Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Chapter 25: It's good to learn from setbacks.

Zhou Jianguo didn't even have lunch at the villa.

They went straight to Han Xiaofen's apartment.

He remembered that he had asked Han Xiaofen to help him choose a birthday gift for Grandpa Jiang. He wondered how well the choice went and needed to check it out.

Han Xiaofen had just arrived home. She was already pregnant and had just done some physical labor.

I didn't feel like eating much at noon, so I just asked the housekeeper to make me a simple meal.

The aunt had just placed the fish soup, which is rich in protein and suitable for pregnant women, in front of Han Xiaofen when, to her surprise, the other woman's face immediately darkened.

He covered his mouth and ran to the toilet to vomit for a while.

When she came out, her face was pale. The aunt asked anxiously, "Madam, are you alright?"

Han Xiaofen's beautiful face twisted in anger, and after gritting her teeth for a long time, she said in a gloomy voice, "Pour out the fish soup. Don't make me any more fish soup for a while."

The aunt quickly took away the fish soup, thinking that the other person had morning sickness from the smell of fish.

After rushing out of the kitchen, I opened the windows and the air purifier to let the smell dissipate.

Han Xiaofen's expression softened considerably: "Auntie, I'm fine. Please close the window; it's so hot that the wind is blowing in."

In fact, Han Xiaofen did not have morning sickness at all.

She simply associated it with things that made her nauseous: such an ugly man and such ugly...

If he hadn't been of great use to me, I would never have bothered with him in the first place.

In this world, the only people who are worthy of me are those outstanding, handsome, and high-quality men.

"Okay." The aunt had been through it all and knew that women at this stage were easily emotionally unstable by all sorts of little things. She was understanding and never felt uncomfortable being bossed around.

"Why are you opening the window?" Zhou Jianguo asked casually as soon as he came in and saw the aunt closing the window.

Han Xiaofen immediately composed herself and greeted him with joy: "Jianguo, you're back!"

The woman quickly grabbed a towel and gently wiped the sweat from the other person's face, then cautiously asked, "Jianguo, you're not angry with us anymore, are you?"

Yesterday at the banquet, she encouraged Zhou Qingya to impersonate Zhou Liwan, and after being exposed, she received a lot of cold shoulders.

Zhou Jianguo also gave him a cold look.

Zhou Jianguo frowned, but ultimately didn't say anything to blame him: "Eat well. You're an older pregnant woman now, so your diet needs to be more nutritious and regular."

Han Xiaofen happily pulled him to sit down and asked the aunt to bring another meal: "You didn't eat lunch, did you? I didn't expect you to come back, so I didn't ask the aunt to prepare much."

Zhou Jianguo took the rice bowl and first put a shrimp on Han Xiaofen's plate: "Have you picked out the gift I asked you to choose for Grandpa Jiang last time?"

Han Xiaofen paused for a moment, then looked pitifully at Zhou Jianguo: "I've been having some morning sickness these past two days, and Ya Ya is in a bad mood too, so I haven't had time to go buy it yet."

Zhou Jianguo thought that there were still a few days before the birthday banquet, so he didn't blame Han Xiaofen for procrastinating: "It's okay, but remember, you must choose a high-end one, the more expensive the better. There will definitely be a lot of people going, and we can't lose face."

"Good~"

Han Xiaofen thought indignantly, "He's so stingy with his own father, yet he cares so much about a woman who's been dead for so long."

Although she was unhappy inside, she still maintained a gentle and kind expression, and changed the subject by chatting about everyday things: "Ya Ya went to tidy up the psychological counseling room today. She seemed to be very upset about what happened to Academician Jiang's family, and she has become less talkative."

Zhou Jianguo quickly finished the last bite of rice in his bowl and said in a normal tone, "It's good to receive some setbacks; I've been spoiled since I was little."

Anger flashed across Han Xiaofen's face, but then she thought of her child and gently probed, "So I think this time, we should just stop being a psychologist. She's not as talented as Wanwan, so she should just go and work at a company."

Zhou Jianguo turned his head, his eyes fixed on his prey like an eagle's: "You want her to join the Zhou family?"

After waiting for a while without a reply, he left his seat and comfortably lay down on the sofa, waiting for someone to come and massage him to relax his body.

Of course, Han Xiaofen didn't keep him waiting any longer. Without even eating, she went over and massaged his arm: "No, that girl has never worked before. Zhou's is such a big company, I'm afraid she can't handle the hardship. I was thinking it would be better to let her take over Wanbao first and gain some experience."

Zhou Jianguo suddenly opened his eyes and laughed angrily: "You're quite clever, aren't you? You've got a really good plan!"

Han Xiaofen was a little unhappy and said aggrievedly, "I'm doing this for Ya Ya's sake. I know you want to say that it was left to Wan Wan by Sister Xin Yi, but Wan Wan is Jiang's granddaughter. Just that title alone is enough to allow her to do whatever she wants for the rest of her life. But what about our Wan Wan? She has nothing. She hasn't even been registered in your Zhou family's household register yet!"

Zhou Jianguo, his face ashen, snapped, "Don't be unreasonable! I've said I would definitely marry you, what are you worried about?"

Han Xiaofen laughed in exasperation: "Marry me? Ha! We were supposed to get married on the 3rd of next month, but after hearing a few words from others yesterday, you felt sorry for Zhou Liwan and wanted to postpone the wedding. Do you know I'm almost showing? If we keep delaying, are you planning to wait until I give birth before having the wedding?!"

"Or are you just a coward, afraid of losing the Jiang family's support, and you won't dare to marry me as long as Zhou Liwan doesn't agree!"

A storm raged in Zhou Jianguo's eyes, his anger almost uncontrollable: "Shut up! Forget about Ya Ya taking over Wan Bao. I've made my decision. I'll transfer all of Xin Yi's assets to Wan Wan!"

Han Xiaofen immediately lost control, shouting and yelling, "Why! Zhou Jianguo! Have you ever thought about me, Ya Ya, and our unborn child? You left Xin Yi Di to Wanwan all by yourself, what will happen to my child! What will happen to him?!"

Zhou Jianguo sneered: "What do you mean, 'what to do'? That was never yours to begin with, what does it have to do with you?"

Hearing his coldness, Han Xiaofen gasped, her heart turning cold: "You... I've followed you for so many years without any status or recognition, and I've raised so many children for your Zhou family. Is this how you treat us?!"

Zhou Jianguo looked impatient: "You don't need to say these nonsense things. This is all your own choice, I didn't force you! Besides, if it weren't for me, could you live such a comfortable life? You have a car when you go out, and a housekeeper to cook for you when you come back? Ya Ya hasn't worked a single day since she graduated."

Han Xiaofen closed her eyes for a moment, then gritted her teeth and shouted, "Don't talk to me about the car. As soon as we left, Zhou Liwan stood us up with just a word, leaving me, a pregnant woman, and Ya Ya to stand in the sun for hours!"

Zhou Jianguo didn't want to waste any more words and simply said, "Ya Ya can go to Wanbao, but she can only start from the bottom. Okay, calm down yourself, and I'll come back when you're calm!"

The person disappeared from the apartment.

Han Xiaofen slumped onto the sofa, throwing everything within reach in a fit of rage.

The aunt couldn't get involved in the master's affairs, so she could only hide in the kitchen and wait for the woman to finish her tantrum.

After calming down and thinking about it, would the rest of the Zhou family still agree to this if they knew?

Even if Zhou Liwan eventually takes everything back, she will make sure that the process of getting her hands on things isn't so smooth.

She sat up straight, composed herself, and dialed Zhou Wenyue's number.
