Chapter 802: Chapter 802: The Best Actress Comes Online

Chen Lijun’s complexion was ashen as Fan Huang supported her getting out of the car.

Both were supposed to be at work when Chen Lijun suddenly suffered severe morning sickness and felt unwell.

Her secretary had long been bought over by Fan Huang and was one of the few who knew about Chen Lijun’s pregnancy. Upon seeing the pregnant ’goddess’ feeling uncomfortable, she immediately informed Fan Huang at light speed.

Fan Huang dropped all his work on the spot, rushed to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and found nothing wrong—he couldn’t even get a prescription for prenatal medications. The doctor’s original words were, "The fetal qi is very stable. What medicine do you need?"

Chen Lijun felt much better after throwing up and wanted to go back to work, but Fan Huang forcibly took her home.

Chen Lijun complained the whole way, and even seeing Fan Huang’s mother’s car following them didn’t stop her ranting. After getting out of the car, she stood there, still grumbling at Fan Huang.

"I’ve been following up on my work for four months now, at this critical moment. If you make me leave now, what if the people beneath me can’t handle it properly?"

"I’ll find someone to take over your work, it won’t be a problem—and besides, can the project you’ve been on for four months be more important than this ’big project’ I’ve been waiting over forty years to see?"

Fan Huang’s hand rested on her stomach. Chen Lijun was vain; her belly was starting to show, so she chose high-waisted babydoll outfits and attempted to wear chunky sandals, all of which Fan Huang silently threw away, replacing them with safe flats.

"You and Suizi must have teamed up to torment me! I’m just pregnant; I haven’t killed you two with exhaustion!" Chen Lijun didn’t keep on grumbling because she saw Fan Huang’s mother getting out of the car.

"Mom," Fan Huang pretended not to see his mother’s ashen face, as if nothing was wrong, and greeted her.

"Don’t call me mom! I don’t have a son like you!" Fan Huang’s mother started scolding as soon as she got out of the car.

She didn’t want to come back either, after such a big blunder, she wanted to keep hiding for a while longer.

But she had no choice but to return, as Yu Jingting and his wife had nearly made enemies with all her maternal family.

Not only had they duped the Mei Family out of money economically, by tricking them into opening a roller skating rink that resulted in a huge loss, but they also somehow dug up dirt on the Mei Family and attacked them one by one.

The Mei Family had fallen on hard times recently. Those who lost their jobs lost their jobs, students caught cheating in school, all sorts of scandals mixed together, forced Fan Huang’s mother to be coerced back from out of town to take control of the situation.

What Fan Huang’s mother didn’t know was that she thought her return would force her son to come forward and smooth everything over, but in fact, all of this was secretly orchestrated by Fan Huang through Yu Jingting.

By this point, Fan Huang’s mother no longer had any bargaining chips to negotiate with her son, only she didn’t seem to realize it and still tried to use family affection to press Fan Huang.

"Just for this woman, you don’t even want your own mother? What kind of magic does she have that makes you so obsessed? Past her prime— and now she’s even putting on weight?"

Fan Huang’s mother’s gaze fell on Chen Lijun’s stomach, always feeling that this vixen had grown more voluptuous than before.

Fan Huang’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He quickly looked at Chen Lijun, whose face darkened instantly, and Fan Huang could only curse his grandmother’s tactless mouth in his mind.

Of all things to say, she had to say that Comrade Xiaochen had put on weight.

Xiaochen was vain and very conscious about her figure, yet during pregnancy, she needed plenty of nutrition. Suizi and he tried everything to coax Xiaochen into eating more and maintaining proper nutrition, father and daughter joining forces, resorting to all thirty-six stratagems. It took a lot of effort to ensure Xiaochen got the nutrition she needed.

Fan Huang really worried that Chen Lijun would restrict her diet after his mother’s comments.

"Mom, Lijun isn’t getting fat, but as for you, you’ve gotten much darker and more wrinkled, haven’t you? Did you get age spots on your face? How have they been taking care of you?"

Suizi arrived just in time to hear her dad’s barrage of crazy retorts and nearly laughed out loud.

Had Yu Tiegen taught her dad these verbal artillery skills, or did he always possess them, just hidden deep within?

Even though Fan’s mother was an elderly lady, she considered herself to be a person of refinement, particularly conscientious about appearances, indeed a vain old woman.

Being bombarded by her son’s verbal tirade had left her dizzy and speechless, mouth agape with no words coming out.

Seizing the opportunity, while her dad was engaging the enemy and her mom’s spirit was wandering into the ether, Suizi suddenly raised her voice, catching them off guard with a cry:

"Ah, what are you going to do to my mom?!"

With that, she spread her hands nobly and stood in front of Chen Lijun.

Fan’s mother and Chen Lijun were standing face to face, not even a meter apart.

When Suizi suddenly squeezed in, neither Fan’s mother nor Chen Lijun had recovered their wits. Suizi leaned forward, controlling her sense of balance, and swayed in the direction of the old lady, making it look from Fan Huang’s angle as if Fan’s mother had pushed Suizi.

"Grandma, even if you don’t like my mom, you can’t get physical with her!"

"...???" Three big question marks appeared on Fan’s mother’s face. Had this child gone mad?

She hadn’t laid a hand on anyone; she was merely glaring at Chen Lijun. Could her eyes shoot out shock waves, had she developed telekinesis or something?

"What on earth are you babbling about, you crazy girl?" Fan’s mother stepped forward and instinctively reached for Suizi’s arm.

As soon as her hand touched Suizi’s arm, Suizi’s body slumped to the ground, strategically sitting down near a pile of chicken droppings, letting the handkerchief hidden in her pocket "accidentally" fall out.

Thanks to the neighbor’s roaming chicken, which provided fresh droppings, Suizi perfectly executed a ’porcelain-bumping’ scam.

"Ah! My mom’s scarf! My heavens, this is my mom’s favorite scarf!" Suizi covered her mouth, looking at Fan’s mother with a pained expression.

"Oh my..." Wang Cuihua came over and saw the scene, her mouth agape in disbelief.

This was a behavior befitting Yu Tiegen, wasn’t it?

"Pfft, hahaha." Yu Shuisheng, who came out upon hearing the noise, couldn’t hold back and laughed.

Wang Cuihua pinched him discreetly in the lower back, tightening up! Wasn’t this supposed to be a laugh without giving the game away?

She had been looking forward to eating the delicious spicy crab from her daughter-in-law; eating someone’s food meant owing them a favor, shouldn’t she play along with the act until the end?

Fan Huang was only startled for a moment, and even didn’t have time to ponder why his daughter was carrying her mother-in-law’s out-of-season scarf around, nor did he think it was strange for the scarf to emerge at such a moment. He saw his daughter fall and hurried to help her up.

"Are you sick, girl? I didn’t even touch you—"

"Grandma! Grandma!" Suizi advanced in excitement, embracing the old woman in her arms.

Taking the opportunity to rub the scarf stained with chicken droppings on the old woman’s clothes.

"Even if you don’t like my mom, you can’t bully her at this time, you asked my mom to get the birth permit, and she got it!" Suizi played the part of the grievously wronged with the utmost flair, refusing to let go of the old woman.

The acting was all too obvious, and in order not to expose herself in front of her mother, she stubbornly refused to face her parents.

Suizi had intentionally mentioned the birth permit in front of Fan’s mother, also serving as an indirect reminder to Fan’s mother, and at the same time, diverting her attention.

Indeed, Fan’s mother followed Suizi’s train of thought and suddenly recalled the matter of the birth permit.
