"Ma'am, you're holding out on me!"
Gu Jiaojiao stared at the woman in front of her, who was desperately trying to hide a girl behind her back. Her smile was friendly, yet it didn't quite reach her eyes.
The woman was so terrified that the hairs on her arms stood on end. "Jiao—Jiaojiao, please don't be like this. I... I know I was wrong."
Seeing that the woman was on the verge of tears, Gu Jiaojiao finally turned her gaze elsewhere. "I heard Aunt Wu had five children in seven years. Surely, this daughter of hers is just as capable of bearing sons. Let me have a look. Let's see what she looks like."
Aunt Wu was left completely speechless.
"No, no, that's just... that's just people flattering me," Aunt Wu stammered. "Actually, I can't bear children at all. I really can't."
