Chapter 48 Lies, just come out of your mouth

Xie Wantang didn't say anything. Xia Meng just continued to bend over, patiently waiting for Xie Wantang's reply.

The two sides were in a stalemate, as if competing with each other in endurance to see who would give up first.

At this moment, with a click, the door of the ward was opened from the outside.

Hearing the voice, Xia Meng straightened up on her own without Xie Wantang saying anything.

Xie Wantang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm in his smile.

Old Madam Lu came in with her servants, and the servants beside her were carrying bird's nests brought from home.

"Why are you here?" When Mrs. Lu saw Xia Meng, her wrinkled face became even deeper, and she looked disgusted and dissatisfied.

In the past, Mrs. Lu would never act like this when she saw Xia Meng in any occasion, but at this moment, Xia Meng came here to cause trouble for Xie Wantang, and she was unhappy.

It has been more than a month since Xia Meng returned to China. After all, she grew up calling her Grandma Lu. Moreover, this girl always knew her limits and did not force Lu Yanshen to do anything after returning to China.

Therefore, the old lady was quite satisfied that she knew her limits.

But at this moment, the old lady still felt that Xia Meng, even though she was already a mother, was still confused.

"Grandma Lu, I heard Wantang is pregnant. I thought, since I gave birth to Dongdong, I came here to share my experience with her." Xia Meng lied without hesitation.

After hearing Xia Meng's explanation, the old lady's wrinkled face suddenly relaxed again.

"Is that so? Then Tangtang, you really can listen to Xia Meng's experiences." The old lady agreed.

"Um."

Xie Wantang nodded, didn't say anything more, and didn't cause any trouble.

"Our Tangtang is so obedient. Drink some bird's nest first. Have you had breakfast?" The old lady saw the takeaway boxes of breakfast in the trash can.

"Yeah, I've eaten."

"Grandma will come early tomorrow. Wait for her and don't go out to buy those dirty breakfasts, okay?" The old lady felt sorry for Xie Wantang.

Xie Wantang is alone, but she is pregnant with the next generation of the Lu family. Her body is precious and she cannot afford any mistakes.

"Okay, grandma."

Xie Wantang nodded again and drank the bowl of bird's nest obediently.

After drinking the bird's nest, the old lady went to the cupboard to get folic acid and vitamin tablets suitable for pregnant women, and ate them while watching Xie Wantang.

"Where is your best friend?" After finishing her work, the old lady sat over there and finally had time to ask Xu Yanqiu.

"She has something to do, I let her do it."

"Oh, where does she work?"

"She's a freelancer doing livestream sales."

"Grandma doesn't understand." The old lady said with a smile, "Then can she still come and keep you company tonight?"

"Grandma has brought a few of the servants here. How about you pick one you like?"

Xie Wantang shook her head. "Grandma, there's really no need. I can do it alone."

Besides, there are medical staff on duty at night, and the bell is right next to the bed, which is very convenient.

There are bells for the restrooms.

"No, that won't work. Grandma is worried. It's okay during the day, but you still need someone to be with you at night." The old lady was very persistent. If she wasn't so old, she would have wanted to be here to take care of you 24 hours a day.

"Then... I'll call my adoptive parents over." Xie Wantang said with a blink.

"That's fine." The old lady nodded.

Xie Wantang made a phone call in front of the old lady and Xia Meng. She called her adoptive father Qin Siyuan. At this time, Xie Ningmeng was extremely busy in the clinic and had no time to answer the phone.

"Dad, is there still much work around the house?"

Qin Siyuan understood immediately: "Not much, what's wrong? Tangbao."

"Look, I'm in the hospital taking care of my pregnancy. My grandma is worried about me being alone at night, and I'm not used to having other people around me. So, I wanted to ask if you and mom are free. If you are, could you come and take care of me for a couple of days?"

"Of course no problem, Dad will book the plane ticket right away."

"Thank you, Dad."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Wantang smiled at the old lady: "My dad said he would fly over right away."

"good."

…

At three or four in the afternoon, Aunt Wang and Butler Xie were ordered to carry large and small bags of luggage and some important things to the ward.

They were dressed simply, and their rough, calloused skin made them look like typical country people.

Seeing that they had come all the way from the countryside in Hai City, the old lady was especially grateful for their hard work.

The key point is that when Xie Wantang saw them, she smiled like a flower. Unlike when she was facing the Xie family, Xie Wantang was far less close to the Xie family members who were related to her by blood than to the two country people in front of her.

There is a difference between having a biological child and raising a child yourself.

After Xie Wantang hugged Wang Ma and Butler Xie, the old lady stood up and said, "Thank you both for your hard work. I am Yan Shen's grandmother."

"Hello, old lady." Aunt Wang and Butler Xie bowed humbly to the old lady.

The old lady told them to be more polite. "It was our fault, Yan Shen. We have been married to Tang Tang for three years. We should have brought you two from the countryside to live here with them long ago so that you two could enjoy your life."

The old lady felt guilty.

She didn't expect that Xie Wantang's adoptive parents were living such a hard life.

If she had paid more attention to Xie Wantang earlier, she wouldn't have wanted to divorce Yan Shen.

"No, no, no, old lady, we are used to living in the countryside. There are fields and fresh air in the countryside. Most importantly, we have to help the owner take care of the medicinal garden. If it weren't for Tang Bao who needs to be taken care of, we really can't get away and come here."

Butler Xie explained and politely declined the old lady's invitation.

In the Qin family, working for the Qin family, they already enjoy a very good life.

"That's fine. I'm sorry to have troubled you two these past few days. I'll have Tangtang and your three meals a day delivered." The old lady said, then turned to look at Xie Wantang, "Then grandma will go back first, and you three can have a good time together as a family."

"Okay, thank you grandma." Xie Wantang smiled sweetly, perfectly expressing the joy of meeting his parents after a long separation.

"You're talking nonsense again."

After the old lady left, Aunt Wang and Butler Xie took out the things that Xie Ningmeng had specifically asked them to pass on to Xie Wantang. There was a box of pregnancy-preserving pills, a top-quality product from the Xie family clinic, with four pills in one box.

There is also a box of acupuncture.

"Madam said that she will send a video to Miss later. After watching the video, Miss will know how to use this thing." Butler Xie frowned when he saw Xie Wantang holding the box of acupuncture needles.

Xie Wantang looked up at him, "Dad, you should call me Tangtang or Tangbao."

"Yes, little... sugar baby."

Xie Wantang chuckled, "I'm not a little sugar baby, I'm a big sugar baby."

The three of them laughed heartily.

Xie Wantang was in a very good mood when interacting with them.

After laughing enough, Wang Ma thought of their uncle whom she had never met. "Where is the uncle? Miss——"

“…”

Xie Wantang froze, his brows furrowed.

If these two don't change their ways, with so many people coming in and out of her ward every day, it's only a matter of time before they're exposed.

Wang Ma thought of something and, with a loud slap, she raised her hand and slapped her own mouth, scolding him as she hit him: "I'll teach you a lesson. I'll teach you a lesson again."

Xie Wantang couldn't bear it and spoke up to stop him.

Wang Ma changed her tone and said, "What I mean is, what about your father's son-in-law whom I haven't met yet?"
