Guo Mingli realized her words were inappropriate after they left her mouth, and her face turned somewhat embarrassed. However, she only felt that her in-laws were downstairs, and that her words were a bit excessive. She did not think that she had said anything wrong at all.

After all that commotion, Tang Xiaoxiao stopped trying to lead them up to the fourth floor and went straight back to the first floor.

Han Yunqi looked at his mother speechlessly. How could she shout like that in someone else's house?

Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao go downstairs with a cold face, he quickly followed his wife and held her hand with some concern.

Guo Mingli was also feeling a little unhappy.

This daughter-in-law is really showing her no respect!

However, considering the child in her womb, Guo Mingli suppressed her dissatisfaction and, after sitting down on the first floor, couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxiao, isn't it a bit too much to keep so many animals upstairs? Besides, you're pregnant now, and those cats and dogs have a lot of parasites on them. Pregnant women shouldn't go near them! If you ask me, you should get rid of those animals first. You can keep pets later when you want to. Right now, you have to focus on your pregnancy, right?"

Tang Xiaoxiao ignored her and pretended not to hear.

Han Yunqi tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mom, all our pets are clean, and even if they have any parasites, the vet said they won't infect people. You're just worrying unnecessarily."

"Me, worrying unnecessarily? You're such a young person who doesn't know what's important. Mother-in-law, tell me, what kind of pregnant woman keeps such a bunch of pets? Even if they're clean, they're still animals! They're shedding fur and have fleas, oh dear!"

As she spoke, Guo Mingli rubbed her arms a few times, looking extremely disgusted. "Besides, even if it's not contagious, those cats are the most restless creatures, running around the house all day long. What if you accidentally trip over one of them?"

Although Tang's mother felt that Guo Mingli's words made some sense, she still disliked her bossy attitude in front of her daughter. She simply said indifferently, "Xiaoxiao's pets are usually kept on the third floor and won't run around. Old Tang and I also live on the third floor, and we've never found a single hair in our room. This villa is so big, unlike a small family crammed together, it's fine."

Guo Mingli was met with a rebuff, and opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Han's father: "Your mother-in-law is more than ten years older than us, and she raised two children. With her here, what are you worried about? Would she harm her own daughter?"

Guo Mingli moved her lips, wanting to say something more, but Han's father gave her a look. Seeing her husband's stern expression, and knowing that she never contradicted Han's father in public due to her usual habit, she finally shut her mouth, even though she was still unhappy.

Han Yunqi stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, the weather is nice. Let me take you for a walk. Xiaoxiao's company headquarters is right here. You haven't been there yet."

This gave Guo Mingli a way out, and she immediately smiled at Tang's mother and said, "Then let's go out and have a look. The scenery in the countryside is different from that in the city. It's unique and you really can't see it like this every day!"

Not wanting to cause any unpleasantness, Tang's mother replied, "Alright, let Xiao Han take you there. We two old folks aren't very mobile, so we won't come along. Remember to come back for lunch."

Han Yunqi smiled at Tang Xiaoxiao and said, "Wife, you've been standing all morning. Go and take a rest. I'll take Mom and Dad out for a walk."
