Chapter 114: Runrun! Call an ambulance, quickly!

Page 1/3

Shi Runrun was puzzled. How could the fertility medication prescribed by her doctor turn into contraceptives in his mouth?

With wide, shocked eyes, Shi Runrun walked over, snatched the pill bottle from his hand, and examined it closely.

No mistake—this was exactly the medicine she had lost!

She had taken it for a long time before, so there was no way she could be wrong!

This was clearly fertility medicine, not contraceptives as he claimed!

“Xiao Xuezhen! This is fertility medicine! How can you say it’s contraceptives?!”

“Are you still lying?!”

Xiao Xuezhen grabbed her wrist and turned the phone screen toward her, pointing at it. “Look for yourself! The pills in your bottle are exactly the same as these contraceptives I found online, with the same tiny numbers engraved! Shi Runrun! How long do you intend to keep lying to me?!”

He was furious, his voice growing heavier, and his grip on her wrist tightening.

“Grandpa and Grandma have been longing for a great-grandchild; you know that! Yet you’ve been secretly taking contraceptives behind my back! You simply don’t want to have children with me!”

His accusations came like a storm, crashing down on her, leaving Shi Runrun feeling deeply wronged.

She didn’t understand what he was talking about!

Contraceptives?

She had never intentionally taken contraceptives!

This was the fertility medicine prescribed by her doctor!

She couldn’t understand why he would slander her like this and get so angry!

What Shi Runrun didn’t know was that all this was orchestrated behind the scenes by Chi Wanwan.

Back at the hospital, while Shi Runrun was in the restroom, Chi Wanwan had switched the pill bottles, which led to today’s misunderstanding.

Now, she was left speechless.

Just as she was about to explain, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from outside!

Grandpa’s face, twisted in fury, appeared before them instantly!

Grandpa Xiao sat in his wheelchair, his aged face dark with anger. He slammed his cane on the floor and pointed angrily at Shi Runrun.

“Good! Just great! So you never wanted to give birth to a great-grandchild of the Xiao family! This is the granddaughter-in-law I’ve been hoping for!”

Grandpa Xiao’s furious words sent a shiver through everyone present.

Inside the room, both Xiao Xuezhen and Shi Runrun looked toward the door, their eyes wide in shock, frozen in place.

Xiao Xuezhen reacted first, stuffing the pill bottle into his pocket and striding over to Grandpa, lowering his voice.

“Grandpa, please don’t get upset. Maybe I was wrong. Perhaps this really is fertility medicine. I’m not a doctor; I don’t understand these things.”

He tried to defend Shi Runrun, but Grandpa Xiao refused to believe a word.

His whole body trembled with anger, the illness etched on his face deepening with a dark bluish hue.

He raised his cane and struck Xiao Xuezhen, his beloved grandson, harshly, then roared, “You lie for her! I heard everything outside the door! She’s been secretly taking contraceptives and doesn’t want to have your children! How could a woman like that be worthy to enter the Xiao family? Worthy to be my granddaughter-in-law? Xuezhen! Divorce her immediately!”

Hearing this, Shi Runrun’s small frame shook violently. Her eyes reddened, her heart clenched painfully as if torn apart.

Grandpa had completely despised her…

But she felt so wronged, so deeply aggrieved. She had never taken contraceptives.

This was the fertility medicine prescribed by the doctor; she was only following medical advice. She didn’t know where she had done wrong.

Fighting back tears, Shi Runrun turned to Grandpa Xiao, who stared at her with eyes full of disappointment and disdain, and quietly said, “Grandpa, I didn’t…”

“Don’t call me Grandpa! The Xiao family doesn’t need a granddaughter-in-law like you! There are plenty of women who want to bear Xuezhen’s children. If you don’t want to, then divorce him soon and leave the Xiao family!”

Shi Runrun was speechless.

Her heart felt as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, the pain overwhelming her tears.

Grandpa’s breathing grew heavy, his trembling body in the wheelchair shaking violently.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuezhen quickly signaled Shi Runrun to stop speaking. Grandpa’s health was the priority now; she had to endure this injustice.

“Grandpa, please don’t get worked up… We haven’t figured this out yet, so please don’t say such things…”

Shi Runrun stood there, numb, sobbing and trembling.

Even though she knew Grandpa was unwell and shouldn’t be angered, she still felt deeply wronged.

Not only was she falsely accused, but Grandpa’s words cut her to the core.

If she didn’t bear children, could she not be Xiao Xuezhen’s wife? Could she not be with him?

Or did Grandpa only see her as a tool to continue the Xiao family line?

Had Grandpa’s previous affection and indulgence—giving her houses and farewells—been only because of the child in her womb?

Or had she never truly been accepted by Grandpa at all? She was only lucky to marry Xiao Xuezhen and enter the Xiao family because of the child.

Now that the child was gone, Grandpa looked down on her.

If another woman got pregnant with Xiao Xuezhen’s child, would she be easily replaced?

The more Shi Runrun thought about it, the more bitter her heart became.

Was a child from a poor family destined to be so lowly?

Xiao Xuezhen frowned as he looked at Shi Runrun, who was quietly crying in pain. He said to Grandpa, “Grandpa, you can’t accuse Runrun before we’ve investigated this! I’ll call a doctor from the hospital right now…”

Before he could finish, Grandpa Xiao interrupted angrily.

“What’s there to investigate?! You two are normal adults! Since the last miscarriage, her belly hasn’t shown any sign of life. If she hadn’t been taking contraceptives all along, how could she still not be pregnant after so long?!”

His words left the room in stunned silence.

At that moment, Shi Runrun wanted to tell Grandpa that she was already pregnant again.

She was carrying Xiao Xuezhen’s child—the precious great-grandchild he longed for—right now in her womb.

But after being so wrongly accused and scolded, she suddenly found herself unable to speak.

Grandpa only allowed her to stay by Xiao Xuezhen’s side because of the child; without it, would she be cast out immediately?

She didn’t want to be treated as merely a vessel for bearing children… she didn’t.

“The Xiao family’s fate is truly unfortunate, marrying such a cruel-hearted woman like you! I…”

Grandpa Xiao’s fury peaked as he muttered to himself, then suddenly gasped for breath, his face turning ashen.

Xiao Xuezhen immediately snapped back to reality, crouched down, and patted Grandpa’s back anxiously.

“Grandpa, please don’t get upset!”

But Grandpa clutched his chest tightly, his face growing increasingly pale and dark.

“Runrun! Call an ambulance quickly!”
