"She went to the obstetrics and gynecology department." Mrs. Tao said.
Xiang Yazhi subconsciously gripped the phone and leaned into the sofa as she looked out the window and saw Lian He exercising. Only then did she relax and ask, "What is she doing there?"
"You have no idea, she looks quite pretty, but, she can't get pregnant." Mrs. Tao blurted out everything she knew.
After hanging up the phone, the corners of Xiang Yazhi's mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.
She had repeatedly confirmed the truth of this matter with Mrs. Tao.
Once Xiang Yazhi received a definite answer, she was incredibly happy. Such a young age and already stricken with gynecological issues, who knows if her private life is a mess?
And what's more, having blocked fallopian tubes means she can't have children. A woman who can't have children, what kind of good family would want to marry her?
Xiang Yazhi's eyes quickly darted around.
Just then, Lian Qingqing had just woken up and came downstairs. Lian Qingqing resembled Xiang Yazhi a lot but also combined Lian He's good features. Wearing a white and loose dress at home made her look very relaxed.
Her face followed after Xiang Yazhi, with a sharp oval shape, but her eyes were like He's, pigeon-like eyes that seemed as if they could speak. She always took very good care of her face since she was young, and her skin was still quite nice. Her long hair was dyed brown, with big wavy curls, giving off an indolent yet beautiful appearance.
"Mom, what's making you so happy? Did Qingyang call you?" Lian Qingqing's voice was also very pleasant, charming and sweet.
"Qingqing." Xiang Yazhi glanced outside at Lian He and lowered her voice, "I just got a call from Yu Jun's mom, saying that Tang Yue can't get pregnant. Isn't that good news?"
"Mom, how did Tao Yujun tell you about this?" Lian Qingqing lazily sprawled on the sofa, her petite body nestled into the soft cushions.
"She thinks that Qingyang is dating her." Xiang Yazhi gave a light snort, "Tao Yujun fancies Qingyang, but I don't think much of her, too petty. The Tao Family, they're not worthy of our Qingyang."
In Xiang Yazhi's heart, even though Lian Qingyang frequently infuriated her to the point of vomiting blood, her own son was still the best, and Tao Yujun, whom she had met a few times, was not to her liking.
"Mom, in my opinion, whether she can get pregnant or not, it's none of our business. We should just pretend this never happened." Lian Qingqing spoke with a coquettish voice.
Xiang Yazhi quickly said, "Qingqing, this is such a good opportunity. For a woman, being unable to get pregnant means she can't carry on the family line!"
"I heard she's engaged, and the terms aren't necessarily that good, but that vixen's daughter, she deserves to be lowly." When Xiang Yazhi spoke about Zhang Hualian and Tang Yue, her usual ladylike demeanor was gone, replaced by a hint of gnashing teeth.
"Mom." Lian Qingqing casually picked up the glass of milk on the table and began to drink, saying indifferently, "It's just an illegitimate daughter who can't show her face in public."
Ever since Xiang Yazhi came over, Lian Qingqing had heard a lot of harsh words from her about Tang Yue.
"Qingqing, even your aunt has acknowledged her." Xiang Yazhi looked at her seriously, "Qingqing, you have to help mom, what if the old Lian Family head finds out about this and wants to acknowledge his granddaughter?"
"Mom, do you think anyone with blood ties can enter the Lian Family?" Lian Qingqing said nonchalantly, pausing with her glass of milk upon hearing her aunt's name. She sipped her milk, placed the glass aside, and her slender, well-kept fingers, very pretty.
The second uncle of the Lian Family, there were plenty of illegitimate children, why hadn't they been acknowledged by the Lian Family?
She is but an illegitimate daughter.
"With all the time and energy put into her, it's better to pay more attention to Lian Qingyang, to prevent him from causing trouble." Lian Qingqing's face darkened when she mentioned Lian Qingyang; to him, his legitimate sister was almost like an enemy, yet he treated an illegitimate daughter like a treasure.
"Also, you must never let Dad know that she can't get pregnant. Dad would only feel more guilty if he found out." Lian Qingqing straightened her posture as she instructed earnestly.
Xiang Yazhi nodded. At first, she thought it was good news, but after her daughter's reminder, she realized that this matter should be kept under wraps. After all, Lian He was already ridden with guilt - why add more?
Lian Qingqing glanced sideways, "With such a capable daughter and a son at Jinghua University, what's there to worry about?"
"Dad wants to make amends, so you should be generous and treat her better. Don't give Dad any leverage." Lian Qingqing blinked and added, "Mom, as long as you don't give Dad any leverage, your position as Mrs. Lian is secure. Qingyang and I will be just fine."
Lian Qingqing spoke softly, never having bothered to persuade before, as she didn't see the need to care about a country-born illegitimate girl; someone not fit to be seen in public. Yet as Xiang Yazhi kept mentioning it, Lian Qingqing also analyzed the situation a few times.
Embracing Lian Qingqing, Xiang Yazhi said joyfully, "My clever daughter, you really are the smartest."
"Of course." Lian Qingqing held her head high with pride.
After leaving First Hospital, Tang Yue immediately went to the nearby Taihe Hospital with her medical report.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctors thought something serious had happened. To their surprise, Tang Yue promptly asked to be examined. After the examination and waiting for the report, the doctor said, "Tang Yue, right? There's nothing wrong with you; you're perfectly healthy."
"I'm not ill?" Hearing the doctor's words, Tang Yue's previously downcast face instantly lit up.
The doctor nodded, "Your uterus is in great condition, and there are no inflammations. Were you just recently married and pressured by your in-laws?"
"Sometimes getting pregnant is a matter of fate; it could also be an issue with the male partner."
The doctor prattled on, treating Tang Yue like a newlywed woman eager to conceive, and kept offering reassurances.
With a joyful expression, Tang Yue asked, "Doctor, are you sure I'm in good health? No pelvic inflammatory disease, no blocked fallopian tubes?"
She emphasized the last two conditions, afraid of a misdiagnosis, even considering undergoing another exam. Get full chapters from novel-fire.ɴet
The doctor gave Tang Yue a puzzled look and said, "You are very healthy. How can a young girl like you worry so much?"
"I…" Tang Yue found it hard to explain and instead took out the medical report from First Hospital.
The doctor glanced at the name and then the report, her frown so tight it could trap an ant. Incredulously she said, "How is this possible? This discrepancy is too great."
"Come with me, let's do another ultrasound." The doctor took Tang Yue to prepare for another ultrasound, personally performing the procedure to assure that her uterus was healthy and not as described in the initial report. The doctor confirmed, "Tang Yue, I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with your body."
