Shen Xingyue let out a long breath, only to feel an unprecedented wave of fatigue wash over her.
That afternoon, Father Shen and Mother Shen remained determined to take Shen Xingyue to view a house.
“Dad, Mom,” Shen Xingyue hesitated, “why don’t we wait until Sister-in-law feels better?”
“Don’t worry about her,” Mother Shen said firmly. “Our family’s matters shouldn’t be dictated by outsiders.”
Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Junlian suddenly clutched her stomach and groaned in pain.
“Junlian!” Shen Yang panicked, “What’s wrong?”
“My stomach... it hurts so much...” Jiang Junlian’s face turned pale, cold sweat pouring down her brow. “I think... I might be having a miscarriage...”
Shen Yang immediately turned to his parents. “Dad, Mom, do you really have to go house hunting right now? Junlian is in this condition!”
Father Shen and Mother Shen exchanged glances, a hint of doubt flickering in their eyes.
“Yangyang,” Father Shen said in a low voice, “do you think your sister-in-law might be faking it?”
“Dad!” Shen Yang exclaimed angrily. “How can you say that?”
“Enough!” Jiang Junlian suddenly sat up, her eyes flashing with anger. “If you insist on going to see the house, then go! Even if I lose this child, I won’t let you have your way!”
Shen Xingyue gasped in shock, unable to believe what she had just heard.
The room fell into a heavy silence.
The house purchase ultimately fell through.
A few hours later, Shen Yang returned home, exhausted. During dinner, he looked at the table full of dishes but had little appetite.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Shen Xingyue noticed Shen Yang's unusual demeanor and asked with concern.
Shen Yang put down his chopsticks and sighed. "Xiao Yue, do you really have to buy a house?"
Shen Xingyue was taken aback; she hadn't expected her brother to bring up this matter so suddenly.
"Brother, I..."
"Do you know what kind of chaos has erupted at home because of your decision to buy a house?" Shen Yang interrupted her, his tone laced with reproach. "Your sister-in-law is pregnant right now; can you please consider her feelings?"
Shen Xingyue felt a wave of grievance wash over her. She hadn't anticipated that her brother would side with her sister-in-law.
"Brother, how does buying a house mean I don't consider her?" Shen Xingyue retorted. "Isn't she being greedy and blaming me for it?"
"Xiao Yue!" Shen Yang raised his voice. "How can you say that about your sister-in-law? Who is she doing this for? Isn't it for our family?"
"For this family?" Shen Xingyue scoffed. "I think she's doing it for herself!"
Father Shen and Mother Shen watched from the side, their expressions growing increasingly grim.
"Enough arguing!" Father Shen said in a deep voice. "Let's eat!"
The meal was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
A few days later, Shen Xingyue's birthday arrived.
Her boyfriend, Li Ze, had made reservations at a restaurant early on, planning to surprise Shen Xingyue.
Shen Xingyue had invited her parents and family over, intending to formally introduce her boyfriend.
Although Jiang Junlian was already in her second trimester, she had come out of her room; it was a rare occasion for the family to gather together.
At the birthday party, the atmosphere was warm and romantic.
Especially when Li Ze gave Shen Xingyue an even bigger surprise.
He gazed at Shen Xingyue with deep affection and said, "Xingyue, meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life."
He took out an exquisite ring box from his pocket and knelt on one knee. "Will you marry me?"
Shen Xingyue was moved to tears. Looking into Li Ze's sincere eyes, she nodded vigorously. "I will!"
Applause and cheers erupted, and Father Shen and Mother Shen both wore smiles of contentment.
Jiang Junlian sat in the corner, watching this happy scene unfold, her expression growing increasingly somber.
