696: Chapter 695: Always Stay Sober 696: Chapter 695: Always Stay Sober Shao irou, burdened with heavy thoughts, left Fang Youlan’s house, but instead of going directly to Shao Chengzhi’s ho, she went to Shao ifang’s workplace.
Shao ifang wasn’t surprised by her sister’s sudden visit.
Normally, when her sister had nothing to do, she would co here to take a walk, sit down, chat, and talk.
But seeing her this ti, seemingly preoccupied, did arouse Shao ifang’s curiosity, “Sister!
What’s wrong?
Did you have a falling out with your daughter-in-law?”
Shao irou shook her head, “No!
We get along quite well now!”
She found that since clearing up those misunderstandings and putting aside those differences, her relationship with Lin Xia had beco quite relaxed and harmonious.
Lin Xia herself was not a troublemaker, nor was she troubleso.
Thus, when they were together, sotis they seed like friends, other tis like mother and daughter.
“Then is it Dad again…” Shao ifang did not finish her sentence, just stared intently at Shao irou’s expression, waiting for her response.
Shao irou was half amused, half frustrated, “What are you always thinking about?”
Shao ifang breathed a sigh of relief; their elderly father’s health was not good, and being busy with work, she could only visit him occasionally.
So, she was very worried about his condition.
As a dical worker, she saw life, aging, sickness, and death every day at the hospital and had beco numb to it.
However, when it involved her own family, she was extrely fearful.
“Then why do you look so off?
Your face looks like a frostbitten eggplant!”
Shao irou touched her own cheeks, “Is it that serious?”
Shao ifang nodded emphatically, “Absolutely!
Tell , what happened?”
She knew her sister well; if she wasn’t dealing with sothing, she wouldn’t look like this.
Shao irou briefly recounted what she heard at Fang Youlan’s and the Fetal Exchange dicine Fang Youlan suggested.
Upon hearing this, Shao ifang frowned disapprovingly, “Sister!
Your mother-in-law really cos up with one sche after another!
Can the Fetal Exchange dicine be taken carelessly?
The harm it could bring to the child is incalculable!
You rember the thalidomide scandal of the sixties, right?
How terrible that was!
Sister, you must stay clear-headed!”
As both a doctor and Lu Zheng’s aunt, she definitely needed to sound the alarm to her sister upon knowing about such a matter.
“ifang!
I know!
I also felt it was unreliable at the ti and even advised my mother-in-law against it!” Shao irou was clear-headed about this.
That Fetal Exchange dicine, just hearing about it tells you it’s superstitious nonsense; anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t believe it.
Shao ifang laughed satisfactorily, “That’s more like it!” She had been really worried, afraid her sister was also biased toward having a male child, desperate for a son and might foolishly do sothing wrong.
Shao irou, still charming despite her age, furrowed her brows, “But, ifang!
I think, what she said isn’t entirely unreasonable.
Look, your brother-in-law and I only have Xiaozheng!
If Lin Xia really is carrying a daughter, would they be able to have another?!
So, help think of so other way!
If Lin Xia’s child really is a girl, what should we do?”
She originally had only a little worry, afraid that Lin Xia might not be carrying a boy.
Now, having heard what Fang Youlan said, it was like a small spark that could start a huge fire.
Shao ifang was also distressed; she wanted to help but how could she?
“Sister!
I think you should not worry too much for now!
Wait until she’s further along then co over and I’ll find soone to help check!
But let’s make this clear beforehand, even if it’s a girl, you mustn’t have any crooked thoughts!
After all, it took a year after Xiaozheng and his wife got married to have this child; what if sothing goes wrong if it were terminated and they never have children again?
Do you think our Xiaozheng could replace his wife?”
Shao irou knew better than anyone that her son couldn’t live without Lin Xia.
If Lin Xia truly couldn’t have children, he would definitely be able to decide either never to have children or to adopt!
“Ah, let’s just wait and see for now!”
To distract Shao ifang from her gloom, she asked, “Has Xiaozheng called since he went back?”
Shao irou’s eyebrows relaxed.
“He calls often!
It’s secondary that he misses us—he’s really missing his own child!”
Thinking about her stern and rigid son actually having such a tender side, she couldn’t help but want to laugh, feeling relieved at the sa ti.
That stinker Lu Zheng is finally showing so human traits…
…
In the office, Lu Zheng and Old Li were in a eting.
Lu Zheng suddenly sneezed twice, prompting Old Li to tease him, “Is soone talking about you, or did your wife not being ho cause you to catch a cold last night?”
Lu Zheng brazenly replied, “Definitely my wife thinking about !”
When he returned to the unit, Li Qingshui and Nie Siming were very concerned about Lin Xia and her family’s situation.
Lu Zheng shared what he could with them.
Nie Siming apologized to Lu Zheng on the spot, and though Lu Zheng said it was nothing on the surface, he was extrely disappointed with Nie Siming and his partner deep down.
It was pure luck Lin Xia hadn’t gotten hurt, but if sothing had happened to her because she was worried about her brother’s safety.
How many apologies could make up for that?
Even after Li Qingshui later told Lu Zheng alone about the quarrel Nie Siming and his partner had after Lin Xia left,
Lu Zheng remained indifferent.
Li Qingshui laughed heartily.
“Look how pleased you are, young man!”
Nie Siming chuckled along but didn’t join in the banter.
Instead, he remained silent.
About that matter, he truly felt guilty.
He had hesitated to tell everything because he feared complications from Yang Wanng’s end.
Yet, Yang Wanng had gone ahead and done such a thing!
He knew Lu Zheng now felt ill at ease and estranged from him deep down, and he didn’t know when things could go back to how they were.
Li Qingshui smiled as he watched Nie Siming joking, noticing his smile fade, and he couldn’t help but sigh internally.
If it had been before, when their relationship was good as brothers, Nie Siming would certainly have joined in, and they would have had a joyous ti joking and chatting.
But after this incident upon Lu Zheng’s return, even though Nie Siming apologized sincerely, Lu Zheng didn’t say much but sensitively sensed so changes.
Speaking of which, Yang Wanng really behaved irresponsibly.
Lin Xia was pregnant too.
Lu Zheng had stressed repeatedly when he left because he was worried that his wife, upon knowing, might beco anxious and agitated, affecting the fetus.
But for so reason, Yang Wanng had deliberately said things that caused suspicion.
Li Qingshui shook his head helplessly, still unsure what kind of conflicts might arise when Lin Xia returned later in the year…
Lin Xia was completely unaware of the undercurrents from all sides.
Since Lu Zheng and the others left, apart from experiencing morning sickness, she had beco very sleepy.
Every day she usually wouldn’t get up until very late, would eat a bit, maybe throw up or not.
Afterward, she would walk about her room, chat with Shao Chengzhi and Shao ifang, often feel a yawn coming on and sleepy again, then go back to bed.
Ti flew by, and suddenly it was Lunar New Year’s Eve.
The next day was Lu Guangqi’s birthday, and Lin Xia went to his house with Shao ifang…
