Chapter 186 Killing the Cuckoo (1)
Yan Zhen stayed in Canglan Valley until he was sixty years old, then withdrew from the small world and returned to the Quick Transmigration Division.
Before entering the Quick Transmigration Bureau, she specifically asked Xiao Qi if Jing Chen was there.
For her, she spent decades in Canglan Valley.
But for Jing Chen, only a few days had passed in the Quick Transmigration Division.
It's best to avoid running into Jingchen recently.
Upon receiving news that Jing Chen was away on a mission and not currently at the Quick Transmigration Division, Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pushed open the door to enter the office.
Not knowing when Jing Chen would return, Yan Zhen only rested briefly at the Quick Transmigration Division before entering the next world.
Upon waking up in the new dimension, Yan Zhen was leaning against the wall of the hospital waiting area corridor.
The new body was heavy; she was wearing flat shoes and loose maternity clothes, holding her prenatal checkup report in her hand.
The original owner was a pregnant woman.
Yan Zhen glanced at the list in his hand. It showed that the original owner's name was Gao Li, she was 26 years old and 28 weeks pregnant.
The surroundings were noisy. There were five or six other pregnant women like her, leaning against the corridor wall waiting for their numbers to be called. Not far away, the waiting chairs marked "Pregnant Women's Waiting Area" were all occupied by male family members accompanying their patients, all of them looking down at their phones.
Yan Zhen thought for a moment, then walked up to one of the young men, supporting her pregnant belly, and said, "Sir."
The man, engrossed in his game, glanced up at her quickly before looking down at his phone again: "What is it?"
"Could you give me your seat?"
Without a second thought, the man refused, saying, "Go find someone else. Can't you see I'm busy right now?"
Yan Zhen narrowed her eyes, supported her belly, moved her body to the edge of the bench, and squeezed down to sit.
She was heavy, and by squeezing in, she successfully secured a seat. The young man playing games and the two men pretending to be deaf and dumb next to him were immediately squeezed together like sandwich fillings.
The young man exclaimed "Ouch!" twice, then suddenly stood up and glared at Yan Zhen: "What are you doing?"
Yan Zhen: "You refused to give up your seat when I asked you to, so I had to find a way myself."
The man got angry: "So what if you're pregnant? The child in your belly isn't mine, why should I give up my seat for you!"
Yan Zhen: "Because I lack manners and am morally blackmailing you."
Man: "...You have terrible character!"
Yan Zhen touched her stomach: "Yes, are you going to hold it against me?"
man:"……"
He was furious, but considering that Yan Zhen was pregnant, he couldn't be rough with her. So he could only glare at her fiercely and then go find a place to squat down and play on his phone, looking utterly dejected.
Yan Zhen shifted his body to sit up straight, then looked at the two men beside him.
The two men were watching the commotion when they saw Yan Zhen staring at them. His eyes and expression seemed to say everything, even though he hadn't said anything—get up and offer your seats!
The two hesitated for a moment, then got up and left dejectedly.
Yan Zhen immediately beckoned the two pregnant women to come and sit down.
One of the older pregnant women was carrying a bag and a stack of pregnancy test results. She was standing so long that her back ached. As soon as she sat down, she immediately thanked Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "You're welcome." After a few exchanges, the two began to share their parenting experiences.
Two hours later, Yan Zhen went to the restroom after finishing the check-up in line.
Sitting on the toilet in the stall, she started flipping through the strategy guide.
Gao Li, 26 years old, with a high school education, met her husband Fang Yihe through an introduction a year ago. The two got married three months after they met.
Fang Yihe comes from a scholarly family; both his parents are highly educated intellectuals with outstanding achievements in their professional fields. At the age of 32, he became an associate professor at a research institute, making him a promising young man with a bright future.
With a high level of education, high income, and tall stature, Fang Yihe is a refined, gentle, and good-tempered man. To outsiders, he is a standard "three-high" high-quality stock. Gao Li once felt that meeting him was fate's compensation for her unfortunate past.
Less than a month after their marriage, Gao Li became pregnant. She quit her low-paying job and became a full-time housewife.
During her pregnancy, Fang Yihe treated her very well, showing her great care and concern, and not letting her do any housework. The two of them eagerly awaited the birth of their child.
After ten months of pregnancy, Gao Li gave birth to a daughter.
The arrival of the child made the Fang family very happy, especially Fang Yihe. Every day after get off work, the first thing he did was to hold his daughter and play with her. The children's room was filled with toys he had bought for his daughter.
At the same time, Gao Li clearly felt that Fang Yihe had become much colder in bed. He no longer showed affection to her and preferred to sleep with his daughter in the children's room at night rather than lie in the same bed with her.
When their daughter turned one year old, Fang Yihe urged Gao Li to have a second child, citing his advanced age.
Although Gao Li had doubts about her husband's indifference in sex, the conservative upbringing she received from her family of origin on the subject of sex prevented her from asking him any further questions.
After trying to conceive, she became pregnant with her second child and gave birth to a son.
After her son was born, Fang Yi focused most of her attention on her work and her two children, completely neglecting Gao Li.
Gao Li mustered up her courage and pressed for an answer. Fang Yihe said helplessly, "I'm sorry to have made you feel bad. I'm not a good husband who can balance work and marriage. If you feel that I can't meet your expectations, then let's get a divorce."
Gao Li was someone who had a low sense of worth and was prone to internal conflict. These words made her feel guilty, and she kept looking for reasons within herself, feeling that she wasn't considerate enough of her husband. Her husband was already exhausted from earning money to support the family and taking care of the children, and she shouldn't have such high expectations of him, and so on...
Even with self-hypnosis and brainwashing, Gao Li still noticed something was wrong—Fang Yi would occasionally bring friends back to watch the games.
At first there were five or six, then three or four, and finally only one young man named Li Tingyi regularly visited.
Li Tingyi is one year younger than Gao Li. He is tall, handsome, and has an outgoing personality. He is also the owner of his own company. When Fang Yi is busy, he will help take care of the two children.
It's a good thing that my husband has good friends, especially since this friend is particularly generous to my two children, buying them all sorts of gifts during holidays.
Although Gao Li felt that Li Tingyi was inexplicably hostile towards her, she subconsciously felt that it was her own problem.
Until one time when she took her child out, she realized halfway there that she had forgotten her phone, so she went back home to get it and caught the two of them kissing on the sofa.
Gao Li's worldview has collapsed—her husband is gay, and she is a wife of a gay man who was tricked into marriage.
Suddenly, Fang Yihe's coldness after the birth of the child and Li Tingyi's inexplicable hostility towards him became plausible explanations.
After the breakdown, Gao Li filed for divorce.
Fang Yihe readily agreed, but the two sides disagreed on the custody of the two children.
Fang Yihe married her with the intention of having children. He demanded that Gao Li give up custody of the children on the grounds that Gao Li was unemployed and could not provide good material conditions for them.
Gao Li refused and filed a lawsuit against Fang Yihe in court.
The news of the divorce reached both the Fang and Gao families. Before the Fang family could even comment, Gao Li's parents jumped out and accused her of being shameful.
"Useless thing, can't even control a man!"
Is it something to be proud of to get a divorce because your husband is gay?
"Besides not liking you, has he ever mistreated you all these years? The house you live in, the car you drive—aren't they all his? If you get divorced, you'll have nothing left!"
