Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 765 - 767, The Child’s Whereabouts (Part 2)

Chapter 765: 767, The Child’s Whereabouts (Part 2)

"I also agree with Aunt Tong’s words," Mo Feixue pondered for a moment before continuing, "Zhixuan, Jin, you must think this through before making a decision. It’s easy to decide to have a child, but you cannot put the baby back once it’s born. There is no Regret Medicine in this world."

Mo Feixue tended to be calm when considering issues, sharing the same thoughts as Tong Zhi.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin subconsciously touched her abdomen, her eyes full of reluctance.

Just as the old lady of the Mo family and Zhao Yan had said, whether the child was of ordinary people or from the Superpower World, it was ultimately her own flesh and blood, and a very healthy child at that. No matter what, she could not bear to part with it.

As a mother, she would not despise her child no matter what it turned out to be.

But as a mother, she could not help but plan for the child’s future, fearing that the child might hate her someday.

The old lady of the Mo family was very sensible, but weren’t the words of Tong Zhi and Mo Feixue equally logical?

"Jin, have the baby, no matter what, it’s the flesh and blood of you and my brother." Mo Qingyi said with firm determination as she looked up, "Jin, rest assured, as long as I, your aunt, am here, I won’t let anyone bully my niece."

Perhaps because she had experienced abandonment, Mo Qingyi treasured every little life all the more.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I always believe that every little life comes into this world with its own mission to fulfill, so I support Qingyi’s words," said Duanmu Zhe.

The great lady of the Mo family, like the old lady, was a devout Buddhist. She looked at Chu Jin and said calmly, "The Buddha once said: All phenomena are born from causes, and the laws of causation are essentially empty. Everything in the world relies on fate; this child is born into the Mo family because it is fated to do so, and it shares a bond with you. Since there’s fate and kinship, why would you sever the mother-daughter bond, the father-daughter bond, the family lineage?"

It was at this moment that Chu Jin felt a gentle kick from the child inside her belly.

Immediately after, the scenes from her encounter with the small animals on Poland Mountain two months earlier echoed in her mind again.

The big tiger looked vibrant and had shiny fur just a second before, but after rubbing against her belly, its fur turned dull and lost its luster.

This brought to mind what Doctor Li had said.

He mentioned that this child should have turned into blood two months prior but miraculously survived against all odds.

It must have been the tiger who sacrificed its inner core to save the life of the child in her womb.

Realizing this, Chu Jin felt a twitch in her brow and stood up immediately.

"Jin, what’s wrong?" Mo Zhixuan looked at Chu Jin, puzzled.

Chu Jin looked at everyone and then said, "You’re all right. No matter what, this child is the flesh and blood of both me and Mo Zhixuan. We can never abandon her, so I’ve decided to have her."

Once in life, one must act on impulse.

Moreover, this was a life saved by the sacrifice of the tiger’s inner core.

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s right," the old lady of the Mo family said, standing up with satisfaction, "Jin, don’t overthink this from now on. Remember to take good care of yourself during the pregnancy."

"Okay, Mom." Chu Jin nodded slightly.

Worry flashed through Tong Zhi’s eyes as she looked at Chu Jin and asked, "Jin, are you really sure?"

"Yes." Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Aunt Tong, I’ve made up my mind. No matter what the future holds, whether it’s windy or rainy, Mo Zhixuan and I will accompany the child on her journey. Just like what Duanmu just said, every little life comes into this world with a mission to fulfill."

"Yes," Mo Zhixuan reached out and held Chu Jin’s hand, "We’ll accompany our child on this journey together."

Mo Feixue sighed, "Jin, are you really not going to regret this? What if the child resents you in the future?"

It might be better to settle the matter early rather than face resentment later on, saving a lot of trouble.

Mo Feixue felt that Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin’s decision maybe a bit selfish?

After all, it was a matter involving the child’s entire life.

"No," Chu Jin replied to Mo Feixue with a slight smile, "I believe the child will definitely understand later on. Just now, while we were discussing whether to keep her, she kicked me."

In this situation, Chu Jin would keep the child no matter what.

Ordinary people!

What’s wrong with being ordinary?

Ordinary people, with diligent study and hard practice, need not be inferior to those with special abilities who are extraordinary from birth!

Mo Feixue was still very worried.

Besides, since Chu Jin was carrying fraternal twins, how could she know for sure that the child kicking her was the one with ordinary talents?

Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were still too impulsive.

Mo Zhixuan laughed, gently patted Mo Feixue’s shoulder, "Sister, don’t worry about it. It’s all right. Look, wasn’t Jin just an ordinary person before? And for the past twenty years, she has lived in the secular world. Do you think she is inferior to anyone in the three realms? Believe me, the daughter of Jin and me, even if she’s just an ordinary person, will not be too far off."

"Jin is different," Tong Zhi joined in, "Zhixuan, Jin is a reincarnation of the empress, born of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing, she is inherently different from others. I think you both should consider this matter more carefully, and not make a hasty decision."

Children are inherently less resilient, and if she knows she’s different from others from birth, she will surely resent Chu Jin later on, questioning why she gave birth to such a self.

Not only might the child be under pressure, but even Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin themselves could face criticism.

When such circumstances could clearly be avoided, yet they insist on doing the opposite by bringing the child into the world, this too, is a form of irresponsibility towards the child.

"Aunt Tong, who can tell the future? We shouldn’t be too rash in anything." Mo Zhixuan’s gaze was very firm, "No matter what, Jin and I have decided, we must have this child."

"Right." Chu Jin nodded lightly, her left hand resting on her belly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Life is never smooth sailing; a bit of hardship might even be a good thing for the child.

"The road will straighten out at the bridgehead, Aunt Tong, you don’t need to worry," the Mo family’s matriarch spoke slowly.

"Alright then." Tong Zhi continued, "Since that’s the case, I will support you. But let me say this in advance: once my grandniece is born, you, as parents, had better not be biased."

Chu Jin had two children in her womb, one ordinary and the other a dragon among men, with a special gift. It’s unavoidable for parents to treat them differently.

Thus, Tong Zhi was somewhat worried.

Mo Zhixuan assured solemnly, "Aunt Tong, rest assured, there won’t be such a thing happening."

Mo Zhixuan was a complete daughter’s dad, expecting him to treat them without bias?

Hah, that was impossible.

Plus, with the child having a special constitution, Chu Jin could imagine he would surely spoil her to the heavens.

After discussing the matter of the child’s future, Tong Zhi followed up, "Jin, did the doctor really tell you that you’re carrying twins, a boy and a girl?"

Hearing this question, both the elder Mrs. Mo and Zhao Yan were curious, moving closer to Chu Jin, anticipating her reply.

Chu Jin smiled slightly, her tone light, "Whether it’s true or not I don’t know, but that’s what the doctor said."

"If the doctor said so, then it must be!" Tong Zhi said with a beaming smile, "Zhixuan, Jin, congratulations to you both."

Actually, Tong Zhi had also realized that with the Mo family’s vast resources, even if the child Chu Jin bore was an ordinary person, under the Mo family’s protection, that child could still live a worry-free, happy, and safe life.

A hundred years ago, ancestors of the people with special abilities were also ordinary people.

It’s just that the child’s growth experiences will be different from other children, that’s all.

However, fortunately, it’s a girl.

Girls don’t need to fight and kill; being beautiful is enough.

The boat will find its way at the bridge; one can only hope Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan’s persistence isn’t misguided.

Since it was getting late, after discussing this matter, everyone didn’t leave immediately but stayed for dinner instead.

After dinner, Zhao Yan approached Chu Jin, hesitated, then began, "Jin, do you remember that Song I told you about last time? Do you still remember him?"

Chu Jin blinked, "Mom, which Song are you referring to?" There were so many things, she really didn’t remember which Song Zhao Yan was talking about.

"The same Song who helped me that time when I fell, the one who found someone to clean my wound and personally escorted me home, that Song," Zhao Yan continued.

"Oh." Chu Jin’s faint smile brightened with understanding, "I remember now, Mom. Didn’t you say last time you wanted to invite him for a meal? What now?"

Chu Jin knew a little about this matter.

She also knew that Zhao Yan always liked that Song, frequently praising him in her presence.

"That’s what I’m here to talk to you about. Are you and Zhixuan busy these days? See if you can find some time, so we can invite Song for a meal," Zhao Yan had been preoccupied with this matter in her heart, feeling that she shouldn’t owe Song Shiqin a favor.

"Sure," Chu Jin nodded slightly, her tone serene, "Mom, you decide about it. If Zhixuan really doesn’t have time, then I’ll accompany you just the same."

Just like Zhao Yan, Chu Jin believed in gratitude and reciprocity; she wasn’t someone who liked to be in debt to others.

"Good," hearing this, Zhao Yan immediately replied cheerfully, "Then I’ll phone Song right now."

With those words, she reached into her pocket, took out a business card, and dialed the number it listed.

As Chu Jin sat beside Zhao Yan, she could clearly see that the business card was clearly embossed with a name.

Song Chen.

Chu Jin slightly narrowed her eyes, not sure if it was an illusion or not, but she felt that the name was very familiar.

As if it belonged to someone she knew.

On Zhao Yan’s end, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. After dialing three times, Zhao Yan finally gave up.

Seeing this, Chu Jin said with a light smile, "Mom, don’t worry. Maybe Mr. Song is busy with something. How about you contact him again tomorrow? If he agrees to come out for a meal, just let me know, I’m free anytime now."

Because of her pregnancy, Chu Jin was now the most idle person in the Mo family.

Neither the Mo family matriarch nor Mo Zhixuan would let her do anything.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan nodded, "Alright, Jin, it’s getting late, I should head back." Zhao Yan then stood up.

"Mom, it’s so late already, why don’t you stay over for the night? After all, the rooms are ready," Chu Jin spoke up to retain her.

The Mo family matriarch also came over and said, "Little Yan, since there’s nothing much at home, why not stay a few more days and keep Jin company?"

"I really can’t today," Zhao Yan smiled as she declined, "Xiu will be off from school tomorrow, and he loves the deep-fried cakes I make. I have to go back; otherwise, the child will come back to an empty home."

"What’s the issue? I’ll have someone pick up Xiu and bring him here," the Mo family matriarch offered.

"No, no," Zhao Yan still refused, "I should go back anyway. Since our houses are close, I’ll often come to visit when I’m free."

The imperial palace and the Chu family’s house were less than two kilometers apart, so it was indeed very convenient for Zhao Yan to come over.

"Well, alright then," Chu Jin stood up and supported Zhao Yan’s arm, "Mom, let me walk you to your car."

Chu Jin escorted Zhao Yan out of the imperial palace.

Before getting into the car, Zhao Yan sighed and then spoke, "Jin, since the child has already been conceived, it means you have a fate with her. You mustn’t go behind my back to do something foolish! I’m still counting on this child to continue the Chu family’s bloodline."

Zhao Yan was actually somewhat worried that Chu Jin might decide to terminate the pregnancy.

After all, this was happening in the Superpower World.

"I understand, Mom. Don’t worry," Chu Jin patted Zhao Yan’s hand, indicating that she should be at ease.

"That’s good." Zhao Yan nodded, knowing that since Chu Jin had put it in such a way, she wouldn’t go and do something foolish; Zhao Yan could truly rest assured.

Watching the black car disappear into the night, Chu Jin then turned around and walked back through the gates.

No sooner had Chu Jin turned around than a figure came up beside her, and at the same time, a suit was draped over her shoulders, "It’s cold at night, be careful not to catch a chill," a low and magnetic voice sounded above her head.

"Mm." Chu Jin adjusted the suit jacket on her body.

Mo Zhixuan slightly lowered his gaze, his eyes reflecting only her image, and after a moment, he slowly spoke, "Jin, thank you."

"Thank you for what?" Chu Jin slightly lifted her gaze to look at Mo Zhixuan.

This damned height difference meant she always had to look up at a 45° angle to see Mo Zhixuan.

Standing at one meter seventy-six, she became like a little dwarf in front of him, hoping their future daughter wouldn’t take after Mo Zhixuan.

After all, for a girl, a height of around one meter seventy was just about right.

"Thank you for not giving up on our child," Mo Zhixuan continued, his eyes filled with deep inkiness.

As a father, he certainly understood Chu Jin’s concerns.

Pity for the heart of parents worldwide.

No one wants their child to be flawed.

"Silly," Chu Jin stood on tiptoe and tousled Mo Zhixuan’s hair, "This is our child, no matter what she becomes, she’s still our child."

Chu Jin had never really considered terminating the pregnancy from the start.

She had sought everyone out only because she had no other choice; she never expected so many would support her decision to have the child.

Especially the Mo family matriarch.

Chu Jin originally thought the Mo family matriarch might agree to an abortion, but to her surprise, she was the first to oppose it.

And there was also the Mo family madam...

Although Mo Feixue and Tong Zhi both agreed to terminate the pregnancy, they did not hold any grudge against the child, standing from the child’s perspective to deal with the issue.

Originally, Chu Jin was hesitant amid what Mo Feixue and Tong Zhi had said, until the child inside her kicked her, and at that moment, she felt the miracle of life.

It also made her think of the sacrifice made by the grand tiger on Poland Mountain.

If it hadn’t been for that grand tiger, the child, presumably, would no longer exist.

The tiger preserved the child with its inner core, signifying that the child was meant to live, and she couldn’t disregard the tiger’s kind intention.

Surviving a great disaster often brings greater fortune; she believed that the child would surely be very happy in the future.

"Speaking of which," Chu Jin looked at Mo Zhixuan and continued, "do you remember what Doctor Li said?"

"I remember," Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly, of course, he knew which words Chu Jin referred to.

"Actually, what we should be most grateful for is the grand tiger, if it weren’t for it, our daughter would have been gone long ago." On reaching this point, Chu Jin paused before continuing, "Mo Zhixuan, had you already noticed the abnormality with the grand tiger?"

That’s why Mo Zhixuan had given the grand tiger a precious elixir.

Unfortunately, she had not pondered deeply at that time.

The child’s life was certainly important, but so was the grand tiger’s.

It sacrificed its own inner core, and although it wasn’t in any danger of losing its life, it would no longer be able to cultivate! Had Chu Jin known at the time, she definitely would have stopped the grand tiger.

A tiger that could no longer cultivate would certainly be bullied by other spiritual animals in the mountains.

"Hmm," Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly and then said, "I did know it had offered its inner core, but I was not aware that our child was in trouble. When it comes down to it, the tiger is very loyal and righteous; you saved its life, and it repaid us by saving our daughter’s life, you’re even now."

Chu Jin looked up at the sky, with the twinkling stars reflecting in her clear eyes, and spoke slowly, "After our child is born, shall we take them to visit the grand tiger together?"

"Yes." The stars were reflected in her eyes, but in his eyes, it was her reflection.

**

On her way back, Zhao Yan had just reached halfway when the car suddenly broke down. The driver got out to fix it, but after a long time, it still wasn’t repaired, and Zhao Yan was growing impatient, so she had no choice but to step out.

Seeing Zhao Yan come out, the driver quickly explained, "Madam, it seems to be an issue with the wiring, and I can’t fix it. I’m calling a towing company now, please wait a moment."

"That’s fine, no hurry, if it comes to it, I’ll just walk back." The Chu Family was only about one kilometer away, a 15-minute walk, but Zhao Yan was wearing high heels today, making it inconvenient to walk.

At that precise moment, a car suddenly came to a stop beside the road with a ’swish.’

Zhao Yan had not yet reacted when a young man got out of the car and greeted her with a smile, "Auntie, it really is you. I thought I was mistaken."

The person was none other than Song Shiqin.

"Oh, it’s Xiao Song," Zhao Yan greeted Song Shiqin with joy, then continued, "Xiao Song, what are you doing here so late at night?"

"Oh, I just got off work and happened to pass by here," Song Shiqin replied politely, "Auntie, what happened to your car? Did it break down?"

Right at that moment, the driver called out to Zhao Yan, "Madam, I can’t get through to the towing company."

"Try calling a few more times, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll walk back," Zhao Yan replied.

"Yes, Madam." The driver went back to making calls.

"Just so happens I have a little understanding of cars, let me take a look," Song Shiqin picked up a slant-nose plier from the ground and expertly opened the car hood, holding a cellphone for light in one hand while checking various parts at the front of the car with the other.

"Could you hold the phone for me to light it up, Auntie," Song Shiqin handed the phone to Zhao Yan.

"Of course," Zhao Yan took the phone and then said, "Xiao Song, you are really going through a lot of trouble."

Zhao Yan liked Song Shiqin more and more the more she observed him. If she had known Song Shiqin earlier, perhaps she might have introduced Chu Jin to Song Shiqin.

He was enthusiastic, kind-hearted, well-spoken, and talented; he was the perfect son-in-law material.

"Auntie, I’m not sure if I can fix it. I’m just trying," Song Shiqin humbly said.

"Don’t worry," Zhao Yan smiled and said, "it’s okay if you can’t fix it. No one is perfect. Xiao Song, you don’t need to feel any pressure."

"Hmm," Song Shiqin nodded slightly.

Ten minutes later, Song Shiqin closed the car hood; the driver still hadn’t contacted the towing company. Song Shiqin then said to the driver, "You get inside and try if the car will start now."

"Okay." The driver hurriedly got into the car, inserted the key, and turned the ignition.
