Zhong Ruyi glared at Lin Bin and said angrily, "How could I not be angry?"
He pretends to be busy with work all the time, but he's actually having an affair!
She stroked her belly and said coldly, "If I weren't so old, I wouldn't have kept the child in my belly!"
Luo Cuilan held her shoulders and earnestly advised, "For the sake of the child, please say less for now."
After saying that, she turned to look at Lin Bin and scolded him angrily, "Lin Bin, it is your blessing to marry a woman like Ruyi who is both elegant and capable in the kitchen. Why don't you know how to cherish her?"
"She's pregnant with your child, and you're messing around outside. How can you face her?!"
Lin Bin's eyes turned crimson, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, saying righteously, "Ruyi, I really realize my mistake."
"Please give me another chance!"
Zhong Ruyi remained unmoved in the face of Lin Bin's plea.
An awkward silence descended upon the ward once again.
Luo Cuilan spoke first, breaking the awkward silence, "Ruyi, since Lin Bin apologized so sincerely, let's give him another chance."
Seeing that Zhong Ruyi's face was still terribly gloomy, Luo Cuilan placed her hand on her high, protruding belly and said earnestly, "Even if it's not for Lin Bin, for the sake of the child, you shouldn't get a divorce now."
Do you want your child to be born without a father?
Luo Cuilan frowned, her eyes reddened, and her eyes became misty.
Su Ruyi gently stroked her belly, a hint of reluctance showing on her tense face.
Lin Bin pressed his advantage, saying, "Ruyi, I deserve to die for cheating on you!"
"But I have deeply realized my mistake!"
He raised his finger and swore an oath to the heavens, his words filled with conviction.
“It was Ni An who seduced me. I couldn’t resist and ended up on her ship.” Lin Bin looked annoyed and shifted all the blame onto Ni An. “Not long ago, I realized my mistake and unilaterally broke off my relationship with Ni An.”
"Who knew that Ni An would pester me so relentlessly for a breakup fee! I gave her a sum of money, but she wasn't satisfied and even threatened to show me photos."
"I had no choice but to give her another breakup fee, thinking that would make her stop."
"Who knows..."
Lin Bin said with great remorse, "Ultimately, it's my fault. If I had controlled myself, you wouldn't have been so angry that you ended up in the hospital."
Hearing his words, Mingyao almost couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as Lin Bin before.
So, Ni An was the one at fault for having an affair, while Lin Bin was an innocent victim who was seduced and threatened.
If Ni An heard what he said, would she be so angry that she would explode?
Mingyao dared not say how innocent or right Ni An was, but Lin Bin's shameless shirking of responsibility was truly disgusting.
Zhong Ruyi listened to Lin Bin's words, and her sharp edge noticeably diminished.
"Ruyi, Lin Bin certainly made a mistake, but hasn't he realized it now? And he has paid the price for it."
“He will definitely not make this mistake again in the future.” Luo Cuilan held Zhong Ruyi’s hand and continued to smooth things over. “A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. He will definitely love you wholeheartedly from now on.”
Mingyao couldn't listen anymore; what was all this nonsense?
Is Luo Cuilan really Zhong Ruyi's good friend? Why is she always siding with that scumbag?
With Zhong Ruyi's work ability and appearance, good men don't even need her to look for them; they all come to her one by one.
Why tie yourself to a scumbag because of marriage and children? Isn't that moral blackmail?
Just as Zhong Ruyi was about to speak, Mingyao interrupted, "Hey, the saying 'a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold' is true, but nowadays there are also men who, after cheating once, will cheat countless times."
As soon as she finished speaking, all three of them turned their gazes to her face.
Mingyao pretended to be startled, quickly covered her mouth, and said in a flustered manner, "I'm so sorry, I accidentally said what was on my mind."
Luo Cuilan grinned and quickly added, "It depends on the person."
"Lin Bin is a well-known good man in our circle of friends. He is especially good at taking care of people."
She continued talking to herself, starting to recall, "Ruyi, I remember the winter before you and Lin Bin got married, there was a particularly heavy snowfall."
“You fell ill and collapsed while you were at work. It was snowing heavily at the time, and buses and subways were suspended. Taxis were also hard to find.”
“Lin Bin carried you for three kilometers to the hospital for treatment.”
"The snow that year was so heavy that it was ankle-deep. Lin Bin carried you to the hospital without saying a word, and after that, you decided to marry him."
Zhong Ruyi nodded, still deeply moved as she recalled that year, "I remember it."
She was young then, and her temper was much worse than it is now; no one in the company disliked her.
Lin Bin would tolerate her bad temper and would even carry her to the hospital for treatment.
"And during the first year of your relationship, Lin Bin knitted you a scarf, and you kept showing it off to me."
One thing after another, Zhong Ruyi smiled and exclaimed, "Time flies!"
"Yes, five years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Mingyao sighed, "Sigh, I never thought Mr. Lin was so good to Mrs. Zhong, how did things turn out like this?"
Luo Cuilan's smile froze again, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes, which she quickly concealed in her gentle, watery peach blossom eyes. "People are not static."
"You're still young, aren't you? Are you married? Married life isn't that easy."
Mingyao tilted her head, winked at Luo Cuilan, and asked in confusion, "Why can Madam Zhong remain faithful in her marriage, but Mr. Lin can't?"
"Sister is so old, she should be married by now, otherwise how could she have so many insights about marriage?"
She looked at Luo Cuilan earnestly, her tone sincere and without the slightest malice.
Luo Cuilan said with a forced smile, "Haha, judging from your age, you should be working now."
"The workplace is like a battlefield; you can't speak with such a lack of emotional intelligence."
A sly glint appeared in Mingyao's eyes, but before anyone could notice, she reverted to her innocent, harmless little rabbit persona.
“I do have a job, but I work as a receptionist.”
She smiled and admitted, "I know I'm good for nothing except being pretty. All I can do is work as a receptionist."
Luo Cuilan looked at Mingyao with a hint of surprise, probably not expecting her to reveal her own shortcomings.
"Haha, you're such an interesting girl."
"What's your name? What company do you work for?"
Meeting her teasing gaze, Mingyao pretended not to understand and truthfully said, "My name is Su Xueya, and I work as a receptionist at the Haichang branch."
Luo Cuilan nodded thoughtfully, her smile softening. "The Haichang branch really has a wealth of talent; even the receptionist is so unique."
