Chapter 1140 - 1140 1140 The Childs Spleen and Stomach

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: The Child’s Spleen and Stomach Issues Flared Up Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: The Child’s Spleen and Stomach Issues Flared Up She felt an inexplicable bitterness rising within her, but Qiao Yin quickly suppressed it.

Lu Mingzhen had already called everyone to the dining room for the meal. Standing up, she stepped into her slender heels and followed Gu Jing slowly toward the front.

Sometimes, she found Gu Jing quite annoying, but at other times, it was actually good to have him standing by her side, as it directly prevented her from interacting with Lu Lingche.

Even if Lingche wanted to come over now, Gu Jing would deliberately block him, making it impossible for him to even exchange a word with her.

The Lu Family’s dining table was a rectangular marble one, with both families originally seated on opposite sides, but to encourage Lingche to interact more with Gu Ranxuan, Lu Mingzhen went out of his way to have Ranxuan sit next to Lingche.

Gu Ranmo watched her eldest sister sit with Lingche and looked at Qiao Yin with smugness, whispering, “Don’t bother wasting your effort; no matter how you flirt with the Lu family’s young masters, it’s futile. Lingche belongs to my eldest sister, and Sheng Qing already has a child. You wouldn’t want to be a stepmother to his child, would you?”

Qiao Yin looked at her in surprise, “Second Sister, could it be that you have designs on the Eldest Young Master? You’ve been clinging to him all evening. The person who wants to be a stepmother to his child—I think it’s you, isn’t it? Rest assured, I won’t compete with you, but it’s a pity for Dongfang Qi. You’ve gotten over him so quickly, I wonder if he would be heartbroken.”

“What nonsense are you spouting!”

Gu Ranmo’s face turned pale with anger, “I haven’t set my sights on him! If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll dump this soup on your head!”

With full confidence, Qiao Yin picked up her soup bowl, “Come on, let’s see who has better aim.”

Gu Ranmo watched the soup nearly being thrown at her, her face turning fearful. She hadn’t even made a move, and Qiao Yin was actually about to splash her!

She had only intended to scare Qiao Yin, never expecting her to actually take serious action!

Gu Ranmo was both angry and inexplicably afraid of Qiao Yin’s crazed behavior. She knew deep down that intimidating Qiao Yin was totally useless; she wouldn’t gain any advantage. If she dared to splash Qiao Yin, Qiao Yin would undoubtedly retaliate without a word.

Gu Ranxuan clenched her teeth, struggling to suppress her anger.

She couldn’t understand why Qiao Yin seemed to have no concerns at all. Even in front of Grandpa, she showed no restraint, deliberately scooping fish back onto her plate, causing her significant embarrassment.

Now at the Lu’s, she was still without any reservations, not caring at all about her image.

But Qiao Yin didn’t care about her image, while she did. She didn’t want to embarrass herself at the Lu’s, leaving a bad impression on the Lu elders.

She dared not provoke Qiao Yin any further and turned her head to start a conversation with Gu Jing.

Having settled Gu Ranmo, who finally behaved herself, Qiao Yin could finally eat in peace. Although there were occasional glances from across the table, she pretended not to notice, eating her food unhurriedly without shortchanging herself.

After dinner, everyone returned to the living room to drink tea and chat, with the servants bringing in exquisite desserts for after the meal.

The atmosphere, with both families’ deliberate efforts, became especially harmonious.

But suddenly, a nanny hurried down from upstairs and after speaking a few words to Madam Lu, Madam Lu’s face immediately changed. She instinctively looked at Qiao Yin.

Qiao Yin knew why she was being looked at—it must have been the child’s stomach issue acting up.

To her surprise, however, Madam Lu quickly pretended nothing was amiss and sent the nanny back.

Moments later, the sharp cries of a child came from upstairs.

Lu Mingzhen and Lu Shengqing both looked at Madam Lu, “What’s wrong with the child?”

Madam Lu hurriedly said, “It’s nothing, nothing, he’s probably hungry. The child cries whenever he’s hungry.”

Lu Mingzhen frowned slightly, “Didn’t we just feed him? Why is he hungry again?”

“I’ll go upstairs to check on him.”

Madam Lu said to Hou Jinhua, “Madam Gu, please excuse me for a moment, I’ll go see to the child.”

After saying this, she rushed upstairs, but the child’s cries did not stop. Everyone in the living room knew that there had to be a problem with the child, otherwise, he wouldn’t cry so desperately.

Lu Shengqing quickly became restless, and he too went upstairs.

Soon after, he came down carrying the child, whose cries had weakened by then. However, everyone could see that the child’s face had turned somewhat pale, as if he was struggling more to inhale than exhale.
