The two walked out of the convenience store. Xu Wan assumed the pregnant woman was there for a prenatal checkup, but the pregnant woman said first, "I'm going to the inpatient department. What about you?"
"Me too."
Xu Wan then spoke up.
“That’s great! How long are you staying? My husband is worried I’ll miscarry, so he wants me to stay until I give birth. I’ve been here for over a month now, and I’m all alone in the ward. I’ve watched all my favorite TV shows and variety shows, and I’m practically going moldy.”
The pregnant woman complained, her face full of distress.
"I should be able to be discharged in a day or two more." Xu Wan smiled as she listened to the pregnant woman. "This hospital charges a lot, and the fact that they are willing to pay for your stay for so long shows that they really care about you."
Xu Wan knew that Shenghe Hospital was expensive, and she was actually reluctant to stay there for so long.
The pregnant woman liked hearing Xu Wan say that and smiled happily: "That's true. Apart from being too busy with work to spend time with me, he's great in every other way."
The two of them went into the inpatient department together to wait for the elevator.
When the elevator arrived, Xu Wan went in and swiped her card in the designated area, and the button for the 28th floor lit up.
The pregnant woman's eyes lit up when she saw the 28th floor. She swiped her card first, then looked Xu Wan up and down cautiously and asked, "Sister, I'm so bored in my ward. Can I... come to your ward for a while?"
"ah?"
Xu Wan was stunned, not expecting her to make such a request.
"Just a little while. I saw you're staying on the 28th floor. I heard the 28th floor has all the luxury wards. I'd like to see them, is that alright?"
Compared to before, the pregnant woman's tone became noticeably more cautious.
The inpatient department of St. He Hospital is quite special. Although it is divided into departments, patients of high status are not assigned to any department and stay on the 27th or 28th floor.
Xu Wan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
The pregnant woman jumped up happily, took her arm, and asked affectionately, "Sister, my name is Sang Zhenzhen, what's your name?"
"Xu Wan".
Xu Wan simply stated her name, while reminding him, "You're pregnant, so don't jump around too much."
"Okay." Sang Zhenzhen took Xu Wan's arm. "Sister, you're so kind."
Xu Wan knew why Sang Zhenzhen's attitude had changed, and she inexplicably began to have a different opinion of her.
The elevator reached the 28th floor.
Xu Wan led Sang Zhenzhen to the ward.
Sang Zhenzhen asked cautiously, "May I take a look around?"
Xu Wan nodded.
Sang Zhenzhen immediately ran over and checked the ward and bathroom.
Finally, she sat on the sofa and exclaimed, "This is a super ward! It's amazing. I wish I could stay here."
“No matter how good it is, it’s still a hospital room,” Xu Wan said.
Sang Zhenzhen touched her belly and said, "The reason my husband is so careful is because this child was conceived through IVF, which cost a lot of money. If something goes wrong, we'll have to do it all over again, and he can't bear to let me retrieve eggs again, so he's made me stay here for so long."
"IVF? You're so young, you don't need to do IVF, you can get pregnant naturally."
Xu Wan was somewhat surprised.
Judging from Sang Zhenzhen's appearance, she was definitely not older than her.
Is it really necessary to do IVF at such a young age? Logically speaking, it's completely unnecessary.
“Yes,” Sang Zhenzhen said dismissively, “because my husband wanted a son and was afraid I wouldn’t be able to have children, so we used IVF. Both of them are boys!”
Xu Wan no longer wanted to explain to Sang Zhenzhen that the sex of a child depends on the man.
She saw a naive foolishness in Sang Zhenzhen's face.
I was thinking that it was necessary to get to know her, as this girl might be a potential source of my cases.
Xu Wan doesn't wish for others to get divorced or have family disputes every day.
However, many of the women who come to the law firm for divorce consultations are girls like Sang Zhenzhen.
When Sang Zhenzhen talked about this, her face was full of pride. She asked, "By the way, would you like to see a photo of me and my husband?"
"...Okay."
Xu Wan wasn't actually interested; she just mentioned it casually.
She sat down on the sofa, and after scrolling through her phone for a while, Sang Zhenzhen pulled out a photo and showed it to Xu Wan. "Look, this is my husband. He's much older than me, but he's a handsome older man!"
Even with the photo on her phone heavily filtered and beautified, Xu Wan recognized the person in the photo at a glance.
It was her uncle, Ma Jun!
