The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Xing Yanzhao had already thought of names for the child for a long time, preparing both boy and girl names, just waiting for Luo Huai to choose.

The final choice was Xing Luoziyue.

"Xing Luoziyue?" Xing's mother paused. "Taking the father and the mother?"

“Yes, Xing Ziyue and Luo Ziyue both sound good,” Xing Yuru said. “My brother means that we can’t leave my sister-in-law’s family without anyone.”

“It’s true that she’s the only one left in Luo Huai’s family, but…” Xing’s mother still felt uneasy. “They can have another daughter, and it’s perfectly fine for her to take Luo Huai’s surname.”

"My brother got a vasectomy," Xing Yuru dropped another bombshell.

Both Xing's mother and father looked at her at the same time, and Xing's mother, who was sitting, was so surprised that she stood up.

"Yanzhao had a vasectomy? He's over thirty and he still had one!"

What does Luo Huai mean?

“It was my brother’s decision. It seems my sister-in-law doesn’t know yet. I just happened to see it,” Xing Yuru said calmly. “My brother doesn’t want my sister-in-law to go through the hardships of pregnancy again. Last week, when my sister-in-law finished her postpartum confinement, my brother helped her wash her hair. A lot of hair fell out in the basin, and my brother cried while washing it.”

They didn't dare to breathe loudly at that moment.

The eldest sister-in-law reached out to wipe away her brother's tears, saying that she was fine, but her eyes were also red.

Mr. and Mrs. Xing remained silent for a moment.

Xing Yuru continued, "A couple of days ago, my sister-in-law was sunbathing on the balcony. While she was sunbathing, her skirt got wet. She hid in her room for a long time and didn't come out. My brother was so anxious that he kicked the door open. If this happens again these days, my brother-in-law kneels down and uses a handkerchief to wipe his sister-in-law."

"So, I only saw my older brother undergoing a tubal ligation at the hospital yesterday."

Xing's mother frowned: "Hair loss, urinary incontinence... these are things every mother goes through. We've all been through this, aren't we making a mountain out of a molehill?"

“My brother is happy to make a big deal out of my sister-in-law’s matter, and it’s not a small matter for him.” Xing Yuru paused for a moment. “Yes, every mother goes through these things, but my brother doesn’t want my sister-in-law to go through it a second time.”

"Is it because Mom and Dad are complaining that my older brother and sister-in-law are making a mountain out of a molehill? Is it because neither of you can be as loved as your older brother, and neither of you can be as cared for as your sister-in-law?"

Xing Yuru took a deep breath and smiled gently, "Mom, Dad, why don't we try to think about it from multiple perspectives?"

Mr. and Mrs. Xing were speechless.

Especially that phrase, "no one cares," was a thorn in Xing's mother's heart. Wasn't she truly uncared for? Washing her hair? Wiping her urine? She didn't even dare to dream of it.

When Xing Yuru came downstairs again, she heard the housekeeper say that it was visiting day. Her father said coldly that she should not mention Lin Zhengyu again. Her mother hesitated for a moment, but still had someone send her a clean set of clothes.

Finally, he added, "Don't mention his affairs again."

Xing's mother turned her head and saw her daughter, asking, "Going to Binjiang Bay?"

“No, I have plans with friends.” Xing Yuru noticed something in her mother’s eyes. “If you and Dad want to see Ziyue, you can go to Grandpa and Grandma’s tomorrow. My older brother and sister-in-law will take Ziyue back to the old house tomorrow.”

Xing's mother nodded.

"Is the friend you're meeting male or female?" she couldn't help but ask again. After the Lin Zhengyu incident, she felt guilty not only towards her son but also towards her daughter.

Xing Yuru turned around and said, "It's a boy, Mom."

"Are they just ordinary friends?" Xing's mother seemed a little flustered. "I don't mean to interfere with your love life or marriage. Your marriage is now decided by your older brother. He is the head of the family."

“We’re just friends,” Xing Yuru said. “If I were in a relationship, I wouldn’t hide it from my parents.”

Mrs. Xing smiled, seemingly returning to the dignified and gentle Mrs. Xing she once was.

……

The Xing family's old residence.

The old lady and the old man woke up early and had the housekeeper personally supervise the servants to clean the house thoroughly. They also personally called over the kitchen staff to give them detailed instructions.

"Luo Huai can't eat peanuts; she can't have any peanuts in her food. She just finished her postpartum period, and her body still needs to replenish its nutrition. Make more nourishing soups to replenish her qi and blood."

"It's still a bit cold in early spring, so the air conditioner in their room is on and the windows are left open for ventilation."

"Has Ziyue's crib been finished and delivered? And the silk quilt made from various families, has it been delivered?"

The housekeeper said it had been delivered a long time ago.

"Send them all to Yanzhao and Luohuai's rooms and get them ready for them."

Although the entire clan has not yet been notified, quite a few people came to the old house today. At least the three sons and one daughter of the old man and woman all appeared together.

Uncle Xing failed in his open power struggle and was sent away. He had been waiting for someone else to surpass Xing Yanzhao, but Xing Yanzhao still held power. He had no choice but to humbly flatter him. In the past, he used to call himself Uncle Xing with disdain for the younger generation, but now he calls himself Uncle Xing with kindness.

One family, in particular, was opportunistic, using the child to curry favor with the other.

Even if Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai had grievances against their second uncle and aunt, they would not let the children suffer the consequences, and they always treated the children who called them uncle and aunt with smiles.

When they really started talking, Xing Yanzhao and his third uncle got closer, and Luo Huai would also subconsciously get closer to his third aunt.

My second aunt would secretly spit on me whenever she saw me from afar.

What's so great about that? They just bet on Xing Yanzhao and his wife.

If Luo Huai were to turn around and call her Second Aunt, she would immediately smile and say, "Luo Huai, you are a great contributor to the Xing family! You gave birth to a son with your first child. When are you going to have a second one?"

"We'll see when the time comes," Luo Huai said with a smile.

"What are you looking at? You should have children as early as possible!" Auntie walked over with a smile. "Have another daughter, so you can have a son and a daughter."

“Since Second Aunt loves her daughter so much, she can easily have another one herself.” Luo Huai greeted her with a smile. “It just so happens that Second Aunt doesn’t have a daughter either. There are plenty of women your age who are pregnant again.”

Aunt Xing choked.

She already has grandchildren; if she were to have another child now, who knows what her son and daughter-in-law would think of her?

"Luo Huai, you're really joking."

"I learned it from my second aunt."

Aunt Xing gave an embarrassed smile, said that her stomach was a little uncomfortable, and slunk away.

As they walked a little further away, Aunt Xing laughed out loud, "Long time no see, your silver tongue has truly been passed down from Yanzhao."

Luo Huai smiled and admitted, "It was indeed taught by Brother Zhao."

Aunt Xing nodded: "This is a good lesson, so you won't suffer any losses."

Aunt Xing, who was far away, spat again, "What bad luck! This Luo Huai is just like Qiu Ya. On the surface, she looks dignified, gentle, and polite to people, but in reality, she's as vicious as a snake and has no manners whatsoever."

"You're quite well-mannered, gossiping behind people's backs." Xing's mother overheard her mutterings. "It's none of your business, as an aunt, to lecture Luo Huai."

Aunt Xing was startled. She patted her chest and said, "Who do you think I am? My sister-in-law is here speaking up for Luo Huai. If Luo Huai finds out, will he accept her as his mother-in-law? What were you doing earlier? Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical now?"

"Don't even mention Luo Huai, even Xing Yanzhao, his own son, doesn't acknowledge you. Sister-in-law, instead of glaring at me, you should reflect on how you mistook a fish eye for a pearl and how you broke the hearts of that young couple." Aunt Xing scoffed. Nobody likes Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai, so who is more noble than whom?
