Chapter 262 Xiaoreng, you must take good care of Yuetong!
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
"When did you become so emotional?" Qin's father said coldly. "Remember, you are the heir of the Qin family. Don't let your personal feelings cloud your judgment."
After saying that, Qin's father hung up the phone.
Holding her phone, Yu Yuetong suddenly understood why Qin Reng had become so cold and hard. Growing up in such a family environment, how could he not arm himself?
My phone vibrated again. It was a message from Qin Reng: "Help! My mom is taking me to buy postpartum supplies!"
Yu Yuetong looked at the message and suddenly her smile vanished. She touched her own (now Qin Reng's) flat stomach and whispered, "Baby, what should we do?"
At that moment, she suddenly felt a pang of envy for Qin Reng. At least he had Han Shuang, a mother-in-law who doted on her daughter-in-law. As for her, it seemed she had nothing but Qin Reng.
The phone rang again; this time it was the old lady.
"Xiao Reng, I heard Yue Tong is pregnant?" The old lady's voice was filled with joy. "Are you at the hospital now? I'll come over right away."
Yu Yuetong was startled: "Grandma, no need! We're already home."
“That’s perfect, I’ll come to your house,” the old lady said. “I need to take a good look at my soon-to-be great-grandson.”
Yu Yuetong broke out in a cold sweat. Oh no, she was really going to be exposed now.
As Yu Yuetong was pondering how to respond, the old lady rushed into the house in a flurry.
"Xiaoreng, where is Yuetong?" The old lady looked around as soon as she entered the room.
“She…she went shopping with Mom,” Yu Yuetong answered, forcing herself to speak.
The old lady frowned: "It's not safe for a pregnant woman to be running around so soon after being diagnosed." As she spoke, she took out her phone to call Han Shuang.
Yu Yuetong quickly stopped her: "Grandma, please stop hitting her! Mom said she's going to buy her some nutritional supplements, she'll be back soon."
"Oh, you child." The old lady sighed and sat down on the sofa. "Come here, Grandma has a few questions for you."
Yu Yuetong's heart tightened, but she still obediently sat down next to the old lady.
"Do you still have some issues with Yuetong?" the old lady asked bluntly.
"No...no, that's not it." Yu Yuetong lowered her head guiltily.
"Stop pretending." The old lady gently patted her hand. "I know you've always felt that I forced you to marry Yuetong."
Yu Yuetong was taken aback. This was something she didn't know.
"Actually..." The old lady's eyes darted around, "Back then, it was truly my own wishful thinking that you married Yuetong. I thought she was intelligent, quick-witted, and had a good personality, and that she could help you manage the household and the company. But I never expected..."
The old lady's eyes suddenly reddened as she spoke: "I never expected your father to make things so difficult for her. I just wanted to find you a good helper, but instead, that child has suffered so much injustice."
Yu Yuetong felt a pang of sadness. So that's what the old lady was thinking.
"Grandma, please don't say that," Yu Yuetong said softly. "I... I'm very grateful to you for finding me such a wonderful wife."
The old lady looked at her in surprise: "Why are you being so gentle today, child?"
Yu Yuetong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain, when the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I'll go open the door." Yu Yuetong felt like she had been granted a pardon and quickly got up.
Standing outside the door were Qin Reng and Han Shuang, both carrying a pile of bags and packages. Qin Reng looked like he was about to collapse, and glared at Yu Yuetong as soon as he saw her.
"Grandma!" Qin Reng greeted the old lady with a sweet smile. "What brings you here?"
"Come and see my dear granddaughter-in-law!" the old lady said with a smile. "Come here, let Grandma take a good look at you."
Qin Reng walked over stiffly and was pulled down to sit by the old lady.
"Why does this child look so pale?" the old lady said with concern. "Xiaoren, you should take better care of your wife."
Looking at Qin Reng's pained expression as he was being repeatedly admonished by his two elders, Yu Yuetong suddenly found it both funny and touching.
She felt a warmth in her heart as she recalled the old lady's words. Perhaps, in this family, she didn't truly have nothing.
Just then, Qin Reng suddenly clutched his stomach, his face turning pale: "I...I'm feeling a little unwell..."
"Yuetong!" Han Shuang and the old lady exclaimed at the same time, and quickly helped Qin Reng up.
Yu Yuetong's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward: "I'll take her to the bedroom to rest."
"I'll go with you," Han Shuang said, and started to follow.
“No need, Mom,” Yu Yuetong said quickly, “You and Grandma should pack up the things you bought first, I’ll take care of her.”
After helping Qin Reng into the bedroom and closing the door, Yu Yuetong immediately lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's all your fault!" Qin Reng glared at her through gritted teeth. "You made me walk around in these damn high heels all afternoon, my feet are about to break!"
Yu Yuetong then noticed that Qin Reng's ankle was red and swollen. She quickly squatted down to help him take off his shoes.
"Don't touch it!" Qin Reng shrank back like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "It hurts so much!"
"Keep your voice down!" Yu Yuetong said helplessly, "If Mom and Grandma hear us, it'll be all over."
Qin Reng snorted coldly, but still obediently let Yu Yuetong help him take off his shoes. Yu Yuetong gently massaged his ankle, and Qin Reng gasped in pain, but he gritted his teeth and kept quiet.
"I'm sorry," Yu Yuetong said softly, "I should have reminded you to change into flat shoes."
Qin Reng was taken aback, not expecting her to apologize. Looking at Yu Yuetong's earnest profile, he suddenly felt a soft spot in his heart.
"Never mind," he said, turning his face away. "Anyway, I should learn to walk in high heels. What if I need to switch back later?"
Yu Yuetong paused in her actions: "Do you think we'll switch back?"
“Who knows,” Qin Reng sighed. “I’m not sure about anything right now.”
Footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and the two of them tensed up at the same time. Yu Yuetong quickly stood up and pretended to be concerned.
"Yuetong, are you alright?" Han Shuang asked from outside the door.
"It's nothing, Mom!" Qin Reng replied immediately. "I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Then you should rest well. Your grandma and I will go back first," Han Shuang said. "Xiao Reng, you must take good care of Yue Tong."
"Okay, Mom," Yu Yuetong replied.
The two breathed a sigh of relief as the footsteps faded into the distance. Qin Reng looked at his swollen ankle and suddenly laughed: "Tell me, what kind of expression would they have if they knew that the dignified president of the Qin Corporation can't even walk steadily now?"
Yu Yuetong was amused: "You'll probably think I bullied you."
“You’re absolutely right,” Qin Reng suddenly said seriously. “I just heard Grandma say that she only agreed to let us get married because she thought you could help me.”
Yu Yuetong was taken aback: "So?"
“So,” Qin Reng looked into her eyes, “you really did help me a lot. Even though it was under such strange circumstances.”
