Chapter 842: Chapter 846: Miao Miao, Have You Fallen in Love with Gang Zi?

Sss~

Blue streaks of electricity immediately crawled across Zhang Miao’s abdomen, directly striking Yu Xiang who stood beyond Madam Gao.

Sss~

Yu Xiang herself didn’t receive much harm, her hair just stood on end because of the shock, instantly turning her rich and luxurious hairstyle into a bird’s nest, creating quite the spectacle!

Yu Xiang was falling apart, "Why, why did the electricity hit me?"

The older ladies managed to hold back their laughter, but the younger daughters-in-law couldn’t contain themselves and burst out laughing.

"Don’t laugh!" Yu Xiang was furiously embarrassed.

Tang Yan quickly went over to support Yu Xiang, "Mom, please calm down."

Slap!

Yu Xiang slapped Tang Yan across the face, "You ingratiating traitor, I’m being humiliated, and you’re laughing about it!"

"I’m sorry," Tang Yan apologized, her head lowered.

"Hmph!" Yu Xiang touched her bird’s nest hair and felt too ashamed to stay at the Yang family’s house any longer, fleeing the scene like a dog that had lost its home.

The wife of the Ling family, who always followed the Song family’s lead, also hurriedly took her daughter-in-law and left.

It was quite the transformation—the proud entry reminiscent of a cock ready for battle, the drenched departure similar to a chicken caught in the rain.

"Uh, I’m very sorry," Yu Xiang gave a slight bow to everyone before she too took her leave.

Of the four mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pairs that had come to the Yang family’s home, only the Gao family duo remained.

Madam Gao was also extremely embarrassed as she got up and said, "I think it’s about time we left too."

Bai Ninglu laughed, "Have some tea before you leave. Don’t worry, we won’t make things difficult for you. Although the relationship between our Yang family and the Gao family is just average, we are not enemies. I know there is a certain schadenfreude towards the Yang family in Hangcheng high society recently, but I don’t believe Madam Gao shares that sentiment."

"Uh..." Madam Gao sat back down, "I am very sorry."

"I told you it’s alright," said Bai Ninglu with a smile. She glanced at the young woman beside Madam Gao and added, "This beautiful lady must be your daughter-in-law? If I remember correctly, her name is Zhao Qianye, right?"

"Yes, Auntie," the girl responded with few words. To be more precise, ever since she had entered the living room, she hadn’t said a word. Unlike Tang Yan who didn’t want to speak, this girl truly was very quiet.

Zhang Miao eyed Zhao Qianye, feeling that the girl’s temperament seemed vaguely familiar.

"Oh, I remember now, Shen Jing. This girl’s temperament is very much like Shen Jing’s."

"What’s wrong, Miao Miao?" Bai Ninglu noticed Zhang Miao’s peculiar behavior.

Zhang Miao collected herself, then said with a smile, "It’s nothing, just that Miss Zhao reminds me of a friend of mine."

"Oh, is that so," said Zhao Qianye.

The Gao family’s mother and daughter-in-law stayed at the Yang family’s house for a little while longer before they too took their leave.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

After the Gao family pair had left, Bai Ninglu kept staring at Zhang Miao’s belly.

"Hehe," Bai Ninglu reined in her emotion before saying, "It’s nothing, I’m just amazed at how powerful the baby is, activating The Seventh Brain Domain and possessing a superpower before even being born. Generally, children born to Superpower Users naturally have The Seventh Brain Domain activated but for a baby to do so before birth is extremely rare."

This was all beside the point, as what Bai Ninglu was most concerned about was whether the child in Zhang Miao’s stomach was truly Yang Gang’s. However, these were questions that she really couldn’t bring herself to ask.

Zhang Miao knew what Bai Ninglu was thinking.

She remained silent, as if contemplating something.

After a long while, Zhang Miao finally said, "Mom, there’s something I need to tell you. But, I hope you won’t tell anyone, especially Yang Gang."

Madam Gao’s heart tightened, "Is it about the father of the child?"

"Yes."

Madam Gao blinked and whispered, "Miao Miao, the child isn’t Yang Gang’s brother’s, is it? I remember, Yang Gang has two close brothers by the names of Little Qi and Zhang Yu. This kind of matter is indeed hard to speak of."

Before Zhang Miao could speak, Madam Gao clenched her teeth and added, "Miao Miao, rest assured, since Yang Gang is not looking into who the child is, I won’t mind either."

Zhang Miao broke out in a sweat, "Mom, what are you talking about? The child is Yang Gang’s."

"Eh?!" Madam Gao was stunned, then after a long moment she asked, "Then why..."

Zhang Miao fell silent for a bit before saying, "Yang Gang’s favorite woman is Xiaorou, his heart should be free, and I don’t want to use the child to bind Yang Gang’s feelings."

Madam Gao was stunned.

"This way." She walked over, hugged Zhang Miao and said softly, "Miao Miao, for Yang Gang to have married a wife like you, and for our Yang family to have gained a daughter-in-law like you, it’s truly the Yang family’s honor."

Zhang Miao smiled, "That is the highest praise for me."

Madam Gao released her and smilingly said, "Speaking of which, you two... It seems like Yang Gang is completely unaware of the child’s matter."

Zhang Miao then talked about the incident of the hangover.

Madam Gao’s mouth fell open, "Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s fates are the same, no, it seems that the men of the Yang family can even inherit luck."

Zhang Miao was stunned, "Mom, are you saying that you and Dad..."

Madam Gao nodded, her smile returning as she said, "Among the legions pursuing me back then, your dad was the least expected to succeed. The name Yang Lin held as a ladies’ man was known to everyone in the city. Back then, he even had a romantic relationship with the current Madam Xia and was also ambiguous with Tong Xin’s adoptive mother. I knew all of this very well. When I considered dating prospects, I didn’t think of Yang Lin at all. But then, it was also a drunk night that led me to lose myself to Yang Lin. After that, everything changed."

She paused, then laughed, "There’s a saying, ’The path to a woman’s heart is through her XX.’ The saying is vulgar, but it’s classic. Ever since I lost myself to Yang Lin, ripples began to form in my heart, I’d find myself unconsciously paying attention to Yang Lin, caring about him, helping him. When I saw him being ambiguous with other women, I’d inexplicably get angry. Just like that, I slowly fell in love with Yang Lin."

After finishing, Madam Gao looked at Zhang Miao, then asked, "Miao Miao, have you fallen in love with Yang Gang?"

Zhang Miao thought about it, "I’m not quite sure. Books say that jealousy is an expression of love. I pay attention to Yang Gang, I help him, but I don’t get jealous."

Madam Gao laughed, "Oh, is that so? No wonder. For a remarkable woman like you to fall for a man with a ’spotty record’ like Yang Gang, indeed it’s a bit difficult."

"Uh, it’s not that. I’m just..." Zhang Miao gathered her emotions before saying, "Actually, I’m even more clueless about emotions than Yang Gang."

"Really?" Madam Gao looked astonished.

Who wouldn’t be?

Zhang Miao was clearly a woman with high emotional intelligence and intelligence quotient; for her to say she’s emotionally slow, who would believe that?

"Really. Other women start harboring fantasies about men and begin to develop tender, naive feelings during adolescence, but I didn’t. Although I have fantasized about the arrival of a Prince, I didn’t have any desire for a romantic relationship."

Zhang Miao paused, then continued, "Actually, apart from him being the father of the child, I married Yang Gang also because he liked another woman. Even if I don’t fall in love with him, he won’t be hurt."

Madam Gao fixated on Zhang Miao’s eyes, after a long wait, she suddenly said, "Miao Miao, you’re not emotionally slow; subconsciously, you are avoiding emotions."

"Avoiding emotions? But, I haven’t loved anyone..."

"Did anyone instill in you the notion that marriage is unhappy and love is terrible when you were young?" asked Madam Gao.

Zhang Miao was taken aback.

"Mother!"

"It looks like you’ve found the root of the problem." Madam Gao smiled, looked outside the door and added, "Speaking of which, where did that guy Yang Gang run off to?"
