Gao Lan was eating some fruit.
When Mrs. Qin returned, Gao Lan stood up. "Mom, a really strange call came in about half an hour ago."
Mrs. Qin looked at her as soon as she heard that.
"What strange call?"
"Someone called and didn’t say a word. When I asked who it was, they just hung up. I have no idea what that was about."
Gao Lan suddenly had a thought. "Mom, do you think it could be some kind of criminal?"
Mrs. Qin: ...?
’What kind of criminal would call the house?’
’The only people who’d call the house are either my daughter or my sons.’
’But based on what Gao Lan said, it couldn’t have been Qin Wenying.’
’After all, if Wen Ying really called home, she wouldn’t just hang up without a word, even if Gao Lan was the one who answered.’
’Of course, her younger daughter-in-law, Mingxue, was also out of the question; she wouldn’t hang up without saying anything either.’
She guessed it was Qin Wenhao.
"Don’t worry about it. They probably just changed their mind about calling. Anyway, how’s your stomach? Feeling any better?"
Gao Lan had mentioned her stomach was hurting a bit when Mrs. Qin left this morning.
Mrs. Qin had tried to persuade her to go to the hospital, but Gao Lan had said she’d wait and see, so Mrs. Qin had gone out to take care of her own errands.
She had rushed back to see if the pain was still there. If it was, she was determined to take her to the hospital right away.
"Mom, my stomach is much better. It doesn’t hurt anymore."
Gao Lan said, feeling a little guilty.
The reason she had claimed to have a stomachache this morning was because she’d had a little tiff with Qin Wenze. She wanted to smooth things over but couldn’t bring herself to make the first move, so she’d lied about having a stomachache.
She hadn’t expected her mother-in-law to insist on taking her to the hospital—how could she dare go?
She could only say she’d wait and see, claiming it didn’t hurt as much anymore and that she’d definitely go to the hospital if the pain got worse.
Ever since she decided she wanted a child, she had tampered with their birth control.
