Chapter 31 – My Son is a Phoenix Man (part 11)

Mother Wei did not know whether she should buy things for boys or girls.
Li Su said, “A girl! I have been dreaming for several nights and dreamed that I was back in my hometown and the moon fell into our backyard.”

Mother Wei said, “It must be a baby dream!”

Wei Yue Er was envious.
“Really? Why did I not have a baby dream?”

“You… Your husband is the only one in your head.
How could you have a baby dream?” Mother Wei said jokingly.
“So, Yue Er will really have a daughter?”

“I think it’s true.
Just assume she will have a girl,” Li Su said and nodded.

Wei Yue Er suddenly laughed.
“Moon.
My daughter’s nickname should be Little Moon.
How cute!”

Mother Wei didn’t speak, merely glanced at Li Su.
Li Su smiled and said, “Sure, it is your child.
You can decide the name.”

Only upon hearing that did Mother Wei smile.
“I also think that Little Moon is a good name and it fits mother-in-law’s baby dream.
It couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Wei Yue Er proudly took out her cell phone, wanting to call Jiang Shan.
But, after a moment of hesitation, she put the cell phone away.

“What’s wrong?” asked Li Su.

“I wanted to call Jiang Shan, but I was afraid that he might be busy, so I decided not to.
I can tell him at lunch,” Wei Yue Er said with a smile.

Mother Wei and Li Su didn’t care.
They turned around and continued to look through things.

Wei Yue Er thought about it for a while and then sent a message through W to Jiang Shan.
“Husband, mum said that she had the same dream for the past few days.
She dreamed that the moon fell in the backyard of her hometown.
Mum said that I will likely have a daughter.
If so, will you be okay if her nickname is Little Moon?”

On Jiang Shan’s side, Jiang Shan had just received Mei Li’s message on W.
He had no idea where she got his W ID from.
Jiang Shan remembered Li Su’s words and wanted to ignore Mei Li.
However, Mei Li had sent a lot of old photos of them together, some of which he had lost.
He didn’t expect that she still kept them.
A first love is always beautiful, so Jiang Shan ended up reminiscing for a while.

It just so happened that Wei Yue Er’s message on W arrived.
When he saw the contents of her message, Jiang Shan suddenly came to his senses.
He hesitated for quite a while before transferring 10000 yuan to Mei Li and a message saying ‘We won’t contact you anymore.
Wish you well!”

Then, he decisively blocked Mei Li on W.

Mei Li stared at her phone frantically and had to stop herself from smashing her phone.
She used this trick and Jiang Shan was not fooled! Okay, fine!

After doing all this, Jiang Shan smiled and dialled Wei Yue Er’s number.
“I think the nickname ‘Little Moon’ is good.
It fits my mother’s baby dream and includes your name1.
I like it.”

Wei Yue Er was very happy.
“Really? You like it too?”

“Yes, I like it.
I like everything you say!” Jiang Shan smiled softly.
“I was thinking about a name too.
How about Jiang Xin Yue?”

“Jiang Xin Yue?” Wei Yue Er repeated.

“Yeah, there is a line in Bai Ju Yi’s poem ‘Song of the Pipa2 Player’ that says ‘only seeing the white light of the autumn moon reflected in the middle of the river’3.
The night we first met had a bright moon in the sky.
Your name is Yue Er, and the Yue have the same pronunciation.
No matter when and where, you and your daughter will always be in my heart,” Jiang Shan said lovingly.

Wei Yue Er burst into tears.
She had always been the more active one in the relationship.
Although she married Jiang Shan as she wished, Jiang Shan treated her very well and her mother-in-law loved her very much and she now had a child, but she always felt that there was something missing.

Fortunately, this feeling has been addressed now.

“Husband, I feel so happy!” Just when Jiang Shan was wondering why Wei Yue Er hadn’t said anything, he heard her choked voice from the phone.
Jiang Shan’s eyes were red too.
How could this stupid girl be so easily satisfied?!

“Stupid, why are you crying? You are pregnant.
What if the child turns out to be a cry baby?” Jiang Shan said with a smile.

Wei Yue Er wiped her tears.
“Husband, what do you want to eat for lunch? I will bring you something!”

“I want to eat vinegar shredded potatos4, fish head with chopped chilli5, hot and sour beef with enoki6, and hot and sour cooked salmon7.
We should get pork rib and corn soup8!” Jiang Shan said with a smile.

Wei Yue Er smiled happily.
Jiang Shan preferred light foods and rarely ate anything heavy.
These were Wei Yue Er’s favourites after she got pregnant.
“Okay!”

Mother Wei and Li Su were whispering while they picked up clothes.
“Look at that silly child.
She must be calling Jiang Shan since she is smiling so happily.”

“They are a young couple.
They have a good relationship so we can rest assured.” Li Su smiled.

“Mother-in-law, to be honest, if it wasn’t for Yue Er’s insistence, I wouldn’t worry about giving Yue Er to Jiang Shan.” After she finished speaking, she realised she had said something wrong.
But it was too late; she couldn’t take her words back.
She could only look at Li Su in embarrassment, afraid that she would be angry.

“I understand mother-in-law’s worries.
Mother-in-law must have thought about how my family is from the countryside and that I am a widow.
You were afraid that I am not easy to get along with and you were afraid that Jiang Shan would be the same since he was, what was the term? Ah, yes, a mother’s boy, right?” Li Su smiled.

Mother Wei smiled awkwardly.
“Mother-in-law knows the term mother’s boy?”

“I have watched Old Uncle on TV regularly, so I am not sure.” Li Su pretended like she couldn’t see Mother Wei’s embarrassment.

Mother Wei hurriedly continued.
“Do you like watching Old Uncle? I’ve heard of the show, but I haven’t watched it much.
How is it?”

“You haven’t seen it? What do you usually watch?” asked Li Su.

The two of them moved away from the subject naturally.
They were intelligent.
There was no need to dig too deep.
Ignorance is bliss!

That night, Li Su was about to head back after dinner when Jiang Shan quietly stopped her.
“Mum, I have something I need to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Li Su asked.
She noticed that Jiang Shan’s expression seemed a bit strange.

“I don’t know where Mei Li got my W ID and mobile number, but she has been harassing me.
I blocked her, but she still bothered me through other means.
I have changed my mobile number and W ID.
However, I am afraid that she won’t give up and go to make trouble with Yue Er.
Mum, please pay more attention during this time and don’t let her hurt Yue Er,” said Jiang Shan truthfully.

Li Su didn’t think that Jiang Shan was lying, so she nodded.
“Don’t worry.
I will be with her these coming days.
There won’t be a chance for Mei Li to meet her.
Since she has gotten your mobile number and W ID, will she go find Yue Er?”

“Don’t worry, mum.
After Yue Er got pregnant, I don’t let her play much on her phone.
Not many people know Yue Er’s mobile number or W ID.
I also check her phone every night and make sure she doesn’t add any strangers as friends,” said Jiang Shan.

“That’s good.
Since Yue Er is pregnant, she shouldn’t get agitated.
This Mei Li is really hanging around.
Don’t let me meet her.
If I do, then I will slap her to death!” said Li Su.

Jiang Shan smiled and said, “Mum, don’t do that.
Last time you slapped her chin.
If you do it again and something happens, she can sue you.”

“Am I afraid of her?” Li Su rolled her eyes.

Jiang Shan smiled helplessly.
“Yes, yes, you aren’t afraid, but what about us? Mum, we have such a good life.
Is it worth the loss to deal with her? As long as I continue to ignore her, she will get bored.
Wouldn’t it be fine then?”

Li Su laughed.
From her knowledge from the book, Mei Li wouldn’t give up that easily.
Two months after Jiang Shan got married, Jiang Shan got together with her.
After, the Wei family was destroyed and the company changed hands.
It took 8 years.
For those 8 years, Mei Li was by Jiang Shan’s side, acting the part of both a beauty and a military counsellor.
When the Wei family was destroyed, Mei Li did not rush out.
She waited for more than half a year before she exposed her relationship with Jiang Shan, saying that they happened to meet after and rekindled their relationship.
She said that for girls to be rich, boys had to be poor, and that he was used by Wei Yue Er’s daughter.

This sort of mindset ran deep.
How could she withdraw so easily?

These actions were deplorable.
Mei Li was still young and full of vigour, so she was aggressive.
But, Li Su believed that as long as she was given a chance, she would definitely hang around like a poisonous snake.

However, Li Su was not worried.
The reason why Mei Li was so successful in the book was largely due to Li Su’s death.
That event pushed Jiang Shan to Mei Li’s side and caused Jiang Shan to blacken and retaliate against the Wei family.
Now that she was alive and clearly expressing her disgust towards Mei Li, she did not think that Mei Li had the ability to make Jiang Shan give up his happy family and his mother to stay with her!

Li Su guessed right.
The next day, Wei Yue Er suddenly wanted to eat a cake from a cake shop near the company.
Li Su accompanied her to buy it.

As a result, as soon as they went downstairs, Mei Li rushed out and said, “Wei Yue Er, I have something to tell you.”

Wei Yue Er looked ignorant and was being guarded by Li Su.
She stuck her head out from behind Li Su.
“Who are you? Do I know you?”

Maybe it was Wei Yue Er’s words that stimulated Mei Li, but Mei Li’s eyes turned red and she was a little crazy.
“You don’t even know me?! I am Mei Li, Jiang Shan’s ex-girlfriend! Haha, how ridiculous.
You rely on your family’s wealth…”

When Li Su heard this, she slapped Mei Li to the ground.
She then turned around and covered Wei Yue Er’s ears and cursed.
“Shut up! Was I not clear enough last time?!  You broke up with my son for money! My son got together with Yue Er two months after breaking up with you.
Now that you have spent your money, you want to come back and separate my son and daughter-in-law! You are rushing to be a mistress.
What a pity that my son is decent and doesn’t want to take care of you, so you ran over to find my daughter-in-law! You know that my daughter-in-law is pregnant and you still say such things to her.
What are you doing?!”

Mei Li couldn’t deal with this.
She felt there was something wrong with her face.
She took out her mobile phone and looked at the front-camera.
Her nose was crooked and she lost it.
“You are a crazy woman! This is between your son and I.
What does it have to do with you?!”

After speaking, she rushed towards Li Su crazily.
