Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 68: Green Tea’s Fake Fall Draws the Whole Yard? I Hold My Pregnant Belly!
She and Sister in law Qian hurried over, grabbing Zhao Xuerou who was lying on the ground.
"Oh my God! Her knee is bleeding!" Sister in law Qian’s voice was sharp enough to pierce the ear, like she wanted the whole academy to hear.
Zhao Xuerou was helped up half way, but she did not look at her own wound.
She raised her head, her tear-filled eyes staring straight at Lin Wanyi.
"Sister..."
Her voice was trembling severely, full of grievances.
"I... I just wanted to come over and say hello..."
"I know you might... might have some misunderstanding with me..."
"But I really meant no harm..."
As she spoke, large tears rolled down her face.
"Why... why did you push me?"
The military wives who had been attracted by the noise gasped.
They only saw Zhao Xuerou walk over and then fall.
Now hearing her say this, everyone’s gaze shot towards Lin Wanyi like knives.
Sister in law Qian immediately stood up, pointing at Lin Wanyi’s nose.
"Lin Wanyi! You are being too much!"
"Mr. Zhao came over with good intentions to see you, how could you push someone?"
"As a pregnant woman, how can you be so cruel-hearted!"
Li pretended to pull Sister in law Qian’s arm, her voice not too loud or quiet, just enough for everyone to hear.
"Oh, forget it, forget it, she is the wife of the commander, we can’t afford to offend her."
Sister in law Qian flung her hand away, pointing towards Lin Wanyi’s deck chair, her voice sharp enough to cut through a person’s eardrums.
"Just because she’s the commander’s wife? Does being pregnant give her the right to push people around?"
She spit towards the ground, her face full of bitterness.
"I think Mr. Zhao is the real victim, her kindness fed to the dogs!"
"These capitalist ladies have hearts as black as coal! Mr. Gu must have been bewitched by that vixen’s face!"
The accusing voices, the discussions, like a tightly woven net, surrounded Lin Wanyi.
She sat on the deck chair, unmoved.
She looked at Zhao Xuerou on the ground, crying like a pear blossom caught in the rain, and at the slight curve at the corner of her mouth that she hadn’t managed to hide.
She also looked at the crowd around her, filled with righteous indignation.
As everyone thought she would panic, argue, or jump up to curse.
Lin Wanyi’s face suddenly turned pale.
Her hand, abruptly pressed on her protruding belly.
"Hmm..."
A suppressed, extremely painful moan escaped from her mouth.
Lin Wanyi tightly furrowed her brow.
She bent down, a fine layer of sweat instantly appearing on her forehead.
"My belly..."
Her lips started trembling, her voice as light as a feather, yet sharply penetrating everyone’s ears.
"It hurts..."
"Oh... my belly hurts so much..."
She seemed to want to sit up straight but was pulled back by a wave of sharp pain, curling into the deck chair.
The buzzing accusatory voices in the yard abruptly stopped.
Everyone’s gaze shifted from the "pitiful" Zhao Xuerou on the ground to the "agonizing" Lin Wanyi on the deck chair.
Sister in law Qian’s mouth was still open, unable to utter a word.
Li’s face of schadenfreude also froze.
Pushing someone is a matter of conduct, a matter of character.
But causing the commander’s wife to miscarry the baby...
If something happens to those gold-nugget twins cherished by the entire military district...
That’s not a conduct problem.
That’s a big deal!
It’s a matter of life and death!
"Sister? You... what’s wrong?"
A young military wife nearby asked tremulously.
"Could it be... could it be a miscarriage?"
Lin Wanyi paid her no heed, supporting herself on the deck chair with one hand, protecting her belly tightly with the other, her mouth letting out intermittent moans.
"Baby... don’t be afraid... don’t be afraid..."
"It’s mommy’s fault... mommy didn’t protect you well..."
Her voice was tearful, desperate, and helpless.
"Quick! Quick, call Dean Wu!" Someone finally responded, screaming.
"Go to the health team! No! Go directly to the General Hospital of the Military District!"
"Oh heavens! Nothing must happen! They are twins!"
The scene descended into chaos.
The buzzing accusatory voices in the yard stopped abruptly after Lin Wanyi’s painful moan.
The military wives who were indignant just moments ago stared fixedly at her curled-up body and hands protecting her belly, faces drained of color as if choked by the neck.
Sister in law Qian shrank back in fright, trying to hide herself in the crowd, her voice trembling.
"No... it’s not my fault! She has a weak constitution herself!"
Li reacted quicker, as if shaking off something dirty, abruptly pushing Zhao Xuerou away.
Zhao Xuerou was pushed back, stumbling heavily to the ground.
Li, panicked and flustered, waved her hands repeatedly.
"Yes! We didn’t see anything! We were just passing by!"
Someone in the crowd quickly reacted, pointing at them, screaming.
"It’s you! It’s you who just now called her a vixen! It’s you who made her this way!"
Zhao Xuerou, knocked to the ground, lay on the cold surface, thoroughly dumbfounded.
The script wasn’t supposed to play out this way.
Shouldn’t Lin Wanyi be furious or pale-faced explaining?
How come...
Zhao Xuerou looked at Lin Wanyi, curled up in pain, and a thought suddenly surfaced.
She is faking it!
Absolutely, she’s faking it!
"She’s faking it!" Zhao Xuerou shrieked.
"I didn’t even touch her! It’s her own..."
However, her voice was drowned out in the chaotic shouts, no one listening.
One of the military wives even impatiently pushed her.
"What are you still shouting here for! Get up and don’t block the way!"
Zhao Xuerou stumbled from the push, completely stunned.
Looking at the group surrounding Lin Wanyi, terrified, she felt like she herself was the real joke.
Lin Wanyi continued to "painfully" moan.
"Yanshen... Gu Yanshen... I’m in so much pain..."
Her shout was like pouring a ladle of water onto hot oil.
It’s over.
Everyone’s heart sank.
If Mr. Gu comes back and sees this scene...
Zhao Xuerou, not willing, tried to scream out that "She’s faking it" with all her might.
"What are you all doing standing around here!!"
A thunderous voice, mixed with rage, echoed from the yard entrance.
That voice, like a thoroughly enraged male lion.
Everyone turned around in terror.
Gu Yanshen’s tall figure was charging toward them with a murderous aura that could kill.
Gu Yanshen held Lin Wanyi and started to run.
He had never run so fast before.
The sound of the wind roared past his ears.
The person in his arms was light, yet felt like a mountain weighing him down.
"Wanyi... I’m sorry..."
"It’s my fault..."
"I shouldn’t have gone out..."
His words were incoherent, his voice shaking uncontrollably.
"I should’ve tied a string to your foot..."
"I shouldn’t have left you alone in the yard..."
Lin Wanyi buried her face in his chest.
His heart was pounding as if it wanted to explode.
"I’m fine..."
