"System, has Han Bailan left the unit?"
Song Lan's contact system.
[Just came from work.]
The system responded very quickly.
"Remember to give me directions, I'll take my men to Zhao Jing's house right now."
Song Lan gave instructions to the system.
【good! 】
The system responded swiftly and decisively.
"Uncle Han, how about we talk as we walk?"
Song Lan turned her gaze to Han's father and asked for his opinion.
"Could you tell me what you want to tell me first?"
Mr. Han did not answer immediately. At this moment, he had a bad feeling and felt that it was related to his daughter Lanlan.
With that in mind, it's better not to make a decision before you've figured things out.
"Uncle Han, what I want to talk about is related to your daughter, Comrade Han Bailan. Normally... Comrade Han Bailan is my elder brother's fiancée, my future sister-in-law... I shouldn't question her character, but just a few days ago, one afternoon, I encountered Comrade Han Bailan in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of our staff hospital..."
Based on my observation, Comrade Han Bailan is pregnant…
As Song Lan spoke, Han's father's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"My dear sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense!" Getting pregnant before marriage is not a good thing. Doesn't my dear sister-in-law know how important a girl's reputation is?
To actually speak to his face and insult his future sister-in-law was really bullying!
“Uncle Han, I’m not making this up. I’ve been learning medicine from my grandfather since I was a child, and now I’m a proper doctor. Just by looking at the way Comrade Han walks, anyone with a little experience can tell that she’s pregnant just by looking at her walk.”
Song Lan remained calm throughout. She said, "Besides, Uncle Han may not know that Comrade Han Bailan is registered under my name. If I am lying, Uncle Han can go to the police station to report me later."
"My Lanlan would never do anything foolish before marriage!"
As Han's father spoke, he shifted his gaze to Song Qingbin: "Did you, brat, disregard my Lanlan's wishes and force her to do something?"
Song Qingbin was surprised to be accused of something. He paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Han, you should know how long it has been since I last saw Comrade Han Bailan."
Furthermore, my marriage to Comrade Han Bailan encountered complications two months ago, as you are well aware. Under such circumstances, what reason do you think I have to do anything to Comrade Han Bailan?
Seeing Song Qingbin's calm expression, Han's father felt uneasy.
"Uncle Han, there's a saying, 'It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.' So I've been hesitating about whether to tell my older brother about it, because I believe in your daughter just as much as you do, and I also believe that my older brother wouldn't do anything he shouldn't have done before the marriage."
Besides, my elder brother and Comrade Han Bailan's wedding is just before the end of this year. Even if he's in a hurry, is it really necessary for him to be that anxious?
So, after some hesitation, I decided to tell my older brother what I knew. I didn't want to see him become a father unwittingly, or raise someone else's child. Uncle Han, if you were me, you probably would have made the same choice.
Song Lan's eyes remained calm and unwavering. She met Han's father's gaze, her expression indifferent, completely unfazed by his dark face and the anger in his eyes. She said:
"Just before I came to your grain station to find my elder brother, I ran into Comrade Han Bailan again. She was standing at the entrance of her workplace with a man in his early twenties. I vaguely heard Comrade Han Bailan call out to the man, Zhao Jing."
The two agreed to meet at the Zhao family's house in fifteen minutes. Comrade Han Bailan said she had something to tell Zhao Jing.
If I'm not mistaken, Comrade Han Bailan intends to tell Zhao Jing about her pregnancy.
"Let's go, I want to see if what you said, my sister-in-law, is true."
No matter how angry Mr. Han was, he still firmly believed that his daughter would not do anything foolish before marriage. He wanted to listen, see, and ask in person to expose the lies fabricated by Song Lan and prove his daughter's innocence.
"I'll lead the way."
Song Lan pushed her bicycle ahead and said, "After overhearing the conversation between Comrade Han Bailan and that Zhao Jing, I inquired about the approximate location of the Zhao family. It's not far, about a seven or eight-minute walk away."
"Little sister, are you sure Comrade Han Bailan is pregnant?"
Song Qingbin was cooperating with Song Lan's previous statement to avoid Han's father knowing that he had known about Han Bailan's pregnancy for a long time.
“Brother, I have no reason to lie to you with such a thing, and I have no reason to slander Comrade Han Bailan in front of Uncle Han.”
Before Song Qingbin could respond to Song Lan's words, Han's father snorted and said, "I believe we'll soon find out whether it's true or false."
"Uncle Han, I know you're in a bad mood, but I believe my sister wouldn't make things up without reason. Besides, Comrade Han Bailan is not satisfied with me and has proposed breaking off the engagement with me more than once. Since her intentions are so clear, there's really no need for you and Aunt to force us together."
Song Qingbin's words earned him a very complicated look from Han's father, who asked, "You don't believe Lanlan?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I can't find a reason to believe it."
How could he trust a girl who looked down on him and repeatedly proposed to break off their engagement? Instead, he doubted his own younger sister.
"Qingbin, I guess I misjudged you, Uncle Han!"
Disappointment was evident in Han's father's eyes.
Song Lan didn't interrupt, pushing her bicycle silently. Suddenly, Song Lan's voice rang out: "Big brother, Uncle Han, isn't that figure ahead Comrade Han Bailan?"
About fifty meters ahead of the three, Han Bailan got off her bicycle and pushed it into the gate of a nearby courtyard. Song Lan, with her keen senses, naturally wouldn't mistake Han Bailan for someone else.
