Qin Mei's expression soured, and she clenched her jaw. "I don't know."

"It's a girl?" Jie Jingchen asked in a low voice.
Qin Mei tilted her head, gazing at Jie Jingchen. She touched her cheek and asked, "Is it that obvious?"
Jie Jingchen said nothing. Qin Mei's reaction was answer enough.
"Jie Jingchen, Granny Guo isn't going to force Su Kexin to go to the hospital to..." Qin Mei couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. 'It's too cruel.'
"Probably not." But Jie Jingchen wasn't sure either.
