Lin Wan and Lin Xia squeezed in front of the exam hall among many parents.
Through the gaps in the iron fence, Lin Wan saw Lin An enter the examination room and was relieved, realizing that he was basically in good health.
Lin Xia held a grilled sausage she had bought from a nearby cart, a smudge of oil glistening at the corner of her mouth.
"Big sister, why are we hiding here? Can't we just openly send him into the exam hall?"
"He's really annoyed with us right now, so let's not upset him and let him focus on his exam."
Lin Wan listened to Xu Mo's words and realized that she could no longer forcefully go against Lin An and should consider Lin An's feelings more when doing things.
As they were talking, Lin Xia had already finished a grilled sausage. She licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, savoring the aroma of the sausage. She glanced at her bulging belly, which was already filled with a meat and egg burger, a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), duck blood vermicelli soup, and more.
Zhang Wanru used to always tell her that the food from these street stalls was unclean and unhealthy and shouldn't be eaten, but she tried it today and it was delicious! So happy!
After having eaten and drunk her fill, Lin Xia asked, "Big sister, where are we going now? Are we going to stay at a hotel again?"
After the two left the hospital last night, Lin Xia told Lin Wan that Lin Haoran said that going to see Lin An would be tantamount to breaking with the Lin family and that he would be kicked out of the house. Zhang Wanru also refused to go to see Lin An.
After Lin Wan found out, she was completely heartbroken by her parents, so the two of them simply found a hotel near the hospital to stay in.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Wan looked into Lin Xia's eyes and asked with concern, "Are you willing to leave the Lin family?"
Lin Xia forced a smile, waved the sausage skewer she hadn't had time to throw away, and replied, "What's wrong with leaving the Lin family? I can eat sausages every day now."
Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She had asked Lin Xia this question once before, and at that time, her younger sister clearly stated that she was reluctant to leave the Lin family's comfortable life.
"Okay, let's go home and get our things now. Life might be tough from now on."
"Yes, it's okay, big sister. Don't worry, I'll find a job to support myself. Besides, I've saved up some pocket money, enough for the two of us to get through this period," Lin Xia said seriously.
Lin Wan felt a warm current surge in her heart as she listened to her sister's words. It turned out that her naive sister would grow up too.
The two hailed a taxi and went home.
......
Inside the Lin family villa.
Lin Rou was in a terrible mood after being woken up by Yu Yuntian's phone call.
She went to the living room, intending to pour herself a cup of coffee to perk herself up, and saw Zhang Wanru sitting by the window, her face streaked with tears.
"Mom, why are you up so early? You're not feeling well, you need to rest more," Lin Rou said with concern.
Hearing her daughter's voice, Zhang Wanru couldn't stop her tears from flowing again. Her child was dying; how could she possibly sleep?
"Wanwan and Xiaxia, why aren't you back yet? I wonder if Lin An is still here?" Zhang Wanru's voice was as hoarse as a duck's.
"Mom, stop thinking about Lin An. If Dad finds out, he'll kick you out."
Zhang Wanru was heartbroken and in great pain. What pained her most was that after having so many children, she felt that none of them could be relied upon.
Seeing her mother crying even harder, Lin Rou didn't bother to comfort Zhang Wanru. She poured herself a cup of coffee, her mind preoccupied with how to win over Yu Yuntian.
Lin Rou took a sip of coffee and suddenly felt her stomach churning, so she couldn't help but gag a few times.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wanru, who was feeling hopeless about life, immediately stopped crying and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
She hurriedly asked Lin Rou, "Have you gotten your period?"
"Not yet." Lin Rou covered her mouth, then immediately realized something: "Wait a minute, I'll go get tested."
She ran back to her room and expertly took a pregnancy test from the closet drawer.
I carefully filled the bathroom with test kits and inserted the pregnancy test stick.
Lin Rou stared nervously at the thin testing stick in front of her. Her feelings at that moment were as if she had bought a big lottery ticket and was waiting for the results. Whether she could marry into the Yu family depended on this one moment.
She wasn't stupid; she had heard about Yu Yuntian's reputation for being a womanizer to some extent, but the Yu family's wealth made her reluctant to leave the man.
From the very first time Lin Rou got together with Yu Yuntian, she planned to have a child to tie him down.
Yu Yuntian, a master who can flit from flower to flower without ever getting attached, would never easily give Lin Rou the chance to get pregnant.
She tried to poke holes in the umbrella, but Yu Yuntian was so meticulous that he only used the ones he brought himself. She once suggested that she could take the medicine herself and not use any other means to make the man feel more comfortable, but the man told her righteously that taking medicine would harm her body. Fortunately, one time after Yu Yuntian finished, his brother called him away in an emergency, and Lin Rou had a chance to get the used umbrella.
After that day, Lin Rou bought a bunch of pregnancy tests and tested herself every morning, praying for good fortune. These past few days, she had forgotten about this morning ritual because she had too many things to do at home.
She stared anxiously at the test stick, and a few minutes later, two red marks, one dark and one light, appeared on it.
Lin Rou let out a sharp, piercing scream: "Ah!"
"Mom! I'm pregnant!"
Lin Rou was overjoyed and ran to Zhang Wanru with the pregnancy test in her hand.
When Zhang Wanru saw the two lines displayed above, the gloom on her face vanished. She had always believed in one thing: try to have children to tie a man down. If one child wasn't enough, have more, and a better life would come.
"Xiaorou, my good daughter, you've really made us proud!" Zhang Wanru seemed to have forgotten Lin An for a moment and said excitedly, "Dress up nicely, and when your father comes back, we'll go to the Yu family to talk about your marriage with Yu Yuntian."
Zhang Wanru straightened her back. In her opinion, although the Lin family was not as good as the Yu family, it was not bad either. Lin Rou was beautiful and was now pregnant with Yu Yuntian's child. The Yu family had no reason not to let Lin Rou into the family.
Once she marries into the Yu family, she'll have a wealthy son-in-law, so why should she worry about having a bad life?
Then, I'll have my son-in-law go to Tong Jiaojiao's place and buy back her ancestral jewelry as a gift, so I can finally hold my head high!
Zhang Wanru became happier and happier as she thought about it, and Lin Rou was also filled with excitement.
Lin Wan and Lin Xia opened the door and were a little stunned to see the two of them looking so excited and radiant. Even though Lin An was alright, there was no need for him to be so happy, after all, he had just gone through a brush with death.
"Lin An is alright now." Lin Wan said, looking at her mother and sister, and then asked, "What's making you all so happy?"
