Grandma Huo never expected that Daughter-in-law would walk silently.
The eldest daughter-in-law is a strong woman who is often not at home. Grandma Huo spoke without restraint, not realizing that she happened to overhear this remark.
"What’s going on?"
Huo Jincheng's Mother was very serious.
Grandma Huo glanced at Sister Zhang, "You speak."
Sister Zhang felt anxious; this was just their private speculation.
Huo's mother frowned, "What about that woman?"
"She is a friend of Jing Ge. She has already left."
"I'll handle this matter."
With that, Huo's mother left in a hurry.
Grandma Huo and Sister Zhang exchanged glances, "What will she do?"
Sister Zhang shook her head, "I don't know."
Sister Zhang cautiously asked, "What if that woman really is pregnant with Third Young Master's child? What will happen then?"
Grandma Huo sighed, "What do you think will happen? They are all descendants of the Huo Family. Didn't you see my eldest daughter-in-law mention Shiai's health several times in front of everyone? The old man insists on letting Jian Yunong into the family. You know my eldest Daughter-in-law is very opinionated. She must have been dissatisfied with Shiai all along."
"But... that Miss Chu, seems to be someone from the entertainment industry."
Grandma Huo sighed again, "What is wrong with these people? Why do they have to get involved with women from the entertainment industry? Back then, when a famous actress wanted to ride in the same car as our old man, he directly refused. He said his passenger seat was only for one woman, and that was me."
When a person dies, it’s like a light going out.
Grandma Huo misses her old man, reminiscing about the past when they had little money but could easily resist various temptations.
Grandma Huo doesn't quite understand why her descendants, despite having so much, are not as steadfast as her old man.
"Don't worry too much. What if... what if it's just a coincidence? What if nothing is wrong at all?" Sister Zhang comforts Grandma Huo.
Grandma Huo sighs helplessly, "I'm old. I really can't manage so many things anymore."
...
Chu Ai came out of the company and was taken to the hospital.
Maria Hospital, Chu Ai had heard of this hospital's reputation, known for its obstetrics and gynecology.
Chu Ai was pressed for blood tests, and by the time she realized what was happening, the results were already out.
She is pregnant.
"Who is the father of the child?"
The man in black who brought her asked.
"I don't want to say."
Chu Ai purses her lips, watching the person in front of her warily. Who sent them?
Who would be so sensitive about her pregnancy?
"Who are you? Who sent you? What do you want?"
Chu Ai steps back.
At that moment, the door opened, and a capable middle-aged woman walked in. She exuded a powerful aura, her gaze sharp as a knife.
Chu Ai recognized her.
She was always featured in the financial news, the only woman with the highest on-screen presence—Huo Jincheng's mother, the head of the Huo Family's Main Branch. She lost her husband at a young age and raised two sons alone, strengthening the Huo Family's Main Branch to a height that could only be looked up to by the Second Branch.
Chu Ai's mind raced.
"Whose child are you carrying?"
Mrs. Huo's scrutinizing gaze fell on Chu Ai's belly and then on her face, which was not to her liking; yet another person from the entertainment industry.
Mrs. Huo shifted her gaze away.
Chu Ai covered her belly. "I... I just want to quietly give birth to the child alone. I don't want anything."
She spoke vaguely, trying to dodge the question.
Mrs. Huo furrowed her brows tightly. "I'll ask you one last time, who is the father of the child?"
"Please, I really don't want anything. I know that Young Master Huo treats his wife very well. I'm just someone from the entertainment industry; I know I don't deserve to be part of the Huo Family. I don't want anything."
...
Mrs. Huo did not waste any more time.
She went directly to find Le Yi.
Le Yi couldn't sit still at home. After her baby's condition stabilized, she occasionally came to the hospital and sometimes took consultations.
"Is there any way to do a DNA test?"
Mrs. Huo got straight to the point.
She valued efficiency and wanted to know the results quickly.
Although Mother Huo doesn't think much of Chu Ai, after all, this could be the first grandson of the Huo Family.
As for the child in Bai Ru's womb, Mother Huo doesn't care about that at all.
Huo Liangchen is not her biological son, so she has no interest in meddling.
Le Yi provided an answer: after three months of stability, they could verify the child's DNA without waiting for the child to be born.
Three months...
It won't be long now.
In another month, they would know the answer.
Mother Huo's expression improved slightly.
Before that, she needed to send someone to take good care of Chu Ai, ensuring that the child in her womb wouldn't have any minor mishaps.
Le Yi couldn't help but ask who it was.
Mother Huo simply said, "You don't need to worry about this. Just take good care of your pregnancy. What’s up with Yi Nansheng? He hasn't come to take care of you."
"What do I need to be taken care of for? I'm fine. No need to trouble anyone."
Mother Huo couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if you could marry Huo Jincheng."
Mother Huo liked Le Yi and treated her like a biological daughter; no, she had been raising her as a Daughter-in-law.
Le Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Mom, you think I'm great, but I really don't feel that way. Besides, I grew up with Third Brother; we are truly like siblings. I'm really scared with you trying to matchmake us. I don’t even dare go home anymore."
Mother Huo poked her forehead. "Isn't Huo Jincheng good? Look how well he treats someone like Jian Yunong."
This son is truly good in every way, except his taste! Especially when it comes to women; it's terrible.
Bai Ru at least has a stunningly beautiful face, making her an enchanting temptress that very few men can resist.
But what about Jian Yunong?
She has an average appearance, an ordinary family background, and her abilities are just mediocre. Plus, she loves to eat; Mrs. Huo has not found a single advantage in Jian Yunong!
Le Yi's husband, Yi Nansheng, is not much better either. To marry Le Yi, he should be counting his blessings, yet he shows no gratitude.
There is something rebellious about Yi Nansheng!
Most importantly, he does not treat Le Yi particularly well.
Mrs. Huo thinks that if only Huo Jincheng could be with Le Yi, it would be perfect. But that's just wishful thinking since Le Yi is already pregnant.
Le Yi smiles, "Look how good Third Brother is to Sister San. That's because he married Sister San. I think Sister San is quite good; at least Third Brother doesn't seem to struggle as much when he's with her. You might see Sister San as too simple, too ordinary. But... simplicity and ordinariness are the essence of life. I believe Third Brother looks happier with Jian Yunong than he did with Bai Ru!"
Mrs. Huo disagrees, "I know Huo Jincheng's character."
What man doesn't stray?
To him, Jian Yunong is just a passing novelty!
