Chapter 114 Under House Arrest Here
Pete, Yuan Pei, and Gu Lanlan left the ward one after another. Gu Lanlan was dragged away by Yuan Pei.
Only Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning remained in the ward.
It's much more spacious now.
"Lu Junyan, Lanlan isn't..."
"You, like Gu Lanlan, feel that I've never visited you even once, nor have I paid a single penny for your medical expenses, is that right?"
Lu Junyan interrupted Jiang Ning and said what he wanted to say first.
Jiang Ning sensed from Lu Junyan's tone and meaning that Gu Lanlan had wronged him.
But she didn't want to make wild guesses on her own.
She had experienced too many times before that unrealistic expectations led to disappointment.
"I have no idea."
Jiang Ning speaks the truth.
Lu Junyan chuckled softly, his laughter carrying a hint of self-mockery.
"The doctor said that you are fine in other aspects, only your leg needs to recover. It is not appropriate for you to continue to stay here, so I arranged for you to be transferred to another hospital."
Jiang Ning opened his eyes wide.
"Where to?"
"The newly opened rehabilitation center."
"No, I don't want to go. I can heal my leg at home."
Jiang Ning didn't have any particular aversion to the rehabilitation center; she just inexplicably didn't want to go to the place Lu Junyan had arranged for her.
Lu Junyan did not pressure Jiang Ning.
He consulted a doctor, who said that Jiang Ning's most severely injured part was his left leg, and that it would be best to go to a rehabilitation center to use proper equipment for rehabilitation, which would help him recover faster and reduce the likelihood of any lasting effects.
Lu Junyan could have told Jiang Ning what the doctor had told him, but the words caught in his throat, and he suddenly changed his mind:
"Going to the rehabilitation center will help you recover faster, and the faster you recover, the sooner you can get a divorce, plus LD Jewelry Fashion Week."
Jiang Ning was persuaded by Lu Junyan's words and arranged for a transfer to another hospital that same day.
She could tell that Lu Junyan was also eager to get a divorce.
It seems that her good news with Chu Qingxue is imminent.
Chenglu Rehabilitation Center.
This rehabilitation center recently opened after renovation, expansion, and refurbishment of the original sanatorium. It has introduced brand-new, cutting-edge medical equipment and aims to become a world-class rehabilitation hospital.
Jiang Ning became the first and only patient here.
The environment here is very beautiful, and the wards are fully furnished with all kinds of furniture and appliances. The medical equipment is high-end and advanced. It feels less like staying in a rehabilitation center and more like staying in a European palace with modern facilities.
However, this place is under closed management, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter.
When Jiang Ning first transferred here, she packed everything she needed into her suitcase and brought it with her, including design drawings and tools needed to make jewelry samples.
And of course, there's the divorce agreement.
She had already signed three copies of the divorce agreement, but Lu Junyan hadn't signed it yet.
She originally planned to take him to the Civil Affairs Bureau and have Lu Junyan sign the papers on the spot, but she didn't expect so many things to happen afterward.
Jiang Ning placed the divorce agreement on the bedside table, so that Lu Junyan could sign it first when he came over.
Only doctors and nurses come into her ward, and she doesn't think they'll be interested in her divorce papers.
As night falls, the neon lights of City A flicker, a scene of extravagance and decadence.
A group of people walked out of the Heyue Hotel in twos and threes.
This includes Chu Qingxue.
She's here tonight for a class reunion.
The alumni reunion of the No. 1 High School in City A was held, but neither Lu Junyan nor Yuan Pei were present.
Because Mo Yan has returned to China.
Tonight's class reunion is actually a welcome dinner for Mo Yan.
Where Mo Yan is, Lu Junyan should absolutely not be invited.
"Want to go for a second round of drinks?"
Among all these classmates, Mo Yan only said this to Chu Qingxue.
Through the gold-rimmed glasses perched on his high nose, Chu Qingxue saw the cynical smile in Mo Yan's lazy, narrow eyes.
"OK!"
She smiled sweetly.
She dressed up specially tonight; her hairstyle, makeup, and clothes were all pink, sweet and innocent—just like how Mo Yan remembered her from high school.
Chu Qingxue and Mo Yan walked into a bar, where they were the only two people.
If possible, Chu Qingxue would not want to be alone with Mo Yan.
Because Mo Yan is ill.
During high school, Mo Yan and Lu Junyan were two extremes in their class, yet they ended up in the same place.
One is so outstanding that people look up to them, and some people can't help but bow down and submit to them.
Another one was terrifying, and it also recruited a group of followers.
She was already Lu Junyan's girlfriend at that time, but Mo Yan still pursued her, single-mindedly trying to be good to her and granting her every request.
Mo Yan also comes from a wealthy family, but Chu Qingxue doesn't like him.
Because she had personally witnessed Mo Yan beat someone so badly that they ended up in the hospital and almost died in the emergency room.
The bar was dimly lit, and Chu Qingxue and Mo Yan sat close together at the bar.
She didn't need to look to know that Mo Yan had been staring at her.
"Judging from your expression, is something bothering you? Is it related to Lu Junyan?"
Mo Yan asked very directly, which saved Chu Qingxue some trouble.
Chu Qingxue lowered her long eyelashes, looking pitiful and charming.
She knew that Mo Yan liked this expression of hers the most.
"I do have some worries, but I don't have anyone to talk to..."
Before Chu Qingxue could finish speaking, her hand was grasped by Mo Yan.
She feigned panic and immediately pulled her hand away.
"Please don't do this, I...I'm not single now..."
"But I heard that you and Lu Junyan have broken up."
"No...it doesn't count as..."
Chu Qingxue hesitated, her eyes welling up with tears.
Mo Yan immediately took out a tissue and gentlemanly wiped away Chu Qingxue's tears.
"Tell me what happened!"
Chu Qingxue looked at Mo Yan with red eyes, her large, watery eyes filled with affection.
"There's something like this..."
Chenglu Rehabilitation Center.
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan had a fight today.
On the phone.
She overheard the caregivers chatting and learned that the newly opened rehabilitation center where she was staying was actually owned by Chu Qingxue's parents, and that the Lu Group had also invested in it.
The aforementioned Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue's parents had business to attend to, which involved this rehabilitation center.
"I don't want to receive treatment at the rehabilitation center run by the mistress's family; it's disgusting!"
This was the last thing Jiang Ning said to Lu Junyan on the phone.
"Jiang Ning, don't be unreasonable."
This was the last thing Lu Junyan said to her on the phone.
Jiang Ning angrily hung up the phone, then hobbled to the front desk with his crutches to process his discharge.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, we cannot process your discharge paperwork," the receptionist said to her with a forced smile.
"Why?"
"It was Mr. Lu's order that you must receive proper rehabilitation treatment here."
Jiang Ning knew that arguing with a receptionist was pointless.
She leaned on her cane and walked straight toward the front door.
Two uniformed security guards stopped her.
"Miss Jiang, please leave!"
Jiang Ning laughed in anger.
Is she here for rehabilitation, or is she being held captive here?!
"I'm leaving here today no matter what!"
Jiang Ning had barely finished speaking when a voice suddenly came from the main gate:
"I can take you away."
Following the sound, Jiang Ning saw a strange man.
The man was dressed in a suit and tie, tall and imposing, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his high nose. He had a smiling face and an air of refined elegance.
