Chapter 34: Hypocrite
"Don't be angry anymore. It's not like they actually fired you, right? Getting angry isn't good for the baby when you're pregnant." Shu Pan, upon understanding the situation, felt a bit short of breath, especially when she realized that Su Yuan had also helped her in the past. She took a sip of juice, contemplating whether or not to tell Xiaomeng about this matter.
"What a hypocrite, a true villain, not even worth a thing." Ye Xiaomeng angrily expressed her feelings while continuing to eat. She picked up a fork and took a big bite of cake, then spoke to Shu Pan, "Luckily, you didn't end up with him. He's just a wolf in sheep's clothing. Looks decent on the surface, but he's worse than a pig or a dog. He even bullies a pregnant woman."
Shu Pan smiled helplessly, secretly thinking, "Well, he has no clue you're pregnant, does he?"
She watched Ye Xiaomeng without any rebuttal, refraining from exposing her friend's past dorm room conversations where she endlessly praised Su Yuan and Cheng Yang as the epitome of perfection at T University. They were with top-notch grades, striking looks, and impeccable character. She had exhausted nearly every adjective to describe them, painting an enchanting picture.
Perhaps in the past, Shu Pan would have never believed that Su Yuan possessed such manipulative tactics. He had always been refined and courteous. However, after six years, she learned a valuable lesson. Time changed everything, especially people. Those once intimately known now left only a sense of unfamiliarity upon reunion.
Six years were enough to turn a small innocent rabbit into a cunning wolf.
Ye Xiaomeng took a sip of water, swallowed her food, and cautiously asked, "Hey, how's it going between you and Gu Shaoting these days?"
Ye Xiaomeng felt that fate hadn't been kind to Shu Pan, delivering a series of blows. As a good friend, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken for her.
Shu Pan was taken aback by the question and replied, "It's still the same. He refuses to divorce, so we're just stuck in this situation." Her tone sounded nonchalant, but deep down, she felt the heaviness. The person she loved had become her enemy.
Ye Xiaomeng paused with her cake fork in mid-air, overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness. She couldn't do much to assist her friend, so all she could do was silently pray and hope that everything would turn out fine. Then, she resumed eating, devouring her second piece of cake.
Shu Pan rolled her eyes, feeling defeated and powerless in the face of Ye Xiaomeng's eating prowess.
"Xiaomeng, cakes are high in calories. Don't eat too much. You still have dinner tonight," Shu Pan advised, trying to intervene.
"It's alright. I can still eat two bowls of rice tonight. Ever since I got pregnant, I've been feeling hungry every day. Sometimes I can't sleep at night due to hunger, so I ask Cheng Yang to go out and buy food," Ye Xiaomeng nonchalantly replied. She didn't think she was eating excessively and believed that one person eating for two was normal.
As Shu Pan watched her friend's growing belly, she felt embarrassed. She poured herself a glass of water and took a big gulp before reminding Ye Xiaomeng, "You've gained weight now, and it's not easy to give birth or recover after delivery. Aren't you worried that Cheng Yang will lose his appetite seeing you like this?"
Shu Pan administered a strong dose of reality, knowing that Cheng Yang was what mattered most to her.
Ye Xiaomeng was momentarily stunned, suddenly realizing that she had been indulging herself lately. She used to have a healthy appetite, but it had intensified since becoming pregnant. Shu Pan had barely touched her cake, leaving Ye Xiaomeng to finish it all by herself.
"Am I really gaining a lot of weight? Do I look bloated now?" Ye Xiaomeng was alarmed by Shu Pan's words, realizing that she needed to exercise more restraint.
"Not yet, but be mindful of your diet," Shu Pan quickly reassured her. Glancing at the time, she realized they had been chatting for quite a while. Indeed, joyful moments passed by quickly.
