When Ye Nian'an mentioned contacting the police, Gu Tao's face turned pale instantly.
If the police come here, they might actually find something by following the clues...
Then Gu Tao is doomed!
Old Li, as the mastermind behind feudal superstition, should be imprisoned for ten or eight years.
As the one who paid Old Li for his money, I should at least serve two or three years in jail.
The key issue is that if this gets out, not only will my reputation be ruined, but I don't even know if I'll still have a share of the Gu family's assets.
We absolutely cannot let the police come!
Gu Tao forced a smile and said, "Comrade Ye Nian'an, aren't you exaggerating a bit? It's just a young couple arguing, getting really heated. Why would you need to call the police?"
"You want to see how your sister-in-law is? Sure, Tingting, come out here. Song Yan and Comrade Ye Nian'an want to see you."
When Liu Tingting heard Gu Tao calling her, she immediately felt dizzy again.
Moreover, his face was covered in bruises; how could he possibly go out and face people?
But the voice was like a death knell, making her temples throb.
Left with no other choice, she calmed the children down and came out of the room.
Before coming out, I made a point of finding a gray scarf to wrap around my neck and wearing an old hat, as if I wanted to hide my whole face.
Liu Tingting entered the living room, head down, her voice barely audible: "Um... I'm sorry, Song Yan, your sister-in-law looks a bit...unpresentable right now..."
Ye Nian'an was stunned when he first saw Liu Tingting.
Immediately, a complex and indescribable feeling welled up in my heart.
If she were fat, healthy, and arrogant, Ye Nian'an would most likely want to kill her.
Even though Liu Tingting covered herself up like this, she couldn't hide her despair, which was like a withered tree or a candle about to go out.
As a doctor, Ye Nian'an could roughly guess Liu Tingting's current condition.
This woman is most likely a victim of her wicked husband's abuse.
Even if Gu Tao went to Old Li's place hoping to use the children's luck to have a son, it was only because of his own desire.
Liu Tingting had absolutely no say.
What else can be said after Gu Tao has already ruined her like this?
Ye Nian'an couldn't help but think of herself in her previous life, and the scene stirred up her emotions.
Song Yan frowned deeply: "Sister-in-law, are you alright? Did Brother Gu Tao do something to you...?"
When I saw her a few months ago, she was thin, but still looked quite human.
Now he's so thin he looks like a leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any moment, and the sharp jawline created by the scarf is so prominent it's painful to look at.
Even considering that Liu Tingting might have been involved in Old Li's case.
But seeing her like this, I only felt sorry for her and couldn't get angry at all.
"Sigh... It's just that the couple argues. How can there be no friction in life? It's normal."
Liu Tingting's fingertips turned white as she gripped the scarf, going against her conscience to cover up Gu Tao's lie.
"Sister-in-law, may I have a word with you in private?"
Ye Nian'an suddenly took a step forward.
"Ah, this..."
Liu Tingting looked away guiltily.
After all, the woman in front of them was a victim of their feudal superstition.
Liu Tingting didn't even want to think about the consequences if it were found out that the person who had asked Old Li to steal their child's luck was a member of the Gu family.
Ye Nian'an said sincerely, "It's nothing, just a simple chat between women. I'm mainly concerned about you..."
Gu Tao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, desperately not wanting them to be alone, but he just couldn't find a reason to refuse.
He could only keep giving Liu Tingting meaningful glances.
They are husband and wife, and are one.
If Liu Tingting couldn't hold on at this moment and revealed something to Ye Nian'an...
Her days won't be easy either.
This is something they understand better than anyone else.
Liu Tingting understood his look, bit her lip, and said, "Alright, girl, come with me then."
Liu Tingting led Ye Nian'an to another room.
The two entered another small room. As soon as Liu Tingting closed the door, her face turned cold: "What do you want to say to me? If it's about my husband and me, that's our family matter, so you don't need to say anything more."
Ye Nian'an had anticipated Liu Tingting's reaction, so she wasn't annoyed. Instead, she gave a rather forced smile.
“Indeed, sister-in-law, this is your family matter, and I shouldn’t have interfered…”
"But before I came, I heard Song Yan say that because his sister-in-law had not been able to give birth to a son for Comrade Gu Tao, she had tried many methods over the years without success."
"Sister-in-law, have you been feeling dizzy and weak lately? And when you're in a bad mood, you feel completely exhausted and uncomfortable, and you can't even sleep well?"
Liu Tingting looked at Ye Nian'an in surprise upon hearing this.
Complete……
All correct!
Gu Tao hadn't even asked about these symptoms in detail. She just assumed it was because years of taking medicine had damaged her constitution. She went to the city hospital and got a lot of medicine to treat it, but it didn't work.
Seeing Liu Tingting's appearance, Ye Nian'an knew that her guess was pretty accurate.
"Sister-in-law, to be honest, I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, apprenticed under my maternal grandfather, Dr. Jin Huatuo. I don't know if you've ever heard of him..."
"Jin Huatuo!"
Liu Tingting suddenly exclaimed, "He's actually your maternal grandfather?"
Ye Nian'an raised an eyebrow: "Does my sister-in-law know my maternal grandfather?"
"My grandfather contracted tuberculosis back then, and everyone said there was no cure. In the end, he found Dr. Jin Huatuo."
Liu Tingting's voice suddenly rose, her eyes shining with excitement: "Their medical skills are superb, they have miraculous healing abilities, and they pulled my grandfather back from the brink of death."
“If it weren’t for Dr. Jin Huatuo, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He is a great benefactor to our Liu family. Our Liu family has always remembered him and kept in touch no matter how hard things got, but we were separated by the chaotic times back then.”
