Chapter 579: Chapter 609: Gave Birth to a Daughter
Qin Jiao accepted the kind offer from her uncle-in-law, Sun Jianhua. Besides, he had been through the wringer for the past few years and was already an impressive figure.
Sitting there, he exuded the air of a businessman who was not to be trifled with.
In the world of business, you sometimes needed someone like him to take charge.
After scheduling a meeting with them for the weekend, Qin Jiao began preparing the necessary paperwork for the franchise.
Since the business still needed to be registered, she could use staff from Jiuyi for support roles initially, but she would still have to hire two dedicated specialists.
Of course, for now, the priority was still Jiu Yi’s new autumn collection.
It was when Qin Jiao went to Jiu Yi the next day that she saw Jiang Xiaoyue and learned that Lin Nian had given birth to a girl yesterday.
Jiang Xiaoyue complained to Qin Jiao, "She was supposed to have a natural birth, but it wasn’t time yet, and the baby was in the wrong position, so they had to switch to a C-section. After all that trouble to have the baby, her mother-in-law, who rushed over, took one look at the baby girl and just turned around and left."
She sighed softly. "I know some people prefer sons over daughters, but I’ve never seen anything like this! I’m not a big fan of Lin Nian, but right now, I feel really sorry for her."
"What about Shen Feng?"
"He said he had something to take care of and left, but he hired a helper to look after Lin Nian and the baby. Lin Nian is very weak, though, so she has to stay in the hospital for a few days."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaoyue glanced around and lowered her voice. "I heard that the birth really damaged her body. It’s unclear if she’ll be able to have more children."
Qin Jiao was a little surprised, then said helplessly, "She had a miscarriage back in her third year of high school, and I think she had another one later. It wasn’t easy for her to have this child; her body must have taken a serious toll."
"Yeah, that’s why I get the feeling Shen Feng is really not good to her."
’If a man really cared about a woman, would he let her damage her body like this? Would he leave right after she gave birth?’
’No matter how important something is, you should stay by your wife’s side at a time like this.’
Finally, Jiang Xiaoyue concluded, "I feel like, when it comes to men, you have to find a good one you’re compatible with. Otherwise, it’s better not to find one at all."
Qin Jiao nodded. "Mm, that’s a good point."
’In Qin Jiao’s view, Jiang Xiaoyue’s way of thinking was much more enlightened. Lin Nian was a transmigrator, for crying out loud. She should be more receptive to progressive ideas. How could she be so hung up on Shen Feng, with her whole heart tied to him?’
Qin Jiao felt a brief pang of sadness, but then pushed them from her mind and continued with her preparations for the franchise.
Of course, she would also be sure to balance work and rest, not letting herself get too tired.
Meanwhile, Lin Nian was lying in her hospital bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling. The sound of a baby crying came from beside her, and the helper immediately brought the child over.
"The baby’s hungry. You should feed her."
Lin Nian lifted her head and stared intently at the wailing child, a flash of deep loathing in her eyes.
’Why couldn’t it have been a son?’
’If it were a son, Li Xiaomei wouldn’t have dared to give me such a dirty look on the spot! If it were a son, Shen Feng wouldn’t have just up and left.’
’I really want to just throw this child out, to pretend I never even gave birth!’
But the thought that she might not be able to have children in the future made Lin Nian’s heart ache with worry.
’In the book, Li Xiaomei gave Qin Jiao no end of trouble just because she didn’t have any children. Now, even though I’ve given birth, it’s just a girl, and I might not be able to have any more in the future. What am I going to do?!’
"WAH WAH WAH."
The newborn was wrinkled and crying miserably.
Lin Nian found it all incredibly irritating. Forcing down her frustration, she took the baby, who promptly peed all over her.
Lin Nian: "..."
