Chapter 1651: What’s There to Congratulate?
At this moment, the door to the delivery room opened. The midwife carried the newborn out and was about to take a bath.
Zhao Huimin immediately surrounded her. “How is it? It’s a boy, right? A boy?”
The midwife was stunned by Zhao Huimin’s question. Then, she frowned unhappily. It seemed like this grandmother prioritized boys over girls. “Congratulations, it’s a cute little princess.”
When she heard this, Zhao Huimin’s face instantly fell. ” What’s there to congratulate about a princess? What’s there to congratulate?”
No one had expected Zhao Huimin to flare up in public. Perhaps it was because her loud voice disturbed the child in the midwife’s arms; the child immediately burst into tears.
The midwife’s face immediately turned cold. “Grandmother, this is the hospital. Please lower your voice.”
After saying that, she ignored Zhao Huimin and carried the child away.
Zhao Huimin collapsed onto the chair as if she had lost her soul. Bean-sized tears fell from her eyes, “Aiyo, my life, why is it so hard? What do you think I’ve been taking good care of Guan Meiyi for these past few months? Wasn’t it all for the sake of getting a grandson? How did it become a girl? Didn’t I waste my life? All of it!”
Ms. Liu disagreed with Zhao Huimin’s words. “Mrs. Gu, stop talking. What if Mr. Gu and Meiyi hear what you said? Regardless of whether it’s a boy or a girl, they are your biological grandchildren, aren’t they?”
Zhao Huimin waved her hands. “It’s not the same, how can it be the same… boys and girls are different! Back then, when I asked Guan Meiyi to test it was a boy or a girl, she just didn’t go and test. Now, she has given birth to a girl!”
Ms. Liu was shocked and unhappy. “Don’t say such things. If Meiyi listened to you and finds out that it’s a girl, were you going to force Meiyi to abort the child?”Usually, it would take five months for the child to be tested to find out if it was a boy or a girl. If the child were aborted then, it would be equivalent to killing a living creature, and it would have a great impact on a woman’s body.
Hearing Ms. Liu’s question, Zhao Huimin was stunned, but in the end, she did not say anything. She just stood up, turned around, and walked out.
“Mrs. Gu, where are you going? Meiyi’s room is over there!” Ms. Liu shouted from behind.
Zhao Huimin turned a deaf ear to Ms. Liu’s shouts and left the hospital full of grievance and unhappiness.
Ms. Liu entered the ward with a complicated expression. Guan Meiyi was too tired and was asleep. Gu Zhiqian stood by the side, looking at her on the bed and their daughter in the crib with gentle eyes.
Seeing Ms. Liu come in by herself, Gu Zhiqian’s face darkened. “Where’s my mom?”
“Mrs. Gu… she left…” Ms. Liu didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, Guan Meiyi was still asleep; if she found out about this, she would probably feel bad.
However, the truth couldn’t be kept secret forever. After Guan Meiyi woke up and didn’t see Zhao Huimin, she understood everything.
However, she didn’t feel too bad about it. She knew that her mother-in-law had always wanted a grandson and have always hoped that it would be a grandson. Now that she knew it was a girl, she would feel a little disappointed.
Guan Meiyi was very open-minded about such things. Her daughter was hers and Gu Zhiqian’s. Being loved by her elders was naturally nice. However, as long as her parents loved her, it wouldn’t be a loss for her even if her grandparents didn’t.
After Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan received the news, they went to the hospital.
As soon as they entered, Ling Tianya went straight to the crib, looking at the little guy inside with a face full of joy.
