Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Xiaohui is in trouble.
As the weeks passed, Tong Yao was constantly bustling about due to the expansion of her business. As for Si Chen, his career was progressing rather steadily; he had perford several successful tumor surgeries in the past month or so.
Si Chen beca a sensation in the hospital; everyone cast their curious glances at him.
They all said Si Chen was being grood by Professor Qu because of his exceptional talent in tumor treatnt. The rumors circulating speculated that he would certainly beco a renowned expert in oncology.
Most people who initially underestimated him started to truly admire Si Chen, although there were still so who were green with envy. They either kept silent when seeing Si Chen, or spoke in a sarcastic tone. Si Chen rely laughed it off.
Si Chen took a rare break to visit the milk tea shop with Tong Yao. As soon as they arrived, they received a frantic phone call from Yuan Caizhen. "Yaoyao, co quick to the Third Hospital. Xiaohui is in trouble," she said urgently.
"What happened?" Tong Yao felt a chill run down her spine.
"It’s hard to explain over the phone. Just get here first! We’re in ward 203 of the Inpatient Departnt." Yuan Caizhen hurriedly hung up the call as Xiaohui still needed her care.
Despite Si Xiaohui’s misbehavior, she was after all Si Chen’s sister. If sothing was really wrong, Si Chen was bound to be concerned. They imdiately hailed a taxi for the Third Hospital. As they arrived at the hospital entrance, Tong Yao suddenly rembered sothing.
Lin Man worked here as well.
She wondered, it had been so long, did Lin Man knew about her last dical examination? Would Lin Man still be harboring feelings for Si Chen?
Tong Yao felt a tang of jealousy at the thought of Si Chen possibly bumping into Lin Man, whom he had saved once, although she knew Si Chen would never betray her.
Noticing the change in Tong Yao’s expression and her slowing pace, Si Chen looked over and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Presumably, due to his worry for Si Xiaohui, Si Chen appeared serious and slightly furrowed his brow. Tong Yao knew that it was not the ti to show her immature jealousy. She shook her head and said, "Nothing, let’s hurry to see Xiaohui!"
They headed upstairs and before reaching the ward, they could already hear the sound of Si Xiaohui’s crying mixed with unrestrained complaints.
"It’s all your fault," she scread. "You insisted that I learn to make breakfast, and now you see what happened? You made
lose my baby! I hate you! You’re not the loving uncle you used to be. Now that you’re married and have your own family, you find
botherso. You said you wanted
to learn a craft and start a business, but really, you just wanted
to move out."
Si Xiaohui initially thought making breakfast was an easy task, but she quickly learned it was tedious and tireso from Song Yu, which was completely different from running a milk tea shop.
Song Yu added fuel to the fire, which led to Xiaohui refusing to continue learning. Much to her dismay, Si Weimin insisted she learn.
That morning, she experienced severe stomach pain and bled profusely. At first, she thought she was just nstruating, but as the pain intensified, she realized sothing was wrong. A hospital check-up then delivered a crushing blow - she had suffered a miscarriage.
The cherished fruit of her love with Song Yu was gone. Si Xiaohui heaped all the bla on Si Weimin, convinced that it was due to her recent fatigue that led to her miscarriage.
Song Yu guiltily kept his head low, not daring to make a sound.
Si Weimin was also very remorseful. Yuan Caizhen, on the other hand, looked displeased as if there was sothing she wanted to say, but she was hesitant to broach it.
Outside the room, Tong Yao and Si Chen had basically understood the situation. She glanced at Si Chen, knocked on the door, and within monts, Yuan Caizhen opened the ward door.
"Xiaohui has miscarried and is in emotional distress. It’s good that you’re here. Please comfort her! Too much emotional upheaval and crying can lead to health complications during the confinent period," she whispered softly.
"Xiaohui is quite sturdy, so why did she miscarry?" Tong Yao found it strange. Xiaohui was as healthy as a cow, able to carry a 50 kg rice bag without any issue. How could she suddenly miscarry after carrying a child for such a short ti?
Even learning to make breakfast couldn’t be that strenuous, could it?
Yuan Caizhen glanced at Si Chen, seemingly struggling with her words.
Upon seeing her hesitation, Si Chen said, "Let
go in and see." and walked into the ward.
Yuan Caizhen pulled Tong Yao into the hallway and awkwardly said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with learning to make breakfast. The doctor told
that during their... intimate monts, they were too rough. Xiaohui miscarried because they were not careful during the first three months of pregnancy when the placenta is still unstable."
Although Yuan Caizhen was only about ten years older than Tong Yao, she still found it difficult to share such intimate details. However, she couldn’t bear to let her husband take all the bla.
Si Chen already had disagreents with Si Weimin and was reluctant to recognize him as his brother. If he were to shoulder the bla for Xiaohui’s predicant, wouldn’t he grow to despise Si Weimin?
They had provided Si Xiaohui with food, shelter, and even a job - how did they end up as the villains?
Upon understanding the actual cause of the miscarriage, Tong Yao had a twitch of her lips and said, "While outsiders may not know the truth, they must have known, right? It seems clear Xiaohui blas this on her uncle on purpose. She’s up to no good!"
Yuan Caizhen wasn’t foolish, she naturally knew that Si Xiaohui was doing this intentionally and she could guess Si Xiaohui’s motives behind it. But her husband simply didn’t listen to her advice, leaving her feeling helpless.
"She never wanted to learn to make breakfast. It was Weimin who insisted they learn. I suspect she blas Weimin so that she can manipulate him into helping her open a milk tea shop. They initially wanted to open a milk tea shop, but Weimin didn’t agree as he felt that it would infringe upon your rights."
As the crying inside the room ceased, Yuan Caizhen sighed, "Let’s go in before she thinks we’re talking about her behind her back."
After her last conversation with Tong Yao, Yuan Caizhen’s attitude towards Si Xiaohui changed, no longer indulging her. This resulted in Si Xiaohui frequently complaining about her to Si Weimin.
Thankfully, although Si Weimin coddled Xiaohui, he didn’t quarrel with Yuan Caizhen over her.
If there were anyone in the world who could rein in Si Xiaohui, it would be only Tong Yao and Si Chen. Si Xiaohui was afraid of Tong Yao because she was capable. She feared Si Chen due to the pressure and authority he projected.
Indeed, even Si Xiaohui found it odd. Si Chen had never laid a hand on her since they were children, but whenever he put on a cold face, she was like a startled mouse in front of a cat.
The sa was true at this mont. She was crying passionately, but the mont she saw Si Chen enter the room, she fell silent instantaneously, as if soone had hit the pause button.
Having acquired a marriage certificate but not having held a wedding ceremony or received family approval, she felt guilty when Si Chen discovered that she had miscarried. She choked on her sobs and stamred, "Brother."
