Xu Tingchuan put his arm around her shoulder, gently rubbed it, and comforted her, "Don't be angry."
"How could I not be angry? My cousin is pregnant, and he's accompanying that woman to her prenatal checkup!" She was practically trembling with rage.
"They'll handle it themselves." Xu Tingchuan took a rather rational view of the issue.
Ni Sitian glanced at him and felt somewhat disheartened when she saw that he didn't share her sense of righteous indignation.
They had a small argument about this last time, and she knew she shouldn't escalate the issue or involve him.
But seeing how rational and calm he was, I always felt that his stance was biased towards the man.
She secretly felt a little resentful and didn't speak to him the whole way home.
Xu Tingchuan assumed she was angry with Li Shaoan, which was why she hadn't spoken, so he didn't say anything more, hoping she could calm down on her own.
After dropping her off at home, he went to the company.
As Ni Sitian entered the house, she thought of Li Shaoan and Zhang Yijia, and couldn't help but worry about Ni Tianzhen.
So, I made the call.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered. Ni Tianzhen's voice sounded somewhat weak: "Hello."
"Sister, what's wrong?" Ni Sitian asked worriedly, sensing something was off about her voice.
"It's nothing, I just threw up," Ni Tianzhen replied weakly.
Ni Sitian's nose suddenly stung with tears. Li Shaoan was with another woman, while Ni Tianzhen was still suffering from the hardships of pregnancy. She couldn't hold back anymore: "Sister, I ran into him and that woman today..."
“I guessed it.” Ni Tianzhen weakly interrupted her, giving a bitter smile: “He hasn’t been home for two days, and he said he was on a business trip.”
"Are you just going to let him have his cake and eat it too? Let him have two women on his left and right and enjoy the bliss of having two wives?" Ni Sitian couldn't understand why Ni Tianzhen, who was usually so strong and decisive, was so timid in handling this matter.
“You don’t understand. We’ve been together for seven years, and now we have a child. He’ll come back to me.” Ni Tianzhen seemed to be convincing Ni Sitian, or perhaps convincing herself, murmuring, “He will come back to this family. He definitely will.”
Ni Sitian pursed her lips, her voice slightly hoarse as she spoke: "Sister, there's something you might not know. Actually, she mistook me for you before, and she's already contacted me. She even gave me ten million because she's pregnant and wants..."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a loud thud as her phone hit the ground.
"Sister, sister, sister!" Ni Sitian called out anxiously.
After a while, the phone was picked up again, and Ni Tianzhen's voice was heard faintly asking, "You said she's pregnant?"
Hearing her voice like that, Ni Sitian felt both worried and heartbroken. She didn't know if it was right or wrong for her to bring this up, but since she had already said it, she should make it clear. She bit her lip and said, "Yes, she is almost three months pregnant. Li Shaoan accompanied her to her prenatal checkup today."
After he finished speaking, there was silence on the other end for a long time, as if everyone had stopped breathing.
Ni Sitian's eyes reddened slightly, and she choked up a little: "Sister, face it, have a heart-to-heart talk with him. You don't want this child to end up like me, stuck in such an awkward and abnormal family situation."
Ni Tianzhen's current situation is remarkably similar to that of her mother back then, except that her father was even more unscrupulous than Li Shaoan, taking both the mother and daughter into his home and living such an absurd life with one wife and one concubine for five years.
Later, her mother went insane due to depression and one night set a fire, intending to burn the whole family, including her, to death.
She was terrified that Ni Tianzhen would follow in her mother's footsteps.
In a marriage involving three people, sooner or later one person will be hurt the most and the most.
