The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

Chapter 153

Xu Xiuhe looked towards the woman and the infant in her arms, and let out a sigh of relief. With this, it seemed unlikely that Lin Zhe's gaze towards Shen Yin had any ill intent.

The woman who entered looked around, and her gaze finally settled on Shen Yin. Shen Yin also looked back at her, with her good memory instantly recognizing the woman.

The woman walked towards Shen Yin with the baby in her arms and said, "Do you remember me? This baby, the first person he saw after being born was you." The woman seemed a little emotional.

Shen Yin looked at the baby, who was a little over a month old, lying in the woman's arms.

The baby had grown quite a bit since birth, the grandmother's baby's features had also opened up a little, and it was evident that the baby was healthy. Shen Yin was happy, after all, she had welcomed this new life into the world.

"The baby is getting more and more handsome," Shen Yin said as she reached out and touched the baby's little face.

This action and statement undoubtedly acknowledged that she was the one who had delivered the baby.

"No wonder I couldn't find you in Yang City, turns out you're from Rong City, and you're even Xu's wife. What a coincidence," Lin Zhe spoke up.

The woman was quite emotional. At that time, she felt like she had been through the gates of hell. Outside, the sky was pitch black, the rain was pouring like thunder, and she felt like she was nearing the end of her life, hopeless and helpless, her abdomen aching and breathing difficult.

And Shen Yin's appearance was like a ray of light, or an angel, pulling her out of the darkness, rescuing her from the gates of hell.

It was just that, after the delivery, she was too weak to even have the energy to thank her.

And Lin Zhe was delayed by the heavy rain, only returning to the hotel the next morning. At that time, she had just woken up again, and when she tried to find Shen Yin again, she was told by the hotel staff that Shen Yin had checked out.

"I've been wanting to thank you in person, but I couldn't find you. My husband checked the surveillance cameras in the hotel lobby and hallways, but the angles weren't very good, and we couldn't find you in Yang City," the woman explained.

"I was in a hurry back then, so I left rather hastily."

"I didn't expect that just coming here to sign a contract, I'd encounter you. Truly a fateful connection."

The woman sat down next to Lin Zhe, holding the baby.

Xu Zhengyang saw this and felt that the situation was unfavorable for him, so he immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is truly kind-hearted. I'm so envious of my brother now."

Shen Yin smiled perfunctorily and did not respond.

"Mom, is that a little baby?" Xu Yunzheng pointed at the baby in the woman's arms and asked.

The baby in the woman's arms was so small, just a little over a month old, and didn't recognize strangers yet. His little eyes rolled around before finally looking at the woman.

"Oh, ah, oh la," the infant babbled in a way that no one sitting there could understand.

"Can Zheng understand what his little brother is saying?" Shen Yin asked.

"Little brother?"

"Yes, a little brother. The baby and Zheng are the same gender, both boys."

"Lin is so young, yet has achieved success in both family and career. I'm truly envious," Xu Zhengyang tried hard to assert his presence.

"You flatter me, Xu. Xu himself is quite accomplished at such a young age, becoming the general manager of the Xu Group."

The two men complimented each other.

Lin Zhe ordered some more light and nutritious dishes.

"Lin, what about our cooperation deal?" Xu Zhengyang asked, sounding a little anxious, as if he had a premonition that he might not be able to secure this contract.

"Let's eat first, no business talk during meals. We'll discuss after we finish eating," Lin Zhe said as he served dishes for his wife.

Lin Zhe's family of three and Xu Xiuhe's family of three chatted among themselves, in a harmonious atmosphere.

"Mom, can Zheng eat this shrimp?"

"Yes," Shen Yin said, then picked up a shrimp and put it on Xu Yunzheng's plate.

"Dear, have some of this soup," Lin Zhe said next.

The dishes at the high-end restaurant were delicious, but Xu Zhengyang found this meal as tasteless as chewing wax, filled with anxiety and unease.

Finally, all seven of them finished eating.

Lin Zhe's wife leaned in and whispered something in his ear, which the others couldn't hear.

A few minutes later, the woman walked towards Shen Yin again with the baby and said, "The child is asleep, so I'll take the baby home first. Now I know who you are, as the savior of my child and me, I will surely express my gratitude properly another day."

"It's nothing, it was only natural. Since I know how to deliver babies, I couldn't just ignore a situation like that."

After the woman left with the baby, the private room became quiet again, to the point where even the sound of a spoon hitting a ceramic bowl could be heard.

Xu Zhengyang looked worried and gloomy. He had worked so hard to get this opportunity to sign the contract, and he couldn't fail now, could he?

"Mom, will the little brother come back?" Xu Yunzheng was the first to break the silence.

"The little brother is still too small, he needs to rest more to grow taller. He went home with his mother," Shen Yin patiently explained, as if there were only her and Xu Yunzheng in the room.

"Thank you again, Mrs. Xu, for saving my wife's life. If it weren't for you, she might not have made it. I can never repay such a great debt of gratitude. When my wife left earlier, she specifically reminded me not to neglect you."

"Let's sign the contract," Lin Zhe said abruptly.

Not only was Xu Zhengyang caught off guard, but even Shen Yin and Xu Xiuhe were surprised by Lin Zhe's decisiveness.

"Lin, didn't you just say you were going to choose the Xu Group? Why the change of heart now?" Xu Zhengyang asked impatiently, clearly on the verge of success.

If he could secure this contract, his father would certainly look upon him more favorably, and might even trust him more than Xu Xiuhe due to his greater ability.

"Wouldn't Lin reconsider?" Xu Zhengyang continued to ask.

"My apologies, Xu, although there's an old saying that 'a gentleman's word once given is as unchangeable as a galloping horse,' there's also another saying that 'a drop of kindness should be repaid like a gushing spring.' And for the wife of the president of Heyuan Group, what she did for me was far more than a drop of kindness - she saved my life."

"My wife and I are devoted partners, deeply in love with each other. To me, she is the most important person in my life. Therefore, I have made a new decision. Even if it means not being a 'gentleman,' I must follow my wife's wish. So I have decided to choose Heyuan Group."

Xu Zhengyang's eyes revealed a fierce determination, and he argued vehemently, "But Heyuan Group has only been established for a few years, and can't compare to the Xu Group in any aspect."

"No problem, I trust Heyuan Group, and Mr. Xu who leads it. I have also carefully considered, and the fact that Heyuan Group has developed to its present scale in such a short period of time shows that Mr. Xu's leadership is effective, and that Heyuan Group has great potential. Moreover, with the group's president having such a capable and kind-hearted wife like Xu Xiuhe, who is highly skilled in medicine and extremely capable, Mr. Xu's career is bound to flourish. It's a win-win situation, how could I not choose it?" Lin Zhe's words were reasonable and well-structured.

Xu Zhengyang could not refute him.

However, Xu Xiuhe was delighted to hear this, not for any other reason, but simply because Lin Zhe had just praised his wife.
