《IPWTVC[COMPLETED]》🌸 Chapter 157 - 158

People were coming and going in the side hall. There was the continuous sound of happiness and laughter. Shen Weiyin leisurely walked into the side hall from the main hall and looked around the room before resting her gaze on Mrs. Lu, who was sitting in the middle of a sofa. She greeted Mrs. Lu with a smile and said, "Aunty, congratulations."
Mother Lu, who had been talking and laughing with a group of ladies, turned her head and looked at Shen Weiyin with a smile. There was a pause before she spoke. For a moment, she didn't recognize Shen Weiyin. Her gaze flickered and she finally said in surprise, "I haven't seen you in so long. Weiyin, you've gotten prettier."
"Aunty, don't tease me. I have dark circles under my eyes from staying up late in the past few days to shoot a movie."
Shen Weiyin had a picturesque and exquisite figure. In order to look good on camera, she specially maintained her figure. She was 1.7 meters tall and under 45 kilograms. Her appearance was outstanding. Even when she was wearing a white dress that didn't have any decorations and was in extremely ordinary style, she was the focus of attention.
Her father's younger brother's wife pulled her to the sofa to sit down.
Ye Zhen looked at Shen Weiyin's seductive figure, then silently looked down at her own well-rounded waist and hips. She really had to put weight loss onto her schedule.
Mrs. Lu was displeased to hear that. "Staying up late is very bad for your health. No matter how important shooting a movie is, you have to pay attention to your health. You're too thin. You should learn from Zhenzhen. Eat more food each meal. You'll look better if you're plumper."
Elders truly felt that plumper girls looked better. They worried that being too skinny was bad for your health. During Ye Zhen's first trimester of pregnancy, Mrs. Lu often said that she was too thin and fattened her up by feeding her 6 to 7 meals a day.
Mrs. Lu had a sense of accomplishment in successfully fattening up Ye Zhen.
Once Mrs. Lu said these words, her family and friends echoed her sentiments.

"Yeah, girls go on diets so easily these days. That's bad for their health. A figure like Zhenzhen's is very good. Weiyin, you're too thin. You should eat more."
"By the way, Weiyin, have you been looking for a boyfriend recently?"
Shen Weiyin showed a smile appropriate to the situation. "I've been busy with work. I haven't had time."
There was a spell of sighs from the group of women.
"That's such a pity. You're such a good girl. I don't know which darn boy will swindle you in the future, but my cousin has a son. Do you remember that you used to play together with him when you were kids? You guys played together less and had less contact as you grew older. How about I introduce you to him? You can rest assured that he's an honest child."
In fact, anyone that could get an invitation and sit here would be able to introduce people that weren't bad options. Moreover, with Shen Weiyin's qualifications, it would be bad to introduce people that weren’t up to par.
Shen Weiyin politely refused, "Sorry Aunty Zhao, I'll be too busy with work. I really don't have the free time to spare for personal matters."
"That's okay. You guys can add each on WeChat and talk to each other. When you have more time in the future, you can get to know each other and go out to eat."
Shen Weiyin awkwardly smiled and didn't say anything.
Mrs. Zhao understood Shen Weiyin's meaning. Smiling, she said to Mrs. Lu, "Mrs. Lu, we've been chatting here for such a long time. Is your grandson awake yet? I want to see him. I like him so much just from looking at his photos. If he's awake, bring him out for me to see. I don't know when I'll be able to have a grandchild of my own to hold. Since that's the case, holding someone else's grandchild would be good too."
"Sure!" Mrs. Lu patted Ye Zhen. "Zhenzhen, can you go see if Zhouzhou is awake?"
Ye Zhen agreed and went upstairs to the nursery to check on Zhouzhou.
There were two nannies stationed in the nursery. Seeing Ye Zhen, one of them said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu, you don't have to worry. Young Master hasn't woken up yet."

Ye Zhen looked at the fair-skinned and chubby baby that was sleeping soundly in the crib. The sweet smell of milk permeated the space he was in. She couldn't resist leaning over and kissing him.
It was a very light kiss, but the baby woke up from it.
He didn't cry or fuss. He stretched out his little legs and his big eyes looked around until they settled on Ye Zhen without wavering. He reached out towards her and babbled.
"Want mom to hold you?"
The baby's little legs moved around more actively.
On the side, one of the nannies said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu, Young Master is usually very quiet. He doesn't cry or throw a tantrum. He's the most well-behaved baby that I've ever seen."
"Did you hear that?" Ye Zhen teased Zhouzhou, "She's praising you. You're a good baby. Don't pull on mom's hair again."
Zhouzhou kicked his feet. He seemed increasingly anxious and his babbling increased in volume.
Ye Zhen picked up the baby, gently patted his back, and headed downstairs.
When the people in the side hall saw Ye Zhen coming downstairs with the baby, they all looked up. The baby in the swaddling clothes looked cute and beautiful. He wasn't scared of strangers and looked at everyone with his big eyes. He would look straight at you, so cute and well-behaved. Truly, a very likeable baby.
There was an unending stream of praises. Everyone took this opportunity to take out the presents they had prepared for the baby. It didn't take long for this little baby to receive a lot of gifts.
In contrast, Shen Weiyin was standing at the side and quietly observing. She only looked at the baby for a few seconds and didn't look very happy to see him. Her expression was faint, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
One of the Lu family’s maids brought over a glass of juice for Shen Weiyin. A moment of carelessness when Shen Weiyin took the glass and she ended up spilling most of the juice on her white dress. The maid cried out in alarm and tried to wipe off the juice with her sleeve. Most of the eyes in the side hall turned to look at Shen Weiyin.
Shen Weiyin didn't get upset that her perfectly nice dress had gotten stained. She faintly smiled and comforted the maid that kept apologizing.
"Aunty, do you have any extra clothes? I..."
"Yes. Zhenzhen ah, go find clothes that haven't been worn yet for Weiyin." Mother Lu patted Ye Zhen's hand and whispered, "You're the host today. Don't lose face."
Ye Zhen understood her meaning. She stood up, led Shen Weiyin to her room on the second floor, and chose a blue dress that she hadn't worn before.
Shen Weiyin went into the bathroom and changed into the new dress. When she came out, she went to the dressing mirror and looked at her reflection from different angles. "Miss Ye, this dress is quite suitable for me. It looks like it was custom-made for me."
This woman was a deep and shrewd schemer and wouldn't be easy to deal with. Ye Zhen didn't want to bother with engaging in mind games with her.
"It's good that it fits you. Let's go downstairs."
"Miss Ye..."
Ye Zhen corrected her, "Please address me as Mrs. Lu. We should go downstairs."
However, Shen Weiyin stood still. She looked at Ye Zhen through the mirror. "I forgot to congratulate you. You successfully gave birth to Lu family's next heir. Now you can rest easy in the future."
Ye Zhen furrowed her brow. Why did Shen Weiyin say these words in such a provoking tone? Shen Weiyin was someone that had been in the entertainment circle for a long time. Her words had thorns in them and none of it was pleasant to hear.
Ye Zhen didn't feel like bickering with her. She raised her foot and walked towards the door.
"However, what I don't understand is, your son's first lunar month birthday should be a big event. Why was it so carelessly handled by having it at home instead of arranging an extravagant affair with no expenses spared?"
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile. "So Miss Shen thinks our Lu family's celebration is a shabby disgrace. That's okay. I'll escort you out then."
