Li Tingting was right; Mu Jingwan was questioned by her mother-in-law that very night when she returned home.
"What did your sister-in-law want to see you at the factory today?"
"It's nothing, she wanted to talk business with me." Mu Jingwan's eyes flickered, and she did as Li Tingting said.
"Wait a minute." Su's mother noticed that Mu Jingwan's neck was red, and she frowned. "What happened to you?"
"I accidentally did it myself," Mu Jingwan tried to brush it off, but Su's mother didn't believe her and pressed for an answer.
"Tell me the truth, what really happened! Does she know you're not pregnant?"
Su's mother pressed her for answers, and Mu Jingwan, seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, had no choice but to say, "She's jealous."
Su's mother looked at Mu Jingwan with suspicion, clearly not believing what she said.
"envy?"
"Yes, of course she's jealous that I can get pregnant. If I give birth to a son, her position in the Su family will be directly threatened." Mu Jingwan's words were half true and half false, and Su's mother didn't know whether to believe her or not.
"Mother, I'm tired today. I'll go back to my room and rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Mu Jingwan understood the principle that too much talk leads to mistakes, so she couldn't say anything else.
Su's mother nodded thoughtfully, "Perhaps."
She knew very well what kind of temper her eldest daughter-in-law had.
That's exactly what Li Tingting was capable of doing.
Luckily, she didn't know the woman outside was pregnant, otherwise she would have killed her on the spot.
As Su's mother thought this, a chill inexplicably rose down her back. Li Tingting was clearly trying to kill off the Su family line; her heart was truly vicious.
If it weren't for the fact that the Li family was a good match, I would never have allowed my son to marry Li Tingting.
In other families, it's usually the mother-in-law who makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law, but in her case, it's completely the opposite.
The daughter-in-law embarrassed her mother-in-law, and Su's mother had tolerated it for a long time, but she still had to coax her every time they met.
Exhausted, Mu Jingwan returned to her guest room. She didn't have to take care of Su Zhixiang throughout her "pregnancy" and could stay here to rest.
It's been a rare moment of peace and quiet since I married into this family.
Mu Jingwan sat on the edge of the bed, unwilling to move an inch.
A short while later, she heard the sound of wheelchair wheels outside. Mu Jingwan looked up and saw that Su Zhixiang was still awake.
"You wouldn't be waiting here for me on purpose, just to mess with me, would you?"
Mu Jingwan spoke weakly, lifting her eyelids slightly, "Speak, what do you want to see me about?"
"Did your sister-in-law cause you trouble?" Su Zhixiang also noticed the red marks on Mu Jingwan's neck. Anyone with eyes could tell what caused them.
"Um."
Mu Jingwan nodded in agreement, “I’m your family’s punching bag right now. Anyone who doesn’t like me can come and kick me. If you’re unhappy about something, you can say a few words now, and then leave. I’m tired.”
Su Zhixiang stared at Mu Jingwan for a while with complicated emotions, and after a long time, he said, "I didn't mean that. Since you feel that you have suffered such a great injustice, why don't you really get pregnant!"
Mu Jingwan's face tightened, and she sat up straight. "Are you crazy?"
Su Zhixiang has problems in that area; he will never have children in his life.
"Whether I'm crazy or not, you'll find out if you try." Su Zhixiang pushed his wheelchair closer to Mu Jingwan. "Are you really willing to raise my brother's son?"
Mu Jingwan was unwilling, but what could she do? She had no other choice.
"Mu Jingwan, I'm not reconciled either. Why should I raise someone else's son for nothing?" Su Zhixiang lowered his voice, the last few syllables filled with gritted teeth and hatred. "Only if you get pregnant will they think of other ways."
The Su family is awful!
Mu Jingwan noticed that none of them seemed normal.
She got up to go out for some fresh air, but Su Zhixiang suddenly grabbed Mu Jingwan's wrist and pulled her into his arms. "Why are you running? I can't have children, but I have a way to get you pregnant. As long as you don't say anything, the child in your belly will be mine. It's better than me raising someone else's child."
"That's your older brother's son, he's related to you by blood! What do you think my child is to you?" Mu Jingwan tried to break free from the man's grip, but after several attempts, she couldn't budge him an inch.
"Hehe, I just don't want Su Zhifei to have an easy time."
Hatred surged in Su Zhixiang's eyes.
Mu Jingwan didn't want things to be like this.
If she really does that, her mother-in-law will definitely not let her off the hook.
Furthermore, Su Zhixiang has absolutely no "real power" in this family, so offending Su Zhifei is clearly not a wise move.
Mu Jingwan didn't want to have no way out. She would rather raise Su Zhifei's son than have a child of unknown origin.
She struggled to her feet and accidentally slapped Su Zhixiang across the face. The man seemed to be angered by her and pushed her away forcefully.
Mu Jingwan was shoved hard on the shoulder and fell onto the bed behind her, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
"Disobedient? Then you need to be taught a lesson!"
With a loud "slap," Su Zhixiang's fists rained down, leaving Mu Jingwan unable to move in pain.
Su Zhixiang has been using his hands to push his wheelchair for many years, and the muscles in his arms are very strong.
Mu Jingwan felt as if all the bones in her body were about to shatter, as Su Zhixiang only attacked places that others couldn't see.
In her dazed state, Mu Jingwan saw Su's mother at the door, but before she could even cry for help, her mother-in-law pretended not to see her and left.
...The next day, Mu Jingwan appeared at the hospital's cardiovascular clinic. Lin Zhaoyue noticed that she was wrapped up quite tightly, and it wasn't anything shameful. But the next moment, when she saw the bruises on Mu Jingwan's arm, Lin Zhaoyue's pupils dilated sharply. Had she been beaten?
Obviously, a normal fall wouldn't have resulted in this kind of injury.
Mu Jingwan seemed to want Lin Zhaoyue to see more clearly, her voice was indifferent, "I hope you can perform the surgery on Su Zhixiang."
"I'm not qualified to perform surgery right now. You've come to the wrong person."
After Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, she paused for a moment, "Moreover, Su Zhixiang's condition is not suitable for surgery, as there would be risks during the procedure."
"Yes, that's the risk I want. I hope he dies on the operating table. As long as you talk to your teacher and ask him to persuade Su Zhixiang to have the surgery, I know he won't survive!"
"..." Lin Zhaoyue would not get involved in any personal grudges; this was her family matter.
"Mu Jingwan, I won't help you."
Lin Zhaoyue would never do anything that violates medical ethics.
"Lin Zhaoyue! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state now. You're happy, aren't you? Happy that my life is worse than yours. What kind of life did you live in the Jiang family? What kind of life am I living now! Heh, Su Zhixiang and I, one of us will die sooner or later, it's either him or me."
"You don't need to come here and say these things to me. I have no interest in your family's affairs. Please don't disturb other patients' treatment."
Lin Zhao issued a dismissal order under the moonlight.
Mu Jingwan came to her for help? Ha, which of the two of them is crazy!
