The reason why Zhang Xiuying can satisfy Ji Xuewei is very simple. She has a soft temper and can take charge of everything, which makes Zhang Xiuying, who was oppressed by her mother-in-law for a lifetime, absolutely turn over and become the master! It's said that daughters-in-law will eventually become mothers-in-law themselves. Now she only needs to enjoy the flattery of being a daughter-in-law, and she doesn't need to worry about anything else.

  So, regarding the emotional issues between her son and daughter-in-law, Zhang Xiuying actually hoped that their relationship would be more ordinary, and it would be better if they treated each other with respect. If her son was too good to his daughter-in-law, he would inevitably let her get the upper hand, which wouldn't be good.

  Ji Xuewei handled this point very well, she always knew what Zhang Xiuxiu wanted, so in front of Zhang Xiuxiu, she never took the lead, and when there was a problem, she pretended not to understand on purpose, letting Zhang Xiuxiu take charge. As for whether her personality is soft or not, as long as this person thinks it's that way, then it is!

  "Didn't you come over last night too?" Zhang Xiuzhu asked casually.

  Ji Xuewei's pale face flushed with a few shades of red, and she nodded just right: "Come over after work, and don't leave until after we've had dinner together."

  Zhang Xiuzhen nodded in satisfaction: "After this incident, Zongzong also knows how to cherish you, it's a good thing... You take good care of yourself for now, there will be other chances to have children, don't be too sad, your body is the most important."

  Ji Xuewei nodded in agreement, and it wasn't until a little while later that Zhang Xiuxiu left with her bag. To say that always pretending to be well-behaved was indeed an exhausting thing, Ji Xuewei removed her fake mask, and on her slender face appeared several more hints of mockery and ridicule.

  But even if she was exhausted, her goal had been achieved. Ji Xiao Li would not be able to enter the Qin family smoothly, just as her mother-in-law had said. Old Lady Qin would not allow a woman without parents, who was coarse and ruthless, to enter the Qin family's gate, especially since this woman had caused the death of her great-grandson!

  Ji Xuewei let out a snort of laughter, her right hand rubbing her flat stomach, the corners of her lips curling up into a sly smile. She glanced at the time, it was only 10 o'clock in the morning, and she looked at the greasy chicken soup on the table with no appetite at all. She pressed the bell by the bed, and soon a young nurse walked in.

  Ji Xuewei ordered irritably: "Help me go outside to buy some food, still that store from yesterday, don't buy anything too greasy!" Seeing today's chicken soup, she felt like vomiting! The first time was because Zhang Xiuxiu stared at her, and she had no choice but to drink it down. If she had to drink it again, she would definitely collapse!

  The nurse, though dissatisfied with her tone, had accepted Ji Xuewei's money after all, and no matter how resentful she felt, it wasn't good to express it openly, so she just nodded and closed the door as she left.

  Ji Xuewei was bored and turned on the TV to watch for a while, then picked an apple from the fruit plate and ate it. She lazily yawned and lay down with her eyes half-closed when someone knocked on the door outside.

  Ji Xuewei, in order to deceive the Qin family, even if she wasn't ill, had to pretend to be sick and lie down in her sickbed. Feeling like she was going to suffocate, her temper became increasingly irritable. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she loudly asked: "Who is it?"

  Outside the door was a man's clear and cold voice: "Me."

  Is that Qin Zhong? How did he come here? For the past two days, he has been coming over after work for less than an hour and then leaving. Today is not a weekend, so why did he come so early?

  She felt something was strange in her heart, but she didn't think of anything, so she tidied up her clothes, leaned against the headboard and put on a thoughtful look. "Come in!"

  Qin Zong walked in and saw a woman with a worried face leaning against the headboard, seemingly lost in thought. He knew he shouldn't be suspicious, but subconsciously, he didn't believe that Ji Xiaoli would do such a thing! They had been together for almost four years, and he thought he understood her. She would even go out of her way to buy cat food and deliver it to a stray cat on the street every day; how could she possibly do something so cruel?

  He didn't believe it, but that's the fact, he had no choice but to believe! Now things seem to have another truth, he urgently wants to know everything!

  Qin Zong's heart was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he hoped that Ji Xiaoli was innocent and had nothing to do with this matter! But if that were the case, then the child would really not have existed, and he also didn't want all of this to be Ji Xuewei's scheme. After all, the two were already engaged, no matter what, he didn't hope that his wife was a woman with too many thoughts and too much depth.

  "Azhuang, why are you here so early today? Don't you have to go to work?" Ji Xuewei leaned against the edge of the bed, a hint of a gentle smile in her eyes.

  It all seemed fine, but Qin Zong sighed inwardly and forced a smile: "Work is important, but your body is even more so. Your mom keeps nagging me to spend more time with you, first because she's afraid you'll get depressed, and second because she hopes you can take care of your health."

  Ji Xuewei smiled somewhat sadly: "I'm fine... Mom has someone make chicken soup for me to drink every day, besides my body isn't that weak."

  Qin Zong nodded and let an old man who was just outside the door follow him in.

  "This is..." Ji Xuewei looked at the old man who followed, and the uneasy intuition in her heart became stronger and stronger.

  Qin Zong raised an eyebrow and looked at her, seemingly unimpressed, but with a deep meaning: "This is the old director of the Chinese medicine department, and he's a close friend of Father's. Mom said you need to take good care of your body, so I invited the old director to come and take your pulse, to see how you should be taken care of."

  It seems like there's nothing to this, but a miscarriage is indeed a big deal and can be very damaging to the body if not taken care of properly. However, the mistake lies in the fact that Ji Xuewei was never pregnant in the first place, so wouldn't taking her pulse just reveal the truth?

  Ji Xuewei, no matter how calm she was, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy at this point. Her expression was slightly flustered and the smile on her lips began to falter: "Azheng, I really don't have any health problems...and after resting for a few days, I've already recovered quite a bit..."

  Ji Xuewei didn't believe that Qin Zong had really found a traditional Chinese doctor to examine her body, the implication was already very clear. How could he possibly suspect himself out of the blue, and what was the problem in between?

  But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't come up with a solution, and now she was in a situation where she couldn't retreat. The old Chinese doctor stood by the bed, showing no signs of moving.

  Ji Xuewei couldn't laugh anymore, while Qin Zong said: "It's just because you've only rested for a few days that you need to pay more attention to your pulse. Don't worry, Old Jiang will take care of it."

  It's a matter of course, of course it will be done. An old ginger is still spicy, the old man opened a private clinic in Beijing and often diagnoses for the wealthy, involving many secrets of the wealthy families, so he is not surprised, at this time seeing Ji Xuewei still stunned there, unwilling to stretch out her hand, his hand has already taken the lead: "Mrs. Qin, please?"

  Ji Xuewei steeled herself and reached out her hand, having already thought of various ways to make amends, but they were all unworkable... She raised her eyes to look at the two people, her heart pounding rapidly.

  Before long, the old man spoke up and asked: "Has the young lady's health always been good?"

  Ji Xuewei thought for a moment and nodded her head. After all, she couldn't deny what she had just said with her own mouth.

  "That's it, Madam is perfectly fine! Not only is there no problem, but the so-called miscarriage earlier was also unfounded. Your body is not weak at all, on the contrary, it's even better than a normal person!" The old man smiled sarcastically.

  That smiling face was exceptionally piercing in Ji Xuewei's eyes, she shook her hand off and pointed at the old man with a burst of anger: "You're talking nonsense! Ah Zheng, you said this is a doctor, but I think he doesn't even know how to take a pulse! You all saw it that day, my child was lost because of my sister... Can taking a pulse now just erase everything about me being pregnant?! Ah Zheng, that's your child!"

  The old man smiled faintly and said nothing.

  Qin Zong actually had a bottom line in his heart, to say that the old man's pulse-taking skills were second only to Beijing, and if there was really someone who was first, he probably hadn't been born yet, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to find him!

  He wasn't entirely surprised by this result, but what he seemed to feel more was a sense of relief, as if a huge boulder in his heart had suddenly dropped to the ground.

  "Ji Xuewei, Old Jiang would never misdiagnose. Now there's only one possibility, that is, you were never pregnant!" Qin Zong's eyes had disappointment and a hint of inexplicable emotions, as he gazed at the woman lying on the bed with a sinister gaze.

  Ji Xuewei's emotions seemed to be out of control: "Why do you believe only his words, there are so many doctors in the hospital who can testify for me, and you all saw it that day, but you don't believe me! Qin Zong, you don't believe me!"

  "It's not that I don't believe you, but the facts are right in front of me, and I have no choice but to believe!" Qin Zong's tone was tinged with sarcasm and ridicule. With Old Jiang's words, he naturally believed that all this was just a trick to deceive his eyes.

  The obstetrician-gynecologist of the municipal hospital, Qin Zong, sneered in his heart. This woman's ability is not ordinary!

  Ji Xuewei wanted to retract her confession, but after the little nurse finished buying food, everything seemed to be settled again. There are many taboos for women who have had a miscarriage, and the doctor must know, so he can serve her and help her buy these things, naturally there is a plot.

  The old man's sharp eyes quickly spotted seafood fried rice, crab roe buns, stir-fried meat with two peppers... and so on.

  "Madam, if I'm not mistaken, these things shouldn't be eaten when one is ill, right? Hasn't the doctor here told you that spicy food can't be eaten and seafood is absolutely off-limits? I had no idea the doctors at the municipal hospital didn't even know this much common sense!" The old man said with a teasing expression.

  Qin Zhen gazed coldly at her, "Do you have anything else to say?"

  Ji Xuewei's expression was somewhat despondent, and she smiled bitterly, "What do you want me to say? You've already made up your mind that these are my mistakes. Now that you know the truth, are you relieved? Don't have to doubt Sister anymore? She's the good person, while I'm the woman with a deep heart."

  "Azhu, if I had to do it again, I wouldn't regret it! I know what I did was wrong! But what choice did I have? I love you! And I'm also afraid that if I didn't do this, I would be completely surpassed by her. If I hadn't faked the pregnancy, you would never even think of getting engaged to me... I know you still miss her in your heart, and no matter what I do, I can never replace her position! Azhu, I had no choice, I could only do this, all because I love you..." As she spoke, tears began to flow.

  The old man had unknowingly withdrawn from the ward, leaving only two people in the ward.

  Qin Zong's expression was somewhat tired, he rubbed his brow, somewhat helplessly: "But doing it this way will eventually be discovered! Ji Xuewei, emotions aren't something to be used for exploitation. I said I would marry you and won't wrong you, there's no need for you to do this..."

  Ji Xuewei climbed down from the bed, her hands wrapped around his waist from behind. "Azheng, forgive me just this once... I promise I won't do it again, Azheng, I was possessed by a demon this time, but I definitely won't be like that again... It's my fault for being jealous of my sister's beauty, I'm afraid you'll abandon me..."

  If it's said that many men are soft-hearted, then Ji Xuewei has indeed used the right trick. Qin Zong knew the truth, and he even thought about canceling the engagement, but now, he seems to be hesitating.

  "Let go first, I need to think about how to deal with this matter..." He indeed hasn't thought it through yet, but things can't just end like this.

  Ji Xuewei's face turned red with anxiety, and a few hot tears rolled down. "Azheng, I know you're angry! You can hit me or scold me, I won't complain at all. I just hope you don't let your mom know, if she finds out that the child was just an excuse, it will be too hard for her to bear... Azheng, we'll have more children in the future, so just forget about this..."

  She certainly didn't want Zhang Xiuxiu to know. Once she knew, she might really be finished! Zhang Xiuxiu might not have a good impression of her again...
