Chapter 622: Truly Enough to Leave One Speechless

As soon as Liu's father straightened up, he saw his little daughter rushing in; seeing her head for his wife, he reached out and stopped her: "How old are you? You're so reckless every single day."

Chunxiao ignored what her father said, her eyes fixed on Liu's mother: "Mom, you're really pregnant? I'm going to have a younger brother or sister?"

Liu's mother looked embarrassed; after all, she was about to become a grandmother and was pregnant again, but since her little daughter had asked, she couldn't just brush her off, so she nodded lightly: "Mm."

Once it was confirmed, Chunxiao felt no excitement; instead, her face fell so long.

Seeing her little daughter's expression, Liu's mother asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Chunxiao stared at Liu's mother's belly, a hint of barely noticeable disgust flashing in her eyes, but the hypersensitive Liu Chuxue saw it clearly.

Liu Chuxue couldn't help but frown slightly.

She didn't know why Chunxiao had changed so much since the family split; to be honest, she simply couldn't bring herself to like her.

Hearing Liu's mother's question, Chunxiao quickly composed her expression: "Nothing, I'm just surprised by the news."

Fearing she might overthink it, Liu's mother said: "Since she's here, she's meant to be our child. Rest assured, whether it's a boy or a girl in my belly, you are all my children; I won't favor one over the other."

After a moment's thought, she added: "If by chance it's a boy, then you three sisters will have someone to rely on in the future; if it's a girl, she'll be someone to help out later. Either way, it's good."

Chunxiao said nothing, only nodding: "Mom, I'm going back to my room to do my homework."

Recalling what her little daughter had told her the day before—that she would study hard and find a job in the city like her second sister—she thought Chunxiao was finally starting to make an effort: "Alright, go quickly."

Back in her own room, Chunxiao tossed her schoolbag onto the desk and lay down on the kang.

Thinking of what those people had said today: "Chunxiao, whether your mother bears a boy or a girl, you're the one who loses out the most."

At first she had been angry, but then she heard what that person said next: "Think about it. If it's a boy, that's what your parents have always wanted; they'll surely treasure him, and you girls will naturally have to step aside. If, unfortunately, it's a girl, she's still the child your parents have waited for all these years. If they can't have any more children later, this one will be their youngest, and that weight is naturally something you can't compare to."

"As for your eldest sister, she's already married and is your parents' first child, so the bond is naturally different. And your second sister, while she might not have matched your eldest sister's status before, times have changed. Your second sister now has a formal job and even accompanied your father to the city to treat his leg; in your parents' hearts, her weight is certainly not light either."

She knew she shouldn't have believed those words, but the moment she entered the house just now, she happened to see her own mother smiling and stroking her belly; that expression truly made her feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Chuxue's hands kept moving, yet she extended her spiritual sense to follow Chunxiao into the room. Seeing her toss her schoolbag and lie down on the kang, frowning the whole time, she knew this person had probably dug herself into a corner again.

She didn't even know what to say; isn't life now better than before the split?

Why insist on thinking about all that nonsense? It's truly enough to leave one speechless.

If she keeps having this kind of temperament, there will be plenty of bitter days ahead.

On the other side, Fu Yan Cheng was carrying out an arrest operation with his teammates in the woods: "Ma Wuliang, take a squad and go left; I'll take a squad and go right. We'll surround them up ahead. Keep the noise down and don't let them spot us."
