Chapter 51 What a huge surprise!
After finishing the barbecue, Li Xi suggested going to the supermarket.
Gu Zhen readily agreed, "Perfect timing, Patrick Star's cat litter is almost gone."
"Then let's go together."
There is an imported supermarket near the shopping mall.
Upon entering the supermarket, the two headed straight to the pet section, where they picked out two types of cat litter with good reputations for Patrick Star, and also grabbed a few bags of jerky treats.
After buying the pet supplies, Li Xi went to the women's products section. She pointed to the shelf next door and said to Gu Zhen, "Wait for me here."
Gu Zhen, knowing his limits, agreed.
Gu Zhen pushed the shopping cart to the waiting area that Li Xi had designated for him.
When he got here, he realized that this area was a shelf selling baby diapers.
Waiting around was quite boring, so Gu Zhen picked up a pack of diapers from the shelf and started examining them.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Xi heard a familiar voice—
"I think I might really be pregnant."
Ok?
Zhang Xiang?
Li Xi quietly walked around to the end of the shelf, peeked out and looked at the other side of the shelf, and actually saw her adoptive mother Zhang Xiang.
Ms. Zhang Xiang was dressed very elegantly and fashionably today. She wore a houndstooth wool coat with a crisp cut, a black hat, and black high-heeled boots.
She had her recently purchased purple Birkin handbag slung over her arm.
At this moment, Ms. Zhang Xiang held her GUCCI sunglasses in her left hand and linked her right arm with that of a young man.
The man was tall and stylishly dressed, even his hair was styled in a way that made him look exceptionally handsome.
Even from behind, you can tell it's not Xie Mingzong!
Is Zhang Xiang pregnant?
Good heavens! Xie Xingyun is 28 years old, and Zhang Xiang is over fifty, and she's pregnant!
Young ducks are so energetic!
Behind the shelf, the handsome man stopped in his tracks upon hearing Zhang Xiang's words. "Are you kidding me? You're really pregnant?"
Ok?
This sound...
Li Xi subconsciously looked at the man's left ear, and when she saw the small black mole on his earlobe, she covered her mouth in surprise.
"Holy crap! Qin Xiu?"
Zhang Xiang actually got together with Xie Mingzong's godson!
This Qin Xiu was a child whom Xie Mingzong had sponsored for many years. It is said that his father was Xie Mingzong's good friend in his youth, named Qin Mingwen.
Because their names both contain the character 'Ming', Qin Mingwen is called Brother Da Ming, and Xie Mingzong is called Brother Xiao Ming.
They were sworn brothers, the kind who would stand by each other through thick and thin.
Fifteen years ago, Qin Mingwen and his wife died unexpectedly, and Xie Mingzong then adopted Qin Xiu as his godson.
Qin Xiu is five years older than Xie Xingyun; he is already 33 this year.
I heard that he lived in the Xie family's house before graduating from university, and only moved out after successfully starting his own business.
When Li Xi was adopted by the Xie family, Qin Xiu had just moved away. But Qin Xiu would always go back to the Xie family for meals during holidays, and he never forgot to bring gifts for Xie Xingyun and his sister.
Of course, Li Xi also had a share.
However, compared to the gifts Xie Xingyun and Xie Jiaoyue received, the gifts she received were much more perfunctory.
But Li Xi didn't mind.
Receiving a gift is a good thing.
Li Xi's gossip-loving soul was ignited when she accidentally stumbled upon Zhang Xiang and Qin Xiu holding hands in the supermarket.
This period came just in time, it's wonderful!
She instinctively pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt, walked behind them, and started picking out sanitary napkins from the shelf.
As they got closer, Li Xi heard Zhang Xiang and Qin Xiu's conversation clearly—
Zhang Xiang said, feeling wronged and angry, "I haven't been intimate with Xie Mingzong for almost half a year. He's keeping a mistress on the side. I find him disgusting!"
"For the past six months, you've been all I've had. Last time it was Xie Mingzong's birthday, you came home to celebrate with him, and while he was drunk, we..."
"You didn't take precautions that time."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu growled, "I didn't take any precautions, so you didn't know to take your medicine?"
Qin Xiu's attitude provoked Zhang Xiang. She trembled and accused him with tears in her eyes: "I'm over fifty years old and almost menopausal. How was I supposed to know I would get pregnant!"
Qin Xiu scratched his head in frustration and said decisively, "We can't have this child! His presence will ruin our reputations!"
"You know that," Qin Xiu said, pulling his mask tighter. He glanced around furtively and lowered his voice, "I'm an actor. If people knew I was entangled with a fifty-year-old woman, what would they say about me?"
"You think I'm too old?" Zhang Xiang was about to explode with emotion. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out, "Qin Xiu, you were the one who seduced me back then."
"In order to cover up the truth that we were together, I had to pretend to be promiscuous and find young men to cover for us."
"I gave up my reputation for you, and you actually think I'm too old?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xi was so excited that his hands trembled.
Zhang Xiang and Qin Xiu, her godson, have been having an affair for a long time?
Seeing that Zhang Xiang was about to beat him up, Qin Xiu could only patiently coax her: "In my eyes, you are not old at all."
"I will never forget that after my parents passed away, you were there to help me with the funeral arrangements. On every night when I was plagued by nightmares, you were there to comfort me by my bedside."
“I don’t care about your age, nor am I worried about my career.” Qin Xiu held Zhang Xiang’s shoulders and spoke frankly to her: “I can disregard my future, I can give up everything and elope with you.”
"But we can't let Xingyun and Jiaoyue suffer."
"Especially Jiao Yue, she's a girl and a big star. If people find out her mother and her godbrother are having an affair... what do you think..."
A brief and concise suggestion is better than a lengthy lecture of coercion or enticement.
The most powerful weapon to control a mother is her child.
As expected, Zhang Xiang calmed down after hearing this.
“I’m telling you this not because I want to have your baby.” Zhang Xiangfu lowered her head and gave a self-deprecating smile. “I just want you to help me contact a reliable hospital. Isn’t your agent quite capable?”
"I'm going to have surgery to get rid of this baby."
Hearing this, Qin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes, visible through his mask, revealed a hint of heartache. "I'm sorry you had to go through this."
...
Li Xi watched the two people slowly walk away.
Qin Xiu is not only a male actor, but also the top star of Zhaixing Entertainment. He is a living advertisement and a true superstar.
Xie Jiaoyue's decision to become an actress was influenced by Qin Xiu.
Once Qin Xiu and Zhang Xiang's scandalous affair is exposed, not only will their reputations be affected, but Zhaixing Entertainment will also suffer a severe blow.
This is truly a major discovery!
Li Xi took two packs of sanitary napkins to Gu Zhen, threw them into the car, and suddenly asked Gu Zhen, "Professor Gu knows Officer Zhou, so do you know the detective?"
Gu Zhen didn't admit it directly, but instead asked Li Xi, "Who are you going to hire a detective to investigate?"
"Xie Xingyun's mother."
Gu Zhen frowned and said, "Is it Ms. Zhang Xiang who called you a toad in front of the police station, saying you should just stay in the paddy field and eat snails instead of dreaming of eating swan meat! And that Xie Xingyun only touched you a few times and you didn't suffer any loss?"
"...You remember so clearly?" Even Li Xi herself couldn't remember clearly.
Gu Zhen tapped his temple and said, "I can't help it, I have a good memory."
Not only does he have a good memory, but he also hates evil.
