From a different perspective, Miao Niandi saw her mother's anxiety differently.
After a while, Zhen Aiyin wiped the sweat off her forehead. She frowned and said, "Niandi, there's no rush. Just wait. Your brother will probably be back in a few days. As for your grandparents, I'll calm down first. It's your third sister who's causing a ruckus."
"Look for a time to persuade her. It's been a few months since Kang Xiaoqiao started school and she hasn't come to our house. Perhaps she doesn't want to find us, or maybe this is really a misunderstanding? Let's think of another way."
Miao Niandi quietly listened to her mother's words, and her eyes flickered as she said, "Mom is right. I'll go talk to third sister. You don't have to worry about her."
"Dad is a big deal. If someone finds out, they will find trouble with dad. That would be scary."
The last few words emphasized her tone. Zhen Aiyin's heart quivered when she heard that. That's right. If someone caught her, how would she end up?
Zhen Aiyin left Miao Niandi's room in a daze. Miao Niandi's eyes turned cold as she glanced at the money in her file bag.
The more she thought about her mother's attitude, the more frightened she became. No matter what, she could not let Kang Xiaoqiao into the house.
A person who looked like her and was admitted to one of the top ten universities in the country, not to mention the top three universities, was still married to Lu Yichen. No matter what, she was more outstanding than her, Miao Niandi. Now, she was only better than her in terms of status.
If even her status was the same, where would Miao Niandi go?
After Zhen Aiyin returned to her room, she just sat there in a daze. She didn't even notice that the sky had turned dark.
After Miao Zhibo returned, he felt that something was wrong. He hung up his clothes and asked, "Nianjie, where's your mother? '
Miao Nianjie ate the melon seeds while watching TV. She didn't even look at the TV. She curled her lips and said, "My mother is in her room. She stayed there for the whole afternoon. Who knows what happened to her?"
Crack, crack--
Miao Nianjie continued to eat melon seeds. He said with a cold face, "You child, your mother stayed in her room for so long. Don't you think it's reasonable for you not to go and take a look?"
When he said this, Old Madam Miao was unwilling. She glared at Miao Zhibo and said, "Nianjie just came back. What does she know?"
"You don't know what happened to your wife because of this?"
"What happened to Yifu? When will he come back? Also, isn't that Yue family's girl with her? Doesn't she know where that little girl, Nianjie, is?"
At this time, Miao Niandi ran out of the kitchen and said, "Dad, you're back?"
"Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat."
When Miao Zhibo heard this, his expression softened slightly. He smiled at Miao Niandi and said, "I know. My second daughter is the most sensible one. Go and call your mother. Forget it, I'll go."
Then, he turned to Old Madam Miao and said, "Mom, Yifu is out for training. He'll probably be back in a week at the earliest. How about this? I'll ask Old Yue tomorrow."
Old Madam Miao rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. Miao Zhibo turned around and went back to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhen Aiyin sitting on the stool in a daze. The room was dark, and Miao Zhibo was scared out of his wits.
He walked up quickly and asked nervously, "Aiyin, what happened to you? What's going on?"
"Did you encounter something that you can't accept?"
Then, he immediately thought of Old Madam Miao's question and couldn't help but frown. "Aiyin, we've been married for many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Do you really believe that I have an illegitimate daughter outside?"
Hearing this, Zhen Aiyin didn't wait to speak before her tears fell. However, a beauty was still a beauty. Even her tears were so beautiful.
Her silent crying made people's hearts ache. Although she was over forty years old, she still retained her charm. It was evident that not only did she take good care of herself, but her life was also smooth sailing. If a woman didn't worry, she would naturally be young.
Zhen Aiyin's silent crying scared Miao Zhibo. He squatted on the ground and gently wiped her tears with his hand. With a distressed look, he said slowly, "Aiyin--"
"Tell me about you. You just love to let your imagination run wild. If you didn't think too much back then, how could Kazuo have given birth prematurely? Fortunately, Kazuo's body is strong, but that time, it scared me."
"It was a huge hemorrhage. It was so scary. You almost didn't come back. Fortunately, someone saved you. Although you can't give birth anymore, I'm already thankful that I can save your life."
"Aiyin, I really didn't get together with Wang Xiuru back then. I really didn't, and it's even more impossible for me to give birth to an illegitimate child. Believe me."
"Those are all hearsay. They're all nonsense. Your pregnancy back then was so dangerous. I was worried that you wouldn't make it in time. How could you do such a thing? Not only did you violate the rules, but it also hurt your heart. How could I bear to do that?"
Zhen Aiyin's tears fell even more fiercely. She sobbed and said, "Zhi, Zhibo--"
"Tell me, tell me. If I had a daughter back then, would you have divorced me and married that Wang Xiuru?"
Miao Zhibo looked at his expectant wife and sighed. He touched her head and sighed. "Sigh, you haven't let go of this worry after so many years."
"Aiyin, you have given birth to four children for me. Even if the last child isn't a boy but a daughter, I, Miao Zhibo, am destined to have no children. How can I bear to abandon such a good wife?"
"And then let other women come over? Will she really love Niandi and the others? You know how much I love our daughters. Even if you can bear to, I can't bear to see them suffer."
Hearing this, Zhen Aiyin's tears rolled in her eyes. Then, she asked nervously, "But... but mom won't agree. Mom, she..."
Before Zhen Aiyin could finish, Miao Zhibo said resolutely, "Aiyin..."
"Even if my mom is wishful and I don't agree, what else can she do?"
Hearing this, Zhen Aiyin burst into tears. She cried even harder, and her tears fell like they were free.
She cried until her heart was broken, and she cried until her heart was torn apart.
However, Miao Zhibo was scared out of his wits. Even the others downstairs were stunned. What was going on?
However, Old Lady Miao rolled her eyes. Miao Nianjie curled her lips while Miao Niandi narrowed her eyes. No one made a sound. After an unknown amount of time, the crying stopped.
Of course, Zhen Aiyin didn't go downstairs to eat. Everyone in the Miao family looked worried, especially Miao Niandi. She had an unprecedented sense of danger and ate like wax.
