In the end, it was Su Ruowan who went to the bathroom and brought Xiao Guoguo out. Xiao Guoguo had already sent the photos to his mother, but no one knew what his mother was doing now, as she had not replied.
Su Ruowan came over and knocked on the door. Xiao Guoguo sent a final voice message, "My aunt is here to see me. Mom, please don't reply to my messages. It would be bad if my aunt finds out."
After Xiao Guoguo sent the last voice message, she opened the bathroom door.
What he didn't know was that not long after, Huo Shengmei had just finished the video conference, saw the photos he sent her, and naturally heard the last voice message her son sent her. A bunch of questions were deeply suppressed in her stomach.
Finally, Huo Shengmei couldn't help but call Huo Shengnian.
Huo Shengnian stared at his sister's call for a while, then looked across at Su Ruowan, who was coaxing Xiao Guoguo to eat more. He stood up, holding the phone, and said, "I'll go into the room to answer the call."
"Okay, go ahead." Su Ruowan nodded. She was busy feeding Xiao Guoguo.
Huo Shengnian quickly returned to the room. Huo Shengmei had already called for the second time. Huo Shengmei, who had become impatient after becoming pregnant, took the initiative and asked, "Huo Shengnian, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering the phone?"
"Didn't I answer it?" Huo Shengnian replied calmly and without haste.
“…”
Huo Shengmei was stuck for a moment. Sometimes, she always felt that her younger brother was too mature. Although he was three years younger than her, his mature demeanor made him more like an older brother.
On the contrary, her impetuous style and irritable temperament make her look more like someone who needs protection.
"Guoguo, he didn't cause any trouble for you two, did he?"
"Even if he did, didn't Ji Ran shamelessly run to see you alone?" Huo Shengnian said helplessly.
It's causing trouble anyway, so don't say those false compliments, it seems you're not sincere.
"It seems that you are quite resentful of your brother-in-law?" Huo Shengmei snorted and laughed. She was a woman who protected her husband. It was only Huo Shengnian who said that Ji Ran was fine, so why not try someone else?
Her tigress claws weren't for nothing.
"Is there something wrong?" Huo Shengnian didn't want to waste time talking to her.
"Of course I have. Guoguo just sent me a photo of his aunt. I saw it and she looks pretty good. I like her looks very much. No wonder our grandma, who is so picky, likes her so much."
“…”
These are all nonsense. She made such an international long-distance call just to tell him that Su Ruowan is a nice person?
She likes it?
So what if both she and her grandmother like her very much? He has his own considerations and sticks to his original decision. Everything has to wait until Su Ruowan passes all his tests and he approves of her. Only then can their marriage last a long time.
Even if everyone agrees except himself, he will not stick to it.
Similarly, if it is a woman that he approves of and everyone else opposes, he will fight the whole world for this woman.
"When your brother-in-law and I return from abroad this time, please make arrangements. I want to meet her formally."
"Let's talk about this later. If you're okay, just get some rest. You're pregnant, so avoid anything with radiation."
"Your brother-in-law can't control me, how can you control me?" Huo Shengmei raised her eyebrows.
"Didn't he personally fly over there to supervise you?"
“…”
Ji Ran flew over here just to spend some time alone with her, not like what he said.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with him.
"Anyway, I accept this sister-in-law. Moreover, I think she is much better than Fu Mingyue. I heard that Fu Mingyue and Huo Jingbang, that couple, came to Fengcheng?"
"Friendly reminder, Huo Jingbang is your uncle, don't be so unruly." Huo Shengnian said in a low voice.
"Oh, uncle? If he really treated you as his nephew, would he get involved with Fu Mingyue?" Huo Shengmei couldn't help but raise her voice. Thinking of the couple parading so blatantly from the imperial capital to Fengcheng, she really didn't care about the little guy in her belly who needed prenatal education.
She really wanted to curse.
"Fu Mingyue and I never made any promises. It was all a misunderstanding. It was just something my elder said casually."
"Who are you? Don't I, your elder sister, know that? You didn't refute it on the spot, which proves that you acquiesced. Since you acquiesced, the elders on both sides knew it very well. Huo Jingbang still did such a thing. Isn't he a dog?"
"Okay, don't let grandma hear this. Just vent your anger to me. Huo Shengmei, don't blame me for not reminding you that he is grandma's biological son." Huo Shengnian's voice became lower.
Huo Shengnian basically never calls Huo Shengmei "sister" or Ji Ran "brother-in-law". He has been precocious since he was a child, and because of what he has been through, Huo Shengmei and Ji Ran both feel sorry for him.
As for addressing them, whether it is sister, brother-in-law or just calling them by their names, they think it is a trivial matter that does not need to be bothered about at all.
"I know, that's why you endured this grievance. Others don't feel sorry for you, and you don't allow me, your sister, to feel sorry for you?" Huo Shengmei's heart ached every time she thought of what her brother had suffered.
"You should take good care of yourself now. Taking good care of yourself and the little one in your belly is better than anything else. Live a good life with Ji Ran."
"Huo Shengnian, tell me, could it be Huo Jingbang who was in the car accident that year..."
"Huo Shengmei, don't speak without evidence. Be careful of your words."
The second branch of the Huo family had suffered enough. Their father had passed away and his body was nowhere to be found. Every year they held memorial services, but they didn't know where to go. They could only burn paper for their father by the river or the stream, letting the ashes float downstream.
When it snows, they think that their father has come back to visit them.
However, Fengcheng is located in the south and it is rare for it to snow.
"Yes, we are so happy today, let's not talk about the past. We, siblings, will have another family member in the future." Before even meeting Su Ruowan, Huo Shengmei had already classified Su Ruowan as a family member.
"……Um."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Shengnian sat in the room, dazed for a long time.
When he left, Su Ruowan not only cleaned the kitchen, but Xiao Guoguo and Su Ruowan were both not in the living room, and Xiao Guoguo's astronaut suitcase was no longer in the living room.
Huo Shengnian looked around and finally heard Xiao Guoguo's clear laughter coming from Su Ruowan's room. Huo Shengnian walked over with a cane. Su Ruowan had already given Xiao Guoguo a bath and was wiping his body with a bath towel.
Huo Shengnian's eyes were deep, and he was just about to remind Xiao Guoguo that he was a little boy, so how could he let Su Ruowan help him take a bath?
He was three years old at the time and could already take a bath by himself.
Su Ruowan turned around and found him standing at the door. She explained to him, "The weather is too hot. He was sweating all over just now. I thought of giving him a bath, changing his clothes, and then wiping him before bed. It would be much simpler."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Huo Sheng said in a young voice.
"Won't."
