She tilted her head back and drank all the milk, her throat rolling: "I will raise the baby myself."

"I work three jobs a day now." She patted her pregnant belly, "It's enough to support the two of us."

Although Wen Xiaoman said it calmly, Su Yutang felt that things might not be that simple.

She didn't say words of pity or comfort because Wen Xiaoman didn't need them.

She knew Wen Xiaoman's character very well. She looked weak, but was actually stubborn and had a strong sense of self-esteem.

Just then, the chef brought out the carefully prepared medicinal food, and the aroma filled the air.

"Eat it." Su Yutang put a piece of Codonopsis chicken into her bowl, "You are too thin."

Wen Xiaoman stared at the greasy chicken legs in the bowl, and suddenly her eyes turned red.

She stood up suddenly: "I'm going to the bathroom."

When the door closed, Erbao came over quietly and said, "Mommy, Auntie is crying."

Su Yutang rubbed Erbao's head and said, "It's okay. Auntie is so happy that she is crying."

......

In the evening, Bo Jingzhou returned home after a busy day and learned that Su Yutang had a friend come.

At first I thought it was Xu Yike, but when I asked I found out it was a friend I hadn’t seen for more than ten years.

The moment Bo Jingzhou saw Wen Xiaoman, he couldn't help but frown.

Wen Xiaoman is small and thin, and looks malnourished, as if he came from a slum.

Suspicious identity.

What was even more suspicious was that as soon as she saw him, she hid behind Su Yutang, her fingers tightly grasping the corner of Su Yutang's clothes.

In fact, Wen Xiaoman was very scared when she saw Bo Jingzhou, especially when she saw him looking at her with unfriendly eyes...

"Who is this?" Bo Jingzhou's voice couldn't help but become a little colder.

Su Yutang enthusiastically introduced the two to each other: "Wen Xiaoman, my best friend in junior high school."

"Xiaoman, this is my husband, Bo Jingzhou."

Wen Xiaoman bowed his head and called out, "Hello, Mr. Bo..."

Bo Jingzhou narrowed his eyes and did not respond.

friend?

After not seeing for more than ten years, he suddenly appears?

And why did he choose to do it when Su Yutang was pregnant?

Su Yutang stepped forward and continued, "Jingzhou, I plan to let Xiaoman live here for a while. It just so happens that we are both pregnant and in the same month, so she can keep me company."

What? You want to stay?

Bo Jingzhou said to Su Yutang, "Come with me."

Su Yutang blinked, somewhat confused, but when she saw Bo Jingzhou walk out with a cold face, she turned around to comfort Wen Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Wen Xiaoman nodded, but felt very uneasy.

Over there, Bo Jingzhou pulled Su Yutang to the corridor and said in a very low voice, "You want to let her stay?"

Su Yutang nodded: "Yes, is there a problem?"

"I don't agree." Bo Jingzhou expressed his thoughts.

"why?"

Su Yutang frowned: "Xiaoman is now homeless and pregnant. She doesn't even have anyone to take care of her. She has a hard time living alone."

"So what? Didn't she live like this before she met you?" Bo Jingzhou said indifferently.

He has never had much sympathy, and is even more wary of a stranger who suddenly appears.

Su Yutang shook her head: "That's different. Before she knew me, it was because no one helped her. Now she needs my help."

"So you feel sorry for her?" Bo Jingzhou sneered: "Do you know her background?"

Su Yutang: "Of course I understand."

Bo Jingzhou: "That was in the past. It's been so long. Do you know her current situation?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wen Xiaoman secretly looking over here with a wandering look.

So suspicious.

Bo Jingzhou's eyes darkened: "People will change."

Su Yutang paused, then raised her head and looked at him angrily: "Bo Jingzhou, why are you so cold-blooded? Xiaoman is my friend. She is in trouble now. I should help her!"

The two men's eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.

Bo Jingzhou's tone softened slightly: "Yutang, I'm not saying you can't help her. If you want to help, you can give her some money and let her leave. But staying here... Let alone not knowing her background, you're still pregnant, and I'm really worried about leaving a stranger at home."

Su Yutang, "I understand your concerns, but I know Xiaoman. She won't accept my money, let alone my charity."

"She won't accept your charity, but will accept to stay? And you still say you understand her?"

"You don't trust her, but you don't trust me either? I believe Xiaoman. She won't hurt me, let alone pose any threat to me."

Bo Jingzhou was silent for a moment: "At least let me find out her whereabouts in the past ten years."

"Whatever you want." Su Yutang turned around, "But she has to stay tonight."

Since I can't dispel his suspicion, let him investigate.

She walked back to the living room, leaving Bo Jingzhou standing alone in the shadow of the corridor.

Bo Jingzhou stared at Su Yutang's back with deep eyes, and then called Zhang Suo over.

"Go check out this Wen Xiaoman's background."

Zhang Suo: "Yes."

......

In the living room, Wen Xiaoman felt very uncomfortable.

The crystal chandelier is too bright.

The carpet is too soft.

Repulse Bay was too luxurious. She had stayed there for so long, had drunk and eaten enough, and it was time to leave.

When Su Yutang came back, she suddenly stood up and was about to leave: "Tangtang, I'd better go..."

Seeing this, Su Yutang hurriedly stopped her: "What's wrong?"

Wen Xiaoman lowered her head, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "This place...is not suitable for me, and the way I look at your husband, it seems like he wants to kill me..."

Su Yutang held Wen Xiaoman's cold hand: "Don't worry, Bo Jingzhou is just..."

"High vigilance." Wen Xiaoman forced a smile, "I understand."

She raised her head, a complex look flashing in her eyes: "Tangtang, actually I can..."

"Don't think too much, just stay here first." Su Yutang interrupted her firmly, "Just think of it as a way to put my mind at ease."

Wen Xiaoman opened his mouth, but finally just nodded slightly.

......

Soon, Zhang Suo gave the information he had found to Bo Jingzhou.

The information shows Wen Xiaoman's experience from birth to the present.

Bo Jingzhou was too lazy to read and asked Zhang Suo to pick out the important things to talk about.

Zhang Suo reported truthfully, "This Miss Wen and my wife were indeed classmates in junior high school. They used to be from Rongcheng. Later, their family suffered a tragedy. Their father went bankrupt, and their mother disappeared. The only thing that was not clean was that their father was in prison. However, I checked the economic case from that year and found no connection with Miss Wen..."

"Anyway, based on the information, Miss Wen doesn't seem like a bad person."

Bo Jingzhou didn't believe it and read the information again.

Although the information showed that her past was clean, Bo Jingzhou still did not dare to take it lightly because he could not judge a person by his appearance.

Especially when it comes to Su Yutang's safety.

At this critical juncture, a friend suddenly appeared and he had to be on guard.

"Send someone to secretly watch her." He said coldly, "If she dares to have any evil intentions, she must not be let off!"

Zhang Suo nodded: "Yes."
