddenly turned around, his deep eyes filled with a thin layer of cold mist.

"What do you uncles think?"

The elders exchanged glances, indicating that they had no objection to it.

Rong Zhi turned to the side, his deep eyes meeting Sang Yuwan's gaze, his dark eyes revealing no emotion.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any objections?"

The temperature in the mourning hall dropped several degrees, and the cold wind rustled the white funeral wreaths.

A chill rose from the soles of her feet, reaching the top of Sang Yuwan's head. She took two deep breaths, her eyes as cold as the moon, exuding an unassailable majesty.

“Both my great-uncle and my second uncle have no objections, so I should support them. But…”

She paused slightly, then said calmly.

"I am pregnant."

Her clear, resonant voice was like a thunderclap exploding in the mourning hall.

Everyone stared at her with wide eyes, their faces showing disbelief.

Bo Hanshan was utterly astonished.

Bo Yuheng was taken aback, his eyes surging with shock. "Niece-in-law, you can't just talk about having children."

Sang Yuwan's eyes remained calm and unwavering, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Second Uncle, a pregnancy lasts ten months, and the baby is born when it's ripe. Can such a thing be fabricated so easily?"

Upon hearing this, Bo Yuheng's eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion and coldness. "Since you were pregnant, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Sang Yuwan spoke calmly and firmly, "According to Jiangcheng custom, a fetus should not be announced to the public before it is three months pregnant. This is Xingzhi's only child, so I must be careful, extremely careful, no matter what."

Bo Yuheng was speechless, his face turning ashen.

Seeing this, the elders began to speak one after another.

“Since my nephew’s wife is pregnant, there’s no need to hand over the seal of the head of this family.”

"Before the child reaches adulthood, everything will be managed by my nephew's wife. After the child reaches adulthood, it will be handed over to him."

"According to the Bo family rules, this is the proper way."

Bo Hanshan was so angry he almost vomited blood. "How could the Bo family be handed over to a woman? Besides, it's not even certain whether she's really pregnant!"

Sang Yuwan smiled gently, her expression calm and composed. "Xian Si."

“Yes, Madam.” Xiansi stepped forward and handed her a file folder.

Sang Yuwan took it and held it high. Then, her pretty face tightened slightly, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. "This is my pregnancy test report. If you don't believe me, you can check it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Hanshan immediately reached out his hand.

Rong Zhi took the file bag from Sang Yuwan's hand before he could.

“Madam.” Xian Si looked nervous.

Sang Yuwan appeared calm, but her heart was in turmoil.

She had someone arrange for this report to be prepared by Xiansi. Aside from personal information, everything else in it was fake.

In order to keep her promise to Bo Yuanshan, she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Only children can save the main house.

If Rong Zhi exposes her on the spot, then she won't be considered to have broken her vow from that day.

Conversely, it becomes somewhat tricky.

Everyone held their breath, watching quietly as Rong Zhi opened the file bag and took out the report inside.

Bo Hanshan tried to go over for a look, but a man in black stopped him.

Rong Zhi frowned slightly, his dark eyes suddenly darkening.

It's all written in black and white, clear and unambiguous.

Sang Yuwan is indeed pregnant.

Four weeks pregnant.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile. The smile, however, didn't reach his eyes.

He knew better than anyone whether she was pregnant or not.

Seven days ago, the Grand Hotel experienced a dramatic turn of events.

She was clearly a delicate rosebud yet to bloom.

Rong Zhi looked at Sang Yuwan, his expression unchanged, "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant, it's not good for you to stand for long. Please sit down."

This single sentence directly confirms the authenticity of the report.

A slight ripple appeared on Sang Yuwan's usually calm expression, but it quickly returned to stillness.

She was about to sit down.

Bo Hanshan suddenly said angrily, "Who knows if this thing is real or fake?"
