C185 There's a Child in the Womb
Hsu Pinglan sat in her wheelchair, facing the glass door of the living room. She opened the glass door and walked out of the courtyard.
Qin Luoluo brought her a cup of hot tea. "Second Aunt, have some tea. This tea was made with the tea set I gave Grandpa Mu."
Hsu Pinglan took the tea cup and looked at Qin Luoluo, "Sit down and talk to me."
"Okay." Qin Luoluo saw Hsu Pinglan sitting alone and thought that she was bored.
Hsu Pinglan took a sip of tea and looked at Qin Luoluo with a calm gaze, "Xuanxuan, it is said that you and Ye grew up under our watch. Although you have been overseas for six years, I have always thought highly of you and Ye."
There were only the two of them in the corner of the living room. Hsu Pinglan's voice was very soft and was not afraid that others would hear their conversation.
Qin Luoluo was slightly stunned and then smiled. "Second Aunt, what are you talking about? I grew up with Ye, but he and I are like brothers and sisters."
It was Mu Tingye who had personally admitted this, not to mention that they had not met and interacted for six years. Time could change people. She was very confused about Mu Tingye now. For example, she could not understand why he liked Ji Nian.
Hsu Pinglan slightly curved her lips and looked at her sharply. "If you call me Second Aunt, I will know what you are thinking. Don't tell me you really admit that you and Ye are siblings. You don't have any feelings for him."
Qin Luoluo suddenly became silent, not knowing if it was because she was embarrassed to admit that she had feelings for Mu Tingye or because Hsu Pinglan saw through her thoughts.
Hsu Pinglan's gaze turned to Ji Nian, who was surrounded by the people from the third room, and said softly, "The status of our Mu family is here, and Ye's identity is also here. A family like ours should have found a woman of equal status. Ji Nian was not only divorced but also did not have any background. How can such a woman enter the Mu family?" She looked at Qin Luoluo again after she finished speaking.
She held Qin Luoluo's hand and spoke in an unusually solemn tone, "Luoluo, only a girl with your status and identity can match Ye. You don't want the world to laugh at Ye for finding a woman with no status and who is still divorced, right?"
"I..." Qin Luoluo frowned. She did not think too much about it. She was just not sure if Mu Tingye was serious about Ji Nian.
She came tonight and found that Mu Tingye actually brought Ji Nian back to eat with his family. She also heard him admit that they were only siblings. She was a proud person. Being rejected repeatedly already made her feel defeated in her heart. She was trying to convince herself to give up.
Hsu Pinglan held her hand tightly. "Luoluo, actually Ye's parents do not like Ji Nian very much. If the old man did not ask Ji Nian to bring soup, they would not be willing to meet Ji Nian tonight. You are different. I can see that Ye's parents like you very much. Your grandfather and my old man are friends again. You are much stronger than Ji Nian. Are you really willing to give Ye to someone else? Or is it Ji Nian who is inferior to you in every aspect? "
Qin Luoluo was shocked. Yes, could it be that she was really willing to let Mu Tingye out?
She hadn't even confessed to him yet. He didn't know her feelings at all. How could she, the dignified young miss of Qin family, be so useless? She didn't even dare to speak when she had a crush on a man.
Furthermore, she had been hiding such thoughts for so many years. She couldn't just watch as her feelings were silently submerged.
"Second Aunt, what do you think I should do?" Qin Luoluo seemed to have understood and held Hsu Pinglan's hand.
Hsu Pinglan's eyes were filled with a faint smile, "Don't worry, as long as our family does not accept Ji Nian. You have the chance to be with Ye, you need to be more in contact with him and care about him. It is best to find time to express your feelings. "
She finally patted Qin Luoluo's hand lightly and got closer to her. She lowered her voice and said, "No matter what, I am on your side."
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Qin Luoluo's eyes were filled with gratitude towards Hsu Pinglan. She felt that her heart that was about to die rekindle.
That's right. As long as she worked hard and fought for it, Mu Tingye would definitely return to her side.
Wait. Qin Luoluo walked back to chat with everyone. Mu Jintian walked out from the other side and stood beside his mother. "Mom."
The mother and son looked at each other. Only they could understand the meaning behind it. Mu Jintian looked at Ji Nian, who was being pestered by Mu Yun.
It could be seen that she was very careful tonight, but she did not deliberately try to please anyone. She slightly turned her face. From his angle, he could see her fair neck. He felt a little itchy in his heart. This woman was getting more and more to his liking.
Mu Jintian narrowed his eyes and covered the danger of plundering inside. He clenched his hands in his pocket. Ji Nian, who was drunk last night, ran back to Mu Tingye's place? What a coincidence that Mu Tingye came back last night again?
The nanny came over and called Ji Nian to the kitchen. She said Ye Meihui was looking for her. Although Ji Nian was surprised, she still followed the nanny to the kitchen.
The kitchen was very big, wide and clean. Ye Meihui saw her come in and said to her, "Come here."
Ji Nian walked forward suspiciously, "Auntie?"
Ye Meihui brought a bowl of food in front of her, "Eat this."2
Ji Nian looked at the seemingly sticky but sparkling red dates lying on top of it. She did not take it and asked with a slight frown, "This is?"
Ye Meihui's face was still cold and her words were also indifferent, "A bird's nest with red dates. Don't you see the condition of your body? Can't you make up for a little bit of nutrition that can sustain two people?"
Ji Nian blinked her eyes and her brain quickly operated. She finally understood what Ye Meihui meant by 'two people's nutrition'. Now they still think that she still had Mu Tingye's child in her womb?
Ji Nian felt that this misunderstanding had really blown up. One day when it was exposed, not to mention Ye Meihui did not have a good impression of her, perhaps even the people of Mu family would not have a good impression of her.
Wasn't this deceiving their feelings and scheming to borrow the child to enter the Mu family? She could not do such a thing that Qiao An'er had done before.
"Auntie, actually I..." Ji Nian was just about to explain when Mu Tingye, who came out of the study, came over. "Mom, Nian Nian, what are you guys doing here?"
Ye Meihui saw her son come in and stuffed the bowl of bird's nest and red dates into his hands. "You came at the right time. Watch her finish this." As if giving out a mission, she handed the food to Mu Tingye and went out.
Mu Tingye looked at the bird's nest in his hands and raised his eyebrows. He handed it to her and said, "Since Mom prepared this for you, eat it."
Ji Nian raised her eyes and stared at him. "You haven't told your parents about this?"
Mu Tingye did not seem to understand and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
"It, it is about you saying that I am pregnant." Ji Nian stared at him. He would not have forgotten about this, would he?
Mu Tingye really did not seem to remember this. "Isn't it just fake pregnancy? It's fine. If they like to misunderstand, then let it be a misunderstanding."
He did not think it was a big deal. He handed her the bird's nest in his hand again. "You have to eat this. It's Mom's wish, or you want me to feed you."
