Seeing everyone looking at her with agreement, Shu Ying simply reassured them with her eyes.
Liu Xiulan felt a chill run down her spine.
She looked at Zhang Hongxia beside her and said, "I didn't notice it before, but why is she pretending to be pregnant? If her in-laws find out, it won't do her any good. She'll end up not only losing the baby but also ruining her reputation. It's not worth it at all."
Moreover, it's difficult for someone who isn't pregnant to fabricate a lie. Everyone knows what a pregnant woman looks like. She might be able to hide it for the first few months, but as the pregnancy progresses and there's still no sign of pregnancy, even a fool would notice something's wrong.
Even if Xie Wanying was eager to have a child, she shouldn't have told such a huge lie.
Zhang Hongxia immediately saw through the situation and looked at Shu Ying with sympathy.
"She's in a rush to get home to grab her things, and she's faking a pregnancy here. There's definitely something wrong with her. In short, we need to be careful during this time and not get stuck with this kind of pest, otherwise it will be troublesome to get rid of her."
She gently patted Shu Ying's hand, her voice becoming more resolute, "Comrade Shu Ying, don't be afraid. We'll be on guard next time she comes over, and we'll come and tell you immediately if she makes any moves."
Although they didn't know what Xie Wanying was really up to, they were more willing to believe Shu Ying.
Xie Mingzhu politely thanked the person, but then kept her eyes fixed on Li Chunyan.
When Xie Wanying slunk away, Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan immediately followed. They had already walked quite a distance when the surroundings finally quieted down. The two women exchanged a suspicious glance, and Li Chunyan grabbed Xie Wanying's arm with one hand, still not quite understanding what was going on.
"Wanying, didn't you just say you had a stomachache? How come you're all better now? Were you just acting?"
Zhao Lijuan vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she hadn't figured it out yet, so she just listened silently from the side.
Xie Wanying belatedly realized that she had walked too fast, gave her a disgruntled look, and then placed another hand on her stomach.
"How could I not care about my own child? Who knows what that Shu Ying is really up to? She knows a thing or two about medicine. What if she really wants to harm my child? Wouldn't I be completely defenseless? Even if we go to the hospital, my husband should be with me. Who does she think she is?"
Zhao Lijuan turned her head to look elsewhere, but didn't say what was on the tip of her tongue.
"You two are most important right now to keep an eye on Shu Ying and Song Zhaodi's actions. If there's anything unusual happening between them, come and let me know immediately. You don't need to worry about the child."
Xie Wanying disregarded her own disheveled state; the thought of Shu Ying's gaze made her inexplicably feel guilty.
Could it be that they have discovered something?
Thinking that she hadn't seen Xie Zhiyan today, Xie Wanying's eyelids twitched, and she became even more flustered.
Zhao Lijuan glanced at her lightly and changed the subject.
"I don't see anything wrong with Song Zhaodi, so why are you still keeping an eye on her? Wanying, are you under too much pressure lately, or is there some misunderstanding between you and Song Zhaodi?"
