"Dad, what's going on?"
Aunt blushed and pointed at the things inside.
Grandpa's face was as dark as a thundercloud.
He never expected that the things he bought would be discovered.
Second Aunt, already angry, answered Aunt directly, "What do you mean? He bought them to play with this Mistress!"
"What do you mean by that!"
Grandpa was furious to hear Second Aunt show no respect.
"Dad, now you need to tell us what these purchases mean!"
Uncle, who had been silent, couldn't help but speak up.
"Good! Good! Good! This is what I get for raising such good sons and daughters!"
Grandpa, unable to contain his anger, sat on the sofa and began to accuse us of being unfilial.
Seeing Grandpa clutching his chest and looking extremely upset, everyone was afraid he might faint from anger and dared not say anything more.
How could I let this fire die down?
I quickly placed my phone in front of everyone.
The screen showed that I was video calling my parents who were far away abroad.
They were aware of what had just happened.
"Dad, when you were young, you were so clear-headed; how come you're confused now that you're old?"
My dad's voice came through the phone.
When Grandpa realized that even my parents abroad knew about this, he was so angry he nearly fainted.
"Since Qin Zhili can't produce the account books, there's no need to keep her anymore; let's find Dad a new caregiver!"
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing my dad's words.
Aunt walked directly up to Qin Zhili and said, "The contract clearly states that you need to keep accounts; since you can't produce the account books now..."
"It was your negligence first, so we won't compensate you for your dismissal. Now pack your things and leave!"
Qin Zhili quickly turned to grab her grandfather's arm upon hearing Aunt's words. Her grandfather was reluctant, but he couldn't go against so many people. I watched as Qin Zhili held her stomach with one hand, and my heart sank.
The next moment, my suspicion was confirmed. Qin Zhili cried out to her grandfather, "Brother Yu, I'm pregnant, and it's your child!"
"What!"
Everyone present widened their eyes and dropped their jaws in shock. Only her grandfather beamed at the news.
On the other end of the phone, my dad's voice came through: "What's going on! You all wait there; we're coming back to the country immediately!" After saying that, my dad hung up the video call.
Upon hearing this news, Second Aunt was furious and wanted to kill Qin Zhili. Chen Zhaoyang stepped in front of Qin Zhili to protect her. Seeing this, my cousin rushed forward as well, standing in front of Second Aunt.
Chen Zhaoyang looked up at his cousin, who was a head taller and muscular, and backed down, saying, "A gentleman uses words, not fists!"
Uncle and Aunt were extremely angry, sitting on the sofa and taking deep breaths repeatedly. It was Aunt who had seen more of the world and managed to stay calm in such a situation.
"I have the right to doubt that this child is my father's."
As soon as Qin Zhili heard this, she was about to explode when her grandfather jumped up first and slapped Aunt across the face.
"I raised you to study; did it go into a dog's belly? What nonsense are you saying!"
Seeing her own sister being hit because of a nanny made Second Aunt furious as she pointed at her grandfather's nose and shouted: "How can you do something so shameless? Do you think you're living up to our mother?"
"You still have the nerve to blame this Mistress for hitting your sister. When you die in the future, how will you face my mom to apologize!" I took some ice cubes from the fridge for Aunt, then walked up to my grandfather and said, "I think my aunt has a point; we should go for a paternity test first."
"You're not in a position to speak here!" Grandfather replied.
"Is there any place for us to speak? Let's go, right now to the hospital for a paternity test!" Aunt pulled on Qin Zhili's arm, trying to lead her outside.
"The baby is still in my belly; how can we do a paternity test, Brother Yu? They want to trick me into having an abortion! That is your own child!" Qin Zhili, with one hand being pulled by Aunt, used her other hand to grasp Grandfather.
Hearing this, Grandfather found it reasonable and held onto Qin Zhili's hand; otherwise, Aunt would take her away.
"You can do a paternity test during pregnancy; amniocentesis!" I quietly added fuel to the fire from the side.
Grandfather, furious, reached out to slap me. I nimbly dodged to the side. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
With a "crack," Grandfather broke a bone and sat on the ground, unable to get up.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" I pretended to be worried as I stepped forward to help him up.
