Seeing me, Lou Shaotang was startled for a moment. After that, his face became pale, and he did not reveal any emotion, nor did he speak to me.
He's still mad at me, I think.
Hearing that I was apologizing to Ke Er, Lou Shaotang became quite surprised. After that, the corner of his mouth raised in a very faint smile, as if he felt gratified.
Zheng Keer's expression was also very surprised. She stared at me blankly for a few seconds, then looked back at Lou Shaotang.
"How can I blame you?" A bitter smile appeared on her face as she said to me, "I'm the one who caused trouble for you and Shao Tang." Then, he said with a face full of self-blame, "Look, I'm too useless, I even caused trouble when I left." His gaze moved to his plaster left leg, and his eyes sparkled.
"It's good that you're fine." I comforted her. If her leg had been amputated again, I think Lou Shaotang would never forgive me for the rest of his life.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but look at Lou Shaotang again.
Lou Shaotang stared at me, his gaze seemingly filled with thousands of words, his lips moved slightly, as though he wanted to say something to me, but didn't know what to say.
Yes, Shao Tang was really scared, luckily he was fine. Zheng Keer agreed as she nodded her head. She looked at Lou Shaotang with a happy smile, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.
"Eh, what is this?" she asked curiously, suddenly noticing the bag of "sesame trees" in my hand.
"Oh, Shao Tang bought some snacks for you, he forgot to take them, so I brought them over for you." I looked at the paper bag, then at Lou Shaotang.
Lou Shaotang frowned, he looked confused and confused, his gaze moving from the paper bag to my face.
He must not have expected me to bring the dessert so kindly. I laughed at myself as I placed the paper bag on the bedside table, took out the butterfly cake, opened the lid and handed it over to Zheng Keer.
Zheng Keer looked at Lou Shaotang, and revealed a grateful smile, "Thank you, Shao Tang. I didn't think you would still remember this." After saying that, she picked up a piece of butterfly cake and took a bite. It's really delicious, it's still the same flavor as before. " She licked her lips and praised, then said to me: "Tu Ying, you try it too."
Zheng Keer laughed and turned to Lou Shaotang: "Oh, Shao Tang, you eat one piece too. You were fond of it in the past."
Lou Shaotang's gaze moved from my face to hers and he smiled gently, "You can eat, I'm not hungry."
Zheng Keer smiled, but she suddenly thought of something happy, and laughed: "Oh right, Shao Tang, do you still remember, in the past you personally made me a butterfly cake, but the taste was very strange, and in the end it all fell."
Lou Shaotang was startled, and laughed awkwardly: "Oh, I remember."
"Daddy, Mommy still has the mold you made for her before." Heng Heng interrupted and revealed a rare smile.
When Lou Shaotang heard it, he immediately looked at me with an embarrassed expression.
I bent my head a little and listened to them talk. My heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and I squeezed my hands to fight the pain.
"Father, after mother discharges the hospital, you can try making another butterfly cake. Let me have a taste of how special it is." Heng Heng's playful suggestion came into my ears.
"I think it's better not to. It's too horrible." Lou Shaotang smiled in embarrassment and tactfully refused.
Heng Heng did not mind: "It's alright, it was all made by daddy. No matter how bad it is, I will still eat it all."
"Heng Heng, your father is very busy. If you want to eat, your mother will make it for you." Zheng Keer considerately helped Lou Shaotang out.
"Alright then." Heng Heng said somewhat helplessly, before asking Lou Shaotang again, "Father, have you ever tasted Mother's dessert? "It's delicious."
Lou Shaotang was silent for a few seconds, then acknowledged softly.
"Do you like it?" Heng Heng asked.
After a few more seconds of silence, Lou Shaotang acknowledged again. The sound was even softer than the previous one, so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Great! From now on, I'll let mom cook for you." Heng Heng was extremely excited.
Lou Shaotang did not respond.
I sat on the chair and listened to their casual conversation. I listened to Heng Heng's "Daddy" and "Mommy" affectionately. I felt as if my ear was being stung by ten thousand bees.
Tu Ying, it's time to leave. You're an outsider, they're a family.
"Tu Ying, you don't look too good. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Words of concern to Zheng Keer slipped into my ears, interrupting my decision in the dark.
Suppressing the pain that was suffocating me, I forced out a smile and raised my head. "I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night." "Oh right, I still have some matters to attend to."
Just as I stood up and was about to say my goodbyes, the ward door was suddenly opened by someone.
I turned to look.
Shen Yiru angrily rushed to me and without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped me.
"Bitch, how dare you lie to me!"
My head was in a daze, and my eardrums hurt from her sharp curses. My face was burning like it was on fire.
"Mom, what are you doing!" Lou Shaotang's angry roar immediately sounded, and then my entire person was pulled into his embrace.
"Shao Tang, you are still protecting her. Do you know that she has lied to you, lied to all of us?!" Shen Yiru was infuriated, she looked like she wanted to tear me to pieces.
"What did I lie to you about?" By this time I had recovered enough to know what she was angry with me for, and I glared back at her.
"You still have the face to ask? Look for yourself!" She hit me hard in the face with the newspaper in her hand.
My face hurt again, but just as I wanted to bend down and pick it up, Lou Shaotang had already picked it up before me.
He unfolded it, and I looked at the newspaper, and when I saw the bold black headline on the front page, I froze.
"Auntie, what happened?" Seeing that Lou Shaotang and I were both motionless with faces full of shock, Zheng Keer asked Shen Yiru in confusion.
Shen Yiru did not answer her, but continued to spew fire at me, "Last time I asked you if the hospital report had come out, and you said it didn't, then how do you explain this?" She flicks her fingers at the newspaper.
I stared at the newspaper, from the eye-catching title "Surprise!" The first wife of the Wealthy Class was actually a hen that could not lay eggs! " When he looked at the hospital report photo again, his mind was in a state of confusion and doubt.
How could this be?
How did the media get hold of the missing report and expose it?
"Talking, are you mute? Isn't that mouth of yours usually very amazing!? " "My silence angered Shen Yiru even more. So it turns out that I can't lay eggs myself. I was afraid that they would endanger your position and would try to snatch Shao Tang's family property from you! "
"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Zheng Keer asked me in shock and ignorance: "Tu Ying, can't you give birth to a child?" Without waiting for my reply, she tried to persuade Shen Yiru again, "Auntie, don't be agitated, maybe you made a mistake."
"How could I be mistaken!" Shen Yiru's voice was even louder than before, "The hospital's report is clearly written in black and white, she just can't lay the eggs. It's a freak, a freak! "
Her sharp insults and insults stabbed me in the heart. I knew that such a day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly and in such a shocking way that I was caught off guard.
Suppressing the pain in my heart, I raised my eyes and looked at her face, which was distorted by the burning anger. The corner of my mouth curled up into a faint smile of mockery.
Shen Yiru stared blankly. She had obviously not expected me to be so thick-skinned.
"Bitch, you still have the face to smile!"
She was so angry that she raised her hand to hit me again, but before it could land, she was intercepted in the air by another hand.
"Shao Tang!" Shen Yiru looked at Lou Shaotang, who was beside me, in shock.
The shocked expression on Lou Shaotang's face had already disappeared, his expression was calm without a ripple, but there was a hidden anger in the depths of his eyes.
He put down Shen Yiru's hand, turned her face towards me, and rolled her Adam's apple lightly. "Why are you hiding this from me?"
What was he grieving for? Are you sad that I was like Shen Yiru had said, purposely deceiving him for my own benefits, or are you distressed that I had a physical defect that I couldn't give birth to?
But either way, maybe this is the best time for me to make a decision with him.
I secretly took a deep breath and smirked. "Didn't your mom say it? For the sake of money and status?" I said in a nonchalant tone. I decisively chose the reason he hated me the most, because only then would he be willing to part with me.
He met my eyes. "Tell me the truth."
My heart skipped a beat. He didn't believe I was that kind of person.
I was relieved, but I made up my mind. So I looked him straight in the eye and said seriously, "That's the truth."
The corner of Lou Shaotang's eyes twitched, "Tu Ying!" His voice became stern, genuinely angry.
"Shao Tang, she has already admitted it, what more do you have to ask! This bitch, divorce her! " Shen Yiru shouted angrily.
Lou Shaotang turned a deaf ear and stared intently at me. Other than anger, there was also pain in his eyes.
I was afraid that after staring at him for a long time, the mental defense that I had painstakingly built would collapse. I hurriedly looked at Shen Yiru, and the corner of my mouth curled into an extremely sarcastic smile. "Shen Yiru, after knowing you for so many years, this is the first time I have reached an agreement with you."
Shen Yiru did not understand what I meant. She frowned and looked at me suspiciously.
But as intelligent as Lou Shaotang, he immediately understood.
"What did you say?" He sounded incredulous, his voice tight and hoarse.
