After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 54 - 52: My Little Brother Is Born

The chubby man with a round face wearing a slightly ingratiating expression was her stepfather, and the father of her soon-to-be-born brother, Xie Baosheng.

This was their third meeting in this life.

In the previous life.

She was very familiar with him.

Xie Baosheng was among Xia Youqing’s many later husbands, or rather ex-husbands, the one she got along with best.

He was also the only husband, besides Ning Yi, with whom Xia Youqing had children.

Though he was a local mining boss, he was actually very smart and honest, generous by nature, and often met people with a smile like the Buddha Maitreya.

His family relationships were simple too, with only a kind, rustic old mother and a son from a previous marriage who was studying abroad, along with some relatives in his hometown that he didn’t often interact with.

In the previous life, he was Xia Youqing’s fourth husband.

In this life, he became Xia Youqing’s second husband.

The main reason You Guang rushed over to accompany her mother through the labor period this time was that, in the previous life, her mother had a close brush with death giving birth to her brother, waking up three days after a massive hemorrhage and suffering greatly.

For this reason, Xia Youqing wasn’t very close to her son.

By nature, Xia Youqing wasn’t someone patient enough to raise or accompany children; she by no means fit the conventional definition of a qualified mother.

When she gave birth to Ning Youguang, it was fine; she was young at that time, had a solid health foundation, went through natural childbirth, and her body and figure quickly recovered without much trouble.

But by the time she gave birth to her son, due to years of working in the entertainment industry, under stress and heavy workload, and dieting, her body lacked nutrients, leading to a less than smooth delivery.

During pregnancy, she didn’t expect to have a difficult labor, having already given birth once before.

But unexpectedly, after the contractions, they went to the hospital, and after an entire day of labor pains, the child still hadn’t arrived.

When the doctor saw her amniotic fluid continuing to leak, fearing for the safety of the baby inside her belly, they did a lot of persuasion with those around her until she consented to surgery to remove the child.

Later, due to prolonged distress in the womb, the child suffered from mild hypoxia, and upon birth, was placed in an incubator, taking quite a while to recover.

In this life, You Guang was also worried something might go wrong with Xia Youqing’s delivery, so she arrived early at her stepfather’s house to accompany her.

As a stepfather, Xie Baosheng was overjoyed to receive a call from little Youyou saying she wanted to come and stay with her mom until her brother was born.

Hanging up the phone, Boss Xie, with a grand wave of his hand, immediately dispatched a luxury convoy to fetch his stepdaughter from her grandfather’s house.

After checking out the room,

Ning Youguang followed Xie Baosheng downstairs, where Xie’s chubby grandmother was holding a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing them, she happily called out to You Guang:

"You Guang, come, have a bowl of sweet chicken soup. I brewed it early this morning. According to our hometown customs, honored guests should have sweet chicken soup. This chicken, I raised it myself, try it, see if it’s good. If it’s good, this afternoon I’ll have Bao catch another one from the backyard, so we can continue eating it tomorrow."

"Okay." You Guang gently placed the bowl of chicken soup from Grandma Xie on the coffee table, then helped the old lady sit on the sofa.

Only after Granny Xie was seated did she pick up the bowl of especially sweet chicken soup and started drinking it.

It was still the familiar taste - longan, red dates, peanuts, rock sugar, over a dozen eggs, and a chicken, all stewed early by Grandma Xie herself in the kitchen. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

A whole pot full - an expression of the earnestness and welcome this simple old lady held for her.

The "sweet chicken soup" she had tasted for the first time at the Xie’s house in her last life almost made her throw up, thinking it was too inedible.

When had she ever had sweet chicken soup?

It was always salty.

However, later on, every time she visited the Xie’s house, she always had this bowl of sweet chicken soup.

Especially when she accidentally learned one day that every time she had sweet chicken soup at the Xie’s house, it was never made by others, but personally made by Grandma Xie for her.

Gradually, she got used to it, and it felt a little off if she didn’t have that sweet chicken soup every time she visited afterwards.

Just like in this life.

Many years later.

Tasting Grandma Xie’s loving bowl of sweet chicken soup again, even though it was still overly sweet, she happily finished it and praised Grandma Xie’s cooking skills: "Grandma, the chicken soup you made is really good."

This was the first time such a charming and well-behaved girl came to the house and affectionately called her grandma without familiarity.

Granny Xie’s heart...

Overjoyed, her smile beamed so broadly her eyes crinkled and disappeared.
