Chapter 52 - 52: 52: Where there are people, there is war
Under the big tree downstairs, a group of women gathered. When Qin Xue
came down, sne didn’t greet anyone and directly lett.
As the women chatted, they saw a bold and beautiful pregnant woman walk by, all of them staring at her in a daze.
Only when Qin Xue walked away did one of the women react and say, “Who is this woman? I don’t seem to have seen her before. Is she a new family member in someone’s home?”
“Hmm, I think that’s Qin Xue from Mr. Chu’s family.”
“I didn’t notice her earlier. I haven’t seen her in a long time, and she’s really changed, hasn’t she?” Another military wife had only seen her in profile.
“What?! That’s Qin Xue? Look at her clothes, they’re so revealing! How long has it been since we last saw her, and she’s completely different now.
She is beautiful, but she’s too restless. We hardly ever see her around the residential building.”
“Who knows what she’s been doing? Could she have been cheating on Mr. Chu?” Zhang Cuihua looked genuinely jealous.
Slandering Qin Xue seemed to come at no cost.
“I don’t think so. Qin Xue is probably not that kind of person. She hasn’t been around the residential building lately because she’s been busy with some matters.
Mr. Chu is such a good man; there’s no way Qin Xue would cheat on him.
Wasn’t it said that she had set her sights on Mr. Chu before purposely marrying him?” Another woman spoke more fairly.
“What do you know? A shameless woman like her could never stay put, right?
I wonder if the child in her belly is even Mr. Chu’s?” Zhang Cuihua couldn’t stand hearing others speak well of Qin Xue.
“Zhang Cuihua, don’t go spreading wild rumors. If you say such things without any proof, that’s slander, and you could go to jail for it.”
Su Xiaoyan couldn’t help but rebuke her when she heard Zhang Cuihua’s words getting more and more outrageous.
Upon hearing she might go to jail, Zhang Cuihua became afraid and stuttered,
“How am I talking nonsense? Mr. Chu left on a mission, and she became pregnant. Not to mention, she’s always running out and not staying in the residential building. Does her attire look like a proper woman’s to you?
Her clothes and bags must cost a lot of money, right? If she hasn’t found someone else, where did she get the money to dress up like that?”bender
The others didn’t join in anymore. Although Zhang Cuihua was foul-mouthed, she wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
Su Xiaoyan snorted at them and said, “In any case, these are all your guesses. You haven’t seen anything with your own eyes and just gather here to gossip wildly.
I’m telling you, this is slander and can damage other people’s relationships.
If word gets out that you’ve been talking nonsense here, it could affect your husbands as well.” When Su Xiaoyan finished speaking, everyone kept quiet and found excuses to leave.
Even Zhang Cuihua, who had heard that it could affect her husband, snorted and left.
Watching Qin Xue, who had long disappeared from sight, Su Xiaoyan sighed. She was a real troublemaker, and nothing good ever came from seeing her.
Qin Xue had changed a lot, and her outfit today was bold for this time period.
Her four-month belly looked like it had a balloon blown up inside it; it was much bigger and rounder than normal.
Qin Xue had checked her pulse before and had a suspicion. That’s why she wanted to go for a prenatal checkup and a B-ultrasound today.
Qin Xue didn’t know that she had just passed by and caused a fight. She didn’t know what had happened in the residential building, as she had already arrived at the hospital by then.
She took a form, filled it out, and queued at the registration desk. After waiting for about ten minutes, she heard her name called.
“Is it Qin Xue? What do you want to see?” Li Rong looked at Qin Xue while holding the registration form.
“Doctor, hello. I’d like to get a B-ultrasound. You see, my belly is much larger than normal, so I want to examine and see if the baby is healthy.”
In fact, Qin Xue knew her child was well-nourished by the spiritual spring water and shouldn’t have any issues. What she desired was confirmation of her suspicion.
Li Rong glanced at Qin Xue’s belly, which was indeed much larger than normal. It could even be twins.
However, an examination was needed to confirm everything: “Well, come with me, and I’ll have a look at you.” She then led Qin Xue to a separate room to perform the B-ultrasound..
