My Sweet and Charming Wife

C145 – Please Divorce My Son

Gu Yuehuan gazed at the concise note on the medical report, which recommended fallopian tube blocking. She looked at the ashen face before her.

How was this possible? How could this be the reality? How could she be unable to conceive? She had always assumed her health was sound and that conception was just a matter of timing. Yet even Zhao Yun, who had declared that she would not bear children, was left flabbergasted by the diagnosis. Fortunately, Gu Yuehuan had acted astutely, heeding the advice of older women and undergoing a medical examination. Otherwise, she might have been misled by this conniving woman. No wonder Zhao Yun had claimed she didn’t want offspring. It wasn’t a matter of preference, it was the impossibility of bearing children. She had been deceived by this woman!

Upon learning of her infertility, Zhao Yun’s aspirations to hold her grandchild vanished in an instant, and she crumbled emotionally. Her tears flowed unrestrainedly, creating a pattering sound as they hit the surface. She pounded the table and shouted, “Gu Yuehuan! You wicked woman, what kind of malevolence runs in your veins? You’re fully aware you can’t conceive, yet you feigned disinterest in having children! You falsely claimed you didn’t desire offspring, and I found it puzzling. Why would you not want children? Because your body is incapable of it! Why are you stalling my son? Why did you enter into matrimony with my son! I longed to cradle my grandson. You’re hindering my son. I’ve lost even that chance. What’s your motive? I truly despise you!”

Gu Yuehuan’s demeanor took an odd turn from the moment she learned of her infertility. The addition of these words only made her more uneasy.

Zhao Yun was now weeping and wailing. Her heart too was heavy with frustration. Now that she knew about her own condition, she too felt shattered. She yearned to be a mother when her pregnancy came, willingly embracing motherhood. In this lifetime, she wished to wed Huo Qingyue, and together they would bring forth the joys of parenthood. But now, with her inability to conceive laid bare, her dreams were dashed.

Gu Yuehuan and Zhao Yun were escorted out of the room due to their escalating altercation. The doctor, witnessing their dispute, took the decision to intervene, prompting them both to leave the premises.

Gu Yuehuan, upon learning of the situation, hadn’t responded much initially. She had stepped out to sit outdoors, observing Zhao Yun in tears. An urge to talk with her surfaced, “Mom…”

Zhao Yun, however, recoiled at her touch, displaying resistance as she pushed Gu Yuehuan’s hand away. Despite her previous sobbing, she now covered her mouth, crying with a sense of desolation, “Don’t touch me. I don’t want to see you right now. It’s infuriating to look at you! You lied to me about such a crucial matter. You can’t conceive. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Had you spoken up, I wouldn’t have let my son marry you. He could have been with your sister instead!”

Gu Yuehuan felt deeply aggrieved, causing her eyes to redden as she spoke. “I was unaware until recently that I couldn’t conceive. The doctor informed me only moments ago, and this was my first time learning of it. This has also come as a tremendous blow to me. I too long to become a mother. Can you truly believe I don’t feel any discomfort? I genuinely didn’t have prior knowledge of this when I spoke to you.”

The current state of affairs left the discussion moot, regardless of how much she elaborated.

Zhao Yun’s thoughts were consumed by the news of her infertility. Upon seeing Gu Yuehuan approaching, she reflexively clasped her hand. Tearfully, she implored, “Yuehuan, consider this a plea from your mother. I beseech you, divorce Qingyue. Remaining with him would only hinder him. He’s still so young, with plenty of time. He will undoubtedly become a father. But for now, since you can’t conceive, and can’t extend our family line, please release him. Divorce him, let him marry another woman and have children.”
