Chapter 315 The Pregnancy Posture Was Too Fake, Everyone Saw It Through
Reading Settings
Xie Wanying's face turned even paler.
She came here today to make things difficult for Shu Ying, but she didn't expect that the scheme she set for her would backfire on her.
Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan were equally confused. Although their support was wavering, no one dared to be careless when it came to children, as it could easily result in a death. The group took turns trying to persuade them.
Xie Wanying was so anxious that sweat streamed down her forehead. "I know my own body. Do you think you can just go to a hospital like that? Countless patients come and go every day, carrying countless viruses. My baby is perfectly healthy!"
Shu Ying's expression didn't change much. She had only suspected that Xie Wanying was faking her pregnancy, but now that Xie Wanying kept making excuses, she had to think about it more deeply.
"Everyone is here today watching. Since you refuse to go to the hospital, I won't say much more. But you can't take your parents' things with you. They have the keys. It's their own home, and they have the right to make decisions."
Xie Wanying's face was flushed. She had to avoid others taking her to the hospital while also avoiding Shu Ying's hand, which might reach out to take her pulse at any moment.
Her face flushed red, she took a step back. Seeing that this was no longer the best time to cause trouble, she could only make a quick getaway.
"Shuying, stop being so smug. I'll be back. Mom and Dad will definitely give me the key. Just you wait!"
After all, no one would abandon their own biological daughter.
No matter how well Shu Yingming acts in public, she is still just a daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law is an outsider.
Shu Ying found it laughable; this person was so foolish that he was beyond redemption.
Seeing Xie Wanying with one hand on her waist and rushing to escape, Zhang Hongxia couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Wasn't she just in a lot of pain? But now she's holding her stomach, and her steps are so brisk. She doesn't seem to be having any miscarriage problems at all. And why does her belly look so strange? Is she pregnant?"
Zhang Hongxia's three questions hit the nail on the head for everyone else.
It was so exaggerated just a moment ago, but now it's back to normal. That's so weird.
Tian Fang glanced at her child. Who hasn't experienced pregnancy? Some people's appearances are obvious at a glance. Several people met Shu Ying's gaze, stared at Xie Wanying's back for a while, and when they finally realized what was happening, their eyes were full of disbelief.
"Even if she's supporting her back, she shouldn't be in this stage of pregnancy, right? The way she's walking..."
Tian Fang hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
After all, everyone is different, and it's not very scientific to judge solely by posture and the size of the belly.
"It's good that everyone understands, but it's not appropriate to explain this matter too clearly right now. We haven't figured out the specifics ourselves, so it's best not to leak the news."
Seeing everyone looking at her with agreement, Shu Ying simply reassured them with her eyes.
Liu Xiulan felt a chill run down her spine.
She looked at Zhang Hongxia beside her and said, "I didn't notice it before, but why is she pretending to be pregnant? If her in-laws find out, it won't do her any good. She'll end up not only losing the baby but also ruining her reputation. It's not worth it at all."
Moreover, it's difficult for someone who isn't pregnant to fabricate a lie. Everyone knows what a pregnant woman looks like. She might be able to hide it for the first few months, but as the pregnancy progresses and there's still no sign of pregnancy, even a fool would notice something's wrong.
Even if Xie Wanying was eager to have a child, she shouldn't have told such a blatant lie.
Zhang Hongxia immediately saw through the situation and looked at Shu Ying with a sympathetic expression.
"She's in a rush to get home to grab things, and she's faking a pregnancy here. There's definitely something wrong with her. In short, we need to be careful during this time and not get stuck with this kind of pest, otherwise it will be troublesome to get rid of her."
She gently patted Shu Ying's hand, her voice becoming more resolute, "Comrade Shu Ying, don't be afraid. We'll be on guard next time she comes over, and we'll come and tell you immediately if she makes any moves."
Although they didn't know what Xie Wanying was really up to, they were more willing to believe Shu Ying.
Xie Mingzhu politely thanked the person, but then kept her eyes fixed on Li Chunyan.
When Xie Wanying slunk away, Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan immediately followed. They had already walked quite a distance when the surroundings finally quieted down. The two women exchanged a suspicious glance, and Li Chunyan grabbed Xie Wanying's arm with one hand, still not quite understanding what was going on.
"Wanying, didn't you just say you had a stomachache? How come you're all better now? Were you just acting?"
Zhao Lijuan vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she hadn't figured it out yet, so she just listened silently from the side.
Xie Wanying belatedly realized that she had walked too fast, gave her a disgruntled look, and then placed another hand on her stomach.
"How could I not care about my own child? Who knows what that Shu Ying is really up to? She knows a thing or two about medicine. What if she really wants to harm my child? Wouldn't I be completely defenseless? Even if we go to the hospital, my husband should be with me. Who does she think she is?"
Zhao Lijuan turned her head to look elsewhere, but didn't say what was on the tip of her tongue.
"You two are most important right now to keep an eye on Shu Ying and Song Zhaodi's actions. If there's anything unusual happening between them, come and let me know immediately. You don't need to worry about the child."
Xie Wanying disregarded her own disheveled state; the thought of Shu Ying's gaze made her inexplicably feel guilty.
Could it be that they have discovered something?
Thinking that she hadn't seen Xie Zhiyan today, Xie Wanying's eyelids twitched, and she became even more flustered.
Zhao Lijuan glanced at her lightly and changed the subject.
"I don't see anything wrong with Song Zhaodi, so why are you still keeping an eye on her? Wanying, are you under too much pressure lately, or is there some misunderstanding between you and Song Zhaodi?"
