Chapter 1934 - For the Time Being, Do Not Put Them on the Alert (1/2)
News of Chu Jingnan misappropriating company funds was reported by the media, attracting worldwide attention. Wave after wave of scandals erupted from the Xiao Corporation, and anyone with half a brain could see that something fishy was going on.
When Chu Jingnan was controlling the Xiao Corporation, he had completely suppressed Xiao Zhiyuan and the Lin Family. Now that the Xiao Family had withdrawn from the power struggle, the Lin Family had taken over and were clearly after Chu Jingnan with a vengeance.
Chu Jingnan was a smart and cautious man with great foresight. According to what Wen Xinya knew of him from her two lifetimes, he would never do something as foolish and risky as misappropriating company funds.
The Xiao Family and Lin Family were merciless. To eradicate Chu Jingnan, it was totally easy for them to fabricate some evidence pointing toward Chu Jingnan’s misappropriating company funds. Meanwhile, Chu Jingnan had no power and no financial resources. It was impossible for him to clear his own name. He was going to jail for sure this time.
“You look much better today. How has your appetite been like lately?” Zhou Huiyan held Wen Xinya’s hand as she looked over her carefully. She felt much more at ease after seeing her looking healthier than before.
Zhou Huiyan had two sons. Perhaps it was because she had no daughter of her own and she felt a certain affinity with Xinya, so she treated her as if she was her own daughter.
“Still the same. Mother He and Mrs. Tan have made many delicacies for me, and I managed to eat some.”
Since getting pregnant, her appetite had been poor and she struggled to keep her food down. She felt exhausted every day and slept a lot. Whenever Si Yiyan was around, he would patiently coax her into eating just a bit more food.
“Are you experiencing morning sickness and other such symptoms?” Zhou Huiyan asked in a gentle voice.
Xinya’s hands were cold and damp. She was obviously not well and didn’t know if she could persevere through the next grueling 10 months. Her heart once again filled with anxiety.
Wen Xinya shook her head. “Nope!”
She experienced some bouts of nausea and vomiting when she first got pregnant, but these symptoms disappeared thereafter. She didn’t think much of it as she thought that everyone’s pregnancy experience was different.
“You must take good care of yourself, especially as this is your first pregnancy. If you do so, your future pregnancies will go much smoother.” Zhou Huiyan patted her hand and smiled benevolently. She exuded a calming presence.
But actually her heart was full of anxiety.
Xinya had been pregnant for close to three months and still didn’t exhibit any morning sickness symptoms. This meant that her condition was not yet stabilized and there was a risk of miscarriage.
Wen Xinya nodded. “Okay!”
Since her pregnancy, Grampy and Grandpa had been over often to visit her and shower her with concern. Zhou Tianyu and the rest also took turns to accompany her at the hospital, as they were worried that she would be bored. Even Yan Shaoqing and gang would sometimes come over to visit her.
Everyone was very concerned about her health.
But Aunt Zhou gave her a motherly type of care and love. It warmed her heart.
“Does your tummy feel sore, swollen, and heavy? Did you experience any minor cramping pains in your lower abdomen?” Zhou Huiyan continued to ask her. The first pregnancy was not an easy affair for a woman. Moreover, Xinya was young and ignorant. She just felt very worried.
“I no longer feel any minor cramping pains in my lower abdomen. But my tummy area still feels a bit sore and swollen.”
This was already a big improvement. As long as she continued to rest and take good care of herself, she no longer felt that ill.
Zhou Huiyan finally smiled. “This means your baby has become more stabilized. You still need to take precautions. With regards to food, you need to pay more attention to nutrition. Eat more nourishing foods. Avoid foods that have a cooling or heaty effect.”
