Chapter 934: Three Elements of Success for a Mistress
After my mother finished speaking, she didn't give Ye Qiwen a chance to speak again. She took off her white coat neatly and turned to leave the office.
Leaving behind was Ye Qiwen, who looked a little overwhelmed, and my father, who looked unhappy.
I feel really bad. Given my mother's personality, when would she ever give in to her work?
"Are you and your mistress satisfied now?" I looked at my father coldly, with undisguised sarcasm in my tone.
My dad opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just pinched his brows tiredly, "Mengmeng, this is a problem between me and your mom. I hope you can understand dad. Some things are not what you think..."
"What am I thinking?" I interrupted him, "Dad, since I was little, whenever you and my mom quarreled, I almost always stood on your side and thought my mom was wrong.
But I now understand that those are really trivial matters. No matter how strong, overbearing, or unreasonable my mother is, it is not a reason for you to betray this family.
I can understand that the child is your responsibility and you have no choice, but is it the same with this woman?
No matter how pitiful this woman in front of you pretends to be, it is not a reason for you to defend her.
I really can’t understand you this time.”
Ye Qiwen spoke softly, "Mengmeng, don't talk about your dad like that. I just accidentally fell in love with your dad. It's not his fault..."
As she spoke, she held my father's arm and sobbed quietly.
I gave her a look of disgust and said, "Stop pretending. Your son is still lying in the intensive care unit next door. You still have the mood to act out this drama, as if your love is the most valuable thing in the world.
She really has implemented the three elements of success for a mistress!"
Ming Chenggang also interjected: "What three elements?"
"Persist, shamelessly, persist shamelessly!"
Xiao Shiqiu tried desperately to suppress the smile that was about to spill from his lips, but Ming Chenggang laughed out loud without hesitation and echoed, "That makes a lot of sense. I'll have to take a note of this on my phone. I'll need it when we argue next time."
I almost lost the ability to argue when she interrupted me.
I think although she is somewhat lacking in sympathy, overall, her studious nature is quite prominent, and she even takes notes while eating melons.
Ye Qiwen looked shaky, and my father felt a little sorry for her. "Mengmeng, that's enough. She's an elder after all..."
"What kind of elder is she? If this happened before liberation, she would have been either a concubine or a mistress."
Xiao Shiqiu got a bottle of Scream from somewhere, handed it to me and said, "Moisten your throat, don't get tired."
I feel like there's something stuck in my heart, and if I don't let it out, I'll get hurt.
You looked at him with a pout, muttering quietly, "I'm not finished yet."
"Yeah, drink some water before you continue. Don't strain your throat by being so loud."
My father looked at Xiao Shiqiu with his eyes twitching. He couldn't afford to offend his daughter and son-in-law now, so he just let the mistress suffer.
I swallowed two big mouthfuls and was about to continue my performance when I heard Ye Qiwen say weakly, "I didn't mean to destroy your family. I just felt bad that your father didn't have anyone around him who cared about him. You know your mother's temper. She doesn't know how to care for others. She always orders your father around.
Mengmeng, you can't blame your dad for this.
Your dad is usually so tired outside, he doesn't want to be controlled by women when he comes home." She looked at my dad very gently as she said this, and my dad seemed a little touched.
"Ha, it seems like you understand my dad quite well. Of course he doesn't want to be controlled by women, he wants to be surrounded by women!
Besides, what if you understand him?
So what if my mother is not gentle to him? Isn’t he still unwilling to divorce my mother?
You are so considerate, why doesn't he marry you? My mother said she wanted a divorce last time, guess why he didn't want to?"
Ye Qiwen's expression changed as expected, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
My dad couldn't stand it any longer. "Mengmeng, are you trying to instigate a divorce between your mom and me? Okay, your Aunt Ye is in a bad mood because of her child's illness, so just be kind and don't provoke her.
Your mother has left, you and Shiqiu should go back too."
I looked at his exhausted appearance and suddenly felt that it was quite boring, and I also felt that he looked a little pitiful.
The one he felt sorry for was my mother. Although she didn't really care about me, at least she never treated me badly in terms of material things.
Forget it, I don’t want to say anything anymore.
Xiao Shiqiu grabbed my hand at the right moment: "Mengmeng, let's go back first."
I nodded silently.
Xiao Shiqiu politely turned around and said to my dad, "Dad, we're leaving first. If you need any help, you can contact me."
Xiao Shiqiu's call of "Dad" finally made my dad's brows relax a lot. "Okay, you guys go back first. Shiqiu, please persuade Mengmeng for me. She is young and doesn't understand many things yet."
I rolled my eyes. I would never understand the concept of having an illegitimate child within marriage even if I lived to be eighty.
It has nothing to do with age!
It doesn’t matter what your gender is!
When I walked out of the office, the crowd in the corridor had mostly dispersed.
Ming Chenggang came up to me and whispered, "Su Yi told you not to worry, he will pay special attention to this patient."
"Why should I worry? That child is not mine."
Ming Chenggang paused, then nodded. "That makes sense. You're not a doctor, nor is you the child's mother. It really has nothing to do with you."
She took my hand and said, "Let me take you out." After walking a few steps, she whispered, "Now that you have the marriage certificate, how do you feel about getting married?"
"What's wrong? Are you also considering getting married? To whom?" I asked even though I knew the answer.
Ming Chenggang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I, I'm just asking casually.
What's so good about getting married? Why do so many people want to get married? "
I was stunned by her question and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Shiqiu. He was staring at the road ahead, but his ears moved suspiciously.
I tried to think of the standard answers I'd seen online, and said earnestly, "Don't get married. You'll be alone in your old age."
"But getting married doesn't guarantee you'll live to old age."
“Studies have shown that families with harmonious relationships are more likely to be healthy and live longer.
If you don't get married, you'll be left alone to die when you're old. How pitiful! I tried my best to guide her onto the right path.
I saw the corners of Xiao Shiqiu's mouth curl up slightly.
Ming Chenggang pondered, "It's different after getting married. My parents both hope that the other will die first, so life is quite hopeful now. They both pay attention to their health."
Xiao Shiqiu grabbed my hand and politely asked Ming Chenggang not to send me off. "Xiao Ming, just send me off here. We know each other at the parking lot, so you can go there yourself.
Your hospital is very busy, so don't let it interfere with your work."
