She stepped on the gas and drove to the maternity and infant hospital.
Wearing high heels, Song Nuan walked gracefully to the door of the ward.
In the ward, Song Zhiren and his stepmother Zhou Min surrounded Song Ningxue's bedside, showing concern and care, their eyes filled with heartache.
Qin Yuchuan stood by, holding Song Ningxue's hand tightly.
Qin's parents were also there, but they stood at a distance, watching this scene with rather unpleasant expressions.
Song Nuan stood at the door for a long time, thinking of her mother.
If her mother were still alive, she would feel sorry for her seeing how much she suffered for the inheritance.
Coming to her senses, she knocked on the ward door.
In the ward, everyone's eyes were on her.
Song Zhiren and Zhou Min's faces instantly darkened.
Song Ningxue lowered her head, looking very sad.
Qin's parents were startled and quickly stepped forward.
Qin's mother felt a little guilty and worried: "Nuan Nuan, why are you here? Go home quickly, we can talk about it at home."
Song Nuan smiled and said, "Mom, Yu Chuan called me over. Is Xiao Xue's baby alright?"
Qin's mother's smile froze on the spot as she looked at Song Nuan with a face full of guilt.
Qin Yuchuan stepped forward, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Song Nuan. "Did you do it?"
Song Nuan asked in confusion, "What do you mean, did I do it?"
Snap!
He slapped Song Nuan hard across the face, his tone becoming more forceful: "Did you do this?!"
Song Nuan never expected him to make a move.
Caught off guard, I received a solid slap.
She covered her rapidly swelling left cheek, her eyes filled with intense murderous intent as she stared at Qin Yuchuan.
Qin's mother quickly stepped forward to stop Qin Yuchuan, "Xiaochuan! What are you doing! Can't you talk things out? How could you hit Nuannuan!"
"Mom! She almost killed Xiaoxue's unborn child! That's my own flesh and blood, your own grandson! Even now, you're still siding with her?"
Qin's mother lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Chuan, have you forgotten that you were the one who cheated on your spouse? You did such a terrible thing, and instead of thinking about how to make it up to Nuan Nuan, you even dared to lay a hand on her? You have disappointed your mother so much! Apologize to Nuan Nuan right now!"
"Mom! Don't get involved in trivial matters! This woman is not as innocent and harmless as you think. She hired all the official media in Liangcheng to surround Xiaoxue and me, leaving me no way out. She's completely aiming to ruin the Qin family's reputation!"
Qin's mother was stunned, looking at Song Nuan with a slightly suspicious gaze.
Qin Yuchuan looked directly at her: "Song Nuan, speak up! You've done everything, why are you pretending to be mute!"
A look of desolation filled Song Nuan's eyes: "Yu Chuan, all these years I've never doubted what you and Ning Xue were doing abroad. Now that she's pregnant and back in the country, I've become the biggest clown, and yet you still want to pin something that has nothing to do with me on me. What am I? What is our marriage?"
Qin Yuchuan was utterly disgusted: "Stop putting on this victim act! Didn't I tell you on our wedding night that I was willing to marry you to fulfill the agreement between my grandfather and your grandfather?"
You were the one who shamelessly begged me not to divorce you, and now you're acting like a victim to whom?
Snap!
Song Nuan swung her arm and slapped Qin Yuchuan hard across the face!
The sound of a slap echoed throughout the ward.
The Song family was stunned.
Mr. Qin was stunned, and Mrs. Qin cried out in fright.
Song Nuan herself burst into tears first: "Yes, because of your merciless words, I was already heartbroken. I never do anything out of line because of our promise. How could what happened today be my doing? The media will definitely question the marks left by this slap. If I return it now, they will believe it's just a family matter."
Qin Yuchuan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
On the contrary, almost everyone else was persuaded by Song Nuan.
"Song Nuan!"
Song Ningxue, whose face was deathly pale in the ward, was furious.
She struggled to get out of bed, supporting her protruding belly, and glared fiercely at Song Nuan: "Who gave you permission to lay a hand on Brother Chuan? Who do you think you are! How dare you hit him!"
Song Nuan lowered her eyes. "Ningxue, you're already seen as a mistress by everyone. If it weren't for you, Yu Chuan wouldn't have been publicly judged. You're the one who should have taken this slap. I even suspect that you called these people because you were afraid the child wouldn't have a legitimate status?"
The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the ward became tense.
Even Qin's mother scrutinized Song Zhiren, asking, "If that's really the case, isn't your second daughter a bit too scheming?"
Zhou Min was immediately speechless.
"you!"
Song Ningxue clutched her chest, coughed hard twice because she couldn't catch her breath, and then started to sob.
"Dad, Mom, my sister is blaming me for being with Chuan Ge and getting pregnant with his child. But Chuan Ge clearly told her that the marriage was only to fulfill Grandpa's wish, and she insisted on not getting a divorce. Now she's saying this. Dad, I feel so wronged."
Zhou Min, eager to protect her daughter, angrily said, "Nuan Nuan, the one who isn't loved is the mistress. Xue'er is also the legitimate fruit of their love! But since Xiao Chuan chose your sister, you can't congratulate him, and you don't need to speak rudely."
"Your father is still alive. When you were little, you called me 'Mom' a few times. Is this how we raised you? People will think you were born but not raised properly, and they'll blame your father and me."
The phrase "born of a mother but not taught by one" touched a nerve with Song Nuan.
A murderous glint appeared in her starry eyes.
You can say whatever you want about her, but you can't say anything about her mother.
She grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table and walked up to Zhou Min: "Your daughter certainly has a good mother, how could she raise a child who got pregnant out of wedlock and became a third party in someone else's marriage? It's true that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. I'll correct the upper beam first!"
