Chapter 2574: Dispute

Satisfied that she finally kept silent, Dai Ronghong took a sip of coffee and continued with her well-intentioned advice to the younger generation: "Your mother told me you haven’t been home lately. She says you resent the child in her womb. This mindset of yours is incorrect. Your parents are having another child with your well-being in mind, worried that no one will care for you if something happens in the future. You should be considerate to your parents."

"I’ve been going back and forth between school and the hospital and haven’t had time to go home lately."

"Your parents said you argued with them over your brother or sister."

At the mention of this, Li Yaxi suddenly remembered and hurried to explain, "Aunt Dai, you’re a doctor. My mom should listen to what you have to say. The doctor said she has high blood pressure and talked to me, concerned that something might happen to her. Aunt, please help convince my mom to go for a check-up and listen to the doctor. If she can’t have the child, then she just can’t."

"Look at what you’re saying?" Dai Ronghong snorted with a cold laugh, "You still claim you aren’t against the child in your mother’s womb."

"How could I not want a brother or sister? But my mom’s life is more important," Li Yaxi emphasized. "Aunt Dai, you’re a doctor. You should put my mom’s life first as well."

"Of course, as a doctor, I will prioritize your mother’s safety. Her bit of high blood pressure isn’t an issue," Dai Ronghong replied unhappily.

"Aunt Dai, if it’s not a problem, why did the obstetrician ask to talk to me specifically?"

"Is it that young obstetrician? Your Aunt Dai has far more medical experience than her. You really believe her over me?" Dai Ronghong’s eyes filled with anger, "If you don’t want the child in your mother’s womb, just say so. Stop finding excuses to cover up your twisted thoughts. Keep down this wrong path and this time, I won’t protect you either."

Li Yaxi’s face showed utter shock: How could she be so misunderstood by the person she admired since childhood?

Tears welled up in Li Yaxi’s eyes, but she fought hard to hold them back.

"Check, please." Dai Ronghong called the waiter and threw down the money, continuing with some "kind words" to the younger person in front of her, "Yaxi, you’re a child I watched grow up. Your aunt is worried about your illness. Listen to your aunt, take it easy, and go home to rest. Your parents have long said it’s okay if you don’t work. They have enough money for you to live a worry-free life."

"I, I can—" She was a patient, but she had recovered and could return to study and work. Dr. Xie encouraged her to do things she loved and not to let illness trap her in life.

"Are you talking about Xie Wanying?" Dai Ronghong showed a trace of ridicule in her eyes.

When talking about her junior colleagues, Xie Wanying was definitely an odd one out. After her friend was stabbed and almost lost his life, she could still remain friends with the person who did it.

No matter how others praised her, Dai Ronghong really couldn’t warm up to this junior colleague. She felt this junior was more arrogant than her own son, despite not having the same background support.

Li Yaxi and Student Wei, who was eavesdropping on the side, could see the disdain in her eyes.

Wei Shangquan was furious: How could she look down on Student Xie?

Worst of all, this implied meaning, Xie Wanying probably sensed it.

Pan Shihua and Lin Hao were startled to see Student Xie appear: "Yingying, when did you get here?"
