Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1075 - 1071: Old Best Friends

"Oh?"

Tang Tang walked up to Ruan Hongzhuang and circled around her like a little penguin.

"What’s up? What are you looking at?"

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out and rubbed her little head.

"She’s wondering why you’re not at work today?" Xiao Ya said from the side.

Ruan Hongzhuang blushed upon hearing this.

"Because I have things to do today." Ruan Hongzhuang replied.

Today, she had to accompany her mom for a prenatal check-up.

And since she wasn’t going to the office, Taozi, her secretary, naturally didn’t need to go either.

At this moment, Taozi was nestled in Shen Siyuan’s arms, playing with her phone.

Ruan Hongzhuang turned around and saw that, and walked straight up to tug her ear.

"You seem quite at ease, come over here and help me get things."

"Let go, let go, Siyuan help, why aren’t you stepping in for your wife?" Taozi pretended to plead for mercy while also seeking help from Shen Siyuan.

Tang Tang, seeing this, tried to imitate Ruan Hongzhuang by tugging at Xiao Ya’s ear, but she wasn’t taller than Xiao Ya. She tried tiptoeing for half a day without reaching, which made Xiao Ya laugh.

"Let’s go."

At that moment, Jiang Yingxue came out of the room with her belly out, carrying a bag.

Ruan Hongzhuang saw this, quickly released Taozi, and went to take the bag from her hand.

"Mom, do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, having Ruan Ruan and Taozi with me is enough." Jiang Yingxue said cheerfully.

When she gave birth to Ruan Hongzhuang, she went through a tough time, but now with this one, she can eat and drink, and apart from minor mobility issues, she feels pretty relaxed.

"Alright then, call me if you need anything."

Shen Siyuan said this to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Actually, Shen Siyuan could sense the child’s health condition through Divine Sense, so Jiang Yingxue didn’t need a prenatal check-up at all.

But birthing requires some test reports, so the check-up is unavoidable.

Seeing Jiang Yingxue and the others heading to the door, Tang Tang thought they were going out to play, so she immediately followed like a little tail.

After all, nearly every day since Jiang Yingxue arrived, she’d take Tang Tang downstairs to play, and Tang Tang got used to that.

"Granny Jiang is going to the hospital, you can’t follow them."

Shen Siyuan quickly stepped up and pulled her back, tucking her under his arm.

The little one’s legs flailed in the air, dissatisfied and struggling to get down. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Just then, a voice from outside startled Shen Siyuan, and he quickly put Tang Tang down and went out.

"Mom, Dad, why have you come?"

To see Shen Jianjun and his wife standing by the elevator with big bags, just in time to meet Jiang Yingxue’s group heading to the hospital.

Jiang Yingxue’s group also wondered why they came without saying a word.

"Since you’re close to the due date, I thought I’d come to take care of you since I have nothing to do at home." Huang Huijuan said.

"Take care of me?" Jiang Yingxue’s eyes widened upon hearing that.

"What do you mean by those eyes?" Huang Huijuan glared back.

Seeing them bickering right upon meeting, Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi following Jiang Yingxue secretly laughed.

"I don’t expect you to take care of me, let alone need care from you. Don’t give me trouble, go back where you came from." Jiang Yingxue said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, Huang Huijuan seemed upset, stubbornly said, "You’re talking nonsense, it’s slander. I’ve also given birth, so naturally I know how to take care of people..."

"Oh? →_→"

Jiang Yingxue merely said a simple word, igniting Huang Huijuan. She knows how to rile Huang Huijuan up.

Shen Siyuan, standing aside, couldn’t bear to watch and hurried over to mediate.

"Mom, I’m sure my mom is just concerned about you, she’s got good intentions. She’s also got nothing at home. Even if she can’t take care of people, she can talk to you and keep you company."

Jiang Yingxue nodded upon hearing this, "You’re right."

But Huang Huijuan wasn’t pleased.

"You cheeky boy, what do you mean by saying I can’t take care of people? Didn’t I raise you from a young age?" She said, reaching out to tug Shen Siyuan’s ear.

"What are you trying to do to my son-in-law? Isn’t he speaking the truth?" Jiang Yingxue quickly stepped up to pull Huang Huijuan’s hand away.

"I’m disciplining my son, how is it your business?"

"Of course it’s my business, he’s my son-in-law, I naturally have to protect him." Jiang Yingxue said defiantly.

"Uh..."

Shen Siyuan was speechless, he just wanted to step in and ease the tension, but now he found himself caught in the middle.

He glanced at his dad, looking for help, but Shen Jianjun turned his head aside, not making eye contact, though he couldn’t suppress the smile on his lips.

So Shen Siyuan turned his gaze toward Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi.

Only to find the two huddled together looking at their phones, as if studying something important, not even looking up.

But their quivering shoulders from holding back laughter betrayed them.

Seeing both women clutching an arm each, refusing to let go, Shen Siyuan sighed helplessly, "Let me go, then you can talk it over."

"No."

Both replied in unison.

"I’m your mom, you tell me, are you supporting me or siding with your mother-in-law?" Huang Huijuan asked.

"I’m your mother-in-law, haven’t I treated you well? People shouldn’t forget their roots!" Jiang Yingxue said.

"Uh..."

In reality, they weren’t vying for Shen Siyuan’s support but just using him to win a little contest.

Right then, Shen Siyuan felt his leg being hugged. Upon looking down, who else could it be but Tang Tang?

Jiang Yingxue and Huang Huijuan noticed as well and looked down at Tang Tang.

"Oh~"

Tang Tang gave a silly grin, but her big eyes seemed to speak as if saying, her brother belongs to her.

Jiang Yingxue and Huang Huijuan both laughed and simultaneously let go of Shen Siyuan’s arms.

"Where are you all headed now?" Huang Huijuan asked.

"To the hospital for a prenatal check-up." Jiang Yingxue replied.

"Then I’ll join you." Huang Huijuan said.

"Sure." Jiang Yingxue agreed without a second thought.

"What about us?" Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi quickly asked.

"You stay at home, having your mother-in-law with me is enough." Jiang Yingxue replied.

Taozi blushed upon hearing that, she and Shen Siyuan weren’t even married yet. The remark sounded quite odd.

Shen Jianjun was more direct, handing over his luggage to Shen Siyuan, "I’ll drive them."

Then the three of them got into the elevator, with Jiang Yingxue and Huang Huijuan arm in arm, chatting and laughing, showing none of the tension from before as if it had been everyone’s illusion.

Shen Siyuan stood there, holding a luggage bag in each hand, looking in disbelief at Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi.

Seeing Shen Siyuan’s bewildered look, the two burst into laughter.

"han~"

The little one joined in the laughter upon seeing everyone laughing.

Drool dripped down her mouth.

She then pressed her little face against Shen Siyuan’s pant leg.

Shen Siyuan: ...
