Chapter 42 - 41: When Are You Two Going to Have a Baby? I Can't Wait!
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
In Room 308, a little girl with pigtails hopped over to a middle-aged woman on the hospital bed, holding a lollipop.
"Grandma, do you want a lollipop?"
"Nannan, don't bother Grandma. She can't eat lollipops. Let her rest," a young woman from the next bed called out.
The middle-aged woman, referred to as Grandma, smiled and said, "It's fine. The child is so well-behaved. I like her."
"Auntie Yang, do you like children that much?" the young woman asked.
Auntie Yang sighed, "Of course. At my age, all I want is to hold a grandchild."
"That's true," the young woman nodded. "How many grandchildren do you have?"
"Don't even ask," Auntie Yang sighed again. "My two daughters are so useless. They're both grown up but still don't have boyfriends. How can I have grandchildren?"
"Oh," the young woman was taken aback. "Young people these days do marry later."
Auntie Yang looked at her and asked, "Xiao Wu, how old are you?"
"26."
"Same age as my eldest daughter."
As they chatted, the door to the room opened, and Yang Jingying walked in.
Before she could speak, her mother said, "Speak of the devil, here's my eldest daughter."
"Hello," the young woman greeted.
Yang Jingying politely replied, "Hello."
Her mother then scolded, "Jingying, look at you. Xiao Wu is the same age as you and already has a child. You're still single. When will I get to hold a grandchild?"
"Mom!" Yang Jingying felt a headache coming on.
Just then, a young man entered the room.
"Who's this?"
Yang Jingying's mother looked at her daughter and then at the young man.
Yang Jingying didn't know how to respond, but Xu Mo spoke up, "Auntie, I'm..."
Before he could finish, Yang Jingying, afraid he'd say something inappropriate, quickly interjected, "Mom, he's my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?"
"Really?"
Her mother was surprised. "How long have you two been dating? Why didn't I know?"
Xu Mo felt a pinch on his leg and glanced at Yang Jingying, who subtly held up four fingers.
He then replied, "Auntie, Jingying and I have been dating for four months."
"Four months isn't short. You silly girl, keeping it from me," her mother complained, but a smile spread across her face.
Yang Jingying acted coy, "I wanted to surprise you."
Her mother rolled her eyes and then turned her attention to Xu Mo.
Not bad, not bad.
Tall, good build—definitely healthy.
And he had a certain air about him.
The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
She pulled Xu Mo aside and asked, "Young man, what's your name? How old are you?"
Xu Mo replied, "Auntie, my name is Xu Mo. I'm 23."
Her mother thought to herself that her daughter was robbing the cradle, but as the saying goes, "A woman three years older is like a gold brick." It wasn't a bad thing.
She then said to Yang Jingying, "Jingying, go get me a glass of water."
"There's water in the room," Yang Jingying said.
Her mother glared at her.
Yang Jingying had no choice but to leave.
Once she was gone, her mother pulled Xu Mo closer and said, "Is Jingying easy to get along with? As her mother, I know she can be a bit stubborn. Her job also keeps her away for long periods. We hardly see her, let alone you. I hope you can be patient with her."
"Of course, Auntie," Xu Mo replied.
Her mother then glanced at the little girl nearby and asked, "By the way, you've been dating for four months. When are you two going to get married and have a baby? Your uncle and I can't wait to hold our grandchild."
Xu Mo was at a loss for words.
So direct?
Fortunately, Yang Jingying returned with a glass of water and pulled Xu Mo aside, saying, "Xu Mo, come out. I need to talk to you."
Xu Mo followed her out of the room.
Once outside, Yang Jingying asked, "What did my mom say to you?"
"Do you really want to know?" Xu Mo looked troubled. "It's hard to say."
Yang Jingying, seeing his expression, became even more certain that her mother had said something. She nodded firmly, "Yes."
"You asked for it," Xu Mo emphasized.
Yang Jingying impatiently said, "Just say it. Stop beating around the bush."
Xu Mo took a step back and then said, "Your mom asked when we're going to have a baby. She can't wait."
Yang Jingying was stunned.
Then she shouted, "Xu Mo! Don't run! I... I... I'll bite you to death!"
Xu Mo called out, "I told you I didn't want to say it, but you insisted. Besides, it's your mom who said it. Do you think I want to have a baby with you?"
"You keep talking!"

Meanwhile, downstairs at the hospital.
Yang Jingxuan parked her car in the hospital parking lot and picked up the folder from the passenger seat.
She rubbed her temples.
The dismemberment case was still at a standstill. The first key breakthrough—identifying the victim—hadn't been made yet.
The answer might lie in this folder.
She opened the folder and pulled out a photo.
Xiao Li had done a thorough job. The woman's photo and information were neatly presented.
Name: Li Xue
Age: 23
Occupation: Nightclub hostess at Club 020 in Shanghai
Resigned one week before the dismemberment case.
...
It was a standard profile.

There were four more profiles like this in the folder. Yang Jingxuan put the photo and information back in. She didn't have time to review it now. She picked up the food container, opened the car door, and was about to get out when she hesitated. She decided to take the folder with her, just in case.
She then entered the hospital's underground parking garage elevator.
As the elevator ascended, it dinged, and the doors opened on the third floor.
Yang Jingxuan walked toward Room 308.
Soon, she saw her sister chasing after a man. She frowned, thinking her sister was being inappropriate in a hospital setting. She called out, "Jie!"
Yang Jingying instinctively turned around.
Xu Mo also saw the newcomer.
He heard her call Yang Jingying "Jie."
So this was the police officer sister.
He also noticed the folder tucked under her arm.
Remembering the earlier conversation, he immediately guessed that the folder might contain the clues he was looking for.
He pretended not to see her and bumped into her.
"Thud!"
The collision was hard, and both of them fell to the ground. The food container and folder in Yang Jingxuan's hands scattered.
Xu Mo landed right on top of Yang Jingxuan.
"Ouch..."
Yang Jingxuan winced, feeling the weight of a man on her. She scolded, "Get off me!"
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't see you. Let me help you up," Xu Mo apologized.
He got up and started picking up the scattered files.
Since Yang Jingxuan had already opened the folder in the parking garage, the photos had fallen out.
Xu Mo helped gather them.
As he picked up the third photo, his breath caught.
His pupils dilated in shock.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
This... this can't be!
