Chapter 312 - 301: Second Update on Childbirth
In October, the weather in the capital had already cooled down. Li Xianglu had another check-up and confirmed that she was expecting twins, who were both very healthy. With only six months of pregnancy, her belly looked as though she was about to give birth any moment.
Li Jianqing had reached eight months of pregnancy, with just over a month until delivery, and her belly was not small either. She had started resting at home since last month, often getting the old man’s driver to take her to the quadrangle for a free meal and drink, before her father would pick her up after work in the afternoon.
Sister Xing alone was clearly not enough help. So Xu Wu arranged for a girl around seventeen or eighteen to join in. The girl’s name was Leng Qing, and fitting her name, she often kept a cold expression. However, she was very efficient at her tasks, could drive, and even knew some martial arts. Whenever Li Xianglu went out shopping or for walks, she would accompany her.
With Leng Qing there, things at Qin Xi’s house became much more relaxed, but at work, there was no downtime; the usual business affairs and the plans he and Xu Wu had made in private.
Back when the bomb incident happened at the great hall, Qin Xi took Li Xianglu to a hollow in the mountains on the outskirts near Beihai in the capital, where Lao Qi had found some particularly unusual ore, which later turned out to be a gold mine.
Back in the ’80s, there wasn’t any concept of contracting the land, but concerning the old coal mine in the hollow, Qin Xi managed to get the piece of land to become enterprise-owned.
Now that Xu Wu had returned, they discussed it and decided to let Xu Wu develop that area.
As for how to divide the profits, the two didn’t talk about it—it was completely unnecessary. Xu Wu’s trust in Qin Xi was somewhat strange. Why would he be so assured and trust him with the gold mine without trying to take any for himself?
In fact, Qin Xi wasn’t just being trusting; he knew the Xu Wu of his past life.
Xu Wu was a man who valued friendship more than life itself, and grudges were no different.
