Chapter 1349 - 1375: Meddling Too Much
Chapter 1349: Chapter 1375: Meddling Too Much
"Shi Yue, you’re meddling too much."
Lu Xingshen slammed the door and drove away.
Shi Yue watched the trailing exhaust as it faded into the distance, her eyes twitching, forming a dark, sinister arc.
The next day, Jiang Tian went to the hospital with Aunt Zhang for the final check-up.
In just over ten days, she would give birth. Jiang Tian was physically weak, and the doctor feared an early delivery, recommending Jiang Tian to stay in the hospital for labor.
Jiang Tian said, "Let’s wait a few days."
To put it bluntly, she didn’t want to spend those solitary, lonely days in labor, having had enough of people asking,
"Why are you alone? Where’s your husband?"
As she left the hospital, Jiang Tian unexpectedly received a call from Shi Yue,
"Sister Tian, it’s me. I got your number from my uncle’s mom. You don’t mind, do you?"
Jiang Tian said softly, "What’s the matter?"
"The baby in your belly is my cousin, either a brother or sister, right? As the elder sister, I should at least buy some clothes or something, shouldn’t I?"
Jiang Tian wanted to refuse, but Shi Yue said,
"I’m waiting for you at the xx mall, Sister Tian."
Jiang Tian sighed. Actually, she didn’t quite like Shi Yue, but Shi Yue was Mr. Lu’s niece, so she decided not to make things awkward?
So Jiang Tian had to go. After arriving at the mall, Shi Yue pulled Jiang Tian along to buy many things. The two girls struggled to carry them, so they opted for home delivery service.
Shi Yue was quite normal today, not as biting in her speech as she was during yesterday’s dinner. Jiang Tian then thought she was quite nice.
They shopped all afternoon, and Jiang Tian’s belly began to feel uncomfortable. Just as she was about to suggest heading back, Shi Yue exclaimed,
"Oh no, Sister Tian, I forgot something important."
"What is it?"
"My uncle asked me to help send a package, but I have a flight to catch to Sanya soon. What should I do?"
Jiang Tian said, "I’ll send it for him."
Shi Yue clapped her hands,
"Luckily, there’s you. The package is at my uncle’s jurisdiction building guesthouse. You go there now, and it’s under the bedside cabinet in my uncle’s room."
She placed the key in Jiang Tian’s hand, "Here’s the key."
Jiang Tian hesitated,
"It’s Mr. Lu’s room, can I enter?"
"Of course, you can. I can, and you’re his wife, even more so." Shi Yue checked her watch,
"I’m really running late, Sister Tian, you quickly go. I’ll send the address to you later. You must get it today."
Jiang Tian never thought Shi Yue would set her up, her heart wholly considerate of Lu Xingshen. She took a taxi to the jurisdiction building.
Lu Xingshen had been residing in the guesthouse for the past few months, with his own room. Jiang Tian declared herself as Lu Xingshen’s wife, successfully entered the premises, and unlocked the door with the key.
Lu Xingshen’s room had a black-and-white theme, very minimalist. The floor was spotless, clearly indicative of the man’s obsessive cleanliness.
Jiang Tian dared not linger long, she went to the bedside cabinet, reached out, and opened it to get the so-called package.
Inside was a black box, which she had just picked up.
Suddenly, a sharp voice shouted, "Jiang Tian, what are you doing?"
The sudden low shout startled Jiang Tian, causing her small hand to tremble and the box in her hand to drop to the ground.
A crystal ball inside rolled out, shattering everywhere.
For a moment, it was as if the atmosphere in the entire room had frozen solid.
Jiang Tian stared wide-eyed in a stupor, feeling like she’d gotten into trouble.
Just as the thought flashed through her mind, Lu Xingshen rushed over and rudely pushed her aside, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

Tiantian, gently hold on, buy it and it’s yours; will Tiantian have a son or a daughter?
