Everyone stared at Jiang Nuannuan, forcing her to reluctantly extend her wrist, her face pale as she looked at Old Chen.
Chen Lai was a highly skilled doctor, but she still clung to her only hope that the old man wouldn't notice anything amiss.
Old Chen stretched out his withered hand and pressed it on Jiang Nuannuan's pulse, his expression becoming serious.
The others held their breath, waiting for Elder Chen's result.
Tian Li leaned closer to Li Ying and whispered, "She's pregnant, so doesn't that mean she'll have to marry Ye Jingchi?"
Li Ying smiled slightly and shook her head gently.
She could tell from Jiang Nuannuan's complexion and the way she walked that Jiang Nuannuan was pregnant, but only a little over a month pregnant.
More than three months have passed since the flood relief efforts at Donghu Lake, so the child in her belly is not Ye Jingchi's.
Old Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Jiang Nuannuan. Jiang Nuannuan almost fainted at that glance, but she remained strong and calm.
"Mr. Chen, please speak frankly." Mrs. Jiang wasn't afraid of her daughter being pregnant. If Nuannuan was really pregnant, the Ye family wouldn't be able to deny it even if they wanted to.
"Your daughter is indeed pregnant."
In short, everyone present was deeply moved.
It turns out that Ye Jingchi really did sleep with Jiang Nuannuan during the flood relief efforts at East Lake. Now, Ye Jingchi has no choice but to take responsibility, even if he doesn't want to.
Ye Zhonghong grasped Nuannuan's hand with delight: "That's wonderful! Nuannuan, that's really wonderful! My third brother can't back out now!"
Tang Qiao sighed, "How could she have given birth to such an idiot?"
What's so good about this? Isn't this just ruining Ye Jingchi's reputation?
"Li Ying, did you hear that clearly? My grandfather's judgment is absolutely correct." Chen Wen said smugly.
Li Ying remained indifferent, her gaze distant and calm.
"Then, Mr. Chen, how far along is she in her pregnancy?"
What?
Jiang Nuannuan panicked and turned to look at Li Ying.
She found out!
She knew the child in her womb wasn't Ye Jingchi's!
"What are you talking about? Of course it's been more than three months!" Ye Zhonghong added.
Li Ying looked at Old Chen: "Old Chen, judging from her pulse, how many months pregnant is she?"
"Li Ying, what do you mean?" Ye Zhonghong glared angrily.
Li Ying didn't even bother to look at her, only focusing on Old Chen.
After a moment of contemplation, Old Chen gave his assessment: "Based on my pulse diagnosis, she is more than a month pregnant."
More than a month!
Mrs. Jiang retorted angrily, "Nonsense! How could Nuannuan have only been here for a little over a month? She said it's been three months."
Old Chen's face darkened: "Mrs. Jiang, do you doubt my diagnosis?"
Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly: "You Chinese medicine practitioners just like to confuse and mystify. Don't think I don't know that your Chen family has killed people with needles before."
Old Chen's expression immediately changed drastically: "Mrs. Jiang, please watch your words!"
In the past, the Chen family inevitably made mistakes in their medical practice, but some people like to exaggerate these small errors to embarrass the Chen family.
“Mrs. Jiang, if you don’t believe me, you can have Dr. Wu take your pulse again.” Old Chen thought Mrs. Jiang was being unreasonable.
It's just a pregnancy test; he wouldn't make a mistake.
"Old Chen's medical skills are renowned in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. How could he possibly misdiagnose a pregnancy pulse?" Doctor Wu joked with a smile.
Others echoed this sentiment.
"That's right, the pregnancy pulse is one of the most common pulse patterns diagnosed in traditional Chinese medicine. Not to mention Elder Chen, even a novice apprentice in traditional Chinese medicine can diagnose pregnancy as long as they master the skills. Mrs. Jiang's actions have really offended Elder Chen!"
“That’s right. My grandfather is a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine. How could he possibly misdiagnose a pregnancy pulse?” Chen Wen defended her grandfather fiercely.
Ye Zhonghong realized, "That's not right! My brother has been at East Lake for more than three months. If you were pregnant, it should be three months, not a month and a half!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began whispering among themselves.
"It seems there's more to this story!"
"Is it because Miss Jiang wants to find a father for the child in her belly that she's clinging to the Ye family?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Jiang felt ashamed and was furious. "My daughter would never do such a thing! You must have made a wrong diagnosis!"
“Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Chen did not misdiagnose your daughter. Your daughter is indeed pregnant, more than a month along.” A middle-aged woman stepped forward. “I am a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. She happened to have an appointment with me when she came for her check-up.”
When the obstetrician and gynecologist testified, Jiang Nuannuan could no longer hide the truth and burst into tears.
Mrs. Jiang turned around and slapped Jiang Nuannuan hard across the face: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Let me speak!"
As they were speaking, a tall figure strode into the center of the arena; it was Ye Jingchi.
His clothes were covered in dust and had holes torn by bombs, indicating that he had just finished an arrest mission for spies and hadn't had time to change.
Upon seeing Ye Jingchi, Jiang Nuannuan became even more frightened and tried to find a place to hide, but Ye Zhonghong grabbed her wrist tightly.
"You can't leave! We need to get this straight today!"
She had considered Jiang Nuannuan her best friend, and when Jiang Nuannuan said she wanted to be her third sister-in-law, Ye Zhonghong strongly supported her and unconditionally favored her. She never expected that Jiang Nuannuan would play tricks on her and deceive her friendship with such despicable behavior.
“China Red…”
Ye Jingchi took out a document: "This document is what I asked Leng Su to help investigate the events at the Donghu celebration banquet, and the name on it was deliberately crossed out. That person is Jiang Nuannuan!"
Jiang Nuannuan wanted to argue, but the baby's month of gestation was there, and she was speechless.
"I...I..."
"So you altered the documents? Jiang Nuannuan, you've gone too far! Do you know that because of your actions, my third brother almost lost his job! I treated you like a best friend, and you betrayed our family like this?" Ye Zhonghong was furious, feeling humiliated by being played.
"I……"
"Tell me, what exactly is written on that? Tell me!" Ye Zhonghong pressed.
Jiang Nuannuan bit her lip, refusing to say it.
Even if she can't become Ye Jingchi's woman, Li Ying has no right to compete with her.
"I've already questioned Leng Su about the information in the documents. The person that night was Li Ying, not Jiang Nuannuan!" Ye Jingchi said coldly, then looked at Jiang Nuannuan: "You lied and spread rumors, and you even tried to use the child in your belly to ruin my marriage with Li Ying. I need the Jiang family to give our Ye family an explanation for this matter!"
Mrs. Jiang was furious and slapped Jiang Nuannuan twice: "You idiot, how dare you impersonate someone else in something like this! Stupid!"
Jiang Nuannuan covered her face and apologized tearfully, "Third Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I was just out of my mind for a moment, please forgive me!"
Ye Jingchi turned to Li Ying and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Ying glanced at Jiang Nuannuan and said, "She only did something wrong because she likes you too much. I won't hold it against her, but they did cause me harm. It would be fine if they compensated me for my emotional distress."
