Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 489: Chapter 490: Let’s Take a Look

Ye Xingbei breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good.”

She feared that Qiao Yi was obsessed, blindly walking down a dark path, dumb enough to raise a child for Zhang Heyuan and another woman even if they had a baby together.

If this were the case, she would feel disgusted, let alone Senior Master Gu and Gu Junzhu.

Looking at the determination in Qiao Yi’s eyes, Ye Xingbei felt that her niece, Gu Junzhu, was not completely hopeless.

“Xiao Qiao said, the pregnant woman had a cesarean section this morning at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital,” Ye Xingbei asked: “Should I accompany you to check it out now? Whether the child belongs to Zhang Heyuan or Zhang Heyuan’s cousin, it needs to be clarified.”

“She had a cesarean section this morning?” Qiao Yi clenched her fists, gritting her teeth: “Alright, let’s go see.”

So, the pregnant woman had a cesarean section this morning.

But Zhang Heyuan didn’t tell her!

If the child was indeed Zhang Heyuan’s cousin’s, why did Zhang Heyuan hide the fact about the cesarean section from her?

Moreover, Zhang Heyuan said he had work to do and was going to Feng City for a business trip, and probably wouldn’t be back until a week later.

Had he really gone to Feng City?

Or…

Qiao Yi closed her eyes, not daring to think further.

Yesterday, she had a big fight with Qiao Zui.

Qiao Zui said that Zhang Heyuan had gotten a child through surrogacy, which she did not believe it at all.

Moreover, she knew about that child, clearly, it was Zhang Heyuan’s cousin’s child, how could it be Zhang Heyuan’s?

She thought that Qiao Zui was biased against Zhang Heyuan and considering the strained relationship between the siblings, they quarreled after only a few words of conversation and ended up parting on bad terms.

Last night, Zhang Heyuan didn’t come home.

She didn’t sleep all night, thinking for a long time.

She felt she had been too impulsive.

Whether it was her grandfather, uncle, or brother, they all loved and cared for her.

Her brother would not fabricate such a thing.

What if…

What if it’s true?

She couldn’t imagine how she was going to accept this fact.

She thought all night, and by the time dawn broke, she finally came to a conclusion.

If it were true, then she would divorce Zhang Heyuan.

After the divorce, she would give back double the humiliation and grievance she had suffered in the Zhang family over the past three years!

Ever since she married Zhang Heyuan, Mother Zhang urged her to have a child.

Because she couldn’t conceive, Mother Zhang assigned her chores without any respect, treating her like a servant and constantly nagging at her.

She wanted to move out with Zhang Heyuan, but every time he would appease her, saying that it wasn’t easy for his mother to raise him alone, and he must show her respect. He asked her to endure a bit longer.

Zhang Heyuan was nice, always speaking softly, seemingly patient.

She loved Zhang Heyuan, and didn’t want him to be in a tough position between her and his mother, so she always swallowed her resentment and compromised.

But over time, Mother Zhang became even more overbearing.

Looking at the rising dawn outside the window, the events of the past three years flashed through her mind, and she suddenly realized that even without the surrogacy issue, she probably wouldn’t be able to endure for much longer.

The love between her and Zhang Heyuan had been worn down to nearly nothing due to his unconditional indulgence and concession to his mother.

She had been forcing herself to endure all the hardships just to create the illusion of happiness, to tell her grandfather, her uncle, her brother, and all the relatives and friends who initially opposed her relationship with Zhang Heyuan, that her choices were right and she was happy with him.
