Rebirth of a Village Girl - Chapter 1253: 307: Pregnant!

Chapter 1253: 307: Pregnant!

Seeing all of this, the Wu Family parents were momentarily stunned and couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, are you alright?” Chen Qian looked nervously at Shangguan Xi.

“It hurts…” Shangguan Xi could only feel her stomach hurting more and more. It was an unfamiliar pain, and large beads of sweat started pouring down her face. Her complexion was as white as a sheet of paper.

Wu Zhihao shouted, “Quick! Chen Jun, call 120 immediately! Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu!”

Aunt Liu scrambled upstairs, flustered. “Alright! I’ll go right away!”

Wu Chenjun carried Shangguan Xi and rushed downstairs.

Chen Qian followed them down hurriedly.

Wu Zhihao stayed upstairs, glaring at Mrs. Wu angrily and said, “Mom! What on earth are you trying to do? Can’t you address any issue calmly? Why did you have to resort to violence? If anything happens to Xiaoxi today, how do you expect me to face the world after this?”

This was truly exasperating!

Wu Zhihao never expected Mrs. Wu to actually lash out at Shangguan Xi.

Mrs. Wu was also furious, her whole body trembling. She felt that Shangguan Xi was doing this deliberately.

Cao Xiaomei had merely given Shangguan Xi a light shove and yet she’d fallen to the ground. Did she have no bones at all? Was she really that fragile?

“We didn’t lay a hand on her! She came out of nowhere and splashed bird’s nest all over Xiaomei’s face without any sense of right or wrong! She bullied someone close to me, and as her grandmother, am I not even allowed to say a word about it?”

Wu Zhihao retorted, “Impossible! Xiaoxi isn’t an unreasonable child! You must have done something to provoke her!”

Wu Zhihao knew Shangguan Xi too well. She was a considerate and kind girl who would never act out without reason. If she did take action, it must have been because she was pushed to her limit!

Mrs. Wu looked at Wu Zhihao incredulously and shouted angrily, “Ungrateful child! You ungrateful thing! I am your mother! Yet you choose to believe an outsider over me!”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you! It’s that I know Xiaoxi too well! Mom, I don’t care— you must apologize to Xiaoxi for this!”

“What?” Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu’s eyes widened with astonishment, larger than copper bells. “You want me to apologize to the younger generation?”

She was already ninety-four years old!

And now her son was pointing fingers at her and scolding her! He even wanted her to apologize to a little girl!

Absurd!

Utterly absurd!

If Wu Zhihao hadn’t come out of her womb, she might even have doubted whether he was truly her biological son!

“Mom, you better pray that Xiaoxi is okay. If not, apologizing won’t even begin to resolve this!” Wu Zhihao continued.

“If anyone should apologize, it’s Shangguan Xi apologizing to me! I didn’t even blame her for disrespecting me as her elder, and that’s already me being merciful! And now you’re asking me to apologize to her!”

“Uncle, Grandma, I’m sorry, this is all my fault,” Cao Xiaomei stepped forward, tears streaming down her face as she spoke pitifully. “Back then, when Sister-in-law splashed bird’s nest on me, I shouldn’t have retaliated. It was just an instinctive reaction, I didn’t expect her to fall so severely. I didn’t mean it. I’m so sorry… it’s all my fault…”

Between the lines of Cao Xiaomei’s words, she was clearly presenting the matter as Shangguan Xi’s fault.

It was Shangguan Xi who started the whole thing.

She had merely acted in self-defense—what could she have possibly done wrong?

Besides, all she had done was a casual push, so was it necessary for Shangguan Xi to fall so dramatically?

Anyone with common sense could see that Shangguan Xi was clearly exaggerating!

“This has nothing to do with you! Silly child, stop taking blame for everything!” Mrs. Wu stepped forward, shielding Cao Xiaomei behind her.

She still hoped Cao Xiaomei could give her a great-grandchild. At a time like this, of course, she would protect Cao Xiaomei.

Compared to having a great-grandchild, what did Shangguan Xi amount to?

Whenever Mrs. Wu thought about this, her chest filled with fury.

If Shangguan Xi hadn’t caused a scene, Cao Xiaomei would already be following through with their plan! Ten months from now, she would already be cradling her great-grandchild!

Now everything was ruined!

It was bad enough that Shangguan Xi disrupted their plans, but now she was even faking illness!

This was absolutely infuriating!

If Shangguan Xi were right here in front of her now, she wouldn’t hesitate to slap her across the face!

Wu Zhihao turned to Cao Xiaomei sharply, “Let me ask you—what exactly did you do to upset Xiaoxi?”

“I…” Cao Xiaomei’s eyes reddened, and she looked unsure how to respond, adopting a falsely meek and aggrieved expression.

“It was my idea to have Xiaomei help carry on the Wu Family lineage!” Mrs. Wu interjected.
