Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 603 - 598: The Mother and Daughter’s Suspicions (Third Update)

Fang Pingying saw this and knew that Luo Dashan had misunderstood, so she immediately pushed the money back and said, "Zhiyong gave me the money before he left, and besides, you don’t need to worry about the money, I will settle it with him."

Luo Dashan’s only US$ 100 was from the division of the family’s assets from Zhou Yunmei, and Fang Pingying would definitely not accept it. Lately, with Luo Zhiyong not around, the elderly always need some pocket money.

When Luo Honglan saw this, she hurriedly said to Luo Dashan, "Yes, Dad, my elder brother and I will handle the money matters. You don’t need to worry about it. Keep that money in your pocket, and if you see something you like when you’re out, just buy it with your own money. If you run out, remember to tell me. From now on, I’ll manage your spending money."

After speaking, Luo Honglan neatly folded the money and put it into Luo Dashan’s inner pocket.

Seeing this, Luo Dashan could not insist any further, nodded, and accepted it.

Fang Pingying chuckled and gave Luo Honglan a few instructions before leaving the doorway.

Li Yuchun spent the day helping to tidy Luo Dashan’s house and even cooked them lunch. Seeing Fang Pingying about to leave, she immediately picked up Haohao and handed him over to Fang Pingying, "Pingying, I’ll go with you. I’ll help you watch Ruirui and the others over there."

Haohao grinned at Fang Pingying and immediately reached out his little hands, "Auntie, hug."

Fang Pingying smiled as well, lifting Haohao into her arms and gave him a kiss on the face, then pointed at his bandaged hand and asked, "Does your little hand still hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Haohao immediately said, "It hurts."

After saying this, the little guy even blew on his own hand and then passed it to Fang Pingying, wanting her to blow on it too.

Fang Pingying humored him and gently blew on his hand, softly teaching him, "Haohao must remember from now on not to place his hand by the door, otherwise, it will get caught by the door and Haohao will have to get shots and take medicine just like this time."

As soon as he heard about getting shots, the little guy clapped and promptly pouted, "Don’t want."

Seeing the cute display of the little guy, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but laugh again, and noticing Fang Pingying laughing, Haohao also followed suit with a happy smile.

Pingying wasn’t sure if it was because she had been glancing at Luo Zhiming more on this trip back, or if it was her own illusion, but she thought Haohao’s smile looked somewhat like Luo Zhiming’s, especially those eyes, which were indeed like Luo Zhiming’s.

Luo Zhiming’s appearance was somewhat similar to Luo Zhiyong’s, but their eyes were not much alike.

Luo Zhiyong’s eyes were big and dark, exuding great vigor, while Luo Zhiming had enticing, slender, and long, peach blossom-shaped eyes.

Haohao, because of his chubby build, didn’t appear to have eyes as large as Luo Zhiming, but if he were to thin down, his eyes would definitely resemble Luo Zhiming’s.

Could it be that this little guy is really Luo Zhiming’s child, and not that scumbag’s?

Does Luo Zhiming have such good luck to have a cute child like Haohao?

Li Yuchun locked the door, saw Fang Pingying spacing out, called her a few times without response, so she gently tapped her shoulder and asked, "Are you too tired these days? If you are, once you go back, take a good rest. I’ll watch over Ruirui and Yaoyao."

Fang Pingying snapped back to reality, took Li Yuchun down the stairs, and then whispered, "Mom, who do you think Haohao resembles?"

Li Yuchun didn’t pay much attention and said casually, "He looks like Xiu’er, right? Xiu’er was just like this when she was little, chubby as a ball, and only slimmed down as she grew up."

Fang Pingying shook her head, leaned in and whispered, "Don’t you think his eyes are exactly like Luo Zhiming’s?"

"Don’t talk nonsense." Li Yuchun paused for a moment, then looked at Haohao again. Without a comparison, Li Yuchun wasn’t sure, but recalling Luo Zhiming’s health, she decisively shook her head, "Luo Zhiming simply can’t have children."

"No, Xu He is also pregnant," Fang Pingying spoke as she saw Li Yuchun about to interrupt. She knew Li Yuchun was aware of the affair between Xu He and Shuanzi, and might argue that Xu He’s child wasn’t Luo Zhiming’s. Fang Pingying continued, "She’s been pregnant for two months now, the child should be Luo Zhiming’s."

"Really?" Li Yuchun looked at Fang Pingying with disbelief.

Fang Pingying nodded, saying she was sure because on the day when they were building the wall at home, Zhou Yunmei was showing off as if to say Luo Zhiming was having a child, and she detailed everything about the child, nearly announcing it to the whole world.

Fang Pingying knew Zhou Yunmei well; if she hadn’t confirmed that Xu He’s child was Luo Zhiming, she would never have been so high-profile.

Li Yuchun started to suspect after hearing Fang Pingying’s words, but suddenly she had a flash of insight and spotted a flaw, saying, "That’s not right. If she’s been pregnant for two months, why would Xu He come here to ask Zhiyong for a donor?"

Li Yuchun’s words led Fang Pingying to an epiphany, but she still found it hard to believe that Xu He would be so audacious. She hesitantly tried to make excuses for Xu He, "Maybe because it’s her first child, she overlooked it."

Li Yuchun scoffed, "Would she really? Not to mention anything else, just considering a woman’s periods, wouldn’t she be alert after two months? How could she just overlook it? Think about it, when did you first find out you were pregnant with Ruirui and the siblings?"

"Yes, logically, she wouldn’t overlook it." Fang Pingying also felt it was strange if someone didn’t know they were pregnant after two months, especially in the case of Xu He and Luo Zhiming, who were surely eagerly waiting for a child and would be more sensitive than the average person.

Li Yuchun thought for a moment, looked around to make sure nobody was nearby, and whispered, "Don’t accuse me of being heartless, but I think Luo Zhiming is utterly useless, and he probably won’t have children in this lifetime. As for the child in Xu He’s belly, it’s very likely some other man’s. Xu He probably knew she was pregnant all along and purposefully came here to pretend to ask for a donor, just to deceive Zhou Yunmei."

Li Yuchun’s words made Fang Pingying nearly certain, as everything seemed to make sense now.

Fang Pingying even boldly speculated that the child in Xu He’s belly wasn’t two months old at all, and could very well be the loan shark Shuanzi’s.

Although, on the night that Xu He and Shuanzi were together, they didn’t say anything and appeared to be not very familiar with each other, but Fang Pingying found it strange. If they really didn’t have any relationship, why would Shuanzi specifically go after Xu He?

While it’s true that Xu He is good-looking, there are many more attractive people in the city than Xu He. Could Shuanzi really be so desperate to the point of planning meticulously just to sleep with Xu He at the inn for one night?

With such conjectures, Fang Pingying sighed. The Luo Family was truly being thrown into greater chaos by Xu He. If Zhou Yunmei and Luo Zhiming continued like this, who knows when Xu He would play them to death.
