Chapter 489 News Has Arrived Regarding Xie Mingzhu's Child

After going around in circles, in the end, it wasn't Shuying who was in a difficult position, but rather himself.

Thinking about this, Du Zhiwei felt like she had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

She rubbed her hair vigorously in frustration.

It's all Xie Zhiyan's fault! It's all because of him that she viewed Shu Ying with prejudice!

She shouldn't have been so fixated on Xie Zhiyan in the first place, unable to let go of him, otherwise...

Thinking of this, Du Zhiwei felt an inescapable frustration in her chest. She scratched her head a couple of times, but it didn't relieve her anger. She then picked up the enamel teacup on the table, stomped her leather shoes over to the thermos, poured herself a cup of water, and then gulped down three cups in one go.

Only when her stomach was so full that she felt like she would vomit if she drank any more did Du Zhiwei stop herself. With a cold face, she rushed back to her workstation, sat down expressionlessly, and began to work.

Zhou Weizhou, standing to the side: ?

What's gotten into this girl this time?

After the check-up, as we were preparing to leave the hospital, the elders from both sides had already started talking about how to take good care of Shuying in the last two months, and then about what to prepare for the three babies who were about to be born.

Xie Wenyuan brought a notebook and pen with him, so the four parents simply had three of them talk and one write, and they managed to write down a whole page and a half of the essentials in the hospital corridor.

Shu Ying was completely stunned.

The four parents, however, still felt it wasn't enough, and took turns adding even more.

Shu Ying looked at them with amusement.

"Mom and Dad, we can buy these things after the baby is born, there's no need to buy them now..."

Before Shu Ying could finish speaking, the four elders all turned to look at her, each of them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"How can that be? You're having three at once. What if the babies are born and you haven't prepared anything? Buying things on the spot would be such a hassle and cause a lot of chaos!"

"You can't fight a battle unprepared. You have to buy it in advance so you can feel at ease. If you need anything, you can just take it from home!"

Xie Wenyuan said that Shu Wenyuan, Yang Wan, and Huang Meiling stood by and echoed him earnestly.

"That's right!"

Shu Ying was both amused and exasperated, and tried to persuade her again.

"But there are still two months left, isn't that too early..."

"Not too early! If we buy everything we can think of now, we can add anything else later if we think of it later."

"If you wait until the last minute to buy, there will definitely be things you haven't thought through."

"This is your second pregnancy, and you'll have three children in total. You have to think things through carefully, otherwise it'll be too much trouble!"

Shu Wenyuan failed to persuade Shu Ying, but he persuaded himself first.

He slapped his forehead: "No, some things have to be bought today, like the crib and such. We have to buy the best for the child, the solid wood kind!"

"After we get back, we have to air it out in the yard to let the smell dissipate, otherwise the kids won't feel comfortable sleeping on it."

"Oh dear, why didn't I think of this sooner? I don't even know if it'll be too late to buy it now... No, we have to go see it today and buy it today!"

"Yes, yes, let's go buy it right away!"

The four parents rushed out, but halfway there they thought of Shuying and turned back to look at her.

"Can the two of you go back by yourselves?"

Shu Ying looked at them with amusement.

“Mom and Dad, I can go home by myself, not to mention my sister is with me.”

Huang Meiling also said, "Mingzhu is always reliable in her work, so we can rest assured."

The four parents were relieved, said goodbye to Shuying, and hurriedly went to buy things, leaving the hospital like a gust of wind.

Only Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu remained, staring at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This scene looks like a war is about to break out.

Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu were no longer in a hurry, and slowly walked out hand in hand.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the two decided to soak up some sun and breathe in some fresh air.

However, as soon as I stepped out of the hospital and reached the gate of the family compound, I looked up and unexpectedly met the eyes of an old man.

The old man was talking about something when he saw them and hurried over from the entrance of the residential compound. His steps were unusually rapid, and he was sweating profusely.

"Excuse me, ladies, do you know where the military region's kindergarten is?"

Shu Ying frowned, warily refraining from answering, and instead asked first—

"And you are?"

Just as the old man was about to open his mouth to explain, two soldiers dressed as guards came up behind him, panting as they helped him up.

"Take it easy, don't rush, you need to take care of your health..."

The old man waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly healthy, and my health isn't important right now!"

Shu Ying glanced at the two guards behind the old man, wondering who they were, when the guard who had just finished a phone call in the guard post turned around, saw Xie Mingzhu, and quickly ran over.

"Comrade Xie Mingzhu, the police just called to say that there's been news about the matter you've been concerned about, and they want you to come over as soon as possible."

Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu were both taken aback, and in that instant of eye contact, they both had a vague premonition.

Shu Ying couldn't help but feel happy for Xie Mingzhu and quickly nudged her.

"It must be good news, sister, go check it out!"

Xie Mingzhu was so happy she didn't know what to do. She nodded, hurriedly took a step to leave, but after a few steps she turned back.

"No, Yingying, you're all alone..."

Shu Ying quickly waved to her.

"Don't worry about me, we're already at the gate of the compound, what could possibly happen to me?"

"Your matter is more important. Go quickly and see if there's any news about my nephew!"

Xie Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, told Shu Ying to be careful, and hurried to the police station.

Shu Ying watched Xie Mingzhu's retreating figure, then turned her gaze to the old man in front of her.

"you……"

Just as she was about to ask, she saw the old man turn his head, looking impatient and pale.

"No...no need, the guard has finished his call, I'll just ask him..."

The old man swallowed hard as he watched Xie Mingzhu leave, then quickly approached the guard at the gate, asked for directions to the military kindergarten, and rushed inside.

Shu Ying: ?

What a strange old man.
