Chapter 43 Just Don’t Know About That
Li Luo stood up for Shang Wanwan. She had no good feelings towards Huo Dongming since she found out about his affair.
Who allowed her to bully Shang Wanwan like this?
"No. I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow."
Huo Dongming found the best medical team for Shang Hangyuan, and she thought her father should be fine.
She asked Chen Yao on WeChat, and Chen Yao told her to stay at home and not worry about her father, as she was with him.
Shang Yi will go back eventually. Once the child is born, Shang Xingyuan and Chen Yao will be the grandparents. She hopes they can slowly accept her leaving Huo Dongming.
This will take time, and the prerequisite is that she must get Shang Xingyuan to agree to her divorce.
It is so difficult, but for the future, she has to work hard.
"I'll go with you. You're pregnant..."
Li Luo realized that he almost let the cat out of the bag, so he stopped himself.
Shang Wanwan also became nervous. Fortunately, the servants did not have the habit of peeping or eavesdropping on their masters' conversations. At this time, they were all doing their own things and no one noticed that Li Luo had stopped talking in time.
"Don't you need to answer the call?"
She was afraid of affecting Li Luo's work.
"What the hell, I work 300 days out of 365 days a year, so why don't you let me rest? I'll go with you."
Shang Wanwan felt warm in her heart.
"I have an appointment later. I'll pick you up to see your uncle tomorrow."
Li Luo drove away, and Shang Wanwan didn't return to the house until her car disappeared.
Huo Dongming came back very early in the evening, but he stayed downstairs and never went upstairs.
Shang Wanwan was nervous and afraid when she saw him.
Fortunately, he didn't touch her all night, and Shang Wanwan found that her right side was empty in the middle of the night.
Maybe Huo Dongming went to the study.
Both of them were unhappy during this period.
Li Luo came to see her on time the next afternoon. She packed up simply and went to the hospital to see Shang Xingyuan together.
Huo Dongming helped, and Shang Xingyuan's condition was well controlled.
Chen Yao saw that Shang Wanwan was just reminding her not to say anything that would make Zhaoshang Xingyuan angry.
Li Luo glanced at the cautious Chen Yao indifferently. For some reason, he always felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
Although Li Luo and Shang Wanwan have been friends for many years, this is the first time he meets her parents.
"Dad, are you feeling better?"
Shang Wanwan became inexplicably nervous when she walked into the ward, as if she had done something wrong.
"You won't die for now. Go back and thank Dong Ming for me. Did you give your mother-in-law the bird's nest I asked you to take back?"
Shang Xingyuan never mentioned what happened last time with Shang Wanwan again. He was still concerned about the bird's nest.
Yuan Yi looked down upon the things in their house. Shang Wanwan didn't dare to say that she had eaten them, but just nodded randomly.
Li Luo couldn't stand it any longer and since she was a straightforward person, she couldn't help but interrupt.
"Uncle, I think you should stop making things difficult for Wanwan. The Huo family doesn't take Wanwan seriously at all. Do you know what kind of life Wanwan has been leading in the Huo family?"
Shang Wanwan gently tugged at Li Luo's arm. Shang Xingyuan, who was sitting on the hospital bed, wanted to lecture Shang Wanwan as a father, but was interrupted by Li Luo and forgot what he wanted to say.
"This is——"
Shang Xingyuan would not easily reveal his emotions in front of others. He just looked at Li Luo with an indifferent expression.
"Dad, she is my good friend, Li Luo, I told you about her."
Shang Xingyuan nodded slightly.
"Ms. Li cares a lot about my daughter, thank you. But I am also doing this for Wanwan's sake. The Huo family is the only one in the entire East City that is rich enough to rival a country. Many people want to marry Huo Dongming but cannot.
Our business is already going downhill, and we can't give Wanwan anything. She can only continue to live a good life if she marries into the Huo family. I am sorry for her."
After Shang Xingyuan said this, Li Luo felt embarrassed to blame him.
Shang Wanwan's face turned pale.
My father never said these words to me.
Li Luo was patient.
"Uncle, have you asked Wanwan? Maybe she just wants to live an ordinary life."
Shang Wanwan couldn't even give birth to a child on her own. Li Luo felt so sorry for her that she couldn't help but want to help persuade Shang Xingyuan.
If Shang Hangyuan was willing to accept Shang Wanwan back, she wouldn't have to follow Huo Dongming, and she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to hide her pregnancy.
"Ordinary person? From the moment she married into the Huo family, she was destined not to live an ordinary life."
An unhappy expression began to appear on Shang Xingyuan's face.
"Wanwan, Dad is glad you came to see me, but I'm tired now, you can go back. I'll be taken care of by your mom."
The merchant company ordered them to leave, Shang Wanwan was helpless and Li Luo was angry.
"Uncle, can't you put yourself in Wanwan's shoes and consider her?"
It was the first time she had seen such selfish parents.
"Li Luo, let's go."
Shang Wanwan didn't want to argue with her father anymore, so Shang Xingyuan simply turned his face away, making it clear that he didn't want to talk anymore.
Li Luo and Shang Wanwan left the hospital. When they reached the door, Li Luo stopped.
"Wanwan, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
What should she do as a girl in her early twenties? Is she really going to live in a rented house with no money and a big belly?
Shang Wanwan’s eyes darkened.
"You've also seen my father's attitude. He doesn't want me to leave the Huo family at all."
Li Luo was very angry.
"Are you really their biological child? They knew it was a hell of a pit but still pushed you into it."
Shang Wanwan murmured.
"I remember my parents were very kind to me when I was little. They bought me whatever I wanted. My eldest brother also doted on me."
Everything changed at some point. The terrible thing that Shang Xingyuan did was a huge blow to Shang Jia. If it weren't for Huo Dongming's promise to help her after she got together with him, Shang Jia would have disappeared long ago.
"You can't sacrifice your life's happiness to fulfill their wishes."
Li Luo couldn't bear to see Shang Wanwan sad.
Back then, Li Luo was still a street thug. It was Shang Wanwan, the daughter of a wealthy family, who saved her and paid off her ex-boyfriend’s gambling debts, so that she was not beaten to death.
Her life belongs to Shang Wanwan.
"It can't be called a fulfillment, but it's just a way to repay their kindness in raising me."
Shang Wanwan didn't take it seriously. Compared to what Huo Dongming did to her, her parents' little thoughts were nothing.
Li Luo sighed: "If you have any trouble, come to me anytime. You're welcome."
Shang Wan got into Li Luo's car at night. Chen Yao returned to the ward only after seeing them leave completely.
"Has that damn girl been having a conflict with Master Huo recently? She keeps coming back to pick a fight."
Shang Xingyuan felt something was wrong. Shang Wanwan didn't come back so often before. Even though he was sick, he just called a few times. And he even went to question him.
Unless he had a falling out with Huo Dongming, how would he know about what happened to him three years ago?
“I’m not sure about that either. It’s common for couples to quarrel.
Chen Yao looked worried: "As long as she doesn't know about that, it's fine."
Shang Xingyuan snorted coldly: "So what if she knows? Would she dare to turn against me?"
