The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Du Yuzhi's face stiffened instantly, and she even felt a little flustered, but she still tried to remain calm and said, "Savings? I don't have any savings left. Have you forgotten that I lost it all when I gambled last time?"

Just as the word "gambling" came up, Cheng Liwen walked in from outside.

Shen Changtian immediately glared at Du Yuzhi, "Keep your voice down, don't let Mom hear."

Du Yuzhi nodded. Of course, she didn't want Cheng Liwen to hear it, since she had already spent all that money on Momo and didn't have much left.

As soon as Cheng Liwen walked in, she noticed that something was wrong with the two of them. "What's wrong with you two? You don't look too good."

"Mom, we were all kicked out of the house by that wretched girl Shen Yanran, how could we be in a good mood?" Du Yuzhi deliberately shifted the topic to Shen Yanran.

Cheng Liwen's face turned ashen instantly. "I never expected Shen Yanran to become so inhuman. She even took over the house we've lived in for decades. I absolutely cannot let this go. Tomorrow, I'm going to the hospital to settle accounts with her!"

Du Yuzhi stroked her belly and said meaningfully, "Yes, Mom, I support you. We can't let her get all the benefits. You have to think more about your eldest grandson."

Cheng Liwen's gaze darkened. "You're right. Even if not for myself, but for my garlic cloves, I can't just stand by and watch that heartless, despicable person take away all of our Shen family's assets and company. I'm going to take everything that belongs to us back!"

Cheng Liwen is determined to fight Shen Yanran to the very end this time.

However, they had no idea that Shen Yanran didn't care about these material possessions at all, and had never thought about owning them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have signed the equity transfer agreement so readily.

She was unaware of what Li Zhanting had done for her, and of course, Li Zhanting wouldn't let her worry about such trivial matters.

The next day, Cheng Liwen got up very early and woke up Shen Changtian and Du Yuzhi as well, wanting to drag them to the hospital to confront Shen Yanran.

But Shen Changtian had been tortured in prison for so long, and he was finally able to get a good night's sleep, so naturally he didn't want to get up early. Du Yuzhi, needless to say, took advantage of her pregnancy and used the child as an excuse for everything.

Seeing that she couldn't wake them up, Cheng Liwen had no choice but to give up. She then quickly tidied herself up and took a taxi to the hospital.

She planned to use the same trick to get into Shen Guohua's ward, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even get through the front door now.

Almost everyone entering the hospital is personally checked by security guards before being allowed to enter.

Cheng Liwen's wishful thinking backfired. Li Zhanting had already arranged for people to keep an eye on her every move and also had people guarding the hospital entrance, so she had no chance to get close to Shen Yanran.

Having no other option, Cheng Liwen returned to the hotel like a deflated balloon and told Shen Changtian and Du Yuzhi what had happened.

Shen Changtian sat on the sofa and thought for a while before saying, "Mom, I've thought about it. Even if we meet Shen Yanran and argue with her, it won't make any difference. She has Li Zhanting backing her up, so we won't get any benefits. We might as well buy a house first and settle down before we talk about anything else."

Cheng Liwen lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds, then felt that Shen Changtian's words made sense. "What you said is right. Otherwise, it's not a good idea for us to keep staying in hotels. But buying a house in Haicheng would cost a lot of money. Do you have enough money?"

Shen Changtian discussed this with Du Yuzhi because he was short of money. "Mom, all my money is invested in stocks, and I can't get it out for the time being. How about you lend it to me first, and I'll pay you back when I make money from the stocks?"

Cheng Liwen only had this one son in her life, and thinking that he wouldn't lie to her, she nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then I'll lend you the money first."

Du Yuzhi seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Mom, leave the house-hunting to Changtian and me. I happen to know a friend who has a lot of listings and can give us a good discount."

Cheng Liwen didn't think too much about it. "Okay, take me over to see it after you've looked at it. If there are no problems, we'll buy it directly."

Du Yuzhi was so happy she could hardly stop smiling. She had been thinking about how to get money out of Cheng Liwen, but Shen Changtian had come up with a great idea for her. Once she got the money, she could leave this unfortunate mother and daughter and live happily ever after with her little Momo!

In the following days, Cheng Liwen did try to talk to Shen Guohua again, but she was inexplicably stopped each time. As time went on, she got annoyed and stopped trying. She just waited for Shen Changtian to find a place and move out of the hotel.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, without Cheng Liwen and Shen Changtian causing trouble, Shen Guohua seemed to be recovering better and better.

Seeing that he could be discharged from the hospital soon, Shen Yanran was even happier than Shen Guohua. "Grandpa, I've cleaned up your room. It's decorated in the style you liked before. It's right next to my and Zhan Ting's bedroom, so it'll be convenient for me to take care of you."

Shen Guohua frowned slightly and said unhappily, "You child, didn't I tell you that finding me a nursing home would be fine? How can I just move into your house? It will affect your life as a young couple. Besides, you're pregnant, how can you come and take care of me?"

While packing Shen Guohua's luggage, Shen Yanran said very seriously, "You are my grandfather, it is only right that I take care of you. I promised to take care of you in your old age, so will you listen to me?"

Shen Guohua was both amused and exasperated. This tone made it sound like she was treating him like a child.

Finally, at Shen Yanran's insistence, he was taken to the apartment where Shen Yanran and Li Zhanting lived.

Having lived most of his life, this was the first time Shen Guohua had left the Shen family to stay at someone else's house. Although it was his own granddaughter's house, it still felt different.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Being able to spend his last moments with his beloved granddaughter, he could die without regrets.

In fact, before being discharged from the hospital, Shen Guohua specifically asked the doctor not to tell Shen Yanran his true condition, because he didn't want to make Shen Yanran sad on the happiest day of her life.

Even if the truth eventually comes out, he only hopes that Shen Yanran's sadness will only last a few days...

Soon it was time for Shen Yanran's prenatal checkup.

Shen Yanran was a little nervous. She didn't know what was wrong with her lately; she was eating a lot more, and her weight seemed to have increased significantly. Her belly also looked much bigger than that of other pregnant women at the same stage of pregnancy. She was worried that this might affect the health of the baby in her belly.

Li Zhanting found the most authoritative obstetrician and gynecologist in the country to examine Shen Yanran, just in case there was even the slightest mishap.

The doctor, surnamed Zhao, had over thirty years of experience in obstetrics and gynecology. So, before even conducting a formal examination on Shen Yanran, she looked at her belly and predicted, "Mrs. Li is very likely to have twins this time."

twin?

This is truly an incredible and rare opportunity!

Shen Yanran could hardly believe her luck. "Really? Dr. Zhao, am I really having twins?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after an ultrasound. Come on, Mrs. Li, please lie down and don't move." After saying that, Dr. Zhao moved the instrument back and forth on Shen Yanran's abdomen.

Sure enough, less than a minute later, Dr. Zhao said with certainty, "I guessed right, they are indeed twins, and the babies are very healthy, so there's no need to worry."

Upon hearing the words "twins," Shen Yanran burst into tears, startling Li Zhanting, who was accompanying her for the checkup. "Wife, what's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

Shen Yanran gently shook her head, "No, I just didn't expect we would be so lucky to have two babies at once, I'm so happy."

Li Zhanting kissed Shen Yanran's forehead, saying with a doting expression, "It's nothing. If you like it, I'll try harder next time, and maybe we'll have triplets..."

Shen Yanran blushed instantly and instinctively covered Li Zhanting's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, the doctor is still here watching..."

Dr. Zhao was used to this; her decades of experience in gynecology had taught her that in situations like this, one had to be thick-skinned.

Li Zhanting kissed Shen Yanran's fingers and then said in a low voice, "Okay, no more nonsense. I'll ask a more serious question, Dr. Zhao, can you tell the genders of the two babies now?"

Li Zhanting didn't care whether the child was a boy or a girl; he was just a little curious. Besides, knowing the gender would make it easier for him to buy things for the baby.

This question made Dr. Zhao nervous. Li Zhanting was no ordinary man. With wealth that could rival a country, he would definitely want his offspring to be boys. If the twins were girls, would he just abort them?

Having worked as an obstetrician and gynecologist for so many years, she has seen countless men in wealthy families who abort fetuses as soon as they hear it's a girl. This is a major reason why gynecological hospitals now strictly prohibit the disclosure of the sex of the fetus.

Seeing that Dr. Zhao hesitated, Li Zhanting seemed to realize what she was worried about, so he spoke in a steady voice and continued, "Dr. Zhao, you don't need to worry. I am biased towards boys, just tell the truth."

Dr. Zhao recalled how much Li Zhanting doted on Shen Yanran before, and she understood the situation. "Mr. Li has misunderstood. Mrs. Li is only about three months pregnant, so it's too early to tell the gender. The gender of the fetus can only be accurately determined at least four months."

Li Zhanting nodded in understanding, "I see. Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Zhao."

Dr. Zhao immediately said modestly, "Mr. Li, you're too kind. This is what I should do. Also, here is your baby's ultrasound image. Please keep it safe."

Shen Yanran held the picture in her hand and looked at it carefully again and again. "Honey, the baby is so cute. Let's take it home and show it to Grandpa later."

Li Zhanting, equally delighted, said, "Yes, Grandpa will be very happy to know you're pregnant with twins. I'll tell the old family home the good news later."
