Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Forcing Her to Undergo an Examination
"Stop."
Ningwan berated.
Shao stopped at the door, but with clenched fists, he turned around and said with a pained expression, "Sis, Wu Taotao is already like this, and you still want to stop me from settling accounts with that bastard?"
"What account do you want to settle with him? Beat him up? He could easily report you to the police and get you arrested, and then what about your college? Besides, hitting him, does it help? Love is a matter for two people, Wu Taotao gambled and lost, she has to accept it. Do you really think by going to him, he will change his mind?" Ningwan questioned.
"I..."
Shao was at a loss for words.
He knew his sister was right.
But... he understood the reasoning, yet he felt utterly frustrated inside.
"I talked to Taotao yesterday. Her summer vacation is coming up, so she shouldn’t stay here, she should go back home. The village head hasn’t seen her for a long time, he must miss her. Wu Wei has been sent out by me to handle some matters and won’t be back for a while. It’s just right for her to go back now. However, I don’t feel at ease letting her go back alone, maybe you should stop working and accompany her back." Ningwan suggested again.
Shao’s eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Sure, I’ll accompany her back."
Ningwan looked at his excited expression, shook her head, and asked, "Shao, do you really like Taotao?"
Shao blushed and awkwardly walked back, sitting down next to Ningwan.
Seeing him acting like this, Ningwan said with exasperation, "A man should own up, if you like her, you like her, if you don’t, you don’t. Why be so bashful, like a girl, what does that look like?"
"Sis..."
Shao frowned with grievance.
Ningwan said, "Calling out to me won’t help, my name won’t provide you an answer."
Shao sighed dejectedly.
After lowering his head, he softly replied, "Yes, I like her, but... she just treats me like a kid, she doesn’t like me at all."
"Now that she’s broken up with Leng Ziqing, don’t you have your opportunity? But Shao, before you confess, make sure about your feelings first. Don’t give her hope and then snuff it out with your own hands."
Just like Leng Ziqing.
If at the beginning, he hadn’t given Wu Taotao hope, maybe she wouldn’t be so hurt.
Giving hope at first, then taking it back, that’s the cruelest.
"I know, I’ll accompany her back. First, make sure of my feelings and then confess to her." Shao nodded.
Ningwan reached out and ruffled his hair, "My brother is still smart, much better than someone else’s brother."
Shao couldn’t help but smile as his sister praised him.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
Ningwan asked Shao to open the door, it was Mrs. Chen who came in.
Mrs. Chen came in, saw Ningwan, and respectfully greeted, "Miss Ye."
Ningwan nodded, "Mrs. Chen, do you have something?"
Mrs. Chen said, "Old Mrs. Zhan knows Miss Ye stayed here last night, so she specially asked me to come over in the morning to escort you back."
Ningwan frowned, "My friend isn’t feeling well, I told Zhan Hanjue about it, he knows."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "The young master has told the old lady, but the old lady still feels that staying outside isn’t good. So, she insists Miss Ye return, and also, there are some matters needing Miss Ye."
Ningwan stood up, "Alright, I’ll pack up and head back."
Mrs. Chen nodded, waiting in the living room.
Ningwan went back to the room, left a note for Wu Taotao, then woke Wangyue up, washed up and went back.
Before leaving, she reminded Shao to take good care of Wu Taotao.
"Mrs. Chen, did Mrs. Leng go to the Zhan Family early this morning?"
After getting in the car, Ningwan asked Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen’s face stiffened for a moment, then she awkwardly nodded, "Yes, she went to see the old lady this morning."
"Such filial piety, she wasn’t so filial before, why such a change now?" Ningwan asked with a smile.
Mrs. Chen didn’t like Mrs. Leng either, she used to glare at the old lady, now she eagerly comes over, obviously with no good intentions.
So, Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and told Ningwan the truth.
"Miss Ye, Mrs. Leng came over to inquire about you. Knowing you’re pregnant, Mrs. Leng said she wanted to find a doctor to take a look at you, so there are doctors and medical equipment at home."
Ningwan snorted, as expected.
But isn’t she too stupid?
Did she forget who she is?
Still trying to uncover the truth from her.
"Miss Ye, you surely didn’t deceive the old lady, did you?" Mrs. Chen asked again worriedly.
Ningwan said, "Anything can be faked, but can a child be faked? Of course not."
Only then did Mrs. Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
"That’s good. The old lady was worried, afraid that you were deceiving her."
The car soon drove back home, Ningwan got off and followed Mrs. Chen to Old Mrs. Zhan’s courtyard.
Sure enough, Mrs. Leng was there with a few doctors.
They even brought ultrasound equipment.
Seeing such a big turnout, Ningwan snorted with laughter.
This Mrs. Leng went to great lengths to expose her.
Old Mrs. Zhan, seeing her arrive, immediately said, "Ningwan, your aunt doesn’t believe that you’re pregnant. So, she brought doctors here today for a check. Don’t be angry, treat it as a prenatal check-up."
Ningwan smiled and said, "I’m not angry, Aunt is also considering the Zhan Family, I can understand."
"It’s good if you understand. The equipment and doctors are here, prepare for the check," Mrs. Leng said.
Ningwan looked at the doctors and suddenly asked, "What’s the radiation wattage of this equipment?"
The doctors seemed surprised she would suddenly ask this question.
After a pause, they replied, "Any equipment has a certain amount of radiation, however, this radiation is within a controllable range. Especially with ultrasounds, since they involve pregnant women, they’re definitely within a controllable range and won’t cause too much harm to the body."
"The professional medical equipment in hospitals, their radiation levels, are naturally within a controllable range. This I know, anything not within range requires protective clothing. However, your equipment... seems somewhat dated! It doesn’t look like a current model; older equipment wasn’t so precise, right?"
"Ningwan, what do you mean by this?" Mrs. Leng couldn’t help but scold when she saw her asking around.
Ningwan rubbed her belly and said, "Aunt, after all, it concerns the child in my belly. The food and items I use, I always need to know clearly. What if your machine has a lot of radiation, and it radiates the fetus in my belly, what if it’s born with defects?"
"Born with defects?"
Old Mrs. Zhan was shocked, and her face turned white immediately.
Ningwan immediately and solemnly said, "Grandma, of course, it could happen. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mrs. Chen to check how harmful radiation is."
Old Mrs. Zhan immediately gave Mrs. Chen a look.
Mrs. Chen nodded and quickly checked on her phone.
After finding the information, she immediately told Old Mrs. Zhan, "Old lady, radiation indeed has very harmful effects."
"This check can’t be done," Old Mrs. Zhan immediately said, "Anything that harms my great-grandchild cannot be done."
"What if she’s faking the pregnancy?" Mrs. Leng said.
"Whether it’s true or not, I have my own judgment. Matters of the Zhan Family, isn’t it that the Leng Family is overreaching?"
Zhan Hanjue walked over with a stern face, questioning.
