Chapter 669: Chapter 658: Am I the Last One to Know?
Su Manhan sohow felt that she couldn’t detect any hint of joy in Zhan Nanqing’s tone.
But she was so incredibly happy at the mont that she couldn’t care less about Zhan Nanqing’s emotions, shaking the other’s hand vigorously several tis.
“Nanqing, you hurry up and call your brother with the good news. I’ll call your dad. Qiao Jing has even kept us in the dark; your brother must still be clueless. We’ll inform them first. Such great news should be known to them imdiately! Hahaha, I’m finally going to be a grandmother! I even thought your brother had so health problems before, but it turns out I misunderstood him!”
Zhan Nanqing’s arm, which Su Manhan was grabbing, hurt a bit, but she didn’t dare to spoil her mother’s good mood and silently endured the pain.
After all, she was still feeling guilty about keeping secrets from her mom.
Seeing Zhan Nanqing not making any move, Su Manhan anxiously shook her hand again.
“What are you standing there for? Call your brother and share the news!”
Zhan Nanqing, feeling a little dizzy from the shaking, and seeing that the situation had progressed to this point, realized that hiding the truth any longer would be in vain. She reluctantly decided to co clean.
“Mom, there’s no need to call my brother. He knows about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy.”
If she called her brother now, with her mom listening in, there was no way to pre-arrange for him to pretend to be surprised.
If her mom started to suspect sothing, it would only make things worse if discovered. She and her brother would be even more culpable, so it was better to report the truth directly to Old Madam now.
Upon hearing Zhan Nanqing’s words, Su Manhan’s smile stiffened, and then she sensed sothing.
“What do you an by that? You knew about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy too?”
Zhan Nanqing slightly shrank her neck and, steeling herself, nodded her head, speaking in a voice even softer than a mosquito’s buzz.
“Um…”
The next second, her ear was pinched by Su Manhan, not too lightly nor too heavily.
“Oh, I see! You and your brother were in cahoots to keep it from , right? If it weren’t for today’s accident, were you two planning to keep this from until my grandchild was born?”
Zhan Nanqing covered her ear in pain and quickly stepped back a few paces, moving out of Su Manhan’s reach.
“Ow… Mom, I didn’t an to keep it from you, it’s really not my fault! At that ti, Qiao Jing intended to keep it from all of us, and I only found out by accident. Do you rember when you dragged to Nantai Apartnt? That day Qiao Jing was lying on the couch feeling unwell, and you were finding fault with all sorts of things. Then she fainted, right?”
Su Manhan furrowed her brow and thought about it, and indeed there was such an incident.
The more she thought about her attitude towards Qiao Jing at the ti, the angrier she got, wishing she could travel back in ti and wake herself up with a scolding.
Su Manhan glared at Zhan Nanqing and grumbled:
“You just had to touch on a sore point. Now you remind again of how I mistreated Qiao Jing.”
Zhan Nanqing continued:
“That day I took Qiao Jing to the hospital, and that’s when I found out about her pregnancy after the check-up. Even my brother didn’t know about her pregnancy at that ti! Later, Qiao Jing specifically asked not to tell anyone, so I kept it a secret. My brother also found out by accident.”
After hearing Zhan Nanqing’s explanation, Su Manhan reluctantly let it go and thought of another person who was yet to be inford, which sowhat eased her mind.
“Then I’ll call your dad and let him know. He definitely doesn’t know yet, and as long as I’m not the last to find out, it’s fine.”
As she spoke, she made a phone call to Zhan Yao.
Zhan Yao answered quickly on the other end, anxious not to miss a second.
“Hello? What’s up?”
Su Manhan, feeling quite proud of herself, tilted her chin up slightly and mysteriously said:
“Guess what important thing I have to tell you?”
Zhan Yao, seeing Su Manhan playing coy, had an ominous feeling in his heart, and his eyelids began to twitch involuntarily.
“What important thing? Did you buy another villa?”
With a click of her tongue, Su Manhan looked at Zhan Yao as his thoughts wandered far and wide, feeling even more certain that he didn’t know about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy.
She opened her mouth with an air of triumph.
“Qiao Jing is pregnant! I’m going to be a grandmother! You’re the last one to know about this.”
Zhan Yao was stunned for a mont, shocked for several seconds, and he couldn’t even speak.
Once he regained his composure, what followed was an even greater joy.
“What? Qiao Jing is pregnant? I’m going to be a grandfather?! When did this happen?”
The corners of Su Manhan’s mouth almost reached the sky, she was so ecstatic.
“I don’t know exactly when Qiao Jing got pregnant, but as long as you know you’re going to be a grandfather, that’s good enough. Finally, it’s my turn to show off my grandchild! Anyway, I’ve got to go now, I just wanted to tell you.”
Zhan Yao hurriedly spoke, wanting to continue chatting with Su Manhan, but the call was abruptly disconnected.
Feeling quite good, Su Manhan glanced at Zhan Nanqing and slowly said:
“You should be glad I wasn’t the last one to know, or I would have given you both a piece of my mind!”
Zhan Nanqing, feeling sowhat guilty, shifted her gaze elsewhere.
“I’ve said this isn’t my fault; blaming is pointless.”
Thankfully, her dad didn’t know about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy. Otherwise, the Old Madam of her family might really have lost his temper.
Su Manhan had just cald down a bit when her suppressed anger surged back up again.
Her expression darkened in an instant as she looked at the words “abortion drug” on the lab report.
“This matter cannot be left as is, nor can it wait until tomorrow. That Lou Xinrou is so malicious, trying to harm my grandchild! No, not right—grandchild or granddaughter, it doesn’t matter; boy or girl, as long as it’s our child, I love them! I must go to the Lou Family right now and demand an explanation!”
Seeing Su Manhan’s angry expression, Zhan Nanqing timidly added:
“Mom, actually, Qiao Jing isn’t just carrying one child; she’s pregnant with triplets. As for dealing with Lou Xinrou, shouldn’t we calm down first and discuss it with Qiao Jing?”
She could no longer keep it a secret. Since her mother already knew, she had no choice but to lay all her cards on the table.
When Su Manhan heard it was triplets, her face blood with joy.
She excitedly spun around on the spot several tis, incessantly asking Zhan Nanqing if it was true.
After asking over a dozen tis, Su Manhan finally let Zhan Nanqing be.
But just the sa, her rage grew even fiercer, and for once, she let loose with curse words.
“Calm down my ass! How can I calm down over sothing like this? Lou Xinrou wanted to harm my three grandchildren! If she had succeeded, Qiao Jing’s health would have definitely been compromised. She didn’t just want to harm my unborn grandchildren, but also my wonderful daughter-in-law. I can’t calm down!”
Zhan Nanqing shrugged helplessly and muttered under her breath.
“And to think, just now soone said we should give the Lou Family face and stay calm…”
She had guessed as much; if Lou Xinrou had tampered with abortion drugs, there was no way her mom would be able to stay calm.
There it was, sleeves being rolled up for a fight at the Lou Family’s door.
Su Manhan, unable to wait, took out her phone and called Qiao Jing.
Before long, the call was answered.
