Chapter 186 Waiting for Delivery in the Hospital
It doesn't matter if Zhao's mother nags him, but Zhao's father disagrees with letting Zhao Xi take care of Zhao Wan's troubles. It's not that he loves Zhao Xi as his adopted daughter, but Zhao Xi's two clothing companies are developing by leaps and bounds, and he thinks Zhao Xi should focus more on work.
As for Zhao Wan, when she was about to marry Gong Wenjie, Zhao's father had already persuaded her, but she insisted on getting married. As a parent, they would help her in any way they could, but they had no obligation to be responsible for her for the rest of her life. From this point of view, Zhao's father seemed to be cold-blooded and rational.
"Wan'er is also your daughter, how can you be so cruel? Xixi is Wan'er's elder sister, isn't it her duty to take care of her younger sister? Is it important for Wan'er to be in the company?" Mother Zhao's heart is now on Zhao Wan, and when she heard what father Zhao said, she immediately accused him with dissatisfaction.
The two elders of the Zhao family have a very good relationship. They rarely have conflicts, and the few disputes they do have are mostly about Zhao Wan.
"You are talking nonsense. I won't talk to you anymore." Father Zhao immediately ended the subject.
He knew very well that once Zhao's mother wanted to quarrel with him, she would not listen to reason with him.
Zhao Xi listened silently to the argument between the two elders of the Zhao family and didn't want to say a word.
After Zhao's father returned to City A, Zhao's mother spent most of her time in the hospital with Zhao Wan, and Zhao Xi was basically the one who picked her up and dropped her off. Gong Wenjie was not feeling well either. With his mother-in-law around, he had to stay by Zhao Wan's side every day like a good husband.
Seeing that Gong Wenjie was caring to her as before, Zhao Wan gradually forgave him. However, Zhao's mother was still wary of her son-in-law.
Zhao Wan's condition was more serious this time, and she was scared. She followed the doctor's advice obediently and stayed in the hospital for more than half a month. During this period, something happened that made her depressed, and it was related to Qian Muchue.
While Zhao Wan was in the hospital to protect her pregnancy, Qian Muchue's due date arrived. Because Zhao Wan was staying in the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in City B, Gong Chen had booked a VIP ward in the hospital in advance, and Qian Muchue moved in as soon as the due date arrived.
For this purpose, Gong Chen specially arranged the company's affairs in advance. Unless there was something important, he would stay in the hospital with Qian Muchue.
Although Qian Muchue did not suffer any fatigue during her pregnancy, she was still a little nervous when she was about to give birth. After all, it was the first time she had given birth in her two lifetimes. Fortunately, Gong Chen was by her side, which made her relax a little.
When Qian Muchue checked in, Zhao's mother happened to be accompanying Zhao Wan out of the ward for a walk. Zhao's mother recognized Qian Muchue at a glance. After all, when they were in City A, she had come to her house to look for Zhao Xi. Qian Muchue had a good appearance and it was difficult for ordinary people to forget her.
Seeing Qian Muchue's condition, Zhao's mother was secretly amazed. Except for her big belly, her limbs were still very slender. Qian Muchue was also in good condition, and she looked energetic even without makeup. Compared with her own daughter, she was like heaven and earth.
"Wan'er, your sister-in-law is over there. Let's go over and say hello." Zhao's mother said to her daughter. She knew that Qian Muchue's husband was the Gong Chen that Zhao's father praised, and that he was Gong Wenjie's half-brother.
Gong Chen and Qian Muchue stood together, and they were a perfect match. It was not difficult for Zhao's mother to recognize his identity. Apart from anything else, just from the appearance, Gong Chen was much better than her slick son-in-law.
Seeing Qian Muchue in such good condition, you know how competent Gong Chen is as a husband. At the beginning, Zhao's father wanted to introduce his daughter to Gong Chen, but unfortunately it didn't happen. Thinking about it now, Zhao's mother still feels a little regretful.
"What?" Zhao Wan didn't react when she heard the word sister-in-law. She had never regarded Qian Muchue as her sister-in-law.
"Look, over there, Gong Wenjie's elder brother and sister-in-law should be about to give birth." Mother Zhao pointed towards Qian Muchue and said.
The moment she saw Qian Muchue and Gong Chen, Zhao Wan's first reaction was that she didn't want them to see her. Although they were both pregnant, Qian Muchue's belly was a little scary, but her complexion was still so good and her appearance was online, while she looked much more haggard.
"Mom, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Let's go back." Zhao Wan said with a somewhat ugly expression. She couldn't let Qian Muchue see her in such a miserable state.
Seeing that she looked really bad, Zhao's mother was very worried and hurriedly helped her back to the ward. Zhao Wan couldn't help but look back at the two people in the distance. She saw Gong Chen holding Qian Muchue's hand, and the latter had a faint smile on her face. Zhao Wan felt that this scene was very dazzling.
After returning to the ward, Zhao's mother wanted to call a doctor, but Zhao Wan quickly stopped her. Zhao's mother knew her daughter a little bit. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, she thought that her change was after seeing Qian Muchue and Gong Chen, and she probably guessed something.
"Wan'er, is your relationship with Qian Muchue not very good?" Zhao's mother asked tentatively. She knew that Zhao Wan had always been competitive.
"Mom, you're overthinking it. I just felt a little uncomfortable just now." Zhao Wan said a little impatiently. She knew that Zhao's father looked down on Gong Wenjie's identity as an illegitimate child and hoped that they would have a good relationship with Gong Chen and his wife.
But how could Zhao Wan possibly accept this and humble herself in front of Qian Muchue? It would be impossible for her in this life.
At this time, Gong Wenjie just walked into the ward with some fruits in his hand. He watched the mother and daughter talking, intending to please Zhao's mother.
"Mom, what are you and Wan'er talking about? I bought some fruits that Wan'er likes. I'll wash some for you." Gong Wenjie said with a smile, looking like a good husband.
"It's nothing. I just met your brother and sister-in-law. I guess your sister-in-law is about to give birth. Do you want to go and see?" Mother Zhao looked at Gong Wenjie and said.
She remembered that at her daughter's wedding, only Gong Mingwei from the Gong family was present; no one else came. At that time, Gong Mingwei said that it was inconvenient for Old Man Gong because he was old, Gong Chen was busy, and Qian Muchue was about to give birth, so it was also inconvenient. Now it seems that this may not be the case.
"Ah, I'll go check it out later." Gong Wenjie said with a smile.
Mother Zhao did not miss the flash of unhappiness on his face. It was normal for Gong Wenjie, an illegitimate child, to have a bad relationship with Gong Chen, but the Gong family was wealthy and powerful. For the sake of her daughter, Mother Zhao secretly hoped that Gong Wenjie could be recognized by the Gong family.
Otherwise, in Zhao's mother's eyes, Gong Wenjie was not worthy of her daughter in any way given his own conditions.
On the other side, Qian Muchue and Gong Chen were led to the VIP ward by the nurse. The environment was very good and it didn't look like a hospital ward at all. There was a large double bed in the room, which was very suitable for Gong Chen to accompany Qian Muchue.
Qian Muchue had estimated that she would have to wait for a few days before giving birth, but unexpectedly, she went into labor the next day after checking in the day before. The baby in her belly was not delayed for a single day.
