I took the pregnancy test results to find my mother-in-law: "Mom, this is given to me by Chen Xiao, do you know about this?"

I stared at my mother-in-law, trying to see any clues from her face.

My mother-in-law took the pregnancy test results, looked at them carefully, then slapped her thigh and laughed out loud:

"Oh, so Lin Min is already pregnant, that's great."

She didn't seem to be pretending, and my heart sank:

"Mom, are you saying that Chen Xiao..."

I couldn't continue.

My mother-in-law happily played with the pregnancy test results: "You can't blame Chen Xiao for this. After all, 'lack of filial piety has three consequences, with no descendants being the greatest'. As a man, it's normal for him to want a son."

"I've wanted you two to divorce a long time ago, but Chen Xiao has never been able to make up his mind. Now that Lin Min is pregnant, he finally mentioned divorce to you, and I can finally rest assured."

Anger, disappointment, grievance, embarrassment... various emotions surged within me for a moment.

Clutching onto the last strand of hope, I asked, "Mom, did you and Chen Xiao conspire together to play a joke on me?"

"Lin Man, are you still unwilling to face reality?"

My mother-in-law sneered, "Chen Xiao and Lin Min have been together for almost half a year. Don't tell me you've been kept in the dark all this time."

"I don't believe it, Chen Xiao wouldn't do this to me."

Although I said that, tears uncontrollably streamed down my face.

"Lin Man, if you think carefully, you'll realize that Chen Xiao's heart hasn't been with you for a long time. During this period, he often leaves early and returns late, his business trips have increased several times compared to usual, in fact, he's been meeting Lin Min."

My mother-in-law's words suddenly woke me up.

In the past few months, Chen Xiao has often been away from home.

Last month on my birthday, he said he had to go on a business trip out of town and couldn't be with me, so he ordered a cake for me online.

Now thinking back, compared to previous years when he carefully selected gifts and planned surprises for my birthday, this time was indeed lacking a lot.

"If you can't have children, then don't occupy the space. It's a good thing for both Chen Xiao and you to divorce early."

My mother-in-law happily went to share the "good news" with my father-in-law, holding the pregnancy test results, and before leaving, she reminded me:

"With such good news at home, don't forget to add a few more dishes tonight."
