“I heard from the doctor that you didn’t give up on me despite having only a one in 100,000 chance of waking up. You went to the hospital every morning to take care of me and really gave me that chance.” When the doctor told her all this, Shen Lanzhi liked her daughter-in-law even more.
If it wasn’t for Weiyi, she might not have woken up.
Tears started to fall from Weiyi’s eyes, immediately waking her from her daze. She wiped away her tears. “I’m so happy that you’re awake.”
Shen Lanzhi reached out and brushed away the strands of hair on her cheeks. “How should I make it up to you?”
Zuo Weiyi shook her head. “You don’t have to make it up to me, because it was my—”
“You didn’t do anything wrong.” Shen Lanzhi cut her off. She knew what Weiyi was about to say. “No one expected a car accident to happen. And it didn’t change your true intentions. You couldn’t bear to let me suffer the cold wind, so you didn’t do anything wrong by leaving me in the car.”
Shen Lanzhi continued, “I know that Yuting misunderstood you and made you suffer a lot.”
“No, he has been very good to me, actually.” At the time, he just couldn’t accept the truth and didn’t know how to deal with it. But after coming to Z Country, she could not deny his sincerity to make up to her.
That was why she never blamed him.
It was the same for her mom’s death—she felt far more than resentment, especially when she knew that the death was caused by people.
“Come on guys, it wasn’t easy for all of us to get here. Why do you have to be like this? Weiyi is pregnant and crying is not good for the children in her stomach.”
Shi Le could not help but speak up when saw how heartbreaking the scene had changed to.
Shen Lanzhi quickly said, “Right, right. Let’s sit down and talk.”
The group of people sat down on the sofa. Everyone’s gaze fell on Zuo Weiyi and her slightly protruding stomach.
“If I calculated correctly, it’s been more than four months, right?” Shen Lanzhi looked at Weiyi’s stomach tenderly. She was looking forward to the birth of her grandson.
Zuo Weiyi nodded as she also looked down at her slightly protruding belly. “Yes, the last time I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that they were twins.”
Everyone was surprised.
“Twins?!” Shi Nuannuan exclaimed. Every time she walked on the streets and saw other people’s twin children, she had always felt that there was something magical about them—to think that it was possible to have two children who looked exactly like each other in this world!
“Yes.” Zuo Weiyi smiled and nodded. She knew that Shi Yuting was the son and heir to the family, so she did not know if Shen Lanzhi and Shi Le would mind her asking them if they had any preference over the babies’ gender.
“I just don’t know if they will be boys or girls.”
“It doesn’t matter. Even if these two are girls, you and Yuting are still young. You can have another child!” Shi Le said.
He wasn’t that patriarchal of a person. But with the huge family business of the Shi family, he still hoped to have an heir.
Of course, if they really couldn’t have a son, then the heir would have to be one of his great-granddaughters. However, in that case, then the name of the Shi family business would have to change to the surname of one of his great-granddaughters’ husband.
Therefore, he still hoped for a boy.
“That’s right. You and Yuting are still so young. Don’t worry.” Shen Lanzhi echoed.
Zuo Weiyi contemplated Shen Lanzhi and Shi Le’s words.
