Chapter 500: Must Be Trampled Under Your Feet

After the expert consultation, no miracle occurred.

The tumor in Jian Yixin's abdomen is malignant; fortunately, it was discovered early and has not spread, but the uterus must be removed.

The tumor specialists and the obstetrics and gynecology experts all reached a unanimous opinion: operate immediately, and the adult's life can still be saved!

If left to develop, the child has a fifty percent chance of survival, but the adult has zero chance of being saved.

This is different from the initial prognosis; the actual situation is even more pessimistic than everyone thought.

Although the result is not what everyone wanted to see, everyone has accepted this fact over the past two days.

Everyone is urging Jian Yixin to have the surgery to save her life, but she simply refuses!

Even if there is only a fifty percent chance, she still wants to give birth to this child.

Sheng Zerong pleaded bitterly, saying to his wife: "If you are not here, I have no way to raise the child well on my own. Even if the child can be born successfully, he will have no mother or father from the moment he is born. Do you think he will be happy?"

Jian Yixin: "The Baobao will still have you then. You must raise him well into adulthood, otherwise, I won't let you off even as a ghost."

Sheng Zerong took her hand and placed it against his cheek: "Don't let me off. Yixin, don't be naive. If you die, how could I possibly live on alone? If that day really comes, I will definitely follow you. If we are to be ghosts, we will be a pair of mandarin duck ghosts. I couldn't possibly let you go to that place all alone..."

Jian Yixin:...

She demanded that her husband not speak such foolish words and that he must raise the child well as he grows up.

Even finding a stepmother for the Baobao is fine, with only one prerequisite: this stepmother must be good to the Baobao she gave her life to bring into the world!

Sheng Zerong shook his head like a rattle; he, who had never disobeyed his wife's wishes, disobeyed this time.

His attitude was extremely firm; no matter what Jian Yixin said, he was set on one path—I am with you, wherever you go, I go.

Whoever gives birth to the child should take care of him. If you insist on giving birth, I will take him to find you when the time comes. The family of three will be together, so he won't be an orphan from birth and be even more pitiful!

Sheng Zerong's attitude was very firm, yet it did not make his wife change her mind.

The reason is simple—the two of them are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

She understands her husband's personality better than anyone.

Don't look at how tough he talks; when that time truly comes, he won't be able to do it.

Sheng Zerong was completely defeated.

Her elderly mother, Lady Jian, stepped in.

Lady Jian's attitude did a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn from a short while ago; she began to instill "DINK" (Double Income, No Kids) ideology into her daughter.

She no longer said that having a child was a must, or else such and such would happen, but instead racked her brains to find all sorts of benefits of a DINK Clan to tell her daughter.

Things like not having children helps keep a couple's relationship long-lasting and stable, and women who give birth age quickly.

Originally, she wanted to use Shi Youxuan as a negative example, but Shi Youxuan doesn't look old at all.

Her complexion has become even better after getting pregnant, and her bare face, without any cosmetics, is radiant; she is full of vitality every day. Lady Jian gets angry just thinking about her!

But no matter how angry she is, she can't just spout nonsense.

Her daughter isn't blind; she can see what Shi Youxuan's complexion is like.

Thus, Lady Jian used other ways to attack Shi Youxuan. She said to her daughter: "Look, don't look at how Shi Youxuan is jumping around now; after giving birth to her second child, she will immediately age twenty years, and her figure will become round and never go back. Sheng Hanyu treasures her now, but it won't be long before he gets tired of her."

"But you and Ze Rong are different. My daughter will always be young and beautiful, and Ze Rong will cherish you in the palm of his hand for a lifetime. My daughter is so good, she deserves the best..."

As she spoke, sorrow welled up from her heart, and tears fell in streams.

Why is her daughter's life so bitter?

If she had married smoothly, wouldn't her grandson be almost as tall as her by now?

It didn't work out back then, and she almost died.

Later, she endured so much bitterness and suffered so much before having the happy life she has now, only to be told while pregnant that she could never be a mother again.

Is there anyone in the world more miserable than her daughter?

If there is, she desperately hopes it is Shi Youxuan.

That woman is too lucky.

Lady Jian has actually always held a grudge against Shi Youxuan; she always feels that Shi Youxuan's current happy life was all stolen from her daughter.

She cannot see how much bitterness others have endured, what they have encountered, or what they have sacrificed; she just feels that her own daughter has been wronged!

Jian Yixin knew her mother was trying to comfort her, but using Shi Youxuan as an example was too inappropriate. She stopped her mother from continuing and told her not to have such thoughts, as it was very bad.

She agreed on the surface, saying whatever her daughter said was right, but what she actually thought, only she herself knew.

Shi Youxuan and her mother-in-law stood at the doorway, speechless.

The two of them came to deliver food to Jian Yixin because Jian Yixin likes the lotus root and pork rib soup made by Wang Yinghao, so they made it and brought it over specially!

Shi Youxuan came along wanting to persuade her to change her mind, but she didn't expect to have an "unexpected surprise."

Wang Yinghao pulled Shi Youxuan, wanting to leave.

Someone who rarely gets angry was now angry, incredibly angry.

Isn't this treating kindness like a donkey's lungs?

It's too much.

Of course, she wasn't angry at Jian Yixin, but they are mother and daughter, blood relatives.

When a mother acts excessively, it makes it very easy for the anger to be transferred to the daughter.

Shi Youxuan didn't leave; one couldn't even see a look of anger on her face.

She was still smiling, a smile full of hidden meaning: "You go back first, I'll go in myself."

After speaking, she took the thermal container from her mother-in-law, carried the container in one hand, and walked into the Hospital Ward with her other hand supporting her waist, walking in a grand manner.

"Oh, Xuanxuan is here?" Lady Jian changes her face faster than turning a page; a second ago she was still bad-mouthing Shi Youxuan.

The next second, her donkey face immediately turned into a dog face, smiling obsequiously.

Jian Yixin chided: "Why are you coming here while carrying such a big belly? This isn't a good place; there are germs everywhere..."

Lady Jian hurriedly argued, "You child, talking nonsense all day long; where would there be any germs? The nurses disinfect eight times a day, it doesn't matter."

In fact, she wished nothing more than for germs to infect Shi Youxuan.

If her own daughter couldn't be well, then no one else should be well either!

Lady Jian thought she was acting flawlessly, but in reality, her petty schemes could not escape Shi Youxuan's eyes at all.

Not only her, everyone saw it.

Jian Yixin frowned, feeling helpless.

What could she do?

Everything that needed to be said had been said; she had said it a hundred times, but her mother was just like this and had no intention of changing at all.

"Oh, Xuanxuan, your belly is so round, tsk tsk—"

She made two exaggerated "tsk tsk" sounds before continuing, "You won't be able to recover after giving birth. For a woman, the most important things are her face and figure; it's easiest to turn into a sallow-faced drudge after having a baby."

"Xuanxuan, don't blame your aunt for speaking bluntly, but you must pay close attention to any unusual behavior from Hanyu in the future. Men become more charming as they get older, while women are ignored after giving birth..."

"Mom, stop talking." Jian Yixin kept winking at her mother, but she just pretended not to see or hear anything.

Shi Youxuan smiled charmingly, "Auntie, so you have such a past? You really haven't had it easy."

Lady Jian:...

She didn't react in time; she was originally talking about Shi Youxuan, so how did it shift to herself?

Shi Youxuan continued to smile, a sly smile, "If you hadn't experienced it yourself, how could you have such deep insights?"
