NovelEnglishMaster Cheng had a son with his first wife. He was in his forties when he had a son with his second wife. Even though Master Cheng adored Cheng Jinnian, he secretly desired a daughter.
However, Madam Cheng and Master Cheng were both old, so there was no need to consider having a daughter. It was a good idea to have a granddaughter.
In terms of his granddaughter, Master Cheng said that they did not know when Cheng Jinyan would marry. It was their dream from Cheng Jinyan to give them a granddaughter. It was more practical to put that hope on Jiang Yao.
She was supposed to nap with Lu Xingzhi in the afternoon, but Jiang Yao slept even longer than Lu Xingzhi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was already past four o'clock in the evening when she awoke. Jiang Yao sat up because she was so tired. She scratched her head and muttered, "What time is it?" Then, she saw the people in the ward.
"It's past eight in the morning." It was rare for Mrs. Lu to see Jiang Yao in such a daze, so she teased Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao looked outside and then looked at Lu Xingzhi. "Then, can we check out of the hospital?"
Lu Xingzhi could not stop smiling. He realized Jiang Yao truly believed it was eight in the morning.
She had slept too long, so she probably thought she had slept the whole night.
"Okay, I will stop teasing you. Mrs." Lu could not stop herself from laughing. "It is four in the afternoon. That nap has dulled your mind."
"I feel like I've been pregnant for three years, and it's just the beginning," Jiang Yao mumbled before she put on her shoes and got out of bed. "When did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me up?"
"I didn't wake you up because I saw you sleep soundly." Lu Xingzhi approached Jiang Yao and stroked her unkempt hair. "I have already purchased tickets for our parents to return tomorrow afternoon."
While Jiang Yao slept, Lu Xingzhi arranged those trivial matters. Mrs. Lu had wanted to stay for a few more days, but it was Lu Xingzhi who persuaded her to go back.
I'll return to the army base after dinner," Mrs. Lu said. "He wants you to accompany him in the hospital tonight. If you want to go home and rest, you don't have to worry about him. I can stay here too. "

Once Jiang Yao woke up, Mrs. Lu and the other elderly members got busy. They packed everything they did not need and prepared to let Mrs. Lu take them home. It would be much faster for Lu Xingzhi to be discharged the following day.
Jiang Yao wanted to help, but because she was pregnant, she was treated as the most important person. The three older adults made her sit beside Lu Xingzhi and did not let her move.
Jiang Yao sighed helplessly. Then, her phone rang, and she went to pick it up.
The call was from Changkang Group's lawyer, asking if Jiang Yao was in the hospital.
"I'm here. You can come now. I've already made a backup of the recording. You can take it as soon as you come over," Jiang Yao replied as she carried her backpack to look for it. Then, she took out a memory card.
There was a recording of the phone call that Li Hong had made to Jiang Yao before Lu Xingzhi's accident. When Jiang Yao received the phone call from Li Hong, she recorded it. The content had indeed come in handy.
The lawyer was preparing to sue Li Hong and Li Hong's classmate in two days. The matter concerned Changkang Group. It was impossible for that matter to be settled so quickly. If others were to find out, they would think that Changkang Group and its legal department were useless.
