Huo Mian didn’t know how to answer Chen Jie’s question.

Yeah. Will she go back to be a doctor?

His heart aching for his wife, Qin Chu put a hand on her shoulder.

“After the baby is born, Mian can go back to the hospital if she wants to keep working. If she can’t return to South Side, she can work in the First Hospital; if she can’t go to the First Hospital, we can open a private hospital for her.”

Huo Mian: “…”

Chen Jie: “…”

“Ha. My brother-in-law is indeed grand.” Ni Yang laughed, lightening the mood.

Huo Mian looked at Mr. Qin with happiness on her face and was almost moved to tears by the love exuding from her overbearing husband.

Opening her own private hospital! Why didn’t she think of that?

Then the four of them went to have lunch.

In the afternoon, Shen Mingxi was summoned to the old house for interrogation. The seniors of the family were furious about the scandal and wanted to demand answers from him.

After coming back from abroad, Tiantian hadn’t gone to school with the excuse that she didn’t feel well. She had been resting in Shen Mingxi’s house.

When Huo Yanyan came to the house again, the housemaid didn’t dare to say anything.

“You go out and buy groceries.” Tiantian looked at the housemaid coldly.

“Miss Tiantian, can you manage it all by yourself?”

“I’ll be fine. She’s my mother and won’t do anything to me.”

Tiantian was very calm and didn’t look like a six-year-old kid.

Seeing the gangsters with tattoos standing behind Huo Yanyan, the housemaid didn’t dare to say anything; she fled with a grocery bag.

Tiantian glanced at Huo Yanyan and said, “Make them wait outside. I want to talk to you.”

“You guys wait for me outside.”

Huo Yanyan sent the brawny guys out of the door.

Only Tiantian and her mother Huo Yanyan were left in the big house.

“Tiantian…” Huo Yanyan began but Tiantian raised her hand to stop her.

Then she took out her cellphone and activated something.

After three beeps, Tiantian said, “Okay. You can speak now.”

“What did you do?” Huo Yanyan was puzzled.

“I just checked if he planted bugs in the house.”

Tiantian referred to Shen Mingxi.

“That’s impossible.” Huo Yanyan looked incredulous.

“Of course it’s possible. When I was in Singapore, many of the neighbors planted bugs in their houses. But I’m smart and bought an anti-surveillance device on my cellphone.”

“Does… Shen Mingxi know about it?”

“Are you stupid? How can I let him know? I bought it because I was afraid that he’d monitor me.” Tiantian looked at Huo Yanyan mockingly.

“Are you still my… daughter?”

Huo Yanyan thought the girl was cold to her last time because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. She intended to have a long talk with her daughter and be nicer to her. But the girl seemed… very different from before.

“Of course not. Who’d like to have you as a mother.” Tiantian sneered.

“Tiantian, I know you hate me. I did wrong when I was in the psychiatric center… But at that time I wasn’t myself.”

Huo Yanyan thought her daughter hated her for what happened in the psychiatric center and tried to explain.

“Don’t try to make me pity you. Huo Yanyan… I’m no longer a child you can manipulate at your will… If you want to die, go ahead, but don’t bring me with you. I don’t want to die yet.”

“What bullshit are you talking about? Do you know whom you’re talking to?”

Huo Yanyan was furious at Tiantian’s disrespectful words.
