Chapter 175 Blackmail
The summer nights are a little cool, and standing outside the door is much more comfortable than being in the stuffy heat of the house.
Based on the principle of seriousness and responsibility, Yun Qiao stood outside the door and waited for a while to see if the two people would come back with the child.
She enjoyed the cool breeze for a while, and waited until the sweat on her body subsided. The couple still hadn't come back, so she didn't wait any longer, went back to the room, locked the door, lay down, turned off the lights and went back to sleep.
But just as she lay down and hadn't fallen asleep yet, there was a sudden burst of rapid knocks on the door.
“…”
Yun Qiao felt a little annoyed after being woken up again.
She wasn't annoyed by patients coming to her house in the middle of the night, but she was annoyed by patients coming to her house late at night and waking them up, and then saying that the patient was incurable.
Back and forth, this is just a joke!
Are you going to let me sleep?
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
The rapid knock on the door was particularly clear in the quiet night, making Yun Qiao feel uneasy.
Yun Qiao couldn't help but think again: He was away for such a long time and came back, knocking on the door so urgently, could something have happened to the child?
Thinking of this, Yun Qiao could no longer lie down. He quickly got up, turned on the light, put on a thin coat, and walked out of the inner room in slippers.
She opened the door in a hurry, but the person standing outside was not the family of three who had just left, but Chen Anna who had not been seen for a long time.
Yun Qiao was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Anna to come to her on her own initiative.
"An...Ju, Juxiang, why are you here?"
When Chen Anna saw Yun Qiao, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yun Qiao's arm, anxiously asking, "Did a couple come to you with their child just now? You didn't see them, did you?"
Chen Anna's belly was slightly bulging, and she was breathing heavily while speaking. The concern in her eyes made Yun Qiao feel warm in his heart.
Yun Qiao replied, "Juxiang, don't worry. Just now, a couple came to see me with their five-year-old child. They said they had a fever and asked me to prescribe antipyretics. I said I had to see the child first, but for some reason, the couple turned around and left with the child. I didn't get to see them."
The family of three with a child, the information matched.
When Chen Anna heard Yun Qiao say that he didn't see it, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if you didn't see it, it's okay if you didn't see it."
Yun Qiao saw that she looked upset, and he felt a little uneasy. He asked, "Juxiang, what happened? Do you know anything?"
Chen Anna hesitated, pursed her lips and said nothing. She subconsciously looked back.
Only then did Yun Qiao notice that there was a young man standing at the bottom of the stairs.
The young man was tall and strong, with a slightly darker complexion that looked bronze under the light. He looked like a typical country boy.
He is not handsome, but he has strong features and sharp eyes. His whole temperament exudes a sense of rebelliousness, which inexplicably attracts people's attention.
Chen Anna noticed Yun Qiao's gaze and explained to her, "This is my husband Tang Yi."
Yun Qiao nodded slightly towards Tang Yi as a greeting.
Chen Anna looked at Tang Yi with a questioning look, meaning "Can you tell me?"
Tang Yi knew Chen Anna's concerns, but he didn't have the concept of keeping dirty laundry secrets from the public, so he said directly: "You tell her, I'll wait for you outside."
"Tang." After getting Tang Yi's permission, Chen Anna no longer hesitated and turned to Yun Qiao and said, "Walls have ears. Let's go inside and talk."
Yun Qiao nodded, took Chen Anna into the house, and moved a chair for her to sit on.
Chen Anna said "thank you" and subconsciously held her stomach when she sat down.
Clothes are thin in the summer, so Chen Anna only wore a white cotton skirt with a light yellow jacket on the outside. The slightly loose skirt was pushed up by her bulging belly, which made her pregnancy more obvious.
Yun Qiao's eyes fell on her bulging belly, and he asked in surprise, "Are you pregnant?"
Chen Anna nodded.
Yun Qiao: "How many months?"
Chen Anna smiled gently and said, "It's been more than three months."
"Three months." Yun Qiao said in surprise: "Then your belly is not small, it looks like it's four or five months old."
Chen Anna smiled and said, "Tang Yi took me to the hospital, and the doctor said it might be twins."
"It's twins! That's great. Congratulations."
"Thank you." Chen Anna smiled. The arrival of the fetus in her belly added a maternal glow to her face, and reduced the cynical sharpness she had before.
After the greetings, Yun Qiao poured Chen Anna a glass of water and said with some emotion: "Juxiang, I didn't expect you to come all the way here to tell me the news even though you are pregnant."
She is still as sweet-mouthed but kind-hearted as ever.
Chen Anna also remembered that she had said some time ago that she and Yun Qiaoqiao would go their separate ways.
She lowered her eyes and said awkwardly, "We grew up together. I just couldn't bear to see you being blackmailed."
"Blackmail?" Yun Qiao's expression changed slightly. "Is there something wrong with the child who had a fever earlier?"
Chen Anna nodded and said, "The child didn't actually have a fever, he died. His family was unwilling to bury him like that, so they brought him here and want to extort money from you."
"Dead?!" Yun Qiao's face turned pale with fear when he heard it. Thinking about it again, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
No wonder she is unwilling to look after the child!
It turned out that the child had died long ago.
