Chapter 56 The Female Supporting Character's Mother—Who Can Heaven Forgive?
Upon arriving at the maternity hospital, Xu Wan got out of the taxi, moving her heavy body cautiously, bit by bit. The taxi driver, a kind-hearted man, quickly went to the back seat to help her.
"You must be close to giving birth soon. You should have your family come with you," the taxi driver suggested to Xu Wan as he helped her up.
Xu Wan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. If she could, she wouldn't want to come alone. Not only did Zhao Kang have grievances, but she did too.
At this moment, she could only pretend to be strong: "My husband can't take time off work, but I can manage on my own. I'll come over after he gets off work."
The taxi driver sighed after hearing this: "It's not easy being a working person in this society!"
Xu Wan didn't say anything. After her feet were firmly planted on the ground, she thanked the driver and then walked towards the hospital gate.
She walked slowly. There was a lot of people at the entrance of the maternity hospital. Among the crowd, there were many pregnant women like her, but the difference was that they all had someone supporting them.
She was the only one.
In the past, Zhao Kang had always accompanied her to her prenatal checkups. Xu Wan had felt proud and happy at the time, thinking that he had never accompanied his wife to a prenatal checkup. This time, however, it was her turn to come to the hospital alone, and she realized the hardship of being alone.
Thinking of this, she could no longer laugh.
The parking lot of the maternity hospital is inside the hospital grounds, and there are many private cars queuing up to go in at the entrance.
As Xu Wan walked to the entrance of the pedestrian passage, she glanced at the vehicles waiting at the door and suddenly spotted a familiar face: Zhao Kang's ex-wife, Shu Yao.
Xu Wan was utterly shocked by what she saw!
Shu Yao sat in the passenger seat with the window open. Xu Wan could clearly see Shu Yao chatting and laughing with the man in the driver's seat. The man had a mature and handsome face, the kind of aura of a powerful person who had experienced the ups and downs of society, but he was so tolerant in front of Shu Yao.
The sleek lines of the car body exude an air of nobility; you can tell it's very expensive just by looking at the logo.
Xu Wan's eyes reddened as she watched. She couldn't understand how Shu Yao had found a new partner so quickly in just over a month! And this person clearly had considerable wealth, far beyond what Zhao Kang could compare to.
Why is she doing better and better after leaving Zhao Kang? She doesn't look like a down-and-out loser at all! In comparison, she seems more like someone who has been abandoned.
Why is Shu Yao's life so smooth? She was loved by her parents since childhood, so why do men keep liking her even when she grows up?
Why is it that only my life is a mess?! My parents are a bloodsucker! And the man I found doesn't cherish me after he gets what he wants. God is so unfair!
Xu Wan was so jealous she was going crazy. Her heart was bleeding and roaring. It felt like a beast was howling inside her, tearing at her lifeless body.
Yao Yao was telling Wen Minzhao about the gossip she saw in the neighborhood group chat yesterday when she noticed a strong gaze fixed on her. Guided by her sixth sense, Yao Yao turned around to look for it.
She immediately met Xu Wan's gaze. At first, Yao Yao was somewhat surprised, but when she saw Xu Wan standing alone in the crowd with a manic expression in her eyes, Yao Yao laughed.
There was no smugness or mockery in his smile; it was just a polite one.
But in Xu Wan's eyes, the scene at this moment was more painful than killing her!
When Wen Minzhao noticed that Yao Yao had stopped talking and was looking out the window, he followed her gaze and saw a group of unfamiliar faces.
"Do you know anyone?" Wen Minzhao asked.
Yao Yao turned around after hearing the voice and nodded: "Yes, my ex-husband's mistress."
Wen Minzhao: "..."
Yao Yao noticed the car in front was moving and reminded it, "Let's go, the car in front is moving."
Wen Minzhao realized what was happening and immediately replied, "Okay."
The car continued its slow journey. Yao Yao didn't look out again. Seeing Xu Wan didn't stir any emotion in her heart. Just an insignificant person.
As the vehicle drove out of sight, Xu Wan felt as if a boulder was blocking her chest, making it hard to breathe. She even wanted to leave.
The shroud of shame was ruthlessly torn away, revealing a destitute and lonely body beneath.
At this moment, the person she once thought was a loser is looking down on her with ruthless mockery of her failure. Looking back, all these years, she has nothing but the baby in her belly.
Just then, her cell phone rang. Xu Wan answered it; it was her mother-in-law, Zhang Qin, calling.
Xu Wan hung up immediately. She didn't want to talk to anyone at that moment; she just wanted to be alone.
The other end wasn't going to let her off the hook. The phone rang again, and it was the same person. Xu Wan was so angry that she just turned off the phone.
Numbly, she turned around and walked in the opposite direction from the hospital entrance.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, one after another. Passersby on both sides of the road looked at her in surprise. Xu Wan did not wipe away her tears, and just walked along numbly, crying as she went.
A kind-hearted elderly woman passing by couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and handed her a tissue: "Child, what's wrong? Did something happen? Wipe your tears, everything will pass, don't do anything rash."
Xu Wan did not resist and was pulled to a seat at the bus stop by the old woman.
Seeing that Xu Wan seemed to have experienced a huge shock, with a numb expression and no reaction to the outside world, the old woman could only take a tissue and wipe her face herself.
The old woman was somewhat exasperated: "With such a big belly, how come you came to the hospital alone? Where are your family members?"
Xu Wan shook her head stiffly. She had no family left; her only family was still in her belly.
Seeing the person in front of her react this way, the old woman seemed to understand something and launched into a frenzied outburst:
“孩子，你男人是不是出轨了！该哭的应该是天杀的渣男和小三，不是你啊！你哭什么，你应该拿棍子把渣男贱女揍一顿！振作起来！不要这么软软弱弱的一个人哭！大娘以过来人的身份告诉你，千万别想不开，你就应该看开，好好爱自己，只有你过得越来越好，才是对渣男和小三最大的惩罚！”
"As the old saying goes, good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. Don't worry, child, God is watching. Your man and his mistress will definitely be punished!"
“Look how healthy I am! When my husband was young, he had an affair. I just brought my family over, beat him up, took the kids, and divorced him! Now my daughter and son-in-law are very filial to me. They took me to live with them and don't let me do any work. I just dance and sing all day. My grandson was just born in the maternity hospital up ahead. Meanwhile, that old man's son with his mistress demands money from him every day. If he doesn't give him money, he beats and verbally abuses him. His life is miserable!”
The old woman continued talking non-stop, but Xu Wan's tears flowed even more uncontrollably.
