Chapter 176: Stand-in

He Yan helped Ye Xinyi to sit down on the sofa next to her, and she sat next to her second uncle.

The second uncle glanced at Ye Xinyi and said with a smile: "This is your wife?"

"Exactly. ”

Ye Xinyi saw that there was kindness between his eyebrows, which was completely different from Jiang Guangbei's feeling, and nodded with a smile to say hello.

The second uncle took a cup of tea from the table and handed it to He Yan, and saw Ye Xinyi's big belly, and ordered someone to pour her a cup of hot water.

The woman beside him got up first, "I'll just go." ”

"Sit down, there's a servant, you don't need to do it. The second uncle's tone towards the woman suddenly became gentle.

Ye Xinyi looked at them, as if she understood something, smiled and said thank you and stopped talking.

After a while, the servant poured a cup of hot water and placed it in front of her.

He Yan chatted with the second uncle about work, and the topic turned to tonight's bidding meeting.

The second uncle saw that he was in a good mood and asked, "Did you win it smoothly?"

"Yes, thank you to the second uncle for helping, otherwise I wouldn't be so easy. He Yan said, holding up the teacup, "Replace wine with tea, and toast the second uncle." ”

The second uncle gently touched the cup with him and drank it all.

"Actually, I didn't help much, but my nephew is too worry-free, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, so I have to break through. "The second uncle mentioned that Jiang Guangbei seemed to be a little unpleasant.

He Yan didn't interject about his family affairs, but said: "He is not wrong, it is normal to want to involve areas that he has not done, and I will do it if I do, but the means will not be as despicable as him." ”

"What do you seem to be implying by that?"

"Where, the second uncle's heart knows better than me, isn't it?"

The two glanced at each other, as if they both understood something, and suddenly laughed twice.

Ye Xinyi and the woman just sat there quietly and listened to their chat, and they didn't shy away from anything because of their existence.

A few minutes later, Ye Xinyi saw that they were chatting happily and got up quietly.

The woman saw it and got up and helped her, "What's wrong?"

"I want to go to the bathroom. ”

"I'll take you. ”

On the way to the bathroom with Ye Xinyi, she learned that this woman's name was Hu Ling, and she had just arrived at the western-style building here for a week.

However, it seems that she is already familiar with this place, and the servants around her are also very polite to her, and she has the demeanor of a hostess.

Ye Xinyi didn't ask her if it was or not, since she was by the side of the second uncle, it must be a little connected.

When she went to the bathroom and came out, Hu Ling handed her a tissue.

"Thank you. ”

Hu Ling looked at her stomach and asked curiously, "What are you......?" It's been more than seven months, right?"

"No, it's only been more than five months. ”

"Oh my God!" Hu Ling exclaimed, "It's been more than five months and it's been so big? ”

"Twins, of course, will be bigger than a normal pregnant belly. Ye Xinyi smiled at her surprised look.

Hu Ling hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I have no experience, so I ......"

"It doesn't matter. ”

The two walked from the bathroom to the living room, and Hu Ling asked her a lot about the pregnancy, and it seemed that she was quite interested.

Ye Xinyi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Do you want to ask for experience, how can you have twins?"

"Did you find out?" Hu Lingwei was embarrassed and shy, and pulled her to the small living room next to her to sit down, before telling the truth, "I'm thirty years old and I don't have children yet, I want to ...... Will there be? ”

When she said this, she couldn't help but look at the second uncle in the living room.

Ye Xinyi vaguely guessed something, thinking of the age of the second uncle, there is a lot of difference between her and her.

Having a child is probably not an easy task.

But she didn't say it so comprehensively, only said: "I have been married to He Yan for almost a year, you don't know how many people said about me at that time." ”

Ye Xinyi shared with her her previous experience so that she could not be too anxious, which was also the doctor's exact words.

After listening to her words, Hu Ling gradually began to have a little confidence.

"But this is also my unilateral thought, I just don't know ...... him" Hu Ling couldn't figure out what the second uncle meant.

Ye Xinyi didn't know much about their situation, but she still comforted her not to worry.

After talking to her for a while, the servant came over and quietly told her that the second uncle had asked her to come over.

"Well, we've been talking for a long time, it's time to get over. ”

Back in the living room, He Yan and the second uncle had finished chatting and were ready to leave.

"It's not early, and we've been bothering for a while, so we'll go back first. He Yan said.

The second uncle got up and personally sent them to the door, and Hu Ling also wanted to send them away, but was retained by the second uncle.

"It's cold outside, you still stay in the room. "The second uncle is still more attentive to her.

Hu Ling's face flushed shyly, nodded and stayed in the living room obediently, and did not forget to take care of Ye Xinyi and pay more attention to her body.

Walking to the door, He Yan asked the second uncle to stay.

Just as she was about to get into the car, Ye Xinyi suddenly stopped, turned around and asked him a question, "Second uncle, I shouldn't have asked about your family affairs, but I chatted with Sister Hu Ling for a while just now, and I see that she looks like she wants a child very much." ”

Speaking of this, she deliberately paused to look at the eyes of the second uncle.

Whether it is his mentality or experience, including how he behaves, he is a person who is above the words of congratulations.

From the moment he entered the door, he didn't show any other expression than the smile on his face.

Ye Xinyi didn't know if there was anything else when he was talking to He Yan, but the second uncle in front of him must be a person who is very deep in the city.

She didn't have the mentality of being able to see surprise.

Despite this, after her words, a trace of surprise and joy flashed in the second uncle's eyes.

It seems that the second uncle also has this idea.

"I don't know if she told her second uncle, but I'm too talkative. Ye Xinyi only thought she didn't know, and secretly blamed herself.

When the second uncle heard this, he quickly denied her thoughts, "No, you didn't, but you told me a very good message." ”

Then he looked at He Yan and praised, "You lady should cherish it." ”

"Definitely. ”

After the two got into the car, the second uncle turned around and went back.

As soon as their car came to the front, there was another car passing by the side, and it stopped safely at the door of the western-style building.

He Yan glanced outside, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said softly, "It's not too peaceful here tonight." ”

"What did you tell him later?" Ye Xinyi saw him, as if she had a feeling of watching a good show.

"There is a ready-made opportunity to sue, why not say it?"

"Huh??" Ye Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something, "Could you be...... Tell him about Jiang Mingjuan, right?"

"Or else?"

Ye Xinyi hammered him, "You really don't let go, Jiang Guangbei's matter is enough for the second uncle to have a headache, and you also told him that Jiang Mingjuan participated, isn't it obvious that you don't want him to feel better!"

In the short time of chatting in the living room, Ye Xinyi has probably figured out that this family should be the second uncle.

Jiang Guangbei and the others are estimated to have to obey his arrangement, and the second uncle can easily solve the bidding matter, if he knows that Jiang Mingjuan is involved......

"Who let him do tricks behind his back? I don't have the extra energy to deal with him anymore, so I might as well let his parents teach him well. He Yan said it easily.

Ye Xinyi began to think that the second uncle didn't know what to do with these two people.

It was only through his mouth that he learned that in the middle of this bidding meeting, He Yan already knew that he was winning, but Jiang Guangbei did other tricks.

Privately giving gifts and money to people, and threatening to take the land, not for anything else, or to make it clear that he wanted to congratulate him.

Fortunately, He Yan also kept a hand, and someone told him about this matter before there was a later one.

For the second uncle, He Yan helped him with Hu Ling.

Speaking of Hu Ling, He Yan looked at Ye Xinyi's eyes with great appreciation, "I didn't find that you actually helped me." ”

"Don't think I'm really stupid, how can I guess the look of the second uncle looking at Hu Ling. Ye Xinyi has been observing since she entered the door, and the relationship between the second uncle and Hu Ling is definitely not ordinary.

It turned out that the second uncle once met a girl when he was young and fell in love with her very much, but the two couldn't be together for various reasons.

What the reason for this is, He Yan doesn't know, and the second uncle didn't reveal too much.

Later, he was alone until he became the helmsman of the Jiang family, and there was no one around him who could talk to him except his loyal subordinates.

It is inevitable that a person will be very lonely after a long time, and the second uncle is also an ordinary person, and he also wants to have a pillow person by his side who knows the cold and the heat.

So he met Hu Ling by chance and found that he was very similar to the girl he once loved.

Whether it is the charm of his speech or his appearance, he is very fascinated.

He didn't say it, but the subordinates around him could naturally see it.

The second uncle has status and power, but he lacks a woman by his side.

It's a pity that Hu Ling doesn't eat hard and soft, even if she gives her money, it's useless.

On the contrary, He Yan found out and played a little trick from it, so that Hu Ling took the initiative to go to the second uncle's side, which led to Hu Ling's identity as the hostess of the western-style building today.

Ye Xinyi was very curious when she heard what he said, "What did you do?"

"You say that if you want one person to be attracted to another, what else is there besides love at first sight and long-term love?"

Ye Xinyi thought about it and blurted out: "Gratitude!"

"There is also a reason for this, in short, there is no harm in bringing Hu Ling to the second uncle. He Yan concluded.

Ye Xinyi didn't pick up his words, but thought of a question.

Hu Ling is someone else's stand-in in the eyes of the second uncle after all, if she finds out one day in the future, will she be sad? Will she regret that she came to the second uncle's side in the first place?

"What are you thinking?" He Yan asked, watching her stare out the window in thought.

"I think, what will Hu Ling do if he finds out?"

"That's not something we should be thinking about. ”

Yes, that's someone else's business, and no matter how much she thinks, she can't be someone else's master.

I just couldn't help but think about what kind of reaction Hu Ling would have if one day he knew.

And in this matter, they also have part of the responsibility.

"Hey, it should be very uncomfortable to be a stand-in for someone. ”

Seeing that she was still immersed in what had just happened and couldn't get out, He Yan gently stroked her belly, "The most important thing for you at the moment is to take care of your body and wait for our child to be born." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Xinyi suddenly remembered a very important thing.

said in a questioning tone: "You honestly confess, since you were a child, you only had Ren Anqing as an ex?"

He Yan has let go of the past, and when they mentioned Ren Anqing, they just regarded her as Beibei's biological mother, and they didn't think about anything else.

"Are the girls who have held hands in the kindergarten counted?" He Yan deliberately leaned over and asked with a wicked smile.

"Go, I'll be serious with you. ”

"Nope. ”

"So, I'm not anyone's stand-in, am I?"

Turn left at the traffic light intersection in front of you is the entrance of the hotel, it is a red light at this time, He Yan stopped the car and turned his head to look at her.

His eyes were sincere, without a hint of adulteration.

Looking at Ye Xinyi's incomparable gentleness, holding her in her hand, she said very seriously: "You are unique." ”

"Where did you learn these words?" Ye Xinyi felt her heart stop for half a beat, and then it beat rapidly.

"Can you learn?

"Why haven't I heard you say it before?"

"Good words don't come out of your mouth all the time. ”

He Yan said, and took the initiative to lean over and kiss the corner of her mouth.

When I wanted to go deeper, the car behind suddenly honked its horn to destroy the atmosphere.

Ye Xinyi looked up embarrassedly and saw that it was already a green light, no wonder she was urging later.

Seeing this, He Yan had no choice but to turn on the left turn signal and drive towards the hotel.

It wasn't until after entering the hotel that Ye Xinyi finally couldn't help laughing, "Haha, I didn't expect you to have today." ”

"Laughing at me?"

"Who are you laughing at if you don't laugh?" Ye Xinyi entered the elevator and was still saying, "Mr. He, who everyone in the company is afraid of, was actually urged to honk the horn today, don't you think it's funny?"

He Yan pressed the elevator, looked up at the monitoring above, came to her, and pinched her nose, "Little girl, if it weren't for the fact that you are pregnant now, you see what I will do with you at night!"

Ye Xinyi believed that he would do it.

But now she is relying on her pregnancy and he can't move herself, so she deliberately straightens her belly, "What? I have two children to protect me, what else can you do with me?"

"Arrogance. ”

Ye Xinyi really has a bit of arrogant capital now, and everyone stared at her stomach before, saying that she didn't bloom.

Now that the flowers are blooming, and there are two more, how many people are red-eyed?

When she returned to her room with a smile, she received a call from Kaki, who asked how she was doing here.

"Very good, we will go back in about two days, don't worry, I'll take care of myself. Ye Xinyi glanced at He Yan, and he raised two fingers towards him, "By the way, is Bei Bei still obedient?"

As he spoke, Beibei's voice sounded next to him, "Mom, I'm very obedient, are my brothers naughty?"

She now puts her two younger brothers in her mouth all day long, in fact, Ye Xinyi doesn't know whether it is a boy or a girl in her belly, whether it is a man or a woman, it is her child, what is the difference?

"Your brothers are also very well-behaved, you remember to listen to your aunt and grandmother. ”

"Got it. ”

After that, he handed the mobile phone to He Yan and talked about today's bidding meeting.

The news of the tender has been received at home, and it is reasonable that he can win it.

After instructing some tedious things, I hung up the phone.

He Yan helped her put the bath water, and when Ye Xinyi took a shower, He Yan always stayed outside the door and listened to the movements inside, and also took care of her to pay attention to the water under her feet.

After coming out to dry the water, He Yan carefully helped her apply pregnancy oil.

Looking at the smooth piece of belly now, Ye Xinyi asked a little worriedly: "I heard that when I get older in the next month, my belly will open up, and it will be ugly." ”

"It's okay, didn't our mom say it works?"

"That's not enough for the two children to hold on like this. Ye Xinyi looked at her stomach and felt that it wouldn't be long before she would be unable to move.

He Yan put down the pregnancy oil in his hand, put on her pajamas, and said, "Then we won't give birth to this child." ”

"What if it's two girls?"

"I look like a patriarch?"

Ye Xinyi shook his head, he really wasn't.

I had a serious conversation about children before, and all He Yan wanted was a common blood child between them.

As for Beibei, he has the obligation to raise her, but when she grows up, she will eventually return to his mother.

At this point, none of them wanted to deprive Bei Bei of the right to get along with his biological mother.

"Don't think about anything, sleep well, we will always get old one day in the future, is it okay?" He Yan helped her cover the quilt, bowed his head and kissed her forehead.

Ye Xinyi pursed her lips and smiled, "It's always you who are reasonable, I can't talk about you now, and I'll fight you when I have a child." ”

"Then I'll wait. ”

After watching her fall asleep, He Yan quietly came out of the room to work hard.

He Yan took Ye Xinyi to stay in Anzhou for two days, and he was really relaxed and relaxed in the past two days.

I went to the site halfway to see that it was an empty plain, and in the future, something else might have to be built here, and it would inevitably become a prosperous place.

Ye Xinyi asked him what he wanted to do in this piece.

He Yan's answer was that he hadn't thought about it yet, but there would always be a place for it, and of course he had a lot of ideas about the feng shui treasure he had said before.

Ye Xinyi couldn't take care of these things, she was also very tired after two days away.

After returning home, I rested for two days before I was relieved a lot, and then I went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the test results, Ye Xinyi's life and rest have always been very regular, and now her diet is also responsible for her family, what can be eaten or not, He Qi remembers it better than her.

I took calcium tablets and other things from the hospital, and when I was looking for my medical insurance card in my bag, I came across the envelope.

Ye Xinyi suddenly remembered that Yu Yang also entrusted her with something very important.

Four days have passed, and Yu Yang has not sent her a message, but Ye Xinyi knows that he should be busy with the engagement.

After thinking about it, I sent a message to George first, asking if he was in the gallery.

George was quick to reply to him.

Coming out of the hospital, Ye Xinyi asked He Qi to go back first, she still had something to do.

He Qi was a little uneasy, "Where are you going alone?" ”

"I really have to go over this by myself, sister, don't worry, I'll go to my master to talk about something, and I'll go back soon." ”

He Qi knew that George, who he had seen at the art exhibition at that time.

"Alright then, call me if there's something. ”

Xiao Chen's car was left with Ye Xinyi and drove her to the gallery.

There used to be a few paintings and signs at the entrance of the gallery, but now they are gone, and it seems a bit empty.

Ye Xinyi went inside and found that more than half of the paintings that were originally hung on the wall were missing, and many of them were wrapped sturdily and put aside, looking as if they were going to be taken away.

"Master?" she shouted.

George whispered an answer inside, and came out after a while, wearing a loose gown, as if he was cleaning.

"What are you busy with?" Ye Xinyi saw that there was dust on his head, and went over to help him take it off.

"It's being subleased out here, and I'm cleaning up the mess. ”

"Transferred out?" Although Ye Xinyi had heard about it before, she didn't expect it to be so soon, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going abroad. ”

Ye Xinyi was stunned, could it be that he had already ......

"Aren't you coming back?"

George smiled and freed up the things on the stool for her to sit down, "My house is still here, and I will come back if I have a chance, isn't there still your precious apprentice?"

Ye Xinyi was silent, she always felt that George's departure this time was not a sudden decision.

I had the envelope in my bag, and I suddenly felt heavy.

"Why don't you speak?" George packed up his things, didn't hear any response, turned around and saw that she was in a daze, "Reluctant to let me go?"

"Of course I can't bear it, I still want my children to learn to draw from you in the future. ”

"What to learn to draw, there is no future. George smiled self-deprecatingly.

Ye Xinyi had never heard him say such frustrating words, even when she was at the lowest point before, she never disliked her painting profession.

She began to hesitate to take the envelope out.

George took out the bits and pieces around him and threw them away, and then brought over a few well-wrapped paintings.

"You painted this with me before, do you want to take it back, or do you plan to let me take it away and sell it?"

Ye Xinyi hadn't touched a paintbrush for a long time, she really didn't know what the paintings she had painted before looked like, so she thought about it and said, "Don't bring it, or don't sell it, my paintings are not worth much, it's better to leave them for you as a souvenir." ”

"Don't underestimate it, your reputation has been beaten, and it is estimated that many people will rob it. ”

"No. ”

There was a sudden moment of silence in the gallery, neither of them knowing what to say.

After a while, a truck pulled up at the side of the road, came over and said something to George, and then moved the contents of the store up.

Halfway, Ye Xinyi wanted to help but was stopped by him, a pregnant woman was busy working here, so forget it.

When everything was loaded into the car, the store suddenly became empty.

Ye Xinyi stood in the center, a lot of fragments flashed in her mind, everything that happened here flashed in her mind little by little, as if it was still yesterday.

"That's it. George came in from outside and stood next to her with a sigh of emotion.

"It's not gone, it's always there. ”

George chuckled softly, looked at her and asked, "Aren't you here today to see me move?"

"Isn't that possible?"

"Okay, but I still know that you have something to say to me. George is a smart man, how can he not see it, "Did Yu Yang ask you to bring me a message?"

Ye Xinyi knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she took out the envelope from her bag and handed it to him.

"He asked me to give it to you with my own hands. ”

George took it with a trembling hand, his eyes fixed on the thin envelope, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
