Chapter 3 Unreasonable Parents

The hospital's incandescent light was a little harsh, and there wasn't much transparent liquid left in the drip bottle. There was no one in the infusion room. Wei Yiyi, who had just woken up from her sleep, struggled to get up, trying to pull the call bell beside the bed.

She started to have a headache. She clearly remembered that Lin Tianyuan had sent her to the hospital. Why was he missing again?

Just then, a nurse pushed open the door and walked in. She was dressed in a doctor's overall, and the stethoscope on her neck reflected a cold metallic luster.

"You're awake. Your boyfriend bought you ginger tea. He told me to ask you drink it before leaving." As she said with a smile, she picked up a thermos from the cabinet, and there was a trace of envy on her kind and round face.

She had never seen such a man who was handsome as well as considerate to his girlfriend before.

Wei Yiyi was stunned for a moment. She finally realizied who the nurse was referring to as her "Boyfriend."

"Well, he's not my boyfriend," responded her with a smile. Seeing that the nurse pouring hot ginger tea out of the cup, she suddenly felt less cold.

The nurse thought that Wei Yiyi was just brushing her off. While changing medicine for her, she could not help but grumble. Just as she was about to complain, Wei Yi's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the display on the screen, Wei Yiyi's smile was stiff, and her thin fingers trembled as she answered the call.

Wei Yiyi, you haven't been able to get through the phone all afternoon. Where are you now? Xinyu told me about you and Xiangzhe. Your mother and I will come to see you later. "Before Wei Yiyi could say anything, Wei Chengze kept scolding her on the phone.

"Dad, you and... Mom, don't need to come over. I'm fine." Wei Yiyi bit her lower lip, trying her best not to cry out loud.

Wei Chengze, however, was not able to know how Wei Yiyi felt at this moment. He had been used to pushing this good-tempered daughter around, so how could he change his mind so easily?

"It's a very big deal. Do you still want to hide? Wei Yiyi, I'm not discussing with you right now. Tell me where you are. Your mother and I will be there soon."

Wei Chengze's strong tone came from the receiver. Wei Yiyi moved her pale lips, looking at the number on the door of the ward, "Department of Internal Medicine, Infusion Room, the third building in City hospital..."

The call was cut off abruptly. Wei Chengze didn't even say a single word of greeting before he directly hung up the phone.

"Are you going to drink this ginger tea?" The nurse, who hadn't left yet, could not help but remind her when she saw that Wei Yiyi was staring blankly at the floor after receiving the call.

"Thanks, I'm good." Wei Yiyi shook her head tiredly. "Just take it out for me. Thank you."

The nurse scratched her head in confusion, but she still followed Wei Yiyi's instructions and took out the thermos flask. Not long after she left, Wei Chengze and Yan Congxue pushed the door angrily into the ward.

It was the end of autumn. Yan Congxue, who was over middle age, was still wearing a luxurious yellow sweater made of camel's hair, which made her skin white and delicate. There were no extra wrinkles on her face. From the curly hair that was scattered behind her to the purse in her hand, it was obvious that she was a noble wife.

"Yiyi." She glanced at Wei Yiyi, who was on the hospital bed with the messy strands of hair. She called out unwillingly. Her voice was distant and there was no trace of love in her eyes.

Indeed, Wei Yiyi, as an illegitimate daughter, Yan Congxue and Wei Chengze had always been secretive about her identity. More than 20 years ago, Wei Chengze had been forced by his family to marry Yan Congxue and break up with his first girlfriend, Wei Yiyi's biological mother. After they got married, Wei Chengze had an affair with Wei Yiyi's mother during Yan Congxue's pregnancy, and they had Wei Yiyi in this way. Yan Congxue had also been quite critical of it. After Wei Yiyi's mother died, she imposed all her hatred on little Wei Yiyi. Especially when Wei Yiyi was still young, she had suffered quite a few beatings from her.

Wei Yiyi's thin body trembled slightly, but her eyes were extremely firm. She stared straight at Yan Congxue and called, "Mom."

On hearing that she called her in this way, the vicious expression flashed across her face, and she immediately put on a fake smile.

"Yiyi, we came out to look for you in such a heavy rain today. We'd like to talk to you about you, Xiangzhe, and Xinyu."

Wei Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes turned complicated. She asked carefully with an awkward smile, "W-what's going on between us?"

In fact, Wei Yiyi could vaguely guess the purpose of their visit from the moment they entered the house, her father was silent. She was Wei Chengze's illegitimate daughter, the prove for her father's infidelity. Although she was raised by Wei family, she had always been a thorn in Yan Congxue's eyes. Yan Congxue must have harbored evil intentions as she spoke to her so nicely.

Yan Congxue sat elegantly on the sofa, speaking in a cold and arrogant voice, "Wei Yiyi, your father and I want you to divorce Lin Xiangzhe."

"What?" Wei Yiyi was startled, and the smile on her face dissipated instantly, replaced by blankness in her eyes. "Mom, what did you say?"

Yan Congxue frowned again and her dissatisfaction gradually grew. Looking at incredulous Wei Yiyi in front of her, she sneered coldly.

That mocking feeling penetrated her bones and her indifferent gaze was landed on Wei Yiyi. She said slowly and clearly, "I said, your father and I asked you to divorce Lin Xiangzhe."

"Why? I... I've been married to Lin Xiangzhe for a year..." Wei Yiyi was confused. Even though she had thought about divorcing Lin Xiangzhe before, Wei Xinyu was clearly the one who made a mistake. If she tried to cover Wei Xinyu's faults, she couldn't be indiscriminate as an elder to ask her to divorce.

"So what," Yan Congxue said disapprovingly. "You haven't been able to bear a child for your husband's family for the past year. But things are different now. You should know that your sister is pregnant with Xiangzhe's child."

Her selfish words were as sharp as a knife, cutting into Wei Yiyi's internal organs mercilessly.

Wei Yiyi widened her eyes in disbelief, and her fingers clenched into fists. A sharp pain ran through her heart. The fact was that she wanted to have kids, but Lin Xiangzhe had never give her such a chance in the past year.

"Dad, mom, I'm not divorcing Lin Xiangzhe. It was sister and Lin Xiangzhe's fault, but why should I take the consequences?" Leaning against the pillow, Wei Yi suddenly asked them stubbornly.

At this moment, she was furious. As children of Wei family, why was Wei Xinyu allowed to do whatever she wanted since she was young, and she could only bear her grievance? She couldn't figure it out.

With that thought in mind, Wei Yiyi clenched her fists tightly. Suddenly, she made up a mind: since her parents were so partial to Wei Xinyu, she would not get divorced.

Wei Yiyi, can't you understand what I'm saying? Your sister is pregnant with Lin Xiangzhe's baby! Flewing into a rage, Yan Congxue slammed her hands on the bedside table, accompanied by a sharp sound.
