Pei Ziheng's expression darkened, but he did not erupt in anger immediately.
Xia Ling did not say a word either and was, in fact, smirking internally as she listened. She wanted to see just how harsh they could get with their insults.
The elderly person had been reprimanding her for over 10 minutes and did not appear to be stopping anytime soon. Xia Ling wasn't afraid of the scolding, but she was worried about the baby inside her if she had to stand through this for an extended period. She intuitively glanced at Pei Ziheng, a subtle call for help.
Pei Ziheng was unhappy about her insistence on having this child, but that was their private matters and no one else should have to give her dirty looks for that. He coldly stopped the elderly person. "Enough."
