Chapter 906: Chapter 906: How about I give it a try

Suizi was bustling about.

After witnessing the battle between Jiaojiao and Liu Meimei at the hospital, she went home to eat lunch, skipping her nap, and after stuffing a fruit platter into her mom Chen Lijun’s lap, she picked up the phone and started to report the good news to everyone on her list.

It was then that Chen Lijun realized what her daughter meant by "running around stirring up trouble."

Suizi kept a little notebook, where she recorded who had said nasty things about her mom’s belly.

There were a few families that Suizi was convinced prayed every day, hoping Chen Lijun would give birth to a daughter, and Suizi had noted all of them in her little book.

She had been biding her time for months, just waiting for the gender of the baby in Chen Lijun’s belly to be confirmed, before letting everyone know, one by one.

"Second auntie, it’s Suizi. I’m so annoyed today——Why annoyed? Oh, it’s just because my mom had a prenatal checkup today, and the doctor told me I’m getting a little brother, so of course, I’m annoyed. I mean, if I have a brother, doesn’t that mean my dad’s antiques can’t be given to your son? I’m actually getting all worked up on your behalf, haha."

That last "haha" made the earlier "so annoyed" seem all the more Versailles, her joy barely containable.

Chen Lijun numbly stuffed fruit into her mouth, watching her daughter’s childish performance.

After hanging up, Suizi crossed off the great-aunt on her list and picked up the phone to call the next house.

"Are you bored or something... Has the school really gotten that slack? Or should I give your tutor a call, maybe get you loaded down with some more tasks?" Chen Lijun said.

"I asked my tutor for two days off, but of course, I won’t fall behind on my work, that was part of the agreement."

"Two days?!"

"Yeah, they’ve taken turns annoying me for months, so what’s wrong with taking two days out to get back at them? Today’s phone calls were just the appetizer. Tomorrow, I’m going to parade you around, showing off that belly to everyone."

"There’s really no need for that, it’s as if our family values sons over daughters. Your dad might get upset if he sees this."

"It’s not us that values sons over daughters, it’s them, they’re just too much. If my dad knew, he’d definitely be on my side, he might even reimburse me for the gas money."

The Yu Family really had no preference for the gender of the baby, but the Fan Family’s relatives thought differently.

There were always some who had retained all the dregs in their heads without adopting any good traditions, treasuring the dregs as if they were precious.

Fan Huang did have some assets, after all, he was the eldest son of the Fan Family, and some people felt that without a son of his own, Suizi, who appeared out of nowhere, albeit claimed by him as his own daughter, was actually the child of Fan Huang’s brother.

These presumptuous people had nothing better to do than to speculate, in their own minds, about who would inherit Fan Huang’s property after he’s gone.

It was always about setting their sights on Fan Huang’s position or his assets, all premised on the idea that Fan Huang had no son.

"The footbinding cloths of the old ladies were undone after the founding of the nation, but some people seem to have never unwound the bandages from their brains and still long for the extinction of a family line, tsk."

As Suizi made the call, she switched from ranting to Versailles mode,

"Third uncle, it’s Suizi, I’m so annoyed..."

Chen Lijun watched with a speechless expression as Suizi put on an act to irritate people.

In less than half an hour, all the relatives from both the Fan Family and the Chen Family knew about Chen Lijun having a son.

Yu Jingting walked in to refill the fruit for his mother-in-law and, seeing Suizi’s spirited agitation, explained to Chen Lijun:

"Just let her show off, she had been planning this since last night."

Last night, Suizi had seriously discussed with Yu Jingting whether to irritate these people only after the baby was born if it was confirmed that her mom was carrying a boy, or to do it as soon as she found out.

When it came to annoying others, there was no one more professional than Yu Tiegen.

The professional’s advice was clear: better to irritate people sooner rather than later.

Annoying them several months in advance would keep them bothered until the baby was born. Once the baby arrived, they could visit each family to show off, doubling the dose of irritation, right?

Those who had been malicious before would be just as troubled now.

Suizi thought this method was quite clever, promptly carrying it out, and judging by her expression at the moment, it certainly seemed satisfying.

By the time Suizi had circled the names in the book, her throat was practically smoking.

Yu Jingting timely offered her a cup of herbal tea to soothe her throat.

Suizi approached the task with the seriousness she applied to her academic work, sipping her herbal tea as she studied the list to ensure no one was missed.

The phone rang, and Suizi thought it must be someone upset by her scheme wanting to continue the battle, so she leapt up energetically to answer it.

"Hello, who’s this?" Her voice was a bit hoarse, but her fighting spirit was high.

"Hansui? It’s your senior sister."

"Senior sister, what’s happened?" Suizi immediately switched from battle mode to her usual gentle voice, ignoring the eye-rolling from Yu Jingting and her mother.

"Professor Su fainted, I’m at the hospital right now."

"Ah?! Which hospital? I’ll be right there."

Suizi and Yu Jingting hurried to the hospital, where Suizi’s senior sister from the same master was anxiously waiting outside the emergency room. Seeing Suizi and her husband arrive, she almost leapt to greet them.

"Hansui, you’re here!"

The senior sister’s relative had an incident at Science University, and she wanted to inquire about it, so Suizi recommended Su Zhe to her.

The two agreed to meet in the lab that afternoon, but when the senior sister arrived, she found Su Zhe lying unconscious on the floor. At the time, Su Zhe was the only one in the lab; if it hadn’t been for the senior sister’s visit, who knows how long it would’ve been before he was found.

Su Zhe had also fainted in the lab once before, which had been due to appendicitis.

This time, it was unclear what the cause was.

Yu Jingting consulted with the doctor to understand the situation, while also greasing some palms.

"Malnutrition...?!" The diagnosis was unexpected.

"Yes, Professor Su fainted due to low blood pressure caused by malnutrition, most likely due to irregular eating habits."

The problem wasn’t serious, but if it continued like this, his health would eventually suffer terribly.

Suizi was astounded, her head spinning; what era was it that people still fainted from malnutrition!

"There’s still no news about the nanny we’re trying to find for him—let’s move our nanny over to take care of him in the meantime," Suizi suggested.

Yu Jingting shook his head.

"He brought this on himself, with his irregular eating habits and picky eating. Our nanny’s cooking won’t suit his taste, and he also doesn’t like the cafeteria food at his workplace."

When Su Zhe dined at the Yu Family’s home, he hardly touched the dishes prepared by their nanny. Suizi’s cooking, on the other hand, was grudgingly acceptable, but with her school commitments, it wasn’t feasible for her to cook three meals a day.

"If it comes to it, I’ll ask the school for a week’s leave to take care of him until he’s discharged. We’ll keep looking for a nanny—we can offer more money, negotiable rates."

As Suizi and her husband were discussing the matter, the senior sister nearby spoke up, "Um, maybe I could try?"

"You? Can you cook?" asked Suizi.

"I brought a box of cookies I made to Professor Su last time, and he ate them all....."
