Chapter 57 The Female Supporting Character's Mother - Encountering a Scumbag in the Parking Lot
Overwhelmed with emotion, Xu Wan felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She clutched her stomach with both hands, her face contorted in agony, and cried out, "My...my stomach...it hurts so much!"
The old woman noticed her unusual behavior and stopped outputting her message, momentarily flustered.
The crowd that had been watching quickly sprang into action; some helped the elderly woman support Xu Wan, while others ran to the maternity hospital to call for a doctor.
Fortunately, the hospital was nearby. Within minutes, several doctors and nurses from the hospital arrived with a cart, and together they lifted Xu Wan into the cart.
Even though her stomach was hurting terribly, she tried her best to refuse to go to this hospital, but she could only manage to utter a few words intermittently: "No...don't..."
The kind-hearted old woman saw Xu Wan waving her arms in the air and quickly pulled them down, saying, "Good child, don't be sad. The most important thing right now is to give birth to the baby!"
Xu Wan stopped struggling, her eyes revealing a sense of desolation.
Xu Wan felt waves of pain in her stomach, and she could tell that the baby was about to come out. She couldn't act impulsively now.
She pointed with difficulty to her bag and looked at the kind old lady standing beside her: "Bag...phone..."
The old woman immediately understood what she meant, quickly picked up her bag, and looked for her phone. Just then, she received a call from her husband.
The old woman was so angry that she answered the phone immediately. She launched into a tirade: "How could you be such a husband! Not only did you not come to the hospital for the checkup, but you also cheated on me with a mistress! Are you even human?!"
As soon as the old woman spoke, the people around her looked at Xu Wan with pity. At that moment, she just wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground and pray that the car would go faster.
Zhao Kang on the other end was also completely bewildered. He brought the phone to his ear and checked it again. It was Xu Wan calling, but what was with the unfamiliar voice on the other end? What cheating?
When Zhang Qin returned home from her morning walk, she found that Xu Wan was not at home. She called to ask where she was, but Xu Wan hung up on her. When she called back, Xu Wan did not answer. Zhang Qin was very angry, so she called her son to complain about Xu Wan.
Zhao Kang then called Xu Wan again.
"Who are you? Where is my wife?" Zhao Kang asked directly into the phone, his voice icy. He now vehemently hated being told that he had cheated on his wife.
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, the old woman felt even more sorry for Xu Wan, but since she wasn't the woman's family member, she could only tell the person on the other end, "Your wife is about to give birth at Jiangcheng Maternity Hospital. Come over quickly!"
After saying that, the old lady hung up the phone.
Hearing this, Zhao Kang panicked and quickly called his mother to prepare the small blanket and other clothes he needed. She drove over to pick him up, and the two of them went to the hospital together.
The car stopped in the hospital's underground parking lot. Zhao Kang and his mother got out of the car, and as they walked toward the elevator, a familiar face came towards them.
Zhang Qin exclaimed in surprise, "Shu Yao?"
At that moment, Yao Yao was pestering Wen Minzhao to sing for her, completely unaware of the two people opposite her.
Yao Yao looked over in confusion. When she saw the mother and son, she wasn't too surprised. When she entered the gate and saw Xu Wan, Yao Yao guessed that Zhao Kang would also come. She just didn't expect him to bring his mother, who was taking care of his brother's child in his hometown.
Yao Yao's expression changed quickly, and she said in a flat tone, "Auntie."
He didn't say a word more, just a polite greeting.
Zhao Kang's expression was indescribable. Looking at the outstanding man beside his ex-wife, he felt a surge of jealousy and inferiority. He recognized the man before him, but the man certainly didn't recognize him.
Before Zhao Kang started his company, he consulted with the most famous Junsheng Law Firm. There, he had seen Wen Minzhao from afar. The lawyer who received him said that Wen was the big boss of the firm.
Zhang Qin knew that her son and Shu Yao had only been divorced for a little over a month. In such a short time, he already had a new love? Could it be that she had also cheated on him? And whose child was in that belly? Zhang Qin made wild guesses in her mind.
"Hey, Shu Yao, who is this person next to you...?" Zhang Qin asked, voicing her doubts with a meaningful expression.
Before Yao Yao could speak, Wen Minzhao answered the question, his sharp eyes looking at the two people opposite him, and said, "I am Yao Yao's suitor, and who are you?"
After that, Yao Yao answered for the two of them, saying in a playful tone, "It's my cheating ex-husband and my ex-mother-in-law."
Zhao Kang: "..."
Zhang Qin: "..."
Wen Minzhao's expression remained calm: "Oh." He showed no surprise whatsoever; the two people in front of him were like strangers to him, utterly unimportant.
Although Zhang Qin was unhappy, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum because of the imposing presence of the man beside her. She could only say with some dissatisfaction, "Shu Yao, aren't you being a little too harsh with your words?"
Yao Yao raised an eyebrow, looked at Zhao Kang, and asked with a half-smile, "Zhao Kang, do you think I'm being unpleasant? Am I not telling the truth?"
Zhao Kang's face turned even worse. Although there were no passersby around, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face in public, so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
He didn't reply to Shu Yao, but simply took his mother's hand and left without saying a word.
Seeing his evasive behavior, Yao Yao scoffed, "What a scumbag who dares to do it but not admit it!"
Zhao Kang: "..."
Zhang Qin also heard this disdainful remark. Naturally, she had to protect her son. She grabbed him tightly, stopped him in place, turned around, and angrily retorted loudly, "So what if my son cheated? What kind of good person are you? You've only been divorced for a month and you've already hooked up with another man. Did you have something going on before your marriage?"
When Zhao Kang heard his mother's guess, he was stunned and looked at Shu Yao with suspicion in his eyes.
Yao Yao laughed angrily. She turned around and faced the shameless mother and son directly, her voice icy cold: "I was wondering why your son was such a scoundrel. Turns out, like father, like son!"
"Do you think everyone is as scum as your son? When you judge others by your own standards, you don't even look at what kind of trash your son is! Your son hired a nanny to monitor my every move after we got married. Should I have your son ask that nanny if I had been having an affair before the divorce?"
"Speaking of which, I owe my acquaintance with President Wen entirely to your good son! If I hadn't discovered your good son's affair, why would I have gone to a lawyer, and how would I have met President Wen! When I get married, I will send your son an invitation to thank him for making the connection."
"You..." Zhang Qin was about to speak when Zhao Kang interrupted her.
Zhao Kang angrily said, "Mom! Stop talking, let's go."
Just as he was about to pull his mother away, Wen Minzhao spoke up: "Madam, a mouth isn't for making things up. I've only known Yaoyao for a month. It's perfectly legal and reasonable for me to fall in love with her at first sight and pursue her."
“What you just said is malicious defamation, which has already violated the law. If it happens again, I will sue you directly, and the largest law firm in Jiangcheng will fight this case with you.”
