Chapter 463: Chapter 463
At first, Bai Xue sat on the floor cursing, and some people could still go over to persuade her a bit; even Shen Bin and Zhao Guodong went over to pull her away, but Bai Xue is that kind of person—the more you try to control her, the more she creates a scene. Moreover, she cursed the ancestors of the Zhao Family in front of Mrs. Zhao. After a while, people saw no effect in persuading her and could only retreat to the side.
Since learning that Ye Qian could not keep the baby, Wu Mengyi had sat there in a daze, directly ignoring Bai Xue crying and making a fuss.
Zhao Guodong felt guilty, angry, and blamed himself, an indescribable mix of emotions. He started to persuade Bai Xue but was slapped by her at first, leaving him with a swollen face, retreating to stand aside without speaking.
In the corridor, apart from Bai Xue’s cries, there was no other noise. A young nurse came over to check initially and helped to persuade as well, but seeing Bai Xue’s fierceness, she couldn’t handle it and stayed away.
Eventually, no one attempted to persuade her anymore, but Bai Xue slowly quietened down, just sitting on the floor, occasionally wiping tears and sniffing.
The light in the operating room finally went out, and everyone crowded at the door. Bai Xue also got up from the ground; only Wu Mengyi stayed seated in the chair, staring straight at the door. Then they saw the door open, and Ye Qian was wheeled out.
"Qianqian, tell mom how you’re doing now? Don’t be sad; you can always have another baby later. Take care of your body, you must not get sick." Bai Xue rushed up first, being Ye Qian’s mother, naturally, people let her go first.
Mrs. Zhao stood aside, looking embarrassed, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start, just standing there rubbing her hands. Zhao Guodong supported his grandmother, looking at Ye Qian quietly without speaking.
Nurses supported Ye Qian, her face pale. Even though it wasn’t a late stage, she was nearly 3 months pregnant, and losing the baby was like having a small confinement.
"Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." Ye Qian forced a smile to comfort her mother, while quietly looking at Shen Bin, their eyes met, tears welled in her eyes but did not fall.
Before she could say more, Wu Mengyi rushed forward, madly grabbing Ye Qian, "You say you know what you’re doing, if so, how did this child get lost? Why didn’t you keep your distance from the Shen Family troubles, knowing they’re always like that. Did you deliberately not want this child?"
"How can you say this, in-law? How could Ye Qian not want this child? She’s the saddest one right now, saying that makes her feel even worse." Bai Xue was unhappy about Wu Mengyi’s words and glared at her.
Ye Qian stood there, face pale, body trembling slightly without making a sound.
Wu Mengyi laughed coldly, "Ever since she got pregnant, what has she done? We wanted her to stay home and rest without working, but she didn’t. Secretly contacting Zhiyuan, if he talks to me, fine, I don’t want any conflict between them, so I agreed. But she applied to experience life at Da XingAn Ridge. Doesn’t she see her own condition? If I hadn’t arranged things well, stopping any reassignment, she might be over there now, and the child may have been lost earlier."
Talking about this, Wu Mengyi’s anger surged, "Now that she kept the child in her belly, she stirred things up, and now the child’s gone. You see what she’s done, did she really want this child?"
Wu Mengyi’s accusations came one after another, leaving Bai Xue speechless. Ye Qian trembled, and if not for the nurse and Bai Xue supporting her, she would have fallen. Content originally comes from NoveI[F]ire.net
"Aunt, can we talk about this after returning to the ward?" Shen Bin tried to mediate from the side.
Wu Mengyi coldly scanned everyone present without speaking, turned, and left, while Bai Xue’s blaming voice could be heard from behind.
"Look, look, how imposing the Liu Family is! When the miscarriage happened, not a word of concern, just pushing the blame onto others. I wonder what kind of grievances my daughter suffers in their family!" Finished with her rant, Bai Xue turned to Zhao Guodong, "A perfectly good child, gone just like that because of you! Zhao Guodong, how will your Zhao Family take responsibility? The Liu Family is already angry, blaming my daughter. If she’s not having a good time, none of you will either."
Bai Xue has always been unreasonable, and now with such a big issue, how could she stay quiet? Plus, with her temperament formed over the years, Bai Xue pays no heed to appearances anymore, unlike when living in the compound.
Zhao Guodong remained silent; he had never faced such a situation and didn’t know how to respond or compensate. Unless Ye Qian has another child, could he find another somewhere to give them? Even if he could, the Liu Family wouldn’t accept it.
Without a solution in mind, Zhao Guodong could only stand there, silently bowed.
Previously, Bai Xue had cursed the Zhao ancestors, so Mrs. Zhao wasn’t cordial to her, "What now, are we to shove the child back into Ye Qian’s belly? If you care about your daughter, get her to the ward first. Look at her face, like paper; do you care about her, truly or falsely?"
Bai Xue wanted to respond further but, meeting Mrs. Zhao’s gaze, she lacked the confidence and looked down, turning to her daughter’s pale face, tenderly helping her to the ward. After Ye Qian lay on the bed, she glanced at Shen Bin.
"Brother-in-law, don’t overthink. I’m fine. This child wasn’t meant to be; no one’s to blame but myself. Don’t feel bad." Ye Qian spoke, forcing a bitter smile, "As for my mother-in-law, she can be angry all she wants; the child is gone. If their family doesn’t want me as a daughter-in-law because of this, then let’s divorce."
Zhao Guodong already felt guilty, and hearing Ye Qian blame herself without accusing him, made him feel even worse.
"Ye Qian, don’t worry, I’ll go find Liu Zhiyuan now." With that, he left the ward, not waiting for anyone to call him back.
