Chapter 276 Life in Danger

Seeing the awkward, bitter smile on Jiang Ning's face, Bai Yichen realized that he had indeed guessed correctly.

He had just received his salary and wanted to buy something for Jiang Ning.

Just then, Jiang Ning invited him to dinner, so he brought the gift he had bought earlier.

The Hermes bag that Bai Yichen gave to Jiang Ning was a classic model with the letter H printed on it, and it wasn't as expensive as the limited edition that Lu Junyan gave her.

Bai Yichen himself had guessed it.

"This one I gave you is definitely not as valuable as the one Lu Junyan gave you, right?"

Sensing the jealousy in Bai Yichen's words, Jiang Ning immediately picked up the bag and put it on his shoulder.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

"A good-looking person looks good in any bag."

Bai Yichen's praise made Jiang Ning blush.

As she put the items from her old handbag into the new one, she said, "I gave the bag that Lu Junyan gave me to Xiao Ai as her performance bonus for this month."

Bai Yichen, sitting opposite him, stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Then he smiled and said, "Xiao Ai must be ecstatic, right?"

"She almost pinched her face until it was swollen before she dared to believe it was real."

"I can imagine..."

Bai Yichen noticed that Jiang Ning seemed to really love the bag he gave her, and compared that to Jiang Ning's attitude towards the bag Lu Junyan gave her, he felt a warm feeling spreading through his chest.

In the corner, Lu Junyan nearly crushed the glass cup in his hand.

He didn't expect Bai Yichen to also give Jiangning bags today.

It's the same brand as the one he gave me.

However, the treatment of the two bags was completely different.

The bag he gave her was clearly a limited edition, much more expensive than the one Bai Yichen gave her.

Jiang Ning, however, could casually give that bag to an employee.

And this gift from Bai Yichen...

Lu Junyan silently watched Jiang Ning happily carry the bag Bai Yichen had given him, his eyes filled with a desire to tear the bag to shreds.

"……fraud……"

Lu Junyan muttered to himself.

That lobby manager is a complete fraud!

Lu Junyan ordered two more bottles of vodka and drank them straight from the bottles. He had only drunk less than half of them when he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Mr. Lu, are you alright?"

The waiter recognized Lu Junyan and wanted to help him, but Lu Junyan pushed him away.

Lu Junyan forced himself to stand up, but his tall body swayed unsteadily.

He wasn't drunk.

He has a stomachache.

Recently, Lu Junyan's stomach condition has been getting worse and worse.

But tonight's pain has exceeded what he can usually tolerate.

Lu Junyan was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat and his face was deathly pale.

It felt like a fire had been set on his stomach, and the raging flames started burning from his stomach and burned away all his internal organs.

The flames shot up his esophagus, as if he had just drunk concentrated sulfuric acid instead of wine.

"Mr. Lu!"

Just as Lu Junyan coughed up a mouthful of blood, he was caught by a pair of hands before he fainted.

He also spat blood all over the other person.

The snow-white satin dress was stained with a large patch of bright red blood, and Lu Junyan's eyes widened.

He didn't know if the excruciating pain was causing him to hallucinate, or if there was some other reason.

He actually saw Jiang Ning.

However, Jiang Ning's facial features were not clear, just as Lu Junyan's mind was not clear either.

Jiang Ning never expected to run into Lu Junyan here, and even less expected that Lu Junyan would drink alone until he vomited blood.

At this moment, Lu Junyan, whom she was supporting, reeked of alcohol and had a strong smell of blood.

These are symptoms of stomach bleeding caused by drinking alcohol. If Lu Junyan is not taken to the hospital in time, his life may be in danger.

Jiang Ning wanted to take out his phone to call an ambulance.

Although she could drive Lu Junyan to the hospital, the ambulance had some emergency equipment that should be able to help him.

"Don't go..."

Lu Junyan gripped her wrist tightly, and Jiang Ning gritted her teeth in pain.

She knew Lu Junyan didn't do it on purpose.

It's like someone desperately grasping at a straw in a moment of crisis.

Lu Junyan's eyes were completely unfocused, and Jiang Ning couldn't even be sure if Lu Junyan had seen who she was.

"Don't go..."

Lu Junyan had great strength in his hands, but his voice was very weak, barely a whisper.

His face was alarmingly pale, and large beads of cold sweat dripped down his face.

"Bai Yichen, please help me out."

It wasn't until Jiang Ning turned and called him that Bai Yichen stepped forward to help support the swaying Lu Junyan.

Just now, when Lu Junyan was about to faint, Bai Yichen tried to stop Jiang Ning.

But his outstretched hand failed to hold Jiang Ning.

He watched helplessly as Jiang Ning caught Lu Junyan in time.

Bai Yichen wanted to believe Jiang Ning.

He wanted to believe that Jiang Ning no longer loved Lu Junyan.

He could also tell that Lu Junyan might be in mortal danger.

Whether it's her current husband, ex-husband, or even a stranger, Jiang Ning would naturally not ignore someone vomiting blood like that in public.

Because Jiang Ning is such a kind person.

However, reason led Bai Yichen to understand Jiang Ning and praise her character.

But emotionally, he hoped that Jiang Ning would stand by and watch coldly when Lu Junyan vomited blood and collapsed.

Even if Lu Junyan dies from acute gastric bleeding...

Bai Yichen knew that thinking like this was too cold-blooded.

But he couldn't control himself.

Seeing how worried Jiang Ning was about Lu Junyan, he couldn't remain indifferent.

Bai Yichen's heart was in turmoil.

However, his face remained calm.

Following Jiang Ning's instructions, he helped Lu Junyan into his car.

"I will take him to the hospital."

Let's go together!

Jiang Ning got into the passenger seat.

Bai Yichen opened his mouth, gasped, but ultimately remained silent.

"If surgery is required, a family member will need to sign the consent form, and I will have to go there then."

Jiang Ning gave Bai Yichen a reason to come along while he was fastening his seatbelt.

She could tell that Bai Yichen was very unhappy, even though he hid it very well.

Bai Yichen's tense facial muscles relaxed slightly.

He whispered "I'm sorry" and then started the car.

The two took Lu Junyan to the nearest hospital.

When Lu Junyan woke up, he was surprised to see the person sitting by his bedside.

How did you get here?

"Uncle Lu called me and said you were hospitalized with a stomach hemorrhage, so he asked me to come and see you."

Lin Wanrong casually picked up a water glass and handed it to Lu Junyan.

"Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"

Before Lu Junyan could reach out, the door to the ward was pushed open.

"The doctor said that I cannot eat or drink for 24-48 hours after the surgery."

Jiang Ning walked in and met Lin Wanrong's gaze.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Of all those present, only the two of them truly knew the truth—

Who is the other party, and who am I?

Lin Wanrong grinned, took the water glass back, and took a sip.

"Sorry, I forgot."

When Lu Junyan, lying in his hospital bed, saw Jiang Ning, his haggard face seemed to be illuminated by firelight.

It seems that the person who caught him in time really was Jiang Ning.

However, Lu Junyan's expression quickly darkened again.

Because Jiang Ning didn't come in alone.
