Zhang Huizhi was momentarily taken aback. She looked up at the door number, confirming it was indeed Mo Kai Liang's residence. But why was Lan Qingqing standing at his doorstep in her pajamas so early in the morning?
The sound of cooking wafted from inside the house.
Zhang Huizhi asked, "What are you doing here for breakfast so early?"
Lan Qingqing yawned and replied, "It's not like that. I stayed here last night. I couldn't sleep well on the sofa, so I took the small bedroom here to rest."
Zhang Huizhi's temper flared. "What kind of behavior is this! A man and a woman alone together! And you're pregnant! How could you come to another man's house to sleep? Don't you have any sense of shame? Don't you know there's a difference between men and women?"
Lan Qingqing found Zhang Huizhi's reaction completely absurd. She had taken over someone else's bedroom and bed, and instead of being grateful, she was being blamed.
Gathering her courage, Lan Qingqing retorted, "Auntie, you know I'm pregnant, right? Do you think a pregnant woman can sleep on a sofa?"
Zhang Huizhi glared at her, surprised that Lan Qingqing dared to talk back. Just then, Mo Kai Liang came out from the kitchen with a smile, explaining, "Aunt, I invited Lan Qingqing to stay here. She's pregnant and needs proper rest."
He gestured toward the kitchen. "Breakfast is almost ready. Why don't you wash your hands and join us?"
As Zhang Huizhi entered the house, she deliberately nudged Lan Qingqing with her elbow and commanded, "Your mother is in bed; go upstairs and tidy up before coming down for breakfast!"
Once inside, Zhang Huizhi raised her voice to educate Mo Kai Liang. "Even if she's pregnant, she shouldn't be staying at another man's house like this. If your cousin finds out, do you think he'll be happy? Mo Kai Liang, it's not just me saying this; there are rules about men and women. If Lan Qingqing doesn't understand them, shouldn't you?"
Standing at the door, Lan Qingqing felt overwhelmed by Zhang Huizhi's presence; it was suffocating.
Frustrated and irritable, she walked out of the house and headed upstairs.
Upon entering her own home, she was hit by a foul odor. Instead of dealing with He Shui Xian on the bed first, she went to the bathroom to apply some lotion. But as soon as she saw the filthy toilet bowl, her anger flared up. The toilet was disgusting; Zhang Huizhi had used it without flushing or cleaning!
She then moved to the bedroom where the bed was unmade, the curtains were drawn shut, and the drawer of the bedside table was left open. Inside was her small jewelry box—clearly disturbed by Zhang Huizhi!
Shaking with anger, Lan Qingqing took out her phone and called Ke Wenjie.
When he answered, she bluntly said, "When are you going to take your mother away? I’m about to lose my mind! She’s made a mess of the house and is ruining my morning! You know I'm pregnant; she made me sleep on the sofa while she took the bedroom! And then she said it was your order! How am I supposed to sleep on a sofa as a pregnant woman? I couldn’t rest at all and ended up borrowing a room downstairs at Mo Kai Liang's place for one night. And now she comes knocking early in the morning to yell at me and Mo Kai Liang! Is your mother deliberately targeting me?"
The more Lan Qingqing thought about it, the angrier she became. Earlier, she had asked Tong Le about what kind of person her mother-in-law was. Tong Le had never failed to praise her mother; back then, Lan Qingqing genuinely believed she would be an ideal mother-in-law. But now it felt like she was nothing but sharp-tongued and nitpicking! Did your mother look down on me? Did she deliberately want to prevent me from marrying you?
Lan Qingqing nearly shouted those last few words in frustration.
