Qin Qiaolian placed the food on the table, and seeing that Shi Wan hadn't come out yet, she asked with concern, "Wanwan, are you not ready yet?"
Remembering that Shi Yu had called her during the day to say that Shi Wan was sick and would have surgery the day after tomorrow, Qin Qiaolian couldn't help but feel even more anxious and worried.
It's so serious that surgery is needed, so it must be no minor illness. This girl must be hiding the truth from them so they won't worry.
Thinking of this, Qin Qiaolian walked over with a pained expression, patted the door, and softly called out, "Wanwan, are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing Qin Qiaolian's call, Shi Wan quickly stood up, took a deep breath, and forced a smile: "I'm not feeling unwell, I'll be fine soon. You and Xiaoyu eat first."
"We're waiting for you."
After calming down, Shi Wan opened the bathroom door, walked to the dining table, and sat down with a smile. "Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
After speaking, Shi Wan looked at Shi Yu. Shi Yu received Shi Wan's gaze and guiltily looked away.
Shi Yu's initial intention was also to worry about Shi Wan. She was sick, and it would be good for her mother to take care of her for a couple of days. During this time, Shi Yu was managing the company that Shi Wan had previously transferred to him. After the surgery, she really couldn't find the time to take care of Shi Wan every day, so she only called her mother during the day.
Qin Qiaolian wasn't telling the truth. While serving Shi Wan some food, she said, "I came because I missed you. If Xiao Yu hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have been able to find it. Why don't you live at home and instead live in this rented room by yourself?"
Qin Qiaolian had already checked before she arrived; there were no men's items here, which meant that only Shi Wan lived here.
Did they have a fight?
"Mom, it's close to work here, but home is too far from the hospital. I have to get up half an hour earlier every day, and I can't get up that early," Shi Wan said with a smile.
"This is too small. How can Xiao Jing stay here? If she doesn't stay at home, I'll find you a bigger place tomorrow."
It seems that Shi Wan hasn't told her parents about the divorce yet. Shi Yu chose to remain silent. Shi Yu can tell her parents about Shi Wan's illness, but it would be better for Shi Wan to tell them about the divorce herself.
Shi Wan shook her head. "Mom, I paid five years' rent back then, and it's not time yet. If I break the contract, I'll be fined. I'll definitely move out when the time comes. The food's getting cold, let's eat first."
Seeing that it was late and the topic was being changed, Qin Qiaolian stopped trying to persuade him and smiled, saying, "Eat more meat."
Shi Wan smiled and replied, "Okay."
Shi Yu remained silent, while Shi Wan kept staring at her. Shi Yu lowered her head guiltily, ate her rice quickly, and then made an excuse to leave.
At night, Shi Wan slept on a makeshift bed on the floor. Shi Wan's bed was not big, so it was a bit crowded for two people to sleep on it. Shi Wan originally planned to sleep on the makeshift bed on the floor and let Qin Qiaolian sleep on the bed, but Qin Qiaolian insisted on not letting her. Shi Wan knew her mother's temper and could not persuade her otherwise, so she had to compromise.
Lying in bed, Shi Wan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She still had to find a way to hide the surgery from her mother the day after tomorrow.
If Shi's mother finds out she's pregnant, then Grandma Sikong will find out too, and if Grandma Sikong finds out, it's the same as Sikong Jingyu finding out too!
She had planned to tell her mother about the divorce in the next few days, but the timing was wrong—she got pregnant first!
Just thinking about these things gives me a headache every night.
She'll be honest about it after the abortion. It'll happen sooner or later, in the next few days. After that, Shi Wan can take the opportunity to say that she and Si Kong Jing Yu are currently separated, their relationship has broken down, and divorce will naturally follow. It will be much easier for Shi Wan to bring up divorce then.
When Shi Wan woke up in the morning, Qin Qiaolian had already cooked beef noodles. Shi Wan quickly finished eating and rushed to work.
Shi Wan knew from a young age that her mother had a habit of not being able to stand a dirty or messy house. Now that her mother was here, she would definitely clean up Shi Wan's rented room inside and out.
Fearing that Qin Qiaolian might accidentally see the ultrasound report and divorce certificate when she was packing up the house, Shi Wan made sure to bring the ultrasound report and divorce certificate with her to the department before leaving home.
Only after the ultrasound report and divorce certificate were tucked into a book and locked in the cabinet in his duty room did Shi Wan feel much more at ease.
Shi Wan really understood her mother. After Shi Wan left, Qin Qiaolian couldn't stay idle. She cleaned the house thoroughly, not even letting go of the cobwebs in the corners.
Shi Wan has to be on duty at noon today. She had already told Qin Qiaolian in advance that she wouldn't be home for lunch and that she could just order takeout.
After tidying up the rented room, it was still early. Eating takeout all the time wouldn't do, no wonder Wan Yatou wasn't gaining weight. So Qin Qiaolian spent most of the day in the kitchen. Around 11:30, Qin Qiaolian packed up the food and took the steaming hot sweet and sour pork ribs to the hospital to find Shi Wan.
Qin Qiaolian had never been to the late-night ward before, so she asked for directions along the way. When she arrived at the ward, an ambulance had just brought back a high school girl who had drunk pesticide. The nurses were busy washing the girl's stomach.
An hour passed quickly, and Qin Qiaolian, not wanting to disturb them, could only wait patiently on the sidelines.
It was almost one o'clock when Qin Qiaolian saw that Shi Wan was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat. She felt extremely distressed. If she didn't eat on time, her stomach would be bad in the long run, and if her stomach was bad, she wouldn't be able to absorb nutrients well. How could her Wan girl possibly gain weight?
Qin Qiaolian remembered that when Shi Wan was in school, although she wasn't fat, she at least had some flesh on her face and body, with a moderate amount of baby fat and a rosy complexion, which made her look very healthy.
Now that her baby fat on her chin is gone, her complexion is not as rosy as before, and she has lost weight, Qin Qiaolian was heartbroken.
The pressure in big cities is immense. Even after working for several years, Wan Yatou didn't look as healthy as when she was being cared for by Qin Qiaolian.
Qin Qiaolian turned around and left the emergency room. She went to a nearby supermarket and bought a bunch of pastries and bird's nest soup, thinking that if she couldn't eat on time in the future, it would be good to have something to eat to fill her stomach when she was hungry.
When Qin Qiaolian returned carrying food, she bumped into Shi Wan at the elevator entrance. She was taken aback, then her eyes lit up with surprise: "Wanwan, you've finished resuscitating the patient?"
When Shi Wan saw the lunchbox and bags Qin Qiaolian was carrying, she was taken aback. "Mom? What brings you here?"
"I've come to bring you your food," Qin Qiaolian said with a smile.
As she was laughing, Qin Qiaolian remembered that the food had been delivered more than an hour ago and was long cold. Her expression immediately changed. "It's cold... Does your department have a microwave?"
Shi Wan nodded, "Yes."
Qin Qiaolian's expression immediately brightened, and she smiled, "Then I'll heat it up for you, and you go wash your hands."
A few minutes later, Shi Wan sat down in the duty room and ate lunch.
Qin Qiaolian looked at Shi Wan, her eyes red: "Do you often eat at this time?"
