When Elena heard the doctor finish speaking, she was both surprised and delighted.
Surprised that she was truly pregnant.
She had only been with Guo Xuyang for such a short time and was already pregnant. She wondered if Guo Xuyang would be willing to accept the child in her belly.
Especially seeing Guo Xuyang’s dazed expression, she felt uneasy.
Delighted that she could finally become a mother.
The moment she knew the result, she made up her mind. Regardless of whether Guo Xuyang accepted her or not, she would definitely give birth to this child.
This was a gift from God.
It wasn't until she had picked out so many fruits she wanted to eat that she realized Guo Xuyang had truly let go of his worries.
She didn't know why, but seeing Guo Xuyang happy made her very happy too.
The two bought many things and returned directly to the hotel.
"Darling, thank you!" Elena said, hugging Guo Xuyang's waist.
"Why do you say that?"
"You've fulfilled my wish to be a mother," Elena said, leaning her head against Guo Xuyang's chest.
"Before, I often envied mothers with children and always thought that one day I could be a mother too.
Fate plays tricks on people; the more you want something, the less you get it.
If it weren't for you, I don't know if I could ever be a true mother."
"Don't think too much about it. Since it's here, we should welcome it. Every life deserves respect."
"Mmm," Elena said, becoming emotional.
Guo Xuyang stopped her.
"The doctor said you need to take care of yourself in the early stages and should not engage in strenuous activity. Be good and listen."
As the two were being affectionate, Li Ziyu found Su Ran again.
"Is it true what you said about Guo Xuyang preparing to establish a jade company?"
"Yes. What's up?"
"Nothing," he lied to Su Ran.
He was extremely puzzled. After he had someone stop Guo Xuyang from registering the company, there was no further news from the other party.
It was as if he had punched cotton with all his might, leaving him incredibly frustrated.
"Who has invested in it?"
"Many people, most of whom you don't know. Besides Xiao Xi and me, there are three jade store owners, Elena, General Manager Jiang, and Lü Liang."
"How did you all get together?"
"These are all Guo Xuyang's friends."
"Is that foreign woman really Guo Xuyang's friend?"
"Yes. It seems she followed him from South Africa.
That woman is so shameless. Last time at the club, Xiao Xi wanted them to live separately, but she directly requested a single room."
"Foreign women are different from us, aren't they? They're quite open."
"You don't know how angry Xiao Xi was when she returned to the room and threw a tantrum, even throwing pillows on the floor."
"Don't mention her to me again," Li Ziyu said, glaring at Su Ran.
"She's not a good person either. She throws herself at any man she sees."
"You're not allowed to talk about Xiao Xi like that. Xiao Xi is a very nice person."
"Alright, alright. That's all. You can go back now." Li Ziyu felt increasingly agitated upon hearing Su Ran's words.
Seeing that Li Ziyu was genuinely angry, Su Ran rubbed the corner of her clothes with her hand.
"Fourth Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
"It's fine. You go back. Be careful on your way," Li Ziyu said and turned to leave.
Su Ran opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
"Brother Guo, I've finalized the investment details and the articles of association. I'm sending them to you now. Please take a look when you have time," Wu Youzhi called Guo Xuyang.
"Okay. Please call these people and invite them.
Let's find a place to gather tonight, and I'll explain the situation to everyone.
If there are no special circumstances, we'll head to Myanmar in the next couple of days. Please make arrangements in advance."
"Alright. I'll make the calls now."
Guo Xuyang hung up the phone and opened the message sent by Wu Youzhi.
Jiang Qixin: ten billion.
Elena: ten billion.
Cheng Xiuping: ten billion.
Wu Youzhi: ten billion.
Xiao Yun: ten billion.
Lü Liang: two billion.
Su Ran: two billion.
Pi Xiaoqian: two billion.
Li Minxi: one billion.
Guo Xuyang: forty-three billion.
Total: one hundred billion.
"Dividends will be distributed according to the investment ratio. All dividend funds will come from the sale of rough stones purchased and cut in Myanmar. In case of unforeseen circumstances causing losses, each investor will bear their own losses according to their investment ratio."
After reading it, Guo Xuyang thought for a moment and added another clause.
All jadeite obtained from rough stones in Myanmar will have priority purchasing rights from Kyoto Ruixiang Jade Specialty Store, Zhenbaoge, Shanghai Xuri Dongsheng Jade Gold and Silver Jewelry Store, and Provincial Capital Jinbaolai Jade Specialty Store. If disputes arise, the highest bidder wins.
After Guo Xuyang made the changes, he had Elena review it.
Elena naturally had no objections.
She was now entirely focused on protecting her pregnancy and had no time to deal with matters of making money.
"Darling, I won't go to Myanmar. I don't want to be running back and forth. I'll wait for you here," Elena said.
"Who will take care of you if you're here alone?"
"It's okay. I can take care of myself. Besides, there are hotel staff here. It's fine."
"How about we buy a property? We'll need to come here often in the future. After all, staying in hotels isn't a long-term solution."
"Sure. I'll live here permanently from now on."
"Let's search for suitable properties online first, and then we can view them in person to avoid unnecessary travel."
The two took out their phones and started searching for real estate information.
"Let's buy a Siheyuan (courtyard house). They'll appreciate in value too," Guo Xuyang said.
"Since I'll be living alone, it's better to buy an apartment, preferably closer to Panjiayuan. It'll be convenient to help out at the store later," she replied.
"How can you be alone? I'll come and stay with you."
"You won't always be by my side," Elena said.
"You are so outstanding; many women will surely fall in love with you. I am already very happy to have your care. I never expected to possess you exclusively."
Guo Xuyang felt a bit sad listening to Elena.
But undeniably, what she said was very practical.
Since gaining his special ability, he felt that the trajectory of his life had changed a lot.
He also knew that with great power came great responsibility.
There were indeed many properties near Panjiayuan, such as Huawei North Lane, Bijing Garden, Xijing Jia Yuan, Baihuan Garden, etc. The prices were not too expensive, all under ten million.
He then looked at a few more courtyard houses; they ranged from thirty million to fifty million, and even over a hundred million, primarily depending on the location.
Houhai was relatively more expensive, as were properties within the Second Ring Road, while others were comparatively cheaper.
Finally, the two chose two high-rise apartments near Panjiayuan and a villa in Houhai, planning to visit them in person when they had time.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lü Liang called.
"Yangzi, come over. Qi Fankun just called and said he can be here at four."
"Okay, Brother Liang. We're on our way."
Guo Xuyang asked Elena to get dressed and put on a thick down jacket before they left the room.
