Chapter 128: What a Sin!

At that moment, the door was gently knocked, and Li Huijuan entered carrying a tray, on which were steaming hot brown‑sugar egg soup and a few light side dishes.

"RuanRuan, are you awake? How do you feel? Quick, drink the egg soup while it's hot to replenish Qi and blood."

Li Huijuan set the tray on the bedside table, then leaned over the crib, lovingly watching the grandson and granddaughter sleeping side by side, a smile blooming on her face.

"Oh dear, Jinjin and An'an are sleeping so soundly; you can tell they're blessed children."

Jiang Nainai, also leaning on her cane, sauntered in, and her affection for the two great‑grandchildren could not be hidden in her eyes.

"Exactly, just like it!"

"Jinjin's eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Ranran's when he was little! An'an's delicate spirit follows RuanRuan!"

After drinking the egg soup, Su Ruan felt much warmer and her energy had recovered a bit.

Jiang Ran had already placed the satiated, sleeping Jinjin back into the crib and was carefully tucking the blanket corners for the two children.

"How's the shop today..." Su Ruan thought of business and asked softly.

"You don't need to worry about the shop," Jiang Ran interrupted her, his tone unquestionable, "Wang Shifu and the others are there; Douzi and Yaya can handle things now."

"Your only task now is to stay in confinement, keep your body strong, and stay with our Jinjin and An'an; if the sky falls, I've got you!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Jiaojiao, in a good mood, was strolling through the department store, already holding several newly bought bags.

Inside were little clothes and toys prepared for her nephew and niece.

Thinking of those two delicate, finely crafted little ones, a smile couldn't help but rise at the corner of her mouth.

Since the family added this pair of Dragon‑Phoenix Twins, the whole Jiang family's atmosphere has become livelier and warmer.

When she reached the knitwear counter, about to pick two soft new towels for Su Ruan, she heard a few middle‑aged women nearby, who were selecting yarn, lower their voices and chat animatedly.

"Did you hear? Around here, the old Liu family's daughter‑in‑law has a big incident!"

A woman wearing a dark blue cover‑up spoke mysteriously.

Jiang Jiaojiao's ears instantly perked up.

"Old Liu family? Liu Wen Bin's family? Su Yanhua?"

"What's up? A few days ago I think I heard an ambulance; is she about to give birth?"

Another woman with permed curls immediately leaned in and asked.

"Give birth to what!" the dark‑blue‑covered woman pursed her lips, her face showing a mix of sympathy and schadenfreude, "It's an accident!"

"I heard she was heavily pregnant, went to the dormitory near Liu Wen Bin's school to cause a scene, and ended up catching Liu Wen Bin in a compromising situation with a woman; the three of them started fighting!"

"She was pushed by her husband and fell hard!"

"My heavens!" the curly‑haired woman exclaimed, forgetting the yarn in her hands, "Then? What about the baby?"

"The baby is gone!" the dark‑blue‑covered woman slapped her thigh, "I heard it was a formed male fetus that was violently knocked out!"

"And that's not all; apparently her uterus was also seriously injured and was removed by doctors, so she can no longer bear children!"

"Oh dear! What a sin!" a glasses‑wearing woman who had been silent interjected, "Liu Wen Bin looks respectable, how could he do such a thing?"

"Su Yanhua too, knowing she's heavily pregnant, why go causing a scene? Now it's a mess, the chicken's flown and the eggs are broken!"

"Who says it's not?" the dark‑blue‑covered woman whispered, getting more animated, "The worst is still to come!"

"I heard Su Yanhua is still lying in the hospital, the baby is gone, and Liu Wen Bin couldn't wait to bring a divorce agreement to her for a signature!"

"They say the Liu family must not have no heirs! Tsk tsk, this man, his heart is truly cruel!"

"Divorce?" the curly‑haired woman asked further.

"It's not that easy! Would Su Yanhua be willing? I heard she was crying and making a scene in the ward, and threw Liu Wen Bin out!"

"This matter still has more drama! The Su couple aren't easygoing either, can they easily let the Liu family off?"

The women sighed and debated, some lamenting Su Yanhua, some cursing Liu Wen Bin as a scoundrel, and some feeling Su Yanhua herself bore responsibility.

Jiang Jiaojiao, standing aside, was stunned and her heart raced.

She knew Su Yanhua and Liu Wen Bin didn't get along and that Liu Wen Bin might have issues, but never imagined the situation would become so tragic.

The baby is gone, the uterus removed, and Liu Wen Bin is still pressing for divorce at this critical moment?!

This, this is simply horrifying!

She could no longer worry about buying towels; lugging big and small bags, she turned and hurried home.

Such big news must be told to the family immediately!

Especially RuanRuan; although their sisterly relationship is strained, they share blood, and hearing this news might affect her.

Jiang Jiaojiao practically ran home, pushed open the courtyard gate, and, panting, shouted, "Mom! Grandma! RuanRuan! Something big happened!"

Li Huijuan was drying the children's diapers in the yard; seeing Jiang Jiaojiao's frantic state, she scolded, "Jiaojiao, how old are you now, still so flustered? What happened? Did the sky fall?"

Inside, Jiang Nainai, who was with Su Ruan and the children, heard the voice and poked her head out, "Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Take your time and tell us."

Jiang Jiaojiao set down what she was holding, patted her chest to steady herself, lowered her voice, yet couldn't hide her shock, "Mom, Grandma, guess what I just heard in the department store? Su Yanhua is in trouble!"

As soon as she said that, Li Huijuan and Jiang Nainai were both stunned.

Even Su Ruan, who was nursing the child inside, paused slightly and lifted her head.

"What happened?"

Li Huijuan set down the diaper in her hand, walked over, her brows slightly furrowed.

Although she didn't have much goodwill toward Su Yanhua, hearing the words "trouble" instinctively made her show some concern.

Jiang Jiaojiao, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, recounted in vivid detail everything she had heard in the department store.

"... My heavens! You didn't hear what those people said; it was just tragic!"

"The baby is gone, it was a formed male fetus, her own body is ruined, and that bastard Liu Wen Bin immediately pushed for divorce, saying the Liu family can't have no heirs!"

"This, this is simply something no human would do!" Jiang Jiaojiao said with righteous indignation, her chest heaving.

Li Huijuan and Jiang Nainai, after listening, were shocked for a while, unable to speak.

"Amitābha..." Jiang Nainai was the first to react, twirling her Buddhist Beads, shaking her head repeatedly, her face full of pity and sighs, "What a sin... truly a sin! That child is so innocent..."

This Liu Wen Bin, looking so refined, how can his heart be so cruel!

That Su Yanhua girl, too… sigh, one misstep after another, every step wrong…

Although she also dislikes Su Yanhua's character, hearing such a tragic ending she can't help feeling sympathy.

A woman, falling into such a predicament, is truly pitiful.

Li Huijuan also sighed, her mood complicated: "This child… though she acted unscrupulously before, this price… is far too great."

She subconsciously glanced at Su Ruan, who was nursing in the room, and felt even more overwhelming emotion.

Both sisters, yet their fates differ so vastly.

Jiang Jiaojiao finished speaking, then remembered Su Ruan in the room, hurriedly leaned in and asked cautiously: "RuanRuan, are you… are you okay?"
