Chapter 1242 - 391: Buying People_2
Liu Tinglan nodded, taking in the words she’d heard. Although she didn’t relish the idea of matching wits with Lu Zhu, if it meant eliminating a potential threat to her child, what was wrong with playing the villain just this once?
Previously, Liu Tinglan had not wanted to bother with Lu Zhu, considering her no more troublesome than a fly, one she would rather not swat for fear of the mess. But now, with the fly posing a potential threat to her child, she was not about to let things slide.
A few days later, noting the fine weather and hearing that the chrysanthemums in the courtyard were in full bloom, she went for a walk there, accompanied by Mother Lv, and happened to encounter Lu Zhu who was also there to appreciate the flowers.
Midway through their outing, Liu Tinglan felt thirsty, and Mother Lv went to fetch her some tea. By the time Mother Lv returned, she witnessed Lu Zhu pushing Liu Tinglan to the ground.
In the aftermath, Liu Tinglan, who had suffered a shock to her pregnancy, was diagnosed by the Doctor with twins, while Lu Zhu was dispatched to the ancestral home by orders of the disappointed and angry Elderly Couple of Shen Family, with the clear command that she was never to set foot in the Shen family’s residence again!
"Oh, there’s another thing I need to tell you about." Suddenly recalling something she hadn’t mentioned, Mo Yan rose and walked toward the window under Liu Tinglan’s curious gaze and beckoned towards a tree outside.
Liu Tinglan heard a piercing cry of a bird and then saw an eagle appear, its long talons firmly grasping her friend’s slender arm, while a pair of scrutinizing eagle eyes shot a look directly at her.
"Yanyan, is this, this your pet?" Liu Tinglan had seen eagles before, but it was the first time she had seen Mo Yan with one, and she was extremely surprised.
"Sort of." Mo Yan sat down again with the eagle near Liu Tinglan, stroking the sleek feathers on the eagle as she said, "It’s quite intelligent, flies very fast, and I plan to leave it with you. If you have any message, write it and have it sent by the eagle. If you are in urgent trouble, I can be informed immediately."
The sudden realization that her friend had gone to such lengths for her touched Liu Tinglan so deeply she nearly wished she could pledge herself to Mo Yan in gratitude. She pounded on the bed, wailing, "Why must you be a woman? If you were a man, where would Brother Jin stand a chance!"
Between laughter and tears, Mo Yan retorted without mercy, "It’s fortunate I am a woman, or I’d be tormented to death if you clung to me."
