A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

The two people walked into the CEO's office.

Li Xixue was the first to push open the office door.

Li Xiaochen was still sitting on the sofa when she saw the door open and the person who pushed it in, she immediately jumped up from the sofa.

"sister--"

Before Li Xiaochen could finish speaking...

Song Qiulan was the next one to walk in.

"Mom! What's wrong with you—"

Song Qiulan glanced at Li Xiaochen.

Li Xiaochen shrank back and immediately shut her mouth.

Li Xixue walked behind the desk and sat down.

Song Qiulan was right across from her, but she didn't rush to sit down.

She first placed the thermos on the table, opened the lid, and the aroma of pork rib soup wafted out.

Drink it while it's hot.

Li Xixue didn't move: "I won't drink."

Song Qiulan ignored her: "It doesn't matter whether you drink it or not, but my grandson needs to drink more nutritious food."

"???"

Li Xixue frowned and asked, "Mom, what brings you here today?"

Song Qiulan carefully arranged the soup bowls and placed the spoons beside them.

After completing these actions, she slowly sat down.

"Xiaoxue, tell your mother the truth."

After Song Qiulan sat down, she placed her hands on her knees with her hands folded over her knees, her expression very formal.

Just like attending a parent-teacher conference.

Li Xiaochen huddled in the corner of the sofa, wishing she could disappear into a cushion.

Li Xixue pushed the soup bowl aside: "Mom, just ask me whatever you want to ask."

Song Qiulan smiled but didn't ask directly.

She changed her approach.

"Mom came today mainly to talk to you about your recent health."

"I am in good health."

"Didn't you throw up this morning?"

"Didn't I tell you? It's a hangover. I drank last night!"

Li Xixue answered very seriously.

Song Qiulan hummed in agreement, then looked down at the flat shoes on Li Xixue's feet.

"Xiaoxue, why did you change your shoes today?"

Li Xixue's foot twitched slightly.

"Can't I just change it if I want to?"

"Sure, of course."

Song Qiulan nodded. "It's just a bit strange, why did they suddenly change it today?"

Li Xixue did not respond.

Song Qiulan was not in a hurry.

She picked up the lid of the soup bowl, slowly put it back on, and then opened it again.

"Where's Xiaoyang? Isn't he at the company today?"

"He has his own things to do."

"oh."

Song Qiulan responded, "Is he busy lately?"

"busy."

"What are you busy with?"

"Open a shop."

"Oh, opening a shop is good. A man should have his own career."

Song Qiulan was becoming increasingly satisfied with her son-in-law. She turned the thermos handle around and asked, "What did he do this morning?"

Li Xixue frowned slightly.

coming.

She's all too familiar with this way of asking questions.

Song Qiulan's usual tactic is to start by chatting about unimportant things to put people at ease, and then casually insert a crucial point.

Seeing this, Li Xiaochen, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that this was how his mother had tricked him into revealing his secrets step by step.

They promised to keep quiet, but now they've come straight to the company.

"He was home this morning," Li Xixue said.

"Have you been staying home the whole time?"

"Um."

"Never gone out?"

Li Xixue glanced at Song Qiulan and then laid her cards on the table.

"Mom, what exactly do you want to ask?"

Song Qiulan sighed, her expression shifting to one of distress.

"Mom doesn't want to beat around the bush, but you've never told anything to the family since you were little, so Mom has to figure it out herself."

Li Xixue remained silent.

Song Qiulan turned her head and glanced at Li Xiaochen, who was huddled in the corner.

Li Xiaochen hugged the pillow with both hands, burying her face behind it, only her eyes showing.

Those eyes were frantically sending signals to Li Xixue.

It roughly means: Sister, I really tried my best.

Li Xixue withdrew her gaze and looked at Song Qiulan.

"Mom, what did Xiaochen say to you?"

"He didn't say anything."

Li Xiaochen, sitting on the sofa, nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's right, I didn't say anything!"

Li Xixue ignored him.

Song Qiulan sat up straight, her expression changing.

Instead of pressing for details, she took a plastic bag out of her bag and placed it on the table.

Li Xixue glanced down.

Inside were two boxes of pregnancy tests.

Brand new.

"What is this?"

"I bought it at the pharmacy downstairs."

Song Qiulan said calmly, "Eight yuan a box, thirty-five yuan a box."

Li Xixue's face immediately tightened.

A brand.

One price.

This means that Song Qiulan not only knew that Lu Yang had bought pregnancy tests, but also knew where he bought them, how many boxes he bought, and how much he spent.

Her meaning was quite clear; she practically said whether you were pregnant or not.

Upon seeing this, Li Xixue slowly turned her head to look at the suspect, Li Xiaochen.

Li Xiaochen buried her entire face in the pillow, not daring to speak.

"Don't blame him, he really didn't say anything."

Song Qiulan also smoothed things over for him.

The biggest flaw of my son is that he can't lie.

"Yes, yes, I really didn't say anything!"

Li Xiaochen has an extremely strong will to survive.

Li Xixue said very seriously, "Mom, how many times have I told you? I'm not pregnant. I took a pregnancy test, and the result was negative!"

"So... you actually took the test?"

Song Qiulan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I'm not pregnant! I'm not pregnant, are you satisfied now!"

Li Xixue said somewhat impatiently.

Song Qiulan picked up the soup bowl and pushed it towards Li Xixue, "But... I heard that it's too early to measure this accurately."

Li Xixue paused for a moment.

No, where did she get this information from?

"I also checked online myself," Song Qiulan said.

Li Xixue's temples started throbbing again.

"So you came all the way to the company just to tell me this?"

"You won't even let me care anymore?"

Song Qiulan picked up a spoon and stirred the soup. "I just wanted to tell you that a wrong test once doesn't mean anything. Test it again in a few days."

"You don't need to worry about it."

"How could I not worry? You're my daughter."

Li Xixue rubbed her forehead, feeling incredibly annoyed.

It's all that wretched guy's fault; he got caught red-handed just for going downstairs to buy a pregnancy test.

Song Qiulan said gently, "Drink the soup first."

"I'm not thirsty."

What did you have for lunch?

"noodle."

Song Qiulan frowned. "How can you eat noodles! What if you don't get enough nutrition?"

"I'm not a patient."

"Your current physical condition requires even more attention than that of a patient!"

Li Xixue didn't want to argue with her anymore.

"Mom, you should go back first. I have a meeting this afternoon."

Song Qiulan did not move.

She sat in the chair, and her expression suddenly changed.

It wasn't the previous roundabout probing anymore; instead, it seemed like he had something to say but was hesitant.

"There's one more thing Mom needs to tell you."

"What is it?"

Song Qiulan took a breath.

"Your dad knows too, and he's on his way."
