Soul Returns to Hong Kong: From Tailor Shop to Richest Woman

The next morning, Lin Ying finished washing up and sat down at her dressing table. She picked up the calendar on the table and circled a few dates on it with a pen.

My period in November is late.

In the past, when I was busy with work, my body did experience delays, but this time it feels completely different.

During the few days Wenxu took leave to come over in early November, they didn't take any precautions; at that time, the two were deeply in love, so they just let things take their course.

She was carefully calculating the time in her mind, and had a very strong premonition.

Lin Ying changed into a loose casual outfit, took out her car keys from the drawer, and drove herself to Central.

She went to the most upscale private maternity hospital in Hong Kong. This hospital is extremely private and is very popular among celebrities and wealthy women.

The hospital staff were very professional and did not show any curiosity about her coming alone; they arranged for her to have a consultation with the best specialists without any obstacles, and the blood tests, ultrasounds, and other routine examinations were carried out in an orderly manner.

The wait for the results wasn't long. Lin Ying sat on the sofa in the VIP ward, flipping through the magazine next to her.

The doctor walked in with the test results: "Ms. Lin, congratulations."

Lin Ying took the order and looked directly at the conclusion at the bottom.

"You are indeed pregnant, right?" Lin Ying confirmed.

"Yes, according to the ultrasound, you are currently seven weeks pregnant," the doctor explained, pointing to the data on the report.

Lin Ying nodded slightly, her face showing no panic. She took out her notebook and pen.

"When is your due date?" Lin Ying asked, preparing to take notes.

"Based on the timeline, the due date is in mid-August next year," the doctor gave a precise range.

Lin Ying noted down this time and began quickly planning the work schedule for next year.

In mid-August, the equipment in the second phase of the new factory in Shenzhen was finally debugged; Chen Guodong and his team would take charge of the follow-up orders, and the research and development of the second-generation large-screen color TV could enter the final testing stage.

The timing was perfectly arranged.

"Are there any special things to pay attention to in the first three months?" Lin Ying continued to ask.

"You should pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid raw, cold, and overly spicy foods," the doctor explained in detail.

"High-intensity physical labor should be absolutely avoided, and emotions should be kept stable; moderate walking is acceptable, but strenuous exercise should be avoided."

The doctor then gave Lin Ying a pregnancy handbook; Lin Ying asked a few more questions, which the doctor answered one by one.

The entire examination process took less than two hours. Lin Ying handled everything at the hospital by herself and walked out of the hospital gate with a thick stack of documents.

Lin Ying didn't start the car immediately after getting back in; she placed her hand on her flat stomach, feeling the wonderful change.

This is the first time she has been a mother, across both her lifetimes.

In her previous life, her body was riddled with wounds, making it impossible for her to even live another day, let alone conceive a new life. Now, she has a healthy body and is about to welcome a child with her own blood.

Lin Ying was very happy and started the car, driving towards the Kadoorie Hill villa.

In the villa's living room, Lin Lanying and He Dazhu were discussing next week's menu with their Filipino maid.

Lin Ying changed her shoes and went inside, placing her handbag on the coffee table.

"Mommy, Daddy, stop what you're doing for a moment."

Lin Lanying looked over with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Does the factory have another urgent order to process?"

"It's not about the factory, I'm pregnant."

........

"What did you say?" Lin Lanying was completely surprised.

"I went to a private hospital in Central this morning for a full checkup." Lin Ying took the hospital's examination report out of her bag and placed it on the table: "I'm seven weeks pregnant, and my due date is in mid-August next year."

Lin Lanying immediately grabbed the form. Although she couldn't understand the complicated medical terms and indicators on it, she clearly recognized the words "seven weeks pregnant" in the lower right corner.

"Seven weeks? If we calculate the time, that's when Wen Xu was on vacation in Shenzhen at the beginning of last month?" He Dazhu immediately calculated the time difference.

"It's him," Lin Ying readily admitted.

He Dazhu was so happy that he spun around twice on the spot: "Oh my, my sister's pregnant! Lan Ying, did you hear that? My sister's pregnant!"

Lin Lanying glared at him: "I'm not deaf!"

After saying that, she looked at Lin Ying again: "You went for the checkup alone?"

"Um."

Why didn't you ask me to come with you?

I'm afraid you're more nervous than I am.

Lin Lanying was speechless at those words. She realized that she was indeed nervous. She put the report on the coffee table, sat down next to Lin Ying, and carefully looked at her stomach.

"Are you feeling unwell? Nauseous? Dizzy? Has any doctor advised you to stay in bed?"

"No, everything is normal."

"Even in normal circumstances, we can't be careless." Lin Lanying immediately got into the planning mode. "Starting today, stop drinking coffee, don't eat cold food, and eat meals on time."

Lin Ying: "Mommy, I'm not a patient."

"Pregnant women are even more critical than patients." Lin Lanying said, then realized it was an ominous remark and quickly corrected herself, "No, I meant we need to be careful."

He Dazhu had already started flipping through his phone book: "Should I tell your grandfather?"

Lin Ying raised her hand: "Wait."

He Dazhu stopped: "Why? Your grandfather will be happy to know about something this big."

"I'll tell Grandpa, but I'll call him myself tonight; and I'll also find a suitable time to tell Wenxu."

Lin Lanying heard Wen Xu ask, "Does he know you might be pregnant?"

"I don't know yet."

"What will his reaction be when he finds out?"

Lin Ying looked at her: "He will take responsibility, but I don't need him to take responsibility through marriage; we've talked about it before, the child will take my surname, Lin."

Lin Lanying remained silent. She had already made the same mistakes in Shenzhen last time, so she didn't rush to intervene this time.

"Mommy knows; as long as you think it through, Mommy won't say anything nonsense."

Lin Ying looked at her, her heart softening a little: "Thank you, Mommy."

Lin Lanying almost burst into tears: "Don't try that on me; thanking me only makes me feel worse."

He Dazhu, standing nearby, asked, "When will Wen Xu arrive? Does he need to know the prenatal checkup schedule? Is there anything he needs to prepare?"

Lin Ying said helplessly, "Old Dou, he hasn't received the notification yet."

"Then you should notify them quickly."

"He might not be able to answer the phone at his work location."

Lin Lanying immediately said, "Then write a letter? Or send a fax? No, what if someone sees a fax of something like this?"

He Dazhu nodded: "Yes, we can't fax it, and we have to think carefully about writing a letter."

Seeing the two of them discussing earnestly, Lin Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Seeing her smile, Lin Lanying felt a little relieved: "What would you like to eat for lunch? Shall I cook you porridge? Or soup? No, did the doctor say anything I can't eat?"

Lin Ying handed her the pregnancy handbook: "Look at this."

Lin Lanying took the manual, flipped through a couple of pages with a serious expression; He Dazhu leaned over: "Let me take a look too."

Lin Lanying pushed him away: "Go buy groceries first, buy fresh ones! Don't buy any random supplements, ask the doctor first."

He Dazhu nodded immediately: "I'll go now."

He walked to the door, then turned back: "Little sister, what kind of fruit would you like to eat?"

Lin Ying: "Either is fine."

Lin Lanying immediately said, "Not all of them are fine; asking her is pointless, buy something milder."

He Dazhu: "Then I'll buy apples, oranges, and grapes."

Lin Lanying: "Wash the grapes thoroughly."

He Dazhu: "Understood."

After the door closed, Lin Lanying sat back down next to Lin Ying and gently placed her hand on the back of her hand: "Ying, Mommy is very happy."

Lin Ying looked at her and said, "I know."

"I'm also a little scared." Lin Lanying looked down at the report. "You used to be in poor health... Mommy was always worried that you would work too hard."

Lin Ying grasped her hand in return: "The doctor said everything is normal now. I will go for my prenatal checkups on time and won't push myself too hard."

Lin Lanying looked at her: "Can you really do it?"

"Okay, I did it."

Lin Lanying nodded, "That's more like it."

Lin Ying leaned back on the sofa and touched her lower abdomen.

Seven weeks... mid-August; a small new date has been added to her life plan.

She needs to adjust her strategic plans for next year; with changes in her health, she needs to minimize the frequency of long-distance business trips.

The matters concerning channel expansion and business development must be entirely handled by Xu Jianlan and Chen Guodong; she only needs to sit in the rear and control the overall direction.
