Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 84: Mother-in-Law Calls and Confirms in Public!

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Mother-in-Law Calls and Confirms in Public!

Gu Lan’s face instantly turned cold.

"Liu Minfang, who are you saying is fooling people?"

Liu Minfang let out a cold laugh and took a few steps forward.

"I didn’t mention any names."

Her gaze swept towards the surrounding military wives.

"But speaking of which, there are many fraudsters nowadays who just soak random roots and barks in wine and dare to claim it can cure illnesses."

"If someone drinks and something goes wrong, who’s going to be responsible?"

Several military wives exchanged looks.

Someone muttered softly, "That’s true... what if this folk remedy is poisonous..."

Gu Lan was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"You—"

"What about me?"

Liu Minfang crossed her arms, looking confident and fearless.

"I’m doing this for the good of your Gu Family! If your mother-in-law has a problem after drinking it, you won’t even have time to cry!"

"Besides..."

She changed her tone, her words becoming even more sarcastic.

"Your sister-in-law, a pampered daughter of a capitalist, what does she know about traditional Chinese medicine?"

"I think it was just a fluke last time when the medicinal wine worked."

"This time this bottle..."

She let out a derisive laugh.

"Who knows what kind of nonsense is soaked in there!"

The surrounding military wives whispered among themselves.

Gu Lan was so angry her eyes were red.

Just then.

A calm female voice rang out.

"Sister in law Liu."

The crowd automatically made way.

Lin Wan Yi, with her six-month pregnant belly, slowly walked over.

Her expression was very calm.

So calm it was unsettling.

Liu Minfang felt her heart skip a beat upon seeing her.

But she still forced herself to say, "Mr. Lin, I didn’t mention you, I’m just concerned about your mother-in-law’s health..."

"Concerned?"

Lin Wan Yi interrupted her.

"Then I thank you."

She paused for a moment.

"But since you’re so concerned about my mother-in-law, why not also think about your own family?"

Liu Minfang was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Wan Yi smiled a bit.

"I heard that your son got a demerit from school last month for fighting?"

Liu Minfang’s expression changed.

"This... what does this have to do with you!"

"Of course it matters."

Lin Wan Yi’s voice was gentle.

"Your son is at the bottom of his class, causing trouble every day."

"Yet instead of disciplining him at home, you’re here questioning others’ professional abilities."

"Sister in law Liu."

She looked at Liu Minfang.

"Do you think you have the right to do that?"

All the nearby military wives started to laugh.

Liu Minfang’s face turned beet red.

"You... don’t bring up my son!"

She was furious and humiliated.

"I just want to make sure whether your medicinal wine is real or not today!"

"If you can’t provide evidence, don’t blame me for reporting you to the command, claiming you’re deceiving the Gu Family with fake medicine!"

Lin Wan Yi remained silent.

She just looked quietly at Liu Minfang.

At that moment.

Wang Xiu’e and Sister Zhou also came over.

Wang Xiu’e’s face was very unpleasant.

"Liu Minfang!"

She pointed at Liu Minfang’s nose.

"Are you done yet?"

"Last time you slandered Wanyi in the cafeteria, I let it slide because of your husband!"

"And now you’re at it again?"

Sister Zhou also had a stern face.

"Liu Minfang, we’re all military wives, why are you targeting Wanyi?"

"I’m not targeting her!"

Liu Minfang remained stubborn.

"I’m just speaking the truth!"

"If she really has the ability, she should provide evidence!"

"Prove that her medicinal wine is real!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

An ear-piercing static sound came from the radio station in the military district compound.

Immediately after.

A male voice sounded.

"Comrade Gu Yanshen! Comrade Gu Yanshen!"

"Please immediately go to the communication room to take a long-distance call from Beijing!"

"Repeating! Comrade Gu Yanshen, please immediately go to the communication room to take a long-distance call from Beijing!"

Everyone was stunned.

Beijing?

Long-distance call?

Gu Lan’s eyes lit up.

"Is it a call from my mom?"

Lin Wan Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

At this time...

Could it be...

Just then.

Gu Yanshen walked out from the office building with big strides.

He walked directly to Lin Wan Yi and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Wait here for me."

With that, he turned and walked towards the communication room.

Everyone’s eyes followed him.

Liu Minfang’s face turned a little pale.

For some reason.

She had a bad premonition.

A few minutes later.

Gu Yanshen came out of the communication room.

His face showed no expression.

But his walking speed was evidently faster.

He walked straight to Lin Wan Yi.

"My mom wants to speak with you."

Lin Wan Yi was taken aback.

"Now?"

Gu Yanshen nodded.

"She’s waiting on the phone."

Lin Wan Yi took a deep breath.

With Gu Yanshen’s support, she walked towards the communication room.

Gu Lan quickly followed.

Liu Minfang and a group of military wives also followed.

The communication room was very small.

Lin Wan Yi picked up the receiver.

"Mom..."

On the other end of the line.

Mrs. Gu’s excited voice came through.

"Wanyi! Wanyi!"

"You child! You’re amazing!"

Lin Wan Yi was stunned.

"Mom, you..."

"The medicinal wine you sent!"

Mrs. Gu’s voice was trembling.

"I received it yesterday and had a drink last night!"

"This morning, when I got up, my leg, it didn’t hurt!"

"I... I can walk! I don’t need a cane anymore!"

"Wanyi, you are such a great benefactor to the Gu Family!"

In the reception room.

Everyone heard it.

Liu Minfang’s face turned deathly pale.

The other army wives widened their eyes.

Really?

Is the medicinal wine really effective?

And so effective?

Lin Wanyi held the phone, her eyes slightly warm.

"Mom, don’t get excited."

Her voice was very soft.

"This only warms the muscles and eases rheumatic pain."

"If you want a complete cure, you’ll need to combine it with other medicines and take it slow."

"Alright, alright, alright!"

Mrs. Gu agreed repeatedly.

"You tell me how to treat it, I’ll treat it that way!"

She paused.

"Wanyi, how... how is your health?"

"Are the twins doing well?"

"I heard from Yanshen that you want to go to college?"

"That’s great news!"

"But you must also take care of yourself, don’t overwork."

"Mom..."

Lin Wanyi’s nose tingled.

"I’ll be careful."

"That’s good then."

Mrs. Gu’s voice was full of relief.

"Wanyi, wait for us, your father and I will discuss it, and we’ll come back to see you soon."

"I must see my good daughter-in-law and my two precious grandchildren with my own eyes!"

The call ended.

The reception room was as still as death.

Everyone looked at Lin Wanyi.

Their eyes were full of shock and reverence.

Liu Minfang’s mouth hung open, unable to utter a word.

Her face was as white as paper.

Lin Wanyi turned around.

Her gaze calmly swept over everyone present.

Finally, it landed on Liu Minfang’s face.

"Sister-in-law Liu."

Her voice was very soft.

"You just said I was fooling the Gu Family with fake medicine?"

"And that you were going to report me to the regiment?"

Liu Minfang shivered all over.

"I... I..."

"Now."

Lin Wanyi interrupted her.

"My mother-in-law has personally confirmed the efficacy of the medicine."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Minfang’s lips quivered.

After a long time, she forced out a sentence.

"I... I just said it casually..."

"Casually?"

Gu Lan sneered.

"Liu Minfang, do you know the crime for slandering military families?"

"You’ve targeted my sister-in-law again and again; do you think the Gu Family is easy to bully?"

Wang Xiu’e also had a cold face.

"Liu Minfang, it seems you don’t want to stay in this compound."

"I’ll go to the commanding officer right now, and have your family transferred to the border!"

"No... please don’t!"

Liu Minfang’s legs went weak, almost bringing her to her knees.

"Mrs. Wang, I’m sorry! I really know I’m wrong!"

"I... I won’t dare again!"

Lin Wanyi looked at her.

She said nothing.

She just turned around and, supported by Gu Yanshen, walked out.

When they reached the door.

She stopped.

Without turning her head, she said.

"Sister-in-law Liu."

"This is the last time."

"Next time, I won’t give you another chance."

After saying that, she left the reception room.

Leaving Liu Minfang sitting paralyzed on the ground, her face covered in tears.

Back home.

Gu Yanshen helped Lin Wanyi sit down.

He poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her.

"Are you tired?"

Lin Wanyi shook her head.

She took a sip of water.

"Your mom said she wants to come back to see me?"

Gu Yanshen responded with a "hmm".

His expression was somewhat subtle.

"She’s overjoyed."

"Said she wants to see you and the kids with her own eyes."

Lin Wanyi put down the cup.

"Are you... not happy?"

Gu Yanshen was silent for a few seconds.

"If she does come back."

He looked at Lin Wanyi.

"Will you feel... uncomfortable?"

Lin Wanyi smiled.

"Why would I feel uncomfortable?"

"She’s your mom, also the children’s grandma."

"Her coming back to see us is a good thing."

Gu Yanshen’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

He reached out his hand.

Gently pressing on her slightly bulging belly.

"Wanyi."

His voice was very low.

"No matter what she says or does."

"If you feel unhappy, just tell me."

Lin Wanyi held his hand.

"Okay."

She looked at him.

"I’ll tell you everything."

Gu Yanshen’s eyes softened.

He lowered his head.

Planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Just then.

Gu Lan rushed in like a storm.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

Her face was flushed with excitement.

"Did you know? Liu Minfang just got beaten up by her husband!"

"She’s kneeling at the entrance of the compound, apologizing to you now!"

Lin Wanyi was startled.

"Apologizing?"

"That’s right!"

Gu Lan clapped her hands in delight.

"Her husband heard she messed with you again, he was so angry he slapped her twice!"

"Called her a pig-headed fool, daring to offend a doctor like you!"

"Now she’s kneeling at the gate, saying she wants to apologize to you personally!"
