The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-321

Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo whirled around at the same time and found Lan Xin who had just gotten out of the car.

Lan Xin was dressed in a white gown with a small, simple shawl draped over her shoulders, likely because it was nearing autumn. Her long hair extended to her shoulders as a large pair of sunglasses covered her entire face.

However, when she saw the pair, Lan Xin slammed the car door shut, pulled off her glasses and walked towards them. “Luoluo, you’re here too, what a coincidence.” Lan Xin smiled.

The smell of antiseptic…

Chu Ningyi slowly looked up and stared at the woman who has just appeared in front of him.

Mixed-blood, the smell of antiseptic…

“Lan Xin, long time no see. When did you get back?” Chu Ningyi greeted emotionlessly.

Lan Xin stopped next to them. When she saw the little darling, she was instantly shocked but she only smiled and replied when she heard Chu Ningyi’s question. “I flew in this morning. I had rushed to the hospital immediately after I got off the plane.”

The morning flight?

A deep glint flashed across Chu Ningyi’s eyes. He then looked at Shui Anluo. “Do you know each other?”

Shui Anluo was still in shock over Lan Xin’s appearance. Lan Xin was attending the director’s seventieth birthday party and Chu Ningyi had also mentioned his grandmother’s seventieth birthday party.

This means that the director was also Chu Ningyi’s grandmother!

This realization was a little difficult for her to accept at the moment.

Why had he not said a thing when she had a dispute with Lin Qianchen?

“Luoluo? Luoluo?”

Lan Xin called out softly.

Shui Anluo immediately returned to her senses and looked at Lan Xin with a disoriented look in her eyes.

Chu Ningyi naturally knew what she was thinking. He had planned to reveal the old lady’s identity after she had accepted her but now, he suddenly could not bear to have the old lady torment her.

Because his heart would ache!

Shui Anluo remembered Chu Ningyi’s question, shook for a bit then replied, “Mm, we know each other, we met at the hospital this morning.” Shui Anluo had emphasized the word ‘hospital’ on purpose as if reminding Chu Ningyi of something.

Chu Ningyi cleared his throat. Naturally, he knew what she meant.

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, you’ve heard her name before,” Chu Ningyi calmly remarked.

Lan Xin stared at them curiously. “You’ve mentioned my name?”

Shui Anluo was also curious. She had never heard of Lan Xin’s existence before this day.

“Let’s talk inside instead of standing around at the door.” Chu Ningyi suggested and held Shui Anluo to leave a space so the other guests could walk in.

“Ya yi…” The little darling agreed with what his daddy had said. He did not like standing here.

Lan Xin smiled and walked inside without objection.

However, after Lan Xin had walked in, Shui Anluo was quickly pulled back by Chu Ningyi just as she was about to take a step. She then watched as Chu Ningyi called Uncle Chu.

“Uncle Chu, check something for me. Find out when Lan Xin had come back to the country and what time her return flight was,” Chu Ningyi instructed seriously. Lan Xin matched two of the characteristics that had been described by that woman. The only one that did not match was that she was not in ‘A’ City yesterday.

Shui Anluo felt even more curious, unsure of what he was doing.

Shui Anluo frowned and asked once Chu Ningyi had ended the call, “Why didn’t you tell me that she was your grandmother?” This made her feel as if she had been lied to.

Chu Ningyi put his phone away, raised his brow and escorted her inside. “I’ll explain this to you when we get home.”
