Doctor Li in the doctor’s office didn’t expect that just after venting to his senior brother on the phone, someone overheard it.
Yao Hui never expected that Lyu Juncheng had a sterilization surgery. No wonder Lyu Juncheng had that expression when he found out she was pregnant.
For a moment, her mind was a mess, and her body was so weak that she almost fell again. If it weren’t for her own mother coming over to bring her food, noticing something was wrong and quickly catching her, the child would’ve been lost for sure.
After exerting a lot of effort to help her back to the ward, Mrs. Yao looked at her daughter who seemed lost: "Xiao Hui, what’s wrong with you?"
It took Yao Hui a long time to react. Now, apart from her own mother, she didn’t dare trust anyone. Only then did she quietly recount what she had overheard.
Upon hearing it, Mrs. Yao almost cursed out loud in the ward.
But considering that neither Lyu Juncheng’s sterilization nor the fact that her daughter was carrying someone else’s child should be revealed, she held back.
However, the doctor had also said earlier that if Yao Hui lost this child, it would be hard for her to conceive again in the future.
So now there was only one path to follow, which was to confront Lyu Juncheng.
But in this confrontation, they couldn’t immediately let Yao Hui admit to her wrongdoing. They had to insist that the child in her womb was his. Who could guarantee that the sterilization was completely fail-proof?
Unexpectedly, Lyu Juncheng wouldn’t fall for Mrs. Yao’s act at all. He directly confronted them and even shifted the blame onto Yao Hui and the Yao Family.
The two sides argued for a long time, and the final result was that Yao Hui’s child must be kept. To the outside, they would say that Lyu Juncheng didn’t want it because he was worried the child wouldn’t be healthy after this incident. They absolutely couldn’t let outsiders know the child wasn’t his.
Lyu Juncheng had no choice but to agree. If he made a big fuss now, not only would Yao Hui and the Yao Family lose face, but he himself would as well.
In his current situation, if they really got divorced, it would be hard for him to find someone else. After all, given how things were, they might as well make do with each other. Since everything was out in the open, he didn’t need to show Yao Hui any kindness anymore.
Besides, he had dirt on her, and he presumed she wouldn’t dare rebel.
As for the man who got Yao Hui pregnant, he certainly wouldn’t let him go. He wouldn’t let him off without extorting a large sum.
But as it turned out, his plans were in vain. Unfortunately, Yao Hui herself didn’t even know who the man was, because after arguing with him that day, she had drunk alcohol.
She wandered out, intending to go to the Yao Family to complain, not expecting the alcohol to hit her shortly after she left. It was dark then, and she never saw the man’s face clearly.
The Lyu Family had an altercation, which ended with both sides keeping peace.
Rumors outside suggested Lyu Juncheng didn’t want Yao Hui’s child because he didn’t want to support another.
There were also rumors saying Lyu Juncheng didn’t want the child because he was worried it wouldn’t be healthy, fearing it would be a burden.
Regardless of how outsiders speculated, Yao Hui’s child survived, but Lyu Juncheng and Yao Hui couldn’t see eye to eye.

After Xinyan returned home, she called Granny Zhang in town, telling her she’d go back to pick her up during the National Day holiday. The house was ready here, and she asked Granny Zhang to start packing.
Granny Zhang initially didn’t want to come out, but Xinyan said they would discuss the future slowly. The National Day holiday would be a chance for her to adapt a little.
After hanging up, Xinyan remembered her promise to Zhao Jianlan to settle arrangements before calling. However, she settled with them to call back in half an hour. When the phone reconnected, after a brief exchange, Zhao Jianlan gloated, "Xinyan, let me tell you..."
