After freshening up, when Tian Ai walked out of the bathroom, the room was already empty. Mother Lin had already left. She picked up the bowl of soup, couldn't help but pause for a moment, then turned around and poured it all into the sink.
There is always a strong feeling that I cannot drink this bowl of soup.
Could it be a birth control pill?
But aren’t all birth control pills now in granular form? Why do we have to make such an unpleasant soup?
Suddenly, there was the sound of the doorknob turning. Tian Ai immediately flushed the sink nervously, then walked out of the bathroom, put the bowl to her mouth and pretended to drink medicine.
Hope no flaws are found.
"Have you finished drinking?"
It was still Mother Lin who came in. When she saw Tian Ai "drinking" the decoction, she breathed a sigh of relief and took the empty porcelain bowl.
"Is this medicine? It tastes so bitter!"
Tian Ai asked pretending to be nonchalant. While asking, he did not forget to quietly observe the expression on Lin's face, hoping to get some clues from it.
"this and that"
Lin's mother hesitated for a long time and couldn't answer. She was just following Madam's orders. Besides, Madam also said that the young master had given her the medicine, so she had no idea what the bowl of soup that she gave Li Tianai was.
However, the young master just consummated his marriage with her last night, so the medicine should be a contraceptive. Neither the madam nor the young master can make her pregnant with the Nalan family's child.
"It should be the contraceptive pill!"
Sure enough, Lin's mother's reaction confirmed her guess.
Tian Ai's tone seemed extremely bland, and a union in hatred was indeed not suitable for raising the next generation, but the strange thing was that she actually felt like she was lucky not to have drank the bowl of soup just now.
"Actually, I can guess it without you having to answer. Don't worry, I will drink the medicine. After all, I don't want to get pregnant because of it."
Tian Ai said this just to reassure Mother Lin, so that she could at least let down her guard a little, and maybe she wouldn't be constantly monitoring her when taking medicine in the future.
After hearing Tian Ai's words, Lin's mother glanced at her in surprise, and then walked out of the room without saying anything else.
As soon as the door was closed, her cell phone rang. The screen showed her home phone number. Tian Ai hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the call button.
"Hello!"
"Oh my God, I am daddy."
Li Wenping's slightly old voice came from the phone. Li Tianai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. His usually energetic father had never been so depressed before. Could it be that something happened at home?!
Thinking of Nalan Si's starry eyes full of hatred, her heart was startled for no reason, and her fingers holding the phone couldn't help but tighten.
"Dad, did something happen?"
"The company, the company can't support it any longer. I've been to the Nalan Group several times in the past few days, but I've never been able to see Nalan Si. When I called him, his secretary answered the call. I heard it seemed like
I'm busy developing new projects, so I don't have time to meet any visitors. Oh my God, Dad... I'm really desperate this time. Nalansi is also your husband and my son-in-law. If he knows the current situation of the company, he will definitely not do it.
I will sit back and ignore it.”
"Dad me"
Tian Ai hesitated to speak. She and Nalan Si were not a couple at all. Her father had jumped into his trap from the beginning, and he hated the Li family, so it was impossible to help them.
"By the way, tell me first, is Nalansi at home now?" Li Wenping asked hurriedly before Tian Ai could say anything.
"He...he's not here!" Li Tianai was hesitating whether he should tell Li Wenping the truth, but even if he told him, his father might not believe him.
"Not there? Then tell me his private number, and I'll go talk to him personally!"
"I... don't know his number." A wry smile appeared on his lips. How could Nalansi tell her his personal number.
"I don't know?" The voice on the phone couldn't hide the excitement, but soon it was replaced by a low-pitched plea, "Oh my God, Dad knows that there were many ways in which I felt sorry for your mother and you, but not now.
When our father and daughter were angry, the company was left by your grandfather, and you don’t want the company to declare bankruptcy from now on, right?! Dad, please, no one can help the Li family except your husband Nalansi now!"
"Dad...I...get it, I will try my best!"
After hanging up the phone, Tianai leaned his head weakly on the edge of the bed. If... he asked Nalansi, would he agree to help his father?
