Chapter 149 Infertility

The first snow of the winter fell in City A.

Snowflakes fluttered down, beautiful in their purest form yet tinged with a poignant chill.

As Jiang Ning drove, he admired the snowy scenery outside the window, feeling a mix of coldness and loneliness.

When she arrived at the Green Lake Villa, Lu Junyan had just arrived as well.

The two got out of the car at almost the same time and walked into the villa at the same time.

Neither of them spoke, nor did they even make eye contact.

They are like strangers.

Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun were both inside the villa.

Upon seeing that Jiang Ning had come with Lu Junyan, Lu Yexiong's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"What brings you here? Come in and have a seat!"

Jiang Ning could tell that Lu Yexiong was in a good mood.

This may be due to the recent surge in the stock price and market capitalization of the Lu Group.

A new maid was hired at the Green Lake Villa, and she poured a cup of hot cocoa only for Lu Junyan.

Lu Yexiong immediately gave Yang Liyun a wink.

Yang Liyun pouted, looking unwilling, but still instructed the servant to pour Jiang Ning a cup of the same hot cocoa.

Jiang Ning realized that Yang Liyun did not welcome her.

Ever since Jiang Ning started divorcing Lu Junyan, Yang Liyun's impression of Jiang Ning has plummeted.

Nowadays, Jiang Ning's own studio is thriving, and she has completely become the kind of woman who shows her face in public.

She felt that this kind of woman was really not suitable to continue being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

The Lu family is rich and powerful. Even if Jiang Ning opens his own studio, how much money can he make?

It would be better to stay at home, be a good wife and mother, and manage household chores.

What's more, Jiang Ning doesn't even call her and Lu Yexiong "Mom and Dad" anymore.

Such poor upbringing! If it weren't for Lu Yexiong's sake, she wouldn't have let Jiang Ning into the house today.

"Xiao Ning, you came with Jun Yan. Is it because you've thought things through about what I mentioned to you last time?"

As a businessman, Lu Yexiong had made it a habit to only discuss conditions in everything.

He went to his study and came out with a piece of paper in his hand.

Jiang Ning knew that this piece of paper was the agreement that Lu Yexiong had given her at the Jingxiang Hotel last time.

"Come on, write down whatever conditions you want. I, Lu Yexiong, keep my word."

Lu Yexiong handed the agreement to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning accepted the document, and then, in front of Lu Yexiong, Yang Liyun, and Lu Junyan, tore the agreement in half with a ripping sound.

The villa was completely silent.

Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun were both dumbfounded.

Only Lu Junyan, sitting on the sofa, nonchalantly drank his hot cocoa.

"Jiang Ning, what do you mean by this! Don't push your luck!"

Lu Yexiong was furious.

No matter how much he needs Jiang Ning's popularity, he is still an elder, and he is rich, powerful, and comes from a wealthy family.

How dare she, Jiang Ning...

Lu Yexiong's mouth twitched with anger.

Beside her, Yang Liyun stood with her hands on her hips, equally furious.

"You've gone too far! Do you think the Lu family cares about you? It's just that you're popular now and have some use. Do you really think you're a hot commodity?"

Jiang Ning was not annoyed even when scolded by Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun.

She spoke calmly:

"So I'm here today to tell you that I'm going to divorce Lu Junyan no matter what... and you'll definitely agree, since your Lu family can't possibly have a woman who can't have children as a daughter-in-law."

"What did you say?!"

Yang Liyun and Lu Yexiong were dumbfounded.

When Lu Junyan heard Jiang Ning's words, he raised his eyelids slightly, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Ning clenched his fists tightly in his coat pockets.

Originally, she really didn't want to tell anyone about it.

Because it makes her seem too tragic.

But her divorce from Lu Junyan really couldn't be delayed any longer.

If this drags on any longer, she doesn't know how she'll be used.

So Jiang Ning had no choice but to tell the truth.

"But...but weren't you pregnant before?" Yang Liyun and Lu Yexiong exchanged a glance, their eyes full of doubt.

It would have been better if this matter hadn't been brought up, because once it was, Jiang Ning couldn't help but look at Lu Junyan.

Jiang Ning's eyes were red.

Lu Junyan remained expressionless.

However, the hand gripping the cup handle was so tight that the nails dug into the flesh of the palm.

“Lu Junyan aborted that child himself… He also caused damage to my uterus, making me infertile forever…”

Clang!

At the villa's main entrance, the sound of something hard falling onto the mahogany floor drew the attention of everyone inside.

"grandfather!"

Lu Junyan jumped up from the sofa.

Jiang Ning never expected that Lu Lifeng would come to Cuihu Villa.

What I didn't expect was that it happened right when she said those words.

"Xiao Ning...you...is what you just said true?"

Lu Lifeng stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, and his whole body trembled.

"Was it Junyan who killed your child? He also... he also made it impossible for you to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Lifeng clutched his chest tightly.

"grandfather!"

Jiang Ning was the first to run over and help Lu Lifeng, who had fallen, and promptly found nitroglycerin tablets on Lu Lifeng's body, which Lu Lifeng then put under his tongue.

Meanwhile, Lu Junyan had already called 120 for emergency medical assistance.

Due to the snow, the ambulance took some time to arrive and took Lu Lifeng to the Cuihu Branch of the 701 Hospital, which was nearby.

Lu Lifeng's condition requires emergency coronary artery bypass surgery, which carries certain risks.

Lu Yexiong did not approve of simply finding a doctor from any branch hospital to perform the procedure.

Lu Lifeng is the pillar of their Lu family, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes.

"Didn't our country A have a particularly famous cardiologist before? What was his name...?"

"Wen Munian"

Jiang Ning's voice made the hospital corridor even quieter.

This was the first time she had spoken on her own initiative since Lu Lifeng was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Lu Yexiong looked at Jiang Ning, his hatred growing stronger.

If Jiang Ning hadn't been so talkative, Lu Lifeng wouldn't have suffered a heart attack and needed surgery.

"If anything happens to the old man..."

He strode towards Jiang Ning and slapped him across the face.

The slap never landed.

Lu Junyan appeared behind Lu Yexiong without anyone noticing and grabbed Lu Yexiong's raised wrist with one hand.

Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan's eyes met for a fleeting moment.

However, they quickly separated.

Lu Junyan's face was cold, and his eyes were even colder.

Lu Junyan released his grip, and Lu Yexiong lowered his arm. Lu Junyan then whispered:

"I'll contact Wen Munian. The doctor said the surgery must be performed within 10 hours..."

After saying that, he left to find a secluded place to make a phone call.

Lu Yexiong paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor.

Yang Liyun comforted Lu Yexiong from the side.

She wasn't being fake.

She was also worried about Lu Lifeng.

If Lu Lifeng dies, their Lu family business won't be as good as before.

This unexpected disaster made Yang Liyun even more displeased with Jiang Ning.

"What an ingrate, what a jinx! The old man treated you so well, and you know how to repay kindness with enmity."

Jiang Ning didn't reply.

She's definitely not in the mood right now.

Not long after, Lu Junyan returned, looking rather unwell.

"I've gotten in touch with Wen Munian. He's in Country C right now, and it'll only take him less than three hours to fly here..."

"That……"

Lu Yexiong's hope was rekindled.

"But he refused to come."

Upon hearing Lu Junyan's words, Lu Yexiong immediately became anxious.

"How much more money? How much would it take for him to come? Our Lu family will pay whatever it takes."

Lu Junyan shook his head with a sullen face.

"Wen Munian is not short of money."

At that moment, he noticed that Jiang Ning was not in the corridor.

Jiang Ning left at some point, and no one knows where he went.

Outside Building 3, at the corner of the wall.

Jiang Ning is on the phone.

The phone rang twice, then was answered.

Jiangning speaks out:

"Hello? Dr. Wen..."

"Call him cousin."
