Ruan Qingshu was fully confident that if she said this, her uncle would believe her and stop arguing with her. In her imagination, her words were enough to dispel her uncle's doubts and recognize her efforts and achievements in the Auto Parts Center.

She still had a confident smile on her face, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes, as if she had already seen her uncle praising her highly.

But Gao Huan just didn't buy it. Gao Huan's face darkened, and his weathered face was full of determination and doubt.

He picked up the phone decisively and prepared to call his son. In his rough hands, the phone seemed to have become a sharp weapon to find the truth.

"Hey! Uncle, eat some vegetables!" Seeing this, Ruan Qingshu panicked and quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.

Her movements were a little flustered, and the smile on her face became a little stiff. She tried to stop Gao Huan from calling in this way, hoping to continue to maintain the lie she had made up.

"Okay, I'll call my son first, otherwise he won't even know we're back!" Gao Huan said firmly, not affected by Ruan Qingshu's actions at all. He dialed his son's number with one click, staring at the phone screen, waiting for his son's response.

Ruan Meixiang was very angry when she thought about her son hanging up the phone on her this morning. Her face instantly turned red, and her anger was like a volcano about to erupt. She slammed the chopsticks on the table with force, making a loud "bang". "Why are you hitting me? He hung up the phone for his wife this morning! This son has married a wife and forgotten his mother!" Ruan Meixiang's voice was sharp and harsh, full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

Gao Huan couldn't stand his wife's elbows being bent outwards, so he frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. He ignored her and continued to wait for his son Gao Zhan to answer the phone.

All he had in his heart was a persistent pursuit of the truth, and he chose to ignore his wife's complaints.

The phone rang in the silent air, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't answer it. Ruan Meixiang was so angry that she wanted to smash the bowl. Her face turned ashen, and her eyes were burning with anger.

"Look, look, isn't that what I said? This is a typical wife slave!" Her voice was trembling, full of anger and helplessness. She felt that she was ignored by her husband.

In the corner of the noisy restaurant, Gao Huan sat there quietly. His face looked a little tired, but his eyes were firm, which was the calmness and independence given to him by his life experience over the years. He would not be easily instigated or influenced by his wife.

He folded his hands on the table, and his fingers tapped the table unconsciously, showing his inner uneasiness. Although his expression was calm with a hint of solemnity, his eyes kept looking at the door, as if he was expecting something, and there was a hint of worry in his heart, but he was still waiting patiently.

Time seemed to be extraordinarily long, and every second was tormenting his heart. The noise around him seemed to be isolated from him, and his mind was entirely on his family who had not returned.

Finally, the long-awaited phone call broke the silence. Gao Huan seemed to be awakened, and instantly became alert, and couldn't wait to answer the phone.

Before he could say anything, his son's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dad, you're back! There are vegetables in the refrigerator, you and mom can make some for yourselves! Lianlian is in the hospital!"

"What? Lianlian is in the hospital. How did it happen? Why didn't you tell me!" Gao Heng stood up suddenly in surprise. His face was instantly filled with astonishment. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of shock and anxiety.

His mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a moment because of the sudden news. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" character, and the wrinkles on his forehead were also squeezed together.

His body trembled slightly, and his feet moved unconsciously, as if he wanted to rush to the hospital immediately. His eyes revealed his deep concern for his daughter-in-law and his dissatisfaction with his son for not informing him in time.

Gao Zhan was also shocked on the other end of the phone, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart. He sat in his room, looking out the window, his brows furrowed, his face showing a helpless and aggrieved expression.

Her eyes were slightly drooped, and her gaze was somewhat empty, as if she was recalling what happened. "You should ask mom about this. Lianlian was almost frightened into miscarriage.

"Mom only cares about my cousin, and doesn't even care about me! It seems she didn't tell Dad about this! My son is so disappointed!" Gao Zhan's words were full of grievance and helplessness, and his voice was slightly choked. He held the phone tightly in his hand, and his knuckles turned white because of the force.

"I'll go to the hospital right away!" Xiao Heng glared at his wife fiercely, his eyes full of anger and reproach, as if he was about to spit fire. His eyes were like two sharp swords, shooting straight at his wife.

At this moment, his dissatisfaction with his wife had reached its peak, and he felt that his wife had gone too far in this matter.

His breathing became rapid, his chest heaved violently, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

Ruan Meixiang felt puzzled by her husband's glare. She was sitting on the chair opposite, drinking tea leisurely. After being glared at by her husband, she frowned, a trace of doubt and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she curled her lips and said, "What are you looking at?" She didn't realize her problem at all, and still looked indifferent.

She put down the teacup, folded her hands across her chest, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, as if she was very dissatisfied with her husband's reaction.

Gao Heng hung up the phone and said angrily: "If anything happens to my grandson, I will never forgive you!" As he said that, he quickly picked up the bag beside him and strode out of the restaurant. His hurried back showed his anxious mood and concern for his daughter-in-law. His face was full of anxiety and worry.

He took big steps, almost jogging as he left, as if every second of delay would increase his worries.

"Hey, hey! Lao Gao hasn't eaten yet!" Ruan Meixiang shouted with a puzzled look on her face. Her voice was sharp and anxious. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction and confusion.

At this moment, she was sitting at the dining table, the food in front of her was still steaming, and the piece of food she had just picked up with chopsticks was still hanging in the air, but she was startled by Gao Heng's behavior and stopped moving. Looking at Gao Heng's hurriedly leaving back, she felt aggrieved and puzzled, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something.

"Leave it for you! How can you still have the mood to eat when your daughter-in-law is in trouble?" Gao Heng said this and disappeared quickly.

His voice was filled with anxiety and anger, and it was so loud that it seemed to burst through the small restaurant. His footsteps were as hurried as an ant on a hot pot, and each step was very big, bringing up a breeze, as if he couldn't delay for a second. His hurriedly leaving figure was full of determination, and the corners of his clothes fluttered slightly because of his fast walking.
