Chapter Seventy: A Friend's Wife Must Not Be Deceived

  This question shocked me at once.

  Atian was about to explain when a voice came from beside him. "Atian! What are you doing here?"

  As we followed the sound, we saw that casual-looking Zuo Yu. A few sentences flashed through my mind. First sentence: How can the world be so small? Second sentence: This is too coincidental, like a melodramatic TV series! Third sentence: Can it get any more melodramatic than this?

  Since the last pregnancy incident was exposed at Grandpa's place, I have a feeling that nothing is to be feared. What's the worst that could happen? It can't get any worse than this, right? Anyway, no one will die from it. And there's also Su Haicheng. Last time, when I thought the sky was going to fall and the matter couldn't be covered up, Su Haicheng simply resolved it like that.

  I feel like I've been having bad luck lately, and I'm just so jinxed! Just as Xiao Shao was walking towards us, my phone rang. Seeing that it was Su Mama calling, I nervously picked up the phone. "Hello, Auntie."

  "Are you busy, Chen Siyi?"

  "Not busy, not busy." How can I say busy to her?

  "Not busy, then meet me at the Sunny Cafe on Zhongjing Avenue in an hour. I have a few words to say to you."

  "Yes, yes, yes." Every word Mom Su said to me was an order. My every nerve instinctively obeyed her.

  "What's wrong?" Ah Tian asked, looking at me.

  "Hai Cheng's mom is looking for me. She said to meet her at Yang Guang Coffee in an hour." My eyebrows furrowed, and I looked down at the clothes I was wearing today. It didn't seem like a problem before coming here, but if I'm going to see Su's mom, wearing jeans will definitely be criticized.

  Zuo walked up to us: "What a coincidence, Ah Tian. Chen Siyi is also here. You... Ah Tian, I know Haicheng and you are good buddies, but you don't have to..."

  A Tian tilted his head and said in a bad mood: "What do you want to say? How can you also come out for a walk? Aren't you still under house arrest?"

  "Hmm, how did I end up being so out of the loop. I took a month-long blind date leave and just came back to hear that Hai Cheng had an accident. My dad told me that Hai Cheng still has a child left behind. I didn't believe it at first, but then I went to find Chen Si the other day... Never mind, she didn't know me before anyway. It's all just misunderstandings. How about we sit down and talk for a bit?"

  My heart suddenly felt a chill. Shall we sit together? An hour later, we were indeed sitting together at the Sunny Coffee shop, at a small table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

  The sun cafe is because all around here are floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sunlight is very sufficient. And in this cold winter, basking in the sun is also very warm. The three of us plus Su's mother sat at a table together.

  Let's just forget about what happened after we left the Mother Health Center. There was no afterwards. Suddenly, these two people appeared out of nowhere and our original plan was disrupted.

  Next to the small table, I sat with Su's mother on one side, and across from us were those two men. Ah Tian's frivolity was vastly different from Su Shao's smooth composure. How did they become Su Haicheng's good brothers?

  Su's mom was wearing a police uniform and carrying a briefcase with a badge, she looked at me and said: "I'm here for a two-day meeting. Now that the news of you having our family's child is out, I had to come see you too. Chen Siyi, what are you wearing? Don't you think about the child?"

  Then came more than ten minutes of criticism. Anyway, even the beads on my hair tie were criticized. Not to mention those jeans. I was thinking in my heart, this is too tense, even if I really got pregnant, it's only three months, can't see anything at all.

  After more than ten minutes, after I repeatedly assured her that I would go buy maternity clothes and only wear them afterwards, she said: "Chen Siyi, I did say before that I only wanted the child and we wouldn't meet again. But now the situation has changed, you also need to know that although I still only want the child, your special nature is something I can no longer ignore. Since it's all out in the open now, you should also have some dignity. What's going on with those two?"

  I glanced up at Ah Tian and Zuo Shao. Just as Ah Tian was about to speak, Su Mama interrupted him: "Zuo Yu, you say!"

  "Director Huang," Zuo Shao, also a consultant, called people by their titles instead of "Auntie", "I coincidentally ran into Chen Siyi today. She and Ah Tian went to the Mother's Health Center together, I happened to be there visiting friends and bumped into them. Hearing that you were coming over, I followed along to say hello."

  I hung my head low, this Left Shao is trying to get me killed, speaking so unclearly and emphasizing that I'm with Ah Tian together.

  "Ah Tian!" Su's mom looked at Ah Tian opposite her, and Ah Tian immediately chuckled and said: "Auntie, listen to me. Actually, being alone on April Fool's Day is quite troublesome."

  "She's a pregnant woman, of course it's hard work. I gave her so much money just to hire a nanny to take care of herself. It's her own fault for not hiring a nanny, she deserves the hardship. What does this have to do with you? Are you the nanny she hired?"

  A Tian was choked and couldn't say a word. The aura, no wonder she could be the deputy director, that aura suppressed the three of us at once.

  She looked at me slowly: "Give me the address where you are living now, I will find a reliable service agency to arrange a nanny for you. In the future, if there is anything, you can discuss it with the nanny together. This kind of thing, taking my Su family's grandson, and also taking two men out for a stroll, should be done less often. I also know they are all brothers from Haicheng, but after all, our Haicheng is no longer here. In just a few months, you will give birth to the child, you can flirt with whoever you want, I don't have the leisure to care about that."

  These words are really hurtful, I bite my lip and don't let myself speak out loud, I'm afraid that if I say anything, I'll choke up.

  Atian was about to speak when Zuo Shao said: "Deputy Director Huang, your words are too severe. However, your reminder is also necessary. We will pay more attention to this in the future."

  Su's mother nodded at him, looking very satisfied. Then she turned to Ah Tian, and two seconds later she helplessly turned her face away. It seems that she didn't have much hope for Ah Tian either. She turned to me, took out a notebook and pen, and asked: "Tell me your detailed address."

  "Auntie, I think I'm still young this month and don't need to ask someone to take care of me yet."

  "She let out a cold snort: 'You're keeping your place of residence a secret from me? What's so special about it?'"

  Zuo Shao said with a worried tone: "Fourth Brother, I also think it's better for you to invite someone. Have you felt that recently, there is someone observing you?"

  "Oh?" Su's mother became alert, "What does Zuo Yu know?"

  "Just a guess. When I just came back, I went to look for her and saw that there was a man who seemed to be observing her."

  Her mother's face sank even further: "You'd better tell me your address, or I'll consider having you move in with me. Later on, if you're not happy, then I'm not happy either. What's the point?"

  "My address is not a secret, if you really want to investigate, go to school and ask two people, you can find out. I just doubt what position Zuo Shao is in. I still said my address, because this can't be hidden at all. Then watching Su's mother leave, followed by Zuo Shao also leaving. Before he left, he said with a sarcastic tone: "A Tian, a friend's wife cannot be deceived, let alone when she is pregnant."

  As soon as they left, I quickly called Su Haicheng with my mobile phone to inform him that Su's mother and Zuo Shao both knew the address of my place, so he should be prepared.

  Su Haicheng still looked the same, listening to me finish and just saying "uh-huh" without any expression.

  After hanging up the phone, Ah Tian drank the coffee in one gulp and asked: "Do you need to rest? If not, we can go back to that Mother's Health Center. Or would you rather call ahead and ask if Xueying is off work yet?"

  "I don't want to go, I'm in a bad mood, let's go again tomorrow." I banged my head on the table, "Ah! I hate it!"

  "Girl!" Ah Tian said, "I really don't know how Haicheng came to like you. With your personality, if you're not in the mood, you just won't do it. If you were a soldier, you'd be told to go run an 8-kilometer cross-country and then come back and ask if you have any mood. We are on a mission now, going to scout out Sakura Snow, and you tell me you're not in the mood."

  "I'm his woman, but I'm not his soldier!" I replied weakly, feeling like I didn't want to move a single muscle.
