Chapter 1253: Chapter 1195:
Wen Siyuan felt like strangling Su Man, his eyes seemed to be on fire: "Now listen to me clearly, whether you tell me who that man is or not, we cannot continue living like this."
"Pregnancy cycles are not always accurate."
Su Man still flatly denied.
"Based on your pregnancy cycle, damn it, I didn’t even touch you!" Perhaps in a fit of rage, Wen Siyuan raised his hand and slapped Su Man.
Su Man fell onto the bed, covering her slapped face: "The child is yours. I didn’t want to have it, so I went to the hospital to get rid of it. Believe it if you want."
She glared coldly at Wen Siyuan: "Unless I’m dead, don’t even think about divorcing me!"
Just like that, the fact that Su Man went to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy was discovered by Mrs. Wen.
"Mom, I’m doing well!"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Just did."
"When you’re pregnant, you have to be careful about everything you do, you know?"
"I know. Mom, your daughter eats, drinks, and sleeps well, and everywhere I go, someone is with me, so there’s no safety issue. But I’ll keep everything you said in mind."
"That’s good."
"Mom, thank you for all your hard work these past few months. Now Ruirui is quite the little man. If there’s anything at home that needs doing, don’t hesitate to ask him for help."
"Do I need the kids to do anything?! Your father is here! Besides, there’s no heavy work at home. I take care of everything by myself."
"Kids need to be trained as they grow up, Mom. You can consider it as training Ruirui. Things like cleaning dishes and sweeping the floor are simple chores. Not only can Ruirui do them, but Hanhan and Vivi can also do them. We’ve already discussed this."
Min Rui and the others listened to Kang Li’s words, then looked at Cai Xiufen. Min Rui said earnestly: "Grandma, Mom is right. Before Mom went abroad, my siblings and I were already doing simple chores, which you know. But recently, since Mom’s been away, you’ve stopped us from doing any work, and that’s spoiling us."
Ming Wei: "Grandma, I want to be a good child!"
Ming Han: "Good children should do chores within their ability, to lighten the burden on the elders at home."
"You’re already very good."
Cai Xiufen’s eyes filled with affection.
Perhaps outsiders wouldn’t know, but within the family, everyone knew that her precious daughter had raised the three stepchildren well. Not only were they sensible, but also thoughtful, often voluntarily doing simple chores at home.
When her daughter was around, she couldn’t stop them. These past months, with her daughter abroad, she mostly didn’t let the kids touch the chores.
Sometimes, when persuasion didn’t work, she had to let the three kids lend a hand.
Such as sorting vegetables, sweeping, wiping tables and chairs - tasks that require little effort.
Kang Li chatted with the family over the phone for about twenty minutes, then spoke separately to Luo Yanqing for a few sentences, and finally wished Captain Kang and his wife a Happy New Year, and wished Kang Guoan and his siblings progress in studies and good health for the new year, before ending the call.
Just as Kang Li hung up, sounds of arguing and things smashing came from the adjacent Wen’s house.
"What’s going on?"
Cai Xiufen and Elder sister-in-law Kang came out of the living room. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced over at the Wen’s house, and Cai Xiufen couldn’t help but mutter.
"They’re having a divorce fight!"
Elder sister-in-law Kang listened carefully, frowned, and informed Cai Xiufen.
"What nonsense!"
Cai Xiufen shook her head and went into the kitchen with Elder sister-in-law Kang.
Hearing this, Elder sister-in-law Kang nodded, expressing agreement, and said blandly: "They have no sense of propriety at all."
"Indeed, no sense of propriety." Cai Xiufen sighed, then with disdain continued: "I can’t stand the wife next door. Not only does she love to fight with her man, but she also stirs up trouble for Li Bao. But she gets nothing out of Li Bao."
Elder sister-in-law Kang: "Hearing what mom said, that woman next door might as well be a mad dog, biting anyone she catches!"
"Pretty much, you have no idea, that woman loves to cause trouble. Neighbors often talk about her behind her back." Cai Xiufen truly can’t stand Su Man, constantly dolled up, leaving all child-care to a hired nanny, devoid of any maternal qualities.
With a heavy heart, Wen Siyuan found an opportune moment, and asked directly in front of Mrs. Wen: "Mom, the other day you said there’ll be more kids. What do you mean? Also, when I left home, you and dad looked like you wanted to say something, what was that about?"
Pressed by her son’s direct questions, Mrs. Wen didn’t hide it anymore and told Wen Siyuan that a distant cousin of Wen Siyuan, who works as a gynecologist at a hospital, had once attended to a patient coincidentally, who was Su Man...
All in all, Su Man went to the hospital at the end of August to get rid of the child, conducted by Wen Siyuan’s distant cousin.
However, this distant cousin initially felt that Su Man looked a bit familiar, but couldn’t remember where they’d met, as they only had a brief encounter at Wen Siyuan’s second wedding, so she didn’t recognize Su Man right away.
As for Su Man, she had no impression of Wen Siyuan’s distant cousin at all.
Because of this, Wen Siyuan’s cousin couldn’t recall who Su Man was, performed the procedure as routine, but when she returned home after work, she suddenly realized who Su Man was.
Almost immediately, Wen Siyuan’s cousin deeply regretted it, contacted Mrs. Wen, and revealed the incident of Su Man going to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.
Simultaneously, she felt a lot of guilt.
This is how Mrs. Wen found out about Su Man going to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.
Based on the cousin’s account, Mrs. Wen thought Su Man had insisted on going to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy after a fight with Wen Siyuan, which led to her comment to Wen Siyuan "there will be more kids" and the hesitation thereafter.
Mrs. Wen didn’t want Wen Siyuan and Su Man to argue over a child that had already been terminated, so she hinted at the situation in front of Wen Siyuan.
"I did not! Where did you hear this?"
With a heart in turmoil, Su Man feigned calmness on the surface, glaring at Wen Siyuan, telling herself she must not admit to having terminated a pregnancy.
"The doctor who performed the procedure on you was named Yao, and this Doctor Yao is my distant cousin!"
With cold eyes, Wen Siyuan said through gritted teeth: "Tell me, whose child is it?" Seeing Su Man remain silent, Wen Siyuan continued: "Don’t treat me like a fool! Based on your pregnancy cycle, that child couldn’t possibly be mine!"
"Are you trying to put a green hat on yourself?"
"Pregnancy cycles are not always accurate."
Su Man still flatly denied.
"Based on your pregnancy cycle, damn it, I didn’t even touch you!" Perhaps in a fit of rage, Wen Siyuan raised his hand and slapped Su Man.
Su Man fell onto the bed, covering her slapped face: "The child is yours. I didn’t want to have it, so I went to the hospital to get rid of it. Believe it if you want."
