"Is mom talking about Nuannuan?"
"No—" Just as she finished saying that, Gu Mom realized, "Yes, yes, it’s usually tougher with the first pregnancy, the doctors all know that, right, Professor Tang?"
"Yes, first-ti pregnant won do tend to struggle more."
Everyone was seen comforting Dabai.
Zang Xiaolian also whispered to Xiao Yebai, "Second Brother, should I call Third Brother over?"
"What for?" Xiao Yebai frowned and shook his head, saying, "Besides, aren’t you here?"
Zang Xiaolian was montarily stunned by his last words, then the corners of his mouth curved as if showing a smile, "Yes."
Outside, slowly, sunlight began to stream in, signaling the dawn.
Gu Dad’s phone connected, and Xiao Yebai sent soone to the airport to pick up Gu Dad. Gu Dad initially said there was no need, but upon hearing about his daughter’s and child’s accident, he was as shocked as Gu Mom was, almost losing his soul, urgently nodding, wishing he had wings to fly over imdiately.
anwhile, at the Xiao Family’s place, those who hadn’t left yet, including Xiao Shuju and Xiao Jianming, heard the whispers. The phone was first directed by the old lady, and Xiao Shuju dialed Xiao Yebai’s mobile.
Xiao Yebai didn’t answer; the person who picked up was Gu Mom.
"Hello, Yebai just stepped away, who is this? Do you need to talk to him?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Shuju was montarily stunned; upon careful thought, she recognized it as Gu Nuan’s mother’s voice.
The old lady beside her was anxiously tiptoeing: What’s happening?
"Auntie." Xiao Shuju took a breath, trying to adjust that uncomfortable feeling when facing Gu Mom; no, more accurately, feeling remorseful for her previous disdainful attitude towards Gu Mom.
Gu Mom was equally surprised upon hearing her voice, then rembered, "You’re Yebai’s sister, right? Which sister?"
Xiao Shuju imdiately felt relieved, as Gu Mom’s tone didn’t seem to bla her, she laughed, "I’m his third sister, Auntie."
The third sister from the Xiao Family. Gu Mom recalled everyone, but really couldn’t distinguish between those sisters from the Xiao Family.
"Yebai just stepped away and didn’t take his phone. Is there anything you need?" After all, they are relatives by marriage, Gu Mom engaged politely.
Xiao Shuju beca pleased, her speech becoming more fluent, "Auntie, actually, it’s like this, we heard about Yebai’s wife and child last night—so, Grandma and I wish to visit and check on the pregnant woman." Coming to visit is normal; if people on the son-in-law’s side weren’t worried about the woman and child, then that would be heartless.
Gu Mom agreed imdiately.
Neither the old lady nor Xiao Shuju expected it to be so smooth, turns out Gu Mom is so easily swayed.
Preparing to get into the car, the old lady spoke to Xiao Shuju, "They say everyone in their family has good character, easy to get along with, it all seems true."
Xiao Shuju understood the old lady’s insinuation, her words really ant Gu Dad and Gu Mom are the kind-hearted ones likely to suffer losses easily.
Thus, next, the old lady plans to implent her strategy. Thinking now that Gu Nuan is in trouble, it indicates that house might indeed be cursed. She’s going to inform Gu Mom, pulling the Gu couple to her side, to see if they could persuade Xiao Yebai and Gu Nuan, the young couple.
The old lady’s excitent led the Xiao Family to arrive at the Ruan Family villa before Gu Dad.
When Gu Mom heard the relatives had arrived, she naturally had to go to the entrance to greet them.
The old lady saw Gu Mom and imdiately warmly grasped Gu Mom’s hand, "How long has it been since we t."
Gu Mom thought, they’ve only t once, right? That ti, Gu Mom was tricked by soone into coming to this house and was prepared to make a fool of herself.
