Never Fall in Love With Someone Like Me 15
“No, she didn’t,” Huo Mian said calmly.
The twins looked surprised. After all, who else would tell on them?
“Auntie, did you do it?” Little Bean turned to look at Lu Yan.
“Do you think so low of your auntie? Telling on people?” Lu Yan looked disgusted.
“Mom, how did you know it?” Pudding was puzzled.
If Zeng Rou didn’t do it, no one among these people would tell on them.
“I saw it on the surveillance cameras in the hospital,” Huo Mian said calmly.
“Surveillance cameras?” Little Bean was surprised.
Pudding understood suddenly. “Oh. I got it. Mom went to take Auntie out of the hospital and found she was gone. So she pulled out the surveillance records and heard our conversation at the door of the ward.”
“Right.” Huo Mian nodded.
“It seems we misunderstood Auntie Zeng Rou. We thought it was her,” Little Bean bit on her lip and said in a small voice.
“It doesn’t matter if she told on you guys or not; I must warn you to stay out of Su Yu’s business.” Huo Mian still looked stern.
“Mom…” Little Bean began to play cute.
“Don’t cozy up to me. I’m talking about a serious issue. Don’t you think you’ve done more than enough?” Huo Mian’s expression was cold.
“That’s because we regard Captain Su as part of our family, just as he regards us as his family,” Little Bean argued.
“But even as a family member, you must give him some privacy. Even your Grandpa and Grandma Su didn’t intervene… But you guys kicked up a fuss.”
The twins lowered their heads at their mom’s reprimanding.
“About the incident of breakfast, this is my first and last warning. You must know how to behave yourselves in the future.”
That said, Huo Mian glanced out of the window. “We’re at the school. Now get out of the car.”
“Mom, goodbye; Auntie, goodbye.” Dispirited, Little Bean got out of the car with her schoolbag.
“Mom, goodbye; Auntie, goodbye.” Pudding looked mopey since she couldn’t see the issue from her mom’s perspective and thought her mom was too harsh with them.
After the kids were out of the car, Lu Yan leaned over and took Huo Mian’s arm.
“Sis, you… were a bit too harsh with them.”
“I wasn’t.”
“I think you scared them.” Lu Yan’s heart ached for the little two.
“Miss Lu Yan, don’t be fooled by them. They are full of tricks; they pretended to look pathetic to gain my pity, so I won’t continue the lecture. Do you think they’re truly afraid?”
“Um… The people in your family are deep.” Lu Yan thought this family of four was complicated enough; she wondered what an uproar it would be after the baby comes out.
“Yeah. It’s not easy to teach kids. Since I brought them into this world, I must teach them how to behave instead of letting them do whatever they want. I don’t want them to grow into spoiled girls without consideration for others. People would blame me for not teaching them.”
“Whoa. Calm down. Sis, you’re not old, so don’t talk like an old lady, okay? It’s irritating to hear that tone… Let’s not talk about them. Just take me to do the check…”
Lu Yan didn’t want to talk about how to raise kids since she didn’t know how to maintain a relationship yet.
At South Side, Huo Mian did a thorough check on Lu Yan and let her go after making sure she was fine.
Sometime later, Zeng Rou also arrived.
She had come alone in a taxi, which surprised Huo Mian since she thought Su Yu would come with her.
“Dr. Huo, it’s me.” Zeng Rou knocked on the door.
