That moment.
The living room of the Mu Family was very quiet.
Old Lady Mu was so stunned by the explosive news that she couldn’t react for a long while.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s face turned deathly pale.
What had her father just said?
Who did he say was pregnant?
Zheng Niannian?
How could that be possible?
She had checked.
Zheng Niannian was supposedly infertile.
How could someone who is infertile be pregnant?
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to calm herself down and smiled, "Is that true or false, Dad, are you and Aunt Zheng joking with us?"
Old Lady Mu also came to her senses at this moment, grabbing Mu Baicheng’s hand, "Chengcheng, are you really joking or not?"
She was quite old and could not withstand such agitation.
"No joke, Niannian is indeed pregnant," Mu Baicheng said, then he took an ultrasound report out of his bag.
Old Lady Mu took the ultrasound report, at first unable to believe her eyes, then burst into tears of joy, "She’s really pregnant! Thank you, Niannian! Thank you for extending our Mu Family’s lineage."
Having said this, Old Lady Mu, overwhelmed with emotion, hugged Zheng Niannian, "I never thought I would be able to hold a grandchild at my age."
Zheng Niannian’s face was flushed and her speech somewhat jumbled, "Auntie, I...you’re welcome...."
Old Lady Mu then asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"
She hadn’t looked carefully at the ultrasound report just now.
"12 weeks," Zheng Niannian answered.
weeks.
Counting the days, it was just about that time.
Old Lady Mu immediately asked, "So do you now feel like eating sour or spicy?"
It is said that cravings for sour foods suggest a boy, and spicy a girl.
Old Lady Mu really believed this folk wisdom.
Because the former daughter-in-law craved both sour and spicy foods during her pregnancy and ended up having twins, a boy and a girl.
Zheng Niannian thought for a moment, "Well, it seems to be sour."
"Sour is good, sour is good," Old Lady Mu was very excited, "Give birth to a boy, give Xiaodong and Xiaoxiao a little brother!"
A brother?
At that moment, Mu Xiaoxiao’s face became even uglier, her hands clenched into fists inside her sleeves.
She had plotted and calculated every possibility, but she never guessed Zheng Niannian would carry her father’s child.
Could it be...
She had been played by Zheng Niannian?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at Zheng Niannian, her eyes filled with anger.
She looked as if she could devour someone.
Just then, Zheng Niannian also looked up and saw Mu Xiaoxiao’s expression. She immediately moved behind Old Lady Mu, adopting an innocent demeanor, "Xiaoxiao, why are you looking at me like that? Did I upset you somehow, or... do you not welcome this child?"
Having said this, Zheng Niannian’s eyes welled up, "I know this might be hard for you to accept, if you really don’t welcome us then..."
Old Lady Mu interrupted Zheng Niannian before she could finish, "Niannian, don’t spout nonsense! This child is a blessing for our old Mu Family, who dares not to welcome him!"
After speaking, Old Lady Mu turned her head to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao! Apologize to your Aunt Zheng right now." freeweɓnøvel~com
She had always been aware of her granddaughter’s scheming.
Mu Xiaodong’s capabilities were clear.
For their generation in the Mu Family, there were only the siblings, Mu Xiaodong and Mu Xiaoxiao.
As long as nothing went wrong with Mu Xiaodong’s career, the heir to the family fortune would definitely be Mu Xiaoxiao.
Now with Zheng Niannian pregnant, there was another claimant to the inheritance, and naturally Mu Xiaoxiao felt uneasy.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, her eyes widening as she looked at Old Lady Mu.
She had never expected her grandmother to demand an apology to Zheng Niannian.
She hadn’t done anything; why should she apologize to Zheng Niannian?
The white lotus!
Zheng Niannian was just a white lotus.
She had first misled her into believing she was infertile, then made every effort to match her with her father.
Now that her goal was achieved, her true colors were showing.
This woman was truly terrifying.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao remained silent, Old Lady Mu frowned slightly, "Xiaoxiao, I’m talking to you! Apologize to your Aunt Zheng quickly."
Without waiting for Mu Xiaoxiao to respond, Zheng Niannian, holding Old Lady Mu’s hand and speaking in a gentle tone, said: "Auntie, let it go, please. Xiaoxiao is a good child, I must have been mistaken just now. There’s no need for Xiaoxiao to apologize to me, I should apologize to her."
After saying those words, Zheng Niannian turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, "I’m sorry, Xiaoxiao, Auntie misunderstood you, please don’t take it to heart."
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, completely at a loss.
She had previously thought such evil stepmothers only existed in novels. Unexpectedly, not only did they exist in real life, but she had encountered one!
How could she be so deceptive?
Seeing how mild and virtuous Zheng Niannian appeared, Old Lady Mu was extremely pleased and quickly slipped the Emperor Green Bracelet onto Zheng Niannian’s wrist, "Niannian, this is a gift from your Auntie."
