Xiao Mei was only nine months pregnant and was not due yet. Zhang Jingye was afraid of an accident, so he rushed her to the Dongcheng Hospital's gynecology department to wait for delivery. He asked Auntie Li to accompany him 24 hours a day and take good care of him, afraid that an accident would happen. He visited the hospital once a day. Even when he was at the company, he kept calling Auntie Li and Doctor Li to ask about Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei was admitted to the hospital to wait for labor, and Auntie Li accompanied her. Only Dasheng was left in the huge South Hill Villa. He knew the heavy responsibility and did not dare to leave without permission. However, how much he wanted to visit Xiao Mei in the hospital. How could a husband not be by his wife's side when she was giving birth? But now, he couldn't. Xiao Mei had become Zhang Jingye's wife, so it was only right for Zhang Jingye to accompany her. However, he had become the security guard for Zhang Jingye and had nothing to do with Xiao Mei. Thinking of this, he felt both humiliated and resentful. He cursed in his heart, Zhang Jingye, you're a wolf in sheep's clothing. Do you think you can bully people like this just because you have money? However, despite his anger and the reality, he was still cautious. He was afraid that Zhang Jingye and Auntie Li would see through him. He knew that this was the last time he and his wife could endure humiliation. After Xiao Mei gave birth and received the last payment, she would be completely liberated and could go home. If he did not renew his contract at the end of the year, he could resign and go home. This way, the family could have a happy reunion this year. However, when he thought about how his son, Yu Lang, was no longer around, and the family could no longer be reunited, what was the use of having more money? She felt sad again.
Dasheng still remembered Xiao Mei. Every time Auntie Li occasionally returned to the villa from the hospital to get something, he could not help but ask,"Has Miss Zheng given birth?" "Not yet." Auntie Li replied. Then, she instructed him,"Miss Zheng and I won't be in the villa for the next few days. You're the only one in such a big courtyard. You have to be vigilant and take care of the villa. You can't sleep until dawn.”"I know," replied the student."I get up two or three times every night to patrol.”
Xiao Mei stayed in the hospital for half a month before she finally gave birth. It was a boy, fair and chubby, just like Yu Lang. Zhang Jingye had a son in his old age. He thought that his family and career would have a successor, so he was even happier. He stayed in the hospital for three days and did not go to work. He bent down and gently touched the child's small hands, small face, and calves. He couldn't help but pick the child up and kiss him. Looking at him, he was very happy. He named his son "Jiye". The meaning was very clear. He wanted his son to inherit his business and career when he grew up.
Zhang Jingye was happy, but he understood that hiring a married woman to carry out a pregnancy was against the law of the country. Even if he paid and signed the agreement, it was still illegal. Therefore, other than the people in the industry who already knew, he did not tell anyone else. He did not even tell his wife for the time being. He was afraid that she would come to the hospital to see the child and spill the beans when she went back. He wanted to wait for Xiao Mei to leave and things would calm down before telling her slowly. Occasionally, he would run into doctors, nurses, and other acquaintances in the hospital. He would only say that his relatives had come to the hospital to give birth, and he would come to take a look. He had also repeatedly instructed Auntie Li to keep her mouth shut and not to say anything to prevent the news from leaking out.
Three days later, Doctor Li examined the baby and Xiao Mei. After confirming that both mother and son were safe, he asked them to be discharged.
Xiao Mei returned to the villa. Auntie Li followed Zhang Jingye's advice and the doctor's requirements for the nutrition of the pregnant woman and the baby. She re-set Xiao Mei's three meals menu, adding nutritious meals and soup. She also increased the number of meals from three to five meals a day and asked the restaurant to send them every two and a half hours. When the restaurant staff asked why there was a sudden increase in food, she only said that Mr. Stanley needed it. As soon as the food arrived, Dasheng immediately called Auntie Li. Auntie Li immediately went over to get it and gave it to Xiao Mei while it was hot. Due to the good diet, Xiao Mei's milk was very sufficient. Xiao Jiye grew very fast. In less than a month, he had gained four pounds. His eyes already knew how to follow people.
Little Jiye was almost a month old and was gradually able to get to know his mother. When he cried, no one could coax him. He continued to cry and the more he cried, the more he cried. However, when he was in Xiao Mei's arms, he immediately stopped crying. Xiao Mei was also more attached to the child. Every day, she held Xiao Jiye in her arms, touched his little hands, feet, and kissed his little face. She looked at him carefully again and again to see which parts resembled her and which parts resembled Dasheng. She was secretly happy in her heart. Little Jiye looked more and more like Yu Lang: big eyes, high nose, small mouth, white and tender skin, black and shiny hair, and Yu Lang when he was young was exactly the same. She couldn't help but think of Yu Lang again, her cute and miserable son. Sometimes, she would secretly cry while hugging Little Jiye. Afraid that Auntie Li would see her, she would secretly wipe her tears away.
Thinking deeper, she even felt that Xiao Jiye was Yulang's reincarnation. She thought to herself," My son, how much you wanted to see your mother before you left. However, your mother was locked up in Nanshan Villa by that old thief, Zhang Jingye. She couldn't go out or go home. You finally left without seeing your mother. You have regrets, but your mother has even more regrets." My son, I've let you down! However, her mother had her own difficulties. She was hired and had no choice! Perhaps you've already understood your mother's difficulties and forgiven her. That's why you finally came to look for your mother again and wanted to continue being her son. Look at how much Little Jiye looks like his brother. He is Yulang's reincarnation. There is no mistake at all.
However, when she thought about how she would be leaving the Zhang family in a few days, leaving her stepfather and returning to her hometown in Northern Jiangsu alone, she might never see her son again. Her heart, liver, and internal organs trembled and bled. She simply could not imagine and accept this cruel reality. A son had died not long ago, and now she was going to abandon another son. As their biological mother, could she continue to live? Which son didn't want her to carry him for ten months? Which son wasn't a part of her body?!
A dead son could not be resurrected, but how could she bear to abandon a living son? She had lost both her sons. What was the point of bringing 400,000 yuan home? At this moment, she remembered that Zhang Jingye wanted to hire a nanny for Little Jiye after she left. A few days ago, he had told Auntie Li to register at the housekeeping agency and find a gentle and experienced middle-aged woman in her forties to be a nanny. The salary could be as high as five thousand. Instead of finding someone else to be a nanny, she might as well stay behind and be a nanny for Little Jiye. She only wanted a salary of 5,000 yuan and did not want more. Moreover, her advantage was obvious. She had breast milk to feed her child, while others could only feed her with formula and milk. How could substitutes be better than a mother's milk? Moreover, the country also advocated breast-feeding. The mother's milk was nutritious and comprehensive, which was conducive to the healthy growth of the baby. More importantly, she was the child's mother. She had been pregnant for ten months and had given birth to him in one day. She had gone through many hardships to give birth to him. He was the flesh that had fallen from her body. Mother and son were connected by heart. She would love and protect the child with all her heart. This was something that no other nanny could do. She thought that her reason was sufficient and reasonable. As long as she took the initiative to bring it up, Zhang Jingye would definitely agree. Therefore, without discussing it with Dasheng, she decided in her heart.
Two days later, Zhang Jingye paid the third payment of 400,000 yuan to Xiao Mei in one go and said,"The day after tomorrow, Xiao Jiye will be one month old, and our agreement will expire. Therefore, I plan to treat you and Miss Jin to a meal at the restaurant tomorrow to thank you for your great help in giving me a son in my old age, a family, and a career. I've already asked someone to book a train ticket for you to go home. After you eat, bring your things and ask the driver and Miss Jin to send you directly to the station. Miss Jin is your classmate from the same hometown. You two should talk nicely.”
Xiao Mei immediately cried when she heard that. She said,"Mr. Stanley, I can't bear to part with this child. He's the flesh that fell from my body when I was pregnant for ten months! Didn't you want to hire a nanny? Let me stay and be a nanny for Little Jiye. I have breastfed him, and Xiao Jiye is my son. I will do my best to take care of him and love him more than they do.”
Zhang Jingye shook his head and said firmly and coldly,""This is absolutely impossible. We have to act according to the agreement. The day after tomorrow, the agreement will expire and you will be fired. As for who to hire as a nanny and what to feed the child, that's something I have to seriously consider. I believe that I will make the right choice after careful consideration. You don't have to worry about it. I've already hired Jiye's nanny. It's a widow in her forties, Sister Liu. She's here to help her son go to university. She'll be coming to work tomorrow. I've met her and even talked to her. I understand her situation and am very satisfied. I've signed the contract.”
"But I'm Little Jiye's mother. No matter who comes to be a nanny, can they be more dedicated and devoted to him than his mother?”
"Miss Zheng, I can't admit that you're Jiye's mother. Jiye's mother can only be my wife, Lee Victoria. He doesn't have a second mother."
"Your wife? May I ask how old Madam Zhang is? Could she still have children? Jiye won't believe you even when he grows up.”
"You're wrong. Being a mother has nothing to do with how old she is or whether she gave birth to him. "For example, I didn't make any of our company's products. They were all made by the workers, but these products all belong to me, not the workers, because I have already paid the workers.”
"What are you talking about? Are you going to deprive me of my right to be a stepmother just because you paid me?”
"It's not that you're deprived of it. It's just that you don't have this right to begin with. Jiye is a descendant of the Zhang family. He only belongs to the Zhang family, only to me and Lee Victoria. You're just my employee, not someone from the Zhang family, so you don't have the right to be the stepmother. Miss Zheng, you have to be clear about your identity and your responsibilities: I only hired you to have children. -- You also agree with this. Therefore, you don't have the task of being the child's mother. Now that the child is born, your mission is complete. My remuneration has also been paid off, and our employment relationship has been terminated. From the day after tomorrow, you are no longer my employee, and I am no longer your boss. You have nothing to do with me and the child.”Zhang Jingye spoke very clearly and very resolutely.
"No, Mr. Stanley, you can't be so heartless. No matter what, Xiao Jiye is my flesh and blood! I can't leave him. I want to stay and be his nanny, raise him carefully, take care of him, and watch him grow up day by day. My child! You're still so young and still need your mother's milk. How can you leave your mother?”Xiao Mei burst into tears. She could not bear to part with him.
"Miss Zheng, I understand how you feel. But I'll say it again. Our agreement will expire the day after tomorrow. Once it's terminated, you'll be fired. I'm telling you right now, I'm not hiring you anymore. I've already hired a nanny. Her name is Sister Liu and she'll be coming to work the day after tomorrow. Therefore, you must leave here the day after tomorrow and leave your career. This is my decision. There is no room for discussion. Your bedroom will be for Sister Liu. It's close to my bedroom. I can often see the child, play with him, and watch him grow up day by day. In the future, he will inherit the Zhang Corporation and become the next CEO of the Zhang Corporation.”
This time, Xiao Mei was in despair. She sat on the ground and cried,
"Son! Although I really want to be a mother, your father is too heartless. I can't do anything if he refuses. Jiye, my son, it's not that I want to leave you behind and am unwilling to feed you and raise you. It's that I really have no choice! Mom will leave the South Hill Villa the day after tomorrow, leaving you. But, Mom will never leave Guangzhou! For you, I will continue to work in Guangzhou and come to visit you when I have time. Even if they don't let me in, I'll always stand guard at the gate, or visit you in kindergarten, primary school, middle school, or university in the future. "I don't believe that when you grow up and become successful, you won't acknowledge me as your mother just because I'm poor and from the countryside. I was hired by your father. Mr. Stanley, listen up. There is no such heartless son in the world, and there is no such reason for him to be so inhumane!……”
Xiao Mei no longer begged Zhang Jingye to let her stay as a nanny for Jiye. She knew that begging was useless for a heartless person like Zhang Jingye. It was impossible because Zhang Jingye had already made up his mind to cut off the mother-son relationship between her and Jiye. He would only recognize his wife, Lee Victoria, as his mother. When he grew up, he would become a complete heir to the Zhang Group, completely unrelated to his biological mother. Even if he had doubts, could a frail old woman in her sixties still give birth? Zhang Jingye would not tell him who his biological mother was, or who had carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. She was in complete despair. She cried all the way back to her bedroom, threw herself on the bed, and cried her heart out.
This time, Zhang Jingye was stunned. He sat there in a daze, unable to do anything. He originally wanted to use the agreement to solve the problem and fire Zheng Xiaomei at the end of the term. He thought that this was a logical and justified thing. He had used this method to deal with countless people and matters in the company, and there had never been an accident. She didn't expect that family ties would be difficult to break. Zheng Xiaomei and Xiao Jiye had a deep mother-son relationship. They were connected by blood and flesh, so it was difficult to cut them off. However, he still believed that the law could not be forgiven. The agreement was the law to them. He could only fire her according to the agreement and send her back to her hometown in Northern Jiangsu, leaving Nanshan Villa, Guangzhou, and her small business. Only then could he stop Zheng Xiaomei from fighting with him for his son. His son belonged to him alone. He had bought him for a million yuan. Although Zheng Xiaomei was pregnant and gave birth to a child, she had taken a million yuan from him. It was equivalent to selling the child to him. The child had nothing to do with her.
