Chapter 701: Lu Jiaxin's Side Story 5
After ten months of pregnancy, Lu Jiaxin gave birth. She had a healthy pregnancy and the baby was in the correct position, so she opted for a natural birth as advised by the doctor.
Zong Shimeng and Yu Meitong rushed to the hospital upon hearing the news, only to find that the baby had already been born by the time they arrived.
Hearing that the entire process took only an hour and a half, Zong Shimeng couldn't help but feel envious, "This child is so considerate. When I gave birth to my eldest, I was in labor for eighteen hours."
Qian Xiaoxiao disagreed, "My boss started doing prenatal exercises and yoga three times a day from the third month of pregnancy. The doctor said that proper exercise is the reason for such a smooth delivery."
It wasn't just luck; it was the result of the boss's dedication to exercise. Just like how the boss had become a well-known wealthy woman in Port City, there were also rumors that she relied on Mr. Nie, which was infuriating to hear.
Zong Shimeng knew she was defending her boss and didn't mind her words, "Xiaoxiao, how long will it be before Jiaxin can come out?"
Qian Xiaoxiao didn't know either.
After about half an hour, Lu Jiaxin was wheeled out of the delivery room, accompanied by Nie Zhan and the baby.
Zong Shimeng looked at the baby with a smile, "Jiaxin, this child will definitely grow up to be a great beauty."
Lu Jiaxin scoffed, "All wrinkly, like a little old lady."
Nie Zhan was displeased, "Nonsense! My daughter is so beautiful, she doesn't resemble an old lady at all."
Zong Shimeng and Yu Meitong both smiled.
While Nie Zhan went to buy some things, Zong Shimeng looked at the baby and asked with a smile, "Jiaxin, have you chosen a name for the baby?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded, "Yes, Lu Zhao. Zhao, as in the sun and the moon shining brightly."
"What about a nickname?"
Lu Jiaxin hadn't thought of a nickname and planned to call the baby Zhao Zhao directly.
Yu Meitong thought it was a good name, suitable for both genders.
Lu Jiaxin shook her head, "No, we knew it was a girl before she was born, so we specifically chose this name."
Yu Meitong was surprised, "You asked the doctor about the gender in advance? When I was pregnant, I insisted on not letting Tao Yong find out, as knowing the gender beforehand takes away some of the fun."
What kind of fun? Of course, it's the fun of opening a surprise box.
Lu Jiaxin smiled, "Remember I told you that we would have two children, one taking my surname and the other taking Nie Zhan's? After Grandfather Nie found out, he contacted the doctors at Yanghe Hospital. When they discovered it was a girl, he suggested that the child take my surname."
Zong Shimeng observed her calm expression, "You're not angry?"
Lu Jiaxin didn't hide her feelings, "I was furious at first, but the older generation has a tendency to favor boys over girls. I can't change that, and it's not worth getting angry over."
Zong Shimeng agreed, "My daughter Yin Yin is the only girl in the family, but my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law always prioritize Xu Xu and the others. I can't change their minds, so I can only give her more love."
Lu Jiaxin's pregnancy was kept a secret until the baby was three months old, and on the day of the birth, there was no longer any taboo. That evening, Qian Xiaoxiao informed the Lu family.
Qian Xiaoxiao told Lu Jiaguang, "It's a very cute little girl. By the way, the baby takes our boss's surname and is named Lu Zhao."
Lu Jiaguang was unaware of the agreement between Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan, and he was taken aback, "What did you say? The baby's name is Lu Zhao, and she takes Jiaxin's surname?"
Qian Xiaoxiao nodded, "The boss and Mr. Nie agreed to have two children, one taking the father's surname and the other taking the mother's. This way, they can inherit their respective properties."
Although there were rumors that Nie Zhan was wealthier than Lu Jiaxin, as far as Qian Xiaoxiao knew, her boss should be richer, but she kept a low profile.
Lu Jiaguang turned to Lu Hongjun and shared the good news, "Third Uncle, the child will take the surname Lu, just like Jiaxin."
Jiaxin's wealth was conservatively estimated to be in the billions. With such a substantial fortune, it would be easy for Lu Zhao to marry into her family. As long as Lu Zhao possessed half of Jiaxin's capabilities, this branch of the Lu family could thrive for a long time.
Lu Hongjun asked with skepticism, "Are you sure this isn't a joke?"
Lu Jiaguang, with a face full of smiles, said, "Xiaoxiao called and told me, it's not a joke. Third Uncle, for the baby's full-month celebration, you, Xiaojie, and Old Five will go together."
Lu Jiajie had gone to the border on a business trip a few days ago and wasn't in the Capital City. No one knew when he would return. The other children had to work, and even if they took leave, it would be for the full-month or birthday celebrations, so there was no need to visit for the third-day celebration.
Lu Hongjun really wanted to go, but he had some concerns, "I should ask Jiaxin first if she wants me to go. She's still in confinement, and we can't upset her."
Lu Jiaguang really wanted to explain, but he held back, thinking of the initial concerns about Meimei's feelings, "Alright, I'll ask my brother-in-law in a few days."
Wang Xiaojie, counting the days, knew that Jiaxin was due around this time, and hearing that the baby was born made her very happy, "The third-day celebration is the day after tomorrow, I can fly there tomorrow and make it in time."
Although plane tickets were expensive, considering how much help Jiaxin's family had given them, it was worth spending the money.
Lu Jiaguang shook his head and said, "Xiaoxiao just told me that we shouldn't go for the third-day celebration. Let's wait until the full-month celebration to visit."
"How can we not attend the third-day celebration without the mother's family?"
Lu Jiaguang had also thought of this, "It's fine, there will be people from the Su family to support. Besides, the third-day celebration is only for close relatives, and the full-month celebration is for friends and family. We can just show up then."
Wang Xiaojie nodded and then sighed, "Thinking back, when Third Aunt passed away, Jiaxin was still so young. Now, she's a mother herself. Time really flies."
Lu Jiaguang smiled, "You're not considering that we're already grandparents ourselves."
Lu An's wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy at the beginning of spring. Wang Xiaojie hadn't retired yet, but her mother-in-law had, so she was asked to help take care of the baby. Since she couldn't care for her grandchild herself, Wang Xiaojie would visit with gifts during her vacations. Lu Jiaguang also helped with Luo Chan's brother's promotion.
As the two were talking, Lu Tao's voice suddenly came from outside. It turned out that he was on leave these days and had brought a portion of the local specialties he had purchased.
Because Lu Tao was good at socializing, not only Lu Jiaguang and his wife, but also Lu An and Lu Zhang's siblings all liked him. As soon as they saw him, Lu Zhenzhen eagerly told him about Jiaxin giving birth.
Lu Tao asked in disbelief, "Your younger sister's child takes the Lu family name? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
How could a prestigious family like the Nie family allow their children to take their mother's surname? He instinctively found it hard to believe.
Lu Zhenzhen, who had just learned the news, was also surprised, but when she thought that it was her younger sister, it seemed normal, "There's no way such a big matter could be a mistake. You don't know, but my father is so happy. He says that our generation's leader is my younger sister, and our generation might be represented by Lu Zhao's niece."
However, Lu Tao wasn't as optimistic as Lu Jiaguang. People have different levels of closeness, and my younger sister is only close to Big Uncle and Fifth Uncle. Her relationship with our families is neutral. Lu Zhao's niece is distant from us, and it might be difficult to even meet once. If we have a request, the chances of being turned down are high. But I'll keep these thoughts to myself, as saying them would only dampen the mood.
