Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Members of the Xiao Family Arrive

Early in the morning, Lin Qin, Lin Yi, and Chen Wenjun rushed over as quickly as possible.

Seeing Chen Xinyue lying on the hospital bed playing with her phone, the three adults didn’t bother to scold her and started bombarding Xiao Jinlin with questions.

They lingered around until almost noon, yet there was no sign of Chen Xinyue going into labor.

Just as Lin Yi had left for not long, Chen Xinyue started crying out in pain again.

The medical staff came over to examine her, and amidst the chaos, she was wheeled into the delivery room by 2 PM.

She gave birth before 3 PM.

At the moment the nurse came out holding the baby, Xiao Jinlin was still somewhat dazed, at a loss for what to do, nervously swallowing, his face full of urgency, "How is my wife?"

The nurse smiled while holding the baby, "The mother and child are safe. The mother needs to be observed for another half hour before she can be sent back to the ward. One family member can stay here and wait, while the others come with me."

Everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Only then did they turn their attention to the baby in the nurse’s arms.

The nurse immediately reported the baby’s birth information and asked the family to sign.

Xiao Jinlin looked eagerly at the baby now in Lin Qin’s arms, his face brimming with a happy smile, "Mom, you guys take the baby back to the ward first, I’ll wait here for Xinyue."

Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun exchanged a glance and immediately took the baby back to the ward.

Not long after, Xiao Jinlin received several photos of the baby from Lin Qin, looking at them over and over, then he clicked into the group chat and sent them.

He Xue was the first to respond, "Xinyue gave birth?"

Shortly after, Xiao Jinlin’s phone rang; it was the old lady Xiao.

"Jinlin, did Xinyue give birth?"

Xiao Jinlin quickly and happily replied, "Grandma, you’re really fast. She just gave birth, Xinyue is in the delivery room for observation, mother and child are safe, and the baby is 6.8 pounds."

The old lady Xiao couldn’t close her mouth from smiling, "Great, great! As long as they’re safe, that’s all that matters! In that case, I’ll have your aunt buy plane tickets right now, and I’ll come with your grandpa to see our precious great-grandchild!"

Even before Chen Xinyue gave birth, they were eager to go to An City. Now, seeing the baby’s photos, they couldn’t sit still.

He Xue chimed in, "Mom, I want to go too. I’ll come with you!"

She hadn’t been back to An City in years and really looked forward to revisiting it.

After the two hung up, the old lady Xiao immediately shared the news with Mu Qinglian.

Mu Qinglian was only a step behind in finding out, and upon learning the two were heading to An City, she immediately wanted to join.

By the time Xiao Bai got off work, the tickets were already booked.

Seeing Xiao Bai’s calm face, Mu Qinglian knew he hadn’t seen the group message, so she quickly asked, "Did you know your second daughter-in-law gave birth?"

"Gave birth? Boy or girl?" Xiao Bai was a bit surprised.

Mu Qinglian smiled, "It’s a boy, a chubby little guy, the photos are in the group chat. Mom and I have bought tickets for tomorrow to go see him."

Xiao Bai hurriedly opened his phone, enlarged the picture, stared at the child for a long time, and thought for a moment, "Bring lots of things for the mother and child, jewels and the like, and also cash, prepare a hundred thousand, the more grand the better."

Mu Qinglian was a bit taken aback, "Bringing so many things, is it safe?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll have bodyguards escort you." Xiao Bai had already planned everything.

Hearing this, Mu Qinglian didn’t say much more, but pursued, "Are you going?"

Xiao Bai shook his head, "It’s the end of the year, lots of work at the office, it’s not good for both of us to leave, you go by yourself."

There was one more thing he didn’t tell Mu Qinglian, something about the elder son’s side, for fear Mu Qinglian would get anxious and worried.

Mu Qinglian didn’t think much of it, quickly went out to prepare.

Xiao Bai repeatedly looked at the baby’s photo, and ate an extra bowl of dinner.

Meanwhile, Guo Lingyue, who just managed to conceive, also saw the pictures in the group chat, and was so angry her nose was crooked, yet she had to force herself not to get upset, as her health wasn’t good. The first child had been difficult to conceive, and the family had protected her in every possible way to ensure its safe delivery.

This pregnancy, the couple decided to keep it low profile. Even though Xiao Jincheng had completed the paperwork, they didn’t dare make it public, hiding in the suite Guo Lingyue had brought as part of her dowry, keeping a low profile during the pregnancy.

Xiao Jincheng guessed she would be in a bad mood after seeing the pictures, so he specifically came over to comfort her after work, "Don’t look at them, take care of yourself, we’ll have our own child too."

Guo Lingyue docilely cuddled next to Xiao Jincheng, "Is Yuanyuan still crying?"

Ever since she got pregnant, she moved out, away from her daughter who frequently got sick and cried. Her mood improved significantly.

Xiao Jincheng shook his head, "The nanny is there, no need to worry. As always, just take care of yourself and the child, leave buying groceries, cooking, and chores to the housekeeper, just focus on resting well."

Guo Lingyue felt cherished like a precious treasure, smiled sweetly, and nodded.

Early the next morning.

The driver took the old lady Xiao and the others to the airport.

After the plane landed, the people Xiao Jinlin arranged were waiting by the roadside, ready to take them to Nanyu.

Chen Wenjun and Lin Yi had returned specifically to host them.

Once the group got onto the island, they found everything new and exciting.

Especially the old lady and old gentleman Xiao. At a certain age, they enjoyed growing some vegetables, raising chickens, or at least growing some flowers or keeping pets. Unfortunately, they lived in a compound where space was limited and such activities were unattainable. Now, seeing greenery everywhere, their eyes lit up.

"What’s growing in the fields here?" Old gentleman Xiao pursued an answer.

Lin Yi quickly replied, "There’s lotus root that was just planted, and calla lilies that haven’t been harvested. Over there are mustard greens, cabbage, cauliflower, and on the other side, there are green onions, ginger, garlic—essentially, anything that can be grown is grown. Some are in small amounts, others in large quantities, but they’re all vegetables everyone loves to eat.

There are fruit trees all around, which have been planted for ten to twenty years! They’re old trees now, and the fruit they bear is especially sweet. We’ve also planted some new varieties, and past the gym is where we raise chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep.

The island is spacious, so in recent years, we’ve even raised some dogs, all running free-range. But upon hearing you were coming, we put the dogs up beforehand."

In a few sentences, the situation on the island was thoroughly introduced.

Mu Qinglian couldn’t help but exclaim, "No wonder Xinyue wanted to come back here for her pregnancy and postpartum period, everything at home is freshly available, she can eat whatever she likes."

Lin Yi nodded seriously, "Exactly! From our home, you can take a boat directly to South Port. We also have speedboats and fishing boats for offshore trips there, catching the freshest seafood daily, all kinds. She loves seafood, and she can eat whatever she likes at home."

The Chen family made their wealth from seafood, which everyone knew.

He Xue asked curiously, "Are Sister Qin and the others still in the hospital?"

Chen Wenjun nodded, "The child was born yesterday afternoon and won’t be discharged until the earliest, tomorrow. That gives you time to rest today, have a meal tonight, and you’ll be able to see the baby when they return from the hospital tomorrow."

Old lady Xiao agreed.

She also let the orderlies help carry things upstairs.
