Chapter 204 - 80: 60% of Moda Film and Television, Zhiwei Barbecue

Three hours later, a nurse called out from inside, "Jing Shiyun’s family."

Jiang Li shot forward. "I’m her daughter. How is she?"

The nurse said, "The surgery was a success. You can moisten her lips when you get back to the room. After 2 o’clock, she can have some liquid food."

Hearing this, the tension that had gripped Jiang Li finally eased.

But the moment she relaxed, her vision went black, her legs gave out, and she fainted.

Thankfully, Shen Yanzhi had been keeping a close eye on Jiang Li and caught her in time. Otherwise, that fall might have cost them the baby.

When Jiang Li woke up again, she was lying in a hospital bed. Jing Shiyun’s displeased voice was the first thing she heard. "Honestly, you two... How could you keep something as big as Xiao Li’s pregnancy a secret?"

Shen Yanzhi explained, "I saw some netizens say that you shouldn’t tell anyone before the first three months are over. We weren’t trying to hide it on purpose."

Jing Shiyun clicked her tongue, saying with some amusement, "You went to college, for crying out loud. How can you still believe in that stuff?"

Before Shen Yanzhi could speak, Jiang Bowen jumped in. "That’s just what happens when you care too much."

Jing Shiyun irritably slapped Jiang Bowen. "If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re a mute."

Jiang Bowen gritted his teeth. "Our son-in-law is right here. At least let me keep some of my dignity."

Jing Shiyun slapped him again, this time with the back of her hand. "Who said you get to have dignity?"

Jiang Bowen just chuckled and took Jing Shiyun’s hand. "Honey, did you hurt your hand hitting me? Let your husband rub it for you!"

Jiang Li couldn’t listen to this anymore. ’Married for decades, and they’re still not sick of being this sappy!’

Jiang Li threw back the covers. "Hey, Mom, Dad! Can you two tone it down a little?!"

Shen Yanzhi immediately turned his head. Noticing she was trying to sit up, he quickly reached out to support her waist. "How are you? Feeling any better?"

Jiang Li nodded. "Much better."

"But what happened to me earlier? Why did I just faint out of the blue?"

She thought her physical constitution was pretty good. She never expected she could faint just from being pregnant, especially so early on.

Shen Yanzhi answered, "The doctor said it was low blood sugar, plus you were under too much emotional strain. That’s why you fainted when you relaxed. They said you should try to keep your emotions stable and avoid major swings, so it doesn’t affect your health."

Actually, the doctor’s original words were: "If her emotions fluctuate too much, it could affect the fetus."

But he didn’t dare say that in front of Jiang Li, afraid she’d think he only cared about the baby and not her.

Jiang Li clicked her tongue and grumbled to herself, ’Being pregnant is such a hassle.’

She suddenly remembered that ever since she’d been bound to the system, she hadn’t really talked to it. Other than knowing about the cashback, she had no idea if it had any other functions.

After all, in a lot of web novels, the "nouveau riche" systems had check-ins and lotteries.

Now, Jiang Li was desperate to know if the system had other functions. "Got it," she said distractedly.

Leaving them with, "I’m going to the restroom," she got out of bed.

Once in the restroom, she locked the door, sat on the toilet lid, and called out to the ceiling, "Sister Tongzi, Sister Tongzi!"

[Host, I am here!]

Jiang Li’s eyes lit up. She pressed, "Besides cashback, do you have any other functions? Like a lottery or check-ins?"

[I do.]

Jiang Li was so angry she wanted to cuss. ’It’s been bound to me for so long, and it never said a thing about having check-ins and a lottery!’

’Too bad the system doesn’t have a physical body, or I’d definitely have to give it a good kicking.’

’If I don’t ask, does it not know to speak up on its own?’

She took a deep breath. "Then... what about all the check-ins and lottery draws from this whole time...?"

[They’re gone~]

’So infuriating!!!’

’But whatever. A person should be content.’

’I’ve already gotten so much cashback, so it doesn’t matter if there were no check-ins or lotteries.’

"Okay, I want to check in now."

[Check-in successful. Reward: 100,000 in cash.]

[Considering the Host is currently pregnant, you are awarded one Fetus Protection Pill. This will ensure all prenatal checkups go smoothly and you experience no pregnancy-related symptoms.]

The moment the system’s voice faded, a small, brown pill materialized in front of Jiang Li. It looked a lot like a Malteser, just a miniature version.

Jiang Li’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Holy shit! This is too damn magical!"

She had no idea where the little pill had even come from.

’They always say: system-made means quality-guaranteed.’

’Since it can get rid of pregnancy symptoms and ensure all my checkups go smoothly, what’s there to hesitate about?’

She grabbed the pill and popped it into her mouth.

She didn’t even chew, just swallowed it whole.

After a minute or two, there was no reaction. Jiang Li began to wonder if she’d actually taken the Fetus Protection Pill at all.
