Chapter 286: Chapter 279: What a Pity

Bai Yiran received Sister Liu’s call and hurriedly went to the hospital. Sister Liu stood at the hospital entrance. Seeing Bai Yiran approach, she quickly greeted her, her eyes red, evidently from crying.

"Yiran, I was just upset and said a few words. I didn’t expect things would turn out like this..."

"It’s okay, Sister Liu. I’ll go take a look," Bai Yiran followed Sister Liu into the hospital.

In the obstetrics department, Xiao Mei was inside receiving a doctor’s examination. Xu Juan saw Bai Yiran and Sister Liu arrive, her face became grim. She pointed at them and shouted, "I’ll tell you this, if anything happens to my grandson, I won’t let it rest with you!"

In Xu Juan’s view, Sister Liu dared treat her that way because Bai Yiran instructed her.

Sister Liu’s body trembled slightly, fearfully clutching Bai Yiran’s clothes. Bai Yiran comfortingly patted her shoulder, "Don’t worry, I’m here."

Bai Yiran’s words inexplicably calmed Sister Liu, who slowly released her grip on Bai Yiran’s clothes.

"How is Xiao Mei now?" Bai Yiran asked softly.

"What else? She’s in there being examined!" Xu Juan replied crossly, her whole concern focused on her grandson.

Bai Yiran found Xiao Mei’s mother’s reaction strange. She just sat on a chair, showing no sign of worry for the child in Xiao Mei’s belly, looking rather relaxed instead.

Relaxed?

This shouldn’t be the expression of a grandmother-to-be...

Soon, Xiao Mei and the doctor came out from inside. Xu Juan hurriedly rushed forward to grab the doctor, asking, "How’s my grandson?"

Xiao Mei’s mother frowned and looked displeasedly at Xu Juan. This woman indeed only cared about that piece of flesh, showing no concern for their Xiao Mei.

Xu Juan had no mood to care about Xiao Mei’s mother’s expression at this point, only her precious grandson mattered.

The doctor pushed Xu Juan away, stepping back, "Everything is fine. Both the mother and the child are okay."

The doctor’s words left everyone present stunned. Xu Juan couldn’t believe the doctor’s words, "How can it be okay? She was just yelling miserably!"

"All tests indicate that both the mother and the child are alright. If you don’t believe it, go to another hospital!" The doctor disliked being questioned by patients.

Another hospital? This is already the best obstetrics department. There isn’t anything more authoritative.

Xiao Mei stood behind the doctor, seeing Bai Yiran, her face flushed unnaturally, always keeping her head down, not daring to look at Bai Yiran.

Since the doctor said everything was fine, Bai Yiran took the group back home.

Back at home, Xiao Mei was directly escorted into the room by Xu Juan and her mother.

Shortly after, Bai Yiran knocked and entered, looking at Xiao Mei, whose complexion was still rosy, "Xiao Mei, are you alright now?"

Facing Bai Yiran made Xiao Mei uneasy. Was there anything wrong with her? She hadn’t had any problems at all, except Sister Liu caught her in disguise, and because of Xu Juan, the situation escalated. She had no choice but to feign a stomachache. Originally, she intended to muddle through, yet didn’t anticipate Xu Juan would insist on taking her to the hospital and even call Bai Yiran, complicating matters further.

"I’m fine now," Xiao Mei said softly, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"What do you mean fine? You must have been scared just now, otherwise, why would your stomach hurt?" Xu Juan looked fierce, "It was that Sister Liu, who doesn’t even realize her position, a maid actually dared to argue with me! Bai Yiran, aren’t you firing her?"

Bai Yiran glanced at Xu Juan without responding and continued asking Xiao Mei, "What happened back then? Why did Sister Liu say you appeared at my bedroom door?"

She was finally asked this question, Xiao Mei’s face suddenly turned red, brows slightly furrowed, her hand subconsciously covering her belly, "Sister-in-law... I’m not feeling well right now, I’d like to rest first..."

Seeing Xiao Mei’s state, Bai Yiran didn’t continue questioning, "Then you rest well." With that, Bai Yiran stood up, walked to the door and said, "There’s some fault on Sister Liu’s part in today’s incident too, I’ll talk to her."

"Just talking to her?" Xu Juan asked begrudgingly.

"What else do we do?" Bai Yiran looked at Xu Juan, a smile lingering at her lips, "Sister Liu was hired by Leng Yichen. Even if she needs to be fired, it’s Leng Yichen who has the authority. Or, Auntie, would you like to talk to him yourself tonight?"

Bai Yiran’s words immediately doused half of Xu Juan’s arrogance.

What a joke, she didn’t have the nerve to discuss such matters with Leng Yichen. Even getting to live there required pleading with Bai Yiran. Leng Yichen would likely ignore her...

Seeing Xu Juan silent, Bai Yiran opened the door and walked out.

Xiao Mei’s mother observed everything just now, all the more determined not to let Xiao Mei marry into Yu Bin’s family. Primarily, Xu Juan was selfish and self-centered, while Yu Bin was lazy and a glutton.

It’s just a pity; if the child had really been lost, they’d have a reason to stay here longer.
