Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Mu Chenggong originally wanted to save face for both of them, but he never expected Ye Jiang to be so fearless.
Taking advantage of her pregnancy, Ye Jiang stood up straight in front of Mu Chenggong, her voice no longer gentle and soft, but accusatory, "Old Mu, what's going on? Do you know about the hospital's decision regarding me? These people are incredibly audacious, actually trying to outsmart me. Old Mu, you can't ignore this. If they continue to treat you, the hospital director, with such disrespect, how are you going to manage the hospital in the future?"
Looking at Ye Jiang's face, Mu Chenggong felt immense regret.
I shouldn't have been so attracted to her youth and beauty. I thought she was easy to manipulate and control. I never imagined she was such an unreasonable and vain shrew at heart. No wonder Ouyang Changshan broke up with her after only a short time together.
Mu Chenggong's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a very normal tone, "Since the hospital has made a decision, there must be a reason for it. You just need to follow it."
Perhaps it was the pregnancy that stimulated her adrenaline, or perhaps it was the pregnancy that gave Ye Jiang the courage, but she suddenly raised her voice and angrily rebuked Mu Chenggong: "Mu Chenggong, are you a coward? People have treated your lover like this, and you can still be so calm. You can swallow this, but I can't."
Mu Chenggong laughed: "So what do you want?"
Ye Jiang: "Bring me all the people who made the decisions. I want to ask them myself what they really think."
Mu Chenggong retorted without any politeness, "Who do you think you are? A well-made decision won't change because of who you are. Ye Jiang, don't make things too ugly. Can't you save some face for yourself?"
Ye Jiang suddenly exploded, grabbed the water glass on Mu Chenggong's table and smashed it on the ground, then shrilly questioned Mu Chenggong: "Mu Chenggong, are you even a man? Your wife worked so hard to get pregnant and give birth to your child, and you, when others bully you, don't even know how to fight back. What use is a man like you to me?"
Mu Chenggong looked coldly at Ye Jiang and suddenly said, "You went through all that trouble to get pregnant and give birth? Ye Jiang, you should take responsibility for your own mistakes! I will file for divorce tomorrow."
It would have been better if Ye Jiang hadn't said those words; it would have been strange if Mu Chenggong could have tolerated them now that she had.
Ye Jiang was stunned. What had she just heard?
Mu Chenggong wants a divorce from her?
She tried so hard to have a child to solidify their marriage, but he wants a divorce.
What about all her efforts over the years?
She has been married to him for five years. What does five years mean?
Ye Jiang was going crazy, she was going crazy for this heartless man. She pushed the table in front of Mu Chenggong over, and the things on the table were scattered all over the floor with a clatter.
Mu Chenggong remained calm and composed, coldly watching Ye Jiang's tantrum as if she were an insignificant person.
Ye Jiang: "Mu Chenggong, you coward! You actually teamed up with others to bully your lover! You're not a man! If you don't resolve this for me, I won't let you off the hook!"
Mu Chenggong was so angry he laughed again. It was really tiring to communicate with someone who couldn't figure things out!
Mu Chenggong glanced at the onlookers, saw the head nurse, and waved to her.
The head nurse stepped forward and asked, "Director, do you need my help?"
Mu Chenggong: "Call her parents and have them come and take her away. If she causes any more trouble, call the police."
The nurse asked in surprise, "Director...?"
Mu Chenggong: "That's it. This isn't the place for her to throw a tantrum."
After finishing his sentence, Mu Chenggong didn't care what others thought; he picked up his luggage and left.
Ye Jiang couldn't believe her ears. Was Mu Chenggong really going to do this?
The head nurse didn't want to make things too awkward, since the two weren't divorced yet. If they really called the police and Ye Jiang's parents, their hospital would become a laughing stock.
Although the situation isn't much better right now, we'll try to reduce it as much as possible. What if the dean calms down in a few days and doesn't want a divorce anymore?
The dean is already on his second marriage; if he gets divorced again, it will be his third.
Divorce is extremely rare these days, let alone a third marriage.
Ye Jiang suddenly realized that she might have gone too far; she had been blinded by her newfound confidence.
Which man would be willing to lose face and be verbally abused in public?
What's more, this person is the head of a hospital.
Ye Jiang was scared; she felt that Mu Chenggong was really going to take this seriously.
The head nurse helped the person up and sat them on a stool, then chased away the onlookers, saying, "Everyone, disperse. There's nothing to see here. It's just a couple having a fight. If you're married, can you honestly say you've never had a fight with your spouse? The angry words said during a fight don't count. Everyone should keep their mouths shut and not spread rumors."
Most of the onlookers were hospital staff, and they were all given the courtesy they deserved, so they dispersed.
The head nurse closed the door, exasperated, and said, "Xiao Ye! What are you trying to do? This isn't how you live your life. Although our hospital director was divorced when he married you, he became director at a young age, and his medical skills are among the best in the country. And you? Although you're young, I'm not being blunt; there are plenty of people like you in Beijing. Be content! To put it bluntly, if our director divorced you, there would be plenty of girls who would want to marry him, but what about you? Think about it!"
Ye Jiang kept her head down, but she listened to everything the head nurse said.
She wasn't particularly stupid; she just always overestimated her importance in the other person's heart. She knew what divorce would mean for her.
She left the hospital like a zombie under everyone's scrutiny, needing to think carefully about how to appease Mu Chenggong.
Mu Chenggong is the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force. In the past, she could usually get through things by acting cute, although she would still sometimes give him a hard time.
What Ye Jiang is currently afraid of is her pregnancy.
Judging from today's situation, it may be true that the rumors circulating are true that he has had a vasectomy.
Ye Jiang felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.
If it's true, how can she win him back now?
Or should I lie and say I made a mistake and that I'm not actually pregnant?
However, after learning she was pregnant, she even had another check-up at her own hospital just to show off. This fact left her no room to lie anymore.
Ye Jiang regretted it. She shouldn't have listened to her mother. What man could tolerate betrayal?
As Ye Jiang was walking along the road, looking lost and dejected, Lin Ying's bicycle sped past her.
Ye Jiang stared blankly at Lin Ying's departing figure.
What happened to her? She was clearly incredibly lucky, meeting a man like Ouyang Changshan, who came from a good family and was outstanding, right after graduation. Yet, she ended up ruining her chances.
Whose fault is it?
I blame no one but myself for being incompetent and too greedy.
