Chapter 588 Act 1
Wan Dongcheng dropped Zhao Xinlan back at school and didn’t rush to the hospital. Instead, he went home, changed his clothes, and then leisurely made his way to the hospital.
Having stayed in the ward for a day, Li Shiping, not wanting her child to feel stuffy, took her for a walk in the corridor. Just then, Wan Dongcheng was walking down the corridor. She bent down to pick up the child and called out, "Dongcheng."
At the sound, Wan Dongcheng walked over. Seeing that the child looked quite lively, his face instantly turned dark, "I said she was fine and there was nothing wrong, but you had to make a mountain out of a molehill and take her to the hospital. Li Shiping, you just didn’t want to attend my cousin’s wedding and were looking for an excuse, weren’t you?"
Li Shiping felt her heart grow cold as she was greeted not with concern from her husband, but with blatant reproach. "The child had caught pneumonia. If it weren’t for He Nan and Mianmian taking her to the hospital, who knows how bad her fever would have gotten by now."
Upon hearing that He Nan was the one who brought her to the hospital, Wan Dongcheng exploded with jealousy, feeling as though a green hat had been placed atop his head, his complexion growing even greener, "He Nan, He Nan, if He Nan is so great, why didn’t you marry him in the first place? Why did you marry poor me?" He Nan was like a thorn in Wan Dongcheng’s heart, highlighting all his inadequacies in stark relief.
The emphasis that the Li Family placed on He Nan only made Wan Dongcheng loathe hearing his name even more.
"Dongcheng, what do you mean by that?" Li Shiping looked at him, her face filled with sorrow.
