Chapter 625: Chapter 655: That’s Too Miserable
Sun Lili was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh, I heard about that. I also heard Li Xiaomei was really unhappy. She wanted a grandson, so she just left the hospital the same day the baby was born. I never would have guessed that Aunt Li was so biased against girls."
To be honest, while some people in North City still prefer boys, it’s not usually that extreme.
Take Sun Lili’s family, for instance. They absolutely adore girls.
Sun Lili clicked her tongue. "Good thing I didn’t marry into that family. Otherwise, I’d have to spend the rest of my life unable to hold my head high just because I didn’t have a son. That would be awful."
Qin Jiao chuckled. "Tell me about it."
The two chatted for a little longer before leaving the restaurant. However, when they passed by the private room Lin Nian and her party were in, it was already empty.
But Qin Jiao knew Lin Nian had seen her, and she had a feeling this wasn’t over.
Qin Jiao was right. One day, while she was taking a walk in her residential complex, Lin Nian stopped her.
Lin Nian looked truly frightening now. ’She isn’t even that old, and she’s only had one child... Oh, no, that’s right, she had a miscarriage before, which must have taken a toll on her body. And she was in prison, too.’
Looking at Lin Nian, who was the same age as her but looked so much more weathered and had such a gloomy look in her eyes, Qin Jiao couldn’t help but sigh on her behalf.
’She clearly had a cheat system, so how did she manage to mess up her life this badly?’
Lin Nian glanced around furtively and said, "You saw what happened that day, didn’t you?"
Qin Jiao countered, "See what?"
Lin Nian sneered. "Don’t play dumb, Qin Jiao. I know you saw. Of course, you can just pretend you didn’t see anything. After all, it has nothing to do with you!"
Qin Jiao replied, "If that’s the case, why are you making such a scene?"
Lin Nian’s expression grew increasingly grim. Qin Jiao couldn’t stand it anymore and said with genuine concern, "You should go find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and get your health sorted out."
Lin Nian’s face immediately darkened.
To be fair, Qin Jiao genuinely meant well. She was suggesting Lin Nian get a check-up, specifically a gynecological exam.
’If she doesn’t take care of it now, she’ll have a lot to worry about when she gets older.’
Qin Jiao was pregnant now, and because of her rebirth, she was especially conscious about maintaining her health.
Sure enough, not long after, the wail of an ambulance suddenly echoed through the complex. Then, Shen Feng was seen running downstairs, anxiously clutching their child.
Lin Nian stood behind him, her expression even more ghastly than it had been a few days prior.
Qin Jiao had no interest in gossiping. She turned to go upstairs with her groceries, but two aunties nearby were busy swapping information.
"I hear there’s something wrong with the baby. Sleeps all day long."
"Hey, that can’t be right. Newborns are supposed to sleep a lot."
"This is different. They couldn’t wake the baby for a whole day and night, so they called an ambulance."
Qin Jiao frowned as she listened from the side. ’How could a baby be impossible to wake up?’
That afternoon, Su Yun came over with a pile of things. Since Shen Yi wasn’t home, Qin Jiao usually went over to her parents’ place in the neighboring complex for meals.
But today, she was feeling lazy and sleepy and hadn’t felt like moving. So Su Yun, worried about her daughter, had cooked a meal and brought it straight to her.
The moment Su Yun walked in and saw Qin Jiao yawning lazily, she asked, "Took another nap?"
"Yeah, I was up a little late last night."
"You should just focus on work during the day. No more staying up late at night, you hear me?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to whatever you say." Qin Jiao nodded obediently. She then opened the food container, and as the aroma wafted out, she immediately exclaimed, "Mom, your cooking is getting better and better!"
