Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 481 - 462: The Old Lady Wants to See Her
Night fell, and Lin Banxia lay on the bed, scrolling through various pieces of information about pregnancy.
Suddenly, a knock came at the door, followed closely by Meng Jiahui’s voice: "Sister, Sister, are you there?"
Lin Banxia quickly got up and opened the door, seeing Meng Jiahui standing at the doorway in her cute school uniform.
"Jiahui, you’re back from school!" Lin Banxia felt an inexplicable fondness for her younger sister.
"Yeah, Sister, my dad is coming back today. In a while, I’ll take you downstairs to meet him." Meng Jiahui seemed very concerned about her father’s relationship with Lin Banxia.
"Mom has already called me, and I’m looking forward to meeting your dad too!"
"You can call him Dad in the future! We’re sisters, after all!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Lin Banxia nodded. "Alright, let’s follow Mom’s lead and see what she says later!"
A little after seven, the whole family returned, and Meng Jiahui’s father, Meng Bowen, had also arrived home.
He had just returned from a lecture trip and had already heard from Cheng Roning about locating her daughter.
Mu Jiyang sat on the couch and smiled at the bashful Lin Banxia, saying, "You can call him Uncle Meng too. That’s what I call him!"
Meng Bowen sized up Lin Banxia briefly before gently saying to Cheng Roning, "Banxia really resembles you!"
Cheng Roning smiled with relief. "She does, doesn’t she? She looks a lot like me when I was younger. Banxia, you can just call him Uncle Meng, same as your brother does!"
Meng Jiahui pouted. "I was hoping Sister could call him Dad together with me!"
Cheng Roning patted her youngest daughter’s head. "Calling him Uncle is just as good. We’re all family here!"
"Indeed, Banxia, welcome home. From now on, think of this as your home too. No need to hold back!" Meng Bowen said warmly to Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia looked at him gratefully. "Thank you, Uncle Meng!"
After dinner, Lin Banxia steered clear of anything greasy, fearing the wave of nausea she had managed to suppress earlier.
Once the meal was over, the family chatted for a bit before retiring to their rooms to rest.
Lin Banxia lay on her new bed, breathing in the fresh, sun-dried scent of the sheets. Her heart felt warm and full.
She truly felt that her rebirth was not in vain—having both love and family. She felt genuinely fulfilled.
The next morning, Lin Banxia rose early to have breakfast with the family. Mom left for work with her eldest brother, and Meng Jiahui rode in the car with her dad to school, leaving Lin Banxia alone in the house with nothing to do.
Tonight, Yan Ting would finally return to the country!
Lin Banxia lay on a long bench in the garden, stretching out her hand to rest it against her smooth, flat abdomen.
It was incredible to think that a new life was already growing inside her.
The phone on the bench beside her suddenly rang. Lin Banxia glanced at it and noticed that the number looked familiar.
However, it wasn’t saved in her contacts.
Who could it be?
Lin Banxia answered the call and heard Mrs. Huo’s voice on the other side. "Lin Banxia, do you have time now? Let’s meet and talk."
Lin Banxia hadn’t expected Mrs. Huo to seek her out again, let alone suggest a meeting to chat.
"Sorry, Mrs. Huo, I’m busy today and won’t be able to make it." Lin Banxia couldn’t forget the scolding she had endured during their last meeting.
"Are you really not interested in talking about my grandson’s situation?" Mrs. Huo detected the dismissive tone in Lin Banxia’s response.
Lin Banxia paused for two seconds before calmly replying, "Sorry, I genuinely don’t have time today. If there’s anything you’d like to say, you can do so over the phone."
"You truly have no manners. When an elder invites you to meet, you repeatedly decline and make excuses," Mrs. Huo snapped, expressing her extreme dissatisfaction.
