Wife, I’ve Been Reborn (GL) - Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Xu Liangchen saw Mu Nan return and stood beside her. “Are you okay?”
Mu Nan nodded. The information overload was too much for her to fully process, but she wondered, did Xu Liangchen know about this?
She was always direct, especially with Xu Liangchen.
“How did you know about his sister and my brother?”
Xu Liangchen knew Mu Nan would ask this. In fact, she knew that in the future, Mu Nan would have more questions, and she had no way to explain.
Because other than telling her the truth, she didn’t know how to properly explain it.
Tell her the truth.
She admitted she couldn’t do that.
Xu Liangchen thought for a moment and said, “I asked Song Bei to look into it for me.”
Seeing that she finally spoke, Mu Nan became even more dejected. “Then why didn’t you tell me?”
Because these things are too ugly. It’s best if you don’t know.
Of course, Xu Liangchen couldn’t say those words.
She patted Mu Nan’s shoulder. Fortunately, Chen Jiao was pushed out at that moment.
The attending doctor expressionlessly gave a professional explanation. “We’ll observe her for two hours. If there are no complications, she can leave.”
“I’ll write down the precautions. Just be careful.”
“Okay.”
Mu Nan nodded repeatedly. It was clear that the doctor was not very fond of them.
And rightly so. When they come here so secretively without any parents, anyone would know what’s going on.
Chen Jiao didn’t seem too surprised that Zhao Shi wasn’t there. She looked at Mu Nan, and tears streamed down her face. “I’m sorry, Nannan.”
Mu Nan pushed her into the hospital room. “Why are you crying?!”
Even though she said that, her own eyes were filled with tears.
Chen Jiao grabbed her arm tightly. “No, it’s my fault, Nannan. You don’t know…”
Know what?
Mu Nan thought that Chen Jiao was probably talking about switching the bl00d samples. She admitted that she still held a grudge.
Chen Jiao bit her lip. “Actually, I could hear you arguing outside. Thank you, Nannan. Thank you for not giving up on me.”
Mu Nan shook her head. “Chen Jiao, you were the one who gave up on me, not the other way around.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiao shook her head violently, her emotions high, and she sat up halfway. “No! I didn’t do anything to betray you!”
Xu Liangchen couldn’t hold back anymore. She stepped forward and said in a cold voice, “Then what about you trying to switch the bl00d samples?”
“Was that not a betrayal?”
The strength was suddenly drained from Chen Jiao’s body. She lay back on the hospital bed, her voice faint. “So you saw it all.”
Mu Nan nodded.
She did see it all.
“Then why didn’t you stop me?”
Chen Jiao tilted her head to look at Mu Nan, who had a complicated expression.
“Stop you?”
“Jiaojiao, I did try to stop you from doing things. You know that as long as you thought it was good for you, I would make a small sacrifice.”
“When you said you were going out with Zhao Shi at the KTV, I agreed.”
“Later, when you said you were going to be with Zhao Shi, even though you knew what kind of person he was, I also agreed.”
“I have always treated you as my closest friend, telling you everything.”
“I never expected it to end like this.”
“Jiaojiao, tell me, who should we blame?”
Chen Jiao’s eyes were red, her face was completely devoid of color, her hands and feet were cold, and an IV drip was attached to her arm.
“Nannan, believe it or not, I didn’t do it in the end.”
“I regretted it.”
After saying those two sentences, Chen Jiao fell silent. Mu Nan was stunned and looked at her directly. “What did you say?”
Chen Jiao tilted her head to the side, looking at the birds flying outside. Her voice was unstable. “I said I regretted it. I didn’t switch them!”
Mu Nan’s mind exploded. She took a step back, thinking about her attitude toward Chen Jiao yesterday. Chen Jiao must have felt disheartened.
Xu Liangchen also didn’t know what to say.
The three of them sat in the hospital room for two hours before they left. Chen Jiao was weak. As soon as Mu Nan sent her home, a person came rushing toward them.
The person’s face was grim. They looked at Chen Jiao and raised their hand to hit her, but Mu Nan stood in front of Chen Jiao and took the slap head-on!
Xu Liangchen, who was following behind, wanted to stop it, but it was too late!
Chen Jiao cried out in fear, “Mom…”
Chen Jiao’s mother was furious. She pushed Mu Nan aside. “So you know how to come home, do you? What have you done! Was everything I fed you all these years for nothing? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for doing something like this?!”
“You have no shame, but your father and I do! Tell me, who is that boy?! Tell me! Aah!!!”
Chen Jiao’s mother kept pulling Chen Jiao’s hair and shaking her. Chen Jiao had just had surgery and was very weak. The commotion caused her to slump to the ground. Mu Nan knelt behind her, letting Chen Jiao’s mother punch and kick her.
Xu Liangchen tried to break up the fight, but she didn’t dare to use too much force, afraid of hurting Chen Jiao’s mother. It was a complete mess!
Chen Jiao’s mother stopped after a while. Fortunately, it was winter, and they were wearing many layers of clothes, but Mu Nan still felt that her body was bruised all over.
Her mother’s blows were really heavy.
She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if those blows had landed on Chen Jiao, who had just had surgery. She wouldn’t have been able to handle it.
Chen Jiao’s mother looked at Mu Nan and Xu Liangchen. “This is a family matter. You two should leave.”
After all, she also resented Mu Nan.
She couldn’t believe that Mu Nan didn’t stop Chen Jiao from doing such a stupid thing!
When the homeroom teacher called her this morning, she was completely stunned. She couldn’t believe that the usually well-behaved Chen Jiao would do something like this.
It was absolutely shameful!
The homeroom teacher told her to find Chen Jiao as soon as possible and go to the school. She frantically searched for Chen Jiao everywhere but couldn’t find her. Just as she was about to go to the school, she received another call from the school, saying that the matter had been settled, but they hoped Chen Jiao would transfer schools. In that case, the school would not pursue the matter further.
Chen Jiao’s mother was truly furious. Her daughter’s fate had already been decided by others, and she was powerless.
All because Chen Jiao had done something so disgraceful.
Mu Nan was unwilling to leave. Chen Jiao patted her arm. “Nannan, you two should go back first. I’m fine.”
Xu Liangchen took Mu Nan’s arm, ready to leave, but seeing Chen Jiao’s pitiful state, her heart softened. She said to Chen Jiao’s mother, “Auntie, although Chen Jiao made a mistake, she already knows it was wrong. And she just had surgery, so… please be a little gentle with her.”
With that, she pulled Mu Nan’s hand and walked out of the Chen family’s house.
She thought that Chen Jiao was her daughter after all. No matter how much she yelled or hit her, it was only a temporary disappointment. If she knew that she had just had surgery, she would be more considerate.
As expected, after she left, Chen Jiao’s mother clenched her fists and finally slammed them on the table. “How did I raise such a good-for-nothing!”
Chen Jiao cautiously moved closer to her mother and buried her head in her arms, crying loudly!
Xu Liangchen and Mu Nan returned to school. It was just after lunch break, and the whole school was very quiet.
Mu Nan thought that since Zhao Sheng had told her the matter had been settled, no other students would probably find out.
As soon as she returned to the classroom, Xiaoxin asked her, “Hey, did Chen Jiao go out to play with Zhao Shi?”
Mu Nan frowned. This Xiaoxin was a big gossip in the school. She could get information from every little thing.
Had Chen Jiao’s situation been discovered?
But no matter what, it was better to deny it first.
Mu Nan tilted her head and said to Xiaoxin, “Where did you get that rumor? Chen Jiao has had an upset stomach for the past two days. I just went to her house to check on her.”
Xiaoxin said, “Oh,” and added that a student saw Chen Jiao and Zhao Shi leave school together.
Mu Nan finally felt relieved.
“So what if they left school together? You’re always gossiping about nonsense. Have you forgotten about the test at the end of the month?”
Xiaoxin stuck out her tongue and quickly retreated, pretending to read her book.
Xu Liangchen sat down beside her, taking in the current information.
At present, the person the school thought was pregnant was Chen Jiao, so the farce of Mu Nan’s pregnancy wouldn’t happen. The thing she had been worrying about would not come to pass.
She let out a sigh of relief. After so many days, something finally went well.
The next step was to use Song Bei to get rid of Zhao Shi.
Then her mission would be complete.
Xu Liangchen thought that after Zhao Shi was gone, she should probably arrange for Mu Nan to meet Song Bei.
