"You, what did you say? Something happened! They were doing business in the parking lot! How could something happen?" Ruan Meixiang panicked. She stood up suddenly, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a "click". Her eyes were wide open, full of astonishment and worry, and her eyeballs seemed to be popping out.

The muscles on her face tensed instantly, her mouth opened wide, forming a circle, and her face turned pale. Her hands unconsciously grasped the armrests of the chair tightly, her fingers turned white due to the force, and her body trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

Ruan Qingshu was secretly glad at the side. She patted her chest in an exaggerated motion, as if she was trying to calm her heartbeat. A trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, pretending to be calm on her face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an unnatural smile.

But my heart was beating fast, the "thump, thump, thump" sound of my heartbeat seemed to echo in my ears. I was worried that my affair would be discovered, and beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

Ruan Meixiang turned her head and asked, "What did he just say? Where are you going?"

Her eyes were full of anxiety, and she stared at Ruan Qingshu closely, as if she wanted to find the answer from her face. Her voice was slightly trembling, with a hint of crying, showing her inner uneasiness and anxiety.

She leaned forward slightly and waved her hands in the air unconsciously, as if urging Ruan Qingshu to answer quickly.

Ruan Qingshu shook her head and pretended not to know what she heard: "Aunt, eat your fill first before talking about anything. Don't let unnecessary things affect your appetite!"

As she spoke, she picked up another piece of meat for her, trying to appease Ruan Meixiang in this way, and also wanted to divert her attention. Her face was full of smiles, but the smiles were a little stiff, there was a hint of flattery in her eyes, and the hands that picked up the food were a little trembling.

Ruan Qingshu sat next to Ruan Meixiang, his eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of disdain hung on the corners of his mouth, thinking secretly in his heart: "Feng Lianlian, that country girl, has her cousin pampering her every day, what can happen to her! Humph, if something really happens, it will be even better. Without the child, it will be even more difficult for her to gain a foothold in this family. Let's see how proud she is!"

As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a gloating sneer.

"Aunt, please don't worry about Feng Lianlian! She is a village girl with a tough life! Besides, with my cousin by her side, what can happen to her? Just relax. Aunt, after you finish your meal, come to my house and play. Let my dad bring you wealth, fortune and grandchildren! My dad has studied a lot of tricks in this area recently, and it works!"

Ruan Qingshu's cousin Ruan Meixiang stuffed food into her mouth while talking excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement and a smug smile on her face.

Ruan Meixiang believed this. When she heard this, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits: "Okay, okay, then I must eat my fill and go see your father! Maybe it will really bring me good luck!"

As he spoke, he stuffed another big mouthful of food into his mouth and ate it with relish, his face full of anticipation.

At this time, Gao Heng was rushing to the hospital. Along the way, he looked extremely anxious, frowned, and kept urging the driver to drive faster. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the ward.

When he saw his daughter-in-law Feng Lianlian lying on the bed with a pale face and an IV in her hand, he felt heartbroken by her frail appearance.

His brows furrowed even more tightly, his eyes full of worry and concern. He walked gently to the bedside, held Feng Lianlian's hand, and murmured to himself: "Lianlian, you must get better soon..." His face was full of anxiety and heartache, and fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.

A trace of relieved smile slowly appeared on Feng Lianlian's pale face. The smile, though weak, was as warm as the spring sun. She said softly, "Dad, the child is saved. Don't worry!" There was a gleam of relief in her eyes, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth seemed to tell of her inner joy.

Her eyes were as clear as water, but now they were covered with a thin layer of mist because of the thrill she had just experienced. Feng Lianlian thought silently in her heart, fortunately the child was fine, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

There have been too many disputes in this family. I just hope to give birth to the child safely and give the child a warm home.

Gao Heng turned his head away, his face full of reproach, and scolded his son Gao Zhan in a stern tone: "How can you be so careless! You can't even take care of your own wife and children."

His brows were knitted tightly together, as if they were twisted into an unsolvable knot, and his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction with his son. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, trembling slightly, showing his inner anger.

"Father-in-law, you need to ask mother-in-law about this. She called me so early in the morning and scared my Lianlian like this! Ask her what rebellious thing my Lianlian did that she has to be punished like this?"

Zeng Hongdi, who was standing by, was angry and said in dissatisfaction. Her eyes were burning with anger, as if she wanted to burn everything around her. She slightly straightened her chest, as if she was defending her daughter. Her lips were tightly pursed, and the wrinkles on her face were even deeper because of anger.

"What? It was Xiangxiang who did it? What's going on?" Gao Heng's eyes were instantly filled with anger. He never expected that it was his wife who did it.

His face was terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm. His eyes were full of confusion and shock, and the veins on his forehead were slightly protruding, showing his inner excitement.

Feng Lianlian shook her head gently and said weakly, "Dad, I don't know either. I was half asleep early in the morning when Mom called me. As soon as I picked up the phone, she started yelling over there. That's what scared me!"

There was a trace of grievance on her face, and her eyes were slightly red, as if she was still frightened by the memory of the scene. Feng Lianlian felt sad, wondering what she had done wrong to deserve such a shock.

She didn't understand why her mother-in-law treated her like this. Was it because she came from the countryside? Her voice was trembling, like a leaf falling in the wind, which made people feel pity.

"This Ruan Meixiang, how can she be a mother-in-law!" Gao Heng was so angry that his hands were shaking. His wife had not even told him about this. His chest was heaving violently, and his anger was hard to calm down.

His fingers were clenched tightly into his palms, as if he wanted to vent the anger in his heart in this way.

Gao Zhan then added aggrievedly from the side: "I sent Lianlian to the hospital, and Mom kept calling me! But Lianlian fainted, and I had to take her to the hospital, so I didn't have time to pick her up! Finally, Lianlian was admitted to the emergency room, and I answered Mom's call. I didn't expect the first sentence was about Ruan Qingshu!"

His face was full of helplessness and grievance, and his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction with his mother. His hair was a little messy, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. It was obvious that he had been anxious and busy in the process of sending his wife to the hospital.
