Chapter 449: Chapter 433 Thought Too Much

"It’s nothing serious, just a sudden and severe shock that caused a disturbance in the blood and qi functions. Adjusting her mindset will resolve the issue. Taking medicine could actually be counterproductive, so there’s no need to go to the hospital."

As soon as the Gu Family’s family doctor Peng Quan received the call, he rushed over at top speed to give Ye Man a full checkup. He then sighed in relief, packed up his medical kit, and after addressing the few people present, he picked up his bag and was ready to leave.

"Thank you, Doctor Peng, for taking the trouble to come here personally," said Ye Man, along with her father and mother, who all quickly stood up to see Peng Quan off.

Peng Quan immediately raised his hand to stop them, his face brimming with a smile that felt as pleasant as a spring breeze, "Please, there’s no need. I’ve always done this for the Gu Family; it’s part of my job. Gu Feng can escort me for a short distance; that’ll be enough. You should spend more time with your child. Also, try to persuade her to not get so angry in the future; anger harms one’s own body, and it’s no joking matter. If she really gets too angry next time, it would be better for her to just slap Gu Feng twice to let off steam than to harm herself like this. Don’t you agree?"

Ye Man’s parents laughed awkwardly and indeed stopped in their tracks, while Ye Man herself felt her face burning up with embarrassment.

Gu Feng, looking equally embarrassed, escorted Peng Quan all the way to the ground floor. "It’s been quite the effort for Uncle Quan to make this trip."

"Kid, everyone’s been eagerly waiting to toast to your wedding; it’s like they’re waiting for a fruit to fall. And here you are, silently bringing a child into the picture without a peep, and the child’s mother ends up so angry because of you? Tsk--"

Peng Quan, without an ounce of sympathy, patted Gu Feng’s shoulder, looking a bit like he was taking delight in the misfortune. If he didn’t have other matters to attend to, he probably would have stayed just to watch the drama unfold. Tsk, what a shame.

"I cannot keep such a big matter from your parents; I reckon they will be here shortly, too. You’d better think quickly about how to deal with the elders from both families," said Peng Quan as he placed his medical kit into the passenger seat of his car parked downstairs, got into the car himself, and left Gu Feng with a rather large problem to handle.

"..." Gu Feng hesitated for a moment, before reaching into his pocket to compose a text message. Only after sending it did he begin dialing a number to make a call.

Upstairs, Ye Man’s mother slapped the back of Ye Man’s hand heavily. "You scared me to death. Just tell us what exactly is going on? Weren’t you dating a man named Xia Ye, an orphan? And you even said to invite him over for dinner on Saturday. Your father was so happy yesterday that he told your grandparents, and now they insist on coming over as well, along with your two aunts, to check out your boyfriend. How did it come to you having this child with someone named Gu Feng in the blink of an eye? How are we supposed to explain this?"

Ye Man’s mother looked skeptically at Ye Man, who kept her head low and remained silent; her expression was very serious. She first glanced toward the wide-open door before lowering her voice, "Don’t tell me you’re playing the field here? We’re a respectable family; don’t you go imitating those indecent women outside. In the end, it’s us women who suffer the most in these situations."

"I’m not."

Ye Man instinctively retorted. Just then, her phone gave a "ding" alert. She checked it and said quietly, "Gu Feng says his parents will come over shortly, and he’s staying downstairs to wait for them."

"His parents are coming too? Well, that’s perfect. We can all discuss together how to handle this situation," Ye Man’s father said with some satisfaction at last.

"The child is already on the way; what can we do other than get married? Aren’t you just stating the obvious?" Ye’s mother glared at Ye’s father, then turned to her daughter to interrogate, "Now, tell me, what’s this with Xia Ye?"

"Now that Xiaoman is with this Gu Feng and even has a child, why bring up that Xia Ye?" Ye’s father unconsciously looked towards the door, lowering his voice to scold Ye’s mother, "The priority now is not to blame the child. We need to call Gu Feng to bring his parents over quickly, so we can discuss the wedding. Otherwise, in a few months when her stomach gets bigger, wouldn’t it be a laughingstock?"

"Ah, you didn’t know how to conduct yourself before marriage; how will people treat you after?"

After hearing Ye’s father’s words, Ye’s mother did not bring up "Xia Ye" again, also fearing that if she asked now, what if Gu Feng overheard and was unaware, then wouldn’t he start having a bad opinion of their daughter?

But not mentioning it didn’t alleviate her worries and concerns, which were inevitably present in her tone when she spoke again, tinged with dejection.

"This Gu Feng can even summon a doctor at will; his family’s background must be quite good. The better the family, the higher their expectations for a daughter-in-law. With our family’s circumstances, it’s probably like reaching for a branch way above us, but is such a high branch that easy to reach?"

Take Lin Fang next door, for instance; she married into a business family. I heard they are quite wealthy, running no small enterprise. Her in-laws gave her a dowry of 330,000 yuan and also provided a house and car, and for their honeymoon, they went traveling in Europe... Tsk, back then, how many of our neighbors were envious.

But only after she really married into that family and had a son did she realize that they looked down on Lin Fang’s family. Even after having a grandson, they never brought him over to play. During holidays, neither her son-in-law nor her grandson would visit, and it wasn’t easy for Lin Fang to visit her own family either.

From a well-informed neighbor, I secretly heard gossip that even Lin Fang’s parents aren’t welcomed when they visit to see their grandson, having to wait for the in-laws’ approval. The in-laws evidently felt that they had already ’bought’ their daughter with the hefty dowry, and from then on, the less the two families need to interact, the better."

Ye’s mother felt a personal sorrow: "You tell me, what’s the point of climbing to such a household? It’s fortunate that they have a son; it’s unlike our family with only Xiaoman. If we encountered a similar situation..."

"Don’t make it sound so terrible. You’re scaring the child."

Ye’s father turned around to see that his daughter looked upset and quickly stopped his wife from continuing. He paused, as if to reassure himself and the two women, "When you think about it, our family’s situation isn’t bad either. We don’t have a son, so everything will belong to our daughter someday, and they don’t need to worry about us coveting their wealth for a son or anything like that. And even if, for some reason, they still feel disdain—"

Ye’s father sighed at this point and couldn’t continue anymore.

The child hadn’t even entered into marriage yet; how could he be the one to pour cold water on her by saying such inauspicious things?

Ye’s father furrowed his brows, "Maybe we’re overthinking it. Where would Xiaoman meet someone wealthy? She isn’t that beautiful, and she’s not young anymore, already in her mid-twenties. That Lin Fang, I’ve seen her, she’s younger than Xiaoman and much prettier. Maybe that doctor is just some relative of the Gu Family?"
