Chapter 64: The Child Is Very Ugly

“How would I know that the child would be born more than ten days premature?” Li Qin glared at her son but the smile on her face never dimmed, as though her lips could no longer meet. “Furthermore, Wei Wei’s grandfather has been hospitalized due to an illness and she was such a filial granddaughter that it would not have been proper for me to hold her back from leaving. This is all your fault. You have always been so busy and did not take proper care of Wei Wei, so she was forced to visit her relatives alone.”
Li Qin continued to berate her son. At this point in time, her daughter-in-law who had just borne her a precious grandson was more important than her own son.
The car sped all the way to Ningze City. It was only 500 kilometers away and was not considered very far but cities were often plagued with traffic jams so they only arrived at the Women’s Hospital at Ningze City after a six-hour drive.
This was an expensive private hospital so the doctors were highly skilled and the number of births they received here was no less than those of the large public hospitals.
Li Qin rushed into the hospital the moment they arrived, running the whole time. Her anxiousness startled Wu Xiaomin the maid.
In the VIP ward of the hospital.
Xia Yuwei wore a maternity hospital gown and lay weakly on the hospital bed, her lips pale. She had spent more than eight hours in labor and was extremely tired. She turned to look at her mother, Chen Yueru, and the child in her mother’s arms. The baby was tiny and weighed very little. The child was swaddled in a baby blanket and his skin looked faintly flushed under the lamp. His tiny eyes were tightly shut as if he was asleep.
Xia Yuwei was unable to tear her gaze away from her child. Unfortunately, there was not a trace of maternal love that was commonly seen in women who had just given birth in her eyes.
“Mum, why is this child so ugly?” Xia Yuwei pouted and made a scathing remark. She glared at the child as though he was thoroughly unlikeable.
He was so ugly and his skin was as wrinkled as an old man’s. To make things worse, his nose was flat and his lips were on the thick sick. In any case, she decided that he was ugly and did not like him from the moment she laid eyes on him.
Chen Yueru hurriedly stroked her daughter’s shoulder, “Alright, stop saying such things. All newborn infants look exactly like this. Whether you like him or not, this child is your son.”
They spoke in low whispers and in a nearby corridor, the Mo family entourage was speeding toward them.
Li Qin let out an excited cry the moment she burst into the room.
“Aiya…if it isn’t Yuwei’s mother, it must have been tiring for you.” She looked at the tiny infant in Chen Yueru’s arms and smiled broadly.
She hurriedly reached over to take the tiny infant from Chen Yueru’s arms and carefully held the child in her own arms, as though she was holding a precious treasure.
She walked to Yuwei’s beside and smiled happily as she looked at Xia Yuwei, her gaze doting.
“Wei Wei, you have been suffered through a lot. I did not know that you would give birth today and had I been aware of this, I would have accompanied you myself when you first returned to Ningze City.” She said apologetically.
Xia Yuwei merely smiled, tight-lipped.
“Look here, I’ve brought you a present. You have really made a significant contribution to the Mo family.” Li Qin rummaged through her bag and dug out an elegant silver jewelry box.
She had specially selected a necklace which was worth $450,000.
Xia Yuwei accepted the gift and expressed her grat.i.tude to her mother-in-law. However, she did not open the box immediately but instead looked at the tall figure by the door.
