The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting

He Xiaoran has an extremely ugly look on her face.

Chu Ningyi understood that his mother had never worn a good expression on her face ever since Shui Anluo had returned.

“What happened?” He Xiaoran spoke in a deep voice. She had heard the news from a maid early in the morning and the maid had heard it from Maid Yu. All she knew was that Shui Anluo has been injured again so she had come to visit early in the morning.

Chu Ningyi shrugged. His mother rolled her eyes at him before she cut across him and walked inside.

Chu Ningyi stared at his father: “What’s up with your wife?”

Chu Mobai: “The thing is, your wife’s accident frequency is much too high so my wife isn’t happy.”

This was a perfect reason!

After He Xiaoran walked in, she stared at the sleeping Shui Anluo. The bandage on her head was still tinged with blood. She frowned as she asked, “How did she get such a heavy injury?”

“She fell down a flight of stairs and knocked her head on the last step,” Chu Ningyi explained as he covered Shui Anluo with a blanket again.

“You, is there anything good for me to say about you?” He Xiaoran was going to blame Shui Anluo for getting into trouble again but when she saw her wounded state, she did not know what else to say.

Chu Ningyi lowered his head.

“Alright, the kid didn’t want this either.” Chu Mobai spoke up for his son. “I read on the news that Soaring Distance Technologies will commence with trading again today. I had a look at the Chu Group’s accounts, you didn’t touch it?”

“I’ve already promised my mother so I won’t touch the Chu Group’s money to prevent her from bullying my wife in the future. Her family certainly never touched the Chu family’s money.” Chu Ningyi smiled at his mother.

He Xiaoran was so angered by her son that she nearly spat out blood.

This son who had made her proud was her own flesh and blood. However, he had angered her so much for the sake of another woman. He Xiaoran was filled with grief.

“Mom, Mom, Mom, I was only joking. Why are you crying?” In this lifetime, Chu Ningyi feared nothing in heaven or earth except for when his mother or his wife cried. These two women were the type of women who would not stop crying once they stared.

Chu Mobai cleared his throat and shot his son a glare.

Shui Anluo moved a little but only sighed. Actually, she understood He Xiaoran. If the little darling had treated her this way because of another woman one day, she would definitely cry herself to death in front of Chu Ningyi. How could her mother-in-law not behave this way?

“Luoluo.” Chu Ningyi saw her move and quickly sat by the bed to help her up.

Shui Anluo had slept the entire night and her body was now sore. She sat up with great difficulty and could not refrain from gasping out loud.

“Mobai, Ningyi, both of you, get out.”

“Mom…”

Shui Anluo had been dazed for a while but returned to her senses. He Xiaoran’s words had nearly broken her neck.

“What, are you still afraid that I might bully your wife?” The sour feeling in He Xiaoran’s heart increased. Her own son was so guarded against her and it was all for another woman.

Shui Anluo rubbed her neck gently and held Chu Ningyis arm. “Go outside with Uncle. Auntie won’t do anything to me.”

She believed that He Xiaoran wanted to do an annual report with her again to see if she could pass as a daughter-in-law. Today was the day that her results would be announced.

Even though Chu Ningyi felt worried, Chu Mobai still dragged him out and said as he walked, “Not even I would dare to anger your mother at a time like this.”

“You talk as if you’ve actually dared to anger her before.” Chu Ningyi sneered. Look at his wife, one look and she would immediately become obedient. A powerful woman like his mother could not be dealt with in just one look.

The door of the ward was shut, leaving only Shui Anluo and He Xiaoran.
