Chapter 550: Many Doubts
Wen Liang stroked her belly and asked curiously, "Is Xiao Heng currently being fed with a mixture of breast milk and formula?"
Just as Xie's mother was about to speak, Xie Min spoke before her and nodded, "Yes, I heard that this way of feeding is good for both the baby and the mother."
Xie Mu caught a glimpse of panic in Xie Min's eyes and asked curiously, "Isn't it too early? I see others only start feeding formula after six months."
"Every family's situation is different. The doctor said it's okay." Xie Min's face turned cold and she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
Xie's mother interrupted him, and Xie Mu also shifted his attention, as if it was just a casual question.
Wen Liang noticed something strange.
Breast milk contains the nutrients and immune components that babies need, and is the most suitable food for babies. While the formula of milk powder tries to be close to breast milk, there are still some differences between it and breast milk.
Fu Heng was born prematurely. I heard that he stayed in an incubator for a few days after birth and looked a little thin. In this case, breastfeeding is naturally better. Why did he start drinking milk powder so early?
The strange thought only flashed through his mind, and Wen Liang didn't think much about it.
It may be that the milk powder Xie Min uses is expensive, and its nutritional content can replace breast milk.
At around eleven o'clock, the guests went to Demanlou for dinner.
While eating, Xie Mu observed his second aunt's movements.
As the banquet was about to end, she caught a glimpse of her second aunt walking towards the bathroom.
Xie Mu put down his chopsticks.
The two met at the bathroom sink and greeted each other.
Second Aunt asked with a smile, "Xiao Mu, how was your meal today?"
"Very good, Auntie is really generous. This table must be very expensive."
Second Aunt smiled and asked, "Why didn't your father come today? How is his health now?"
"He happened to go to the hospital for a follow-up check today." Xie Mu mentioned it casually, "By the way, Auntie, Xiao Heng started feeding formula so early? I heard he was born prematurely. Is that okay?"
Whenever she mentioned Second Aunt, she would get angry and her complaints would flood out like a flood. "There's no good or bad, it just has to be this way!"
Xie Mu raised an eyebrow. "It can only be like this? What does that mean?"
Second Aunt looked around and lowered her voice, "Minmin has no milk!"
Second Aunt didn't like Xie Min in the first place. Later, when she found out that Xie Min was careless and her child was born prematurely and had to stay in an incubator, she became even more dissatisfied with Xie Min.
After a lot of effort, the child met the discharge criteria, but Second Aunt received news that Xie Min had no milk, which meant that the child had to be fed with formula. Second Aunt was so angry that she didn't know what to say!
She didn't let Xie Min and Fu Sheng get a marriage certificate, but apart from that, Fu Sheng was definitely a qualified son-in-law to Xie Min and the Xie family!
The betrothal gift was 1.3 million yuan, a house was registered in Xie Min's name, miscellaneous gifts amounted to 200,000 yuan, and he also helped Xie Min's younger brother and sister-in-law transfer to a good school in Jiangcheng, etc. This does not include the brand-name clothes, shoes, bags, mobile phones, etc. that Fu Sheng bought for Xie Min during their relationship.
Hearing this, Xie Mu was shocked, "Why is there no milk?"
"Maybe it's due to her physical condition... maybe it has something to do with premature birth."
At the beginning, the confinement nanny would also make some food to promote milk secretion, but it was of no use to Xie Min!
Massage is useless.
Even the confinement nanny said that she had seen women with little milk, but had never seen one with no milk at all!
"Minmin was fine, why did she give birth prematurely?"
Second Aunt sighed, "I heard she accidentally fell down the stairs? Why would a pregnant woman like her climb stairs?"
"...I heard?" A dark light flashed in Xie Mu's eyes.
The reason she gave birth prematurely was that she accidentally fell down the stairs.
"Yes, Fu Sheng and I rushed to the hospital, and she had already given birth."
Second Aunt also had a strange idea at first, suspecting that Xie Min was covering up something in this series of events.
But he immediately let the thought go because Fu Sheng did a paternity test and the child was indeed his.
"When was the baby born?"
Second Aunt was puzzled for a moment, but still answered, "Seven o'clock in the evening."
Four hours after she gave birth.
Xie Mu's heart was beating wildly.
Why did Xie Min give birth prematurely and why was the Fu family not there?
Why is there no milk?
Because the child was not hers at all!
Although there was no substantial evidence, all the anomalies made Xie Mu extremely suspicious that the child in Xie Min's arms was actually hers!
The hospital told her that she had given birth to a stillbirth and only opened the bag to let her take a look.
But that might not be her child, right?
She had a green light in all prenatal checkups before delivery.
After she fell, she immediately called 120 and was sent to the hospital not too late, otherwise the doctors and nurses in the ambulance would have helped her give birth.
When did Xie Min find out she was pregnant?
Why did Xie Min do this?
That is not the child of the Fu family at all. Isn’t she afraid that Fu Sheng will find out?
Second Aunt saw Xie Mu in a daze and said, "Xiao Mu, you don't think Auntie is nagging, do you?"
She and Xie Mu are just landlord and tenant, but Xie Mu and Xie Min are cousins who grew up together.
She didn't care whether Xie Mu would tell Xie Min, she was just afraid that Xie Mu would think she was mean.
"How could that be? It's indeed Minmin's fault for not being careful, but fortunately the child is fine. If he is fed and cared for well, he will definitely be fine."
"You're right, Xiao Mu. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm busy. I'll leave first." said the second aunt.
Xie Mu came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Auntie, please go and get busy."
As she watched her second aunt leave, a guess flashed through her mind.
The tone of Second Aunt's words just now clearly revealed her dislike for Xie Min. Could it be that Xie Min needed a child to secure her position in the Fu family?
Xie Min might have thought about discussing it with her, but she would definitely not agree, so she acted on her own and acted first and asked for permission later. It was indeed a good outcome for an illegitimate child to become a legitimate child of the Fu family, so she was sure that she would not expose it?
But it was impossible for Xie Mu not to expose it.
Xie Min's behavior was too risky. Once Fu Sheng found out, the child would not have a good ending.
Fortunately, she knew both Fu Sheng and Fu Sheng's mother.
As long as she tells Fu Sheng and Fu Sheng does a paternity test, everything will be revealed.
There is no time to delay.
Xie Mu returned to his seat and sat down.
The guests left one after another, and soon Xie Mu was the only one left at the table.
As the child's father, Fu Sheng was busy greeting the guests and seeing them off after the banquet.
When there were not many guests left, Fu Zheng and Wen Liang left together. When passing by Xie Mu, Wen Liang said goodbye casually, and Xie Mu saw him off with a smile.
She glanced at Fu Zheng inadvertently and found that Fu Zheng was looking at her with meaningful eyes.
Did he discover something too?
“Knock knock—”
Fu Sheng glanced at the table twice, then looked at Xie Mu, who had come back to his senses. "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Xie Mu bit his lip and said, "Manager Xie, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"It's very important."
"Wait a moment."
Fu Sheng went back to work, and only came over after all the guests had left. "Let's go, talk to the car, and I'll take you home."
"oh."
When they got in the car, Fu Sheng looked at her and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Xie Mu hesitated.
If she directly said that Fu Heng was not his child, would he be angry and think she was talking nonsense?
She asked indirectly, "Manager Fu, do you think Xiao Heng looks like you?"
