Chapter 124: You Shameless Bitch!

Gu Yanshen also moved close to the bedside of the two little ones, his gaze falling on the two kids, his eyes softened considerably.

He lifted his hand and gently brushed over Jinjin's furrowed little eyebrows, the motion delicate.

"This child's brows and eyes are truly well‑proportioned; when grown, he'll surely be a spirited young lad. Nian An's little face, finely chiseled like a powder sculpture, looks at once like a considerate little girl."

Jiang Jiaojiao finally could no longer hold back, and carefully extended her fingertip, lightly touching Nian An's soft little face.

That delicate sensation made her hold her breath instantly, and her eyes reddened further: "How amazing… such a tiny child, and yet RuanRuan fought half her life to bring him into the world."

Speaking, she turned her head toward Su Ruan on the sickbed, her voice growing even softer: "RuanRuan is so resilient; from now on I'll cherish these two little darlings, and cherish her as well."

Jiang Ran listened to his sister's words, feeling warm inside, and the earlier irritation about her had vanished.

He sat on the chair beside the bed, holding Su Ruan's slightly cool hand, his thumb gently rubbing the back of her hand, his gaze fixed unblinking on her sleeping face, fearing to miss any moment of her waking.

Li Huijuan handed Nian An to Jiang Nainai to hold, then turned to tidy up the items Gu Yanshen had brought.

She opened the insulated jar, and a rich bird's nest aroma hit her nose; she laughed and said, "Yan Shen is thoughtful, this bird's nest is stewed to the perfect degree—once RuanRuan wakes, she can drink it."

"These baby supplies are all top‑grade; you, child, are always so considerate."

Gu Yanshen modestly smiled, "Of course, RuanRuan is Jiang Ran's wife; Jiaojiao and I are classmates. If a Xi'an kid can do something for her and the children, I feel at ease."

He turned his head toward Jiang Ran, teasing, "Now you're a father; the burden on your shoulders is heavier, and you can't be as reckless as before."

Jiang Ran didn't lift his head, but his tone carried unprecedented seriousness: "I understand; I'll stay by RuanRuan and the children, and live properly."

He paused, recalling the earlier danger, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Anyone who dares to plot against them, I will certainly not let go."

Jiang Jiaojiao interjected, "That's more like it; from now on you must be a reliable husband and father."

"By the way, have the names for these two little ones been decided?"

Jiang Jianguo took over the conversation: "Ranran and RuanRuan had already discussed it long ago; Huai Jin is taken from 'Huai Jin Wo Yu', hoping he will have a noble character, not like his mismatched father! Nian An is meant to wish her a life of peace and smoothness, with peace year after year."

"Such a good meaning."

Jiang Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, then couldn't help moving to the cradle, watching Jinjin let out a tiny yawn, while Nian An pursed her little lips and let out a soft exclamation.

"Look, you all, Jinjin seems to be greeting me! Nian An's little expression, I just like her more and more."

On the Jiang Family side, they were immersed in the joy and bustle of a new addition, while on the other side, Su Yanhua's days were like being soaked in bitter coptis water, sour with suffering.

The news that Su Ruan gave birth to Dragon-Phoenix Twins quickly spread among the neighbors.

When people talked about it, they all spoke with envy and blessings.

"Did you hear? The daughter‑in‑law of Factory Director Jiang's family, the one who runs a clothing shop, gave birth! My god, it's Dragon-Phoenix Twins!"

"Is it true? That's a huge blessing! Suddenly they have both a son and a daughter!"

"Exactly! The Jiang family is really lively this time; Jiang Ran, that kid, used to seem out of sync, but who would've thought he'd be so blessed…"

These remarks inevitably drifted into Su Yanhua's ears.

She was hunched with her heavy belly, standing in line at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy rationed brown sugar, and hearing the idle chatter of a few women nearby, the sugar ticket in her hand almost crushed.

Dragon-Phoenix Twins!

Su Ruan, how could she?!

How could she have such a lucky fate, marrying Jiang Ran, who is now becoming more successful, a man who cherishes her in his palm, and now in one breath has given birth to a son and daughter, making her position in the Jiang family as steady as Mount Tai.

And herself?

Married to a seemingly respectable yet cold and hypocritical Liu Wen Bin, she stays low in this household, watching others' moods, even while pregnant received little care, and now even more…

Thinking of Liu Wen Bin, Su Yanhua felt a huge stone block her chest, making it hard to breathe.

Liu Wen Bin had hardly returned home for almost a week; when he did, it was in the dead of night.

He carried that cheap perfume that made her gag, and would fall asleep as soon as he hit the pillow.

When she asked too much, he would impatiently yell at her, calling her "crazy" and "paranoid".

Mother‑in‑law Liu Mother further favored her son, subtly accusing her of being immature and unable to win a man's heart.

Jealousy, resentment, grievance, and a deep fear of the future gnawed at her heart.

She looked at her massive belly, which she had once thought of as a talisman, now feeling so heavy and ridiculous.

That night, Liu Wen Bin didn't return again.

Su Yanhua, with her belly protruding, sat alone at the cold dining table, watching the already cold dishes, a unprecedented despair and madness surging in her heart.

She could no longer continue like this; she had to find out the truth, had to seize the evidence!

Driven by this thought, she rummaged through boxes and cabinets, finally finding the key in a compartment of an old notebook.

The address was vague, only stating "Faculty Staff Turnover Housing, Building 3 Unit 2."

But that's enough!

Su Yanhua couldn't even notice how late it was; she hefted her cumbersome belly, stepping unevenly out the door, heading toward Liu Wen Bin's school.

The night breeze brushed her scorching face, yet it couldn't disperse the fire of hatred in her heart.

She inquired all the way, and after much effort finally located that slightly aged faculty staff turnover housing complex.

"Building 3 Unit 2…" she climbed the stairs floor by floor, her heart pounding from anger and the strenuous exertion.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, she stared at the two tightly shut doors and hesitated.

Guided by an almost instinctive hatred, she chose the left door, which seemed quieter.

She trembled, took out the key, and inserted it into the lock—

With a click, the door actually opened!

A scent mingling food and that familiar perfume wafted toward her.

Su Yanhua's heart leapt to her throat, and she shoved the door open abruptly!

The scene before her made the blood in her veins freeze.

The cramped room was dimly lit, with clothes haphazardly strewn everywhere.

And on that single bed, Liu Wen Bin and a young woman in a revealing nightgown were frantically sitting up!

That woman was exactly Li Qian, the one she had seen at the alley entrance!

Both were disheveled and flushed, and what they were doing was obvious!

"Liu Wen Bin!!"

Su Yanhua let out an extremely mournful scream, and all reason shattered completely at that moment!

She rushed toward the bedside recklessly, reaching out to claw at the woman who, terrified, had hidden behind Liu Wen Bin.

"You shameless slut! How dare you tempt my man! I'm going to fight you!"
