Song Yan did not say anything instead she simply smiled at Fu Shu Chang and then took the initiative to push his wheelchair. Since the two of them were the only ones who did not have any work at home, they had enough free time to waste like this, seeing that Song Yan was not speaking, Fu Shu Chang understood that something was up, his eyes turned grave as he looked around the Chen house vigilantly.
In fact, he was trying to resign and leave the military district since he had no reason to stay back anymore and had enough trouble to last for a lifetime but his superiors were reluctant to let him go especially once they found out that all the credits which were earned by Cui Deming belonged to Fu Shu Chang.
If Cui Deming was really that skilled then the superiors would have agreed with Fu Shu Chang's resignation but now that they knew that Cui Deming was not half as good as Fu Shu Chang, how could they be willing to let him leave?
" Is something going to happen?" Fu Shu Chang asked already feeling a bit weary, all he wanted was to kowtow and leave this wretched house but instead, it seemed to him that there was no way he will be able to leave so soon.
Song Yan hummed as she pushed Fu Shu Chang to the front of the porcelain jar and then bowed along with Fu Shu Chang, her eyes fell on Chen Chu Chu whose eyes were red because of all the crying she had done, next to her was Chen Xi who looked better than her sister but she too was crying with fat, big tears falling down her cheeks.
" I am surprised that she did not go to the acting field with her skills," muttered Song Yan as she turned Fu Shu Chang's wheelchair and stepped out of the house as if she was leaving with the latter, her actions were so confusing that Fu Shu Chang did not know what was going on, he simply looked at Song Yan who was using him as a prop and then asked, " Am I being used as a shield?"
" You are indeed going to be used as a shield, brother-in-law," Song Yan smiled at Fu Shu Chang who looked at Song Yan with confusion and helplessness in his eyes, it seemed like he wanted to say something but upon seeing that Song Yan had already thought of a plan, he did not say anything and sighed, " Just don't use me as a literal shield, I still want to have a kid with your sister in law."
" You are allowed to hold her hand?" asked Song Yan with a surprised expression on her face to which Fu Shu Chang ruefully smiled and then answered, " Of course not, but she talked three more words with me yesterday. I think we are making progress."
" Right, I am sure you will have a child with a sister-in-law in the next fifty years if you continue at this pace."
…..
At the Yan residence, Xiao Mei was sleeping soundly on the couch. Her snores were deep and heavy as if she was not going to wake anytime soon, Old Madam Yan was keeping an eye on Xiao Mei but then the phone in her room which she had left on the bedside cabinet rang and she had to stand up and walk over to her room with her old bones and slow pace.
Old Madam Yan had no idea that as soon as she pushed the door of her room and stepped inside, Xiao Mei who was sleeping opened her eyes with a snap. Her eyes which were usually black and shimmering with many stars were now covered with webs and were white like pearls, she stood up from the couch as the talisman on her back turned black before burning to a crisp as she raised her feet and walked out of the house in a daze.
" Little Mei, your mother——" Old Madam Yan stepped out of the room just as the door of the Yan family house closed with a snap, she was holding the phone in her hand as she turned to look at the couch where Xiao Mei was sleeping till now.
Her eyes widened in shock and her entire face went slack when she saw that Xiao Mei was not sleeping on the bed and seemed to have left the house when she went to pick up the call, a bad premonition rose in her heart as she immediately ended the call with her in law after profusely apologising to her before calling Song Yan who was waiting for Xiao Mei outside the greenhouse.
She knew that even though her sleeping talisman was effective, the two Chen sisters were desperate to get their hands on Xiao Mei's unborn child, thus they will give it their all to bring her here which was good as well, she will make sure to strip the mask which was hiding the real face of the Chen sisters properly this time, and even if she failed to strip it all the way to reveal their sinister intentions. She still will be able to let the entire military district know that something was up with the Chen family!
While she was hiding in an inconspicuous spot, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and immediately pulled it out, her expression changed when she saw that it was Old Madam Yan calling her and answered the call without wasting another minute.
" Yan Yan, I …I don't know what happened! I swear I was keeping an eye on Xiao Mei till now making sure that she will not leave the house but then my phone rang and I went to pick it up, and when I returned, Xiao Mei was gone!" Old Madam Yan was panicking as she had looked around the house but she did not find even a strand of Xiao Mei's hair and she was not even picking up her phone when she called her again and again.
