My Age of Investment

"what happened?"

Xia Jingxing pretended to be calm, but his eyes kept wandering on his parents' faces.

The father kept silent and drank by himself. Obviously, he had obtained a gag order. Xia Jingxing knew that the father with the lowest status in the family could not be counted on.

Looking at her mother again, her face was still full of displeasure, completely ignoring herself.

Xia Jingxing felt a "thump" in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide it this time, so he planned to confess leniently: "Actually, Christina's side..."

Just when Xia Jingxing was about to confess everything, Zhang Yuqiong answered, "You two broke up? Right?"

Looking at his mother's expression of "I know everything", Xia Jingxing was stunned. What is this?

Seeing his son's surprised face, Zhang Yuqiong confirmed his guess even more.

"I knew that there must be something wrong with the relationship between the two of you. How long has it been? Christina never came to our house again.

She also calls me less and less often, and doesn't want to video chat with me. "

Zhang Yuqiong sighed, "What kind of conflict are you guys having?

It stands to reason that when you grow up, I shouldn't care so much about your affairs.

But I still want to say, Christina is a good boy, don't let her down.

Don't let me know that it was you who did something wrong to him. "

Xia Jingxing's mind was full of twists and turns, just when he thought he couldn't hide it, or after the foreign girl had confessed everything, his mother made this up for him.

Because of the jet lag, pregnant women of course have to reduce the frequency of phone calls. It is impossible to call their mother-in-law who is far away in China in the middle of the night like before.

He doesn't want to video chat, naturally because he is afraid of being seen as a horse.

If we want to talk about this matter, we mainly have to blame Xia Jingxing himself for not being cautious enough and not explaining to the foreign girl properly.

In addition, he and the foreign girl had also made an agreement in advance, and the parents of both sides would not tell, so as not to cause troubles, and the showdown would take place after the child was born.

Now mother thinks crookedly,

Xia Jingxing didn't know whether to show his cards or not.

Let's share it, do you want to share it with the foreign girl's parents?

Let's not share it. In the future, parents will find out, and they will inevitably complain and blame.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Xia Jingxing made a decision to keep hiding it!

"No one was sorry for anyone, but we quarreled a few times. The main reason was that we were separated from each other for a long time, and we often didn't see each other for several months."

Xia Jingxing's face was full of helplessness, "There is nothing I can do about it. I can't tell her to give up her career. Feminism is more popular in the United States. She is a big woman who wants to be an independent woman and not dependent on men."

Zhang Yuqiong frowned: "That's it...then shouldn't be arguing!"

"Mom, I'll take care of it, don't worry." Xia Jingxing said with a smile.

Zhang Yuqiong was about to continue asking, but Xia Yuan grabbed her shoulders and twisted her body.

"eat first!"

Xia Jingxing wanted to laugh a little, did his father win the game?

Zhang Yuqiong looked at the instigator who interrupted her with displeasure, and why did she feel that she was taking revenge on herself? They all said the same thing.

Xia Yuan couldn't resist the knife-like gaze, and hurriedly explained: "My son just came back, and it's Chinese New Year, so let's not talk about those unhappy things."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuqiong gave up, and the family of three began to eat honestly, and only chatted about some light topics, the parents of the east and the short of the west.

"Do you remember Xiao Zheng, the son of Uncle Zheng from the Finance Bureau? You played together when you were young, and you even beat him up with nosebleeds. Xiao Zheng is married, and his child was born last month. A fat boy weighing eight catties, Meaty, it looks so attractive..."

"Qianqian, the daughter of Aunt Wang from the organization department, when you were young, you played house, and every time she played the role of mother, she is really a mother now..."

...

Xia Jingxing didn't interrupt, just smiled and listened to his mother's nagging.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Yuqiong went to wash the dishes, Xia Jingxing and his father sat down on the sofa beside them.

"Don't think your mother is nagging. I guess it's menopause. When you're not around, you'll focus on dealing with me all day long."

Xia Jingxing smiled and remained silent.

"By the way, what's wrong with you and Christina?"

Xia Yuan stared into his son's eyes, "Don't try to lie, you can fool your mother, but not me."

Xia Jingxing was taken aback for a moment, knowing that his father was not easy to fool. When he was a child, he could only lie to his mother, and his father was very sad.

"No, just a few words." Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed.

"The smile is just a disguise, and it's the same smile every time you lie."

Xia Jingxing was speechless, he had been used to it for more than 20 years, and he couldn't change it at all.

A knowing son is like a father, when Xia Jingxing spoke just now, Xia Yuan understood everything.

"Tell me quickly, or when your mother comes out later, I will have to report and report, and then I can save three months of washing dishes."

President Xia Jing sighed, knowing that he couldn't escape this time.

"Kristina is pregnant."

The light words fell into Xia Yuan's ears but were no less than that of Hong Zhong Dalu, which shocked him for several seconds.

"How long?"

"Five months."

"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell us earlier!"

Seeing the blame on his father's face, Xia Jingxing had no choice but to explain everything.

"So you can't get married for the time being?"

Xia Yuan's expression kept changing, and he was thinking quickly about the hidden worries his son had told him.

"It will definitely not work in the next one or two years, at least until Facebook goes public and all the shares are in circulation."

Xia Jingxing was also thinking in his heart, although he had mixed his 20% Facebook shares into a group of LPs, it was far from the time when he could sit back and relax.

Xia Yuan nodded slightly. He didn't know the ways of the upper class in the United States, but he knew that it was not easy for a Chinese to earn tens of billions of dollars from the United States, and it could even be said that there were many difficulties. Naturally, his son had his reasons for doing this.

"Then what do you do next? Can Christina bear this kind of grievance?"

Xia Jingxing sighed softly, "Let's do this for now! I discussed it with her, and she has no objection. If you want to get something, you have to give."

Xia Yuan was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "Then you have to treat him well, and never forget."

"I know."

"Then tell your mother?"

Xia Yuan turned his head and glanced at the kitchen, the people inside were humming happily.

"Say it!"

Xia Jingxing thought about it, he wasn't a thief, there was nothing to be guilty of, and there was no reason to hide it from his mother alone.

Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to use it as a shield.

When his son did bad things when he was a child, he always acted as a cover for his son, and he was always scolded by his wife afterward.

In the past, those were trivial matters, but the pregnancy of a son and girlfriend was a major event. If this was concealed, it would be unreasonable.

Fortunately, his son didn't make it difficult for him.

He glanced at Xia Jingxing, and felt that his son had really matured and started to learn to be considerate of his father.

Xia Jingxing explained to his father again, and then raised his hand to look at the time. He guessed that the foreign girl had already woken up, so he hid in the room and went to make a phone call.

"What? You explained everything, didn't we agree? Neither side will tell."

It was late at night in China, but it was morning in Silicon Valley, and the foreign girl received a call from Xia Jingxing not long after she woke up.

Xia Jingxing smiled wryly and began to comfort the foreign girl.

Before he could say a few words to the foreign girl, he heard his mother's voice of surprise and joy outside the bedroom, and then there was a heavy knock on the door of "bang bang bang".

Xia Jingxing walked over helplessly and opened the door, and then saw his energetic mother standing in front of him.

"On the phone with Kristina?"

Zhang Yuqiong lowered her voice and asked cautiously, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

She just expressed her desire to have a grandson, and the next moment her son fulfilled her wish, can she not be happy?

For her, this year has been really happy.

As for her husband's "cannot get married for the time being", she temporarily ignored it.

After sending his mother away, Xia Jingxing closed the door and comforted the foreign girl for a full hour before the matter was settled.

When he opened the bedroom door and walked out, he found that his parents hadn't even watched the Spring Festival Gala, turned off the TV, and were muttering something quietly.

Seeing her son appear, Zhang Yuqiong said with a smile, "Hurry up and apply for a US visa for me. I'm going to take care of my daughter-in-law and grandson."

Hearing this, Xia Jingxing's head suddenly became dizzy, "There is a professional maternal and child health care team taking care of her, so you can stay in China with peace of mind. After the baby is born, can you visit her again?"

"That's not okay, I'm going to quit my job and retire early..."

Zhang Yuqiong began to snap her fingers, talking about her old age life plan one by one.

Xia Jingxing cast his eyes helplessly at his father, but the latter avoided it directly, pretending not to see it.

"Mom, don't worry, let me tell you slowly..."

Xia Jingxing helped his mother back who stood up excitedly, and then began to fool around.

"Mom, can you speak English?"

"I can learn. I will enroll in the New Oriental English training class tomorrow."

"Americans don't like to live with their parents. If they stay together for a long time, there will be conflicts. If Christina gets emotional, the child will not be kept."

"Bah, bah, bah~, try talking nonsense to me again."

Zhang Yuqiong hurriedly beat his son, while Xia Jingxing tried his best to dodge.

"I don't care, I'm going to America!"

Seeing the proud mother, Xia Jingxing sighed and gave his father a look, don't care about your wife?

Xia Yuan returned a look, which meant that he couldn't control it either.

In desperation, Xia Jingxing had no choice but to continue persuading his mother alone.

Seeing his son gradually falling into a disadvantage, the old woman who spoke like a machine gun before was also talking dryly for a while, and her speech slowed down. Xia Yuan knew that he could come out and clean up the mess.

"Hey, old woman, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let's not disturb others."

Zhang Yuqiong was taken aback for a moment, did he fall to his side?

Xia Jingxing glanced at his father, who looked impatient and very angry.

"His wings have grown hard. Let him make up his own mind. It doesn't matter if he doesn't bring the child back to show us!"

Zhang Yuqiong realized that this was putting pressure on her son, and quickly agreed: "Yes, the child who was fed shit and pee when he was young is now starting to dislike his parents."

Xia Jingxing was stunned for a moment, "Feed me a handful of shit and piss", are you sure you are serious?

"Don't look at me with that look. When you were a child, you lay on the bed and peed on your face. Didn't I clean it for you?"

While talking, Zhang Yuqiong couldn't help laughing.

Xia Jingxing's face immediately became very embarrassing, because there really was such a thing, his mother had been scolding him for this incident since he was a child, and the frequency of scolding him was second only to "wetting the bed at the age of ten".

Xia Yuan saw that the fire was almost ready, so he changed the subject and said: "You have to be considerate of your mother, the family is about to have a baby, how can she bear her temper."

Zhang Yuqiong heard something was wrong, and asked, "What kind of temper am I? What do you mean by that?"

Seeing his wife's increasingly fierce eyes, Xia Yuan, who was still sure of winning before, realized his carelessness, and hurriedly praised in a serious manner: "virtuous and virtuous, honest and simple, dignified and generous, and willing to help others...

Being able to marry your mother in this life is considered a blessing from my previous life. "

Xia Jingxing nodded in agreement.

"Your mother is a restless person and likes children, which is restricted by national policies, otherwise she will add a brother or sister to you."

Xia Yuanchang sighed, "Bringing you a child can be regarded as fulfilling her wish."

Xia Jingxing nodded again, realizing that his old father was about to start using devious tactics again.

"However, having said that, old woman, it seems that it would be better for you to go to the United States to help take care of the child after the child is born."

Looking at her husband with a sincere tone, Zhang Yuqiong looked puzzled: "Why?"

"Think about it, like her son, Kristina is a kind of person with a strong sense of enterprise. She must go to work with a big belly. Do you also chase after the company to take care of her? Thousands of employees are watching, even if Chris If Tina agrees, there will be knots in my heart."

Zhang Yuqiong spread her hands, "Then why don't I take care of her at home?"

Xia Yuan shook his head again and again, "It's wrong, and it's a big mistake."

Zhang Yuqiong looked stunned, not understanding why he was wrong.

"When the child is born, if you help Christina take care of the child, she can work with peace of mind.

Now that you run away early, maybe Christina will put down her work and take care of you instead.

Don't believe it, I can see that child has a kind heart and understands the Chinese culture of filial piety. She can definitely do this kind of thing.

In this case, you will not only fail to take care of her, but will increase her pressure and burden. "

Zhang Yuqiong's original firm belief was shaken, and she murmured: "Am I still a burden?"

"Believe it or not, do you know what Americans like to eat? Can you bake bread? Can you fry steak? Corn pie, waffles, pizza, all kinds of fruits and vegetable salads, can you make them meet American tastes? ?”

Seeing that his wife was completely confused by the question, Xia Yuan slowed down and said: "During this time, you should learn English well, learn how to cook American food, and learn American culture. Christina respects Chinese culture, and we must also respect her culture and custom, so as not to cause trouble for her.

When your grandson is born in the future, you can still teach him/her English. "

"Learn English?" Zhang Yuqiong looked at her husband with a puzzled face, why did she feel that she was talking nonsense in a serious manner?

Xia Yuan realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly corrected him: "Oh, I made a mistake. I am learning Chinese. When a child can speak two languages, he is proficient in both languages. How amazing it is!"

Zhang Yuqiong nodded, determined to train her grandson to be a bilingual talent.

"I just calculated that my grandson will be born in June or July, which happens to be the summer vacation at the school.

You only think about your grandson all day, what about the children at school? Is it plausible that your teacher ran away without finishing the last shift? What about your party spirit? What about your morality? "

Zhang Yuqiong stopped talking. Although she is the teaching director, she also serves as the head teacher. She is still leading the graduation class and has a heavy responsibility.

Xia Jingxing suppressed his laughter, his father usually didn't show up, but when the critical moment came, he would immediately eat his mother to death.

"So I'd better wait until after the baby is born?"

Zhang Yuqiong looked at her husband with uncertainty in her tone.

"Wrong, when the baby is about to be born, you go a week in advance."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yuan looked at his son again and asked, "When is the due date?"

"About early July."

Xia Yuan nodded, "That's all right. If you go at this time, you will take care of everything, and you will be able to see your grandson for the first time."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yuqiong nodded heavily, "Then let's do this!"

Then she glanced at the time, unknowingly, the family of three chatted until two o'clock in the morning, and hurried to wash up.

After his mother left, Xia Jingxing gave his father a thumbs up with a fawning expression on his face. He was indeed a man who had never let him down since he was a child, and his skills had not regressed in the slightest.

Xia Yuan winked at his son, hiding his achievements and fame.
