Hearing Meng Zihan's cold words, Meng Xueyun was stunned for a moment.
She sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her niece with heartache.
Meng Zihan lay on her back, the sheet pulled up to her chest, revealing half of her thin neck with visible veins.
Having just undergone surgery and lost too much blood, her face was as white as a sheet of paper soaked in cold water, with a pale, ashen appearance.
Even his lips had lost their color, leaving only a bluish-white ring.
My hair was stuck to my forehead, strands of it covered in cold sweat.
His eyes were dark and bluish-black, and there were fine dry lines at the corners of his eyes.
This image has lost even a trace of the vibrancy of a nineteen-year-old girl!
Meng Xueyun thought of Ye Linchen, who was the same age as her, and how youthful and vibrant he was.
Her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes shone like freshly washed grapes.
That brat has made a lot of money; she's probably at home right now, eating and drinking well and celebrating the Spring Festival.
But what about her Xiaohan?
She lost her child, her body was depleted, and she lay lifeless in her hospital bed.
Even if you get through this ordeal, how will you face the gossip and rumors from others after you are discharged from the hospital?
Looking at her niece in this state, Meng Xueyun felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She reached out and tucked Meng Zihan's hair behind her ear. Her fingertips touched Meng Zihan's cold forehead, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Xiaohan, you just had surgery, don't get emotional!" she quickly and gently comforted her. "I know you're upset, but everyone in the factory knows about your relationship. You can't just let it end so easily."
Upon hearing this, Meng Zihan broke down, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.
Meng Xueyun panicked and grabbed a tissue to wipe away her tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry. This is a miscarriage, which requires even more care than a full-term postpartum period! If you don't take good care of yourself and develop health problems, you'll be the one suffering!"
Meng Zihan didn't care about anything else; the more she wiped away her tears, the more they flowed, and she asked in a choked voice.
"Auntie, are you disgusted with me now? You were the one who stopped me from breaking up and moving back home, which is why I'm like this now! If you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have had a miscarriage!"
Is this an attempt to shift the blame for the miscarriage onto me?
Although Meng Xueyun felt uncomfortable listening to this, considering that she had just experienced such a big change, she still tried to reason with her.
“How could your aunt look down on you? The reason I didn’t let you break up was because I thought that Liu Mingxuan’s education level was what it was. Once this matter passed, even if he didn’t go out to work, he might still be valued by the factory.”
“How many graduate students do we have in our factory? Even if Feng Linlin and Gu Yifei graduated from university, they might not be able to pass the exam.”
"He's definitely going to have a bright future!"
“You’re living with him and you’re pregnant. Your reputation is already ruined. Even if you look again, you might not be able to find someone as good as him.”
Meng Xueyun had tried to persuade Meng Zihan countless times, but Meng Zihan just wouldn't listen.
She has been depressed ever since she learned that Liu Mingxuan had been demoted.
In her view, Liu Mingxuan becoming the factory director was her only chance to slap Ye Zhenghua in the face and surpass Ye Linchen.
Now that her hopes were dashed, she felt like the sky had fallen.
Liu Mingxuan thus lost his purpose.
In addition, Liu Mingxuan's salary decreased after his demotion, so the two of them together only earned a few hundred yuan.
They are not married now, and after moving out of the Elite Apartments, they will have to spend money to rent a place to live.
If I have children in the future, how will I manage to raise them?
Moreover, Liu Mingxuan's habit of spending money extravagantly has not changed at all.
After being demoted, she didn't know how to be frugal. She bought clothes, perfume, and hairspray for the house, and she was even more particular than her!
What she found even more unbearable was that Liu Mingxuan had advanced three months' salary before going to Haicheng, leaving her with no income for the next two months.
Not only does she pay for all their food, clothing, and daily necessities, but she also has to pay for their rent!
If Liu Mingxuan treated her well, that would be fine, but he does nothing at home all day and is always finding fault with her.
She was exhausted after a long day at work, and when she got home she still had to take care of him and watch his mood. She was really fed up with this kind of life!
She even felt that she was not as good as Meng Xueyun!
At least Ye Zhenghua brings money home every month. Although Meng Xueyun does all the housework, she didn't have to go out to work when she was young, so her life was much easier than Ye Zhenghua's!
Now that she's lost her child, she's determined to seize this opportunity to break up with Liu Mingxuan and never go back to that miserable life!
Why can't Meng Xueyun understand her? All she knows is to advise her to continue being with that bastard!
This is like treating her as a burden, wanting to get rid of her as far away as possible!
Meng Zihan cried harder and harder, struggling to sit up, repeatedly muttering, "I know, you just despise me, you just think I'm a disgrace to you!"
Meng Xueyun was terrified and quickly stopped her, then nervously looked at the IV tube.
"Don't move around, don't move around. If you knock the needle off, you'll have to get another injection."
"I'm barely surviving, how can I care about needles!" Meng Zihan cried.
Meng Xueyun sighed: "Xiaohan, your aunt really has no choice! You've seen what happened to your uncle. He's having an affair. I definitely can't live with him anymore. We'll have to get a divorce! Then, I don't even know who will get the house! My salary isn't high either. You'll definitely suffer if you stay with me. It's better for you to stay with Liu Mingxuan."
Meng Zihan, however, already had an idea.
She wiped away her tears and told Meng Xueyun about her plans.
"Auntie, Liu Mingxuan has spent all of his three months' salary, and now I'm the one supporting him! Why should I?"
"From now on, let's just live together. We both have salaries, so we can pool our money and spend it together."
"My uncle cheated on me, so we definitely can't give him the house. We should make him compensate us with the house!"
"Then, let him and Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei move out, and the two of us will live there! This place is so big, it'll be enough for us! There's a cafeteria for meals, and we can even save on our salaries!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Xueyun was tempted.
But when she thought of her two sons, she hesitated.
That's her own son, how could she drive him away?
Meng Zihan noticed Meng Xueyun's hesitation and continued to persuade her, "Auntie, Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei are closer to their cousin. If you keep them by your side, they might even resent you! Look, you sent them to look for their cousin, and they haven't even seen a trace of her yet!"
Meng Xueyun thought Meng Zihan's words made sense.
These two brats are becoming more and more like Ye Linchen, a pair of ingrates!
But she worried, "What if your uncle doesn't agree to move out?"
Meng Zihan's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her.
"Then go make a scene in the workshop! Put up banners! Say he has a chaotic private life and is having an affair with a temporary worker in the workshop!"
Meng Xueyun felt uncomfortable thinking about Ye Zhenghua's actions.
"I must have been blind! How could I have fallen for him!"
Seeing that Meng Xueyun's attitude had softened, Meng Zihan put her in another difficult position.
"Aunt, things have come to this point, you wouldn't still be reluctant to part with Uncle, would you?"
