Chapter 147: You Still Have to Save Your Face
"Ah——" Li tripped and immediately screamed and fell forward!
Her sudden move caught Li off guard and Cen Yan didn't notice it either, but she reacted quickly and supported Li.
Even so, Li still knelt on the ground with both legs and knocked them hard.
"Mom, are you okay?" Cen Yan immediately squatted down nervously and held her hand tightly.
Cen Dahai also hurried over, supported Li's back, and tried to help her up.
However, Li's other hand was pressing down on her lower abdomen tightly.
She looked painful: "My stomach... my stomach hurts so much!"
"My stomach hurts..." Cen Yan was startled. Suddenly, something occurred to her. She immediately panicked, "Dad, hurry up and carry Mom back to the room! Mom might be pregnant!"
"What did you say?" Cen Dahai was also stunned.
"Hurry up and carry mom back to the room first!" Cen Yan urged anxiously, "Now is not the time to talk!"
"Okay!" Cen Dahai was awakened by his daughter. He picked up Li gently with both hands and walked towards the second house.
Cen Yan also hurriedly followed.
But before leaving the main room, she paused for a moment, turned her head, stared at Gao meaningfully, then retracted her gaze and followed Cen Dahai back to the house.
When Gao saw this look from her, the hair on her body stood up.
It was a hot day, but she felt a chill rising all over her body.
"Haha, pregnant? Is Cen Yan trying to scare us? Li was fine before, but after she fell, she pretended to be pregnant?" Gao touched her cold arm and smiled stiffly, trying to drive away the fear in her heart.
But everyone in the room, perhaps shocked by Cen Yan's words, or perhaps with other thoughts in mind, no one paid any attention to her.
Old Man Cen's expression was unpredictable and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
Old Mrs. Cen gritted her teeth, her face full of hatred.
Cen Fang looked at Old Man Cen, then at Old Lady Cen, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Yu seemed to be angry about Li's pregnancy. She stared at the departing figures of the second wife with envy and jealousy, and subconsciously touched her belly.
Cen Shuang's eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that he was up to something bad.
In this eerily quiet atmosphere, Cen Ying came back from outside.
She went out today to talk to a sister she was on good terms with.
I was a little surprised to see Cen Fang coming home at this time.
Wasn’t Cen Fang not allowed to return to her parents’ home? Why did she come back again?
But soon, her surprise was replaced by the strange atmosphere in the room.
"What's going on? No one is talking. They're all looking...looking at what the second room is doing?" Cen Ying followed their gazes and glanced at the tightly closed door of the second room. Suddenly, she frowned. "What's going on? Why does it sound like someone is calling out from the second room? Is it my second sister-in-law? What happened?"
"Haha, what could have happened? We just asked Li to come over to serve my parents and fan them, but she accidentally fell and started yelling that her stomach hurts. Then, that little bitch Cen Yan, who is full of lies, yelled that her mother is pregnant... What a joke, Li is pregnant, how come there is no sign of pregnancy for so many days?" Gao said sarcastically.
Her words were full of contempt for the second wife.
But Cen Ying could sense a sense of guilt that could not be concealed.
"I'll go and take a look. If there's anything you need help with, I can lend a hand." Cen Ying knew that Li's situation must be related to Gao's, but she didn't say anything. She just turned around and went to the second room.
"When did second sister become so kind-hearted towards the second wife? Didn't you dislike the second wife before?" At this time, Cen Fang suddenly spoke.
"So it's normal for me to be like you and turn a blind eye to the pain that the second house is going through?" Cen Ying paused, turned his head, stared at her and asked back.
She then looked at Old Man Cen again, frowned and reminded him, "Dad, no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to do your best to save face. Otherwise, if word gets out that something really happened to the baby in Second Sister-in-law's belly, and our Old Cen family didn't even hire a doctor from beginning to end, that wouldn't sound good."
Cen Ying's words undoubtedly hit upon the point that Old Man Cen cared about most.
But before Old Man Cen could say anything, Gao sneered, "We don't even know if she's really pregnant yet, and Yingmei is already thinking about an accident? Also, calling a doctor? It costs money to call a doctor, but what if she just has a stomachache? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
Gao's words made Old Man Cen look a little hesitant.
"Whether she is pregnant or not, I will know if I go and take a look." Cen Ying did not want to engage in an argument with Gao at this time, so after saying that, he went to the second room.
At this moment, there was a tense atmosphere in the second house.
As soon as Cen Ying entered, he saw Cen Dahai walking back and forth in the main room outside, with an anxious look on his face.
"Brother, how is second sister-in-law? Do you want me to talk to dad and ask him to call a doctor? As long as we exaggerate the severity of the situation, dad will definitely agree to it for the sake of his reputation." Cen Ying lowered his voice and suggested to Cen Dahai with a concerned look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Cen Dahai just glanced at her.
The worry on her face wasn't fake.
"She is pregnant, and there are some signs of miscarriage. Today, when she was fanning her parents, Gao deliberately tripped her and she almost fell... There is no need to call a doctor. Xiaoyan is treating her and she will be fine." Cen Dahai said.
"Xiaoyan?" Cen Ying frowned and looked at Cen Dahai with some reproach, "Second brother, you are really making a fuss! Miscarriage is no small matter! How would Xiaoyan know how to treat it? She has never learned any medical skills!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she thought of something.
It seemed that Cen Yan had said more than once at home that she had learned medical skills.
But when she said that, everyone thought she was deliberately playing a prank on others and no one listened to her at all.
But at this moment, seeing Cen Dahai standing here steadily, although he was anxious and worried, he did not ask for a doctor. Could it be that Cen Yan really knew medical skills? And he was quite good at it?
Cen Ying was about to ask a question, but when he looked up, he saw Cen Dahai staring at him.
"Second brother, what's wrong?" she asked, stunned.
"Little sister, you have changed." Cen Dahai sighed.
"I've changed..." Cen Ying was still a little dazed, not knowing what he meant by this. She had already changed, she had changed a long time ago... She had become worse and more annoying!
But the next moment, Cen Dahai raised his arm and patted her shoulder gently.
Just like when I was a child and saw that she was unhappy, I clumsily tried to comfort her.
"You have become as kind and caring as you were when you were a child." Cen Dahai continued.
"Second brother..." Upon hearing this, Cen Ying felt a lump in his throat and tears welled up in his eyes.
