Su Xiufen wanted to scold her youngest daughter, but she saw that Jiang Zao seemed unaffected and drank two big mouthfuls of chicken soup.

The reprimand that was about to be uttered was abruptly changed, turning into a comforting remark.

"Xiaozao, don't just drink the soup, eat more meat."

As soon as Su Xiufen finished speaking, a pair of chopsticks were promptly handed to Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao had already developed a great fondness for this gentle mother-in-law.

Seeing the chopsticks handed to me, my heart, warmed by the chicken soup, softened even more instantly.

In her short life of twenty years, apart from the director and the volunteer sister, no one had ever treated her so well.

Or rather, she had never felt so valued before.

Although it benefited from the original owner's fame.

With such a wonderful mother-in-law, the original owner was truly blessed but didn't know it.

"it is good."

Jiangzao nodded.

I took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken leg meat, and took a bite.

The chicken soup was delicious, and the meat was even more fragrant.

"How is it? Is it to your liking?" Su Xiufen asked.

"Uh-huh."

With chicken in her mouth, Jiang Zao's cheeks were bulging, making it difficult for her to speak; she could only nod emphatically.

It's just my taste.

Su Xiufen was completely relieved and coaxed Jiang Zao with a smile, "Eat slowly, there's plenty more in the thermos, it's all yours."

"Vulgar! Rude! You have no manners when you eat!" Lu Yanting complained disdainfully.

As soon as Lu Yanting finished speaking, she received two sharp glares from her mother and sister.

Lu Yanting glared at Jiang Zao, who ate so rudely, then took Lu Yanxun's arm and complained indignantly, "Brother, look at her with her mouth all greasy, how disgusting!"

"The more I look at her, the more I feel that she can't even compare to a single hair on Sister Xiaoyue's head!"

Lu Yanting spoke the last sentence softly, as if she was deliberately lowering her voice.

Perhaps because her tone was so firm, her voice still reached everyone's ears, neither too loud nor too soft.

Jiang Zao, of course, heard it too.

She immediately stopped chewing and looked straight at Lu Yanxun.

The nickname "Sister Xiaoyue" is not unfamiliar to Jiang Zao.

She not only knew Xiaoyue's full name, but also her relationship with Lu Yanxun.

Su Xinyue is the legendary childhood sweetheart of Lu Yanxun, who attended a prestigious university.

Jiang Zao thought that Lu Yanxun must have hated and resented Lu Yanxun to the extreme when he was brutally violated by the original owner.

I wonder what the reaction would be if this unrequited love were mentioned now?

That's right, Jiang Zao was actually watching Lu Yanxun with the mindset of watching gossip.

She was curious to see what kind of expression Lu Yanxun, a man of unparalleled beauty and aloofness, would make upon hearing Lu Yanting's words.

There is no other intention.

Jiang Zao swore that she really only wanted to see gossip about handsome men.

Her eyes also held a look of pure anticipation, as if she were watching a good show.

However, in the eyes of the Lu family, Jiang Zao looked at Lu Yanxun with the air of someone who wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Tingting!" Su Xiufen shouted at her youngest daughter, "Get out of here right now!"

Lu Yanting never expected her usually gentle mother to scold her in such a sharp tone.

The people were stunned by the insults and didn't react for a moment.

"Weiwei, take your sister out. Don't let her come in again and get in your sister-in-law's way!" Su Xiufen ordered her eldest daughter with a cold face.

Without hesitation, Lu Yanwei grabbed Lu Yanting's arm and pulled her outside.

Jiang Zao focused intently on Lu Yanxun's expression.

They didn't even blink, not wanting to miss any clue on his face.

Unfortunately, Lu Yanxun's reaction was not as strong as Jiang Zao had imagined.

Let alone intense, even indifference wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Because Lu Yanxun only frowned slightly.

His expression and eyes didn't change at all.

Jiang Zao, who had hoped to see a handsome man perform a face-changing act, was quite disappointed.

Jiang Zao sighed softly. Before the disappointment in her heart could settle, the baby in her belly suddenly started to move around.

"Ouch!"

Jiangzao seemed to have been kicked by the baby and instinctively let out a soft cry.

She didn't hold the bowl properly and accidentally spilled some chicken soup on the quilt.

Su Xiufen hurriedly took away Jiangzao's bowl, "Xiaozao, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset again?"

"I... Ouch~"

Just as Jiang Zao was about to speak, the baby kicked her again.

My stomach started to hurt a little.

The memory of the excruciating stomach pain she had experienced earlier instantly returned to Jiang Zao's mind.

Fearing she would suffer the same pain again, she turned pale with fright.

"The baby is moving!" Jiang Zao hugged her belly in fear, looking at Su Xiufen helplessly. "What should I do? They're moving. I'm so scared."

She doesn't want to be in so much pain anymore.

"What should I do... someone save me?!" Jiang Zao was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes filled with terror.

Seeing Jiang Zao's appearance, Su Xiufen also panicked: "Weiwei, quickly go and call Dr. Chen!"

Lu Yanwei responded and quickly ran outside.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to drag his annoying younger sister along with him.

"She...she's faking it, right? What a coincidence, she just started having stomach aches as soon as I mentioned Sister Xiaoyue..."

Lu Yanting was also a little guilty, but she expressed her doubts.

This isn't the first or second time that Jiang Zao has feigned illness to cause trouble.

Lu Yanwei was angered by her words and angrily shook off Lu Yanting's hand.

She accused her: "Tingting, you've gone too far! Your sister-in-law finally agreed to eat, and you brought up Sister Xiaoyue in front of her!"

Lu Yanting retorted stubbornly, "Am I not telling the truth? She's no match for a single hair of Xiaoyue's. Don't you always think so, sis?"

"Yes, I do think so too, but it wasn't Sister Xiaoyue who married my brother! My sister-in-law cares about my brother so much, Sister Xiaoyue is her rival in love. Didn't you consider the consequences of saying in front of her that she's not even worth a hair on her rival's head!"

"Tingting, no matter how willful you are, you can't disregard the bigger picture. What if your words upset your sister-in-law and cause her to have a miscarriage..."

Lu Yanwei paused, took a deep breath, and said, "She's carrying my brother's child, my parents' grandson, our little nephew, our family's precious baby! If the child gets seriously injured from all this, our whole family will just give up on living!"

Lu Yanting was rendered speechless by her sister's barrage of words.

She was so focused on embarrassing Jiang Zao that she completely forgot about all of this.

My sister is right, she was too willful.

“I…” Lu Yanting bit her lip, her eyes revealing guilt and fear.

"Forget it, now is not the time to reflect on our mistakes. Let's go find a doctor."

Lu Yanwei left after saying that.

Lu Yanting followed closely behind with a feeling of trepidation.

In the ward, Jiang Zao had gone from sitting to lying down.

The baby is moving around a lot in my belly.

This time it didn't hurt much, but Jiangzao was still terrified.

The sheer fear made her break out in a cold sweat.

She kept muttering that she wanted to go home: "I want to go back, I don't want to stay here anymore, why are they treating me like this... why? I didn't do anything wrong, why are they treating me like this..."
