Chapter 44 An Ning, do you regret it?
Tears suddenly welled up and blurred my vision.
An Ning clutched her aching heart tightly and opened her mouth, "Xiyan..."
As soon as the once affectionate name came out of her mouth, An Ning burst into tears.
Her voice trembled, and she cried unbearably, "I beg you... help me..."
"peaceful."
The man's cold voice carried a hint of forbearance, "Is this how you approach someone when asking for help? You should act like you're asking for help."
An Ning was slightly startled, and the next second she heard him clearly and concisely give an address.
"Come here, let me see how sincere you are."
......
After drinking half of the wine in the bottle, Lu Xiyan sat on the sofa holding the wine glass, looking up and chuckling.
Western Banquet?
Oh!
An Ning really knew what she was best at.
In the past, as long as she acted coquettishly and called him "Xi Yan" affectionately, he would be unable to resist and would agree to everything she said.
He suddenly clenched the wine glass tightly, and his knuckles turned white.
But An Ning, why do you think I will fall for your tricks?
The clock on the wall ticked slowly for half an hour.
Butler Li Quan's internal line rang, "Master, Miss An... Miss An is outside the gate and wants to see you."
Lu Xiyan said coldly, "Let her wait."
......
A thin figure stood outside the gate of the luxurious villa mansion.
The woman was wearing a plain white long dress and a light blue thin knitted outer layer. A few strands of hair hanging by her ears outlined her fair and beautiful face.
Through a big door, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
It was Li Quan, the housekeeper of Lu Xiyan’s father.
She had met him several times before and he was a very kind person.
"Uncle Quan."
She greeted softly.
"Miss An." Li Quan stood at the door. "Long time no see."
An Ning lowered her eyes slightly, "Xi... Is Mr. Lu here?"
The young master didn't say whether he would see her or not, so Li Quan could only convey it tactfully, "The young master said, please wait a moment."
An Ning nodded slightly.
Li Quan looked at her thin face, with red lips, white teeth and skin as white as cream. She was as young and beautiful as she was four years ago, and her temperament was gentle. She didn't look like she came from a poor family.
If she had not been so greedy back then, she might have become a real family with the young master.
Their young master would not have become what he is today.
It’s a pity that there is no if in everything.
Li Quan sighed lightly and turned to go into the villa.
An Ning looked up at the huge villa, which was so large that it was beyond her sight.
It turned out that he had moved away from where he used to live.
Yes, he has taken over the family business now, so he probably won't live in his previous private residence anymore.
He should be living with his parents now.
An Ning stood outside the gate, waiting quietly.
She wasn't sure when Lu Xiyan would meet him, or whether his sincerity depended on whether she was willing to wait.
She turned on the phone in her hand and checked the time. Fifteen minutes had passed.
Lu Xiyan hasn't come out yet.
......
On the open-air balcony on the second floor, the tall figure of a man was hidden in the night.
He was high and mighty, extremely proud and arrogant, looking down with indifferent eyes at the white figure at the door downstairs.
The pale white moonlight sprinkled on her, hazy and outstandingly beautiful.
She turned on her cell phone, took a look at it, and then turned it off. The man saw her tiny movements and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
So soon, you don’t have the patience to wait?
Compared to the time he had been waiting, this was just a short time!
......
Forty minutes.
An Ning finally couldn't wait any longer and was ready to ring the doorbell again.
The moment she raised her hand, the lights on the second floor of the villa suddenly came on.
She suddenly looked up and the man's tall figure came into her sight.
He stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking at her coldly.
The light from the terrace shone on him, outlining his cool and handsome face.
An Ning clenched her hands at her sides, suppressing the aching pain in her chest. She stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar handsome face, "Mr. Lu, could you please ask the hospital to admit my mother for treatment?"
Her voice was very clear in the silent night.
The man looked at her stubborn face and said in a cold voice, "Miss An, why do you think I will help you if you ask me to?"
An Ning looked at his cold face, as if a human life was not worth mentioning in front of him.
She endured it when they told her there were no beds and kicked the patient out.
She endured the extra 100,000 yuan in surgery fees due to a changed surgeon.
But now, in the huge city of Jinghai, there is not a single hospital that will admit her mother.
Lu Xiyan was going to watch her mother die!
"Then how can Mr. Lu let my mother live? She is not only my mother, she is also a living life!"
An Ning gripped the gate's bars with both hands, tears welling in her eyes as she stared through the tightly closed door. "My mother's condition is very serious now, and the cancer cells are spreading rapidly. If no hospital admits her, she won't survive more than a few days! I beg Mr. Lu to save her!"
"life?"
Lu Xiyan seemed to have heard something funny and sneered, "Yes, your mother's life is life, but other people's lives are not lives."
An Ning looked at him with tears in her eyes, not knowing what he meant.
She watched the man walk down the spiral staircase on the terrace, step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on her heart.
His figure walked towards her, getting closer and closer, until he stopped not far from her.
Through a tightly closed door, the man looked at her with disdain in his eyes, "An Ning, you should also taste the pain of losing your loved ones."
Every word he spoke was like a sharp blade piercing An Ning's heart.
An Ning desperately tried to hold back the pain in her heart and begged him, "Lu Xiyan, I beg you to save my mother! I really have no other choice. I know you hate me, and you can do whatever you want to me. I beg you to let my mother go to the hospital."
"Lu Xiyan..." An Ning grabbed the iron gate and looked at the man on the other side, tears streaming down her face, "I beg you..."
She had to admit that what Lu Xiyan could do with just one word was something she would never be able to accomplish in her entire life.
That's how far the distance between them is.
One is in the sky, the other is in the mud.
She was crying with tears all over her face, the eyes that he had once kissed were filled with tears, and her thin shoulders were trembling slightly.
The man's chest heaved violently, his joints were almost trembling with the force, and his deep eyes were stained with a dark red.
"An Ning." He glared at her and asked coldly, "How does it feel to ask for help?"
An Ning looked at him in surprise.
"Is it uncomfortable?"
Lu Xiyan's eyes were bloodshot. "Have you forgotten that I begged you the same way back then?"
"But what about you!" He suddenly asked loudly, pointing his finger at An Ning, "You left without even looking back! Why didn't you think at that time that you would need my help one day?"
He took a step forward, stared into An Ning's tearful eyes, and asked her, "An Ning, do you regret it?"
Do you regret abandoning him and divorcing him so decisively?
An Ning felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze, and tears fell to the ground.
Do you regret it?
An Ning also asked herself the same question.
How can I not regret it?
I've regretted it every day and night in the four years since I left him.
But what can we do?
"Lu Xiyan." She said with difficulty, "As long as you are willing to save my mother, you can do whatever you want to me."
When she looked away, the man felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He turned his head away, and the tears he had suppressed fell, which he immediately wiped away.
The next second, the tightly closed door slowly opened.
Before An Ning could react, the man grabbed her wrist and dragged her inside.
