Chapter 605 Falling into the Abyss at the Happiest Moment

Lu Ning suddenly became a little curious.

She said, "So what did he say?"

"He said he had a girl he liked, and I was really happy for him at that time, but I didn't expect that girl to be you."

Lu Ning was stunned: "Did he tell you at that time?"

"Yes, he knew that his mother and I would object, but he still did it."

Mrs. Ji held Lu Ning's hand and said, "When I saw you in the hospital later, I knew you were a good child, but I had to be the bad guy and separate you two. Did you feel sad at that time?"

"It was indeed very sad. At the time, I didn't know the truth about your separation. I just thought you did it because of the difference in status between our two families."

Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "Although family background is also important, as long as it's the girl he likes, how could I object?"

Mrs. Ji took down a flower and placed it in Lu Ning's hand: "This is for you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you and Ah Qian in the future."

"Thank you, Grandma. I love it."

"You like this better than the expensive gift from last night, right?"

Lu Ning suddenly felt a little embarrassed because the old lady saw through her.

"Don't worry, little Lu Ning. Don't feel any psychological burden. This is a sincere gift from us. Because our family is quite wealthy, the gift is a bit more expensive, but the intention is the same."

Lu Ning nodded: "I understand."

"Then let me introduce these flowers to you."

Lu Ning accompanied Old Lady Ji in tending the garden. She felt time passing slowly and gently, making her feel that everything had meaning.

It was soon noon, and Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "Little Lu Ning, are you bored?"

"No, I think it's good. This kind of life is good."

Lu Ning looked at Mrs. Ji and said, "It makes me feel that everything in life is meaningful."

"Well, you've been through so much on your own. It's been hard. Your parents will definitely be very happy when they know."

In the afternoon, Lu Ning had lunch with Mrs. Ji in the garden. Everything was very quiet, with only the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Mrs. Ji suddenly looked at the housekeeper and said, "Why hasn't my daughter-in-law come back yet? Will it take a long time to get the information from the hospital?"

Lu Ning's expression changed instantly.

Because she knew that Mrs. Ji's treatment process was very painful.

The housekeeper said, "I'm not very clear about this. Why don't we call the hospital and ask?"

Lu Ning said, "Usually, you'll rest for a while after treatment. You'll be very tired."

Old Mrs. Ji nodded: "That's right, it would be good for her to rest in the hospital for a while before coming back."

Lu Ning's mood suddenly became bad.

Mrs. Ji looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little worried about her. After all, treatment is not an easy process."

"Yes, but you don't have to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. It was my daughter-in-law who trusted the wrong person, and this is the path she wants to take."

Lu Ning lowered her head. Although she knew it, she still couldn't let it go.

But Lu Xicheng promised to bring a new treatment formula within a month, so Mrs. Ji's suffering will soon be over.

Mrs. Ji patted her hands and said, "Let's go have afternoon tea."

Lu Ning was about to agree when her cell phone rang.

She took a look and quickly answered: "Team Leader, what's going on?"

"There's a problem with the software we were testing earlier. I'm afraid we can't fix it. We need you to come take a look."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After Lu Ning hung up the phone, she looked at Mrs. Ji. Before she could say anything, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. You can have afternoon tea later. We have plenty of time."

Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Then I'll go first, grandma."

"I'll ask the driver to take you."

Mrs. Ji looked at Lu Ning's back, and the housekeeper came over: "You like her very much."

"Well, it's not easy for her, but she's also very capable."

Lu Ning went directly to Maple Leaf Company to work.

She and her team members have been checking data and debugging errors.

By the time Lu Ning came to her senses, it was dark outside.

Lu Ning stretched and glanced at the time. It was indeed a little late.

She took the phone and saw that Ji Chiqian had called her and sent her a WeChat message.

Lu Ning called back immediately: "I was too busy working overtime at the company and didn't see the message."

"I know."

After hearing the voice, Lu Ning turned around and saw Ji Chiqian.

She put down her phone: "Why are you here?"

"Come and wait for you to get off work."

Ji Chiqian walked up to Lu Ning and said, "Grandma and my mom both told me to pick you up after get off work before I go home."

Lu Ning heard something else. She turned around and looked at her colleagues, only to find that everyone was lowering their heads and pretending to be busy.

The work is almost finished now.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "Then, let's go."

Ji Chiqian took Lu Ning's hand and glanced at the people in the office: "I prepared sushi for everyone as a midnight snack. Thank you for your hard work."

Everyone cheered immediately.

Lu Ning quickly pulled Ji Chiqian away.

She quickly said, "What are you doing?"

"I originally prepared this as a midnight snack for you, but you would be embarrassed if I only gave it to you, so I prepared one for everyone."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "You're so thoughtful."

Ji Chiqian scratched her nose: "I understand you."

The two got in the car together, and Ji Chiqian handed her a piece of sushi: "Eat some first, and have something hot when you get home."

"This is enough. Eating too much at night will make you fat."

"No, grandma specifically asked me to prepare a midnight snack for you, so please eat at least a few bites."

Lu Ning smiled somewhat helplessly: "Grandma is also very good to me."

"Well, you should, because you deserve it."

Lu Ning leaned on his shoulder: "Aren't you busy today?"

"Today was fine. Grandma told me to work moderately and asked me to pick you up from get off work. So I ended up in the office here and working overtime with you."

Lu Ning couldn't help laughing: "Grandma, you didn't expect that I was the one who worked overtime the longest, right?"

She sat in the warm car, looking at the sky outside the window.

She looked back at Ji Chiqian: "Now is the happiest time of my life."

"What are you talking about? Every day from now on will be happier than now."

Lu Ning nodded. Yes, that must be the case.

When Lu Ning woke up the next morning, she found Ji Chiqian running to the balcony to answer the phone, and his expression seemed a little serious.

Lu Ning watched him walk in: "Isn't it cold outside? Why did you go outside to answer the phone? Are you afraid that I might know something? Who is calling?"

Ji Chiqian walked up to Lu Ning and hesitated for a moment: "Don't be anxious."

"What happened?"

Lu Ning was curious: "Could it be that something happened with Mo Shiyi? Or has your Bai Yueguang returned?"

Ji Chiqian held Lu Ning's hand and said, "Chen Yu was in a car accident last night and is still in the emergency room."

Lu Ning pulled her hand back abruptly.

Even her heart seemed to lose consciousness in an instant.
