Chapter 243: Huo Mingzhu, She Actually Gave Birth to a Child
held her slender waist and told her about a piece of gossip from today, making Wen Man's face blush and her heart beat faster, her legs also feeling a little weak.She was incredibly sweet and adorable...Next to the coffee shop, there is a bubble tea store.
A long queue snaked out the door, with Huo Mingzhu right in the middle. By her side walked a two-year-old boy.
After standing for a while, the little guy seemed unhappy.
Ho Mingzhu picked up the child...
Wen Man watched quietly.
Her eyes slowly welled up with moisture, her heart aching with a bittersweet pang.
Mingzhu had always been pampered since she was a child. Wen Man suspected that she probably didn't know how to queue for bubble tea before, but now she was holding a two-year-old child in her arms, braving the scorching sun to line up.
She was no longer wearing her fine clothes.
A simple white shirt, bleached and faded jeans.
She has lost a lot of weight compared to before, and you can barely see any traces of her pampered past on her face...
Wen Man gently closed her eyes.
Bai Wei followed her gaze and saw it too. She was dumbfounded and blurted out, "Isn't that Huo Mingzhu How...how does she have a child"
Given Bai Wei's personality, she would immediately bring the person back home.
Wen Man held her hand. “Don’t!”
She understands Huo Mingzhu's thoughts because she has experienced them herself.
This child isn't here for no reason. She doesn't want to go home because she's protecting the child, afraid of hurting her parents and disappointing them, afraid they'll pressure her into having an abortion...
Wen Man lowered her voice: "Bai Wei, don't make a fuss!"
Just then, Little Huo Xi started crying for his mother, and the driver brought her over.
The little one hopped over and saw Wen Man was crying.
She leaned against her mother's arms, wiping her mother's tears with her small hands, and soothingly said, "Mommy, don't cry!"
Bai Wei looked on with envy: "My daughter is so thoughtful!"
Wen Man whispered, "You sit here for a while longer, I'll go check on Mingzhu! And don't tell Jingchen about this yet, I'm afraid it will scare Mingzhu and she might run away again."
Bai Wei also knew this was a serious matter, nodding: "You talk to her well!"
Wen Man took Xiaohuxi out.
Just then, Huo Mingzhu bought some milk tea and was about to leave with her child when Wen Man lightly called out behind her: "Mingzhu!"
Huo Mingzhu's body stiffened slightly.
She slowly turned her head and saw Wen Man, and the little Huo Xi by her side.
Hu Mingzhu's lips trembled.
Two years had passed, and she saw Wen Man again, and little Huo Xi... But seeing them, she couldn't help but think of that person.
After a long pause, she softly called out: "Sister-in-law!"
Her voice always sounded aggrieved, always sorrowful. She desperately wanted to bury herself in Wen Man's embrace, acting spoiled and venting her emotions, but she couldn't. She was no longer the former Huo Mingzhu.
Wen Man's mood was damp.
She slowly walked forward, reaching out to touch the child's head, then said to Xiao Hoxi: "This is your aunt!"
Xiao Huo Xi was delighted.
She softly called out, “Auntie!”
Huo Mingzhu's throat felt like it was blocked. She stared at Xiao Hoxi... At this moment, it was as if she had returned to three years ago, back to that crazy night...
"He's all grown up!" She kissed Xiao Hoxi, and then said to Wen Man, "This is my child, Shuo Shuo!"
Wen Man gave Huo Xi to her and hugged Shuo Shuo herself.
That fair, smooth face and short, dark brown hair.
She didn't even need to ask who this child belonged to...
The atmosphere is tense!
Xiao Huo sighed and looked up at his mother with a soft voice, "Mommy, you can hug him, I'm not jealous...I really am not."
Wen Man smiled gently and said, "Follow your aunt!"
Ho Mingzhu felt a little awkward.
Wen Man, however, was unwilling to let her go, and whispered, "Go sit over there with me."
……
After walking for about 15 minutes, I walked into a small alley.
The rented house is only 40 square meters.
The house was a bit messy, with magazines scattered around and piles of clothes for both adults and children... I looked for ages but couldn't find anything that looked remotely organized!
Wen Man's heart ached so much she wanted to cry!
Huo Mingzhu poured her a glass of water. The milk tea was split evenly between the two little ones. She really couldn't afford to buy more, after queuing for half a day she only bought one cup for Suosuo.
Wen Man held Shuo Shuo, whispering: “Your brother said you haven't been home for two years! Is it because of the child”
Ho Mingzhu hummed in response.
She whispered, "I... broke up with him, and only then did I find out I was pregnant! He doesn't know, and he can't marry me!"
Wen Man did not defend anyone.
She only felt sorry for Mingzhu, and for the child.
This child is two years old, and he doesn't even have a household registration!
Wen Man calmed her emotions and said, "Come home with me!"
Hu Mingzhu hung her head, and after a long while, she whispered in a low voice: "Big sister-in-law, I can't go back! What will happen if I go back My parents and my brother won't let Shuo Shuo be raised for nothing. They will always fight for me..."
Wen Man looked at her: "Shouldn't it be"
Huo Mingzhu was stunned.
Wen Man gently stroked Xiao Shuoshuo's hair and said softly, "You can't live here forever!"
Huo Mingzhu still refused.
She hugged Xiao Hoxi and kissed him: "Hoxi has grown so much, Auntie is seeing you for the first time... Auntie doesn't have any gifts for you."
She unclasped the necklace.
That was the only thing she had brought out of the Huo family.
She wants to give it to Xiao Hoxi.
Wen Man turned her face away, and finally couldn't help but cry.
Xiaoshushuo, being young, was also scared by the adults' appearance and started to cry. Xiaohxi patted his head gently and said softly, "Zhang Chongguang said that boys don't cry when they bleed!"
Xiaoshu looked at her with big, innocent eyes.
< Xiao Huo Xi kissed her: as white as her, with brown hair. >
Wen Man ultimately failed to persuade him.
She promised Huo Mingzhu not to tell Huo Shaoting, Huo Mingzhu felt relieved. As she was leaving, Wen Man gave Huo Mingzhu over ten thousand yuan from her bag, saying she would come back tomorrow.
Huomingzhu accepted it.
At that moment, both she and Wen Man were a little dazed. No one could have imagined that one day, the pampered and wealthy Huo Mingzhu would be relieved by more than ten thousand yuan!
Wen Man couldn't bear it anymore.
She felt terribly oppressed. When she walked out of the old building, she leaned against a tree and cried bitterly.
Xiao Huo leaned against her, holding onto her calf.
Wen Man squatted down, hugged her, and continued to cry.
Wen Man gradually calmed down.
She certainly couldn't let Mingzhu and the child live in such a place. She also wouldn't be comfortable telling Huo Zhendong, as how disappointed and heartbroken would parents be if they knew
She thinks it's better for Huo Shaoting to handle this.
Wen Man stroked Xiao Huo Xi gently and whispered, "When Daddy gets home tonight, you tell him Mommy cried. And that you saw Auntie... Understand"
For half a day, she asked, "Why didn't Mommy just tell Daddy directly"e."A hint of sadness touched An Ran's nose.She hummed in response, then slowly walked out. But after she left, she couldn't help but turn back... gazing at the place that had been so sweet for a few...
