Chapter 188 Between Water and Clouds (XI)

A year later, Wang Zixuan suddenly retched over the fish soup during a dinner at Zuima Art Club. Cuiping paused while picking up food, feeling a little disgusted. If Wang Zimo hadn't wanted to hold a celebration banquet for the exhibition that had just ended, she wouldn't have come.

Everyone has seen Wang Zixuan's morning sickness when she was pregnant. Seeing her reaction, Gu Yunong blurted out, "Zixuan, are you pregnant?"

Zhong Shuqi dropped his chopsticks and rushed to Wang Zixuan's side. He gently patted her back and smiled in surprise, "Great! We have a baby!"

Gu Yunong's joy had not faded yet. When he heard Zhong Shuqi's words, he immediately turned around and glared at him and said angrily, "Mr. Zhong! What do you mean? Zixuan is pregnant with my child!"

Zhong Shuqi's face was not good either. "What are you crazy about? How can the child be yours? You and Zixuan have divorced a long time ago!" I don't know what he thought of. He stopped and looked down at Wang Zixuan and asked, "Zixuan, what's going on? Tell him that you are pregnant with my child!"

Gu Yunong was so angry that he yelled, "Mr. Zhong! How dare you take advantage of Zixuan! You are despicable and shameless!" He stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Shuqi's collar and was about to start.

Wang Zimo slammed the chopsticks on the table fiercely, his face livid. "Enough!" He stared straight at Wang Zixuan, and the anger in his eyes made Wang Zixuan shrink. "Zixuan, tell me! What's going on? Are you pregnant? Why are they vying to be the father of the child? What about Mei Ruohong? Does he know?"

Wang Zixuan's face turned pale, her hands trembled slightly, and she looked at a loss and speechless. Cuiping put down her bowl and chopsticks. It was not appropriate to leave at this time. Let's wait and see. At this point, it seems that their grand drama is about to end. It's better to have less contact with them in the future.

Wang Zixuan was very flustered. She really didn't think she would be pregnant. Facing her brother's questioning, she dodged her eyes and dared not look at anyone. Why are they vying to be the father, because even she doesn't know whose child it is! Zhong Shuqi has been in love with her for many years. He accompanied her and comforted her when she was most lost and sad. She was also angry for a while, thinking that since Mei Ruohong cheated, why can't she? That's why she crossed the bottom line with Zhong Shuqi.

As for Gu Yunong, after the divorce, she knew her ex-husband much better and regarded him as her good friend. Sometimes Gu Yunong's caring words and affectionate eyes moved her. After all, they had been husband and wife and had done intimate things. They relived their old dreams in a daze.

She and Mei Ruohong had been in a cold war and had ignored each other for a long time. Sometimes no one even asked her when she didn't go home. So now she was suddenly pregnant. The child might be Gu Yunong's or Zhong Shuqi's, but it couldn't be her husband Mei Ruohong's. Wang Zixuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She said to Wang Zimo: "Brother, I, I want to abort..."

Before Wang Zixuan finished speaking, Gu Yunong and Zhong Shuqi both shouted, "No!" She was startled. She covered her face and cried, "I can't have this child. I don't want this child. Brother, please, let me abort him."

Gu Yunong and Zhong Shuqi stared at each other fiercely. When they heard Wang Zixuan's collapse and cried, they hurriedly coaxed her in a low voice. Wang Zimo looked at the two men and one woman in front of him, his chest heaving violently. He never thought that his sister would do such a thing. Seeing that Wang Zixuan was half-held in the arms of the two men and did not resist, he could no longer hold back his anger.

He stood up, and his strength was so great that he even knocked over the chair behind him. He walked to Wang Zixuan with a few big steps and pushed Gu Yunong and Zhong Shuqi away. After all, he was Wang Zixuan's elder brother and a friend who had known each other for many years. The two staggered but did not say a word, and they all watched his actions.

Wang Zimo stared at Wang Zixuan and asked coldly: "Whose child is it?"

Wang Zixuan had never seen her brother lose his temper so much, and she was very scared. After hesitating for a long time, she cried and said, "I don't know."

Wang Zimo clenched his fist, raised his hand and slapped him. Wang Zixuan was stunned, covering her face and looking at Wang Zimo in disbelief. She had never been slapped in her life, and the first slap was actually given by her own brother!

The room suddenly became quiet. When everyone came to their senses, Shen Zhiwen, who was closest to Wang Zimo, stood up and patted his shoulder, advising: "Zimo, calm down. No one wants this to happen. Uh, should we go to the hospital to check Zixuan first? I heard that being too emotional can cause miscarriage."

Wang Zimo laughed in anger, pointed at Wang Zixuan and sneered: "Do you think this is the openness of women in the new era? Avant-garde? What do you think of yourself? Have you ever cherished yourself? Ah? If you don't even respect yourself, who can you expect to love you?! What's more, you are still a married woman! Have you thought about your son?!"

Wang Zixuan was shocked and her face turned pale. She just wanted true love. Was she wrong? Zhong Shuqi and Gu Yunong both loved her sincerely, didn't they? She turned to look at the two of them, and indeed saw worry in their eyes. For a moment, the rebellious factor in her heart surfaced again. She slowly straightened up, raised her head and said, "Brother, this is not anyone's child, he is my child! I will give birth to him and raise him alone."

Wang Zimo gritted his teeth and asked, "What about Mei Ruohong?"

Wang Zixuan was silent for a while, looked out the window and said, "I will divorce him."

At this time, her face was expressionless, as if such a big scandal had nothing to do with her. Wang Zimo rubbed his forehead tiredly. That's all. He saw that he couldn't take care of this sister at all. He should notify her parents to take her away. If this goes on, he suspects that he will strangle her to death.

Although Wang Zimo had a plan in his mind, he didn't say it out loud, otherwise these people would definitely make trouble again. Seeing Wang Zixuan's pale face, he took a coat and put it on her, "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up. Since you want this child, nothing can go wrong."

Gu Yunong and Zhong Shuqi hurriedly chased after them. Cuiping and the remaining three looked at each other and felt that they should go over to see. The three of them were a little worried, while Cuiping just wanted to watch the show. In order to make the show more exciting, she even lagged behind a few steps and gave two passers-by hypnotic suggestions at the corner, asking them to "coincidentally" notify Mei Ruohong and Mrs. Zhong.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that Wang Zixuan was too emotional. Although she looked fine now, her complexion was really scary. It would be better for her to stay in the hospital for observation for a day. Not long after, Mei Ruohong and Mei's mother arrived at the hospital, and Mei's father was left at home to take care of the baby.

Cuiping didn't expect Mei's mother to appear. She hurried over to help her and took her to the wall and whispered what happened. Fearing that the old lady would be angry, she used her spiritual power to help Mei's mother comb her body while using euphemisms. Even so, Mei's mother still felt black in front of her eyes, but fortunately she didn't feel chest tightness or shortness of breath, and she recovered immediately.

At this time, Mei Ruohong also knew the news of Wang Zixuan's pregnancy. He rushed to the bed excitedly and roared, "You bitch! You committed adultery with a wild man and got pregnant with a bastard! I will kill you!"

Zhong Shuqi was knocked aside by him. Fortunately, Gu Yunong pushed Mei Ruohong hard, so he didn't fall on the bed. Wang Zixuan was really scared this time. She curled up her legs and huddled at the head of the bed, looking at Mei Ruohong in horror.

With messy hair, sloppy clothes, stubble on his face, and red eyes, Mei Ruohong looked like a ghost in Wang Zixuan's eyes. With her scream, Mei's mother also entered the ward. Seeing the two men protecting her daughter-in-law and her son lying on the ground, she pointed at Wang Zixuan and cursed: "You bitch! My Mei family is so unfortunate. How could we marry such a shameless thing like you! You have been doing things outside and even had a bastard! You are so shameless!" When she was excited, Mei's mother took off her shoes and threw them at Wang Zixuan. If Cuiping hadn't been holding her back, she would definitely pounce on Wang Zixuan and fight to the death.

Seeing that she was very angry, Cuiping moved her fingers slightly to cast the wind spell with her shoes and smashed them hard on Wang Zixuan's face, letting Mei's mother vent her anger. The old man has been in the countryside all his life and has always been very conservative. In the countryside, anyone who has such a daughter-in-law will be mad, and just scolding her is too light!

Others could not speak out. It was obviously Wang Zixuan's fault. Although Gu Yunong and Zhong Shuqi wanted to fight back, the other party was a simple old lady and they could not open their mouths for a while. After Mei's mother scolded for a while, Mrs. Zhong entered the ward with a few guards. She glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, looked at Zhong Shuqi and said coldly: "Shuqi, come home with me."

Zhong Shuqi saw that his mother was obviously short of breath, "Mom, Zixuan is pregnant with my child, Mom..."

"Shuqi!" Mrs. Zhong's stern voice made Zhong Shuqi shut up. She looked at Wang Zixuan with contempt, but said to Zhong Shuqi, "Can this Mrs. Mei really be sure that the child is yours? Our Zhong family will never allow such a fickle woman to enter the door, nor will we accept children with unknown fathers."

Zhong Shuqi clenched his fists and glanced at Wang Zixuan but didn't know what to say. Although his mother's words were unpleasant, Wang Zixuan really didn't know whose child it was. He was also very uncomfortable. He thought that the goddess he had liked for many years finally favored him, but he didn't expect that the goddess was behind his back and was hot with her ex-husband.

Mrs. Zhong frowned impatiently, "Shuqi, why don't you leave?"

Zhong Shuqi hesitated for a moment, and seeing that his mother's face was getting uglier and uglier, he whispered "I'm sorry" and quickly left with Mrs. Zhong.

Cui Ping had already picked up Mei's mother's shoes and put them on for her. Mei Ruohong got up drunk and made a scene again, and Wang Zimo and others were busy holding him back. Everyone in the ward looked bad. Wang Zixuan had been completely confused by a series of blows, and she lay in Gu Yunong's arms and cried bitterly. There were two young nurses standing at the door, shouting that no noise was allowed.

Cui Ping wiped Mei's mother's tears and advised, "Mom, let's go. They are going to get divorced after all. It's okay to have a fight. Don't get angry and hurt yourself. Dad and the baby are still waiting at home."

Mei's mother looked back at the chaotic group of people again, and confirmed that they were just stopping her son and had no intention of hurting him, so she didn't care, nodded, and walked out with Cui Ping.

The author has something to say: Thank you for the landmine from Mifan, muah~(*￣3￣)╭

Well, I wanted to be sad at the end, but I didn’t finish the chapter. I’ll sadize Yixuan in this chapter, and Qianqian and Mei Ruohong in the next chapter, and then it’s over╮(￣▽￣";)╭
