Chapter 679: Chapter 668 Xu Mogian Learns of Qiao Jing’s Pregnancy
The group dropped the topic of Lou Xinrou, and as the driver arrived, Su Manhan helped Qiao Jing open the car
door.
"Qiao Jing, Nanging, you two head to work."
Qiao Jing nodded and got into the car with Zhan Nanging, heading to the research institute.
Inside the research institute.
Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanqing arrived at the lab where they worked. Just as they had donned their work attire,
someone approached the door.
Xu Hongzu'’s expression was somewhat strange at the moment, his gaze occasionally falling on Qiao Jing’s belly.
"Xiao Jing, you..."
He had been startled when he saw the Moments post from Su Manhan about becoming a grandmother. His first
thought was that Zhan Nanging was pregnant; after all, in his mind, the relationship between Qiao Jing and Zhan
Qipei couldn't possibly have progressed so rapidly.
But then he had given it more thought and realized that Zhan Nanging wasn’t even dating anyone at the
moment, so it was unlikely to be her.
Moreover, even if there was a pregnancy, that would make her a grandmother, not a granny.
It wasn’t until he received a deliberately sent message from Zhan Yuanshan—a sonogram image made by Qiao
Jing—that Old Man Zhan boasted to him for half a day. He hadn't believed it at first, but when he saw the name
of the person examined, he knew it was true.
But if that was the case, then wouldn't his rascal of a son have no chance at all?
Qiao Jing paused in her work and looked up at Xu Hongzu.
"What is it, Grandpa Xu?"
As soon as she had finished speaking, she noticed Xu Hongzu’s gaze on her lower abdomen and instantly
understood what was going on.
Qiao Jing didn’t initiate the conversation but waited for Xu Hongzu to ask.
Xu Hongzu hesitated, looking at Qiao Jing and finally, gritting his teeth, he asked:
"Xiao Jing, about this pregnancy... | didn’t believe it when | saw Su Manhan’s Moments post, but Old Man Zhan
senta sonogram just to spite me, nearly gavea heart attack."
How could this fine head of cabbage be dug up by the pig from the Zhan Family!
Did he have a feud with the Zhan Family or what? First Old Man Zhan competed with him over someone, and
now Old Man Zhan's grandson is also competing with his grandson.

Qiao Jing lowered her eyes to her abdomen, her lips pursing helplessly.
"The pregnancy is real, Grandpa Xu. Please don’t talk about it with outsiders."
Since the people she wanted to keep it from already knew, there was no need for her to keep hiding it.
Fortunately, only people close to them were aware, as Su Manhan and Zhan Yuanshan had so far only told their
close friends. She would give them a heads up later to keep it contained.
Xu Hongzu now thoroughly believed it and was momentarily at a loss for words.
In the end, he sighed.
"Alright, | got it. | won't disturb your work any longer."
The situation had developed to this point; Qiao Jing was indeed pregnant, and his bratty grandson was utterly
hopeless now.
Qiao Jing nodded and responded with a quiet "okay."
Zhan Nanging, who had been listening the whole time, waited until Xu Hongzu had left before releasing the
words that had been bottled up inside her.
"I think Elder Xu cjust to fish for information, probably for Xu Mogian. Now they can definitely give up for
good!"
After returning to his lab, Xu Hongzu quickly took out his phone and called Xu Mogian. It took a while before the
call was answered.
"You rascal! Where did you run off to?"
Xu Mogian was still sleeping at hat the time, rudely roused by the call. Just as he was about to lash out, he
saw who the caller was.
He didn’t dare to provoke the Retired Emperor of his family and could only muster the strength to keep his
eyelids open, sneezed, and slowly began to speak:
"What's the matter, Grandpa? |, ha—I’'m asleep right now."
He finally had a chance to sleep in today, but he was rudely awakened by a phone call from his grandpa. What
could be so urgent that it warranted a call from his grandpa?
After hearing Xu Mogian’s words, Xu Hongzu scolded him with a face full of disappointment and anger:
"Still sleeping! Do you know about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy?!"
This good-for-nothing kid! The news about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy is spreading, and this brat is still soundly asleep
at home!
Xu Mogian stared blankly for a moment before leisurely stretching, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Grandpa, you've gotta be kidding me. Qiao Jing pregnant? That's never going to happen in this lifetime, right? |
must still be dreaming. If there's nothing else, I'm going back to my dream. I'm dead tired."
He was definitely still groggy or maybe still dreaming, or perhaps he was hallucinating.
Qiao Jing pregnant? How could that be possible?
Xu Hongzu’s eyes bulged with frustration provoked by Xu Mogian, and he unleashed a torrent of scolding,
intending to verbalize the younger man into wakefulness.
"You good-for-nothing! Get out of bed and wash your face right now, or slap yourself to see if you're dreaming!
Do you think | would joke about something like Qiao Jing’s pregnancy?! I'm sending you the ultrasound image
right now, so you can see for yourself and wake up!"
After dropping that statement, he hung up the phone in a huff and forwarded the picture sent by Zhan Yuanshan
to Xu Mogian.
The previously disbelieving Xu Mogian was scolded into a semblance of wakefulness.
A sense of foreboding arose in his heart. He wiped his face with his hand, trying to becmore alert.
When Xu Mogian received the image forwarded by Xu Hongzu, he looked at it with a frown and uncertainty as he
clicked on it.
It wasn’t until he saw the nof the person being examined, and the three fetuses in the ultrasound, that he
froze in shock.

"How is that possible... That's Sister Jing... Sister Jing pregnant? Impossible, there must be smistake!"
He had told Qiao Jing himself that if he got pregnant, she never would.
But now... he wasn’t pregnant, and Qiao Jing actually was!
How could this be?!
Desperate for the full story, Xu Mogian drove at breakneck speed to the research institute to ask Qiao Jing in
person.

Upon seeing the newcomer was a sweating Xu Mogian, she furrowed her brows slightly, a hint of confusion
crossing her face.
"What's the matter? Why so urgent?"
She saw Xu Mogian looking harried as if sgreat disaster was about to strike, clearly more flustered than the
last time.
After all, his forehead was covered in sweat, whether from rushing or from exhaustion.
Zhan Nanging also looked over upon hearing the commotion and furrowed her brows when she saw Xu Mogian.
"Why are you here?"

Xu Mogian ignored Zhan Nanging and marched straight to Qiao Jing, saying:
"Sister Jing! | have something very important to ask you, and | need you to answerright now!"
Qiao Jing responded with a noncommittal "Hmm," waiting for Xu Mogian to continue.
But when she waited for a moment, he didn’t speak.
