That oath was vicious—a direct hit to Granny Guo's weak spot.
"Qin Mei!" Granny Guo shot up in a fury, rushing toward Qin Mei with surprising agility. Her eyes blazed with a tidal wave of anger.
"Granny Guo," Jie Jingchen warned, his voice cold. His gaze was chillingly menacing, and anger began to cloud his features. He grabbed Qin Mei's small hand and pulled her protectively behind him.
"Jing Si, your wife is a malicious woman!" Granny Guo accused, raising a wrinkled hand to point a trembling finger at Qin Mei.
"You're the one falsely accusing her." Jie Jingchen's voice was as sharp and cold as a blade. He showed no deference, despite Granny Guo's age. "You know perfectly well whether Qin Mei told you the baby's gender or not."
"I..." Granny Guo's confidence instantly evaporated. She would dare to swear on her own life, but she wouldn't risk her grandson's. She had to have a grandson to hold. If she went her whole life without one, she would never be able to rest in peace.
