Chapter 642 - 672: Deliberately Mentioning the Clothing Company

"He said to call him when I’m done with work. It’s definitely not for anything good, so I’m not calling!" Shen Yi said nonchalantly as he started the car.

Right now, nothing in the world was more important than taking his wife for her prenatal checkup.

Besides, it wasn’t as if he felt any strong father-son connection to Shen Zhengfeng anymore.

’Unless Shen Zhengfeng got sick and the family couldn’t afford medical bills... but that’s impossible. Didn’t he have money to give Shen Feng to start a business?’

So Shen Yi didn’t give Shen Zhengfeng a second thought. As for Qin Jiao, she didn’t have a good impression of the man either.

But he was Shen Yi’s biological father, after all. Shen Yi could point out his flaws, but it wasn’t Qin Jiao’s place to say anything.

So Qin Jiao changed the subject. The couple was growing more and more in sync, and they could talk endlessly about anything, from their daily lives to their work.

Qin Jiao brought up something new. "Oh, by the way," she said, "I received an invitation to a symposium for the city’s entrepreneurs. It seems to be about revitalizing North City’s economy. Did you get one?"

"I got one too. It’s for next week, and I happen to be free. Jiao Jiao, do you want to go?"

"This is a good thing. We should show our support. Let’s go together then."

"Deal."

Qin Jiao’s belly was bigger now, making it a bit inconvenient for her, but Shen Yi saw how much she wanted to go. Since he was going with her anyway, it wouldn’t be a problem.

The young couple went to the hospital for the prenatal checkup and then headed over to Jiu Yi Restaurant together.

They had completely forgotten all about Shen Zhengfeng.

Shen Zhengfeng waited at home all day, full of self-importance, but the call never came. He was instantly furious!

Li Xiaomei said from beside him, "Zhengfeng, don’t be angry. Perhaps that boy, Xiao Yi, is just too busy and forgot, or maybe he hasn’t finished work yet. His Jiuyi Clothing Company is quite large now; he must have a lot on his plate."

Li Xiaomei had mentioned the clothing company on purpose. One had to remember, it was Shen Zhengfeng who had originally given that company to Shen Yi and Du Liya!

Li Xiaomei had been bitter about it for a very long time!

Shen Zhengfeng remembered this as well, and his expression softened slightly. "Indeed," he said. "The only reason Xiao Yi is so successful now is because I laid such a good foundation for him back then. Oh, right, that girl Qin Jiao is pregnant. As an elder, you should go see her. Here’s the plan: tomorrow morning, we’ll bring a few things and go check on the young couple."

Li Xiaomei was taken aback. "I have to go too?"

"What, are you still going to hold a grudge against the younger generation? Xiao Mei, you need to be more magnanimous. No matter what, Shen Yi is my own son, the child Qin Jiao is carrying is my own grandchild, and you are my wife. That makes us a family! It’s settled. We’re going together tomorrow!"

Seeing the non-negotiable look on Shen Zhengfeng’s face, Li Xiaomei had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

’But inside, she was seething. The incident at Jiu Yi Restaurant that day had been utterly humiliating. If she shamelessly showed up at their door now, wouldn’t that wretched girl Qin Jiao just laugh her head off at her expense!’

’She’ll be so damn smug!’

She was vexed by these thoughts, but in the end, the prospect of Xiao Feng earning big money won out.

But as luck would have it, an emergency came up at Jiuyi the very next morning. Shen Yi saw that Qin Jiao wasn’t feeling well, so he told her not to move and drove to the company to check on things himself.

By the time Qin Jiao woke up and started eating breakfast, she heard a knock at the door.

When she opened the door, she found Shen Zhengfeng and Li Xiaomei standing on her doorstep, dressed rather formally and carrying several bags.
