Chapter 115 Acting
"My uncle has not asked grandpa's permission for the time being, so we are not very familiar with him and have few opportunities to talk."
After quarreling for a long time, it turned out that this young uncle was not honest, and it seemed that nothing could be found out.
"Are you still in the mood to care about this?" Gu Jingyan felt angry when he saw the gentle way she spoke to Mo Mingxuan, "The doctor will be here soon. Think carefully about how to cover your lie."
Qiao Ruoxing said, "What lie are you telling me? I didn't say I was pregnant, it was all their imagination. When the doctor came, he said I had a bad stomach."
"Do you think the doctor is a fool?"
"In the worst case, just bribe him. Money can make all the difference."
The corners of Gu Jingyan's eyes twitched, where did she get her views?
Mo Mingxuan smiled and said, "You don't have to do that. The doctor is my friend. I will talk to him later and he will cooperate."
Qiao Ruoxing narrowed her eyes, "Lawyer Mo, you are such a kind person."
Gu Jingyan suddenly felt a little itchy on his molar teeth and couldn't help but push it.

The old lady and her group were waiting outside the lounge. The doctor came out a moment later.
Qiao Xusheng asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
The doctor said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a slight case of food poisoning."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene had different expressions.
The old lady was stunned for a moment. Before she could speak, Qiao Xusheng said anxiously, "Food poisoning? Aren't you pregnant?"
"If she is not pregnant, her pulse is not that of a pregnant woman. If you don't believe it, you can go to the hospital for a checkup."
Naturally, the Mo family's private doctor couldn't even get this wrong.
The old lady's expression immediately became disappointed, but she still asked, "Is the food poisoning serious? Does it have a big impact on the body?"
"Her symptoms are relatively mild. I have prescribed medicine. She will take the medicine on time when she goes home and rest for two days and she will be fine."
Gu Jingyang curled his lips, startling her, thinking that Qiao Ruoxing was really pregnant, but after a long time of trouble, she was still the same chicken that couldn't lay eggs.
The old lady sighed, her eyes unable to conceal her disappointment.
Zhong Meilan said softly, "Mom, don't be too sad. We can't rush this matter. Ruoxing's health is the most important thing right now. Let's go in and take a look first."
The old lady nodded, turned to Qiao Xusheng and said, "My father-in-law, please come in and take a look."
After Qiao Xusheng knew that Qiao Ruo was not pregnant, his enthusiasm had long since dissipated. Seeing the old lady speaking, he hurriedly said, "The child is feeling uncomfortable right now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to speak. I'll go see her alone another day."
The old lady didn't say anything more.
After they entered, Bai Huizhu, who had been following them, appeared.
"How's it going? You've stopped the Gu family from bidding several times, and you still dare to say that your good daughter didn't do it on purpose? She had no intention of helping from the beginning, and she even said that the bracelet could be refunded. I suspect she was lying to you."
Qiao Xusheng's face was tense and he said nothing.
"Brother Sheng, I suspect she may know something about that year."
"Impossible!" Qiao Xusheng immediately objected, "All the things from back then were destroyed. What can she know?"
"I also hope she doesn't know anything, but Brother Sheng, we have to take precautions. You can't trust her too much."
Qiao Xusheng had a gloomy face and said after a long time, "I know what's going on."

When everyone came in, Qiao Ruoxing was lying on the sofa with a pale face. When she heard the noise, she struggled to sit up.
The old lady hurriedly said, "Don't move, good boy, just lie down."
"Grandma~"
The old lady said kindly, "How is it? Are you feeling better now?"
"Still a little queasy, but much better than before. It worries you."
"As long as it's okay, I thought..." The old lady paused and sighed, "Forget it, take good care of your health."
The old lady here was whispering to Qiao Ruoxing, and Zhong Meilan suddenly received a text message on her phone over there.
She glanced down, frowning slightly, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
Then he pursed his lips, put away his phone, and stepped forward and said, "Mom, why don't we send Ruoxing back first? It's almost time for the exhibition anyway, and you've been standing for too long. Go home and have a good rest."
The old lady nodded, turned to Gu Jingyan and said, "Send Ruoxing to my car. There is a bed in my car, so she will be more comfortable lying down."
As the host, Mo Shiyun offered a few words of condolences, and then Mo Mingxuan sent everyone off on her behalf.
The old lady is old and has bad waist and legs, so her car is designed to be extremely comfortable, but Qiao Ruoxing cannot enjoy this blessing at the moment.
The old lady asked after her, and she felt moved and guilty. She even thought about telling the truth to the old lady, but as soon as she spoke, the old lady handed over a plum candy.
"Ruoxing, do you feel uncomfortable in your mouth? Make sure it doesn't contain any sugar and see if it feels better. If you don't like this flavor, there are also green plum and tangerine peel. Which flavor do you want?"
Uncle Qin said from the front, "Madam, the young lady is not pregnant. These sour candies are not useful. There are mint candies in the box in front. You can peel one and give it to her. Maybe it will make her feel better."
Qiao Ruoxing couldn't say anything for a moment. The old lady hoped that her great-grandson would always prepare pregnant women's favorite food in the car, but she pretended to vomit, leaving the old lady happy in space. The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
"Green plums, grandma, I like the taste of green plums."
The old lady peeled one for her and said, "After eating the candy, close your eyes and sleep for a while. You will be home soon."
Qiao Ruoxing said "Yeah" and closed her eyes obediently.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Gu Jingyan came over to carry her out of the car. The old lady didn't plan to go in, but Zhong Meilan said, "Mom, come in and sit down. We haven't been to Jingyan's place for a long time."
The old lady wanted to say that she had just been here in the afternoon, but then she thought about what she had lied to her eldest daughter-in-law, so she swallowed her words and said, "Then go in and sit down."
Gu Jingyan carried her to the bedroom, and Zhong Meilan also helped the old lady in.
Qiao Ruoxing pretended to be sick and felt uncomfortable all over. She pinched Gu Jingyan's waist secretly with her fingers, indicating that he should send her away quickly. If it took any longer, it would be exposed.
Gu Jingyan gave her a look that said "you deserve it".
When Gu Jingyan covered Qiao Ruoxing with a quilt, the old lady sat by the bed and kept nagging.
She was even afraid that Qiao Ruoxing would not eat well, so she wanted to transfer the cook from home.
This chat lasted for another half a day.
Qiao Ruoxing was on pins and needles, "Grandma, no need, the aunt at home cooks well. It's late, you should go back and rest early, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."
The old lady saw that her face was not very good, so she didn't have the heart to bother her, "Okay, take care of yourself, I'll come back in a few days."
Gu Jingyan helped the old lady up, and when she saw that the old lady was about to go out, Gu Jingyang suddenly said, "Mom, grandma, what do you see here?"
Qiao Ruoxing frowned, and when she saw what Gu Jingyang was holding, her expression froze instantly.
