After lunch, Wu Ma went to the hospital.
All afternoon, Xiang Wanwan felt her eyelids twitching, as if something big was about to happen.
In the evening, Sister Wang came over in a hurry.
"Wanwan, something's happened!"
"Your stepsister is holding a child and is about to jump into the sea!"
Xiang Wanwan paused in her grip on Chenchen's arm.
Jump into the sea?
Xiang Shuxue?
Wasn't she at the hospital taking care of Li Jinglan?
"What is she making a fuss about now?"
Xiang Shuxue's vacation was about to end, and she would soon be going back to work. Why would she jump into the sea now? Could it be that something happened to Li Jinglan?
"Where is Li Jinglan? Sister-in-law."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Wu rushed in.
"Madam, something has happened."
"Li Jinglan gave birth to a daughter, then suffered a difficult labor and severe bleeding...and died."
Xiang Wanwan tightened her grip on the child.
How could it just disappear like that?
Could Xiang Shuxue's jumping into the sea be related to this?
Where is Xiang Xinrong?
"I just went to look for him, but I couldn't find him."
That scumbag dad is unbelievable! His wife died, his daughter wanted to jump into the sea, and he couldn't even find her!
Xiang Wanwan handed the child to Wu Ma, then grabbed her coat from the bed and wrapped it around herself.
"Sister Wang, come on! I'll go to the beach with you."
"No, madam, you're still in your postpartum confinement period!"
Xiang Wanwan paused. Although she didn't like Xiang Shuxue, the child was innocent after all, and she couldn't let her die with the child.
Moreover, Li Jinglan just died, leaving behind an infant. If something were to happen to her...
"Aunt Wu, I'm fine! Watch over the child, I'll be back soon."
She went out the door with Sister Wang.
They soon arrived at the beach, where a large crowd had already gathered.
Xiang Shuxue, dressed in thin clothes, stood on the shore holding her child, who was crying in her arms.
Xiang Wanwan immediately stepped forward.
"Xiang Shuxue!"
Xiang Shuxue turned her head and was somewhat surprised to see Xiang Wanwan.
"I didn't expect you to arrive before Dad!"
"Sister, thank you! If it weren't for you, Mom might not have been able to give birth and would have died at home."
"And last time you had someone take me to the hospital."
"I've always been jealous of you and have done many wrong things. I hope you can forgive me!"
Xiang Wanwan was somewhat shocked.
This was the first time Xiang Shuxue had ever genuinely called her "sister"!
"Come here first, it's too dangerous here."
"And the child is so young!"
Xiang Shuxue looked down at the child in her arms, and then tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
“Since having the baby, I’ve felt so tired. I have to take care of the baby every day, and my wife Chen keeps arguing with me every day. Yan Qingsong never speaks up for me.”
"I regret it so much, why did I marry him!"
"Or perhaps, I shouldn't have given birth to this child; his father doesn't even know he exists!"
Those around him widened their eyes upon hearing this.
"What? Isn't this child from the Yan family?"
"Good heavens! If Granny Chen finds out, she'll cause a huge uproar!"
“I just heard that her mother died in childbirth at the hospital. She couldn’t be saved, and Principal Xiang didn’t even show up.”
"No wonder he jumped into the sea; his whole family is a handful."
"But the child is pitiful!"
Upon hearing these remarks, Xiang Shuxue curled her lips into a cold smile.
She originally thought that by becoming a young lady of the Xiang family, she could have whatever she wanted.
Little did I know that this was just the beginning of the abyss!
The mother and daughter had to live at the mercy of Xinrong's mood every day, and after arriving on the island, he treated them worse and worse each day.
Even when Granny Chen bullied them, Xiang Xinrong never stood up for them.
