After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

The nurse pushed a wheelchair over to take Lin Fei away.

Lin Mengchuan didn't know what to do, so he grabbed Shen Qinglan and pleaded, "Auntie, please help me, please."

Shen Qinglan is kind-hearted, and she cannot stand idly by when she encounters such a situation.

She instructed her son, Qi Muci, to have him and Qiao Ran undergo the examinations according to the list given by the hospital director.

She accompanied Lin Mengchuan and left with the doctor.

Shen Qingzhu and Cai Lianfang rushed to the hospital as soon as they received Lin Mengchuan's call.

Shen Qingzhu came with her mother-in-law, Xu Ying.

Xu Ying hadn't planned to come, but when she heard that Lin Fei had fallen while chasing Lin Mengchuan, she was afraid of causing a fatality, so she came along too.

Cai Lianfang came with her husband Lin Dahai, and the two of them even brought along their hospital bag.

Because Lin Mengchuan and Lin Fei are not a couple, only Lin Dahai and his wife can sign the document, so Cai Lianfang had to take a taxi over.

Fortunately, the hospital was not far away, and the two arrived in just over ten minutes.

As soon as she signed the papers, Lin Fei was taken to the operating room for a cesarean section.

As luck would have it, Lin Fei hadn't drunk a drop of water since last night because she was having a prenatal checkup today, which allowed her to have the surgery smoothly.

After Lin Fei was wheeled into the operating room, Shen Qingzhu scolded her son outside, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming with Lin Fei for her prenatal checkup? I definitely would have come with you. If I had come, this wouldn't have happened."

Lin Mengchuan lowered his head and remained silent.

Shen Qingzhu looked at her older sister Shen Qinglan, somewhat puzzled, "Big sister, what a coincidence that you're here too?"

Shen Qinglan said expressionlessly, "It was quite a coincidence that I accompanied Mu Ci to have a physical examination. I didn't expect to run into Meng Chuan. It seems to be fate."

Cai Lianfang looked at Shen Qingzhu, then glanced at Shen Qinglan, pondered for a moment, and whispered to Lin Mengchuan, "Mengchuan, is that your aunt? Your biological aunt?"

Lin Mengchuan responded with a muffled "Hmm," without saying anything more.

Shen Qinglan scrutinized Cai Lianfang and Lin Dahai, then asked with a smile, "Are these Meng Chuan's girlfriend's parents?"

Shen Qingzhu was displeased, "Big sister, don't talk nonsense. Lin Fei is not Meng Chuan's girlfriend."

Cai Lianfang and Lin Dahai's faces both fell.

Shen Qinglan smiled and deliberately said, "Sister, this is wrong of you. You already have a child, and you're not acknowledging him. That's not very nice. Do you want your newborn child to be scolded?"

Cai Lianfang quickly chimed in, "Auntie is so sensible. That's what we said too. No matter what happened before, we already have a child. For the sake of the child, we should give our Feifei a proper status."

Shen Qingzhu's face was dark and sour, and she pouted without saying a word.

Xu Ying, standing to the side, simply watched the spectacle with a smile, without saying a word.

Lin Mengchuan was silent for a while before replying to Shen Qinglan, "Auntie, I will take the child home and raise him, but I will not marry Lin Fei because we have no feelings for each other and we will not be happy together."

Shen Qinglan laughed sarcastically, "Oh, Meng Chuan, that's so irresponsible of you. If you have no feelings for her and don't want to be with her, then why did you get her pregnant?"

"You really are something else. Back then, your grandma made you marry Qiao Ran, but you said you didn't like her. After the wedding, you went abroad and then came back with this mess."

"Qiao Ran gave you both a chance, but now you say you have no feelings for Lin Fei. So who do you actually like?"

“Auntie is right,” Xu Ying chimed in, seizing the opportunity to complain. “He didn’t like the person I introduced, so he found someone himself, and he’s still not satisfied. I have no idea what he’s trying to do.”

Cai Lianfang coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Meng Chuan, actually most couples don't have feelings for each other. Those who love each other before marriage will become indifferent after marriage. Living together is not about feelings."

Lin Mengchuan didn't understand why everyone was criticizing him. He irritably loosened his tie and said, "Why are you telling me all this now? Shouldn't we be concerned about the people in the operating room?"

Xu Ying scoffed, "What's the use of our concern? We're not doctors, and we can't help."

Cai Lianfang: "Yes, Meng Chuan, don't be nervous. It's just childbirth. There are doctors here, so what's there to be afraid of? But what I'm worried about now is the postpartum care center. We're going there half a month in advance, and I don't know if there will be any rooms available."

“If we don’t have a house, where will Feifei have her postpartum confinement? I don’t mind her going back to have her postpartum confinement, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to take care of them both, and I’ll have to cook for them all by myself.”

Shen Qingzhu knew that Cai Lianfang was saying this on purpose for her to hear, so she replied, "If there are no rooms available at the postpartum care center, let Lin Fei bring the baby to our house for postpartum care."

“My eldest sister is right. No matter what, the child belongs to the Lin family, and we will not abandon him.”

Upon hearing this, Cai Lianfang smiled broadly and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. I'll go and help too."

Shen Qinglan had been listening in the background. She hoped that Lin Mengchuan would marry Lin Fei, so that Lin Mengchuan would have no time to cause trouble for Qiao Ran.

Dealing with a mother-in-law like Cai Lianfang was enough to give him a hard time.

Shen Qinglan could tell at a glance that Cai Lianfang was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Cai Lianfang deliberately brought up the topic of postpartum care centers, and anyone with a normal IQ could tell what was going on.

She said it on purpose for Shen Qingzhu to hear.

There are plenty of postpartum care centers in Beijing's northern city; it's impossible for them all to be fully booked.

Cai Lianfang didn't want her daughter to go to the postpartum care center; she wanted her to stay at the Lin family's house instead.

After the full moon, we'll find another reason to stay.

This scheme is so simple that even a child could figure it out; it's not that complicated.

Shen Qinglan deliberately fueled the flames, saying with a smile, "It's better to have your postpartum confinement at home. Although postpartum care centers are professional, they have to take care of many people, so it's impossible for them to take care of themselves like we do at home."

Cai Lianfang nodded vigorously, "Yes, Auntie is right, that's what I meant too. We're all women, we've all been through it, we all know that giving birth to a child takes half your life."

"As a mother, I feel sorry for my daughter and hope that she can have a good postpartum period and recover well so that she can have more children in the future. Feifei likes children and doesn't mind having more."

Shen Qinglan: "Oh, Meng Chuan, you're so lucky. Nowadays, many girls don't want to have children. At most, you'll be lucky to have one. Don't even think about having a second or third child."

Lin Mengchuan felt particularly annoyed as he listened to Shen Qinglan and Cai Lianfang talking in unison, as if they had planned it in advance.

He couldn't hold back any longer. "Auntie, thank you for staying here. If you're busy, please go back first. My mom and grandma are here, that's enough. Thank you so much for your help today."

"What trouble? We're all family." Shen Qinglan didn't want to leave. She was also very curious and wanted to see the child before she left.

Besides, Qi Muci and Qiao Ran haven't finished their tests yet.

“I’m not in a hurry to leave. I still need to wait for your cousin to have his medical check-up. It’s nice for me to chat with you all here.”

Shen Qingzhu knew that Shen Qinglan had deliberately stayed there, so she said, "Big sister, you should go and see if Mu Ci has finished his physical examination. Maybe he has already finished and left."

Just as Shen Qinglan was about to reply, the operating room door opened, and a nurse came out carrying the baby.
