the next day.

Li Juan did not go to the store.

As soon as Su Yan got up and stepped out of the door, she was greeted by her mother's smiling face. "Ayan, what do you want to eat today? Dumplings or noodles? I'll make them for you."

Su Yan paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Mother, why didn't you go to the shop?"

Li Juan would usually be out by this time.

A hint of unease flashed across Li Juan's face. "I go to the shop every day but I never see anything interesting. I might as well not go today."

As clever as Su Yan was, she immediately saw through her mother's awkwardness and said helplessly, "Mom, I was a little harsh last night, please don't take it to heart, okay?"

“I’m the one who’s wrong. I asked too many questions and wouldn’t listen to your explanation.” Li Juan said anxiously, “I feel guilty.”

Her mother's attitude suddenly changed drastically; her brother must have said something.

Su Yan stepped forward, hugged her, and patted her back. "Mother, I was wrong too. I should have been more patient."

"Then you don't blame me?" Li Juan asked cautiously.

Su Yan was both amused and exasperated. "Why would I blame you? There's no such thing as a mother and daughter holding a grudge overnight."

She regretted throwing a tantrum as soon as she got back to her room last night, because her mother was concerned about her and that's why she asked so many questions.

Li Juan breathed a sigh of relief. "Then this matter is over. I'll go make you breakfast. What do you want to eat?"

"Noodles, please."

Li Juan responded and resumed her usual casual attitude as she went to the kitchen to make noodles for her.

Su Yan felt a warm feeling in her heart.

After she finished washing up, Li Juan had already cooked the noodles. She told her what had happened and went to the shop.

Su Yan sat in the kitchen eating noodles, thinking that her mother didn't really not want to go to the shop; she just wanted to apologize to her after she woke up.

Just then, the phone rang.

She glanced at it and took it, still slurping noodles.

Su Yu's teasing voice came over, "Oh, eating breakfast? Did your mom make you noodles?"

"What did you say to her?" she asked lazily.

“I told you about Jinghe and Jingmao. Mother knows she misunderstood you. You saw that at the crucial moment, my heart was still on your side, unlike you, who is heartless.”

Su Yan chuckled and said disdainfully, "Hypocritical. If I did something wrong, you wouldn't be like this."

"Tsk, you're not cute at all now," Su Yu said dejectedly. "Give me back my cute little sister!"

"No, there's only a vicious little sister. If you dare to make me angry again, I'll poison you!"

Su Yu's lips twitched.

Su Yan is now familiar with him and isn't afraid of him, her older brother, at all, which makes him feel very frustrated!

"You little rascal, what are your plans for the rest of the time?" he asked. "Are you ready for the grade-skipping exam?"

Su Yan chuckled, "With your sister on the case, there's absolutely no chance of failure."

“Arrogance,” Su Yu cautioned. “Don’t be so proud and complacent. Maintain a rigorous attitude when dealing with important matters.”

"Okay, okay, stop nagging."

"Alright, alright, I won't nag you anymore, I'm going to get busy."

Su Yu hung up after he finished speaking.

Not long after he hung up, Tang Li called.

Su Yan answered the phone with a bit of surprise, "Uncle Tang, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

The two haven't been in contact since the last New Year's greeting.

Tang Li didn't contact her even when he was in Beijing, which meant he was busy, so she didn't bother him.

"Yan girl, I'm almost at your courtyard house. Ya Jun is bleeding a little. Can you take a look?" Tang Li asked anxiously.

“Okay, drive into the alley, I’ll come pick you up.”

As she spoke, she put down the noodles in her hand, got up, and quickly went out.

We arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house.

Tang Li's car also stopped at that moment.

Tang Li got out of the car, his face very grim, and said to her, "Ya Jun is in the back seat."

Su Yan opened the back door.

The next second, she was startled by what she saw inside.

Fang Yajun lay in the back seat, a pool of blood soaking through her beige coat and trousers. She touched her slightly protruding belly with both hands, her face pale and in extreme pain, with a thick layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Ya Jun!" Tang Li was also moved by this scene, and his eyes instantly reddened.

Fang Yajun murmured weakly, "It hurts! It hurts so much! My child... Miss Su, please save my child!"

Su Yan didn't dare to delay. She reached out and took the woman's pulse, then quickly withdrew her hand. She turned to Tang Li and said, "The situation is a bit bad. I'm not entirely sure. Drive to the military hospital. My senior brother is there. I'll give him a few acupuncture needles to see if I can stop the bleeding."

Tang Li hurriedly agreed and then drove away.

After Su Yan took out her acupuncture kit and gave Fang Yajun a few acupuncture needles, she took Tang Li's phone and called Ye Feixu.

The first one on the other side was immediately eliminated.

After two attempts, the other person finally answered, their voice slightly impatient, "Who is it?"

Hearing the sound of turning pages, Su Yan assumed Ye Feixu was busy thinking and that was why he wasn't answering the phone. She didn't care about that now. "Senior brother, my restaurant partner's wife is experiencing bleeding during her pregnancy. The situation is a bit serious. She's bleeding heavily, and her pulse is weak and feeble, suggesting a threatened miscarriage caused by emotional distress and stress."

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "Do you know the acupoints for stopping bleeding in pregnant women?"

"I know, I've already had them applied, in three places in total."

"Okay, send it over. Let's find out what the pregnant woman did before she started bleeding and her recent condition."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yan repeated the questions Ye Feixu had asked.

Tang Li said, "We planned to come see you tomorrow and return to Guangzhou the day after tomorrow, so Ya Jun thought she would pick out some gifts for you. However, after shopping for half an hour, she had a stomachache and blood flowed onto her pants."

Thinking of something, his face suddenly turned even more grim. "My mother has a rather domineering personality. Because of her pregnancy, Ya Jun's diet during the Chinese New Year was restricted by her. She ate according to a diet plan that my mother had commissioned a nutritionist to create. A few days ago, I took Ya Jun out for a special meal, which was seen by my mother's friend. When we got back, she made a huge scene, and Ya Jun has been having trouble sleeping since that day."

Su Yan's lips twitched.

No wonder Tang Li didn't want to bring Fang Yajun back for the New Year; he knew his mother was difficult to deal with.

"Do you remember what was in the customized recipe?"

"My breakfast is usually eggs, soy milk, and steamed buns. For lunch and dinner, I have seafood, wood ear mushrooms, vegetables, and a soup. That's pretty much what I eat every day."

Su Yan was stunned. Coming to her senses, she exclaimed in disbelief, "Didn't your mother know that seafood and wood ear mushrooms are bad for pregnant women? Eating too much can easily lead to miscarriage! As a nutritionist, she certainly couldn't be unaware of these issues. Are they really doing this for the child's good, or are they trying to harm the child?!"

Tang Li and Fang Yajun were also stunned.

"Besides, Sister Yajun has always had difficulty conceiving, and this pregnancy was barely maintained thanks to various efforts to save it in the early stages. Uncle Tang, I seriously suspect that the nutritionist your mother hired has ulterior motives!"
