Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

"Alright, alright, what are you standing there for?"

"The soup's gone cold, Shen Zhiyi, aren't you going to heat it up?"

"Manman is pregnant, so she can't eat cold food."

Seeing that the originally cheerful atmosphere had turned cold due to Shen Zhiyi's arrival, Zhang Feng glared at her with dissatisfaction, but then continued to direct her as if nothing had happened.

He showed absolutely no remorse towards Shen Zhiyi.

Her voice was already loud, and when she spoke, it drowned out Shen Zhiyi's words, so no one heard her last sentence.

Xu Zhesheng was closest to Shen Zhiyi, and her words faintly reached his ears.

But he just pretended he had misheard. After all, Shen Zhiyi loved him so much, how could she possibly divorce him over something like this?

Even if she really wanted to leave, where could she go?

Then she saw Shen Zhiyi staring intently at Su Manman's stomach, and she pursed her lips and stood in front of her.

He said nothing, but his attitude said it all.

Shen Zhiyi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body was ice cold.

She was actually hungry. While she was hospitalized, in order to meet the deadline, she would only eat a few bites of food each day.

In addition, having just undergone surgery, I could only drink some bland porridge, which made my appetite even worse.

Now that I'm back here, it's not surprising that I feel hungry seeing the table full of food.

But she wasn't in the mood to eat.

In the past, she went to great lengths to please Xu Zhesheng's family. Every time she came here, she would do everything herself, whether it was cooking or cleaning. Having never done housework since childhood, she had long since developed excellent cooking skills.

But seeing this family of three knowing that Xu Zhesheng was having an affair and even having the audacity to invite his mistress to the table and now expecting her to heat up soup for Su Manman, she felt that her past attempts to please him were truly like those of a clown.

It's incredibly ugly.

She didn't move, standing still, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes still looking at Xu Zhesheng, but she didn't say anything.

The two remained locked in this stalemate for a full two minutes.

In the end, it was Su Manman who stood up and broke the deadlock.

She slowly stood up, supporting her belly. Her eyes were a little red, and her already delicate face had an air of pitifulness.

"Uncle, Aunt, Zhe, I think I made Sister Zhi unhappy by being here. To be honest, this is indeed my fault. You haven't told her yet, and I just showed up here. It's normal that she can't accept it right away."

"I should go first. Today is Ah Zhe's birthday, and I don't want you to be unhappy."

As she spoke, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder rang out from the sky, and within seconds, the already gloomy sky was instantly filled with a torrential downpour.

Zhang Feng couldn't bear to see Su Manman, who was pregnant with her precious grandson, go out and get soaked in the rain, so she quickly stopped her: "Manman, sit down."

"It's already dark, and it's raining now. What if you accidentally bump into something while you're pregnant?"

"I think you and Ah Zhe should rest here for a while, and Ah Zhe will take you home when it gets light."

Su Manman glanced cautiously at Shen Zhiyi, then hesitated, "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate? What should we do, Sister Zhi?"

When she arrived, she saw that there were only two bedrooms in the house. Zhang Feng and Xu Zhi shared one room. If she and Xu Zhesheng were here, where would Shen Zhiyi sleep?

"Her? She's perfectly healthy, what's there to worry about?"

Zhang Feng glanced at Shen Zhiyi, her eyes full of disdain:

"She's been married to our Ah Zhe for so many years and has never had a baby. We've taken her to see both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine doctors over the years and spent a lot of money, but she's just not lucky and can't get pregnant no matter what."

"It's okay if I get a little rained on."

Zhang Feng openly belittled Shen Zhiyi in front of Su Manman. A hint of smugness flashed in Su Manman's eyes, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Then she looked at Xu Zhesheng: "Zhe, I..."

His tone was cautious and ingratiating.

Xu Zhesheng glanced at the weather outside; it was indeed pouring rain, and with the darkness, even driving was unsafe.

He nodded: "Manman, listen to your mother."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Shen Zhiyi. She was very beautiful. Even though she was born in the entertainment industry, her appearance was no less than that of a star. Every director who had met her had invited her to act, but she always refused.

Xu Zhesheng knew that she just wanted to stay by his side to help him.

This blow was really big for her today.

His gaze softened. "I'll go back with you later. You must be tired these past few days?"

"Come and eat first."

Hearing that tone, which sounded like that of an emperor, Shen Zhiyi clenched her fist tightly under her sleeve.

But Su Manman, who had gotten the better deal, still didn't know when to stop and even smiled as she leaned closer, taking her hand and saying:

"Sister Zhi, I'm sorry for keeping this from you for so long, but Director Xu is doing this for your own good. After all, you've been married to him for so many years, and he still cares about your feelings."

"Don't worry, I'll leave right after I give birth, and it will absolutely not affect your marriage with Director Xu."

"Also, I'll need your help with the editing later on. You know how much pregnancy affects women. I haven't been feeling well lately, and my skin is in bad shape. If there are any flaws in the final cut, please help me cover them up."

As she spoke, she touched her face and sighed:

"Sigh, I really envy you, Sister Zhi. You don't have to go through any of this. You got a child for free, so much less worry."

"If I had a husband like that, my life would be complete."

Others might not realize it, but Shen Zhiyi knew that Su Manman was mocking her for not being able to have children and showing off in front of her!

Moreover, judging from the tone of her voice, Su Manman knew about her relationship with Xu Zhesheng from the very beginning.

During this time on set, this woman would always take advantage of her pregnancy to order her around. She thought that since the woman was pregnant, she would help her. Little did she know that the woman was her husband's mistress!

A sharp pain shot through the back of her hand. Looking down, she saw Su Manman looking at her with a mocking smile, her hand secretly pinching her from behind, out of sight of the family of three, as if this would declare her victory.

At that moment, Shen Zhiyi's anger surged violently to the top of her head with overwhelming force.

Xu Zhesheng's indifference towards her, his betrayal, and his allowing Su Manman to boss her around on set, and now even letting this mistress stand in the house she bought for his parents and speak to her arrogantly.

Shen Zhiyi, who was usually mild-mannered, suddenly pulled back the hand that Su Manman was tightly holding, and with all her might, raised her hand and slapped her face hard, which was still smiling.

With a loud "bang," everyone in the room stared wide-eyed at the scene, completely stunned.

Shen Zhiyi pointed at Su Manman and said, word by word, "Since when has a mistress been allowed to swagger in front of the wife?"
