The Old Man thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes as if recalling something, "I haven't been to the United States in all these years. According to Marco, there's a specialist there to accompany her, and Marco hasn't been there either. But I've never heard of any bad news, so she's probably still alive."
How light a favor.
Even if that woman had almost destroyed Marco's family, she had, after all, given birth to a son for the Manoban Family. Although she was at fault, her punishment was already sufficient. Twenty years of separation from her son and twenty years of insanity.
Jennie could finally understand Marco's cold personality. He was a man without a heart.
At this moment, Diana came down the stairs with a pot of withering flowers, as if she was looking for a way to save it. When she saw Jennie talking to the Old Man while playing chess, her eyes flashed, and she walked towards them with the flower pot.
Diana sweetly called out to the Old Man, "Grandfather, it's so late, you should go rest."
"I'm not sleepy yet. Diana, what happened to the flower in your hand?"
"I forgot to water it for a month. It's dried up." Diana then glanced at the teapot beside Jennie. Seeing Jennie trying to pour tea into the Old Man's empty cup, Diana suddenly smiled, put down the flower pot, and took the teapot from her. "Sis Jennie, you're pregnant."
As she spoke, Diana smiled merrily and poured tea for the Old Man.
Old Man didn't think too much of it and only felt a sense of gratification when he heard Diana call Jennie "Sister'.
Jennie, on the other hand, knew that Diana did this because she was afraid that she would steal the Old Man's heart.
She sighed.
Forget it, there was no need to argue in front of the Old Man. She wasn't an immature woman, just like Diana. But who was Diana?
Of course she wouldn't let this matter go just like that. After pouring tea for the Old Man, she poured another cup and placed it in front of Jennie. She said with a smile, "Sister, you have a drink too."
Jennie's gaze froze as she looked at Diana indifferently. Diana had just pushed the cup to her just like that. If she didn't accept it, she would be a petty person. But so what if she didn't want to drink it. What could Diana do to her?
Old Man Xian noticed something was wrong and immediately said, "Diana, Jennie can't drink tea right now. At most, she can only drink scented tea."
Diana hadn't expected the Old Man to speak. She tightened her grip on the teapot, but there was still a smile in her eyes. She hummed innocently and was about to put it down.
Jennie pushed the teacup with a calm smile on her face. "It's going to be the Spring Festival soon. You should be 24 years old by now, and you're no longer a child. How come you don't even know that pregnant women can't drink strong tea?"
Jennie gradually restrained her smile as she said, "I have a few books about pregnancy. I'll give you two at the same time and since you're about to get married, sooner or later, you'll need them as well. You need to know the taboos you should avoid, especially when it comes to tea. Who knows you will lose your child accidentally? After all, if you lose your own child, you'll know how painful it will be."
Jennie was warning Diana not to have a bad idea. The Old Man looked at the teacup Jennie had pushed, then looked at Diana's patient expression. He couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows, "Diana, you should go to sleep. If you think you can save the flower, then save it."
Diana bit her lips when she was how the Old Man sent her off so straightforwardly. She formed a fist with her hand hidden in her sleeve, turned around without a sound while hugging on the flower pot, then ran upstairs.
Before heading up to the second floor, she paused and whispered, "I will definitely save it."
With that, Diana quickly went upstairs again.
Jennie, on the other hand, was puzzled. She never thought Diana would actually have the leisure and elegance to raise a flower herself. She asked, "Grandfather, does Diana like planting flowers?"
"No, she only loves this pot of flower." The Old Man shook his head, "This potted flower was bought by Lisa after he returned home. Diana pestered him to go to the Flower Bird Fish Market with her at that time. Originally, she wanted to buy a small bird to play with, but she took a fancy to this potted four-leaf flower."
"Diana said that this was her lucky flower, so Lisa bought this potted four-leaf flower for her. After all these years, she learned how to grow flowers herself, and finally, she managed to let this potted flower live for so many years."
At this point, the Old Man suddenly laughed in a low tone. "Spoiled girl, you can't blame grandpa for favoring Diana every now and then, can you?"
"Grandpa's heart isn't biased. After all, Diana was raised by you personally. She is no different from your own granddaughter. It is natural for you to dote on her. How can I blame you?" Jennie smiled.
Actually, when Diana had served her tea earlier, Jennie already knew what Diana was thinking, but she didn't want to expose her in front of the Old Man. But she didn't expect the Old Man to "remind" Diana. Otherwise, if Diana really did this, Jennie would ruthlessly beat her up.
When Jennie returned to her room, Lisa was standing on the balcony, answering the call. However, when she entered the room, he hung up at the same time and walked over with a smile as he glanced back at her.
"You went to play chess with the Old Man?" His voice was warm and light as usual.
"How do you know I'm playing chess with the Old Man?"
"I saw it when I went downstairs, but I had to pick up the phone at the last minute and went back to our room." Lisa smiled.
Jennie took off her coat and hung it on the side. She looked at his phone and then looked up at him.
She would not make wild guesses. Moreover, if it was Bella on the phone, Jennie knew that Lisa would definitely tell her. However, seeing the calmness in his eyes, yet seemingly having something on his mind, she could not help but think of other things.
Especially GD's call he received this afternoon.
"Did the Old Man and mom know about Somi's pregnancy?" She asked softly.
"They don't know yet, but Somi can't hide it anymore." Lisa's voice was calm, but his eyes were serious. "She will come back tomorrow. There will be a conclusion to this matter."
"Did GD know about this?"
Lisa pursed his lips. His serious expression was slightly warmed by Jennie's presence. In the end, he nodded his head lightly.
No wonder GD hadn't appeared for so long. No wonder he didn't call again to tease her and didn't appear in front of her from time to time.
However, Jennie was more worried about Somi's situation now. Judging by the time, Somi's fetus should be close to five months, but no matter how hard she tried to hide it, with so many people coming and going around her, she couldn't just lock herself up and not see anyone.
Could Somi's child still be kept? GD's personality had always been unpredictable. Jennie wasn't sure what choice he would make. She only hoped that he definitely wouldn't do anything that would hurt Somi.
