"At Granny's birthday party yesterday, Aunt Lin and I got into an argument," Xu Chunyan said, feigning sorrow. "Granny fainted from anger, while An Lin's wife and Teacher Lin both suffered pregnancy scares. I felt so guilty that I tossed and turned all night. Today, after dropping Xiao You off at school, I took a leave of absence from work and went straight to the Lin Family to apologize. Only then did I find out..."
She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.
"Aunt Lin, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I never should have brought Xiao You to Granny's birthday party yesterday." Looking at Li Axiu, Xu Chunyan's apology seemed incredibly sincere.
Li Axiu didn't take her anger out on Xu Chunyan. Instead, she glared at Qin Mei with sheer abhorrence.
"Xiao Mei, you need to mentally prepare yourself," Mrs. Xie warned her indignantly. "Lin Yaru woke up and insisted that you were the one who force-fed her the medicine."
