“Mother, we should go to the hospital for a blood test.”

Ye Tianxin was both elated and worried at the thought that Ye Linlang might be pregnant.

Ye Linlang was not getting any younger. If she was going to be a mother at this age, it would be a risky situation.

“We can go tomorrow.”

The banquet at the Xie family was very important. Ye Linlang did not want to disrupt the dinner because of her.

It was not easy getting everyone in the family together. The reunion was a blessing to the Xie family.

“Mother, you are a doctor. You should know this better than anyone of us. Are you aware of the consequences of being pregnant at this age?”

Ye Linlang did not say a word. She knew that it was very dangerous to get pregnant at that age. She touched her belly unconsciously. The soreness made her heart wrench.

Ye Tianxin was worried about her age. However, Ye Linlang was more concerned about the surgeries she had done before. She had anesthesia for all her surgeries. She was not sure if they would affect the fetus.

“Yes, I know.”

She would go to the hospital for a blood test. It was the easiest way to find out if she was pregnant.

“Let me speak to Father. He is an involved party. He should know better.”

Ye Tianxin helped Ye Linlang back to the dining room, while Xie Xuning got up and walked over to help Ye Linlang.

“Linlang, what’s wrong?” He was concerned about how pale Ye Linlang looked.

Ye Tianxin looked at the guests. It did not seem appropriate for her to announce Ye Linlang’s pregnancy in front of everyone, especially the matriarch.

‘What if it was a false alarm? The matriarch would be very disappointed.

“Mother is feeling a little unwell.”

“All right. Let’s go to the hospital first.”

Xie Xuning took Ye Linlang’s coat and helped her put it on.

Ye Tianxin glanced at Li Qingcang and motioned him to follow them.

The four of them prepared to leave.

Xie Xuning walked over to the matriarch and whispered in her ear, “Grandma, I’ll send Linlang to the hospital for a checkup.”

“Go quickly. We can always eat another time.”

The matriarch’s face suddenly lit up. Since she was old, she had more experience with this kind of thing than Ye Tainxin. She had already guessed why Ye Linlang was reacting this way.

However, since they did not say anything, there must be a reason. She would wait for a while.

“Xie Qian, you do not seem happy today.”

‘The matriarch turned to Xie Qian and asked after Xie Xuning had left.

Xie Qian was not in the best of moods that night. Nobody would be happy if his son had seized his power.

“Iknow what’s bothering you. I may be old but I am not dumb.”

‘The matriarch leaned on the chair and looked at Xie Qian sternly.

“You and Li Hezheng were too much in the past. It was understandable that Xuning could not get over it and would not forgive you.”

Xie Qian frowned and gripped the cup in his hand tightly.

“Mother, you don’t know anything at all.”

Xie Xuning was an adult now. He could do whatever he wished. He could even kill his own father to vent his anger.

“The Xie family has stood strong alll these years in the capital because we know where we stand. We do not covet what is not ours. Xie Qian, you should know that the sons of the Xie family do not need to form an alliance through marriage of convenience. We depend on ourselves to get to where we are. If

we need to resort to allying one day to strengthen our position, do you know what this means? It means that our family has fallen.”

The matriarch’s words resounded clearly.

She might be old but nothing could escape her sharp eyes.
