$1001 Meeting the Parents (Part 2)

"Child?" Madam Xiang chuckled, "I'm afraid our good daughter-in-law can't have children."

Shu Nian's face turned pale.

The old lady was shocked, "What's going on?"

After saying that, she felt that her question was too abrupt, and squeezed out a smile of apology, "I'm sorry, I asked too much, this is all private matters. I'm an outsider, I shouldn't ask."

In fact, her heart was like ants crawling, very curious, very curious.

If she really can't get an answer today, she will definitely suffer from insomnia when she goes back.

However, Madam Xiang didn't feel abrupt at all. Instead, she smiled and wanted to take over and solve the old lady's doubts. But unexpectedly, another light voice spoke first: "Madam Xiang is right, there is a high probability that I will not be able to have children in the future. When I was 18 years old, I had an ectopic pregnancy, and the rescue was not timely, so half of the fallopian tube was cut off."

When Shu Nian said this, not to mention Madam Xiang, even the old man and the old lady's faces changed to varying degrees.

The old lady originally felt very sympathetic when she heard her say that she couldn't have children. As a woman, I know how painful it is for a woman to have no children. But, listen to the last sentence...

The old man asked coldly: "At 18, you were still in high school, right?"

"That's right. So, I was persuaded to drop out of school, and now I don't even have a high school diploma!" Mrs. Xiang's tone was full of ridicule. This woman, anyway, will not be a member of their Xiang family, but she can't run away with Ye Yan. Once she has a little relationship with the Baiye family, one day, she will have to suppress her head sooner or later, how can that be!

The old man's face looked even worse, he didn't say a word, just drank a sip of water.

Shu Nian sat there, looking a little dazed.

She felt as if she had returned to five years ago, back to the stage with more than 3,000 judges. She had done nothing wrong, but she had to accept everyone's criticism.

After a while, she finally stood up and said calmly: "There are still many sheets waiting for me to wash in the hospital, so I won't accompany you for dinner."

The tone of her voice remained calm. She picked up her bag, bowed slightly to the two elders opposite, and went out without caring about what they said.

The door of the box was not completely closed when Madam Xiang said, "Old Madam, I advise you to go back and persuade Young Master Ye.

Don't be seduced by her! At the beginning, our Mu Yang was deceived by her appearance. It was only after getting married that he saw her clearly."

"It's our Ye Yan who is too ignorant, Madam Xiang, we should apologize to you."

"No, no. Young Master Ye is just playing around. How could he really like such a woman?"

The old lady sighed. This girl is not the kind of child who looks ignorant.

The two old people didn't say anything else. Shu Nian could feel that there was a hidden inquiring look projected towards her back. She straightened her back and closed the door, never looking back.

The weather is great.

The afternoon sun is a bit dazzling.

Shu Nian, carrying her bag, walks aimlessly on the street like a wandering soul. Before her wounds were torn open by others and salt was sprinkled on her wantonly, she cruelly exposed all her pain, thinking that it would hurt less, thinking that she would no longer have weaknesses that could be attacked by others.

But until now, she found...

It won't be better at all.

Even after five years, the painful place has not healed, but has ulcerated and festered...

She was so optimistic before that as long as there was someone willing to give her warmth, she would let go of everything and open her heart to embrace. However, at this moment, she realized that this world is never a straight world. There are too many entanglements and bumps in life.

How much warmth Ye Yan can give her, how much entanglement he will bring.

He can ignore her past, but it can never be erased in front of his family.

After work, Shu Nian went home as usual. As soon as he got back, he helped Aunt Gui in the kitchen.

"Shu Nian, Nian Nian?"

Aunt Gui called her twice before she came back to her senses, "Huh?"

"What happened to you? Look, the water is overflowing." Aunt Gui quickly turned off the faucet. Shu Nian looked and saw a puddle of water on the ground. She sighed. Aunt Gui muttered: "The water pipe has been blocked for two days. The plumber said he would come, but he didn't come. If it continues to be blocked, it will be impossible to clean it."

"I'll get the mop." Shu Nian said, and took the mop to mop the floor.

Aunt Gui looked at her twice, a little worried, "Are you worried about something? I see you have been distracted since you came back."

Shu Nian smiled lightly and shook her head, "... No."

Aunt Gui knew what kind of personality she had. Since her mother left them, she has always been used to suppressing all the bitterness and sourness in her heart and bearing it alone. She has suffered more than anyone else in the past few years.

Aunt Gui looked outside and said in a low voice, "Your father babbled to me for a long time today. I understood it."

"What did he say?"

"Ask me when you will return to the Xiang family! Don't say your father is sensitive. Sooner or later, he will find something wrong. Mu Yang hasn't come to see your father for so long. It's not appropriate to say he's busy."

Shu Nian tightened his hand holding the mop and looked at Aunt Gui, "Xiang Mu Yang and I are discussing divorce."

Aunt Gui was shocked.

She quickly covered her mouth.

She looked outside carefully again, "Just tell me this, don't tell your dad! You know, your dad hates divorces the most since your mom passed away. If he knew, he would be so angry again."

"I know." Shu Nian's face was gloomy, "I will keep it a secret from my dad. When he gets better, I will move out, and he won't find out."

"Where are you moving out?"

"I'll find a small house to live in when the time comes, just for emergency. But I have to wait until I finish my exams before I can talk about this."

Aunt Gui was worried and looked at Shu Nian for a long time, "Is there nothing to talk about between you two? Do you have to get a divorce?"

Shu Nian shook his head, "No more to talk about."

The tone was decisive and tough, and there was no room for maneuver at all.

Aunt Gui didn't say anything else on the side, just sighed secretly.

——————

During this period of time, Ye Yan and Xiang Muyang both called her. The two of them, as if they had discussed it beforehand, went back and forth, and had a lot of fun.

Shu Nian didn't answer any of them.

She knew that the two of them must be fighting to the death in the business world.

She didn't want to know what Xiang Muyang was like. She already felt a little disgusted by the way Madam Xiang looked in front of the two elders of the Bai family that day.

As for Ye Yan...

She knew that with his personality, he would never let himself lose.
