Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing exchanged a glance, then regained their composure.
Ruan Yinchen got up and went out to greet them:
"Uncle, Aunt, what brings you here?"
"Didn't you say you wanted the Mu Guiying costume a while ago? I made it for you. Your uncle was going out on business, so I asked him to bring me along."
"You have guests here!"
Yu Liming glanced into the house and saw Gu Xicheng. He was taken aback at first, then immediately smiled and stepped forward:
"Xiao Gu, it's you! I was wondering why you looked so familiar!"
Gu Xicheng immediately stood up to greet him: "Director Yu, it's been a long time!"
"Xiao Gu, what are you doing here?"
Yu Liming had barely uttered the question when Zhu Bi slapped him on the shoulder:
"Are you stupid! Xiao Gu is Fei Fei's brother, which is the same as Xiao Chen's brother. It's perfectly normal for him to come to his brother-in-law's house as a guest!"
Yu Liming then remembered:
"Oh right! How could I forget? You're Feifei's brother!"
Yu Liming then looked at Lu Qing: "And this is..."
Gu Xicheng immediately introduced, "Director Yu, this is my fiancée, Lu Qing."
"Qingqing, this is Director Yu."
Lu Qing smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Hello, Director Yu!"
"It's fine to be polite outside, but at home, don't call me 'Director'!"
"Since you are Feifei's brother and sister-in-law, then you are Xiaochen's brother and sister-in-law. If you don't mind, you can call him Uncle Yu, just like him!"
Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing nodded with smiles: "Okay, Uncle Yu."
Lu Qing's gaze fell on Zhu Bi, and he silently gathered his Qi to observe her face.
A layer of evil energy was gathered in Zhu Bi's abdomen, right in the uterus.
"Aunt Yu, excuse me, but I wanted to ask if you are pregnant?" Lu Qing asked.
Zhu Bi was taken aback for a moment, then asked in surprise:
"Girl, how did you know?"
Yu Liming was startled when he heard this:
"What are you talking about? Pregnancy?"
Zhu Bi touched her belly, a happy smile on her face:
"Old Yu, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, we're having a baby!"
"What!!!" After the initial shock, Yu Liming's eyes lit up with joy:
"Zhu Bi, are you sure you're not mistaken? It's really happening!"
Yu Liming and Zhu Bi have been married for over ten years and are now almost forty years old, but they still don't have children.
The couple went to the hospital for a checkup, and it was found that Zhu Bi had a problem with her ovaries, making it difficult for her to conceive.
So many years have passed, and they had both been completely disappointed, but they never expected that she could get pregnant again.
Seeing Yu Liming so excited, Zhu Bi couldn't help but cry tears of joy:
"Old Yu, it's true, we really are having a baby!"
Seeing how happy the two of them were, Lu Qing couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted to say.
This child is a product of evil energy; whether he can even be born is uncertain, let alone raised to adulthood.
Knowing that Lu Qing couldn't bring herself to say it, Gu Xicheng took the initiative to play the bad guy.
"Uncle Yu, Aunt Yu, please calm down. There's something I need to tell you!"
"What's the matter? Why are you so serious?" Yu Liming asked with a smile.
Gu Xicheng lowered his head and pursed his lips:
"This child... may not be able to be born."
Upon hearing this, the smiles on Yu Liming and Zhu Bi's faces vanished instantly.
"Xiao Gu, what are you saying? The baby is perfectly fine in my belly, how could I not be able to give birth!" Zhu Bi was a little flustered.
Gu Xicheng understood when he saw the flicker in her eyes.
The child in Zhu Bi's womb is an evil spirit, but she herself is not possessed by the evil spirit.
The most likely explanation is that the child was conceived by someone possessed by evil spirits.
"Aunt Yu, you should know how this child came about!"
Zhu Bi's heart tightened immediately, and she angrily said:
"What do you mean by that? This child is obviously conceived by me and Lao Yu!"
Ruan Yinchen knew that Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing wouldn't speak without reason, so she immediately advised:
"Aunt, if there's anything you need to tell us, please don't keep it from us!"
"Xiao Chen, how could you be siding with outsiders too!" Zhu Bi pointed at Ruan Yinchen and angrily scolded:
"I'm your own aunt, how could you side with outsiders against me!"
Ruan Yinchen's expression tightened, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Zhu Bi's words clearly hurt him.
"Aunt, how could you say such a thing?"
Lu Qing glanced at Zhu Bi's abdomen, then frowned and said sternly:
"She has been influenced by evil spirits!"
"Gu Xicheng, hurry!"
Gu Xicheng immediately unleashed the Nine Nether Lotus Flame, while Lu Qing also released a fire technique, and the two flames merged and drilled into Zhu Bi's abdomen.
Yu Liming was startled by this scene.
For the first time, he, a staunch believer in scientism, felt that his worldview might be a little off.
The burning pain from the evil energy in her abdomen caused Zhu Bi to fall to the ground and scream in agony.
"Zhu Bi!"
Yu Liming wanted to help her up, but Ruan Yinchen stopped him:
"Uncle, trust Brother Gu and Qingqing, they won't let anything happen to Aunt!"
"Xiao Chen, what's going on? Am I dreaming?" Yu Liming was somewhat dazed.
Ruan Yinchen helped him sit down:
"Uncle, don't worry, we'll explain to you later."
After a while, Zhu Bi's screams gradually stopped.
Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing withdrew the Nine Nether Lotus Flame and stepped forward to help the person up.
Zhu Bi seemed to realize that her child was gone and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"My child! Give me back my child!"
Lu Qing sighed and said:
“Aunt Yu, you know in your heart that this child is not real and cannot be born. You are just blinded by your obsession with having a child.”
Zhu Bi lowered her head, her body trembling as she cried.
Yu Liming hugged her and gently patted her shoulder:
"Zhu Bi, it's okay, I'm here."
Zhu Bi cried even harder, choking back tears as she apologized:
"I'm sorry! Lao Yu, I'm so sorry!"
“I don’t want to believe her, but I really want a child of ours.”
Yu Liming's eyes reddened, and she softly comforted him:
"I know! I know! It's not your fault!"
"Aunt, what exactly happened?" Ruan Yinchen asked.
Zhu Bi looked at him, her face full of guilt:
"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry! I don't know what came over me just now, I actually said those things to you!"
Ruan Yinchen: "It's alright, Aunt, I know you didn't mean it!"
"Aunt Yu, can you tell us what happened?" Lu Qing asked.
Zhu Bi wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice:
"My husband and I have been trying to conceive for years without success. I've consulted many doctors and taken a lot of medications, but I'm almost forty and still can't get pregnant."
"That day, when I came out of the hospital, a woman suddenly approached me and said that she could get me pregnant and wanted me to go with her."
“I knew in my heart that she was a fraud, but I still had a little hope, so I went.”
“She took me to a small alley and I met a man dressed like a Taoist priest. I spent 20,000 yuan to buy a pill from him.”
"Not long after I ate it, I felt unwell. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I was pregnant. But Lao Yu was away on a business trip for those few days, and we didn't have sex at all."
“I knew something was wrong, but I really couldn’t bear to part with the child, so I kept it a secret.”
