In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 166 She is much better than Liang Shiyu

"I think you should put off work for now and focus on having the baby safely. You can go back to work after the baby grows a bit," Shiyu’s words were all meant for Jinzhi’s sake, but when they reached the Xie Family’s ears, they sounded more like tattling.

They accused Jinzhi of not valuing the Xie Family’s offspring, continuing to fuss about outside despite being pregnant.

The Xie Family looked displeased, but their discontent was not directed at Jinzhi, but at Shiyu.

Yet Shiyu was oblivious, continuing, "Anyway, the baby is the most important thing right now."

Jinzhi sneered, pulling at the corner of her mouth, "You don’t need to bother yourself with this. You’d better spend your time taking care of Yihang instead."

"Yihang has only been born for a short while? And he’s been sick several times already, I don’t know how you’ve been taking care of him."

"Or is it that you didn’t take good care of him when he was still in the womb, and that’s why he keeps getting sick now?"

Jinzhi didn’t want to argue with Shiyu, but Shiyu was just asking for it, always going on about how the baby could be in danger.

If she was asking for it, she shouldn’t be surprised by harsh words!

Indeed, after Jinzhi finished speaking, Shiyu was first stunned, then her face filled with disbelief, not even knowing what to say to Jinzhi.

The dining table fell into a brief silence, the atmosphere turning quite eerie.

Especially since Shuying looked very displeased—as she had a soft spot for Xingchuan, it wasn’t something new, considering she only cooked personally for Xingchuan in their family.

Today was Xingchuan’s birthday, and Shuying had planned a dinner to celebrate his birthday. Now, Shiyu had suddenly caused trouble, ruining Xingchuan’s birthday. How could Shuying stand it?

Shuying looked up at Shiyu, her voice cold, "Jinzhi is right in what she said. If you’re so idle every day, you should really take care of Yihang properly."

"Mom, I..." Shiyu’s face turned pale, wanting to argue a little.

But nobody cared about Shiyu’s thoughts, and her intentions were clear to everyone.

Shuying directly interrupted Shiyu, "Eat, if you don’t want to eat, you can leave now and not disturb others here."

Shiyu was intimidated by Shuying’s gaze. Clearly, she wanted to explain, but looking at Shuying, she didn’t dare to continue and just shut her mouth obediently.

Now she felt extremely embarrassed, her eyes filled with tears, but nobody consoled her, not even Linchuan.

It wasn’t until the meal ended and after the birthday cake was cut that everyone left separately.

"Do you have a grudge against Shiyu?" On the way back, Yanchuan asked, puzzled. He didn’t understand why Shiyu always targeted Jinzhi.

Jinzhi looked at Yanchuan and couldn’t help but sigh, "She’s just plainly jealous of me!"

"Jealous that I didn’t get fat or ugly during my pregnancy, jealous that I have a good job, while she can only stay at home with the kids."

"Not only that, but there are many ways in which I am better than her, so naturally, her jealousy is extensive."

Jinzhi understood Shiyu all too well; just a little thought made it clear why Shiyu would say such things.

Yanchuan was somewhat incredulous after hearing this, unable to believe that the reason could be that simple.

"Forget about her, she has problems in her head; all day long it’s jealousy here, jealousy there, never knowing how to make an effort herself," Jinzhi was at a loss for words.

If it were her, she would never give up her career just to be with a man.

Xie Yanchuan nodded to show that he understood.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t take the matter to heart, knowing that if she really cared, she would be infuriated to death by Liang Shiyu.

However, the atmosphere over at Liang Shiyu’s place was quite bad at the moment.

When they were still at the Xie Family’s, Xie Yihang had already woken up. After two or three hours had passed, he should be getting sleepy again. Liang Shiyu was holding him, and Xie Yihang kept crying, crying so hard that he was nearly out of breath.

Xie Linchuan was getting anxious and said to Liang Shiyu, "Let me hold him."

Liang Shiyu knew Xie Linchuan was angry, but there was nothing she could do at that moment except to hand the baby over to Xie Linchuan.

It was funny, when Xie Linchuan took the baby, the crying gradually subsided, Xie Linchuan continued to patiently soothe him until Xie Yihang fell asleep.

Liang Shiyu sat beside them, wanting to say something several times, but she never found the right opportunity.

In the end, it came to nothing.

She regretted it, she shouldn’t have lost control and said those words today, but she really couldn’t help herself at that moment.

She completely forgot that Xu Jinzhi was not someone she could scold.

As soon as she said something, Xu Jinzhi would give no quarter and bluntly countered everything!

But Liang Shiyu felt that even though she had some selfish motives, more of it was for the good of the Xie Family’s grandson.

Xu Jinzhi would retort to her, shouldn’t the Xie Family be supporting her?

That’s why she spoke up in the first place, thinking the Xie Family would back her up.

But why didn’t they step in?

Liang Shiyu was feeling a bit angry at the bottom of her heart.

...

In early December, Xu Jinzhi went for another prenatal checkup, the baby was now nearly seven months along and developing well in Xu Jinzhi’s belly.

With the months progressing, the doctor advised Xu Jinzhi to maintain a good mindset and not be nervous, everything would go smoothly.

Although Xu Jinzhi knew that childbirth was a frightening thing, having gone through it in her past life, her mindset was still quite relaxed.

In contrast, Xie Yanchuan was quite nervous, always pretending to be calm in front of Xu Jinzhi then incessantly asking questions during the prenatal checkup.

Repeatedly confirming that Xu Jinzhi was fine, the baby was fine too, he then breathed a sigh of relief.

That evening, after Xu Jinzhi had taken a shower, she was lying in bed and Xie Yanchuan brought over a new bottle of Pregnancy Oil, sat down by the bed, ready to apply it to Xu Jinzhi.

This task had been entirely managed by Xie Yanchuan from when Xu Jinzhi first started using the Pregnancy Oil, whether it was the effect of the Pregnancy Oil or the nature of Xu Jinzhi’s body, so far she had not developed any stretch marks.

Xu Jinzhi lay still, not fidgeting, but her eyes were constantly staring at Xie Yanchuan, and as she watched, she was captivated by Xie Yanchuan’s attractiveness.

She couldn’t help having some little thoughts, and her gaze at Xie Yanchuan was no longer so innocent.

Xie Yanchuan glanced at Xu Jinzhi, initially unclear, but he quickly understood, his expression became somewhat awkward, not knowing what to say, and decided to divert his gaze first.
