There were two difficult problems facing them now.
One was whether to report the pregnancy, and the other was what to do with this little one.
Although it was none of her business, He Yao's mother insisted on discussing it with her stepfather.
He Yao glared at her, "Go tell him to give you advice, go on."
"Give him your brain, your life, your liver, lungs, everything! A clueless idiot who can't tell right from wrong!"
He Yao's mother was so angry that her vision went black. Before she could scold her, the doctor couldn't stand it and spoke to He Yao.
"How can this child be so rebellious at such a young age? Speaking so nastily? She's your own mother, can't she say a few words to you when something like this happens?"
He Yao retorted even to her, "What do you know?"
"All you so-called adults who think you have the right to discipline others just because you're a bit older, you're hypocritical and disgusting to me."
"If you want to do it, do it now. I'll take care of it. If you dare to go out and tell that person about my affairs, believe it or not, I'll jump off the building!"
He Yao's mother was so angry she was about to die, then suddenly clutched her stomach, looking pained.
Her aunt scolded, "He Yao, stop talking. Be human. Are you only satisfied when you make your mother angry to death? You know she just came out of her confinement..."
Amidst the commotion, the doctor couldn't help but shake his head.
"Alright, alright, all of you go out. Even if you want to do it today, it can't be done. You need a physical examination and to book an appointment. Go home and discuss it properly before coming back. Don't turn my place into a marketplace."
The three of them were ushered out.
Her uncle, stepfather, and He Chuan waited outside the examination room. Seeing them emerge, they immediately surrounded them.
He Yao pushed past everyone to leave, but her stepfather's iron-like hand gripped her arm.
"Where are you going? The matter isn't settled, where are you running off to?"
"It has nothing to do with you, let go of me!"
Her stepfather didn't let go and asked her mother, "What did she say?"
He Yao's mother, with tears and snot streaming down her face, handed him the medical report.
He Yao reached out to snatch it, but he gently turned, raised his arm, and dodged her.
"She really is pregnant. This is the good daughter you raised."
He Yao's mother looked at him with a guilty and distressed expression, speechless.
He Yao was also furious with her.
What bad karma in her past life had led her to have such a love-struck and spineless mother?
"This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you, give it back!"
Her stepfather crumpled the report, stuffed it into his pocket, and turned to look at her expressionlessly.
"Is it that guy from last time?"
He Yao's pupils contracted involuntarily, but she quickly concealed it.
He suspected Zhan Jingrui?
This was not a good sign.
"I don't understand what nonsense you're spouting. I said, give me my things back!"
Her stepfather, the old fox, saw through her.
"When I visited your place last time, I noticed you two were unusual. Good kid. Tricking you under our noses, he's quite something."
He Yao kicked him, "Stop talking nonsense, give it back to me!"
"The facts are clear, you can't deny it. Come, go back with me."
He was like the backbone of this group. After speaking, he grabbed He Yao's arm and turned, the crowd following him noisily.
They all hustled He Yao back to Number Seven Mansion.
To He Yao's surprise, the car didn't stop at her doorstep but drove directly to Zhan Jingrui's house across the street.
This time she truly panicked, shouting in the car.
"What are you doing? Where are you going? Are you crazy? I already said it has nothing to do with him, why are you going to his house? Stop the car! Let me out!"
"Ma Songhan, I told you to stop the car and let me out, are you deaf?"
Her stepfather ignored her curses and drove the car straight to Tang Dad and Tang Mom's place.
Everyone got out noisily, pulling He Yao with them.
Her stepfather and He Chuan held her tightly. Her left shoulder was in agonizing pain, and she felt like that arm was going to be crippled.
With her beloved husband backing her up, He Yao's mother had plenty of courage to accuse them, nearly pressing the doorbell flat.
Soon, the video on the door connected, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.
"Who are you looking for?"
He Yao's mother was momentarily speechless and looked back at her dear husband. Her stepfather menacingly spat out three words.
"Zhan Jingrui."
"I'm looking for Zhan Jingrui."
After a moment, the voice inside changed to a calm and gentle middle-aged woman.
"May I ask who you are? Is there something you need from Zhan Jingrui?"
Her stepfather, holding He Yao's arm, stepped forward, pushing He Yao's mother aside to speak to the person inside himself.
"Hello, Ms. Tang, I'm Ma Songhan, who lives across the street. We've met before."
"I apologize for disturbing you at this hour, but it's because something extremely important has happened in our family that I dare to come. Please open the door, and we can talk in person."
The company was on winter break, and Tang Nannan and Hu Jiasheng had returned together to celebrate the New Year with their parents.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was a time for family reunion and joy.
Shortly after lunch, everyone was comfortably chatting in the living room, when this incident occurred.
Hu Jiasheng led the way, followed by everyone else into the yard.
Opening the door, Hu Jiasheng frowned upon seeing a large crowd of strangers standing outside.
Ma Songhan extended his hand to shake his and introduce himself, and everyone exchanged pleasantries.
Then he said, "It's not a particularly glorious matter. If others overhear it, it won't be good for your family's reputation. Perhaps you should let us in to talk."
Hu Jiasheng had a strong aversion to people like him, who smiled while hiding ill intentions.
Moreover, he had heard his in-laws mention the neighbors across the street many times since returning, and they had warned him not to associate with them.
Now, having met the person in person, he felt the same way as his in-laws.
Their paths were different, and they wouldn't cooperate. There was no need to be polite with them, so he didn't invite them in.
"It's fine, you can say whatever you need to say here."
It was too obvious that they looked down on them.
Ma Songhan laughed self-deprecatingly and took out the examination report from his pocket, handing it over.
"This is my daughter's examination report, just taken from the hospital. Please take a look."
Hu Jiasheng took it and lowered his head to read the report. Tang Nannan also cast her gaze upon it.
Although they were both surprised inwardly, they both guessed what had happened at the same time, but they managed their expressions well, appearing as calm as a deep, still well.
After reading it, they calmly handed the report to the two elders behind them, then calmly spoke to Ma Songhan.
"I don't understand. What does this have to do with us? What would you like to discuss with us, Mr. Ma?"
Ma Songhan smiled, "It seems Zhan Jingrui isn't here. Otherwise, as a soon-to-be father, he wouldn't be so scared he wouldn't even show his face."
"Discuss what? Of course, we're here to discuss the examination report. Can you make decisions for him?"
Hu Jiasheng looked at him, then shifted his gaze from him to He Yao behind him.
