Chapter 83: Shen Wei Is Pregnant

Yu Wanqin felt deeply moved.

She truly hadn’t expected these people to stand up and speak on her behalf.

“Thank you, everyone,” she said, her voice choked with emotion.

Doctor Zou, who had always been on good terms with her, grasped her hand. “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely help you! Losing an excellent doctor like you would be a huge loss for our hospital! The hospital needs you, not the other way around!”

“That’s right!” the other doctors chimed in.

They also felt ashamed for not being able to fully support her last time.

They had even doubted Doctor Yu because of Doctor Shen’s words back then.

Doctor Zou turned to the old couple from the Lin family, whose faces were livid. “Old Lady, you’d better stop making a scene. Our Doctor Yu is a talent even major hospitals in Jingshi are fighting over. Even if she weren’t at our hospital, she could easily find a better position elsewhere. But that Shen Wei you mentioned is nothing but a shameless fraud who even faked her nurse certificate. Even if Doctor Yu resigned, the hospital director would never let her come back!”

“And aren’t you curious why Commander Gu is helping Doctor Yu so much? It’s because last time, when Commander Gu was shot in the chest, it was Doctor Yu who saved him! Her miraculous medical skills are something even doctors in Jingshi might not be able to match! How dare you doubt Doctor Yu’s medical expertise and character? Pah!”

Old Mr. Lin was stunned.

He hadn’t realized Yu Wanqin was actually this remarkable.

But hadn’t Shen Wei told them… that Yu Wanqin had slept her way into her job?

Old Mrs. Lin’s face flushed crimson, and she stammered, “She… she’s just a country woman…”

“What’s wrong with being a country woman?” Doctor Zou defended her. “Doctor Yu learned a few things casually in the countryside and is already this skilled. Can you imagine how incredible she’d be if she formally studied at a medical school for a few years? She might even become the top doctor in the country! That just proves how amazing Doctor Yu is!”

Old Mrs. Lin swallowed hard.

Goodness! This doctor was so eloquent, her words flowing smoothly and logically. There was no way she could argue back.

Doctor Zou snorted coldly and took Yu Wanqin’s hand. “I wasn’t here last time, or I would’ve given them a piece of my mind! Let’s go, they’re waiting for you to perform surgery over there!”

Yu Wanqin gave her an admiring look and followed Doctor Zou away.

The onlookers also spat a few curses at the old couple before dispersing.

The old couple slunk back to the ward in disgrace.

Old Mr. Lin flew into a rage—he had never felt so humiliated in his life.

To be publicly scolded and unable to refute a single word!

Now they were starting to see things clearly.

Yu Wanqin had earned her job through genuine skill, while Shen Wei had even faked her nurse certificate.

And she had lied to them, saying Yu Wanqin had stolen her job!

She had used them as pawns, making them lose face so badly!

So when Shen Wei brought lunch over in the afternoon, eagerly asking about the situation, the old couple immediately lashed out at her.

Shen Wei hadn’t expected this outcome.

The old couple refused to go after Yu Wanqin anymore.

Old Mr. Lin even began to think that since Yu Wanqin was so skilled, she might even be able to cure Zhi Guo’s illness.

Having such a capable daughter-in-law would bring them honor.

As for the Yu family’s assets, as long as Yu Wanqin remained their daughter-in-law, that money would eventually be theirs.

Seeing the expressions on the old couple’s faces, Shen Wei understood everything perfectly.

After Lin Zhiguo heard about the recent incidents, he returned and scolded them again.

“If you don’t want me to get promoted, if you want me to go back to farming, then keep causing trouble! When that happens, we’ll all be finished!”

This time, even the two old fools from the Lin family switched sides.

Shen Wei felt deeply uneasy.

If things continued like this, once she and her children returned to their hometown, they would surely end up living a life of drudgery, just like Yu Wanqin!

She was truly panicked.

Tongtong also guessed that Shen Wei would never willingly return to their hometown.

She believed Shen Wei would definitely find a way to stay.

Perhaps now was the perfect opportunity to go along with the plan and help Mother get a divorce.

So the little girl deliberately made a big circle around the family compound, greeting all the nearby wood spirits.

She asked them to keep an eye on Shen Wei for her.

After waiting for two days, there was indeed news from Shen Wei’s side.

She was pregnant!

Shen Wei didn’t dare go to the Military District Hospital. Instead, she went to a small clinic outside for a checkup.

Two months pregnant!

She touched her still-flat belly, feeling panic at first, but then a glimmer of hope emerged.

This child was Regiment Commander Yang’s!

Lin Zhiguo hadn’t touched her in a long time. She had only been involved with Regiment Commander Yang!

Shen Wei felt as if she had grasped a lifeline and secretly ran to Regiment Commander Yang’s office.

Regiment Commander Yang was startled. He first stood up, walked to the door, and looked around before closing it and turning back, frowning deeply.

“Why did you come to my office? Didn’t I tell you not to look for me these past few days…”

The incident where Shen Wei had instigated others to cause trouble at the Military District Hospital had spread like wildfire.

He was afraid of getting implicated, after all, it was his idea, and he was the one who had connected the dots.

Their relationship was just a fleeting affair. There was no need for him to risk his career for a woman.

Shen Wei’s tears immediately fell: “Old Yang, what should I do? I… I’m pregnant… the child is yours.”

Regiment Commander Yang was shocked, his eyes widening: “Really?”

Shen Wei covered her face sadly: “Why would I lie to you? Lin Zhiguo is completely useless. He hasn’t touched me in ages. I’ve only been with you…”

The rest didn’t need to be said. Regiment Commander Yang understood.

He was overwhelmed with immense joy!

He owed his current position to his wife’s family connections, but he didn’t want that fat woman to bear his child because even if she did, the child couldn’t take his surname.

Others would know he had married into her family back then, and he couldn’t bear the shame.

All these years, he had secretly been giving her birth control pills.

Who would have thought that with Shen Wei, just those few times, it had actually worked.

Shen Wei secretly observed his expression, quietly let out a sigh of relief, turned her head away, and said in a muffled voice: “I secretly went to see a traditional Chinese doctor. It’s a boy. But I’m being sent back to my hometown. You and your son will never meet in this lifetime.”

“And… Old Yang, Zhi Guo is useless. If he finds out I’m pregnant, he’ll definitely suspect something. Once I return to my hometown, he’ll force me to abort the child!”

She covered her face and cried again.

Regiment Commander Yang gritted his teeth and grasped Shen Wei’s hand: “I won’t let him do that!”

If it really was a son, then it was the seed of their Old Yang family!

“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to keep you in the military district. I won’t let you and the child suffer.”

Shen Wei leaned against his shoulder, weeping sadly: “But I lost my job, and I’ve been issued an eviction order. I can’t stay. Lin Zhiguo only has eyes for that bitch Yu Wanqin. He won’t help me.”

Regiment Commander Yang clenched his teeth.

No matter what, he couldn’t let his own offspring be sent to the countryside to suffer.

His beady eyes shifted, and he came up with a wicked idea: “Here’s what you do… go back and force Lin Zhiguo to divorce, then marry him! That way, you’ll keep your status as a military dependent. Not only can you stay, but you’ll also have a legitimate reason to give birth to the child!”

This meant making Lin Zhiguo a cuckold and having him raise the child.

Shen Wei’s eyes flickered slightly, a faint, almost imperceptible smile curling at the corner of her lips.

This was exactly what she wanted.

She said with a pitiful tone, “But Lin Zhiguo won’t agree.”
