CHAPTER 767: CHAPTER 766 UNABLE TO GET PREGNANT (6)

The phone seemed to pause for a moment, and then Shi Che’s low voice slowly rose, each word deliberately entering Sister Hua’s ears.

"What did Mom say to Chuxia yesterday?"

Shi Che’s question was somewhat abrupt, catching Sister Hua off guard, and without thinking, she uttered, "What?"

Shi Che was slightly impatient, a crease forming between his brows, his voice unconsciously growing heavier, but still, he repeated his question patiently, "What exactly did Mom tell Chuxia when she asked her to come home yesterday?"

Chuxia’s mood was off today, or rather, it had been off since yesterday. It’s just that she hadn’t shown it so clearly yesterday, so he didn’t think much of it. Today, however, he could clearly see that Chuxia seemed quite hesitant to face him, as if she had something weighing on her mind.

In the past, she was not good at hiding things, but after those three years, she had become accustomed to burying many things deep inside, facing them alone, and suffering alone. He did not want to see her like this, nor did he want anything troubling her.

Nothing much had happened to her recently; the only event was that his mother had called her home yesterday.

With this thought, the light in Shi Che’s dark pupils dimmed, and he continued to speak, "Did Mom say something unpleasant to Chuxia yesterday?"

He knew his mother’s character better than anyone. Although she said she had accepted Ling Chuxia, it didn’t mean she was satisfied with her. From the beginning, she had never been fully content with her.

This was why, even after he and Chuxia returned for a while, he hadn’t taken Chuxia to see his mother. He did not want Chuxia to feel wronged.

Sister Hua was stunned for about half a second before she fully grasped her young master’s question. She was about to answer when she heard the additional sentence that followed, which startled her so much that she widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously.

Now Mrs. Shi was fully aware that Ling Chuxia was Shi Che’s treasure. Any dissatisfaction had to be suppressed, let alone saying anything unpleasant to Ling Chuxia.

She shook her head, then realized that Shi Che couldn’t see her, and hurriedly spoke, "Young master, Madam did not say anything unpleasant to Miss Chuxia."

"Nothing?"

It wasn’t that Shi Che wanted to doubt his own mother, but at the moment, she was indeed the prime suspect.

Shi Che’s counter-question carried a cold tone, so cold that it sent a chill down Sister Hua’s spine. She couldn’t help but grip her phone tighter and responded, "Nothing. Madam just said that she hopes after you and Miss Chuxia get married, you will quickly have a child."

Shi Che had heard Sister Hua mention that yesterday, and there was nothing inappropriate about it. His dark eyes slightly narrowed as he tapped his fingers on the back of the phone, "Just this?"

If it was just this, then where did Chuxia’s despondent and evasive mood today come from?

"Are you sure?"

Shi Che’s voice was low and faint, but those two sentences, just three words, carried with them a pressure that made Sister Hua feel a slight stagnation in her chest. She couldn’t help but carefully ponder in her mind what else Madam might have said to Miss Chuxia.

She frowned, trying hard to remember every single thing Mrs. Shi said to Miss Chuxia yesterday, still finding nothing unpleasant. The only thing was, "Madam thought Miss Chuxia was too thin, so she told her to take good care of her body for a better chance at getting pregnant. Oh, right, Madam also mentioned yesterday that she wanted a doctor to check Miss Chuxia’s health."
