Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (39)
Chapter 39 Cover
The day after the kidnapping incident, Zhou Shuo rushed to City B with his lawyer and took over some follow-up negotiations with the police.
As Ji Qin’s cousin, Song Yan knew that Ji Qin had no major problems except for some skin injuries, but he still made a special trip to express his condolences.
The two parties met at the entrance of the hospital, and Zhou Shuo nodded to Song Yan as a greeting.
Song Yan was a little depressed. Although Zhou Shuo didn’t talk much when he was a child, the relationship between the two was still good. Even when Xia Lin ignored him, Zhou Shuo would secretly send him a message or something. .
But now, Zhou Shuo’s reticence gradually revealed a hint of inexplicable coldness. He didn’t even give a cold greeting when they met him. At most, he just nodded implicitly. It seemed like Xia Liang’s behavior.
Thinking of Xia Liang, Song Yan couldn’t help but complain: “Let me tell you, what is your brother Liang busy with now? He can’t see anyone all day long, and he didn’t even attend last week’s investor forum. , I always send you to send people away, tell me the truth, what is he doing recently, sitting at home incubating eggs?”
Zhou Shuo originally had no intention of answering, but when he heard the last sentence, he raised his eyes and glanced at Song Yan in surprise.
He subconsciously thought that Xia Liang’s pregnancy had reached Song Yan’s ears, and he was wondering whether it was Du Lanze or Ke Mei who said it. But then I thought about it, with Song Yan’s IQ, if he really knew about this matter, he wouldn’t say it so carelessly and carelessly, but more like a slap in the face.
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Song Yan originally said it casually, but Zhou Shuo’s reaction was a bit unexpected. He immediately raised his eyebrows and stared at him with interest, as if he wanted to learn from Zhou Shuo’s expressionless poker face. Something could be seen on his face.
Zhou Shuo knew that he was far from Song Yan’s opponent when it came to discussing ghosts and thoughts, so he avoided the other’s probing eyes and said, “Brother Liang has something else for me to do, so I’ll leave first.” and left in a hurry.
Song Yan touched her chin and watched Zhou Shuo go away, then took out her cell phone and called Xia Lin.
”I’m busy. If you have anything to say, please tell me.” Xia Lin’s absent-minded voice came from the other end of the phone.
”Honey,” Song Yan said with a smile, “Why don’t we take some time to go to D City to visit our brother?”
Xia Lin was silent for a moment and said, “Although I can’t see your face, why do I feel that your expression must be so mean now?”
”How can there be…” Song Yan subconsciously touched his face with a guilty conscience.
”You don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What’s more, you’ve been jealous since you saw my brother since you were a child. You would take the initiative to come and visit him. You definitely don’t have any good intentions.”
”My wife still understands me,” Song Yan stopped showing off and simply told the truth, “I just met Zhou Shuo.”
”So what?”
”I suspect… your brother hasn’t come out to see anyone recently. He is probably hiding at home to raise his baby.”
”…??” Xia Lin digested it for a long time before remembering that Du Lanze once said that Omega is easy to conceive, and suddenly took a breath of cold air, “Are you sure?”
”I’m not sure, so I wanted to discuss with you whether I should care about our brother.”
”This… Xia Lin was troubled for a moment, “With my brother’s character, he might not want others to know. ”
Song Yan thought for a while and suggested: “Honey, how about… you make a phone call to test it out? We just have an idea. If he really doesn’t want us to know, we can continue to pretend not to know.”
The protagonist Xia Liang, who was being gossiped about by the two, was currently on the phone with Du Lanze emotionally.
”No, I won’t change doctors!” Xia Liang said categorically, “Dr. Ke, who came to examine me last time, was very good. I don’t need any of your ABO family’s most honored doctors to come and see me in person.”
”Xia Liang, listen to me,” Du Lanze’s voice sounded a little flattering, “Now it is known over there that you have the talent of ‘dream’, and you are very likely to become a once-in-a-century dream master. …”
”Why do they know this? Did you say that?”
”This… this is also one of my job responsibilities. If I don’t report the knowledge and I’m found out later, I will be dismissed and investigated, right?”
”I have no right to comment on your job responsibilities, but it is my right to accept their inspection.”
”Xia Liang, don’t be so excited,” Du Lanze advised earnestly, “They will send the doctor here in person because they value you very much. And if you think about it, giving birth to a child can be big or small. If everything goes well Everything is easy to say. If there is a difficult delivery, can the hospital here handle it? Do they have any doctors who have delivered babies for men? This kind of thing should be left to an experienced doctor to compare the safety, right? ”
Xia Liang finally fell silent, and after a while he said: “After that, what will they do with us aliens who have been genetically mapped?”
”We are not an exclusive race,” Du Lanze said warmly. “If you are willing, you can move to our place and accept the same living treatment as the locals. Especially for a rare dreamer like you. , if you are willing to serve the government or the military, the country will give you more favorable treatment.”
”Du Lanze,” Xia Liang said calmly, “You are completely acting like a lobbyist now, do you know that?”
”Hey, did you see through it?” Du Lanze laughed to himself, “To be honest, the new task assigned to me by the organization is to allow your family to immigrate there. Please understand that I can’t help myself.”
”Our family?” Xia Liang took a long time to understand, and then realized that the family Du Lanze meant was him, Zhou Shuo, and the child in his belly. She was dumbfounded, “I said, have you misunderstood something?” Now, Zhou Shuo and I… it was a complete accident, and this child is also an accident. After giving birth to the child, I will still return to my original life, so I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to complete your mission.”
Du Lanze wanted to give some more advice, but Xia Lin’s call came in. Xia Liang had no intention of arguing with him anymore, so he said: “Sorry, I have something to do, so I’ll hang up first.”
Then he answered Xia Lin’s call and said in a gentle tone: “Why did you suddenly remember to call me?”
”Brother,” Xia Lin said, “This weekend, Song Yan and I plan to go to D City to visit his parents.”
”Well, it should be.”
”Where do you live now? Let’s stop by to visit you?”
Xia Liang was silent for a moment.
Xia Lin asked tentatively: “Brother?”
”I happen to be on a business trip this weekend, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up.” Xia Liang replied without changing his expression.
”…” Xia Lin was a little speechless. He knew his brother was lying, but he couldn’t expose him face to face.
”Is there anything else?” Xia Liang’s voice sounded a little cold.
”No…no more.” For a moment, Xia Lin felt as if Xia Liang had seen through his intentions. He immediately regretted why he followed Song Yan to gossip about his brother, and said bravely, “What, let’s go see it later. You’re fine.”
”Let’s talk about it later.” Xia Liang hung up the phone, glanced down at her slightly protruding belly, put her forehead on her forehead and sighed deeply – she might not be able to cover up this matter.
