Chapter 436 Yang Mei's Hasty Marriage
The next day, when Cen Yan went to work at the health center, she saw the nurses talking amongst themselves.
I leaned closer to listen and found out it was because of the berries.
Her face immediately darkened, and she snapped at them in a less-than-friendly tone, "Don't any of you have anything to do? Have you even done your rounds?"
"Dr. Cen." Upon seeing Cen Yan, the nurses quickly scattered like birds. Mi Shan, seeing that Cen Yan seemed genuinely angry, quickly came over to smooth things over and speak up for the nurses.
"Don't be angry. Our health center is usually busy and deals mainly with patients, so it's not easy to talk about this. But this time we've encountered some good news, which is enough to make us excited for several days."
"Good news?" Hearing Mi Shan's words, Cen Yan frowned slightly. "What's going on?"
Yang Mei is getting married.
Mi Shan's words made Cen Yan's heart sink. Yang Mei, this girl, still couldn't figure it out in the end. Was she going to swallow this matter and pretend to be deaf and dumb?
Cen Yan felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Congratulations to her! So Yang Mei took leave? I don't think I've seen her. Could she be getting married in the next few days?"
"You guessed right! The other person seems to be quite old and is eager to get married. Yang Mei thought he was a good person and knew him well, so she settled on the engagement. To avoid interfering with work, the engagement was on the ninth day of the lunar new year, and the wedding was on the Lantern Festival. Yang Mei took seven days off. We were just discussing what wedding gift to give Yang Mei."
The marriage partner isn't Zhou Chen?
It seems that Yang Mei has figured it out. Zhou Chen, who is determined to take on the roles of both parents, is not a good man. But is it too hasty to make such a rash decision about her marriage?
"When you give gifts, please send one to me too: Qi Bai ointment, aloe vera cream, and a small monetary gift. I won't be attending the wedding; I probably won't have time."
Cen Yan was unsure of Yang Mei's opinion of her, so she planned to avoid meeting her as much as possible, sending gifts but not actually seeing her.
Mi Shan didn't think much of it, assuming that Cen Yan had been too busy lately. In fact, the people at their health center had the same idea. With so many patients, they didn't have time to go to the countryside for a banquet, so they just planned to send a representative to give a gift.
After the eighth and ninth days of the lunar new year, by the tenth day, people all over the country were gradually returning to work. Yang Xinxin was no exception. She came to the family compound to get some medicinal herbs to take home and treat.
She also brought a bright red invitation card, which Yang Mei had asked her to pass on.
Now that they were right in front of her, Cen Yan had no choice but to ask a few more questions.
"Xin Xin, what's going on with your sister? She just dumped Zhou Chen and she's already dating someone else?"
Yang Xinxin was someone who couldn't keep secrets from Cen Yan. After looking around, she told the truth, "Sister Cen Yan, I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else, lest it ruin my sister's reputation. It's like this, my sister is pregnant."
"What?" Cen Yan feigned ignorance, looking surprised. "Zhou Chen's?"
"Hmm." Yang Xinxin blushed. "After you left that day, my sister ate her fill and then confessed to the family. My parents asked her to take a leave of absence and go to Blue City to have an abortion, but she refused."
"And then you found an honest guy to take over? Your family did something really unethical!" Cen Yan frowned.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Yang Xinxin quickly shook her head, "That's not how it is. My parents saw that my sister couldn't bear to part with the child, so they introduced her to a comrade from the Xiangyang Brigade. That comrade is my sister's elementary school classmate. He used to like my sister, but he can't have children."
“He knows my sister’s situation and promised to treat her child as his own! If we marry her now and work things out in a few months, no one will doubt the child’s origins or gossip.”
That's why I was in such a hurry to get married.
