The mistress immediately exploded. He grabbed a fruit knife and rushed forward, stabbing the fourth mistress multiple times without saying a word, seriously injuring her.

At this point, Liu Yichen couldn't help but marvel: "When the police went to the hospital to interrogate her, they initially thought it was the wife who stabbed the mistress. But when they asked the woman, they found out that the relationship was so complicated. Even the experienced police officers had never seen such a scene before."

"I heard that she called his wife on the spot, and his real husband is probably on the plane back now. There will probably be more trouble to come."

Lu Renxin's mouth dropped open in astonishment, his jaw almost dislocating: "Wow...you've really got some fancy moves!"

"I've only ever seen this kind of plot in female-oriented novels about family feuds and power struggles. How could a simple and innocent young person like me have ever seen such a grand scene? Being too honest really limits my imagination."

After a moment of reflection and digesting the previous gossip, the two were about to get back to work.

But then Jiang Zhaoning coughed twice, and said tentatively, drawing out her words, "Actually, I also have some gossip here, fresh off the press this morning."

"Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense!" Liu Yichen couldn't hold back any longer. He was naturally very curious and couldn't stand this kind of way of leaving things unsaid and piquing Jiang Zhaoning's interest. He urged her to tell him quickly.

Lu Renxin nodded in agreement, indicating that he also wanted to hear.

Jiang Zhaoning then cleared her throat and began to tell the story vividly.

Her voice was clear and infectious as she began to speak: "The hospital has allocated talent apartments, and I am roommates with another girl. We share a suite."

Lu Renxin knew about the talent apartment and heard that the conditions were very good, with two people sharing a suite, a two-bedroom, one-living room layout.

But he didn't move in. No matter how good the conditions were, it couldn't compare to home. Besides, his home was so close, just a short ride away on an electric scooter, that there was really no need to apply for an apartment.

"My roommate works in obstetrics and gynecology. This morning she saw a couple. The woman was pregnant, and they seemed to have a good relationship. The man was carrying her bag and running around taking care of her. This is a common scene in their department, so there's nothing special about it."

There was nothing particularly special about it. Lu Renxin had been to the gynecology department during his rotations, and the obstetrics department was right next door. He had seen quite a few men and women coming and going.

Actually, gynecology and obstetrics are two separate departments. Gynecology does not admit pregnant women; it only admits non-pregnant female patients. Obstetrics, on the other hand, only treats pregnant women.

There was a time when a pregnant woman registered for a gynecology appointment, and the doctor immediately asked her if she wanted to have an abortion.

This made the pregnant woman very angry, and she berated her for lacking medical ethics.

When the doctor finally understood that she wanted to keep the baby, he told her helplessly that this was the gynecology department and that all the patients there did not want children. If she wanted to keep the baby, she had to go to the obstetrics department.

The patient then realized what had happened and apologized to the doctor repeatedly.

"My roommate was about to start asking questions, but before she could even ask two questions, the pregnant woman said she was thirsty and asked her husband to go downstairs to the supermarket to buy her a bottle of water."

"Her husband took out a thermos from his backpack, said he brought water today, unscrewed the cap and brought the mouth of the thermos to her lips."

"But—" Jiang Zhaoning gasped for breath, "she slammed the thermos away, got angry on the spot, said it was too hot, questioned him if he wanted to burn himself to death, and demanded that he go downstairs immediately to buy ice water to dilute it with water."

The man apologized repeatedly, but he couldn't refuse the pregnant woman, so he had to go downstairs to buy water.

"But no sooner had he left the consultation room than the pregnant woman pulled out an ultrasound report and handed it to my roommate. My roommate looked at it and saw that it clearly stated that she was 17 weeks pregnant."

Seventeen weeks, more than four months, Lu Renxin silently calculated in his mind.

"When she first came in, her husband kept emphasizing that his wife was more than three months pregnant, and my roommate's heart sank at that moment."

Liu Yichen interrupted Jiang Zhaoning's narration and raised an objection:

"Hmm, could it be that they got the date wrong? Or maybe they don't know how to calculate the pregnancy date?"

He stroked his chin and offered a relatively reasonable guess.

"My classmate thought so too, thinking that maybe they hadn't calculated the time correctly."

Jiang Zhaoning tried hard to recall her roommate's description of lunch.

"But here's the important part: as soon as her husband came back, the pregnant woman hurriedly packed up the forms and, without waiting for my roommate to explain things to her, forcibly dragged her husband out of the consultation room."

Jiang Zhaoning lowered her voice and imitated her roommate's tone as she continued, "Only when she was the only one left in the examination room did she become a different person and honestly report her true number of months."

"She even threatened my roommate, telling her to keep her mouth shut, or she would report her for leaking patient privacy if she let slip her month of pregnancy."

"Good heavens," Liu Yichen couldn't help but click his tongue, "They're afraid of being exposed. I wonder which unlucky guy got to wear such a big green hat."

Jiang Zhaoning continued:

"That girl had some very distinct characteristics. My roommate said that when she glared at someone, it was like she was cutting flesh with a knife, and she had a mean and unapproachable vibe. Her name had a color in it, something like Little Red, Little Blue, or Little Green, I can't remember exactly."

"Moreover," Jiang Zhaoning paused for a moment, "the two of them were loudly discussing at the door before entering the examination room how many grams of gold bracelet they would buy to reward her, the expectant mother, after the examination."

"It's a pity this gift wasn't given to the right person."

The more Lu Renxin listened, the more familiar it sounded. This... wasn't this Li Xiaofeng and Xia Xiaohong?

The distinctive feature of her eyes, her name is Xiaohong, and she said she wanted to buy a gold bracelet to soothe her aching hands...

So he quickly asked, "Did your roommate mention the pregnant woman's name? Is it Xiaohong?"

"Yes, yes, now that you mention it, I remember. Her name is indeed Xiao Hong. How did you know?" Jiang Zhaoning's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Renxin didn't answer her question, shocked to learn that it was Li Xiaofeng.

He has Li Xiaofeng's WeChat account, and Li Xiaofeng clearly saw a rant posted on his Moments more than four months ago.

The gist of it is that he will be away on a business trip for about a month and will not be at home, so he will not be able to spend time with his family.

I also took photos of the business trip location and posted them on my WeChat Moments. According to the map, it was about 400 to 500 kilometers away from my home.

He's not the Monkey King, who can travel 108,000 li in a single somersault and get home in no time. There's no possibility that he'll run back in the middle of the night and come back the next morning.

In other words, if it really is 17 weeks, it is definitely not his child.

Even though the two families were enemies, out of a man's sympathy and youthful affection, he still shed a tear for Li Xiaofeng. So cuckolded, so incredibly cuckolded.

However, all of this is just speculation; there is no concrete evidence, and we don't know who the child's father is.

All I can say is that I hope he will behave himself and that one day he will find out that the child is not his.

As for whether Lu Renxin will leak information?

He'd have to be crazy to get involved in their family's affairs. Given Li Xiaofeng's behavior, even if Lu Renxin were to tell him out of pity, it's uncertain whether he would believe it or not.

Even if he believed it, knowing he was being cuckolded, Li Xiaofeng would definitely get a divorce.

But after the divorce, she might not thank him; instead, she might resent him for ruining a perfectly good family and for knowing and exposing such unsavory things.

Why bother being disliked? As a doctor, all he can do is keep his patients' secrets.

But this matter is like a landmine; it will explode someday, though we don't know when or how.
