The old lady said, "Answer it, and see what she has to say."
Although both of them had guessed the contents of the call, they still picked it up and put it on speaker.
——
The Lin Family really was pressuring for a marriage, so Fu Yanye was called back home that evening.
All the family elders sat on the couch, looking at him with particularly disdainful eyes.
Fu Yanye looked around and saw no sign of Zhuo Jian. Ignoring them, he sat down and asked, "Where's Zhuo Jian?"
"Tonight's about criticizing you, sweet Jianjian wasn't called,"
the old lady said.
Fu Yanye felt a bit uneasy; he had come back just hoping to see her.
"Lin Ruxiang is really pregnant. Her mother has already spoken to your mother. They said both families should sit down and seriously discuss your marriage. It can't be put off any longer, what do you say?"
Fu Zhengzhi spoke more sensibly.
"I said the child isn't mine. Do none of you believe me?"
Fu Yanye looked around at his relatives assembled there.
