There were two difficult problems now.
One was whether to report the well, and the other was what to do with this little one.
It was clearly none of their business, but He Yao's mother insisted on going out to discuss it with her stepfather.
He Yao glared at her, "Go tell him to give you advice, go on."
"Give him your brain, your life, your heart, lungs, everything! You idiot who doesn't know right from wrong!"
He Yao's mother was so angry she saw stars. Before she could scold her, the doctor couldn't stand it and said to He Yao,
"How can this child be so rebellious at such a young age? Speaking so nastily? She's your own mother, can't she say a few words to you when something like this happens?"
He Yao retorted even to her, "What do you know?"
"You people who think you have the right to discipline others just because you're a bit older, you hypocritical so-called adults, you disgust me."
"If you're going to do it, do it now. Take it out. I'll decide my own matters. If you dare to go tell that person about my business, believe it or not, I'll jump off the building for you to see!"
He Yao's mother was so angry she was about to die. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach, looking pained.
Her aunt scolded again, "He Yao, stop talking. Be a human. Are you only satisfied when you make your mother angry to death? She just came out of confinement, you know that..."
Amidst the commotion, the doctor couldn't help but shake his head.
"Alright, alright, all of you go out. Even if you want to do it, you can't today. You need a physical examination, make an appointment, and then you can go home and discuss it properly before coming back. Don't make my place look like a wet market."
The three of them were ushered out.
Her uncle, stepfather, and He Chuan waited outside the consultation room. Seeing them come out, they immediately surrounded them.
He Yao pushed through the crowd to leave, but her stepfather's iron-like hand gripped her arm.
"Where are you going? The matter isn't finished, where are you running off to?"
"It has nothing to do with you, let go of me!"
Her stepfather didn't let go and asked her mother, "What did she say?"
He Yao's mother, with tears and snot streaming down her face, handed him the medical report.
He Yao reached out to snatch it, but he gently turned and raised his arm, dodging her.
"She really is pregnant. This is the good daughter you raised."
He Yao's mother looked at him with a guilty and pained expression, unable to speak.
He Yao was also furious with her.
What sin had she committed in her past life to end up with such a love-struck and spineless mother?
"This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you, give it back!"
Her stepfather crumpled the report, put it in his pocket, and turned to look at her expressionlessly.
"Is it that man from last time?"
He Yao's pupils contracted uncontrollably, but she quickly concealed it.
He suspected Zhan Jingrui?
This was not a good sign.
"I don't understand what you're babbling about. I said, give me my things back!"
Her stepfather, the old fox, still saw through her.
"When I came to your house last time, I could tell you two were unusual. Good kid. Tricking you under our noses, he's really something."
He Yao kicked him, "Stop talking nonsense, give it back to me!"
"The facts are right in front of us, you can't deny it. Come on, go back with me."
He was like the backbone of this group. After speaking, he grabbed He Yao's arm and turned, and everyone followed him in a rush.
They all bundled He Yao back to No. 7 Mansion.
To He Yao's surprise, the car didn't stop at their doorstep but drove directly towards Zhan Jingrui's house across the street.
This time, she truly panicked and screamed in the car.
"What are you doing? Where are you going? Are you crazy? I told you it has nothing to do with him, why are you going to his house? Stop! Let me out!"
"Ma Songhan, I told you to stop and let me out, are you deaf?"
Her stepfather ignored her curses and drove the car straight to Tang Dad and Tang Mom's place.
Everyone got out with a rustle, and He Yao was dragged out too.
Her stepfather and He Chuan held her tightly. Her left shoulder ached excruciatingly, and she felt like her arm was going to be crippled.
When it came to holding someone accountable, with her dear husband's support, He Yao's mother had more courage than ever, almost pressing the doorbell to death.
Soon, the video on the door connected, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.
"Who are you looking for?"
He Yao's mother was momentarily speechless. She looked back at her dear husband, and her stepfather spat out three words menacingly.
"Zhan Jingrui."
"I'm looking for Zhan Jingrui."
After a moment, the voice inside changed to a calm and gentle middle-aged woman.
"May I ask who you are? Is there something you need Zhan Jingrui for?"
Her stepfather pulled He Yao's arm forward, pushed He Yao's mother aside, and spoke to the person inside himself.
"Hello, Ms. Tang. I'm Ma Songhan, who lives across the street. We've met before."
"I'm very sorry to bother you at this time, but it's because something extremely important has happened at home that I dare to come over. Please open the door, and we can talk in person."
The company was on winter break, and Tang Nannan and Hu Jiasheng returned together to celebrate the New Year with their parents.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was a time for family reunion and joy.
After lunch, everyone was comfortably chatting in the living room when this incident occurred.
Hu Jiasheng led the way, and everyone followed behind him into the yard.
Upon opening the door and seeing a large group of strangers standing outside, Hu Jiasheng frowned.
Ma Songhan proactively extended his hand to shake his, and introductions were exchanged.
Then he said, "It's not a particularly glorious matter. If others overhear it, it won't be good for your family's reputation. Why don't you let us in to talk?"
Hu Jiasheng was particularly put off by this type of smiling-faced tiger.
Moreover, he had heard his in-laws mention their neighbors across the street during his stay and had been warned not to engage with them.
Now that he met them in person, his feelings were the same as his in-laws'.
They had different paths and couldn't plan together. There was no need to be polite with them, so he didn't invite them in.
"It's fine, you can say whatever you need to say here."
It was too obvious that they looked down on them.
Ma Songhan gave a self-mocking laugh, took out the examination report from his pocket, and handed it over.
"This is my daughter's examination report, just taken from the hospital. Please take a look."
Hu Jiasheng took it and looked down at the report. Tang Nannan also cast her gaze upon it.
Although they were both surprised and guessed what had happened at the same time, they both managed their expressions well, appearing as calm as still water.
After reading it, they calmly handed the report to the two elders behind them, and then said to Ma Songhan in a low voice,
"I don't understand. What does this have to do with us? What do you want to discuss with us, Mr. Ma?"
Ma Songhan smiled and said, "It seems Zhan Jingrui isn't here. Otherwise, as a father-to-be, he wouldn't be so scared that he wouldn't even show his face."
"Discuss what? Of course, it's about the examination report. Can you make decisions for him?"
Hu Jiasheng looked at him and then shifted his gaze from him to He Yao behind him.
