Chapter 555: Chapter 553: Several Pounds Heavy Diamond_1

The gathering included the old master, Mrs. Xia, Xia Jiehao, several brothers and sisters-in-law, Lu Fan, Taozi, Lin Sisi, and others... Essentially, as long as they were familiar faces, they all came.

"How come all of you are here?" Xia Ningxing asked in surprise and delight, her face beaming with smiles as she looked at everyone.

Laughing, they all chorused, "We heard you were back, how could we not come to see you!"

"Xiaxia, you’ve been gone for several months, we’ve missed you so much!" Taozi and a few other girls whined playfully.

"I’ve missed you too, come on, I’ve brought some specialities from the island, let’s all have some," Xia Ningxing said, taking out things from her bag and inviting everyone to join in.

The island’s specialty was oranges, and although they were small in size, they were sweet down to the core.

"Mom, have an orange," Xia Ningxing said as she peeled one for Mrs. Xia.

"I don’t want oranges, I just want you!" Mrs. Xia said tearfully, gazing at her daughter she hadn’t seen for so many days, and couldn’t help but wrap her arms around her, "Bao’er, I’ve missed you so much!"

She spoke emotionally and with a choke in her voice about her longing.

Xia Ningxing felt a pang in her heart and gently patted her mother’s back, "Mom, I’ve missed you too."

"Tell me, have you been doing well on the island these past months?" Mrs. Xia asked with concern.

When she heard that her daughter was going to the island, she was actually against it, but considering that a girl needed her husband by her side when pregnant, and the climate and soil there were suitable for nurturing a fetus, she had no choice but to suppress her worries and let her go.

"Mom, don’t worry, with Lu and Nanny Wu taking great care of me, how could it not be good!" Xia Ningxing comforted her, gently patting her back and speaking reassuringly.

"As long as it’s been good, that’s all that matters," Mrs. Xia replied with a sob, nodding her head.

Mrs. Xia and the others stayed at the old house for lunch before leaving.

When leaving, Mrs. Xia held Xia Ningxing’s hand and said, "Bao’er, once I’ve sorted out the company’s affairs, I’ll come to the old house every day to be with you."

Xia Ningxing sighed, "Mom, you really don’t have to worry so much about me. I’ll be fine. The old house is so far from the city center, if you go back and forth every day, it will be tiring for you, and I’m already feeling tired on your behalf."

"What’s a little fatigue? Bao’er, you are my life; I must ensure you’re safe through your pregnancy," Mrs. Xia stated firmly.

"Mom, there’s no need for you to come every day, why not just stay here?" Lu Tingli spoke up at this point.

Having grown up with Xia Ningxing since they were children, he naturally understood just how precious she was to her mother.

"This, how could I impose like that?" Although Mrs. Xia feigned embarrassment, deep down she very much agreed with this idea.

But then, it wasn’t customary for a mother-in-law to live in her daughter’s mother-in-law’s house.

She couldn’t help but inwardly sigh.

Lu Tingli knew her concerns all too well, "Don’t worry, Mom, please feel free to stay. I’m sure Grandfather would also be very happy to have you move in."

"Exactly! You’re absolutely right!" the old master immediately agreed.

Being parents themselves, they naturally understood Mrs. Xia’s worries.

"Then I shall take up the offer!" Mrs. Xia said, maintaining her composure but inwardly she was thrilled.

She had long wished to be by her pregnant daughter’s side every day.

Once everyone had left, the old master couldn’t help but glare at Lu Tingli, "I’ve heard there’s been a spy at the research institute, and then you let Xingxing take such a risk, are you even a man?"

"What if something had happened to Xingxing and the child? Did you even think about that?"

"I really want to beat you to death!"

The old master was ultimately a public official, so the matter was kept under wraps and didn’t spread widely, but he still found out.

Knowing he was at fault, Lu Tingli hung his head and didn’t talk back to the old master.

But Xia Ningxing was the one who got anxious:

"Grandpa, don’t blame Lu, blame me. At first, Lu firmly disagreed, but I was the one who insisted on doing this." She quickly explained, clearing the matter from any association with Lu Tingli.

Upon hearing this, the old master couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, "Xingxing, it was really too risky of you to do that. Promise me that you’ll never do something like this again, okay?"

"I won’t do it again, Grandpa," Xia Ningxing obediently agreed with the elderly man.

The old master was immediately soothed into smiles, "Xingxing is the best behaved."

No sooner had he spoken than the little one inside Xia Ningxing’s tummy couldn’t help but squirm around.

The old master, noticing this, smiled even more widely and said, "The baby is also the best behaved."

"Didn’t we agree not to bully Mommy?" Lu Tingli glared at the little one inside her belly, his eyes narrowing dangerously, and added, "Or do you want to come out and get a thrashing from me? Hmm?"

Seeing him start to threaten again, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

The old master couldn’t resist rolling his eyes at him, "If you dare to hit my great-grandson or great-granddaughter, I’ll crack your skull open!"

Lu Tingli: "..."

The little baby in the belly: "Hehehe, I’ve got Great-Grandpa to protect me! Hit me and let Grandpa crack your skull open!"

Xia Ningxing, looking at Lu Tingli’s constipated expression, burst out laughing uncontrollably.

At that moment, the old master took another look at Xia Ningxing’s rotund belly, smiling as he said, "It’s almost eight months, right?"

Xia Ningxing shifted her gaze and nodded to him, "Yes, Grandpa, just three days shy of eight months."

"Then in another two months, this old man will be able to meet my great-grandson or great-granddaughter," he said, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Even though Tao Tao had already given birth to a great-granddaughter for the Lu Family.

Yes, Tao Tao had a girl, who was also the Lu Family’s first great-granddaughter.

So if Xia Ningxing had a boy, he would be the eldest great-grandson, and if a girl, she would be ranked second.

"Yes, in another two months, we will meet," Xia Ningxing said as she lowered her eyes and touched her abdomen.

At eight months pregnant, she needed to control her diet and increase her exercise to prevent the baby from growing too large for a natural birth.

Coincidentally, there was a neglected flower bed in the courtyard, so Xia Ningxing decided to make use of it for exercise.

Early this morning, Xia Ningxing got up, took up her tools, and began to turn the soil in the flower bed, preparing to plant some roses from Country A, which are top-notch in the world and incredibly beautiful.

While turning the soil, Xia Ningxing suddenly noticed a flash of silver light in the drab dirt.

She took a closer look and then...

Holy shit!

It looked like a diamond!

And this diamond was as big as her fist, weighing at least several pounds!

Xia Ningxing loved money, and upon seeing such a large diamond, she quickly bent over to pick it up.

After cleaning the dirt off, Xia Ningxing held the diamond in the sunlight to examine it closely, and sure enough, it was a real diamond!

And judging by its quality, it was definitely of a regal level among diamonds!

I’m rich!

I’m rich!

And it’s a windfall from heaven!
