Power and Wealth

Chapter 1532 – Finally met his child

Hospital.

Corridor.

After the female doctor announced the safety of the mother and child, the corridor erupted with excitement. Dong Xuebing was ecstatic, and Han Jing and Xia Yanzhen were joyful.

“She’s given birth.”

“That’s great.”

“How much does the baby weigh?”

“Six pounds two ounces.”

“Alright, he’s quite slim, huh?”

“Can we go in, doctor?”

“You’ll have to wait a bit longer. Not now.”

Even Xie Guobang, who rarely smiled, smiled at this moment and said to Han Jing, “Let Senior Xie know.”

Han Jing smiled and said, “Right, almost forgot. Where’s my phone?”

“Look at you, haha, use mine.” Xie Guojian took out his phone and handed it over.

Han Jing immediately called Senior Xie’s house, “Hey, Dad, she’s given birth, six pounds two ounces, a chubby little boy, both mother and child are fine.”

“That’s great!” Senior Xie laughed heartily.

His laughter was loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.

Everyone exchanged glances and congratulated Xie Guobang, Han Jing, and Dong Xuebing.

After responding a few times, Dong Xuebing couldn’t help but approach the operating room door again, leaning against the crack and trying to look inside. Still, he couldn’t see anything, his expression showing how anxious he was.

Cui Lifen chuckled and pointed at Dong Xuebing, “This kid.”

Han Jing also laughed, “Look how anxious my son-in-law is.”

Xie Guobang said, “This kid if it weren’t for Huilan stopping him just now, he would have barged in. I had to hold him back several times.”

Cui Lifen glanced at her husband and chuckled, “Don’t talk about other people’s kids. Although Xiao Bing is impulsive, you were just as anxious to enter the delivery room when I gave birth to Xiao Hao. That’s how parents are. They’re all the same.”

Xie Guobang looked at his son-in-law and said, “Tell your mother.”

Han Jing quickly said, “Right, tell your in-laws too. Give me the phone in a moment.”

Now, Dong Xuebing’s mind focused solely on Huilan and the child, and he had no other thoughts. Hearing his father-in-law and mother-in-law’s words, he finally realized that he couldn’t neglect informing his mother about such a big event. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Luan Xiaoping’s number.

“Hello?” answered his mother.

“Mom, it’s me,” Dong Xuebing said.

“I know it’s you. What’s wrong?” his mother asked.

Dong Xuebing exclaimed excitedly, “Huilan has given birth just now!”

“What? She’s given birth already?” His mother’s voice suddenly raised, “How is she? Is it a boy? How much does he weigh?”

“It’s a boy, over six pounds,” Dong Xuebing said.

“Good, that’s good! You wait, I’m coming over right now.”

“Oh, you’re coming from so far away. No need to rush.”

“Why shouldn’t I rush? That’s my chubby grandson. Can I not take a look? I have to see him. Okay, wait for me. I’ll ask Old Yang to find a car and take me there.”

“Oh, right, Huilan’s mother wants to talk to you.” Dong Xuebing handed the phone over.

Han Jing came over to take the phone, “Hello, in-law, hehe, it’s me. It’s great news, the house will be lively this time, right? Huilan has safely given birth, and I can finally relax. If you want to come over, it’s great. I’ll arrange for a car to pick you up.”

Shortly after, a nurse came out from inside and nodded to a few doctors outside.

The female doctor nodded and smiled at the family members, “You can go in now, but only two people at a time, and only for about five minutes. The mother is quite thin and weak and needs to rest immediately, so please understand. Everything will be fine tomorrow.”

Dong Xuebing hurriedly said, “I’ll go, I’ll go.”

Xie Hao was speechless, “Why only allow two people in? I also want to see my nephew.”

Xie Guoliang and Xie Guojian naturally wouldn’t compete, so Xie Guobang took a step forward, ready to go inside with Dong Xuebing. However, as soon as he took a step, he was grabbed by his wife. Han Jing hastily hung up the phone and rushed in first. Xie Guobang could only helplessly shake his head. With Xie Guobang’s status, no one would dare to stop him from entering the operating room. But since the doctor said only two people could go in, it must have been considered for various reasons, also for the sake of Huilan and the child. So, Xie Guobang waited outside.

Inside.

First, there was an outer room.

“Please put on these clothes,” a nurse brought two blue antibacterial suits and hats for Dong Xuebing and Han Jing, making them look like they were undergoing surgery.

“Okay,” Han Jing quickly put it on.

Dong Xuebing complained, “Your hospital is so troublesome. In other places, husbands can accompany their wives when they give birth. But here, they don’t even let us in, and so many restrictions exist.”

The young nurse smiled wryly, “It’s the rules, and we…”

“It’s alright.” Han Jing smiled at the nurse and then looked at her son-in-law, “Every hospital has different rules. Having more rules doesn’t mean it’s bad. It shows their professionalism and responsibility to the mother and child. Huilan is so thin, and the baby’s weight isn’t much. Their physical condition must be lower than average. What if there are some bacteria? Alright, Xiao Bing, let’s go in quickly. Mom can’t wait any longer.”

Dong Xuebing knew it might be because the hospital knew about Xie’s background, so they became cautious. If it were an ordinary person giving birth, there probably wouldn’t be such strict restrictions. So, he didn’t say anything more and walked towards the opposite room.

“Wah, wah.”

It was crying.

It was the baby’s cry.

Dong Xuebing’s breathing became rapid.

But Han Jing, who was fifty years old, was quicker to react than Dong Xuebing, a young man. She dashed into the room.

Dong Xuebing followed closely. As soon as he entered, he saw Xie Huilan lying on the bed. She was still awake and looked in good spirits, but her complexion was pale, and there was still some sweat on her forehead, giving off a somewhat exhausted aura. However, Huilan’s eyes were full of maternal love as she smiled and gently rocked the chubby baby, letting him sway in her arms like on a swing. She was also speaking softly to the baby. It was the first time Dong Xuebing had seen Huilan with such a gentle expression. In the past, his wife always had a smiley face but was inwardly cold. Now, she looked exceptionally beautiful.

“Baby, good baby.”

“Wah, wah.”

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, Mommy is here.”

“Wah, wah.”

“You’re a big boy. Listen to Mommy and stop crying.”

The baby seemed to understand, or maybe he was just tired of crying, as he slowly stopped crying and curiously looked around, observing the world.

Han Jing and Dong Xuebing came in, and then the difference between the two became apparent.

Han Jing didn’t even hesitate. She immediately focused on the baby, smiling uncontrollably as she stepped forward and took the baby into her arms. “Oh my, look at our handsome grandson. His nose looks like Huilan’s, his eyes also resemble Huilan’s, and his ears look like Xuebing’s. Hehe, so good, really good.”

Meanwhile, Dong Xuebing didn’t glance at the baby but headed straight to Huilan’s bedside. “How are you feeling? Are you in pain?”

Huilan smiled, “It hurts a little, but it’s bearable.”

Dong Xuebing felt distressed, “What should we do then?”

“It’s okay, I’ll be fine tomorrow, hehe.”

“Then I’ll stay with you today. I don’t feel at ease leaving you alone.”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. You all go back. I’ll be fine with the doctor here.”

“Are you sure?”

“Hehe, I’m sure.” Huilan reached out under the blanket, touched Dong Xuebing’s hand, played with it momentarily, and then looked at Han Jing, “Our little husband is the best. Look at my mother. She doesn’t even recognize her daughter when she sees her grandson. She doesn’t even spare me a glance.”

Holding the baby, Han Jing was pleased and said, “I’ve seen you for over thirty years. I’m tired of looking at you. Look, isn’t my grandson cute?”

Huilan smiled lightly, “Let his dad hold him, too.”

Han Jing suddenly remembered, “Xuebing, come.”

“Hmm.” Dong Xuebing, upon hearing this, became nervous and stiffly stood up, glanced at the baby, rubbed his hands, and then took him from Han Jing.

The baby looked at Dong Xuebing, grinned, and started crying again.

Dong Xuebing became flustered, “Be good, I’m your daddy, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Despite trying to comfort him for a while, the baby kept crying.

Huilan waved her hand, “Give him to me.”

Dong Xuebing had to hand the baby over to his wife carefully.

Huilan held the baby lovingly, kissed his cheek gently, then didn’t do much to comfort him, and the baby stopped crying, peacefully resting in his mother’s arms with big eyes open, unaware of his surroundings.

Dong Xuebing felt frustrated, “He just came out and slapped my face, this little troublemaker.”

Han Jing laughed, “Boys usually favor their mothers more. It’s natural. It’ll be better in the future.” After saying that, Han Jing went up again, “Huilan, let mom hold the baby again.”

Huilan refused, “You’ve just held him for a while, don’t fuss.”

“Come on, Mom hasn’t held him enough yet.” Han Jing insisted and went up to snatch him. She no longer had the demeanor of the First Lady of the City, just a loving elder.

Huilan asked, “What about my dad and them?”

Han Jing replied, “They’re all waiting outside. They weren’t allowed in. The doctor said you’re physically weak and must rest earlier, so let’s return tomorrow.”

Huilan nodded, “Then you all go back.”

A doctor approached, “It’s about time, what do you think?”

Han Jing reluctantly let go of the baby’s hand, but seeing her daughter’s exhausted appearance, she said nothing. After handing the baby to the doctor, she said, “Then rest well, Huilan.”

Dong Xuebing immediately said, “Mom, you all go back. I won’t leave.”

“Huilan needs to rest. You won’t be allowed in the ward later. Why stay?”

“I’ll wait outside. If anything happens, I’ll be able to handle it. We need someone here.”

“Well, okay.”
