Chapter 3 There will be no more children.

Jiang Ning stayed in the hospital for a month and had dreams every night.

In her dream, Lu Junyan visited her in the hospital, staying by her bedside day and night, smiling as he listened to the sounds of the baby in her belly.

Every time Jiang Ning woke up, tears streamed down her face.

child……

That's all.

Lu Junyan never visited her even once.

Lu Junyan said he was on a business trip to the United States, but he did send his assistant, Xiao Zhang, to deliver flowers to her twice, both times pink roses, and he also settled her medical bills.

Several times, Jiang Ning wanted to give the flowers to the nurse, but he couldn't bring himself to say it, preferring to sneeze every day instead.

Jiang Ning was only two months pregnant and didn't feel much during the abortion procedure, but touching her belly from time to time became a habit.

The thought of the brief life that once existed inside her brought tears to her eyes.

This is her first child.

They were the biological children of her and the man she had loved for ten years.

Just like that, it's gone...

Jiang Ning spent her nights in tears, and her recovery wasn't going well. However, she couldn't stay in the hospital indefinitely; the hospital required her to vacate her room to accommodate new patients.

In the empty hospital room, Jiang Ning was preparing to pack her things to leave the hospital when a stranger suddenly arrived.

This person had delicate features, exquisite makeup, and wore a Barbie pink fleece halter-neck bodycon dress with a dazzling necklace around her neck.

Jiang Ning recognized the necklace; it was the same high-end brand FY's globally limited pink diamond necklace that Yuan Pei had shown off on her WeChat Moments.

"Hello, my name is Chu Qingxue, and I am Lu Junyan's high school classmate."

The other party introduced himself first, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but ponder the name.

Chu Qingxue... The first letters of her name in pinyin are CQX.

There's no escaping it.

Seeing Chu Qingxue extend her hand to her, Jiang Ning politely shook it back.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Ning, and I am Lu Junyan's wife. You can call me Mrs. Lu."

Chu Qingxue's smile froze.

However, it's clear she's seen a lot in life; her expression quickly returned to normal.

"I've come here today to apologize to you."

Chu Qingxue lowered her eyes, and her pitiful expression did indeed evoke some sympathy.

“I didn’t know you went to the hospital that day because you were pregnant. If I had known, I would never have let Junyan accompany me to the FY press conference… And I was drunk that night. It’s all Yuan Pei’s fault for insisting on calling Junyan. I really didn’t expect Junyan to come pick me up… As a result, you miscarried… It’s all my fault…”

Chu Qingxue looked extremely remorseful as she handed the fruit basket to Jiang Ning.

"This is my apology... You must accept it, otherwise I will feel bad."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh at Chu Qingxue's realistic acting, saying, "Why can't I accept a fruit basket worth five hundred yuan? It's not like you're giving me your necklace as an apology."

Chu Qingxue looked embarrassed and cleared her throat. "I heard you were discharged from the hospital today?"

"right."

“But I suggest you rest in the hospital for a while longer… because seeing you will remind Junyan of the child he couldn’t save, and it will make him sad and upset. He’s been in a bad mood these past few days while you’ve been hospitalized, and I’ve been keeping him company to cheer him up. We went on a trip abroad, went out to sea on a yacht to go fishing, and watched the sunrise and sunset…”

Seeing Chu Qingxue's blissful expression, Jiang Ning didn't care whether her words were true or exaggerated.

"Yes, my husband is a good person, he values ​​his friends, and he always takes good care of his high school classmates. He takes them out to sea on a yacht every week. He also once gave my best friend a diamond necklace worth ten million!"

Although Jiang Ning doesn't like lying, if lying makes a scheming mistress unhappy, she doesn't mind saying a few more words.

Chu Qingxue clenched her fist. "Since you're so generous, I'm relieved..."

After saying that, she turned to leave, but when she reached the door of the ward, she turned back and said, "By the way, Junyan can't pick you up from the hospital because he's exhausted and is catching up on sleep at my house right now."

After saying this, Chu Qingxue finally disappeared from Jiang Ning's sight.

Like a deflated balloon, Jiang Ning felt no anger, only confusion.

She asked Xiao Zhang and learned that Lu Junyan was at the company at the moment.

In other words, Chu Qingxue lied.

Jiang Ning didn't believe the green tea mistress's one-sided story; she wanted to find Lu Junyan and get to the bottom of things.

Before leaving the hospital, she went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to get some Chinese medicine.

Lu Junyan has a stomach ailment, and her mother-in-law doesn't like Western medicine, so she has always been prescribed traditional Chinese medicine, which Jiang Ning personally brews. Jiang Ning knows the dosage and cooking time of every ingredient by heart.

The traditional Chinese medicine at home is almost finished. If it weren't for all the trouble that has happened recently, Jiang Ning would have replenished the medicine long ago.

Carrying a large bag of traditional Chinese medicine, Jiang Ning arrived at the Lu Group.

The receptionist recognized her because she had delivered meals to Lu Junyan before, but that time the receptionist thought she was a nanny.

“Ms. Jiang, Mr. Lu is currently meeting with a guest. You can give the medicine to Assistant Zhang; he is in his office.”

"good."

Jiang Ning didn't want to emphasize to the receptionist that she was not "Miss Jiang" but "Mrs. Lu".

After taking the elevator to the top floor, Jiang Ning naturally didn't go to find Xiao Zhang, but instead arrived at the entrance of the general manager's office.

The frosted glass door wasn't closed tightly, and through the crack, Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan and Yuan Pei standing in the office.

"Brother Lu, you still say you can't let go of your wife, but you can even heartlessly kill your own child..."

Jiang Ning, who was about to knock on the door, froze at the entrance.

"It has nothing to do with Qingxue..."

"Whether she returns to China or not, I will never have a child with Jiang Ning."

"Why?"

“A person’s energy is limited. She will change after having a child. Besides, right now it’s just that Grandpa values ​​her and my mother approves. After the baby is born, it will be much more complicated.” Lu Junyan took a leisurely puff of his cigarette, and his charming smile made Jiang Ning feel irritated for the first time.

"Moreover... I knew she was pregnant, so I deliberately acted very roughly, damaging her uterus. The doctor said she will never be able to have children again."

The voice was so calm it could be described as cold, as if it were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Ning, on the other side of the door, was already drenched in cold sweat.

"Brother Lu, if you treat that old hag so cruelly, who will carry on the Lu family line in the future? It will still have to be your sister-in-law!"

Lu Junyan neither confirmed nor denied Yuan Pei's hypothesis.

After finishing his cigarette and finishing his conversation with Yuan Pei, Lu Junyan noticed something that Yuan Pei hadn't noticed as he walked out of the office.

That was a bag of Chinese medicine.

Cixiang Nursing Home.

Jiang Ning fled here in a panic.

She stood outside Lu Junyan's office, inside Lu Junyan's company, unable to stay a moment longer.

She felt nauseous.

Every word that came out of Lu Junyan's mouth made her feel nauseous and want to vomit.

So this was the man she had loved for ten years.

He pursued her and married her in the first place to get revenge on other women.

Now he's killing their child with his own hands, all for another woman.

Ten years of love, three years of marriage, it's all a fucking joke!

Jiang Ning quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked into the nursing home.

Since she married Lu Junyan, her mother has been transferred from the hospital to this place.

Her mother was already in poor health, and then a global pandemic caused her to develop Alzheimer's disease.

Even though she no longer knows her, there are some things she still needs to say to her mother.

Her mother's greatest wish was for her to have a happy marriage.

So Jiang Ning wanted to tell her mother—

She is an unfilial daughter.

In the evening, Jiang Ning left the nursing home and went to a nearby law firm.

As dusk fell, the city lights came on, and traffic bustled.

When Lu Junyan returned home, he found that the lights were off.

He turned on the light, which illuminated the Chinese medicine and a bunch of pink roses in his hand.

The large, empty house was devoid of hot, fragrant meals.

There was no Jiangning either.
