Qin Mei grew uneasy. 'When did I ever tell Second Aunt that?'
"You didn't say so explicitly, but that's the impression I got. Plus, with my experience, I'm sure it's a boy. No doubt about it," Second Aunt said, her face wreathed in smiles.
Qin Mei was speechless. She slipped away without a word.
'Whatever Second Aunt guaranteed or promised Granny Guo is her own business. I didn't say a thing, so I'll just stick to my story and claim I don't know anything.'
Seeing Qin Mei return, the corners of Jie Jingchen's mouth lifted into a barely perceptible smile. "All settled?"
"I'm actually worried for Second Aunt," Qin Mei said, slumping down beside Jie Jingchen with her head lowered. "Once the baby's born, I bet Granny Guo is going to have her hide."
Jie Jingchen chuckled. "Don't you go borrowing trouble. This is Second Aunt's business. She has her ways, so you don't need to worry on her behalf."
Qin Mei gazed at Jie Jingchen. 'I really don't get what Second Aunt is trying to pull.'
