After the whole story was told, the corridor fell into silence. After a long time, Lu An Ning didn't know what to say.
"I'm glad everyone is okay."
"Maybe, this is all my own speculation. Maybe, the facts are not like this."
Otherwise, it sounds pretty cruel.
"If that's the case, you should be thankful that you've escaped from that family and don't have to be afraid anymore. Don't overthink it, even if the Lu family is having a hard time recovering."
Lu Anning wanted to go to the bathroom and asked Tang Jingyuan to wait for him for a while.
When Tang Jingyuan returned to the ward, Lu Yunxi had already opened her eyes and was looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Tang Jingyuan sat down on a chair beside him, with no intention of talking to Lu Yunxi. Lu Yunxi just stared at him, her mind full of what happened tonight, and all the past events.
Her mother actually sent her to another man's bed just to solve the Lu family's current crisis. Until now, she still couldn't believe it.
Just watching, Lu Yunxi couldn't help but shed tears. She felt sad, upset, and unwilling to give up.
What a great man this is!
But why did Lu An Ning encounter all the good things? She was able to grow up in a favorable environment and become so outstanding. She was able to easily marry Mr. Pei San and be recognized by everyone.
Why can Lu Anning have smooth sailing!
She just wanted to live a good life, but her biological mother sent her to the bed of a man in his fifties, and even said that it was not her first time, so she could just sleep with him. If they didn't tell anyone, no one else would find out.
How ironic!
At this moment, Lu Yunxi didn't know what the family affection she had always wanted to fight for was. Her gentle and loving mother only had her in her heart.
In order to achieve the goal, even one's own daughter can be sacrificed. She was born thinking that she and Lu An Ning were different.
Lu Yunxi suddenly smiled at Tang Jingyuan: "Third Master, why don't you ask me what happened to me tonight?"
She maintained her last bit of pride, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her red eye sockets were still stained with mist.
Tang Jingyuan didn't even raise his eyelids and replied calmly: "Not interested."
Lu Yunxi was unwilling to accept her fate. She used the remaining strength she had to sit up, grabbed Tang Jingyuan's sleeve, and looked at him pitifully.
"Brother-in-law! I'm just as pitiful now as my sister was back then. We were both sent to other men's beds by our mother. You were willing to help my sister back then, so can you help me now? I don't ask for any status, I just ask you to love me and protect me a little. I will definitely be obedient! In fact, if my sister can do it, I can do it too."
Just as she was about to move closer, Tang Jingyuan suddenly sat up and backed away, avoiding her like a snake or scorpion. Lu Yunxi hadn't expected him to react so strongly, and she rolled off the bed. The needle on the back of her hand was pulled out, and blood oozed from the back of her hand.
Lu An Ning just came back and saw this scene, and the ward suddenly became quiet.
Lu Yunxi was in a miserable state. She struggled several times but still couldn't get up. Tang Jingyuan glanced at her coldly, without any intention of helping her, and turned to walk out.
"I'll wait for you outside."
Lu Anning nodded, glanced at Lu Yunxi, guessed something but didn't point it out.
A long sigh came from above Lu Yunxi's head, and a hand appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw Lu An Ning standing in front of her.
Lu An Ning finally helped the person onto the bed, and asked the nurse to give her another injection. After the injection, Lu Yunxi frowned in pain. Lu An Ning chuckled at the doctor without any concealment.
After everyone left, Lu Yunxi leaned on the bed, as if she had lost all her energy.
"Lu Anning, you must be very happy now! I got myself into this state, and at that time, I thought you wouldn't help me."
"Then you still dare to ask me for help? Aren't you afraid that I'll call your mother?"
Lu Yunxi curled her lips and said, "You guessed it? That's right, the same experience is happening to me now, it's ridiculous! I was just taking a gamble, betting that you wouldn't leave me to die because of our similar experience. It seems that I won the gamble."
Lu An Ning didn't respond, and Lu Yunxi talked a lot more, talking about her previous life and the jealousy she felt when she first met her.
"I always felt that you stole the love that originally belonged to me, so I wanted to drive you away and trample you under my feet to prove that I was stronger than you. Only today did I realize that my biological parents didn't love you, nor did they love me. They loved themselves from beginning to end. Ridiculous!"
Those words of comfort were on the tip of his tongue, but Lu An Ning thought of the last time and swallowed them back, not wanting to say anything more.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Lu Yunxi smiled bitterly: "Thank you for helping me today, I won't let you pay in vain. Don't you want the agarwood pendant? And the thing I got from Ouyang Ying before, give me a few days, I will steal it from my dad and give it to you."
Lu Anning frowned, half believing and half doubting: "You want to help me?"
"Believe it or not! I'll let you know when there's news. It won't be long. Thank you for tonight. Go away! I want to be alone for a while."
Lu Yunxi said this and turned over, leaving her with her back.
Lu An Ning didn't force her to stay, and ordered her some food before she left. Through the window, she watched the two figures leave side by side, and she was overwhelmed with emotions, and she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
