1258 Agreed to Reconcile
“What?” The old lady was shocked. “So expensive?”
She only knew that bird’s nest was a rare thing, but she did not expect it to be so expensive.
There were only a few boxes. At most, she could eat them ten times. It cost ten thousand yuan?
Xu Qianqian held the glass of milk and didn’t know what to say. She didn’t like to eat bird’s nest, but she had spent money to buy them.
When Wang Yunzhong bought it, he especially chose a better grade. It was much better than those bird’s nests worth eight hundred yuan on the market. This old lady gave it away without blinking!
The old lady was also dumbfounded. If she knew that this bird’s nest was so expensive, she would have thought twice before letting Xia eat a bowl, let alone giving them all to Li Xia.
“Qianqian… Mom didn’t know it was so expensive.” The old lady quickly apologized. “Don’t be angry. I’ll get Xia to send them back later.”
“Forget it!” Xu Qianqian waved her hand and said impatiently, “You’ve already given it away. What would it look like if I want it back? What would others think if they know I can’t even bear to part with that bit of bird’s nest?”
Although she was unwilling, this was the matter. She had already let someone bring it home, so how could she get it back? It would be a joke. Even the old lady would suffer in the middle.
“Then… Mom will compensate you. Take it as a gift from me to Xia!” The old lady was afraid that Xu Qianqian would be angry, so she wanted to ask for her forgiveness.
However, how could Xu Qianqian let the old lady fork out this money? Seeing that she was nervous, Xu Qianqian couldn’t help but soften her expression. “Oh, Mom, what are you talking about? Would I let you fork out money for a few boxes of bird’s nest? I’ll give them to Sister-in-law. Anyway, she’s not an outsider. I married over late and she was pregnant early. I didn’t give her anything.”
Xu Qianqian also comforted herself in her heart. The food was a little expensive, but she did not like to eat it. It was not a crime for this old lady not to know. It was fine to give it to her.
When the old lady heard Xu Qianqian’s words, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly smiled and nodded. “Alright, our Qianqian is still the magnanimous one. I’ll share the price of this bird’s nest with Xia later and let her remember you!”
“No need, Mom. You’ll make me look like I’m looking down on her,” Xu Qianqian said.
“What do you want to eat tonight? The nanny isn’t at home today. Mom will cook for you!” the old lady asked.
Xu Qianqian thought for a moment. During her pregnancy, her appetite had never been good. Occasionally, she would have something she wanted to eat, but she often didn’t want to eat it when it was ready. The doctor also said that some pregnant women were like this. They would only have a short attention span for any food.
After a while, Xu Qianqian said, “I want to eat egg soup.”
“Egg soup?” The old lady stood up. “Alright, Mom will steam it for you. Drink the milk and lie down again. I’ll call you for dinner later.”
During Xu Qianqian’s pregnancy, she was much more comfortable than Li Xia. They hired a nanny, and the two elders took care of her, making Xu Qianqian even more delicate!
However, while Xu Qianqian enjoyed it, she was also a little afraid. If she could not give birth to a son this time, she would have to get pregnant again.
There was no need for the Wang family to rush her. She knew in her heart that if she wanted to stabilize her position as the mistress of the Wang family, she had to give birth to a son.
The old lady came out of the master bedroom, and her fake smile froze on her face. When the air in her chest relaxed, she couldn’t help but mutter softly, “This Yunzhong bought such an expensive bird’s nest. Even if he’s rich, he shouldn’t spend it like this!”
She was just muttering these words to herself. How would she dare to say them in front of Xu Qianqian?
When Wang Yunzhong returned from work, the sky was already getting dark. When he got out of the car, he saw the old man still sitting on the stone bench with cigarette butts all over the ground.
“Dad, it’s such a cold day. Why are you sitting here?” Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but walk forward. He noticed the old man was smoking a lot and couldn’t help but whisper, “Look at you. Don’t you want your body after smoking so much?”
The old man slowly stood up but said nothing to Wang Yunzhong. Instead, he said, “Xia came over today in the afternoon. She sat for a while before leaving.”
“For Yunfa?” Wang Yunzhong asked.
The old man nodded. “That’s right. I’m still thinking about it.”
Hearing this, Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but sigh deeply. It had been a few days, but there was no movement from the hospital or the police station. It was indeed nerve-wracking.
Wang Yunzhong saw that the old man had lost a lot of weight. He knew his father better. Although the old man didn’t say some things, it was easy for him to be anxious and angry if he kept them in his heart.
In the end, his heart ached for his father. After thinking for a moment, Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but say, “How about this, Dad? I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow morning. If Wang Dapeng is awake, I’ll talk to him.”
“Are you going alone?” the old man asked.
Wang Yunzhong nodded. “Ah, I’ll go myself. Wait for my news at home.”
The old man was worried, mainly because he wanted to know the situation immediately. He couldn’t help but quickly say, “Why don’t Dad go with you?”
“No need. I’ll go by myself!” Wang Yunzhong said slowly, “In the beginning, I thought it would be easier to handle things with more people. I even asked Li Xia to go when she was pregnant. In the end, nothing happened.”
“That woman doesn’t look like a reasonable person. With more of us, she’s even more resistant.”
The old man slowly nodded. “Alright, you go.”
Unexpectedly, as the two of them were discussing, Wang Yunzhong’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He was stunned for a moment before picking it up. “Hello!”
“Mr. Wang? I’m Xiao Wang from the police station.”
It was Officer Wang. When Wang Yunzhong heard this, he quickly said, “Hello, Officer Wang. I’m Wang Yunzhong.”
Officer Wang said, “It’s like this, Mr. Wang. Our police station has already done the other party’s job. They agreed to reconcile, but they’ll discuss the details when we meet.”
“Really?” Wang Yunzhong was delighted. “No problem, Officer Wang. When is this happening?”
Officer Wang said, “How about nine in the morning tomorrow? Let’s reconcile early and understand this matter. I’ll be present by then as a witness.”
“Alright, no problem.”
Officer Wang didn’t forget to remind him, “But we don’t know what kind of compensation the other party will propose, so before we meet tomorrow, you better think of a logical price you can accept. This is more beneficial to the negotiation.”
Wang Yunzhong quickly agreed. “Alright, we’ll discuss it tonight. Sorry to trouble you, Officer Wang.”
After hanging up, the old man looked at Wang Yunzhong in a daze and said, “The police station called? What did they say?”
Joy appeared on Wang Yunzhong’s face as well. When he heard this, he said, “It’s a call from the police station. They said the other party has agreed to reconcile and wants us to talk to them at nine in the morning!”
