Chapter 355 Tang Cao is Scared to be SillyTang Cao runs home hurriedly. He shouts as soon as he enters the house, âSister! Whatâs the matter? Are you going to divorce my brother-in-law?â
ââ¦Why? Do you really want us to divorce?â Tang Duo walks out of the kitchen and rolls her eyes toward him, âIf you have guts, you can say that when Lang Ruoxian is at home.â
âI canât do so.â Tang Cao shamelessly leans in, âHow can I offend Brother Ruoxian who grasps the economic lifeline?â
Tang Duo laughs at him, âYou are just loquacious! After hearing what I say, I will see whether you will still be loquacious.â
âThen you go ahead!â Tang Cao slumps on the sofa.
Tang Duo kicks him, âFollow me to go upstairs.â
âWhat is it on earth?â Tang Cao is even more curious, âAnd you hide it from Mom and them.â
Tang Duo ignores him. They go to the babyâs room to see the sleeping twins first, and then they go to the balcony on the second floor.
âTang Caoâ¦â Her voice lets Tang Cao quiver.
âSister, please speak quickly. Stop beating about the bush.â
Tang Duo says, âNing Lingshan is pregnant. Do you know?â
âWhat?â Tang Cao is stunned, and then he asks with a surprised expression, âIt is not a big deal that she is pregnant, but when did she have a boyfriendâ¦â
Seeing that he has not yet understood the situation, Tang Duo tells him directly that Ning Lingshan had no boyfriend. The only man she contacted in the past two months is Tang Cao.
ââ¦Sister, what do you mean?â Tang Cao finally finds out something is wrong. The pupils grow bigger and bigger, and his eyeballs almost fly out, âDo you suspect that the baby is mine?â
Tang Duo gives him an expression that he finally understands.
âHow can it be possible?â Tang Cao jumps a few times like a startled rabbit, âI said that we were all drunk that day at the hotel and nothing happened. When we woke up in the morning, our clothes were neatly put on. And when I woke up, I still slept on the carpet.â
âAre you sure that you remember what happened when you were drunk?â
Tang Cao is speechless.
âI should⦠Should rememberâ¦â He is somewhat unsure.
When Tong Yue played with them before, he dealt with the aftermath of drunkenness each time and threw Tang Cao and Chen Xiaopang into the hotel. The two would snore loudly in their sleep through the night. Later, in the years when Tang Duo disappeared, Tang Cao seldom drank, let alone got drunk.
After Tang Duo came back, he and Chen Xiaopang began to live a dissolute and free life again. Tong Yue basically did not play with them because he had Su Tian. Both of them were more restrained and would not get too drunk like dead dogs. There was always one person who was soberer and dealt with the aftermath. Of course, it was usually Tang Cao.
âIâll ask Tong Yue.â Tang Cao is in a cold sweat and calls Tong Yue immediately.
When he asks what his reaction was when he was drunk, Tong Yue says flatly.
âSleep. You are much cuter at that time than when you are awake.â
Tang Cao says, ââ¦Had I done something else? Then when I woke up from alcohol and forgot?â
âNo.â Tong Yue says slowly, âBut you really didnât remember what had happened after you woke up from alcohol. Several times you even hugged Xiaopang to sleep. It was I that separated you two.â
Tang Cao is speechless.
Since the phone uses hands-free, Tang Duo hears all about it. Tang Cao is so scared that he is unconscious. Tang Duo explains to Tong Yue and hangs up, âWake up. Itâs not time to faint.â
âThat night, did I reallyâ¦â Tang Cao frantically pulls his hair and turns several times on the spot, and then he feels something wrong.
âNo!â He opens his mouth, âIf something really happened, how could we wake up the next day and find everything in order? Also, if I didnât know it, it was OK. But Ning Lingshan should have known what had happened to her bodyâ¦â
Tang Duo rolls her eyes, âWhat if she volunteered or even took the initiative?â
ââ¦F**k!â Tang Cao is shocked and jumps a few more times, âSo she had been coveting my body, and then deliberately got drunk with me.â
âWhat is the value to covet your body?â Tang Duo says grumpily, âIf this is true, what she covets is your identity as the Second Childe in Tang Family.â
There is a silence of moment between the sister and the brother. They look at each other and donât know what to say.
After a long time, Tang Cao cries loudly, âIf this is true, then⦠What shall I do? It is impossible for me to marry her, for I like Fang Diandian.â
âNonsense!â Tang Duo hits him, âStop crying. Of course you canât marry her. What did she think of our family? There are many girls who want to marry into a rich family by this means. How many successful ones have you seen?â
Tang Cao thinks, but there is few. He feels more confident, âThen what should I do now, sisterâ¦â
âLetâs make sure one thing whether the child is yours or not.â Tang Duo repeats what Lang Ruoxian told her this morning, âIf so, make sure of her purpose.â
âDidnât you say that her purpose was to marry me?â
âNot to marry you but to marry into our family.â Tang Duo looks at him, âNot necessarily. What if she just wants money and wants a lot of money from us by using her child as trading goods?â
Generally, women who want to design this mostly aim at the latter. Because they know in their hearts that rich families are not so easy to marry into. Isnât it better to exchange a child for money that can be spent for a few lifetimes?
âThe question now is, no matter what she wants, if the child is really yours, our family canât disown. But how can you explain it to Diandian? Do you think that she will still like you if she knows that you have a child with another woman?â
Tang Caoâs face turns pale. Is his love going to be ended before it starts?
âDiandian is not that kind of person.â Tang Duo gives him another blow, âYou donât think that you can take any chances. You think you love her and just let the child stay. Diandianâs parents wonât let their daughter to be a stepmother. Diandianâs parents donât think our family to be uncommon.â
They have known Fang Diandian for so long. Fang Familyâs attitude has been very clear. They have never taken the initiative to build the connections with their family. Tang Duo believes that Fang Diandianâs parents are even unwilling to marry Diandian to Tang Cao. They prefer to choose a suitable match for their daughter so that she will not be bullied later.
âThen we mustnât let Diandian know that!â Tang Cao looks like being in a state of utter stupefaction, âIf this canât work, Iâll ask someone to lock up Ning Lingshan.â
Tang Duo sees that he becomes silly and shakes her head, âAre you going to lock her up forever? Besides, there is a child involved. If Mom knows, it is impossible for her to disown the child.â
The old people in the family will disown Ning Lingshan, but they cannot disown the child of Tang Family.
âDonât panic first.â Tang Duo feels if she doesnât say anything, Tang Cao will be scared to death, âWe have said so much, but if we are wrong, and the child is not yoursâ¦â
Tang Cao looks at her with red-rimmed eyes. Tang Duo canât say any more. Obviously, both of them think Ning Lingshan is probably pregnant with Tang Caoâs child.
Fang Diandian parks the car, âDonât be frightened. Iâll accompany you in later.â
âDiandianâ¦â Ning Lingshan looks worried, âYou say, will I be fine?â
âDonât frighten yourself.â Fang Diandian helps her out of the car, âDidnât you say that you hadnât had a good rest recently? Maybe it has something to do with this.â
Ning Lingshan meets her today to ask about the situation of newly recruited nurses in her universityâs infirmary. Ning Lingshan sees it online and wants to come to have a try. It is just about dinner time, so Fang Diandian finds a small but clean and beautiful restaurant near the university, preparing to chat while eating.
But Ning Lingshan vomits soon after the first dish is served. Fang Diandian is startled to almost think that there is something wrong with the dish. Later Ning Lingshan canât stop vomiting. Both of them feel serious, so she drives directly to the hospital.
âWhich department should you make a registration?â The two girls stand in the registration office and hesitate.
Ning Lingshan thinks, âThe Gastroenterology Department?â
âIt should be.â So they go to make a registration in the Gastroenterology Department and make a reservation with the expert clinic.
Fang Diandian has brought Ning Lingshan to a private hospital. Although it is a little expensive, they can see the doctor immediately. If they go to a public hospital, they canât even make a registration.
The expert presses on Ning Lingshanâs belly for a long time and asks her if here hurts or there hurts. Ning Lingshan says that nowhere hurts and asks the reason for vomiting. The doctor ponders for a few seconds.
âI suggest you go to the gynecology department.â He stares at Ning Lingshanâs belly and says, âHave an ultrasound examination.â
Both girls are stunned.
âDoctor⦠What do you mean?â Fang Diandian asks.
The doctor smiles, âThis lady may be pregnant.â
Tang Duo and Tang Cao, whispering upstairs for a long time, which arouses Bai Susuâs suspicion. She goes upstairs to see what they are doing. As soon as she comes up, she sees Lulu come out of the twinsâ room and bark at her.
âDo Anâan and Lele wake up?â Bai Susu changes direction and enters the babyâs room.
Tang Duo and Tang Cao just come out and get startled to see the back of their mother. Tang Cao sneaks downstairs stealthily.
âSister, donât forget to let Brother Ruoxian investigate quickly!â When he leaves, Tang Cao repeats this again.
Tang Duo makes a gesture of reassurance, âYou donât forget, either. If Ning Lingshan doesnât take the initiative to say it, you will pretend as if you donât know anything. Remember?â
âI remember! I remember!â
Hospital.
Fang Diandian looks trance, sitting in a chair. Ning Lingshan is having the ultrasound examination inside. Fang Diandian feels uneasy at the thought of the doctorâs suspicion, but doesnât know why.
Just now when the doctor said that Ning Lingshan might be pregnant, Ning Lingshanâs expression was very strange. It was not like a happy surprise but like a shock. After Ning Lingshan came out, Fang Diandian quietly asked if Ning Lingshan had a boyfriend. Ning Lingshanâs reaction was stranger.
âNo⦠No!â Ning Lingshan was very nervous. She squeezed out a smile and said, âI have few male friends. So I donât have a boyfriend. The doctor must have made a mistake. I⦠I donât need to have the ultrasound examination. I canât be pregnant. Letâs leave!â
It was Fang Diandian who insisted and took the initiative to pay the fees. Ning Lingshan went in and checked in fear.
A few minutes later, the nurse sends Ning Lingshan out.
âIt is just 30 days old. You should pay attention. If you have severe pregnancy vomiting, come to see the doctor again.â
Fang Diandian looks at Ning Lingshan, but Ning Lingshan evades Fang Diandianâs eyes and lowers her head.
âAre you really pregnant?â Fang Diandian asks.
The young nurse doesnât know the situation and rushes to say, âOf course. Four-dimensional color ultrasound canât be wrong. There! Sheâs got the lab report in her hands.â
âLingshanâ¦â Fang Diandian wants to say something but thinks that this is not the proper place, âLetâs go.â She stretches out her hands to hold Ning Lingshan, eyes sweeping the lab report in Ning Lingshanâs hands.
