Episode 008: An Encounter with an Arrogant Mistress
Gu Mingxia went to the suburbs and booked a room at a chain hotel called Four Seasons Restaurant. She also bought some changes of clothes and daily necessities.
She didn't have much cash on her, and even if she stayed in such a cheap hotel, she couldn't stay there for long.
The room was small, with only a bed, a TV, and a chair, but it was clean and tidy.
Gu Mingxia put down her things, took the clothes she had just bought, and went into the bathroom.
A moment later, she came out wrapped in a bath towel, carrying new clothes that had been scalded with hot water. After hanging the clothes to dry, Gu Mingxia watched TV listlessly.
Just as she was about to fall asleep from boredom, she was suddenly woken up by her phone ringing. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed Liu Yan calling. After answering, she heard a lot of noise on the other end.
"Liu Yan, how did the opening go?"
"It's fine. How about it? Do you want to come over now?" Liu Yan's voice was tinged with drunkenness, but it was still as loud as ever. Gu Mingxia leaned against the headboard, fiddling with the bath towel on her body, with a lonely expression on her face.
"I'm not going, I want to sleep for a while. Have fun! Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia casually tossed her phone onto the bed. Lying on the bed, Gu Mingxia stared at the yellowish ceiling. The last time she stayed in such a simple hotel was when she was dating Bai Zixuan!
But things have changed now! Reality is truly the best test of promises!
Before she knew it, Gu Mingxia fell asleep amidst her own reflections. Perhaps she was truly exhausted from all the events of the day; she, who is usually a light sleeper, slept until almost noon.
After waking up and washing up, Gu Mingxia changed her clothes and prepared to go downstairs to get something to eat and stroll around the suburbs when her phone rang again.
"Mrs. Xu, I am a nurse from Maria Hospital. I am here to remind you that you have an appointment with Dr. Jiang for a physical examination at 11:00 this morning."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia changed into high heels and put on elegant light makeup before leaving the house with her handbag.
A month ago, she had already made an appointment with a gynecologist at Maria Hospital for a thorough physical examination. For her, having a physical examination twice a year is a way of taking responsibility for herself.
Holding the report, Gu Mingxia suddenly stopped walking out. Not far away, a man was carefully helping a heavily pregnant woman with long hair toward Dr. Jiang's office.
Seeing this scene, Gu Mingxia, who was usually calm, curled her lips into a cold smile and quickly walked over to block the two of them.
"Miss, please move aside..." Before Bai Zixuan could finish speaking, he looked up and saw that it was Gu Mingxia blocking his way, and his handsome face showed obvious disgust.
"Oh dear, isn't this Mrs. Xu? What's wrong? You're in such a hurry to get checked out now that you know Xuan wants a divorce? What did the doctor say? Will you be able to get pregnant in another seven years?"
Ye Xiaorou wore a mocking expression, her eyes gleaming with the smugness of a victor.
"Yes, as long as I am Mrs. Xu, you will be a mistress who cannot be seen in the light of day, and your child will have to bear the identity of an illegitimate child!"
Gu Mingxia wore her long hair loosely tied to one side today, with half of her chestnut-colored hair hanging down her back and the other half flowing in front of her chest. She wore a linen shirt with black capri pants and a pair of purple sunglasses hanging on her chest. Her makeup was elegant and exquisite, showing no trace of yesterday's flustered appearance. Today, she looked elegant and exuded confidence.
"Xuan said he will divorce his wife and marry me!"
Ye Xiaorou puffed out her chest, her large belly now right in front of Gu Mingxia. To everyone's surprise, Gu Mingxia simply smiled elegantly.
"Really? Your belly looks pretty big, doesn't it? I just wonder if Bai Zixuan, as the party at fault in the marriage, is willing to leave with nothing to marry you? If I were you, I would first make myself the legal wife before mocking the divorced wife!"
Nurses and patients passing by would occasionally glance at the three of them. In a place like a hospital, they had seen many scenes of wives catching their husbands and mistresses, so they were not surprised at all.
"Gu Mingxia, I advise you to be sensible and just sign the document. Don't forget I still have your photo!"
Disgust and mockery flashed in Bai Zixuan's eyes, but his gaze softened with tenderness when he looked at Ye Xiaorou. Gu Mingxia gave a cold snort, but before she could speak, Bai Zixuan spoke again.
"What, now that you see I'm getting a divorce, you know to come to the hospital for a checkup? That's right, after seven years of marriage you still can't get pregnant, you really need to get checked out, otherwise, if you can't have children after the divorce, how will you find another partner?"
"Xuan, don't say that. It's already pitiful enough that you can't have children..."
Ye Xiaorou covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled softly. The two of them sang in unison, but the words they uttered were extremely vicious. However, Gu Mingxia felt no pain in her heart, only disappointment. How could she have fallen for such a despicable and shameless man in the first place?
"Xiaxia, why does it take so long to get a report?"
