Chapter 440 - 134 Feuding, Burning Bridges_2
Aunt Li helplessly looked at Yun Shu.
Yun Shu let out a cold laugh, "Fine, everyone’s opposing me one after another."
But fortunately, she still had her grandson, the only one who wouldn’t oppose her.
The next day, Yun Shu was about to take Kang Jinse to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. Kang Jinse’s face stiffened, and then she smiled, "Mom, I just went yesterday, let’s not go again today."
"What about the checkup results?" Yun Shu asked with raised eyebrows.
Kang Jinse went back to her room and came out after a while, "I don’t know where I threw them, I can’t find them right now, but it’s no big deal, they said the baby is developing quite well."
Yun Shu wanted to say more, but at that moment Aunt Li came over with her cell phone. Yun Shu glanced at the phone number, narrowed her eyes, and got up to leave the dining room.
Kang Jinse heaved a sigh of relief, then became curious about who was calling that made Yun Shu look so nervous.
Not long after, Yun Shu, with her bag in a hurry, rushed out the door.
Now only Kang Jinse was left at home—oh, and Yun Shu’s old lover, too, but that person never left his room, and someone always delivered meals to him.
Out of boredom, Kang Jinse turned on the television and started watching. It just so happened to be a replay of Kang Jinxian’s program, and Kang Jinse specifically waited for Kang Jinxian’s appearance.
It was her first time watching Kang Jinxian sing, and she had to admit that her voice was truly captivating. No wonder fans and the media dubbed her the "Angel Singer." The way she stood on the stage with an aura of confidence and ease was incredibly eye-catching.
On one hand, Kang Jinse felt gratified, yet on the other, there was discomfort in the pit of her stomach. When had her previously timid and unremarkable sister become so outstanding?
So outstanding that she, the always proud older sister, felt a bit jealous.
Realizing her mindset, she couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. To be jealous of even her little sister was truly hopeless.
Aunt Li, who was peeling an orange for her, said, "Miss Ah Xian is getting prettier by the day. Her eyes and eyebrows look just like Miss Kang’s. Truly deserving to be sisters."
Kang Jinse frowned.
She had always been beautiful since childhood, known as a beauty throughout the neighboring villages. But Ah Xian was wrinkly and had small eyes when she was born—not considered pretty at all. Moreover, although she and Ah Xian were sisters, they did not share the same father. Jiang Chun first married her father, and then when she was eight years old, her father died in a car accident. The large sum of money from the compensation was squandered by relatives on her father’s side, and she and her widowed mother were kicked out. Later, they were taken in by a kind-hearted widower, which was Ah Xian’s father.
This man treated her and Jiang Chun well, loving her as if she were his own daughter, and she, deep down, thought of this man as her biological father.
However, when Ah Xian was two years old, the man was bitten by a stray dog, died suddenly of rabies, and after that, her mother never remarried and continued to live there.
Until one day, she discovered a secret. As a result, she had a big fight with her mother and left home to forge her own path in Jiangzhou. At first, she truly hated her mother, but later, after experiencing more of life, she understood her. It was the helplessness of being a woman, and what right did she have to blame her?
After all, Ah Xian was also a pitiful child.
How could she be jealous of her sister? If her sister was doing well, she too would benefit from the success. Really, she was even jealous of her sister’s success.
With these thoughts, she shook her head and laughed at herself, stood up, and went back to her room to rest.
Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She pulled out a few pieces of paper from the secret compartment in her bedside table, looked at the test results, and heaved a deep sigh, her worry apparent between her brows.
A secret can’t be hidden forever and will come to light sooner or later. What should she do?
Lying down again, filled with concerns, she eventually drifted off to a troubled sleep, feeling like she had forgotten something very important. What was it?
In her dream, she had just started her career and acted in a historical palace drama. She played a malicious concubine who sent a musk-infused sachet to a newly pregnant favorite concubine, which ended up causing a miscarriage. Of course, it was eventually traced back to her, and she was ordered by the Emperor to drink poisoned wine as punishment.
At the time, the props were real, including the actual musk sachet. After she had touched it, her assistant hurriedly told her to bathe and change as women mustn’t come into contact with such things which could affect pregnancy. She still remembered that scent vividly.
Kang Jinse suddenly woke up, startled. After a long moment of confusion, she finally realized and her gaze fell on the pillow she had been resting on.
