Chapter 111 Became a Cripple
It was almost dark when Lu Junyan found Jiang Xiaoya.
Jiang Xiaoya had gotten lost and kept calling out "Xiao Ning" to people she met, which made them look at her like she was mentally ill.
The reason Lu Junyan didn't send anyone else to look for her, but came in person, was because once Alzheimer's disease flares up and people become confused, others might not be able to take her away smoothly, and forcibly taking her away might hurt Jiang Xiaoya.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoya sobered up a bit after seeing Lu Junyan and realized that she should be staying in the nursing home and how she ended up running away.
Lu Junyan drove Jiang Xiaoya back to Cixiang Nursing Home and settled her in. He wanted to go back to the hospital, but Xiao Zhang told him that Ning Junzhe, Gu Lanlan, Peter, and Yuan Pei were all there, so he gave up the idea.
"Mr. Lu, please don't blame me for being a gossip, but your friend... is Mr. Lu pursuing her?" Liu Guozhong, having enjoyed his Moutai, started to become more talkative.
"no."
Seeing that Lu Junyan denied it so quickly, Liu Guozhong sighed regretfully, "President Lu is not young anymore. Although you look quite young, a good man should settle down and start a family. You've been building your career for so many years, it's time to consider settling down!"
Lu Junyan remained silent.
Liu Guozhong has been retired for many years and does not have close ties with people in the business world. He was unaware of Lu Junyan's marriage to Jiang Ning.
However, Lu Junyan had no intention of informing him.
After all, he and Jiang Ning were about to get a divorce.
"By the way, is it really okay for you to be leisurely drinking with me here? Aren't you going to spend some time with your friend? You've done so much for her, don't tell me you don't care about her at all!"
Lu Junyan took a small sip of Moutai and said softly, "She already has enough people to take care of her. I don't like too many people."
Liu Guozhong felt that Lu Junyan's words had a hidden meaning, as if there was some secret. He poured himself another glass of Moutai and sighed, "Your personality... is just so stubborn and not straightforward enough."
Lu Junyan couldn't help but smile, which was taken as tacit agreement.
After dinner with Liu Guozhong, it was late at night, and Lu Junyan prepared to drive to the city's central hospital.
Contrary to Liu Guozhong's assumption, he did not actually visit Jiang Ning even once.
He just arrived too late, everyone else was asleep, and even the doctor on duty couldn't always run into him.
The imperial blue Bentley left the streetlights behind.
The city's central hospital came into view in the distance.
At this moment, someone called Lu Junyan.
"What's wrong, Qingxue?" Lu Junyan asked.
"Excuse me, Junyan, could you do me a favor?"
Chu Qingxue's voice came through the car's infotainment system; she sounded very anxious.
"Speak, what is it?"
"My parents have come here."
"oh?"
"They didn't tell me beforehand, and they just got off the plane... I have some work to finish, could you help me pick them up?"
The imperial blue Bentley was surprisingly quiet.
"Okay, have them send me your location, I'll be right there."
"That's great, thank you Junyan. I knew you were the best to me."
"Um."
Just as the imperial blue Bentley was about to drive into the city center hospital, it suddenly made a U-turn and drove onto another road.
Since Jiang Ning regained consciousness, Pete has stopped staying in the care room.
Pete originally wanted to stay, but Jiang Ning felt it was too unfair to Pete, and FY also needed Pete to go back and take charge.
Gu Lanlan had taken annual leave, and Jiang Ning felt that he had caused Gu Lanlan a lot of trouble and wanted her to go back.
"I'm not going back! I want to be conjoined twins with you."
In the ward, Gu Lanlan's joke made Jiang Ning laugh.
"You can come visit me when you have time. There's no need for you to stay in the hospital. I can hire a caregiver."
"I know you feel sorry for me, but I don't trust caregivers. They can't take as good a care of you as I can!"
Gu Lanlan's words deeply moved Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning has almost fully recovered, except for her left leg, which is still not working properly. After the surgery, she currently needs a wheelchair to get out of bed.
"I never imagined I would become a useless person."
Hearing Jiang Ning's mutterings to himself, Gu Lanlan immediately comforted him, "It's not like you'll never get better. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. You've only been gone a short while!"
"Hmm, that's true..."
Gu Lanlan's words encouraged Jiang Ning.
"Let me tell you, you can't be discouraged. Take good care of your injury, and once you're all healed, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, get a divorce, and then find two young, handsome guys to have some fun with. That's what life is all about!"
Jiang Ning was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Gu Lanlan's bold words.
"I also want to recover properly. How can I participate in LD Jewelry Fashion Week if my leg doesn't heal properly!"
Time was of the essence, and Jiang Ning was anxious.
But as Gu Lanlan said, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so there's no use in being anxious.
Lu Junyan didn't come to visit her today either.
However, Yuan Pei arrived.
Jiang Ning was surprised by Yuan Pei's arrival.
"You don't know, do you? I came to the hospital the day you had the car accident! Later, when you were in a coma, I stayed in the ward for three days, but the hospital stipulates that only two people can accompany you at most, so I went home at night."
Yuan Pei's words surprised Jiang Ning even more.
After she woke up, Gu Lanlan told her a lot about what happened in the hospital while she was in a coma.
However, he made no mention of Yuan Pei.
Jiang Ning subconsciously turned to look at Gu Lanlan, who cleared her throat guiltily.
She did it on purpose.
Gu Lanlan dislikes Yuan Pei.
She disliked all of Lu Junyan's cronies.
The one I dislike the most is Yuan Pei.
In Gu Lanlan's memory, Yuan Pei had always been Chu Xiaosan's accomplice. So when Jiang Ning had a car accident, Yuan Pei rushed over anxiously, running around tirelessly, which made Gu Lanlan almost think she was hallucinating.
Although Yuan Pei behaved well during Jiang Ning's hospitalization, she still held a grudge. Therefore, after Jiang Ning woke up, she deliberately did not mention a single good word about Yuan Pei.
In the ward, Yuan Pei was peeling an apple for Jiang Ning.
Gu Lanlan leaned close to Jiang Ning's ear and whispered, "I think this Yuan Pei has probably been possessed."
Jiang Ning smiled.
"Lanlan, have you started reading fantasy novels lately?"
How did you know?
Gu Lanlan asked in surprise.
Jiang Ning laughed even harder.
Yuan Pei had finished peeling the apple, and as Gu Lanlan took the apple, she casually remarked:
"No matter what, you're still much better than that scumbag husband, Aning."
Gu Lanlan's words were not intended to praise Yuan Pei.
But Yuan Pei smiled shyly after hearing this and scratched the back of his head.
"Really? Am I that good?!"
Gu Lanlan twitched her lips.
"Anyway, Brother Lu is busy taking care of his wife's parents, so he probably won't have time to come over. But it's different for me; I can come every day."
Yuan Pei spoke with a proud expression.
After listening, Jiang Ning didn't care whether Yuan Pei could come to see her every day; what she cared about was that Chu Qingxue's parents had actually come to City A.
Could it be that they think their daughter's wedding is approaching?
Jiang Ning glanced at his left leg, which was in a cast.
If she hadn't been in the car accident and her leg hadn't been broken like this, she and Lu Junyan would probably have already gotten their divorce certificate. If things had been going quickly, Lu Junyan might have already set a wedding date with Chu Qingxue.
Just as Jiang Ning was thinking this, he heard someone knocking on the door.
