Meng Yiran also saw the blood on the ground and, somewhat flustered, said, "Sister Keke, are you on your period?"
Ling Keke was in so much pain that she had difficulty even responding, and she just then realized she hadnāt had her period in a long time.
She thought of something, and her face turned pale, no longer caring about the pain in her stomach, wanting to get up from the ground. But as soon as she moved, her stomach hurt like hell.
Mother Meng was infuriated, feeling she had nearly ruined her sonās future.
Xinyan, although she hadnāt given birth in her past life, had watched many TV dramas, and seeing Ling Kekeās condition, she knew Keke was probably having a miscarriage.
Shen Guqing, being an obstetrician, understood even better: "What are you waiting for? Hurry and take her to the hospital."
Meng Yifei didnāt want to carry Ling Keke, but with Mother Meng having Ling Keke in trouble in their own home, she couldnāt care about anything else: "Yifei, saving her is the priority."
Meng Yifei hesitated looking at Shen Guqing, but also knew he couldnāt let Ling Keke have an accident in their home, so he picked her up and rushed out the door, heading to the nearest hospital.
After getting her to the hospital, obtaining money from Ling Keke, and paying the fees, he hurried outside to call the Ling Family, giving them a brief rundown of the situation.
This news left the second branch of the Ling Family completely bewildered. What was going on?
Now Meng Familyās son and daughter-in-law hadnāt divorced yet, where did the child come from, whose was it?
Ever since Meng Yifei carried Ling Keke out, the eavesdropping neighbors outside began to fully exercise their imagination, generating various versions of rumors in no time.
Some said the child in Ling Kekeās belly was Meng Yifeiās, and this was an arrival to force marriage.
Some said Ling Keke was trying to find a ready-made father for the child in her belly, scheming against Meng Yifei.
Even the matter of Meng Yifei and Shen Guqingās divorce was connected to this, truly rumors were fiercer than tigers.
Then there were those pitying Shen Guqing, some who said the Meng Family was not decent, and others blaming the Ling Family for poorly educating their daughter; in any case, it was quite a lively scene.
Shen Guqing knew that with Ling Keke causing a stir, her divorce would likely be delayed; though anxious, she knew there was no use worrying now.
The reason she had them take Keke to the hospital was to avoid getting tangled in the affair, so she wouldnāt be left with a bad name and trouble.
After leaving the Meng Family, Xinyan comforted her senior sister with a few words before parting ways.
Meanwhile, at the hospital it was lively. The Ling Family, waiting for Ling Keke to wake up, directly pressed her about whose child it was in her belly?
Ling Keke kept silent without speaking, she truly knew whose it was, but she genuinely hadnāt known about her pregnancy before; yet it was already almost two months along, and now the Meng Familyās gaze on her was filled with hostility. She understood there was likely no future with Brother Yifei.
Mother Meng now didnāt care about the Ling Familyās status, directly cursing: "Shameless, this isnāt merely harmful, always claiming to love my Yifei, yet her belly was long carrying a bastard, and she came to my home pretending to be pureātruly disgusting!"
Mother Mengās voice was loud, thoroughly ruining Ling Kekeās reputation, making the Ling Family grind their teeth in hatred towards her.
Ling Kekeās second sister-in-law got angry: "Mr. Meng, my Keke had an accident in your home, you donāt need to worry about whose child is in her belly, but Meng Family must compensate after knocking her down."
Mother Meng wasnāt having it after hearing their demand for compensation: "What was she doing at my home, you know better than anyone, and she didnāt even say she was pregnant. This is her lack of propriety, how can it be our fault?
Besides, we were the ones who took her to the hospital, instead of gratitude, you want to extort money from us, quite audacious, do we look like fools?"
The Ling Family knew they couldnāt keep a lid on this, embarrassed enough as it was, so they insisted she fell at the Meng Family home, demanding compensation, and finally threatened Meng Yiranās job seeing no concession from the Meng Family.
But the Meng Family felt sure the Ling Family knew about Ling Kekeās pregnancy from the start and had deliberately plotted this against them, so how could they compensate her?
Thus, the two families began a tug-of-war.
