Chapter 7 - Ex-Husband, We Meet Again (1)
In her past life, she had fallen in love at first sight when she met Mo Yuchen at the tender age of thirteen. From that moment onwards, he had been the center of her universe. Everything she did, she did it for him. However, in the end, all she got was his disgust and coldness, to the extent that he forbade her to give birth to his child.
Su Xiaofei was simply not favored by Mo Yuchen. Throughout their five years of being married, he never touched her, not even once, until she resorted to extreme measures and forced him to spend a night with her.
As expected, that disgust turned into hatred and he ruthlessly forced her to get an abortion after finding out she was pregnant with his child.
"A woman of your caliber isn't worthy of becoming a mother." Mo Yuchen ruthlessly told her before she was dragged by his people into the operating room.
She might be an obnoxious woman, but for her child, Su Xiaofei naturally felt immense love for it. The emptiness of her womb once her child was forcibly aborted by her husband was incomparable to the surge of storm of hatred that filled her heart after that.
How could he kill his own flesh and blood just because he hated her? Su Xiaofei couldn't understand him.
The following week after the abortion, Su Xiaofei hadn't seen, not even the shadow of her husband. To think that he loathed her to the extent that he was willing to kill their baby was too much for her.
After that, Su Xiaofei's actions and attitude turned to worse as she would turn up uninvited to some of the events where her husband was in attendance and caused a commotion in front of the public eyes whenever she spotted Mo Yichen talking to another woman, especially when it's Ye Mingyu. She decided to make them miserable, by leaking the news of their affair in the media.
Because of this, their relationship was beyond salvation as Mo Yuchen decided to divorce this crazy woman. Hearing his intention to divorce, Su Xiaofei wasn't willing to sign it, for she knew that it would only benefit her husband's affair with Ye Mingyu. They could easily make their relationship official once she was out of the picture. So how could she allow that woman to steal her role as his wife?
Forcing her to sign the divorce papers was like offering her the long three feet of white silk!
The nurse on duty who came to check on her saw that she had woken up and immediately called for the doctor to come in. Su Xiaofei - still a little confused of her current situation - cooperated with everything the doctor did and answered his questions calmly.
After determining that Su Xiaofei had recovered, the doctor allowed her to be discharged the next day.
"Miss Su, you are very lucky that your friend rushed you to the ER. Has it been a little later, we aren't sure if we could save you in time. In the future, please avoid drinking excessively. You are still young and I'm afraid it might leave harmful effects on your body if you insist on keeping up this kind of lifestyle."
"I understand, Doctor. I'll limit my consumption of alcohol from now on." Su Xiaofei nodded in agreement. There was no point in harming herself if those people could live happily upon her death.
As soon as the doctor and the nurse walked out, Aunty Liu, who had been working with their family as one of the housekeepers, arrived. When Su Xiaofei eventually married Mo Yuchen, Aunty Liu had decided to retire to live with her successful son and his wife who had given birth to Aunty Liu's first grandchild. At that time, Su Xiaofei was reluctant to let her go and wanted to bring the old woman with her to the Mo family's household.
The old woman put down the thing she carried with her and gave her young miss a good look. Seeing that Su Xiaofei's complexion was better than her last visit, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Feifei, I know you find my nagging irritating, but this old woman is only concerned about your welfare. Next time, don't be impulsive by ditching your bodyguards. If something terrible happens to you, your mother would surely be devastated by it."
Listening to Aunty Liu's concern, Su Xiaofei scolded herself for being selfish in her past life. Because Su Xiaofei wasn't close to her father and with her mother being a workaholic businesswoman, she rarely spent time with them and was always accompanied by Aunty Liu and their other housekeepers.
"I know, Aunty. I won't make the same mistakes again."
"It's good that you know." The old woman was pleased by Su Xiaofei's answer, not knowing that the promise Su Xiaofei made was not only about her drinking alcohol, but also avoiding the mistakes she committed in her past life.
Su Xiaofei remembered that her mother was against her idea of marrying Mo Yuchen. Perhaps, Yun Qingrong knew that the man wouldn't cherish her daughter. Also, because of her own husband's betrayal, she feared that Su Xiaofei would also suffer the same pain she went through.
The more Su Xiaofei thought about it, the more she felt guilty for not listening to her mother's words. She even regretted that she had argued with Yun Qingrong and forced her to accept her marriage with Mo Yuchen. Su Xiaofei wasn't sure if her mother was aware that the only reason Mo Yuchen agreed to their union was because he was eyeing the wealth Yun Qingrong managed to raise by herself after she was disowned by the Yun family.
Just as Su Xiaofei was about to eat the congee Aunty Liu bought for her, a familiar person appeared at the doorway, taking their attention.
"Young Master Mo!" Aunty Liu gasped in surprise while Su Xiaofei remained calm because she was expecting her traitorous husband's arrival today.
'Ex-husband, so, we meet again.'
