The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

October 2030, 10 Lunar September 27 Saturday Sunny

A month ago, Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi returned to the Xia family in Vancouver to spend the National Day holiday. They stayed there for a month. Because there was a lot of work piled up that Xia Haoyang had to handle personally, he planned to take a private plane from Vancouver to Yancheng today.

"Mom, sister-in-law, you don't have to see me off. We will try to come back earlier to celebrate the New Year this year." Zeng Jingyi said goodbye to her family while standing at the gate of her Vancouver mansion.

Xia Haoyang stood aside holding the child, while his second brother Xia Haoqi drove the car waiting for the two of them. He would take them to the airport to board Xia’s private plane.

"Actually, you can leave Nannan at home and let me take care of her. You are all busy with work in Yancheng, so how can you have time to take care of a child? Besides, we have babies Yuanxue and Yuanxiu at home who can play with Nannan." Mother Xia kept looking at the baby in Xia Haoyang's arms, and she was quite reluctant to let go.

"Mom, we should take care of her ourselves. Actually, we are not very busy right now." Xia Haoyang explained.

"Okay, okay, then you guys should be careful and don't work too hard. You can't make enough money. You should take good care of Nannan."

"I got it, Mom. The sun is shining. You and sister-in-law can go into the house. My second brother will take us to the airport, so it will be quick." Zeng Jingyi waved to the two of them.

"Well, have a safe trip, get in the car, go ahead." Mother Xia also waved her hand.

"Mom, sister-in-law, take care. We are leaving." Xia Haoyang waved to the two of them from the window, holding the little girl in his arms.

When the car was out of sight, the sister-in-law helped Mother Xia walk back.

"Mom, didn't you tell Jingyi about that?" Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou smiled.

"Hey, what's there to say?" Mother Xia waved her hand.

"Then why are you telling me and Nana about this? Is this a matter of one side or the other?"

"Well, it's still different. You and Nana both gave birth to boys as your first child. It doesn't matter if I tell you. I'm just afraid that Jingyi will think wrongly and misunderstand us. And I really don't have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. Look, our Xia family may only have one girl in Yuanxuebao's generation. I can't wait to spoil her, so how can I not like her? The main reason is that I don't want to put too much pressure on Jingyi."

"Is that fortune teller really that powerful? Can he even predict exactly how many children the child will be in the destiny?" Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou was still smiling.

"Sister-in-law, please don't disbelieve me. After I married the old man, we couldn't have children for a long time. We went to the hospital for a check-up and there was no problem. We were so anxious that we went to see this fortune teller. He said there was no need to worry. We were destined to have three children, and they were all boys. We just had to let nature take its course. Sure enough, I got pregnant with the first child the second month, and then gave birth to the second and third children one after another. Look, aren't they exactly three boys?"

"So the fortune teller said that the eldest and I would have two children, and the second child would have three children, all boys? Only the third child would have a boy and a girl?"

"Yes, this baby is definitely a boy. If you don't believe me, go to the hospital and take an ultrasound. The doctor will definitely not be wrong." Mother Xia said with certainty.

"But Nana is not pregnant, and neither is Jingyi."

"There's no rush. You just got pregnant with your second child this year, and Nana and Jingyi are not that old. What's destined can't be changed. It's great that our Xia family will be more prosperous in Yuanxue's generation. We have to thank our ancestors for their blessings." Mother Xia was very pleased.

"If that's true, then the third child is the luckiest. He has both a son and a daughter. I'm quite envious of him."

"Yes, having both a son and a daughter is a sign of a relationship where the "Shangguan" is paired with a "Yin" or "Shishen" is combined with a "Yin". This can not only balance the five elements but also be beneficial to the children's education. This kind of fate can easily cultivate smart children. The third child is a blessed one." Mother Xia was very pleased.

2025 October 10th, the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Monday, cloudy

The moonlight was like a handful of broken glass scattered on the concrete floor.

She curled up in the corner of the cell, stroking her slightly bulging belly with her fingertips repeatedly - where the sweetest evidence of her crime was being nurtured.

The night breeze that seeped in through the vents smelled musty, but it couldn't blow away the cedar scent on his shirt in my memory.

The two red lines on the pregnancy test stick this morning split my already broken life into even sharper pieces.

She recalled his red eyes when they last met yesterday, looking through the visitor glass: "Wanqi, I will definitely wait for you to come out, believe me, I love you." But how could the world with gold rims outside the iron wall accommodate a pregnant woman accused of matricide? Both his father and mother came from wealthy families, and he was now well-known in the entertainment industry. Even the stray cats he raised wore pure gold nameplates.

The old scars where the nails dug deep into the palms. The sound of the back of the mother's head hitting the corner of the coffee table when she fell to the ground always rang on time late at night. Now this unexpected life has given the bloody memory a new echo.

What should I do? What about the baby in my belly?

"The baby is kicking me..." She suddenly froze, but the imaginary fetal movement made the entire cell start spinning.

I am a sinner. I am not worthy of his family or his talent. I just feel sorry for the baby in my belly. If I had known earlier that I was pregnant with you, I would have endured any grievance. I would have let that woman do whatever she wanted. Now I can only let my child suffer.

"Child, don't blame mom for being cruel, and don't hate dad. It's mom who doesn't deserve dad, and you are not blessed to be dad's child. You are my Tang Wanqi's child, your last name is Tang. Mom can't speak, and mom is impulsive and irritable, so she committed such an unforgivable sin. I hope that you will be well in your next life, and remember to be careful with your words and actions."

That night, Tang Wanqi committed suicide in Shanghai Prison.

. . .

The Han River always has a damp and fishy smell in June.

When Li Taixiong rubbed the blade with his thumb, he heard the untimely cry - like a pair of scissors suddenly cutting a taut string.

Two hundred meters away, the machetes of the Busan Seven Stars Gang were reflecting the neon lights.

Both sides were stunned at the same time, and the sound of police whistles came from the river bank.

As the sound of sirens became increasingly clear, Li Taixiong pushed aside the reeds and saw a baby in a cradle clutching a maple leaf, with frost from 2025 frozen on the veins of the leaf.

"Brother, this must be a trap!" A younger brother used the barrel of a gun to pry open the ribbon embroidered with quantum symbols.

However, Li Taixiong noticed that there was a heart symbol on the back of the baby's neck, which was the logo of the future welfare home.

The memory of starving in the orphanage decades ago suddenly came to him. He tore off his suit and wrapped the child, glancing at the name on the quantum symbol ribbon: "Ashiba, the underworld is afraid of a trap. From today on, his name is Tang Jinyan, the ninth son of me, Li Taixiong."
