Lu Jueyu gave her husband a sidelong glance and replied, "Being too good-looking attracts vixens. Didn't you know soone was practically boring a hole in your face with her eyes?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone glanced at each other before turning their eyes to the young woman. The pregnant woman beside her, clearly embarrassed, slapped her sister's hand.
He glared at her and scolded her in a low voice, "Stop staring, or I will gouge out your eyes! You already have a man at ho, and you are still ogling soone else's husband. Have you forgotten your last lesson so quickly?"
"If your husband divorces you, don't co crying to !" she added threateningly.
Although her voice was low, the quiet corridor carried her words, allowing everyone to hear it clearly. Instantly, their gazes toward the young woman beca unfriendly. No woman liked a vixen who seduced married n!
Under everyone's stares, the young woman felt humiliated and angry. After a mont, she burst into tears. While crying, she still glanced at Li Chenmo. Though she wasn't as beautiful as his wife, she was still attractive in her own way.
Born with pale skin and a thin waist, she could evoke n's protective instincts when she cried. Having never worked in the fields, her smooth skin was her pride. She thought he might spare her a glance. Unexpectedly, when she looked at him, she saw him busy coaxing his 'unreasonable' wife.
The tense atmosphere was interrupted when the doctor's office door opened, and a nurse stepped out with a pregnant woman. After giving her a few reminders, the nurse glanced at her folder and called out, "Comrade Lu Jueyu, please co in."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young woman stood up and complained, "Comrade, we have been waiting for so long, and they just arrived. Why are they going in first?"
Others nodded in agreent, and an old woman chid in, "Comrade, they should wait their turn. My daughter-in-law has been waiting for ages, and she looks so pale. Why don't you let us in first?"
Hearing their complaints, the nurse frowned and said firmly, "This is a hospital, not your ho. Please lower your voice and stop disturbing others."
"I let this comrade in because you are waiting for the test results. Even if you go in, the doctor can't help you without getting the test results. If you have any complaints, feel free to report them, but don't cause trouble here," she added unhappily.
The won were stunned by her words. eting the nurse's stern gaze, the old woman fell silent, while the young woman grew visibly angry. Before she could retort, the pregnant woman beside her grabbed her hand and hissed, "If you keep causing trouble, don't bla for being ruthless."
Hearing this, the young woman's face turned pale and she finally closed her mouth.
Once everyone quieted down, the nurse gestured to Lu Jueyu and said, "Comrade, please co in."
"Thank you, Comrade," Lu Jueyu replied politely.
After they entered the room, the nurse closed the door and handed a docunt to the doctor. Sitting behind her desk, the elderly doctor nodded at them and said, "Please, have a seat."
She reviewed the docunt briefly before saying, "Comrade Lu, please stretch out your hand."
Lu Jueyu complied, placing her hand on a small cushion. The doctor checked her pulse for a mont, then turned to the nurse and instructed, "Perform a blood test."
"Yes, Doctor," the nurse replied.
The nurse then drew a small tube of blood from Lu Jueyu for testing. Once finished, the nurse took the blood for a test while the doctor asked, "Comrade, are you experiencing any discomfort?"
Before Lu Jueyu could answer, Li Chenmo replied, "Doctor, my wife has been sleeping more lately and often feels dizzy and nauseous, especially in the morning."
The doctor nodded and jotted down notes in her folder. Turning to Lu Jueyu, she asked, "Anything else?"
"Doctor, I have also been feeling irritable lately. I'm usually very patient, but now everything annoys . Sotis I feel so sad that I cry and can't sleep," Lu Jueyu said.
Hearing this, the doctor smiled gently and reassured her, "From your pulse, there is a high chance you are pregnant. All these symptoms are normal during pregnancy. Don't worry too much—just try to keep a relaxed and positive mood."
A short while later, the nurse returned and helped the doctor complete the paperwork. Handing the docunt to the couple, the nurse said, "Comrade, the blood test results will be ready in one to two hours. You can wait outside or co back later."
"We will co back later," said Lu Jueyu.
The nurse nodded and escorted them to the door. As they left, she handed them another docunt and said, "Comrade, you can settle the bill now and return with this docunt when the results are ready."
Taking the docunt, Li Chenmo said, "Thank you, Comrade."
Just as he finished speaking, another nurse approached while carrying a stack of docunts. Handing the docunt, she said, "Comrade, here are the test results you requested."
The nurse accepted the folder with a nod and replied, "Thank you,"
Then, she returned to the office. Shortly after, she erged to call the next patient.
With two hours to spare, Li Chenmo turned to his wife and asked, "Wife, would you like to visit the departnt store?"
Shaking her head, Lu Jueyu replied, "Husband, I'm hungry, let's have lunch first."
Hearing this, Li Chenmo smiled and said, "Alright."
As they walked away, the young woman stared after them. But no matter how long she looked, she was only a passerby in their story and no one paid attention to her.
At the hospital lobby, Li Chenmo went to settle the bill while Lu Jueyu waited nearby. As she pondered over what to have for lunch, a familiar voice called out from behind her, "Sister-in-law."
Turning around, she saw Song Yan smiling warmly at her.
