625 The Secret About the Past 243 (1/2)
Mo Li sat quietly by the bedside, a pregnancy test stick in her hand.
The two red lines on it revealed that she had already hit the jackpot.
However, she remained expressionless and did not look happy at all.
On the contrary, she felt somewhat afraid.
Afraid of what, she had no idea either.
Knock, knock, knock. A few knocks sounded on the bedroom door, followed by the voice of a maid, ”Young Madam, Madam is downstairs and calling for you.”
”Alright.”
Mo Li threw the thing in her hand into the rubbish bin, then straightened her clothes before going down to see Mrs. Ye.
She was sitting on the sofa, scrutinizing Mo Li with a swift and fierce gaze when she came down. She cut straight to the chase and asked impatiently, ”How long has it been already, is there anything happening in your stomach?”
”I'm pregnant,” she replied matter-of-factly.
Mrs. Ye's face lit up in happiness. ”Why didn't you tell me?”
”I just found out. My dearest Mother-in-law, may I know if you have any other instructions?”
”Go to the hospital to do a test.”
”I know,” Mo Li answered lazily.
After receiving this great news, Mrs. Ye's attitude changed completely. ”Tell me the results after you've gotten checked. If everything's well, rest well at home. I'm sure this time around, the child will be a boy.”
Mo Li did not answer. As she watched a delighted Mrs. Ye leave, she could feel her heart growing heavy instead.
She went to the hospital to check, and it was confirmed that she was more than one month pregnant.
After doing a checkup at the hospital, she walked all the way to her parents' breakfast shop.
Seeing her there, Mrs. Mo immediately asked, ”Lili, where have you just been to?”
”I just went to the hospital. Mother, I'm pregnant.”
Noticing that she was not happy with the news, Mrs. Mo dragged her into the house and poured a cup of tea for her. ”Since you're pregnant, don't think too much about other things. Give birth to the child and raise it properly. For all you know, this child might be a boy.”
”Mother, I feel uneasy inside.” Mo Li revealed her innermost thoughts to her mother. ”The moment I think of the price I have to pay for changing my fate to get a son, I feel afraid.”
Mrs. Mo understood how upset she was and consoled her, ”Why don't you call that Ms. An? Isn't she very accurate at reading such things? You should hear what she has to say.”
Mo Li agreed and responded, ”We were quite close in the past. But later on, because Xiaotian and Qingyan's companies became rivals, I didn't even greet her when I saw her. But I did call to apologize to her recently.”
”You…” Mrs. Mo gently advised her, ”Don't interfere in matters between men. No matter what, she saved you before, how can you not talk to her when you see her? Lili, I really think this Ms. An is a nice person. You have no relation to her whatsoever, but she still helped you back then. Don't ever do this again in the future.”
”I know.”
Mo Li fished out her phone to call An Xiaoning. Upon knowing that she was at the Gu residence, Mo Li's face lit up, and she wanted to find her immediately.
Mrs. Mo wanted to accompany her, but she insisted that it wasn't needed and took a taxi there by herself.
An Xiaoning had finished her breakfast and was lying on a chair in the courtyard to get some sunlight. She had wanted to rest properly for a few days since she had labored so tirelessly at the Autumn Palace for so long and was utterly exhausted.
