My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

Chapter 106: The tense relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xingran's voice was filled with endless sobs and despair, like the starlight swallowed by the darkness, weak and powerless.

Qiao Qin's heart suddenly tightened, her brows knitted, and a layer of frost covered her face. Although she didn't know what happened exactly, she could feel the heavy sadness just from Lin Xingran's sobbing words.

Bo Zhili actually made the pregnant Xiao Ran so heartbroken. Qiao Qin felt an indescribable anger and regret in her heart. She knew that she should not have agreed to let them be together so easily.

"Don't cry or get excited. I'll be there soon." Qiao Qin took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound firmer and warmer.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Qin quickly packed up and hurried out the door.

Half an hour passed quietly, and Qiao Qin finally arrived at the luxurious villa that Huo Yan gave to Lin Xingran.

This villa is magnificent and covers a large area. The five-story building shines in the sun like a small palace. The internal facilities are complete, with audio-visual rooms, swimming pools, gyms, and a well-designed garden, full of vitality.

However, when Qiao Qin pressed the doorbell, the scene before her shocked her.

The door slowly opened, and a large family came into view, with laughter and joy, and it was very lively. Qiao Qin stood there in a daze, with confusion and doubt in his eyes.

Why are there so many people?

There was a subtle embarrassment in Bo Yufen's eyes. When she looked at Qiao Qin, there was a hint of deliberate flattery in her eyes, and her voice was soft and delicate: "I happened to be free today, so I came to visit Zhili and also to see the new life that is about to be born into our Bo family."

Qiao Qin smiled slightly, but her eyes revealed a bit of sharpness. She looked around and found that several people were wearing comfortable pajamas, and they had obviously stayed in the villa for a while. However, she did not get angry immediately, but slowly retracted her gaze and maintained a decent demeanor.

"The main reason I came here this time is to see Xiao Ran." Qiao Qin's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

A trace of reluctance flashed across Bo Yufen's face, as if she didn't want Qiao Qin to meet Xiao Ran. She frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What a coincidence, Xiao Ran just went to bed. As you know, she is still pregnant and needs more rest."

Before he finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from upstairs, hitting the floor as densely as raindrops.

"Xiaoqin, I'm here."

The voice coming from the ceiling above her head revealed a sense of urgency and worry. Qiao Qin looked up and saw Lin Xingran's face. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if they had been ruthlessly kneaded by time and worries, and the fatigue and haggardness on her face were as obvious as a leaf hit by frost.

A trace of heartache flashed across Qiao Qin's eyes, but she didn't linger for too long. She passed by Bo Yufen, who was looking gloomy, and walked upstairs with firm steps. Following Lin Xingran's figure, she walked into the room that belonged to Lin Xingran, and then gently closed the door.

Once the door was closed, it seemed as if all the disturbances from the outside world were cut off. Qiao Qin looked directly at Lin Xingran, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionable determination: "Tell me, what happened?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xingran seemed to have found a solid backing. The grievances in her heart were like a flood that broke through the dam, and her tears fell like pearls that had broken off the string.

"Wow... My life is so miserable." She choked, her voice filled with endless complaints. "Since a month ago, that old witch Bo Yufen suddenly broke into my life as a mother-in-law and moved into our villa. Since then, I have become a 'sinner' in her mouth. I can't eat this, I can't touch that, as if I will poison her precious grandson at any time. I endured it. After all, she is an elder, and I try not to care."

Lin Xingran took a deep breath and continued, "But who knew that this was just the beginning. Then, people from the Bo family moved in one after another and treated our home as their own. They behaved as if this was their territory and I was the outsider."

Qiao Qin frowned, and a barely perceptible rage flashed in her deep eyes.

"Where is Bo Zhili now?" Her voice was low and cold, and every word was as sharp as an ice cone, striking directly at the heart.

Lin Xingran sighed and lowered her head, trying to hide her inner fluctuations. She tried to play the role of a considerate wife, but she couldn't suppress the grievance and helplessness that surged in her heart. She said softly: "The company has been busy recently. I asked him to concentrate on his work and not worry about me."

However, although she tried hard to maintain her calm appearance, her moist eyes revealed her true emotions.

Qiao Qin had no worries about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Looking at Lin Xingran's tearful eyes, an indescribable determination surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with determination, and said to Lin Xingran softly but firmly: "Xingran, don't worry, I will never let you suffer such grievances again. Just stand beside me and watch quietly, and don't say anything."

Lin Xingran's tears seemed to be frozen by Qiao Qin's words. She blinked her wet eyes and asked in disbelief, "Xiao Qin, are you... are you telling the truth?"

Qiao Qin smiled slightly, that smile was full of warmth and strength. She reached out her hand and gently stroked Lin Xingran's hair, as if she was comforting a frightened deer: "Xingran, when have I ever lied to you? Believe me, after today, that so-called 'old witch' will never dare to embarrass you in the slightest."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Lin Xingran's eyes, and she held Qiao Qin's hand tightly, as if at this moment, she had found the most solid support.

After a moment of silence, the door slowly opened with an almost audible sound, and two figures emerged. They just appeared at the corner of the stairs.

The laughter and joy that originally filled the living room suddenly became silent as if swept away by a sudden cold wind. All pairs of eyes focused on the two of them.

Bo Yufen unconsciously clenched her hands, and her tone was filled with some unnatural concern, as if she was trying to hide her inner uneasiness: "Xiao Ran, why are your eyes so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
